Well the eyes are not for cryin If the heart can be untrue It betrays the beating body And it leaves me standing blue And it’s a hard thing to fall And a long ride enthralled Is it really too much for you to call? Im tired, so tired of sleeping alone Ba ba ba ba ba Well I fear im on the edge And I don’t know what to do See I only wanted one girl But I fell in love with two And it’s a hard thing to fall And a long ride enthralled Is it really too much for you to call? Im tired, so tired of sleeping alone Ba ba ba ba ba And now im so blue Id do anything to get back home to you And I know that it seems wrong But if you give me a chance To make it up to you Ba ba ba ba ba

I love you my sweetheart girl Sweetest darling in the world I miss you here I miss you near I miss your kiss and I miss your fears I miss your smile I miss your touch I miss your love and I miss you much I love you my sweetheart girl And I cursed that the sky would allow this As I laughed at the wind as it swirled I love you my sweetheart girl Sweetest darling in the world I miss you here I miss you near I miss your kiss and I miss your fears I miss your smile I miss your touch I miss your love and I miss you much But I can taste upon the vine The fruit has spoiled a fancy fine Upon a truth I once had heard I left my love to wipe the taste away And the waves came crashing through our homestead As the wind, it broke apart the stone I love you my sweetheart girl Sweetest darling in the world I miss you hear I miss you near I miss your kiss and I miss your fears I miss your smile I miss your touch I miss your love and I miss you much I love you my sweetheart girl

Now I say to you my darling one Im just a child That lives inside the things I hoped id find But yesterdays a word Id throw away in hopes of meeting The life I try to lead inside my mind Ooh sun child, Im begging you that if you choose to go Give me back the heart I used to know When I was a boy so long ago before the aching Of things that serve to pull a body down I dreamed of being free and finding love inside the darkness The love you tried so hard to throw around Ooh sun child, Im begging you that if you choose to go Give me back the heart I used to know Now Im growing old inside my skin but im still standing Upon the walls ive built to hide my eyes But every word you breathe in fits of anger only serve you To rattle all the ones that made you kind Ooh sun child, Im begging you that if you choose to go Give me back the heart I used to know

Oh my sweet angeline, tell me where have you been? Mouth of bloody silver, words awash with sin Tell me how youre living And will you marry him? You were my friend when I needed you most How can I be one to you? Can I take on the fear that has swallowed your ghost? Can I split your tongue back in two? Oh my sweet angeline, tell me how can you stand On wooden legs to bowed too mend with earthly tools of twine? Tell me how you’re breathing And are your lungs still clean? You were my friend when I needed you most How can I be one to you? Can I take on the fear that has swallowed your ghost? Can I split your tongue back in two? Oh my sweet angeline, tell me how have you been? Mouth of bloody silver, words awash with sin

Baby I’ve been blue, Most every night over you. But, I’m not so sure why I should give a damn. You had my heart, And my piece of mind. Baby I thought somehow we could last. Now what am I supposed to do? What am I to say to you? Cos im lonely, lonely, lonely without you. I know I’m on my own, To deal with this aching alone. Maybe Ill find me a nice little hole in the ground. But I see you everywhere, In everyone I meet. But, I know not matter how hard I try that they ain’t you. Now what am I supposed to do? What am I to say to you? Cos im lonely, lonely, lonely without you. I think that ill go home, Leaving this pain all alone. Leave this cold world to figure it all out when Im gone. And I’m never, never, never gonna leave you. No, I’m never never never gonna leave you baby. No, I’m never never never gonna leave you. Oh no! No, I’m never gonna leave No, I’m never gonna leave No, I’m never gonna leave No, I’m never gonna leave you alone.

