i'll lead the sheep through the fields through mountains, rivers over hills to where the grass is green where all sheep should be the destination's on the map but i can't seem to find the path and oh its hard to see the forest runs so deep a painted face through the dark an arrow pierces through the heart a warrior stands his ground but no war can be found the silly things we set in stone are tied around our flesh and bone and thrown into the sea oh how we sink but all the sheep have gone frightened by the words i spoke to them if this is the song i'll sing it till they all come home so please oh please so please just save me this love is in the air i think its only fair that you would be the one to hold me down or pick me off the ground i think you're all i need you are all I see

we all know how to love but do we know how to evolve someone told me of a plan where heart and soul will never part again my thoughts came leaking out i told em please oh dont you leave i need the noise to calm my heart this overbearing comfort though the night was cold, the wind was warm when the sun shines on we'll see the stars again when the sun shines on everythings gonna be alright yea when johnny lost his guns he prayed for all the battles he had won and would never fight when love is in your grasp dont be afraid to make the moment last before you lose it all and though the night was cold the wind was warm And i would really like to say I need you though i really can't stay with you
3.
you taught me everything i know how to kill and keep the beasts at home and through love you've cracked a million smiles but some have cracked and fallen to the ground When I say that I have everything everything I have you've given me and I though I could open my own doors but that just doesn't work out anymore so you found the best seat in the house as it crumbled down and the irony's too much to take it in you've thought about how it would all work out but you need somebody else to fight for you when all has fallen through don't we know its all been done so let the creatures run for with the measure that you use surely will be measured back to you so you found the best seat in the house as it crumbled down and the ironys too much to take it in and we dont need nobody else cuz we're fighting with ourselves to further prove the circles we travel through And when our dreams wake us from our sleep to yell and cry and scream for this love, this love then we've died

the moon has suddenly resumed its course and now is headed for the sun the earth i know will follow soon oh we might live a week or two and you know that we're all doomed Now I see every part of life and wouldn't you know that love was always left behind the sun will burn us all theres nothing we can do the earth will melt as we all see the truth now do you see how the darkness looms? cut your ears just to cut it through Well Malchus knows the truth i've been thinking of myself all this time i've been loving myself all this time all this time and thinking i'm alright now what did the good book say? just turn this town to dust or let it melt away to nothing the sun will burn us all there's nothing we can do the earth will melt as we all see the truth and everyone will say "I'm burning alive" no need to worry now your burning alive the merry goes round We'll save it for the final hour when everything is looking grey and that is just what we'll say though the earth may melt away though we may melt away i know our hearts can still be saved sing it with me now

step by step we march to wake the dead but at times i like to stop and rest the road was hard but it all fell apart and we were scattered through the fields of grain then it was split Cracked right through and down the middle no way to fix no way to mend and when you said you would leave us all for dead did you know that it would be your grave? though you want it all you found yourself in a hole and when you left I was just a boy then but now i know what is wrong we set off to find the ones we loved and we knew what it'd cost in this precious life we find the better part of our worst side brother you would send for me i know through the dark there's a gentle breeze in the grass brother you would send for me I know follow me down to the sacred path brother you would send for me i know brother you would send for me I know I would send for you

Suzy left the station on a sunday he decided he'd stay in town for a while but now that shes gone there's no place that feels warm and her heart beats restlessly the raindrops started falling in the distance and we all knew the day was done the place where we met is now a lemonade stand but it still holds some memories for me you thought a--bout how the world let you down its over now so just let it go she danced on the sunlight and fought in the rain it was a pretty good dance for the times way back when we had those stars in our head the beat was old but the time was new but we couldnt hold on much longer when this song was all that we knew well we couldn't hold on much longer when this song was all that we knew its hard to stay up off the ground when your heart is an anchor that holds i'll never forget all the feelings i left at the station at the station at the station and we all know how the story goes she left this town and his heart left his soul we danced on the sunlight and fought in the rain it was a pretty good dance for the times it was a pretty good dance for the times it was a pretty good dance for the times i finally got a chance to say everything i wanted to sayb but its too late its too late to cry its too late its too late to cry

Soon you will begin to see how this sleeping giant was never really meant to rest and only one can fill the space where he slept this confidence stems from a part of me that suffers from a lack of experience and this is why i'll never learn uncertain things i've tried to find but theres no perfect place to start and when i find this white dove i'm gonna let it fly free so maybe it might come back in the meantime i'll be watching from the darkest places i know all the so called untamed running wild and somewhere in a place thats unclear theres a dreamer who hides saying all the same lines you have been saying for years and your worst fear is the she's waking curse all these signs that i read they're blurry and out of focus their message i desperately try to heed so please stay with me so please dont you leave the music plays on and on the circumstance was perfect if ironies your song and we all know how it feels to be a house and not a home

Its the same same old thing that we do to you when you want want it all well we'll give it all to you there's just one more thing its so sad to say you wanted nothing to change it's so easy to hide i'll tell ya I could use a hand to hold But there's just one more thing there's just one more thing I wanna sleep in this hole and never move on frolic in the fields as they burn and in time we'll find the place thats right and all who have this fire will burn The ship is sinkin slow but my heart will beat once more for all the things i've tried to ignore if we could see past the sun oh would you be the one that we were waiting for? you gotta know when you're getting closer to me cuz you'll see my pretty face in every little thing you gotta know when you're getting closer to me when everything is wrong and i've been waiting for so long There's just one more thing i needed to say I wanna sleep in this whole and never move on frolic in the fields as they burn well it was once said to me that place had such a hold on me and i must say that its not the place to be

about

“Muddle In Your Bones” is an album grown from the confusion that we all face in everyday life. We constantly ask ourselves questions like: what is the meaning of life? What am I going to eat for breakfast? Who are the Kardashians? Why couldn’t Steve Jobs create an app that cured him of his illness? In the process of finding the answers, we find more questions. Then when we find the answers to those questions, we discover answers to questions that we haven’t even asked. Searching for the questions to these answers, leads us to question our quest for the questioning which in turn creates answers to past questions that we forgot about. Then, when we are finally able to answer the questions that we originally quested for, we realize that we forgot what the original question actually was. In the end, there will always be more questions than answers, more milk than cereal, more salsa than chips, or more chips than salsa. To quote the late Gecellamo Jacobs: “When love is in your grasp, don’t be afraid to make the moment last”.
