Soul on Fire
04:11
|

I don't need those sacrifices
The ones you claim to cost so much
I have no need for your little devices
You only use them as a crutch
I just need participation
I need your soul aligned with mine
soul on fire, soul on fire
I don't need the town criers
So loud their false is ringing truth
I have no need for the hypnotizer
Pulling the wool and blinding you
I just need participation
I need your soul aligned with mine
soul on fire, soul on fire
You can waste your days away
You can be propped up as a target
In the line of fire like birds on a wire

New Jamb
04:56
|

Out in the woods, it's dark except the starlight
Things getting heavy in the deep of the night
Central PA feels more like Georgia
In the late summer, humid late summer
You know I've made some mistakes, this is no exception
Hungry bears they follow me, these things are getting heavy
I've made up my mind but my mind is the problem
I swear this is the last time I'll wrestle with this demon
crossfade to the lion and the lamb.
cue the new love. cue the new jamb.
I'm in over my head, I'm off the straight and narrow
The buzzards circle overhead to feed right off my marrow
Oh Lord, can you save me? Lord, can you hear me?
Will impunity follow, will you forgive me tomorrow?
Now i'm deep up in these woods with things getting heavy
I'm at a loss for words, I'm looking for the words
And you, my love
It's my weakness that you carry on your way to die
It's on your way to die
crossfade to the lion and the lamb.
cue the new love. cue the new jamb.

Prophet Songs
04:01
|

I saw you as I screamed in the wilderness
Screaming out in the wilderness
I said, "stop me if you've ever heard this one before"
We will not need the moon or the sun
A light will shine; an everlasting light will shine
Singing prophet songs
My darling, they're fitting a noose for me
There's a thunderstorm brewing behind this breeze
Let's get out through these trees
Singing our prophet songs
we don't have to be alone anymore
we don't have to be alone anymore
we don't have to live alone anymore

Off the Rails
04:11
|

When i was with you, you took me in
We could laugh and sing, two birds on a wing, yeah, we were free
But who cut in on you?
Set out to deceive all you knew to be has become unglued
Am i now the enemy? now that i set sail
We were the epitome but now are we off the rails?
When i was with you, you took me in
As if i were on angel wings
or Jesus Christ himself sent to save your sins
and I'd do anything to set your spirit free
From the rules you try desperately to keep
Am i now the enemy? now that i set sail
We were the epitome but now are we off the rails?
I'm not the enemy just cause i set sail
we could be the epitome when we get back on the rails

Hungry Bears
03:57

Sometimes I feel we're up against the hungry bears
Sometimes I steal a glance to see if you're still there
Hungry bears, a pace away
I'm trying to stay positive
Ambulance chasers, quick getaways, I'm trying to stay
They say we're mockingbirds, mockingbirds
Mindless in how we sing along
But the trees of the field will clap their hands to these prophet songs
Hungry bears, a pace away
C'mon, let's try to stay positive
Ambulance chasers, chasing away, c'mon, let's try to stay positive
We're lost in the woods with hungry bears and mourning doves
A broken heart, a broken heart, could be the perfect place to start

St. Mark
03:07
|

You're more like a buzzard than a dove
I guess a buzzard that I'm asked to love
A buzzard I'm not compelled to love
Don't think I don't see you circling around for me
but I just have to let it be
I'm just asked to let it be
all we need to do is love
all we need to do is love
Well I guess I'm not St. Mark
I've pulled up my shirt, I've shown the scars
The things I'd like to keep in the dark
I think it's time that you come clean
Shine the light so we can see
Finally, finally
all we need to do is love
all we need to do is love

Tired Birds
03:32
|

All along the way
We keep up a front
O, my love, when's the fire starting done?
We could look it in the eye
Face up to the firing squad
We'll realize
Cool waves wash over us
O, my love, i know it seems like i would run
Just to escape
But i stopped the motorcade
Like two tired birds, we took on the sea
But it's not just you and me
No it's not just you and me
Cool waves wash over us
We are not alone
