lyrics

The thunderstorms shake the mountains
hang over the Vulcan
and flood through our raincoats frayed and worn
It'll be a long night again
and I watch the rain sweep the interstate
with its torrential downpours
when we awake
we'll find a world swept clean by floods and tidal waves
and the fears of the night before will seem so small
with the dying of the day
And the blue moon's as high as the red clay skyline
seen from campus on these birmingham backroads
so let's catch a cab before we end up with emptier wallets
and more broken bones
You know they say 3 men all died beneath the Newton hanging tree
with that crushing weight, how the boughs don't bend is way beyond me
the trench they dug for their feet
beneath those branches
it'll never fill.
And I know how that feels, we've all got voids left in us that we just can't heal
You'll find their remains deep in the forest
Sleeping and Dreaming in a hastily marked grave
The only stones left unturned after all 3 tornadoes last May
So build them a funeral pyre
and let the skies bleed ashen gray
And let the winds that ushered us in
take us all away someday
This I pray, This I pray.

The moon over scull creek reminds me of the shine in your eyes
bathed in my headlights as I dropped you off that night
and I asked you to wait, leaned in to kiss you
and I swear I fell in love as the sounds of the cicadas rise
Back when everything was simple, when everything made sense
and all we had was ourselves and our happiness
But summer bled into fall
and I felt the flames start to die
I tried frantically to fan them to keep them alive
and winter came on stronger, the kindling gave in
with the bonfire just a smolder of what it had been
I dug through the embers, reached through the ashes
made castles from the dust
so desperate to make everything fit back to where it was
because love is what you build, and never what you burn
I will love you even though
the wires in my brain are frayed
I will love you even though
an empty heart is a hollow place
I will love you even though, you only get me at my worst
and with rock bottom as my foundation
I'll love you even if it hurts
