Witch Hunt

Spare me all the petty details
The drunken tales so spun with valor
Now sweet will soon turn sour
They found her with blood beneath her nails
Curled up in the river and her limbs had become splinters
It's become a witch hunt for the murderer of Jane
My love, oh my love, sing for me once more
Behind the walls they can't see the pain
And the scars on my heart that she tore and tore
Elizabeth who lives down on the main
Tell her she's suspected
And the evidence suggested
She's guilty of bewitching my dear Jane
I hear there's twenty more just like her
And the devils dare not spite her
It's become a witch hunt for the murderer of Jane
My love, oh my love, sing for me once more
Behind the walls they can't see the pain
And the scars on my heart that she tore and tore
Hang the witches, burn the crows!
This village be unholy
We've gone to hell so slowly
Though laconic, this rotten lot all knows
It's best to keep our heads
Lest we be conjured from our beds
It's become a witch hunt for the murderer of Jane
My love, oh my love, sing for me once more
Behind the walls they can't see the pain
And the scars on my heart that she tore and tore
It's become a witch hunt for the murderer of Jane
Did they see through my lies and facade of moans?
Behind the walls they found out my feign
And the scars on her back, and the slits in her bones

Perfectly Imperfect

I awoke and thought you were a dream
But that's not true
Or so it seems
You and all your stupid foolish ways
Have caught me in
Your fatal sway
And oh, how could I know
That your tears would pull the rug out from below
I hate that I love you
'Cause I get scared thinking of you
You're perfectly imperfect
And that's just scratching at the surface
I ain't that wild about you
But I'm not leaving here without you
Can't take it anymore, stop lying
I'm falling on the floor, I'm crying
The games you play when you think I'm not there
You'll never win
But you don't care
Everything I do, it's all for you
But you don't see
What I've gone through
And oh, how could I know
That your tears would pull the rug out from below
And I, all I did was try
I'm head over heels, I don't care how it feels
I hate that I love you
'Cause I get scared thinking of you
You're perfectly imperfect
And that's just scratching at the surface
I ain't that wild about you
But I'm not leaving here without you
Can't take it anymore, stop lying
I'm falling on the floor, I'm crying

Theory
03:29
|

I broke my nail on a crystal skull
(I got a point to make, I got a world to shake)
I'm doing anything to make my life less dull
But every step you take is your worst mistake
Tell me your theory and I'll tell you mine
We don't agree but you keep me in line
Maybe someday we can see this through
But I can't be around if I don't have you
You see the dark and I can see the light
I don't really care who's wrong or right
You're the only one I can really trust
'Cause the world's no match for the two of us
I cut my teeth on the guidestones
(I got a point to make, I got a world to shake)
If only I could show you all the unknowns
But no one is awake
Tell me your theory and I'll tell you mine
We don't agree but you keep me in line
Maybe someday we can see this through
But I can't be around if I don't have you
You see the dark and I can see the light
I don't really care who's wrong or right
You're the only one I can really trust
'Cause the world's no match for the two of us
Are you scared in this world
Well count me in and you can be my girl
'Cause there's nothing they don't know
And no one to care
Tell me your theory and I'll tell you mine
We don't agree but you keep me in line
Maybe someday we can see this through
But I can't be around if I don't have you
You see the dark and I can see the light
I don't really care who's wrong or right
You're the only one I can really trust
'Cause the world's no match for the two of us

The Last Dinosaur
03:52

They say I’m dead for sure
But somehow I endure
I am the last dinosaur
I could have been extinct
But didn’t stop to think
Balancing on the brink
Living way past my time
Somehow got left behind
Out of sight out of mind
Up on the moon a man is smiling
At how he’s taken over here
Me and my kind go into hiding
Soon to disappear
Oh disappear
Yes disappear
Seems living in the past
Was never meant to last
Slipping out of my grasp
They’ve all been left for dead
Maybe just put to bed
Or is it all in my head ⟶
The end of all that’s pure
Left feeling so unsure
I am the last dinosaur
Up on the moon a man is smiling
At how they’ve taken over here
Me and my kind go into hiding
Soon to disappear
Oh disappear
Yes disappear
They say I’m dead for sure
But somehow I endure
I am the last dinosaur

Seven Stars

I haven't watched the news in a while
That's alright, 'cause I remembered how to smile
So what, there's people dying every day
It sounds bad but you'll see when you're okay
Open your eyes and see if you can
How far we've fallen from the holy land
No rivers of gold, no chariots of light
How could we leave it all behind
Take me, show me, what I mean in this war
Never met anyone like you before
You said you could see the spirit in my eyes
Take me back to the field where I died
The time has come, seven stars aligned
But you're a stranger, how can we be entwined
All the treasures of Ephesus couldn't bring me round
Through a liar your truth was found
Take me, show me, what I mean in this war
Never met anyone like you before
You said you could see the spirit in my eyes
Take me back to the field where I died
Take me back to the field where I died

Jane's Song
01:31
|

|
Is there nothing left to be said
When your fire's all out and the embers are dead?
I try to keep my head above the water
But at night I think "What if the waves already got her?"
How many times can I apologize
Before the light runs from your eyes
Jane, you're the hole in my heart
I shouldn't have let us be driven apart
You ruined my life but I can't let you go
Don't burn the house down, let me carry you home
