having crawled back through these hills, knowing full well the devil walks this wilderness-
i hear em in the night, oh i hear em in the night, wounded animal as i am.
i wake in the half light, i am wailing at your window!
i wake in the half light and i am clawing at your door!
i wake in the half light, i am wailing at your window!
i wake in the half light and i am crawling toward and clawing at your door!
for my soul,
my little soul,
my silly little soul don’t know better than to reach for yours.
you’ve not unleashed me! why won’t you release me?
you keep a piece, but i’m still whole.
and i don’t expect you to recall each subtle way you asked “stay small?”
right when you got what you wanted, you didn’t want me at all!
“you’re what you are, you’re what you are, you’re what you- i love you for it!”
“you’re what you are, you’re what you are, you’re what you- oh i don’t know!”
“you’re what you are, you’re what you are, you’re what you- i love you for it!”
“you’re what you are, you’re what you are, you’re what you are- change it all!”
having wondered for my worth, knowing full well what the wandering had stirred-
i feel it in my breast, oh i feel it and this is my best, feral scavenger as i am.
i hunt in the half light for that thing that got away!
i hunt in the half light for that which dare call itself prey!
i hunt in the half light for that thing i never had!
i hunt in the half light for the wild, the broken, the bad!
for my soul,
my little soul,
my silly little soul don’t know better than to crave to have.
it’s a fire that all consumes me, a hunger that keeps me raw!
it wanted to crack you open, it wanted to watch me thaw that…
discerning that makes you stoic. that stillness will make you old!
my problem’s that i’m a sucker, your problem’s that you run cold.
so go on and run cold!
but hey! don’t expect me to recall reach subtle way i asked “stay small?”
right when i got what i wanted, i couldn’t see you at all!
“you’re what you are, you’re what you are, you’re what you- i love you for it!”
“you’re what you are, you’re what you are, you’re what you- oh please don’t go!”
“you’re what you are, you’re what you are, you’re what you- i love you for it!”
“you’re what you are, you’re what you are, you’re what you are- change it all!”
and i don’t expect you to recall each subtle way you asked “stay small?”
right when you got what you wanted, you didn’t want me at all!
“you’re what you are, you’re what you are, you’re what you- i love you for it!”
“you’re what you are, you’re what you are, you’re what you- oh i don’t know!”
“you’re what you are, you’re what you are, you’re what you- i love you for it!”
“you’re what you are, you’re what you are, you’re what you are- change it all!”
pleasure’s a bad bad joke, when you leave out desire.
the night gets real real cold, when you won’t feed the fire.
this is my last stand!
you’re not the last man that will ever hold my less than lily hand in his!
you’ll too recover to love another, but i don’t believe you’ll ever care to see me again.
yet i love you my friend!
my lost and long gone friend!

I had the pleasure of seeing him perform live in San Diego in a very intimate set. His music just brings me a deep state of comfort, like listening to a friend.
