Song Lyrics

It's impossible to sleep
In a house with no curtains
While the sun is smiling
Making it worse
When the only relief is a dream
That springs from the black
On the back
Of the corpse of a horse
So I recklessly travel
The lowest high road
Like a gale
Spit from the mouth of a storm
Brother, is this the life that I want
Is it flesh, is it breath, is it bone
Or is it only the air between
Leaves as they fall
So the devil may dance
In light that shined softly
Through stained panes of glass
In my door
While sheets collect sweat
Like currency to spend
On affections of low dollar whores
I long to better myself
But only enough to talk that big talk
Like every little brother does
Cry about what I deserve
And what I want
When I've laid every brick
From my home
Out of flesh, out of breath and
Out of bone
And out of the air between
Leaves as they fall
When your last footstep rang
And then faded away
I was freed from
The absence of spark
I thought of your beauty
On the day that we met
And the feel of your
Form in the dark
Not everyone is chosen
Or lucky enough
To be willing and around
When a man longs to be loved
It sounds bad to say
But my intentions were good
I sought to lay bricks for a home
Out of flesh, out of breath and
Out of bone
And out of the air between
Leaves as they fall
