Sundry Demos lyrics

The Composer

a pounding of thunderous hearts
to remind you there's life in the dark
though she can't be seen
with you she will be
until the dawn brings forth a new start

the composer dreams precariously
and still will find reasons to sing
though she can't be heard
you know every word
pulsing within like waves of the sea

all faults will fall through cracks in time
as the slanted stars above align
though we live with regret
there is thunder in our chests
and a raging storm is composed of mine

 

Lavender Wine

lavender wine
the sun is up but things are not all right
wildflowers at my bedside
seen my colors run
'til half-past midnight
with the curtains drawn
I'll hide away
be momentarily gone

will you search for me
will you shelter me
will you

chicory eyes
the sun is down but in my dreams you're alive
the bitterness within my mind
had never seen real love until you
on whom I relied
but now the curtains are drawn
I can't find my way
but I know you're around

so will you search for me
will you shelter me
will you

falling now will I be caught by you
'cause fast asleep there is only you
and in my dreams you've found me too

 

Peak Season

in peak season
the sorrowers are sowing
the greens are endless growing
though night will come
just so will come the morning
all will sing those sanguine stories
of how the dark won't last too long
no the dark won't last too long

but in those cold gray months
the worriers are weeping
the wounded worn and weary
and though the sun comes up
nothing clears away the sorrow
nothing melts away the snow
how the nights go on and on
still the dark never lasts too long

spring will come soon
and deliver you from heartache
and prepare you for the harvest
yes your buds will bloom
so sorrower keep sowing
your greens are endless growing
though night will come
so then will come the morning
all will sing those sanguine stories
of how the dark won't last too long
no the dark won't last

Pretty Things

we collect pretty things
like the sea collects catastrophes
pearls and diamonds suffocate our hearts
'til we forget that we've ever been scarred
glass and silver embellish these halls
to cover up the writing on the walls

we collect tall trophies
like the earth collects old memories
chandeliers that hang above our heads
are shadowing the ghosts under our beds
silk and lace behind the closet door
will distract from the skeletons we've stored

we collect pretty things
and like the sea we collect catastrophes
yes we've all made our homes
amongst such delicacies
but in the end we will all die alone

 

Mississippi

maybe these hills could never set you right
or these evergreens grew too high
a life spent hidden in the shadows
is hardly a life at all I know
but wasn't I more than just a mirage
in the desert of your love

on that Friday you crossed the Mississippi
said goodbye a bird in the sky
here I will stay along the Mississippi
until you come home to me

maybe it's true I never came to mind
when you chose to leave it all behind
but of your life sister I wonder
were you ever struck with such sonder
and wasn't this riverbank more than enough
for the pasture of your love

on that Friday you crossed the Mississippi
said goodbye a bird in the sky
here I will stay along the Mississippi
until you come home to me

maybe one day the torrents will bring you back
noting how the time moves too fast
and every winter will come too soon
this time I pray your flowers will have bloomed

here I will stay along the Mississippi
until you come home to me
here I stay along the Mississippi
until you come home to me

 

Pennies in the Fountain

an acre in the city
the park where we met
under the big oak tree
you took my hand

pennies in the fountain
you longed for me
but the road of wanting
is crowded concrete

you said wandering these streets
never felt more like home
wandering these streets
never felt more like home

like flowers in the garden
you picked me
without ever knowing
what it is you'd need

and you said wandering these streets
never felt more like home
but these crowded streets
are all you had ever called home

penniless and hungry
I found you
but there wasn't really
too much I could do

you see only you can give
the validation you seek
only you can give
the validation you seek

Empty City

so you've found me in this dark
with my lack of valor and grace
you mustn't be alarmed
but don't you hold my heart with disdain

you've found me here below
all the morals I have grown to
but you have always known
I was meant for none other than doom
and my moment is coming soon

you must love me while you can
because soon will come my end
I need to hold your hand
in mine when the light has gone from the sky

mocking are the shadows
still that means there is light yet
really I can't be thrown
we each ready our own deaths

please dance with me while you can
because soon we'll reach the end
I need to hold your hand
in mine when the light has gone from the sky
your breath on my chest when the black is all that's left

I'll dream of always love
while I sleep on without hope

my heart in an empty city
like yours so full of smoke
leftover from tranquility
and dreams from which I never woke
 

I'll dream of always love
while I sleep on without hope

 

Disassembled

you said I could be greater
just brush off the dust
but my love I am a sinner
I am stiff with rust

floods wash everything away
but in the rain we learn to find home
because only sturdy stones remain
am I made of sturdy bones

can we mend the things
I've spent so long disassembling
will you always believe in me
can you see the day that I'll be clean

I suppose I could be stronger
but tidal waves pull me down
and I never realize 'til it's over
that because of me you've been tossed around

can we mend the things
I've spent so long disassembling
will you always believe in me
can you see the day that I'll be clean

can we mend these things
I'm just a broken thing
can we mend these things
we're just a broken thing

we can mend the things
I've spent so long rearranging
you will always believe in me
and I know one day that we'll be clean
