Stolid & Bruised EP

by Richard J Aarden

/
1.
My mind is littered with unwanted thoughts,
in my heart the remnants of feelings I’ve lost.
The nights that I spent out destroying myself,
now I let ‘em sneak in like a disease. Just to blow me away. I’m out of this storm keeping afloat So here I’m standing with nothing to say,
the person I’ve been is no longer to blame.
I’m now heading nowhere, far from what we were.
The most that I can do for you is to keep on lying, just to blow you away I’m out of this storm keeping afloat Can’t you see? The sun is shining.

Vagabond 02:55
There’s a big tree in the place we planted three seeds of pomegranate Roots have been growing deep Well I’m growing weary dear of picking up leaves this place never stayed this cold So let me come home how come we got this far? tell me love tell me love it’s your bluff that I’m calling now Cause I can still be ruthless if you want me to And you can still pretend to be this blind How come we got this far? how come we got this far? When we’re going nowhere at all So let me come home it’s time I come home

Oh the view from here is nothing you have seen
Yeah it feels so good but it seems so hard to understand
and I can’t blame you it’s okay if you prefer to stay there 
in that tidy nest with flowers on the bars go on sing along little sparrow in the cage
I can let you out if you say you’re not afraid And I wonder why we choose to choke our instinct
I wanna see you fly bird and leave the world behind
Cause I may look like a fool to fall like a do but at least I’m true
and I’m a dying breed that’s for sure go on sing along little sparrow in the cage
I can let you out if you say you’re not afraid
I won’t stop you if you want to fly away there’s no need to be afraid cause your love is safe with me
oh your love is safe with me
cause your love’d be safe with me
oh your love’d be safe with me

Salt on my wounds and I’m stoned, stolid and bruised hiding from you I wear out my guts deconstructing my sins and she’s waiting there for me I’m on the edge of passing out and she’s tangled up here under my sheets So knock me out, before I let you down Cause this is what I do best now Feels like running barefoot on shards and I can’t help but stumble Feels like crawling naked in snow And I can’t help but burn down when you’re not around here when you’re not around here when you’re not around here is it blood on my hands? have I murdered our love? Cause it’s blood on my hands so please get me out of here
5.
Down this mountain Down this path There’s a city where we can start all over once again Down this river there’s the hope to find the man I used to be to find this missing part of me You are all that it takes to put a smile on my face you are all that it takes to put some colors in this place If you feel like a snowflake if you feel like there’s no way out of here hang on don’t panic It’s gonna be alright if you’re right here next to me You are all that it takes to put a smile on my face you are all that it takes to put some colors in this place
