birds to kill

sleeping sugar wakes with eyes sores
i'm looking to her for safe answers
glance is returned, two new planets
the solar fire has yet to be lit
i've got it on my radar
it's on my list of things to do
i've got a stockpile of stones
and birds to kill but i'm already glue
hold on now
what's the alarm?
will the road really take me that far?
backed up for miles at a time
what's the point of getting in line?
close your eyes
wait for the light
look inside to the rise
inside

ford the river

i'm a dangerous man with arms in my hands
please understand that i'm sinking
in contagious sand from dried up lands
nowhere to stand so i'm running away again
with muscles tight
i must take flight
but what if i
ran into myself running
and asked me where i go
always seems to be the same old
place that we go crazy
i'm a curious man, i catch what i can
i write it on my hand
yeah, and i've got endangered plans
trapped in a van
but where they began
i cannot find that trail or bust that jail
so i'll set sail
but what if i
i'm a patient man, an open clam
please understand that i'm closing up my shop
my sails have dropped, my sales have stopped
and i'm losing my consciousness, my endurance
but not my sense of growing old
you can't push the river
you can push me in it
i'm waiting for the end of this violent current
leave that job below to the undertow
i ran into myself drowning and said "hey how do you breathe?"
sure, but i thought that you we're ready
to fade out to your peace...
no!

show me the ropes around my neck
black envelopes for me to lick
you can't spit me out
there's blood in the river's mouth
and too much to swallow
i'll float while you choke
blow me some smoke grown below the bellows
taking out the walls in the maze you made to follow
you can't spit me out
there's blood in the river's mouth
and too much to swallow
i'll float while you choke

there's a place i go that takes me back home
just like the blowing wind outside
and who needs this?
all the conversations i miss are always spinning in my mind
hey, i guess we'll meet again some other day
hey, won't you send some sunshine my way
the night the fire built up inside
i know you couldn't fight it
i know you didn't light it, did you?
yeah it's time to say our last goodbyes
as we close our eyes we'll find the truth lies on the inside
i want to go outside
i want to take a long drive
it's been awhile since i've been drinkin
it's been awhile since i've been thinkin and i don't need another painful memory
i'm just trying to let good times survive
just like you always said
just like you always, you said
"gonna be blue skies up ahead"
going to that place today
you know, the one that takes my mind away
you know, the one that makes me feel alright
and i can see the trees waving at me with all their leaves
i can see the stars are out tonight

train magnet
04:15
|

|
grinding out the gears again
momentary motion
folk songs eat my skin when the train pulls me in
i'm winding 'round the hillside
with vagabonds, i'll drift tonight
a damaged man my glass in hand
that rain knows how to pour
but i'll just wait for more
say when! say when! say when!
yeah, my cup is always full
payment! payment! payment!
yeah, you know i never will
wooden nickels off to war with shopping sprees and spending sores
machete ready to cut my course but i'm the one with the forest
and shouldn't i ask you to lunch in case i self-destruct?
bring your waste by semi-truck
the casks roll off your back
and now we share the black
magnet! magnet! magnet!
yeah, how come you always pull?
payment! payment! payment!
yeah, you know i never will

coyote
07:21
|

desert wanderer, dizzy, alone
enter somber red, your fears faded tone
i know its over but the coyote still howls his shrill sounds
i'm low, eating crow so let's roam the prairies while burning some
crescent traveller in a midnight moonshine phase
guiding horses through the wastelands you create
bulldozers hanging 'round smooth over mountain sounds
hey oracle! just read my palm
another trail to lead me wrong
skyscrapers made of war melt down to molten core
crashing hands are shaking blind
they're crushing love that's deep inside
killing off the reasons why
some dead cranes fly

sun ocean
08:56

find your sun and rise as one
collapse into none
got holes in my pockets, what is money?
wet fingers in your sockets but if you stick them in further might find honey
the fears in your markets don't scare anybody but the bodies and bones unshown in a distant military
they say they will come - oh they'll come
they say they'll bring guns - bring their guns
they say they'll be gone - they'll be gone
their stay won't be long - won't be long
they gotta move on - moving on
there're maps to redraw
headed out of town now taking only back roads 'cause i know
wild animals keep me company
return the favor later when I need them to rise up against me

trench
03:56
|
|||
|
watching drops collect, it's hard to forget
about all the treasures that we buried with maps inside forever burning
we know the flames dance, we know they stay up late
but we found a new fire and it showed us how to see
that we can't restrain the forces flowing through this trench
that drain our fields but flood the cities in our way
hear the roaring tide crash you into night
and sleep soundly in your basket as you drift toward your new master
we can't restrain the forces flowing through this trench
that bleeds destiny into history gone stale
we can't restrain the forces flowing through this trench
that bonds through mud in ways that stampedes never taste

Sky Road Fly Madison, Wisconsin
Sky Road Fly is ready to set the stage on fire and send a clear message through the smoke signals. Originality is not dead for rock music. Not for this band. Not for you. Get swept away in their guitar fury, pounded by their rhythm section, and then soothed as the band harnesses magical dynamics to heal you, only to tear you apart again to remind you that you're alive. ... more
