They Beckoned Me Here

I can’t keep count
I can’t amount
to this song I wrote
Floundering about
spitting up doubt
just to stay afloat
I’ll take the mistake
That’s lying in wait
If it means more time
But I’ve buried the trust
By kicking up dust
Just to ease my mind
But what do I care
What do I know?
If I’m going nowhere
How could I go?
Ooo, what is one to do
When all of this
All of it is through?
Will my body start anew?
They named me a martyr
But deep under water
They called me out
And with the start of the sleuth
For the god awful truth
I cracked like the lands of the drought
I’m tired and numb
And the lyrics won’t come
When I call for them
But they beckoned me here
To this helm that I steer
At the point of pen
Oh god, what have I done
Just to gather their grace?
I better run
They’re picking up pace
Ooo, what is one to do
When all of this
All of it is through?
Will my body body start anew?
Have I wrote it all down?
As they crash at the door
What a harrowing sound
The waves that feast on the shore
Ooo, what is one to do
When all of this
All of it is through?
Will my body start anew?
Will they bury me?
It’s true
It was I that sent for you
To carry me
Carry me through
What more could I do?

Get Out

I can hear it in my voice when you call
Feel it on my skin when you come in
No don’t you sit there
Don’t you make yourself at home
This is not your place now
You better go
Cause if you stay
I just don’t know
You tap your fingers against the table
Click your teeth against your tongue
Those little things to make me so unstable
Wind me up just to come undone
Now I’m standing my ground
And it’s you who better run
So get out
Get out
This is not your house
Get out
Get out
I’m done with this run around
And I’ve hit the ground
So start running
Cause I’m running you out
You speak so softly
Just like a lover would
But get your words and your looks up off me
They’re not doing you no good
And you graze yourself along my things
Like they somehow all belong to you
And now I’m the one who's overreacting
Well, I don’t give a damn about your point of view
So get out
Get out
This is not your house
Get out
Get out
I’m done with this run around
And I’ve hit the ground
So start running
Cause I’m running you out
No, don’t you do this
Cause if you do
You know it’s done to me
And I’m done with you
I’m done with you
I’m done with you
I’m done with you
I’m done with you
No, don’t you do this
Cause if you do
You know it’s done to me
And I’m done with you
So get out
Get out
Get out
Get out
This is not your house
Get out
Get out
Get out
Get out
You better
Get out
Get out
Get out
Get out
Get out
Get out
Get out

Will it come out tonight?
Will it all come out tonight?
But if you close your eyes
Is it good enough for you?
So be careful what you speak
Cause it will be used against you
No matter what you plea
No matter what you try to
Believe
I guarantee
Your words belong to me
Cause no (no no no)
There are no secrets here (you swear)
Yet still they slip through the cracks into all those suspected ears
So, if you don’t know what’s at stake now
Speak only what is written to the living here on Tabbard Lake
This is the risk you chose
And it’s clear to me
If you’re the one knows
And you haven’t already told
Then at least
I can rest easy
And you can rest In peace
Cause no (no no no)
There are no secrets here (you swear)
Yet still they slip through the cracks into all those suspected ears
So, if you don’t know what’s at stake now
Speak only what is written to the living here
Let it all out
As you’re falling to your knees (falling to your knees)
Cause if it’s worth crime
Then it’s worth the casualties
And if you’re gonna bother
then to hell with all the foresight
Cause a slip of the pen or the tongue or the neck
Would end it all tonight
Or I suppose
I could let you go
But no
Cause no (no no no)
No there are no secrets here (you swear)
Yet still they slip through the cracks
Into all those suspected ears
So if you don’t know what’s at stake now
No if you don’t know what’s at stake now
There’s nothing left that you can say now
There’s only what is written for the living here on Tabbard Lake

What did I do to deserve this?
How did I end up here?
It’s been so long
But nothing much has happened since
My hands worn raw
Smooth the stone
But my work’s not done
And if it’s never over whose to say it’s even begun
How would I know?
I hold my hands onto the ground
And turn the world until the sun goes down
Need somewhere to rest these bones
Will you help me push this stone?
Eternity’s not so long
When it’s going nowhere
And it’s all I know (It’s all I know)
It’s all I know (It’s all I know)
Push it over and over
Still never getting over
But this time was the last time
Was the last time
Was the last time
So who’s to say it’s even begun
How would I know?
I hold my hands onto the ground
(I hold my hands onto the ground)
And turn the world until the sun goes down
(Until the sun goes down)
Need somewhere to rest these bones
Will you help me push this stone?
I hold my hands onto the ground
(I hold my hands onto the ground)
And turn the world until the sun goes down
(Until the sun goes down)
It’s all I’ve ever known
There’s nowhere to rest these bones
(Would you help me push this)
Would you help me push this stone?

Did it start here?
Another long year
Take only what you need and leave the rest
There’s nothing more for you
Once we believed
Nothing would ever change
But now I see
It’ll never be the same
Head held a little bit higher
Eyes shine a little bit brighter
No place but right here beside her
Don’t oh no
They never knew till they watched you go
Now they’ll never see and you’ll never know
This town is taking its toll on you
There’s nothing I can do
The streets go dark as you dream away
I can barely see you, barely say
When you’re wild and free
Will you remember me?
Head held a little bit higher
Eyes shine a little bit brighter
No place but right here beside her
Don’t oh no
They never knew till they watched you go
Now they’ll never see and you’ll never know
I see you disappear
So far and fast away from here
Just take what you need and leave the rest
There’s no holding onto you
And I’ll tell them all that you’re not coming home
No, you're not coming home x4
Head held a little bit higher
Eyes shine a little bit brighter
No place but right here beside her
Don’t oh no
They never knew 'till they watched you go
Now they’ll never see and you’ll never know
They never knew
You'll never see x4
