I love your touch
 I love your song
 I hear all the birds After you're gone 
I feel my heart 
Start to pound
 Every time
 You make that sound Lost in the stars 
Like when I was a child 
Love the way you smiled
 When the fire went wild 
I feel your hollow 
I love your hollow I feel your shadow 
I am your shadow And I feel like I feel like I'm feeling again 
I feel like I feel like I'm feeling again 
Feel like my heart is beating again 
I feel like I feel like I'm feeling again Do you ever feel like it's going
 To be all right
 Like you want to live
 In the light of the night I feel like I see 
 The truth in the lies
 If this ain't love 
 God bless the disguise And I feel like I feel like I'm feeling again 
I feel like I feel like I'm feeling again 
Feel like my heart is beating again 
I feel like I feel like I'm feeling again

Obscuro 04:26
I feel you sliding Back to Obscuro I feel you sliding Back to Obscuro Just like the low clouds Flying in the stormy sky Or in the blue sky Flying over the red lands I feel you jangle Beneath your summer skirt I feel you jangle Beneath your summer skirt Your body boneless Circling the dirt Your hair in your eye Covering up your hurt And I hear a paper cup Rolling down a black top I hear a paper cup Rolling down a black top And I am afraid for you I am afraid for me Don’t go away from Go away I see you lightning Chasing down the cattle I see you lightning Chasing down the cattle You walk beside them Into that silver wall Into the desert Shaking in the storm Into the desert Shaking in the storm

Santa Muerte 04:33
Santa Muerte Bring rain to this land Santa Muerte Help me be a man Santa Muerte I’m so lost Santa Muerte I’ll pay the cost I grew up I grew cold I fell in love With my own soul Santa Muerte I’m so lost Santa Muerte I’ll pay the cost I knew a girl from Carolina She gave me everything inside her But I was a boy of the night I never got to see her in the light And now she’s gone Now she’s gone Now in the room Up in the sky Now in the darkness Of your eye Santa Muerte I’m so lost Santa Muerte Am I the cost?

Loan me a wolf To feed my sheep Loan me a wolf To put me to sleep Loan me a wolf When I’m all alone Loan me a wolf Loan me a wolf Instead of a doll Loan me a wolf When I’m over the wall Loan me a wolf To take the fall Loan me a wolf Loan me a wolf So I can feel Loan me a wolf When the world’s too real Loan me a wolf When I’m leaving home Loan me a wolf For when my love Starts to roam Loan me a wolf To feed my sheep Loan me a wolf To put me to sleep Loan me a wolf When I’m all alone Loan me a wolf For when my love Gets too close

I called your name
 You said what for? 
 Beat of wings, baby
 Nothing more
 Summer light
 Call it back
 Another feeling
 The window passed And all the birds
 Leave the lake 
And all the times that I
 Heard you sing 
I never hear 
I always hear 
I only hear 
 The song you sing Radio
 Pretty song 
I can't hear
 Anymore
 Something more
 Than a baby in the way
 Wonder if you've seen it
 Once I was afraid And all the birds
 Leave the lake 
And all the times that I
 Heard you sing 
And all the love And all the fear Are nothing more than what Made things clear 
 
Who are you 
In the dark 
You play the game 
I'll take
 The heart
 Call my name 
I'll be here
 Maybe things can change
 After all these years And all the birds
 Leave the lake 
And all the times that I
 Heard you sing 
I never hear 
I always hear 
I only hear 
 The song you sing

Not my fault the sun came up Not my fault the sun came up Again and again and again Looking up at the Thai blue sky Seemed that life had passed him by Life and death as one Getting older every day Pleasure’s just a drop away One two three four five Don’t you call me suicide Viva la Muerte! Viva la Muerte! He left America behind Guess he got to the end of the line Free to choose, free to lose Free to loosen or tighten the noose Viva la Muerte! Viva la Muerte! This is the art of rushing blood This is dying to stay alive One two three four five Please don’t stop the ride Please don’t stop the ride Please don’t stop the ride

Let me tell you a story About a girl I know She comes from nowhere No she’s got nowhere to go Oh, oh, oh She grew up in a TV church When they found her dad Yeah, things got worse And every once in awhile I hear from her Every once in awhile She calls me on the phone Every once in awhile I think I think she’s coming home Sold all her music to make a little cash She’s living with her mom now She’s running from the past And every once in awhile She sings a little song Every once in awhile She calls me on the phone Every once in awhile I think I think she’s coming home There was a time; there was a happy time We swam in the rivers Made love in the pines And every once in awhile I think about those times Every once in awhile I call her on the phone Every once in awhile I think I think about going home

She said it only comes once She said Lord, I should've tried She said my dear, there's the world of the heart Or you can leave that world behind They called her Okareda Lee She was part Virginian, part Shawnee It was just before the second big war When the bootlegger's son came knocking at her door Stay a little longer, he always used to say Stay until the break of day Stay a little longer, my sweet little O You're all I've got now, don't you know Round and round the mountain one night He brought her home in the morning light But even then he couldn't let her go And then all of a sudden, everybody knows Everything can change in a night You better talk to her dear; you better make it all right When your father's the law you can make a man run And you better not be no bootlegger's son Stay a little longer, he always used to say Stay until the break of day Stay a little longer, my sweet little O I'll marry you right now, don't you know She said my dear, I'm doing fine But the dream of love still makes those white eyes shine In a world that's losing all sense of time The bootlegger’s son is still on her mind

This is the song of right now This is the song of right now Song of the sun going down Song of the sun going down This is the song lovers find This is the song lovers find But only one at a time Only one at a time This is the song, song of old This is the song, song of old Song the birds once told Song the birds once told This is the song of fire and friends This is the song of black and white This is the song that never ends This is the color of night So goodbye reds and blues Hello stars and moon Summer night don’t leave too son Summer night don’t leave too soon This is the song of right now This is the song of right now Song of the sun going down Song of the sun going down Song of the sun going down

11:11 and I wish for you I don’t believe in magic But I do Don’t mean to shout Don’t want to make you cry I’m just going a little bit out of my mind 11:11 now I’m gone from you Going to move to the country Find a little room Now I see the horses every day Gotta learn to run I gotta learn to stay 11:11 now I’ve got nothing to do Gotta get out of this country Get out of this room 11:11 and I wish for you I don’t believe in magic But I do Gonna get on a plane Not just any old plane Gonna be a brand new man Gonna see the plan in the sand Wanna see my fears disappear Wanna see some people disappear Wanna see some violence Wanna see some violence Wanna see some violence Wanna see some violence

Oneiromancy 05:22
The song was set under the sun The music played under the sun The words were felt late at night But that’s all right, that’s all right The seas of shores we’ve sat upon We walk upon when we dream I am so glad that I can see you When I dream, when I dream The leaves of ghosts are now unearthed I’ve always loved you for what it’s worth The sky is closed until the worst Passes by, passes by If I told you that I loved you Would you turn the other cheek? If I told you that I loved you Would you turn around to see? Would you turn around to see? Do you want to step outside your room? Walk the dunes under the moon Do you really know what I want to do? Every time I see you, every time I see you
