I will pack my things I will hit the road Said I will not look back Then I always look back I will wait all night for the words to come Set them free like tears Let them go like tears Take me to the edge This time I’ll jump right in I won’t change my mind for the seventh time
2.
Tell me a story Six feet of snow Left at the altar Stranded in Buffalo All of those secrets You couldn’t keep You do your best dreaming Before you go to sleep So many monsters under your bed Just make it till morning How many years now Since you felt your heart Aching or yearning Or breaking apart You never stop thinking You’re lost in your mind It’s just an illusion A trick of the light There’s nothing to do now There’s nowhere to go And nobody’s listening

Dust & Bones 04:35
Come take my hand My precious child Don't let it go Don't leave my side You're all I have Left in this world When I lose you I'll know it's over Like dust and bones Deep in the ground I'm going home I'm sinking down When all is said When all is done The only thing The only one
4.
The flash of light is just ahead of me The cries of angels fall behind Don't want to wake until I've had my sleep Just one more dream, just one more time You could finally put that needle in Travel 'round the world and back again You might push too hard and break the key Get locked outside for all eternity You might start to get more cynical I might lose it when the moon gets full You might start to find me beautiful And finally treat me like an animal I could choke on the air that I breathe Float away and sleep under the tree Find a hole here where my heart should be And end up right back where I started First you go to sleep Then you're rising up again You're remembering a dream Then you're reaching for your pen You write another tale You think another thought You make another deal Another battle to be fought Another addition to your house Another word stuck in your mouth You'll get on your knees and pray That you can live another day Maybe make another year Without succumbing to your fear Of everything you could become Until your heart and soul are numb Until you got nothing to lose Until there's nothing left to prove And nothing left to do Except lie here next to you

about

I give thanks for being led through the fog to a moment of clarity, however fleeting, in which tears were shed and notes were sung. Someone with a sweet smile said it this way: “It is a privilege to live out these days on this lovely planet, to see it all through to the end as much ourselves as ever.”

about

Isaac Dust Las Cruces, New Mexico

I’ve been keeping an audio journal of sorts for years now, recording whenever I can find the time and inspiration. Some recordings are unedited song ideas. Others are musical experiments or times when I’m just goofing around. Many are more developed song ideas that may or may not continue to evolve. Hopefully, I’m getting better as I go along. ... more
