Abandon The Search Lyrics – Glenmerle

I’m sighing deeper these days As matters complicate I’m missing simpler times Before the great divide And I’d like to abandon the search I wanna [go along?] and just float away But I can’t just unsee the lightning I can’t ignore the thunder and just walk away Still something tells me it’s all gonna be … Read more

Fables Lyrics – Glenmerle

What if the stories I’ve been told Were just fables? Soothe my soul It’d be more than understandable to run from home What if this compass don’t point north?

Humankind Lyrics – Glenmerle

You’d never think that this palace was built on sand Or shaky ground But past the doorway, under the fresh, white paint It’s a haunted house If you listen close, you’ll hear it creaking in the wind Creaking in the wind Fault lines growing, cracks are showing It’s creaking in the wind again Nowhere to … Read more

Sticks and Stones Lyrics – Glenmerle

I woke the beast without a plan Out of ammo, no stones left to cast Empty-handed, I ran I called down lightning, but I’m too scared of the flash And all I wanted was peace of mind To be someone you could believe to be kind Still if I measure the world by what it … Read more

Whitewashing a Grave Lyrics – Glenmerle

All walls come slow Day by day the mortar dries, and parapets of self-righteousness rise Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Before you know it, towering defenses guard your heart or so you think Now I can’t [sing?] I’m trapped inside this thickened skin, I can’t get out and no one can get in Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh How I long to be … Read more

Quake Lyrics – Glenmerle

Is it only ’cause we’re young Toddlers dressed up in weathered bodies, we’d fool any crowd Yet we are still alone Landlocked, but islanders; we grapple to feel anything Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh If you had a million years Would you risk that you’ll run aground or pick out your burial ground? I admit it’s … Read more

Bury The Truth Lyrics – Glenmerle

Hello, lion-hearted One It’s been a while since I’ve told You how I really feel And if I’m honest as Your son I’m getting tired of the struggle to discern what’s real All my life I just assumed That no spirits risen will deny the truth Why it only takes a few Before you start … Read more

Smoke Signals Lyrics – Glenmerle

Everything’s changed, we’re practically strangers And my head’s warning me to stay out of danger But the more that I try, the harder it gets To slow down my heart, to try to forget ‘Cause when our eyes meet, it couldn’t be plainer But where there’s smoke, there’s fire And I think I’m here in … Read more

Sleepwalking Through Paradise Lyrics – Glenmerle

Sleeping-walking through paradise It takes so long to realize That the wonder of your youth Is a gift that you can lose Things I once could not believe Now desensitize, my eyes can barely see The sunrise hardly leaves me amazed these days Nothing seems to do the trick We lost it back in ’96 … Read more

Hymn of My Heartbeat Lyrics – Glenmerle

Rain falls and the grass rises up Next thing I know, it’s returned to dust I watch, but my window’s painted shut What do I have to show for all these months, ooh? The world keeps turning And I’m just getting older For all my yearning I can’t make it go slower The human burden … Read more
