live versions.

a quick diversion to the fact that I have not finished recording the next song that will debut here.
last week I had the chance to try my two previous posts live and solo.
enjoy.

burning bridges, burning houses live

&

the drip live.

burning bridges/burning houses.

I watched and saw in a wretched awe

the single flame of a candle burn our house to the ground

we stood on the steps, our lives turned to wrecks 

as the neighbors asked about our health

looking into their eyes I saw the surprise

when I told them I saw this coming all along

two lost and lonely souls, spinning out of control

should never have turned to one another

but out of our despair  the smoke filled the air

the walls they crackled and they popped

though all our earthly things filled all its wings

hallways and picture frames reduced to ash and charred remains 

the only thing I took from the day, the only thing I heard you say

is when you whispered softly in my ear 'oh baby dear...

don't you tell me that our sparks didn't mean a thing, 

and don't you dare say, our flame has gone away.'

burning bridges/burning houses mp3.

the drip.

with a steady rain on a glaciers top

even largest of mountains reduce to a drop

a trickle at best down life's river deep

yet we pity the souls born to weep

destroying the landscapes of a better mans mind

searching for graves we have long left behind

like a mothers womb grows dark in time

she scours for the light that you lost in your eyes

so she prays to the angels and they play her a song
as she curses the road that I've taken all along

and she's vexing the highway though born of her blood

as the rain falls and I trudge through the mud
