Brother's eyes You're my favourite mirror You put me on a throne If I divide in two you'll see one side Repeats in tangled letters That spell your skin and bones Brothers climb Ragged on the ascent And soft on the decline Show the thrower how his feet decide Like arrows on the front lawn They guide you every night Backseat fists and baseball gloves There's a stutter in my wrist but my eyes say what I'm thinking of And you read them like you're fluent now Riding high On the plaster footprints That stalk the dresser drawer They'll walk the laundry folds like skin before While pressing feet meander And stumble out the door Backseat fists and baseball gloves There's a stutter in my wrist but my eyes say what I'm thinking of And you read them like you're fluent now Backseat fists and baseball gloves There's a stutter in my wrist but my eyes say what I'm thinking of And you read them like you're fluent now

Haven't got a job or a penny to my name I'm sewing up the holes in the rags that we call clothes Not a single crumb we spent that money getting drunk To keep our spirits up To forget the dreams that didn't come to pass The memories of better days long gone Even the better ones yet to come Broke and Drunk We don't care about riches We don't care about the fame All we want to do is go on tour with our tunes But how will we ever get our music off the ground When the city keeps shutting all the places we play down Even if we had a stage nobody'd be there anyway They're tuckered out from the 9 to 5 They watch cable and drink box wine To forget the dreams that didn't come to pass The memories of better days long gone Even the better ones yet to come Broke and Drunk Still I hold a hope I'll see my name in the marquee And I'll get paid to play my song on late night TV And we'll move from this apartment to the turrett down the street We'll throw a huge party To the dreams that finally have come to pass The memories of harder days long gone To how far we have come From broke and drunk

Walking backwards Through the shrapnel Of this life A thousand days Will quickly pass A thousand ways My love for you Blue Flower I woke up smelling smoke Lights exploding Any notion Of yesterday My mind’s in a million places Places daylight erases Well before this all just turns to salt Before the angel’s flames bloom…. Blue Flower

When the fever broke I saw you, saw you standin' there Had you been there all along? Said I'd been gone for days, just ramblin' At times not makin' sense Things I should not have said And you looked like you'd seen a ghost but you were lookin' right at me And if truth is a moving target Looks different from all sides Where's the ground I can put my feet on to keep it in my sight? All the townsfolk with their whisperin' These voices in my head Tellin' me lies again Said you'd be headin' south for winter Maybe be gone for good Like I knew you would And just because it was my voice don't mean I had a choice And if truth is a moving target Looks different from all sides Where's the ground I can put my feet on to keep it in my sight? And as you turned around to go All I wanted you to know Loved you better than myself Maybe that's where I failed And if truth is a moving target Looks different from all sides Where's the ground I can put my feet on to keep it in my sight? And if truth is a moving target Looks different from all sides Gimme ground I can put my feet on to keep it in my sight
