Empty Bones

She rode a pale horse named death in her life, she was a hoarder of pain
She upped and left me for the hundredth time but never sealed our fate
I could not see past the mask she'd polished so true
On the outside, looking in, her empty eyes askew
I went on thinkin' that I could change her mind, but that was so untrue
And the wounds astray from her past started bleeding through
She walked a broad, and broadening path right in her own demise
Never aligned for her soul had died yet she fed like a vampire on mine
Like an odd tree just a-burnin' in the wind
The embers fall from her empty bones and I'm on an endless whim
A single birch just a-standin' alone with it's roots
On the other side of the woods
And when she came to realize her fate was sealed in stone
Her empty shell needing a different hope she betrayed her own
She searched in vain for a soul that could be her home
Never to find a sadder truth than to know that there's no one home
And I cried in the moonlight as the mask began to fade
Wishing that those roots would find themselves in a better place
But no, it was all just a game and my hand was dealt
And the cards may have seemed a little strange but I guess I won in the end
Like an odd tree just a-blowin' in the wind
The embers fall from her empty soul and I'm on that endless whim
That single birch standin' alone with it's roots
On the other side of the woods
And when I look at myself in reflections of a past with you
Never again will I extend my roots to a rootless birch like you
I look upon the sweet rivers and the valleys and I see this is my home
And one day I'll find these roots which well I, well I can call my own
And still that odd tree'll be a-burnin' in the wind
The embers fall from her empty bones and I'm goin' for a swim
A single birch, just a-standin' alone with it's roots
On the other side of the woods

Ain't For Good

I see your face every time I'm cryin', and every time that you see it through
And all the heartbreak that you brought with you, and all the things that you would do
You made me cry, you made me feel like I should die
And nothin' made sense to me when you'd paint me colours
And I can't forgive you
You were a black hole and I, like the faintest star
A travelin' memory of a distant past
And I, I was swallowed by your pride
Everything you did, there was a reason behind
It weren't for good, weren't for good
And you ain't no good for me
I hear you voice every time I dream, you made me feel so good inside
But your kindest words, they were only illusion
The mask you put on when you felt like cryin'
Your heart and soul they were not connected, you're missin' something deep inside
And your inner child, comatose in the cold
Lost, and beaten and battered, and you're growin' old
No it ain't for good, ain't for good
And you, no you ain't no good for me
No you ain't no good, and it ain't no good
And you, no you ain't no good for me
And when I walk these streets at night I think of you, and the times we shared
I think of the good things and I think of the bad
I think of the abuse, and all the things that you said
I think of last winter, and was it all me?
And then I realize that you're just the odd tree
Still a-blowin' in the wind biding time, ever-reaching outwards
In your feeble mind as the narcissist grows in your soul
Yeah and there's a reason in your mind
There ain't no good intentions hiding behind
You wore the mask and you polished it so
And now noone'll ever know if you're a friend or foe
I saw your face slipping through the cracks
And now no wild child inside me could ever bring me back
And I'm seemingly wonderin' now and all my friends
Ho could she do this to you? You're only a man
Oh my God am I?
Oh my God am I?
Am I a good man? Am I a good man?
Oh my gosh am I a good man
Am I a good man
Am I a good man

Hellbound

Well I can't sleep cause I know that she's there
Oh I won't go back there
I see my face in the mirror of the mind
And I've got troubles oh Lord I've got mine
She came to me as a Jezebel demon in my dreams
Her spirit stands there in her long and blackened gown
She hails in that evil that dragged me down
And to look into her eye, I see she's Hellbound
She comes to me a harlot the Devil's own
And she once was a true love of mine
Yet I will not waver in my choice til' the end of time
Well I will not waver, resolution is in my mind
She comes to me when the full moon will rise
She harks to the world from whence her evil came
That curse in the woods from whence that evil'd grown
Come forth the demons' ride until Hell on Devil's hounds
And still she trots through those woods, on a black horse she rides
Her hair is on fire, and her hands are bare bone
Flesh and blood she has nigh, for her breath it is death
And I ruse unwaverin', for I'd be Hellbound

The Devil She Knows

Well here's a story about a woman I knew
She sold her soul to the Devil it's true
Well every day she'd see that I was well fed
And in the evenin' she'd take me to bed
She made me happy, she made me smile
Then we'd get high and go for a drive
She'd say I love you well you're my man
Little did I know that she'd kick me like a can
Well baby you know that it's true, you make it easy fallin' outta love with you
Well baby don't be unkind, don't you see that you're killin' me inside
Well baby I won't be untrue when I say that I'm leavin' you too
Well baby you reap what you sow, when you're sleepin' with the Devil you know
Then she was gone, just like that
No problem leavin' at the drop of a hat
Well I know that she's onto the next
It takes her no time at all to confess
Well I see her walkin' around with other guys
Well it ain't to me no surprise
Well hey man, don't be no fool
Cause maybe next she'll fall in love with you
Well baby don't be shy, well I see that you're with some other guy
Well baby don't be cruel, when someone new falls in love with you
Cause baby you're so unkind, you really think it'll be different this time
Well baby you reap what you sow, when you're sleepin' with the Devil you know
Well alright
Well baby don't be shy, can't you see that you're killin' me inside
Well baby you know that it's true, you make it easy fallin' outta love with you
Well baby I can see it your eyes, you're lookin' for gold but you ain't got a mine
Well baby you reap what you sow, cause you're sleepin' with the Devil you know
