The last great american dynasty
Epiphany

Illicit affairs
My tears ricochet
Mad Woman

Exile
The lakes
The 1
They say she was seen on occasion Pacing the rocks staring out at the midnight sea And in a feud with her neighbor
To kiss in cars and downtown bars Was all we needed You drew stars around my scars But now I'm bleedin'
Only 20 minutes to sleep But you dream of some epiphany Just one single glimpse of relief To make some sense of what you've seen
And I can go anywhere I want Anywhere I want, just not home And you can aim for my heart, go for blood But you would still miss me in your bones
And I've been meaning to tell you I think your house is haunted Your dad is always mad and that must be why And I think you should come live with me
I want auroras and sad prose I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet 'Cause I haven't moved in years
So step right out, there is no amount Of crying I can do for you All this time We always walked a very thin line
I persist and resist the temptation to ask you If one thing had been different Would everything be different today?
And they called off the circus Burned the disco down When they sent home the horses And the rodeo clowns I'm still on that tightrope
I'm takin' my time Takin' my time 'Cause you took everything from me Watchin' you climb Watchin' you climb Over people like me
And you wanna scream Don't call me "kid" Don't call me "baby" Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me You showed me colors you know I can't see
