Helen of Troy
Nobody knows
What it’s really like to be you
They just see you
They want to be your friend
But they don’t know
That you got a cell block
In your soul
It’s gonna take an army and a wooden horse
To get inside that heart of yours
For behind these walls
Is the most beautiful thing
To keep it to yourself would be a sin
Helen of troy
I am coming for you
When I get there
Will you let me in?
Oh will you let me in…
And I know you’re fucking terrified
To let somebody look inside
To see the sadness that’s behind your
Eyes
But what do you do?
When you find yourself in love again
With someone who’s been thinking of
Nothing but getting underneath
Your skin
Chorus

Stranger in my home

I think that you like the weather here
In the Pacific Northwest where it rains all year
I wish I had a way to tell you
What I really mean
You’re hard to get to know
And you play guitar
And I don’t know anything about your war
I’d like to know who you really are
I would like to know you…
Every song you play is about your pain
I think it’s the way that you communicate
As if you could get the words on a page
To do all the work for you
It was never my intention to fall for you
Someone that I barely knew
But I think I’m in love with a stranger who
I can never know
X2
We listen to music and we drive around
Looking for something but all that we’ve found
Is there’s not a single road in this whole town
Long enough to get you to speak
You’ve no holes or vagaries that would expose
Vulnerability
You drew the line between you and me
And now we’ll never know what we could have been
Chorus X2

The Stop Sign
There is an intersection
Where they should’ve put a stop sign
Long ago
There’s a place down by the river
Hidden in the brush where all the
Cool kids like to go
There’s a steep mountain road
Where you and I
Used to park
Discover answers to the mystery
Of our bodies
In the dark
It’s always sweetness mixed with bitterness
In the northwestern wilderness
But I always know I’ll find you where
The woods are dark and dense
Where the sky is gray but welcoming
And the mountain tops are all you see
Like everything inside of me
So much is hidden
Much is hidden underneath
And they never put up a stop sign
After that accident
There are ghosts that wander through the trees
Never to see the light again
Beauty hides the sadness
I’ll never forget that lake
Where that woman left her husband
Only to meet her fate
Chorus
Wagon wheels, lavender fields
So many ways to get lost it feels
Safe knowing I can drive to the water’s edge if
I am lonely
We all are lonely…
Chorus
