My Beloved
How do I? Get rid
Of the Demon
You walked
Oh you walked, around and around in my heart
I don’t want to love another
You and I are forever tethered
Oh so thin, we walk this line
And down below is the deepest, darkest, lie….
Oh my love he walks in line
My beloved, every time
My beloved, every time
My beloved, you’re out of line
Oh my love is hard as nails
My love died upon the rail
My love died upon the rail
My love died, on beds of nails
You and I are forever tethered
You and I are forever weathered
Oh the bough breaks and the devil will awake
Oh the bough breaks and the devil will take
You are, the master
You are, the master
You aren’t not, some sadist master
You are the master
You and I are forever tethered
You and I are forever weathered
Oh the bough breaks and the devil will awake
Oh the bough breaks and the devil will take

Faster than the Devil
Faster than the devil oh oh oh
Faster than my rights
Faster than the devil oh oh oh
Faster than my life
Oh oh oh
Jonathan you ride
Oh how you ride
For I paint you like the devil
And I give you no life
There’s a crack in the wall and an eye
The Tell-Tale Heart and I
For I paint you like the devil
And I give you no life
Faster than the devil
On horseback you ride
On the back of the devil for you’ve taken your own life
Oh Oh Oh
Jonathan you ride
Oh how you ride
For I paint you like the devil
And I give you no life
There’s a crack in the wall and an eye
The Tell-Tale Heart and I
For I paint you like the devil
And I give you no life

Keeley
Keeley put your white dress on
And you’ll become the maiden of the dawn
With your vial of poison you run
A substitute for what was called love
Cause oh, oh we got a slash of devil’s tongue
And it’s displayed across our palms
Where do we belong?
And the moon, gazes on us with empty eyes
Trailing the heal of demise
And we slip in to Edentide
And our isolation is here at even’s fall
With Bella Donnas lacing up the wall
It’s just poison that’s all
Oh Keeley come back from the pine
Before we slip in to Edentide
You never did anybody wrong
And you’ll always be my maiden of the dawn
Cause oh, oh we got a slash of devil’s tongue
And it’s displayed across our palms
Where do we belong?
And the moon, gazes on us with empty eyes
Trailing the heal of demise
And we slip in to Edentide
And our isolation is here at even’s fall
With Bella Donnas lacing up the wall
It’s just poison that’s all

Thoroughbred
Your assault
Has been told
Even your breath, takes a toll
Thoroughbred
Thoroughbred
Blood stained red
And I hold you like the dead
I’ve seen you, through and through
You wear me, just like a noose
Thoroughbred
Eyes beat red
If charged you’re better off dead
I’ve seen you
Through and through
You hold me
Just like a jewel
Hold me, Hold me
Thoroughbred
Taken from the ledge
A horse’s head
Is lyin’ in your bed
Hold me, Hold me
We’re softer than the light
Yet cold and dark as night
A farmer and a gun
You’re your father’s golden son
A horse is in your lungs
And this war it ain’t never won

Wake
Slaughter me, oh slaughter you
Divinity is upon you
I take your hand, and I walk you out
I leave you now, to the frozen south
And I lay frozen on the lawn
I lay frozen here ‘til dawn
My marble eyes
My heart of stone
Is housed in a bereft unknown
I take your hand and I walk you out
Leave you now, to the frozen south
And if you knew me you would wait
For, unto the day
Oh the day, oh the day, oh the day, oh the day
When I wake
Oh your dreaded, poisoned past
So you left him for one last glass
You point the pistol and he points it back
Though you love him you’ll never fight back
Southern doll, on the mantle
Silent scream, from behind the wall
I take your hand, and I walk you out
I leave you now, to the frozen south
Love has lead me to this song
As I lay here on the lawn
Now you’re gone, oh you’re gone, oh your’e gone
Oh you’re gone
How I’ve done wrong

Dandelion Daze
I left a wish for you on the lawn
I hope that you can love again
I know that things are wrong
And it’s hit you like the weight of lead
All these guns have left me
All these guns have left me here
All my hate is breached
For the coming of a brand new year
Dandelion Daze
I left a wish for you on my grave
Would you march upon
The river where my love slipped away
All these guns have left me
All these guns have left me here
All my hate is breached
For the coming of a brand new year

Holiday Song
You, said your life was empty
Oh but these arms are here for eternity
And your family, full of dread
Lay poisoned, in their beds
It’s not your fault, it’s just the way you were bred
Oh all these lies beneath the cross
Oh, stab your eyes out
It’s sight you lost
And the sickened, and unwed
With their cats and candles around their beds
If you’re alone, it’s o.k. if that’s how it ends
Can you take me, down to the water
Can you lead me, straight under
Oh your eyes, cold and serene
In this watery dream
And your family, full of dread
Lay poisoned, in their beds
It’s not your fault, it’s just the way you were bred

The Roses
The oaks and the vines, and the branches entwine
Around my heart
And a melancholy winding led to my depart
And it was clear, that you were not here
For the roses
And you stood watch, over a man-made lake
You ain’t no saint, of the roses
And you wore, paper thin sleeves
In this mire, of thorns
And with ill fate, we lay beneath
Oh that white cross, bearing this loss
And with ill fate, we lay beneath, oh that white cross
Bearing this loss
And I shall, continue to make, bouquets of roses from this fate
And so I shall continue to make, bouquets of roses
From this fate

The Wolves
When you were thrown, to the wolves
I tried to save you, but my heart was in repose
And please take with you, this piece of fragile gold
For my jewels they lay here on the altar
Safely hidden from your rapture
When they drove the stake into you
I saw your body it was hollow through and through
And I don’t need faith to know that I can still see you
For I died with you in this rapture
Our bodies slain here on the altar
When you were small, they wrote lines on the wall, that said you’re nothing at all
And the capture, of your dreams, and the rapture and the scream, and your body’s still next to me.
When you died, everyone knew your name
Your body and face carved out in a deliberate frame
And we all surrendered to this deep impending shame
For we died with you in this rapture, our bodies slain here on the altar
When you were small, they wrote lines on the wall,
That said you’re nothing at all
And the capture, of your dream, and the rapture, and the scream, and your body’s still next to me

Silence/Slain
Air tight, is your cage
Hungry, for days
My lovely one
My lovely one
Silence, of the slain
You call out, but it’s all in vain
My lovely one
My lovely one
And the blithe, and the bain
And you rise like a siren that’s been slain
For you’re still hungry
For this roughened gaze
But I am like the dawn light in your way
Oh tell, tell the truth
Was this book, written for you?
My lovely one
My lovely one
Oh and the cry, and the pain
And you rise like bird, caged
And you’re still hungry for this roughened gaze
But I am like the dawn light in your way
Follow me, follow me, in the mirror, it’s not me
Follow me, follow me, in the mirror, it’s not me
Follow me, follow me, in the mirror, it’s not me

Here It Lies

Here it Lies
Here it lies a pile of sand
Watch it run out of my hands
Oh across the desert land
This gun it fell out of my hands
So you take the mortal bone
Place it down beneath the throne
Thinking of the king and I
This is not where power lies
All along the road is dim
I found someone to take you in
And though your heart is made of pure sin
Oh the art of dying, oh the eagle flies round
With your heart in its talon
You left your misery on the ground
Here it lies a pile of sand
Watch it run out of my hands
Oh across the desert land
This gun it fell out of my hands
So you take the mortal bone
Place it down beneath the throne
Thinking of the king and I
This is not where power lies

This is a totally mesmerizing album. It;s really special, and feels like a beautiful melancholic painting (if that makes any sense). Amongst singer-songwriters, very few have such a distinctive style of there own.
