Source united, in tears divided.
I suffer this, for the chance to come home.
I still have a dream that comes true, but it's blue, Joni blue.
There's a light on, but a corner stone refused.
I will bend, but a friend you will never accuse.
Source united, city's quiet.
Across the flame, to make it back home.
In a safe house, echo canyon blues.
Then there's you, cut in two.
There's a light on, but a corner stone refused.
I will bend, but a friend you can never accuse.
You're the best of the west, and I'm scared because I miss you.
Done quietly, we could unfold.
But there's another, and I love her.
And I kill her, and I love.

Forest Song

Still searching, for the lock.
Ready I'm not scared, ready I'm not scared, but you're playing rough.
Hey boy, what are you running to?
Seven hearts, can't you find a way to choose?
Because there's a forest outside, and they're in there.
Steady on the ledge, the lower depths, the one that's lost.
Is there a way through the mist and blood, and subtle cuts?
Hey boy, what are you running to?
Seven hearts, can't you find a way to choose?
And I don't know how you voice across the moon.
Isn't it easier to open the door and step through?
But there's a forest outside, and they're in there.

Red King

All in all, guess it was a good year.
Until you stopped coming around.
It's the joker's road you've taken, and I fucked it all up.
And I know, and I know, there's little chance.
But it's true without you, there's the blackest night.
Hold on tight to the seed that's growing, because there's a Red King waiting in the back of your mind.
There's a Red King, blooded blade still shines.
And I know, and I know, there's little chance.
But it's true without you, there's the darkest night.
A lighter shade when the summer falls.
I'm a rich man.
You took a life and the secret fails.
I'm a rich man.
But your summer faded out.
All men fade out.

The Dance

You came in on a running start.
Thinking, how'd we get here?
But that past life is never around.
If I could even show it.
Now that we're back here, get on with it.
It's in that letter.
And you're nothing.
Princess undone, beauty queen, setting sun, backseat brewing.
They knew you were the only one, to get out of here, to be the beautiful one.
An angel to a son.
Now that we're back here, get on with it.
It's in that letter.
And you're nothing.
A silent shroud.
But when you dance, I can really love you.
Everything is want.
Everything is need.
Everything is want.
Everything is need.
A killer crept, while the city sleeps.
Behind battered doors, cartridges clean.
And still so let down.
Everything is want.
Everything is need.
The hunt descends, over misty peaks.
Under a starless sky, steal gleans.
And what you want, isn't what you need.
And still so let down.
