Lonely So High

Can I come over tonight?
Would you keep this worn soul company?
Mama, I am lonely so high
I miss you already
Even the sun seems dimmer beside your eyes
I miss you all day

I will go to bed tonight
But not to rest my bones
I will go to bed tonight
To ease the pain your absence loans
Even the moon weeps that you sleep through its watch
I miss you all night

I will wake in the morning
And see another day through
I am lonely so high
But I am one day closer to you
I am lonely so high
One day closer to you
I miss you always

Inspiration, Inspiration

Inspiration, Inspiration
Where have you gone
Far away in the heather
You shelter your heart
No nearer to my grasp
As the days flacidly pass

You trifle with boredom
You romance apathy
Laying your tongue in it's mouth
To incite the silence
Laying your hands cross the breast
Of writhing indolence

Inspiration, Inspiration
Haven't I done you proud
Made your voice louder
Than the whisper in my ear
You run from me now to the meadow
Where muses lay their heads
I wait for you in the darkness
Wait for your harmony to fill my head

When The Pills Run Out

I wander town
Whenever I am by myself
It's hard to tell
How far with it I could go
These hands you see
Are waiting to betray me
And if I drop out of the circle
Please come and find me
And nurse me back to life
Bring back the good inside

You won't know me
When next year's autumn arrives
I'll be far away
In a place where I can't survive
You can't reach me
No matter how you swear you'll try
And when I lose you there
In that valley of fear
I'll lay down my sword and die
I'll meet you on the other side

I can see you there
A premonition in my eye
You're trying hard
To hold me from the fire
Your tears stream down
Causing quakes as they hit the ground
But I can't hold you baby
And lie in your ear
Tell you I will be OK
When I'm about to drop away

Hold on tight
To these days that come around
When you see me smile
Or the stories I always tell
They're threatened now
One more day of easiness is down
But I'll miss you mama
Wherever I go
However I'm weighted down
I'll still love you when I break the bow