Lady 03:11
As I walked along, on the railroad line You said that you’re feeling, you’re feeling fine But it’s been such a long time lady I gave you my hand, and I said with a smile That I’d been out walkin’ for many a mile But I know it’s time to take a rest Well I could hold you in my arms If forever was a day Oh I could keep you safe from harm pretty darling As long as you don’t walk away The love that you give me is making me whole You gave me shelter from out of the cold And I won’t forget the kindness that you’ve shown Well I could hold you in my arms If forever was a day Oh I could keep you safe from harm pretty darling As long as you don’t walk away Oh I can hear it on a windy day How all of my sorrow used to take me away What a waste of the time that I once knew Well I could hold you in my arms If forever was a day Oh I could keep you safe from harm pretty darling As long as you don’t walk away

Mama Rag 03:55
Mama you’ve done me wrong I knew it all along And I pray for God’s forgiveness every day I wish you would quit your lowdown ways Darlin’ it’s been so long Since I felt your loving arms How could I have been such a foolish man. So I’m drinking to my sins once again But I won’t cry and I won’t moan You know it ain’t the first time I’ve been left all alone I don’t need your foolin. Bye bye. I found another who’d take the time to try Mama I think I’m sick I need a doctor come here quick I’m seeing two of all the things I’ve learned to hate So hurry to my bedside and don’t be late But I won’t cry and I won’t moan You know it ain’t the first time I’ve been left all alone I don’t need your foolin’. Bye bye. I found another who’d take the time to try Mama you’ve done me wrong I knew it all along But I pray for God’s forgiveness every day And I wish you would quit your lowdown ways But I won’t cry and I won’t moan You know it ain’t the first time I’ve been left all alone I don’t need your foolin. Bye bye. I found another who’d take the time to try

Angeline 03:18
I left my home when I was thirteen And I never looked back again. Oh oh, pretty Angeline. Hungry and cold when I knocked on your door For a place to rest and to warm my bones. Oh oh, pretty Angeline. How long how long since I’ve seen your face? Since I was a younger man. So good it would be to see you once again. You told me your story and opened your door. How could I have asked for more? Oh oh, pretty Angeline. A darling of moonlite and a queen of lace Gracefully holding back all your tears. Oh oh, pretty Angeline. How long how long since I’ve seen your face? Since I was a younger man. So good it would be to see you once again. I still can recall when the leaves start to fall The innocence of all we once were. Oh oh, pretty Angeline . How long how long since I’ve seen your face? Since I was a younger man. So good it would be to see you once again.

Well I stepped out to the streets of glory In my hometown where she’s laid to rest The wind was howling the streets were empty Except for me Ten years gone by since I was a young kid I aint been back here no reason to be But I stand here and beg forgiveness From my sweet lord I hope I see her when I get to the gates of golden solitude Solitude Last night I dreamt in a place so lonesome I was thirteen in the house I lived in When the angels took her from me Far too soon In a doe-eyed dream I found the one who Gave life too me she gave her own Wish her blessing I said goodbye And she was gone I hope I see her when I get to the gates of golden solitude Solitude I awoke then in an empty cabin Where my thoughts had been before me But the strangest thing that happened Was a smile I hope I see her when I get to the gates of golden solitude Solitude

Oh Lover 03:06
Oh lover wont you take me down To somewhere I want to be Cos ive been so lost and lonely Licking at my wounds with shattered teeth Oh lover wont you take my hand Cos I really want to understand The way that lives are lost and found again Among the words that lovers breathe Mmm mmm mmm Oh lover wont you ease my mind From all the things I gotta do The words that rattle to my bones To strike me blind and never speak again Mmm mmm mmm Oh lover wont you sing a song The one that helps me fall asleep Dreams have been my own salvation To keep me from the world beneath my feet Mmm mmm mmm

Waterside #2 04:26
I’ll choke the night and I’ll hold the rain A few more hours till you come back to me Secured in paths of the burned and blackened bone I’ve kept my vices in a tomb of stone The streets decay neath the winter’s frozen plain My plight is yours alone to hold Was I the one who cast a broken stone I’ll walk with you as the north wind folds --------- and if the dark has breached the gap I’ll meet you by the waterside -------- In my silence I will burn the curtains guard Its been draped upon my tunneled sight I’ll wear my scars in the songs that I sing To guide you back on home to me -------- and if the dark has breached the gap I’ll meet you by the waterside -------- If my arms should fail to keep me afloat I will dive down and grip the earth I will dig a hole through the molten sands of time To find my way back home to you -------- and if the dark has breached the gap I’ll meet you by the waterside If the dark has breached the gap I’ll meet you by the waterside

