Fortunate Isles

Over my shallow grave grows the myrtle
An abandoned bathtub, full of turtles
The faint screech from a forgotten well
Mines where the glow worms dwell
A fox that talks, will only lie
A loyal dog, will never leave your side
It is as old as it is restless
And I've fallen in it's nest
A dilapidated chest
In what feels like a dream
It's not hard to see
I'm running towards nothing
Nothing, nothing
Surrounding
Nothing, nothing

Sore Gums

Put your wisdom teeth
Back on the shelf
You lost them for a reason
They say that you're an adult now
But you still feel the teething
First days of school
A girl that you never saw grow up
You wonder if she's happy
You wish her all the luck
You see her once again as she works
A cashier job
You expect her to recognize you but
She does not
She looks blankly at you as the register beeps
You say no when she asks you about
The receipt
Would've had too pay the world back
What it was owed
The pain of growing up
The pain of growing up
You decide to call your grandmother
She picks up on the first ring
And she just wants to hear about your week
So you tell her everything
You tell her that you love her
The conversation was brief
You feel a pain in your stomach
And can't help but weep
Regretfully the call didn't go on longer
But you still make sure too call next week
You don't know why it upset you like it did
Remembering she was young then
When you were a kid
Would've had too pay the world back
What it was owed
The pain of growing up
The pain of growing up

Long Black Veil

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me
He walks these hills in a long black veil
And visits my grave (Nobody knows)
When the night winds wail (Nobody sees)
I'll suffer our sins, (Nobody knows)
I'll suffer our (Nobody sees)
Can't sing with his hymns, (Nobody knows)
I don't know how (Nobody sees)
The judge said son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word, thou it meant my end
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend
Oh, the scaffold is high and eternity's near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But late at night, when the north wind blows
In a long black veil, he cries over my bones
He walks these hills in a long black veil
And visits my grave (Nobody knows)
When the night winds wail (Nobody sees)
I'll suffer our sins, (Nobody knows)
I'll suffer our (Nobody sees)
Can't sing with his hymns, (Nobody knows)
I don't know how (Nobody sees)
Nobody knows
Nobody sees
