St. Jones Within

from Spaces Erases (fdm128) by Chris Anderson

/

lyrics

diamond eyes like a sweet lullaby
i'm on the run
i took a good man down
to see the wide open light
in the damp of the night
under the gun
we never made no sound

in the dim lit celebration
we all danced, we all decayed
it's all for fun
nothing more than revelations
in a trance, this time we made it
bless the sun

and take it in
st. jones within

passion wise on the fruit of the fly
sometimes it's fun
to see it all come down
to the back of the boil
where the tacks of our toil
tell us we're done
blow this old dirt town

in the face of mother instinct
all the while we skirt and scratch
behind our eyes
don't leap before you blink
just keep on smiling in the dirt
and bless the sky

and take it in
st. jones within






sometimes it's nothing but
a trance of fire from the war
inside our heads
but say we keep it shut
perhaps this elevating door
will keep us fed, oh yeah

blistered blues from the rumors to the news
i'm going blind
until it all plays out
lighthouse hues, they're all you need to know, it's true
to leave it behind
or take a brand new route

on the edge of what surrounds
it's like a captive in a cloud
that dissipates
they'll never look until it's found
then stamp it out and act so proud
just can't relate
underneath the baby blue
we all just scatter in our shoes
we're running late
soak it in, because it's true
ignore the daily demon news
and recreate

and take it in
st. jones within
