The Staves - Icarus Lyrics
Ideas hang before me
Oh, but a breath away
They flicker into being
And then begin to fade
And when I'm tired of sitting
I drag my bones to bed
And when I'm tired of sleeping
I think of them instead
They're onl...
The Staves - Untitled Bonus Track Lyrics
Well the music I played ain't your kind
But I love you so and you know I don't mind

And you'll hold your ground

The Staves - Pay Us No Mind Lyrics
Easy come, easy go
Tell me things I want to know
Drink until your lips are black
You've given things you'll never get back
Oh you silly thing
Cold sheets of linen
Doomed from the beginning
Do what you will
Leave...
The Staves - I Try Lyrics
I wake, curled like a field mouse
Wrapped in your arms, I know
The house is still asleep
Seasons pass in a hurry
"Do not forget", he said
"I know you best of all"
I burn, I break, I try to do right
Yo...
The Staves - Rain City Lyrics
Opened my eyes

Great Grandpa - Let It Get Bad Lyrics
You wiggle a little 'til things get comfortable
A notch to ride is feeling wonderful
You have to taste it just to see how it moves
Staves off old flavors and then it fucks up the groove

The Staves - Train Tracks Lyrics
Oh, we could be jailbirds
Lying on the wooden floor
We could be train tracks
And we could be the 22:04
Speeding down, speeding down
I'm a fool
I'm just a fool
(I'm a fool)
We could be nothing
We could ...
The Staves - Sadness Don't Own Me Lyrics
Oh, my god
It's been so long
I'm a passenger, satellite
Still hanging on

At least I can say that I tried
Man am I burning alive
What have I become
Sadness don't own me for long
All t...
The Staves - The Motherlode Lyrics
Counting the winters, numb to the cold
Searching the valley, for secrets untold
The mountains are children, to someone so old
A king without kingdom or throne
Digging the mud and the stone
All men have left here
But you have rem...
The Staves - In The Long Run Lyrics
Lying, a dreamer, dreaming beside me
The city sirens keep me awake

I'll see you again in the long run
People they tell me I should be careful
That you'll worry, and I'm already miles away
But I...
The Staves - Mexico Lyrics
Take it back or let me go
It's better if I tell you so
I hurt you once before and I will do it again
Everyone I know is gone and I don't even know myself
I'm saving up
To take a trip to Mexico
I heard its the p...
The Staves - What Good Am I? Lyrics
Take me back to when I was a child
My body's cold and tired
I've never been the kind of woman
To pray for my situation to change
But I can't remember my name anymore
Oh, how I was long ago in a house, in my own h...
The Staves - Don't You Call Me Anymore Lyrics
Don't you call me anymore

And you're still only yo...
The Staves - The Shining Lyrics

Falling out of nowhere, calling out your number
Books beside the bed just where you lay your head
Man behind the counter, drinking limonata
Looks me in the eye before he turns away

Time makes every man a me...
The Staves - The Fire Lyrics
There is a flame, a flame inside my body
It burns my belly and it sears my flesh
And when it crackled up into my mouth it crept
And you were the closest at the time
The first to step into the firing line
What kind of peace, wha...
The Staves - Tongue Behind My Teeth Lyrics
I know where you're going
And I see where you've been
Patience is a virtue
And mine with you is wearing thin
It's easy to sit and wait
Speak with words you've stolen
From better men than you
Doors the...
The Staves - No Me, No You, No More Lyrics
[Verse 1]
How can I want you a little bit more than I did before?

Before I knew that you didn't love me no more

Don't you let me down
On and on, even the good ...
The Staves - Dead & Born & Grown Lyrics
Colours fade away
And things that were aren't here today
But time, it doesn't matter anymore
I'll meet you where we were before
And I'll stay the same and stand here on my own

The Staves - Blood I Bled Lyrics
Come the quickening feet that fall
Come the gathering rain
Suffering as I suffer you
Hearing you speak of pain
If I was
If I am
If I did
If I have

(Hard behind you)
Come the gathe...
The Staves - Feel Lyrics
I can't feel it
Now that you've gone
I have made you all that I want
I know you're keeping to your own some
You're running out of sight
When the light goes down

Sit there and you look at me

The Staves - Sleeping In A Car Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sleeping in a car
Living out a case
Putting on a face
Sneaking out at night
I'll call it on the phone
Tell you I'm alright

And I'm alone
[Chorus]
Know I love you
All I can

A room with a window facing west
Towards the sea
You, with your hands across your chest
Facing me

[Verse 2]...
The Staves - Open Lyrics
You say we don't do much talking
Still the river too much running

And I'm right here
Lock down demons

Phinehas - A War That Never Ends Lyrics
[Verse 1]
First light
Under quiet clouded cloak
All hell broke the ridge
Wry trees
Up a narrow trail
A wordless story
A war that never ends

Brothers and sisters sleep in a bed hollowed by staves
Like discard...
The Staves - Winter Trees Lyrics
[Verse 1]
White winter trees
Covered in snow
I don't mind

I think of you now
Here in the cold
You won't mind
You won't know
[Chorus]
But I never meant to say
Any of those things
Oh...
The Staves - Eagle Song Lyrics
I am a cardinal, red
I am of blood and of bones
And of heart and of head
A thousand miles ahead and behind

Oh, to be wasting my time
On a hill we lay in the sun
At the foot of a statue
Of old battles lost, ...

The Staves - Snow Lyrics
I am weak and I am selfish
You are but a guest in my heart
Welcome for now
But soon must depart
You're a Catherine Wheel
Spinning its last
You'd speed past the hedgerows
I'd ask if it's ok if I smoke
You&...
The Staves - Wisely & Slow Lyrics
Brother, you will never know
All the things I did for you
Many years ago

The song is still the same
Tender woman mourns a man
Sits in silent sorrow
With a ...

I wanna keep you inside me like a se...
The Staves - Black & White Lyrics

See myself in black and white

The Staves - Horizons Lyrics
It's a write off
Set it on, set it on, set it on
2.5 to the horizon
Set it off, set it off
Set it off, set it off

It's paper thin
And oh I want to shut it down
And jack it in

The Staves - Jolene Lyrics
Cocaine flame in my bloodstream
Sold my coat when I hit Spokane
Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes
In the early morning rain
Lately, my hands they don't feel like mine
My eyes been stung with dust, I'm blind
