Josephine 03:40
Josephine don’t you think you went too far? They mistook your innocence for charm But now the sick moon’s on the rise I see the horizon’s got it in his jaws There are ghosts who live inside these walls I wonder if you walk these halls anymore I miss you but I’m glad that you’re gone I wrote your words upon my walls But the man died before the name And all that’s left is a crippled little bird I see the city skyline’s crooked teeth I watch the evening turn to dust And wonder bout what could have been Josephine don’t you think you went too far? Time will catch you in it’s teeth Rotten flesh and holey jeans Will be all that remains

I would have to say that a writer Is just another form of a thief Cause I’m catching the words as they fall from your lips and I’m sticking them in my pocket for another day our world is so much more than four walls and a floor so open up the windows and the doors to let the light in I’m sorry to say that I’m leaving I’m bound for the very next train Cause I’ve been running so long toward tomorrow that I haven’t looked back at yesterday cause yesterday’s gone and our world is so much more than four walls and a floor so open up your windows and your doors and let the light in cause time’s a fleeting thing take a look around at the years that have gone away with the wind my home has become a smoky bar, faded memories and my old guitar but I’d not trade a day of my rambling ways for a briefcase and a white picket fence and our world is so much more than four walls and a floor so open up your windows and your doors and let the light in cause time’s a fleeting thing take a look around at the years that have gone away with the wind so let the light in

Baby please lay me down in the soil Where I can sleep for a little while Cause I’ve been running so long that my skin’s turned to ash, my heart’s made of coal, my soul’s made of glass I’d like to grow again Into something worth having I’ve been watching the night as it crashes in waves pulling me under, cleansing my soul in its own way and the moon looks fine from where I lay, a bottle in my hands, no one left to prey from the bottom of a well, is this heaven or hell? Cause my days are haunted by my nights And all I’m asking you for is a light to see by A light to see by I’m tired of chasing shadows around Through the dark allies of this tired town On the sleepy west coast But every time I try to go my eyes spill over Like the muddy shores of this swollen river That I call home someday I’ll shatter that mirror in my soul let all the shards reflect the golden praise of the sun then time would loose it’s hold on me, I’d be free of how the world perceives They’d let me be, let me grow again into something worth having

Arrows 03:50
The hours that belong to you Are buried in the backyard And I’ve been trying to kill that little bluebird But she keeps singing mercy into my ears Love will make you weak, Cuts & it’s pearly & I hold it close to me But don’t go telling God, his sinners are songbirds blue eyed & bipolar, they live where his garden was sun spoke and we all believed the lie that it was bad blood, sorry July but I want to keep you you know you’re the only one that I ever told about the great flood, the regret that it carved out & as for the heathen s and the whores well I’ve got the same disease, you’ll never long for my shadow to darken your door but Love will make you weak, Cuts & it’s pearly & I hold it close to me & don’t go telling God, his sinners are songbirds blue eyed & bipolar, we live where his garden was In a casket at dusk sits a parliament of birds The flapping of wings, a fluttering of souls & I may die like a dog but I’ll not fear the night I’ll crawl with arrows in my hands & my heart

about

Honeysuckle Saratoga Springs, New York

Swirling synth pop meets traditional folk storytelling. Honeysuckle’s sixth studio release, Shadow Dance, encapsulates feelings of nostalgia, loss and hope.
The songwriting is ever poignant, painting a picture with nostalgia. Shadow Dance, as the name implies, plays with the themes of loss and hope and how the two criss cross through our lives.