Well you can do what you want and you can say what you say See I don’t really care that much about you anyway You’re just losing your pride when mama im on the line You think its clever to tell me that you’ve been feeling fine “I feel fine, im alright, im ok” I guess theres nothing left for me to say But ill say it. Don’t waste my time on this line Don’t waste my time on this line Ill be traveling on with the morning sun Im better off by myself, you care too much for your health And you’re too dumb to know that I take only what I need And know that need is not want Are you the chase or the hunt Now go back to your room and figure out where you belong You’ll be fine, you’re alright, you’re ok You never cared about me all that much in the end I guess anyway But you will Don’t waste my time on this line Don’t waste my time on this line Ill be traveling on with the morning sun Well you can do what you want and you can say what you say See I don’t really care that much about you anyway You’re just losing your pride when mama I’m on the line You think its clever to tell me that you’ve been feeling fine “I feel fine, I’m alright, I’m ok” I guess theres nothing left for me to say But ill say it.

You do not belong here, no you were not born to die But I am not your soldier, no I did not come here to fight Ive seen the men that you’ve left in your wake And the faces you’ve turned into stone As the gallows of valor remind you that your still alone You have all the angels and I have my cigarettes For nights I spending in my mourning of shallow and sad regret Someday you’ll find when your wreck takes its toll And the ones you have turned turn away You’ll see it was me who was there all along on the way Oh but you would cast me out to the straights of this life Remorse is a word I learned from our sins And I cant keep up this racing pulse anyhow So I guess that I will be headed back out with the sun Now I see by the dawning that this is my time to go My feet seem firmly planted among ones that have gone there before So please kiss the children if I don’t return From the paths of our anguish and lies Tell them that I will be there all along anyway

Blue 02:23
Blue is the rain that falls upon my head Blue is the bird that sleeps upon my bed Blue was her blood the day the dead did make But blue is a feeling that I cant shake White was the dress she wore to lay me down White was the sign that took me from that town White was her hair when the sun shined strong and broke And white is the light from which I cant hide Black was the night that took me from my home Black is the sound I hear when Im alone Black is the soil on which my legs do roam And Black was the ink that pierced me to my bones.

To the End 09:49
Someday you’ll find, when you’re left alone and you’re left behind And fears left your side, that you cannot run and you cannot hide And I will be there, my ghost on your face Too cold to stay, for long in one place With a death so deserving and a rose in my teeth Ive given my all, every ounce that I am to be lost in the fall And ill rise from my skin, with a kiss to the end and a way to begin But you’d take it all, and you’d walk away You’re selfish white teeth, and a debt left to pay But I don’t believe, in who you must be And you hold your disgrace, too close to see so you can save face Your face in the sun, shining like jewels from the things that you’ve done Know I loved you then, with all that I had You threw it away, like an old fashioned fad But I cannot wait, with the sun on the rise I wish I could be, something less honest and living in peace But truth is my skin, its all that I have and all that I see Ive got songs to sing, like the gifts that they bring To a baby in waiting, in a manger of wings But all that you are, is all you’ll allow And you’ve been a fool, your words have been "binded" to all of your rules You’re bleeding heart hope, built from pages of your magazines And I don’t know how, you know how to breathe With lungs that deceive you, still heavy from drink How can I believe, the things that you’ve told But maybe its me, my blood starts to boil when I am set free With all of your charm, I dreamed of a love to keep us from harm It’s a world full of pain, they’d wash down the drains No cure to the problems, that rattle our brains Im amazed at the way we keep up the pace Someday you’ll see, its all that you’ve been and all that you’ll be A lonely lost girl, too scared to move or live in this world And then you will know, just how ive become So tired in youth, and then it is done I hope that you’re love will meet with your truth

about

"Volume 2 : If the Dark Has Breached the Gap" was the second half of a double album. Recorded at the same time as "Volume 1", it was meant to follow that album, but was never released due to obligations to other projects at the time. This version has been edited down to the most complete version of what it was intended to be.

There is no official artwork for Volume 2.
Feel free to be creative and make your own.

Volume 2 was intended to be released in the year following the release of Volume 1. As a result, the date of 01.01.09 has been estimated to approximate that timeline.

released April 22, 2009
