Screaming Trees Tribute EP

 Nearly Lost You

Did you hear the distant cry calling me back to my sin
Like the one you knew before calling me back once again
I nearly lost you there and it's taken us somewhere
I nearly lost you there let's try to sleep now

Drag me far enough to know I'm blind every mile that you burn
There's a rider that's fallen and it's clear there's no time to return
I nearly lost you there and it's taken us somewhere
I nearly lost you there let's try to sleep now

Did you hear the distant lie calling me back to my sin
Like the one you knew before calling me back once again
I nearly lost you there and it's taken us somewhere
I nearly lost you there well let's try to sleep now

You Tell Me All These Things

Well you're the only key the one that's deep inside of me
Late at night in the pale of fright I wake up only to turn on the light
You tell me all these things in the desperate creeping night
You tell me all these things while the darkness hides the light

Seventeen colours on the back of the wall I run out the door and into the hall
You know I've never seen your face before but there you are when you open the door
You tell me all these things in the desperate creeping night
You tell me all these things while the darkness hides the light

Gonna turn the only key now that's the one thing that I need
Late at night looking at the sky and I see the things you say I'm not
You tell me all these things in the desperate creeping night
You tell me all these things while the darkness hides the light

Girl Behind The Mask

Well clouds and I see a shape pretty girl through the night and day
Run around fast away I pass the shadows where I stay
Long, long hair and I'm not there and when the wind dissolves the clouds
The street light girl is the only witness
The girl behind the mask she's the one who never has to ask

With magic pouring from her eyes there's nothing she can't recognise
Makes me want to understand makes me feel like melting black
When your the last flash and time stands still
I ask what if all I could recall had never been in the dream that she could see
Girl behind the mask she's the one who never has to ask

She reaches through your disguise it's too late you never realised and I never realised
Up the stairs a picture's waiting in my room she might be waiting
We're baptised still getting blind in the darkness
If I get back to her I'd walk away into the forest
And then I'm thinking where can I go Lord
Girl behind the mask is the one who never has to ask
She's reaching through your disguise
It's too late you never realised, you never realised

Invisible Lantern

Locked in this darkened room, a timeless view shall I not ponder everything inside
Can't escape my mind I just let the shadow rot through my soul
But I got illumination on the street
Just a flash of confusion when we meet
My invisible lantern, it's my invisible lantern

Anxious echoes seal the door shoes on the floor kicking in my eye
To all my friends I'm crazy and I'm shut away they don't care about anything I say
So I took my illumination into the street
Just a flash of confusion when we meet
My invisible lantern, it's my invisible lantern

The heavy warm lights shade me from the thoughts that try to creep in my consciousness
Transparent wheels always make me feel like I've never been in the right dimension
The girl I've been seeking through all these dreams
Dissolves with a touch because nothing's left to see
I imagine myself outside with you
And there everyone's whispering only what's true
That I got illumination on the street
Just a flash of confusion when we meet
My invisible lantern, it's my invisible lantern
My invisible lantern, my invisible lantern

Where The Twain Shall Meet

Alright now push against the wooden table a sliver cut and no trace of pain
I lose it's image as it blurs away I feel the rope as it slowly frays
You never know where the twain shall meet you never know which one stays
Keep aware of the trap that snares which one stays

Statue people move like dripping water hit's a nail into the cracking ice
I sleep with thoughts of the coming day I drag behind on a frozen chain
You never know where the twain shall meet you never know which one stays
Keep aware of the trap that snares which one stays

So I'm down but I don't know what way I'm going
So very long and it doesn't matter where this has gone
Slide a coin into the magic light machine watch a story that is never free
Takes it toll on you, energy-wise keeps you alone nearly all the time
You never know where the twain shall meet you never know which one stays
Keep aware of the trap that snares which one stays

Halo Of Ashes

She wears a halo of ashes spectre of the wind
Waits on me so patiently I no longer can pretend
Sky lies a thousand miles below stars shine and the moon is clear
Nothing and for no one won't see me if you're here
I've been a long, long time away
Got one foot in the grave
Glorified in the dying of the sun

My angel pulls me closer as my poison she crawls through
Walks with me so silently I no longer can refuse
Tomorrow I'm a thousand miles behind stars shine and the moon below
Wake me where you find me pretend you don't know
I've been a long, long time away
With one foot in the grave
Glorified in the dying of the sun

She wears a halo of ashes spectre of the wind
Waits on me so patiently I no longer can pretend
Tomorrow I'm a thousand miles behind face painted in the moon below
Wake me where you find me pretend you don't know
I've been a long, long time away
With one foot in the grave
Glorified in the dying of the sun
