Veil

Vocals, 12-String Guitar, Electric Guitars, Bass, Flute, Drum Machine – Pinnacle Tricks

Sea’s rough for skippin’ stones
Stiff drinks and sink alone
Smoke rings and spider stings
Cloaked cold in black crow wings

No room to call my own
No moon to guide me home
Far dawn and curtains torn
Time laughs and Love’s forlorn

Cold mind and heavy feet
Heavy heart and colder sleet
Feigning lies a midnight sigh
Cut my heart and bleed me dry

God knows the time is short
God knows this poisoned thought
Could snuff the flame from whence it came
But still I’m here and still I’ll stay

Feigning lies a midnight sigh
Still I’m here and still I’ll stay
Still I’m here and still I’ll stay
Still I’m here and still I’ll stay

You’ve Gone

Vocals, Electric Guitars, 12-String Guitar, Sitar, Bass, Tambourine – Pinnacle Tricks

You’ve gone
And bereft the day laments its faded azure
You’ve gone
And again I bleed alone without a cure
You’ve gone
And I can’t for the life of me recall
That you’ve gone
The last time that I though of you before
You’ve gone
You’ve gone
You’ve gone
You’ve gone

Crossing the Plains

Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Flute, Cello, Tambourine – Pinnacle Tricks

Proud
Soldiers in their prime
Marching in their stride
To keep the Hetmans
Proud

Vicious Little Witch

Piano, Electric Guitars, Accordion, Flute, Violin, Bass, Drone – Pinnacle Tricks

(instrumental)

Thunderous Steps

Vocals, Electric Guitars, 12-String Guitars, Bass, Tambourine, Drum Machine – Pinnacle Tricks

Well I guess I’m already late
So I might as well take my time
Likely they’ve already made up their mind
Chances are that they’re not thinking of you at all

So follow the little lights home
And breathe deep of the air outside
Don’t seem to matter if I’m awake or asleep
My shadow follows, my death his keep

So skirt the pylons and gather up a charge
And walk these wires with thunderous steps all brash and large
I hate myself and love my own disparaged panache
And know one day I’ll fall and leave a deafening crash

Way Back

Vocals, Electric Guitars, Piano, Mandolin, Tambourine, Drum Machine – Pinnacle Tricks

Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I don’t
Sometimes it helps
Sometimes it won’t

Pull the Wool Over Your Eyes

Vocals, Acoustic Guitar – Pinnacle Tricks

Wrong
I don’t belong
My friends are gone
So I’ll just sing a song

I’ve
Got more to write
But the day ain’t so bright
And my full page is a fright

Who could have known
That time would go and pull the wool over your eyes
Your faded screams
Are distant dreams of years you’ll never get back

It’s funny to me that we’re born upside-down
And can’t start the race ’til we turn ourselves round
And even if we learn a thing or make an end meet
We can’t go back and there ain’t a repeat

Past
I past the line
I thought I had time
But I’m spinning this rhyme

It’s absurd
Haven’t you heard?
We live in the world
That our parents evoke

Who could have known
That time would go and pull the wool over your eyes
Your faded screams
Are distant dreams of years you’ll never get back
