lyrics

They came and shut the cable down today
Close the door, sway right, face down
To dig up relics from the carpet and
Fall asleep without a friend

I've been hiding by the river town singing bridge again
I told collections I was sorry, "Try your best don't worry
I'll be back up on my feet soon".
Do you have some time to talk about death
Do you have some time to talk about death

A lot of things have really passed away
And I just wanted to be loved
Even though you called, I don't want you to feel like you gotta stay
If we're being honest, I know I sold myself in a million ways
If ever you mean what you say, or not, I'll be ok

Tell me, would you stay if I failed at something great
Tell me, would you stay
Sometimes I let the movie menu play
Tell me, would you stay
There's really not much of me left today
Tell me would you change if nobody else would stay the same

Lay my head down in the woods tonight
Like a fort when I was young
Keep the company of ghosts and care way too much
What they all think of me
What they all think of me

Home would move on and I just wanted it to stay
Wanted it to stay

A lot of things have really passed away
And I just wanted to be loved
Even though you called, I don't want you to feel like you gotta stay
If we're being honest, I know I sold myself in a million ways
If ever you mean what you say, or not, I'll be ok

Tell me, would you stay if I failed at something great
Tell me, would you stay
Sometimes I let the movie menu play
Tell me, would you stay
There's really not much of me left today
Tell me would you stay if home was like a chase
Running from the wings

Lay my head down in the woods tonight
Like a fort when I was young
Keep the company of ghosts and care way too much
But they don't think of me
They don't think of me

Home would move on and I just wanted it to stay
Wanted it to stay

Far Above The Pines
by Dust Sculptures

supported by 12 fans who also own “The Woods”

A totally under-appreciated gem. Very few projects have captured the sense of dusty melancholia and nostalgia that Dust Sculptures evoke, and this album is seminal in that regard. Dieseltone

Nostalgia
by Dust Sculptures

supported by 10 fans who also own “The Woods”

I've been following the works of Josh since the Spikey Drummer years. Then Dust Sculptures and lately his most recent work Home. Both Dust Sculptures and Josh's Home are a most for any prog music lover. There are so many great things and emotions on this one. Get it! Daniel Siconnelli
