Turtledove

You've been thinking for way too long
It makes no difference if you're right or wrong
Everything's true in a fit of rage
There's no living in the eye of the storm
I spoke four times of what I knew
You just spit it back, or what it meant to you
Everything's true in a fit of rage
There's no living in the eye of the storm
A reddening world and a loss of love
No more sightings of a turtledove
Nothing matters but the answers you can use to win
There's no miscommunication, it's just the world you're living in
An airplane taking me far away
Douglas firs and clouds of gray
A reddening world and a loss of love
No more sightings of a turtledove

The Yeti

There was a time when I first realized
that the trees were turning green
But I still saw snow on the rooftops,
blank white on everything
When will sunlight break the clouds
and this endless winter chill
I've read the forecast for days
and this snow won't stop
There was a time when I first gave up
and I found a friend in the yeti
So I learned from him, my master
and his frozen white confetti
When will sunlight break the clouds
and this endless winter chill
I've read the forecast for days
but this snow won't stop
I'm sick of these twisted lies driving me every day
It's the 17th of July but I'm still waiting for these warm rays
And I'm searching for the divine in these dark mountain caves
Eventually I'll find what I need to be saved
By my power and my will I will not be pushed away
I'm sledding downhill so I coast all the way
While my drive turns to thrill, I do what I say
I'm ready to kill and I am not afraid
When will sunlight break the clouds
and this endless winter chill
I've watched the TV for days
but this snow won't stop

Advice

Level-headed thinker,
you know not to scream
I'm a heavy drinker,
clawing at a dream
Misdirection haunts me
Lost without a map
Frightened of my bed, confusion in my head
and baggage to unwrap
I have never needed comfort
All you'll do is feed me lies
Something tells me I've gone under
but I don't need your advice
I've seen leaders guide themselves crazy
They have demons just like me
You can't change my mind, I see it all the time
I don't need help to be free
I have never needed comfort
All you'll do is feed me lies
Something tells me I've gone under
but I don't need your advice
Now that I see all of these signs
I can't understand why they would want to be
hidden behind curtains and blinds
hands on an assembly line
I'd rather be broken apart
searching for someone or something to poison my withering heart
Isn't it true that everyone in the end only believes in themselves
I don't need your advice

Daylight

Sun sets at 5 o'clock, stores closing early
I've been bitten by the winter bug
Nothing is memorable, there's no new stories
Everything happens today just like yesterday
Looking through pictures and I remember
There's a cold blanket the spring sun will
melt away the white and gray, there's no more
antifreeze, DVDs, 8 o'clock bedtimes
and the worst of times
The world ended months ago and I survive
What I wouldn't give for more daylight
The shared experience fades away
Michigan's seen some better days
We trudge through it anyway
Skidding on ice in our steel sleighs
The more I sleep, the more I sleep the less I rest
Patience put me to the test
The crushing feeling in my chest
I can't be, I won't be again depressed
There's no corner I can't hear this buzzing still
The truce of rain, the melted snow runs down the hill
It can storm as long as it won't freeze
As I drift softly asleep I can hear the breeze
Birds chirping happily, bathing in the sun
Congratulations on beating the winter freeze
Life worth living has just begun
