The raven followed me
I ran into the forest
With mountains in the fog
Just looking at me like that
I thought I'd miss the light in that window
But I kind of like the dark
It's all crooked under the moon
But everything I held
I knew I'd have to leave
And the raven followed me
The raven followed me
The raven followed me

And none of them once could find their way
Through all the midnight lights and coffee stains
So they lament
Burning up the fields along with all the little lies
Making do without everything they need
So please
There's nowhere else I'd rather be than dying with you
And every little thing
Buried in the flower beds
Underneath the snow
The moment will pass, and in the end
Though we know we're not we feel alone
We'll just try to be patient on our own
But we're only young
Like fire crawling in the trees through all our little lives
Pulling through despite caving in our knees
So please
There's nowhere else I'd rather be than dying with you
And every little thing
It's every little thing

Rain, hold me in your palm
Pull me back into the earth
Embers where once I laid within
The ashes of the conifers I knew
Suddenly it all recedes
How I believed in you
And little do they see
As they lay the coals to rest
I'm the smoke that's crawling down their throats

Sitting on the roof looking at the lake, I think I need to be alone
But I never really know, why should I, I think I'm still a kid
I'll never really know
I'll never really know
I'm sleeping in the field where there should have been snow, the grass feels better dead
Like the water leaping off the cliff, saying shit to me
Whatever it means, it's always there, I think it always will be
I'll never really know
I'll never really know

Greyhound

Sleeping on a greyhound
Dreaming through the window steam
I'm little let down
Overthinking my dishonesty
It wasn't in the papers
It's not like the children need
Growing up was safer
When it wasn't about recovery
So know if we are coming back
Home for me was never yours to have
Cold like the morning
Never youthful, always young
With hands bent and holding
The part of you I hope will never fade away
And here I'm on the 9:05
But what I'd give to be fourteen
In the hope for every time
I'd rather be there than anywhere I am
I'm waking in my fever dreams
And I'll burn alive
But who are you
To look down from my eyes

New River

Mother I may never marry if I make it out of here
The sleet from the mountain is pulling the village into the sea
And I'm holding the rock face with hands I've never really known
But it's just a little moment, I know
It's quiet as the ocean kills
And vibrant as a silent film
So I'd float with the bodies down the new river and back for you
But I fell through the bluffs with the lighthouse waiting there for me
So from under the boats I'll watch the slowest dawn burn out
And it's just a little moment, I know
So there it is, and it's okay
The water's dark and we're gone anyway
The wind reached her hands out quietly
Clothed in leaves from all the fallen trees
She left me in the snow and with a kiss
Then broke the rocks and rivers in my wrists
So down the foxes lay
Down the foxes lay
Down the foxes lay
Down the foxes lay
Down the foxes lay
Down the foxes lay

Drift of the Foxes

Laying down in the snow as its eaten by the lake
And any moment they'll know that I'm barely breathing
So the foxes will wait and watch as I bleed
Into the open cold and notice suddenly
There's nothing in the sky but slowly dying stars
And from underneath my rocks scream one hundred little fauns
And soon, they'll be gone
Seems there's something in the air that's keeping me alive
And any moment I'll know it was never really mine
So the dawn pulls the chains and blood fills the tide
As the foxes feast on what's left of what's mine like the
Charcoal in my throat and bruises on my thighs
Licking up the pain from underneath my eyes
But what am I?
Maybe there's nothing on the other side of the hill and this is everything
All in all for what it's worth I think I kind of like the way you looked at me
And this is everything
This is everything
This is everything
This is everything

Lay Hope

Wading through the water with nothing in my heart
But baby's breath and a pond that's growing dark
I feel it all again like an emotional affair
I'm just breathing in the pines through which it tears
Oh, and it's more than I can hold this time
More than I can hold this time
If nothing's coming everywhere
It's more than I can hold this time
There's something in the water and there you are again
Laying down the lily as it bends
Now she's laying on the carpet with roses in her hair
Gone and somehow hiding everywhere
Oh, and it's more than I can hold this time
More than I can hold this time
If nothing's coming everywhere
It's more than I can hold this time

If i remembered more than just the smell of all these leaves
I'd rip them from my lungs and lay them at your feet
The book would hardly close, you know the binding's too far bent
So thank you, little raven, but I know she's dead
Everything will matter until everything is gone
Somewhere past the Yukon, the wind still says her name
And a forest waits behind it, and rose from where I came
You know it makes me cry and still I have this pond
Thank you, little raven, but I still miss my aunt
But everything will matter until everything is gone
If only you could keep me here but nothing ever will
I'm picking up these leaves and crawling up this hill
Then you'll leave me in the mountains as they slowly fall apart
And the wind, little raven, will lift you from my heart
Everything will matter until everything is gone
Everything will matter until everything is gone
Everything will matter until everything is gone
