Arrows

The Lonely Forest Arrows Lyrics
1.Arrows

This is why you don't feed the animals
That live inside my head
This is why you don't encourage me
Mingling with the dead

I won't remove guards from my wall
I won't shed my outer shell
And expose my heart
I'll die long before you get to me

And dark and dismal was my song
But I will never again sing along
I swear I've been cowardly for quite some time
Now this melancholy boy is gonna shine

Let's go, arrows out
I'm gonna go
Let's go, gonna go arrows out

And when it gets dark
Sometimes my heart leads me
Into the woods
There I drink a sinister mead
That drives away the good

I'm gonna go arrows out


2.Be Everything

Sitting with him on the rocks
He'd been my strongest support, the arms that I'd run to
But I knew sooner or later
It'd come to the point when the truth would snake its way out

And I will always look up to him
Together we share our father's sin
I am afraid of myself and the darkness
That's rising inside of my heart

I hope I can trust you
I know I can't trust myself
Open my eyes, remove anything in the way
Please be all I need, be everything

Walking away from the water
I felt that a weight had been lifted, you shown through the
clouds
And one day when I have a boy
And I can't keep this from him, his father's sin

Oh, I will try and trust you
Because I know I can't trust myself
Open my eyes, remove anything in the way
Please be all I need, be everything
Be everything, be everything


3.Coyote

Lyricist:Robert Krueger, Anthony Ruland, Eric Sturgeon, John Van
Deusen

Get up, listen to the coyotes howl
Why do they sound so menacing?
Do they know what I did last night?
Doesn't my sin seem interesting?
Doesn't my sin seem interesting?

I wish you'd come back home
I want to hold your hand
I wish you'd come back home
I want to hold your hand

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Get up, listen to the coyotes howl
Why do they sound so menacing?
Do they know what I did last night?
And does my sin seem interesting?

I wish you'd come back home
I want to hold your hand
I wish you'd come back home
I want to hold your hand

It will be alright
It will be alright
It will be alright
It will be alright


4.End It Now!

What if I swallowed all these pills at once?
What if I'd never been born?
What if Germany had won the war?
Maybe this plane is destined to crash
The pilot's perfect smile a wreck on the dash

Is there an end? Is there an end?
Where are you?
Is there an end? Is there an end?
I'm leaving it up to the skies

Is there an end? Is there an end?
Where are you?
Is there an end? Is there an end?
Is there an end? Is there an end?

I've found the list of questions goes on, I think I might as
well stop
Or I'll be questioning unanswerables till I drop
The scientist must lead a miserable life studying gravity and
infinite space
How much can one linear mind really know?

Is there an end? Is there an end?
Where are you?
Is there an end? Is there an end?
I'm leaving it up to the skies

Is there an end? Is there an end?
Where are you?
Is there an end? Is there an end?
Is there an end? Is there an end?

Ah, ah, ah

End it now, end it now
End it now, end it now
End it now, end it now
End it now, end it now


5.(I Am) The Love Addict

Just when I thought I had nothing
Nothing good to give
You appeared, won my heart
And showed me I must die to live

Take my pride
Please remove these selfish thoughts
Save me from the world
I wanna be addicted to love
I wanna be addicted to love

A line of white is all my body really needs
The spirit sold for the lain to ease
But I know that this road
It isn't going to bring me peace

Give me something new for my soul to use
Something beautiful for my heart to abuse
The drugs are never enough

I wanna be addicted to love
I wanna be addicted to love
I wanna be addicted

Why are we so loveless?
I'm worried, please hurry
And why are we so loveless?
I'm worried, please take me home

I wanna be addicted to love
I wanna be addicted to love
(I want to be)
I wanna be addicted to love
(I want to be)

I wanna be addicted to love
(I want to be)
I wanna be addicted to love
(I want to be)

I wanna be addicted to love
(I want to be)
I wanna be addicted to love
(I want to be)

I wanna be addicted to love
(I want to be)
I wanna be addicted to love
(I want to be)

I want to be addicted to love
(Oh, oh, oh)


6.(I Am) The Love Skeptic

He sees a bird, she sees a complex pattern
He sees in lust, she tries to seed love
You hear the song, I feel it deep within my heart
Just chemical, animal sound

Only in the dreams can we perceive reality
And fiction became too, too good of friends
And the bullshit, it never ends, it never ends

Just let 'em speak
He's got a good point brother
Can't you be close and disagree
Ever

Only in the dreams can we perceive reality
And fiction became too, too good of friends
And the bullshit, it never ends, it never ends

Became too good of friends
And the bullshit, it never ends, it never ends

Let go

In the dreams can we perceive reality
And fiction became

In the dreams can we perceive reality
And fiction became too, too good of friends
And the bullshit, it never ends
Became too good of friends
And the bullshit, it never ends


7.I Don't Want To Live There

L.A., you made me think
Too much gold and you sink
I don't want to live there, buy there
Or e'en die there
I don't want to live there, buy there
Or e'en die there

Nashville, you're much too safe
Quit weighing the pros and cons
Just create
I don't want to live there, buy there
Or e'en die there
I don't want to live there, buy there
Or e'en die there

Give to me miles of tall evergreens
And the smell of the ocean
And cool mountain breeze
Won't you please?

