lyrics

please trust me to make my decisions
leave them all to beg for less
slow talk and superstition
the night nests down low as can be
the stars crowd round just to see that

when you dream, you dream alone
if you dream, you dream alone as you say
(sleep steals away) to drink the cup
you give of yourself
(so blessed to) it stains your lips
the thirst never leaves you
it burns as a fever

fingers draw lines in red clay
track oil-filled steps for prey
black dogs do come runnin’
depart, lost to what you seek
the heart grasps at how to speak
this place was left to nature
to god you’re nothing but a stranger

travel won’t slow the hunt
the hands of time give no shelter
only ghosts, they come to meet you

when you dream, you dream alone
if you dream, you dream alone as you say
sleep steals away, so blessed to
(sleep steals away) to drink the cup
you give of yourself.
(so blessed to) it stains your lips
the thirst never leaves you
it burns as a fever

stay warm
eyes open
i feel as you--
so blessed to
