Tend to the Soul

For what, I’ve held feeling for this?
Poison puts wall to fist
Days of grey, nights of joy, dawns of pain
Roamed, this garden maze of doubt¬
The outside world still turned
Wasted age, wasted time, fruitful lie
Throw the past away, tend to the soul
Scars are yours to find
So what, for paranoias sake
Is friendship what’s so fake?
Time to drink, time to laugh, too late to feel
Longing for this ideal
Those moments I wish I could steal
Wrote in ink, wrote in tears, just another read
Throw the past away, tend to the soul
Skies are yours to fly
Throw the past away, tend to the soul
Scars are yours to find
So what do I do right now?
The hurt subsided somehow
All that’s left is me
Throw the past away, tend to the soul
Skies are yours to fly

Blanket

Once when our souls intertwined in stories and laughter
Once kindred minds find in time must go to the wind
Now, in the gifts we exchange, will be the fabric of our lives
The path I’ll weave won’t always be the parallel one to you
That’s the fabric that was knitted for what you gave to me
If to damn the sun and ask why you bring everyone back to the snow
And I know these friends will be written down as memories
But in this blanket to keep warm you are the fabric of this life
The path you’ll weave won’t always be the parallel one to me
That’s the fabric that was knitted for what I gave to you

Home

The sinners have spoken and laid dirt in their path
What’s left is the truth, and what’s right is their lie
Bricks laid with no foundation or love
Only stems of rust stab the air we call our home
Go home
Faith in the root is still twined by heartstrings
And as ground sours, all of the children are playthings
Yet senses lie, lies are considered golden
Paths are forked so much that its hard to find our way back home
Go home

Specters Gather
04:15

Mother which is the right road to away
The road less taken is the darkest day
It reminds us and soothes the mind
Because the spirit is just fine
The phantoms feed on memories and missing years
My toys turn to weapons that kill joy
And damn that place where I last played
I would’ve loved to have stayed
Spare the son in mourning, his release
The specters gather for a cup of tea
And congregate around his grave
Another soul has been saved
As the roadside is littered with bouquets
Wooden crosses and words engraved
They remind us that we celebrate death, we celebrate death
The child will be fine
Smoke what’s left of this
Take the road
It’s mad to do what the devils say, it’s sad to think in the angel’s way
Fathers mourn and mothers scorn the child’s story is told

The scarecrow smiles at its field
The sin justifies the shovels wield
The wind will carry breath of all
As her remains help feed the crawl
Nature we use is her last gift to us because she dies
The flies never pick their swarms
The rain never picks its storms
The secret is like needles in skin
The growing weed knows where to begin
The night hosts a concert of her cries
Who says soil is nothing without skies
Tools that we use is her last curse to us because she died
The worms never discriminate
Erosions of earth never tell too late

Resonate

It’s easy to remember
The bad things
With closed fists
We reveal the moments that were real
The text bleeds off the page
From water’s breath
Now I’m home
Where nothing roams but what could’ve been
From the other side I will hear you resonate
In autumn’s rust the scents will
Bring back the time
Naïve eyes meet the aged mind
Who is that?
The saying of the right words
Get blown away
By the wind
Into nothing, just memories and dust
From the other side I will hear you resonate

Forrest Lonefight: Des Moines, Iowa. Solo Singer/Songwriter, guitarist for Low Fiction Underground & The
Maw.
Latest Solo album: Flickering In F-Sharp!
The new album is as diverse as an album can be. It's also the darkest. It is a journey through one man's struggle with alcohol & drug addiction. The descent is captured with an unsettling score and plays out like a cinematic concept record.