33rd's singing to me
Birds offer up perfect melody
I just want to live here, love here
And die here
I just want to live here, love here
And die here

Give to me miles of tall evergreens
And the smell of the ocean
And cool mountain breeze
Won't you please?

Hey hey (repeated)


8.Tunnels

Up, down, tunnels underground
It's your to fight off
Up, down, tunnels underground
Its your fight off

You dig lies to get around
Obvious contradictions, childish self-affliction
Up down tunnels underground
Now it's yours to fight off

Up, down, tunnels underground
He was a spy lurking around
In an attempt to save you
I was the dove to warn you

Up, down, tunnels underground
Now it's yours to fight off
Now he's yours to fight off

My heart is a room in a ramshackle house
Where the shades have been drawn
And the scenery is gone
Where is the sun? My body's cold

Occasionally visitors come
And they knock
Trying to see if someone is inside
I try to speak but no one's there


9.Turn Off This Song And Go Outside

And welcome to my heart and soul
Miserable excuse
But tell the world of all the pain I've caused
I hope you don't forget these songs

And though I'm young life's been short
I'm only twenty-one
I feel as though we can relate on some
Of these words I've written down

So turn off, turn off this song
Find someone to love
Turn off this song
You can listen to it later
And go outside

And guys in bands
With vintage shirts and hundred dollar pants
Often think we do what no one can
We see ourselves above the rest

When faced with truth
I realize there is nothing I can do
Amount of talent or gift to bring
That is greater than the orphan song she sings yeah

Turn off, turn off this song
Find someone to love
Turn off this song
You can listen to it later
And go outside

Yeah you turn off, turn off this song
Find someone to love
Turn off this song
You can listen to it later
And go outside
And go outside
And go outside
And go outside


10.Two Notes And A Beat

All I really need are two notes and a beat

Oh last night I dreamt a magnificent thing
I held you close I heard you sing
Your voice was what I'd always wanted in a woman
I know you say he's good to you and I'm sure he is
But darling he's all you'll ever know
Unless you trust your heart and let yourself grow

If your skin was the ocean I'd sprint to your shore
I'd wade in your shallows, alleviate my core
If you hair was the fir tree all hollow inside
With peace I would slumber

Gripping this pen
Cliff over water
Envisioning drums in rhythmic salute
Poetry craftwork is tough I won't bother
But pull simple rhymes from the dirt
Who'd refute?

All I really need are two notes and a beat
All I really need are two notes and a beat
To sing to you my heart it's a great place to start

D to a G
Swift as a bird
Muscles remembering artless, absurd
And modest attempts at creating a mood
With these thin metal strings my affection construe

Gripping this pen
Cliff over water
Envisioning drums
Poetry craftwork is tough I won't bother
But pull simple rhymes...

All I really need are two notes and a beat
All I really need are two notes and a beat
To sing to you my heart it's a great place to start...


11.We Sing In Time

Oh, in time the trees die
And light will fade
But I hope for a new breath
A new life to take me away

Let us pretend we've got it together
Let us ignore the coming sun
We'll sing the body electric
Until machine and soul are one

I've seen the tweaker struggle
Syringes lined his floor
A cycle churned to life
By dead end jobs and a government's war

Oh, in time the trees die
And light will fade
But I hope for a new breath
A new life to take me away

One by one the monsters trample
Through woods and dirt they feed
What sort of world and plight
For our children must we lead?

Let us burn the nation's budget
Let's send boys overseas
To fight ghosts in the desert
Instead of teaching them to give and lead

Oh, in time the trees die
And light will fade
But I hope for a new breath
A new life to take me away

In time
We sing in time


12.Woe Is Me..I Am Ruined

He gripped my hand like a vice because
I stole her, a fox from a wolf
It seems to me we're one in the same man
We both have fallen short
Time and time again

And...
All i can do is make other's bleed
A prideful ego fire i'm eager to feed

And they say i'm a good guy
And they say i'm a good guy

The worst comes out when i'm alone
I think i'm hiding, but you've always known
Can you meet me in that place
When i'm too ashamed to show my face

And...
All i can do is make others bleed
A prideful ego fire i'm eager to feed
And they say i'm a good guy
And they say i'm a good guy

And...
All i can do is make others bleed
A prideful ego fire i'm eager to feed
And they say i'm a good guy
And they say i'm a good guy
