Gone cold
The end comes quietly
A winter freeze
Arriving in the night
Creeping across the floor
Gone cold
We lie in silence, stone lions
The silence is the lie
And we won’t say it
Slipping out the door
Gone cold
I never meant to leave
I never meant to leave
Gone cold
Watched myself say it
Saw it hit you, oh
I have crossed the line
And I can’t take it back
Gone cold
Waiting, hating you
Is hating me
For making me into you
Oh, you made me say it
And I can’t take it back
Gone cold
I never meant to leave
I never meant to leave
Was only walking to see where I would go
Looking back at tracks left in the snow
I never meant to leave
Was only walking to see where I would go
I’ll have to finish this one alone
I gotta get some distance
Try to get some distance
I never meant to leave
Was only walking to see where I would go
Looking back at tracks left in the snow
I never meant to leave
Was only walking to see where I would go
I’ll have to finish this one
Go away get some distance
Just remember to breathe
Don’t you give it all away
Some things are worth keeping
Like keeping the faith
Don’t you dive under mountains
That you were meant to climb
You can find a way
Go away get some distance
Just remember to breathe

No Ceiling
01:41

Got a feeling that I want you
There’s no ceiling on the sky tonight
Done debating, ‘cause it’s all true
You can reconcile it away but I don’t wanna know
Got a feeling that you want to
There’s no reeling in a racing heart in flight
Detonate it, but it’s on you
You can reconcile it away but I don’t wanna know
From that side of town
Running takes you wide
Takes you wide of the target
Runways, stalled an arguments
Got a feeling that I want you
There’s no ceiling on this high tonight
Done debating, ‘cause it’s all true
You can reconcile it away
Lock it in a cage, or
Love the lion leaping off the page

The Devil's Gonna Win
02:09
|

The temptation of Saint Anthony begins
Dancing underneath your dress and waking up my skin
This time
It’s looking like the Devil’s gonna win
My heart is getting darker with every drink
A lion in the winter creeping back into the spring
This time
It’s looking like the Devil’s gonna win
It’s looking like the Devil’s gonna win
Surrender to the siren on the shore
Each time a little easier than the time before
In my ‘try to look surprised’ disguise I reach
Across your shoulder halo and whisper on your cheek
This time
It’s looking like the Devil’s gonna win
It’s looking like the Devil’s gonna win
It’s looking like the Devil’s gonna win

Waiting on a wing to take me south of here
Wish that I could say that I was sorrier
But I am the plane as the wheels lift off the ground
Used to make me think I could do most anything
Then my flying feet fell out like baby teeth
And the shoe just started to fit before I knew it
I was slinging stones at swinging low sweet chariots, it’s true
The just reward is just a dream
This time freedom comes from leaving
Not celestial decree from sacred eagles.
Calling on Apollo to calm this turbulence
I really must admit, it does make Karmic sense
In a past life I would agree that I deserved it
But today I couldn’t say I would reverse it, yeah it’s true
The just reward is just a dream
This time freedom comes from leaving
Not celestial decree from sacred eagles.
Wings are not made of angels

London town, it’s raining, he’s at the gate
Waving from the window
Oh no, baby don’t go
Should have seen it coming a mile away
Dropping from the bomb bay
This was not like Pompeii
You know you never loved him but you tried
You were in my planecrashdream last night
It’s fair to say we set the bar too high
Couldn’t help from finding
Holes in the silver lining
Should have seen it coming in from the West
Second second chances
Praying from the basement
You know you never loved me but you tried
You were in my planecrashdream last night
You were in my planecrashdream last night
You were in my planecrashdream last night

There was another room right here all along
It was a brave and fateful place and I belonged
There was another room where we could see
That there was room to grow
And find a way to roll away the stone
There was another room right here where I first learned
It was a graceful basement place for my return
There was a party going on, but I had to go alone
To find a word to roll away the stone
Reaching down through the ceiling
Climbing up through the wall
Slipping past the watchman
Standing guard
Crawling over failing ancient mud and blood and bone
To find a key to roll away the stone
There was another room just waiting to be believed
A consecrated station where I was received
To the head of the class with a halo’s glow
Waiting there to roll away the stone
Reaching down through the ceiling
Climbing up through the wall
Slipping past the watchman
Asleep on guard
Crawling over failing ancient mud and blood and bone
To find a key to roll away the stone
There was a party going on, but I knew I had to go alone
To find a key to roll away the stone

Left the Best Part Out
03:51
|
|||
You go to bed a little early
Me, I stay awake and drink and
Think too much about
How the ending will read
If I’m missing from the scene
On the pages in between
I left the best part out
You fall asleep so easy
Me, I can’t rest until
I’ve wrestled another hour
From the end of the day
At the end of a bar
Told the end of the joke
And left the best part out
Now my friends they try to tell me
Boy, just enjoy the ride
But, my wheels are off the runway
And I’m headed for a slide
You say, “Is it late? Or is it early?”
While making up my story
I left the best part out

Creeping across the floor

I never meant to leave
I never meant to leave
Was only walking to see where I would go
Looking back at tracks left in the snow
I never meant to leave
Was only walking to see where I would go

Gone cold
Waiting, hating you
Is hating me
For making me into you
Gone cold
For making me into you
But you won’t say it
Gone cold
I never meant to leave
I never meant to leave
Was only walking to see where I would go
Looking back at tracks left in the snow
I never meant to leave
Was only walking to see where I would go
I’ll have to finish this one

Finn's Motel St Louis, Missouri
Finn’s Motel started as the brainchild of Joe Thebeau, a home recording geek. It has evolved into a rock band and production collective, making albums and videos. In the early days, musicians checked in and out of the Motel as needed. But in 2018, the lineup solidified with the addition of Jack Petracek and Scott Roever alongside Steve Scariano, the only other permanent resident of the Motel. ... more
