Though I know just where you go
I'll ask you all the same
Yea I may be your puppet now
be careful with my strings
Well don't you find it funny how
I love to play your game
One that I may never win
when you control my fate
Well it's tangled now
and nothing ever turns out like I planned
Oh, on my own
So pick me up and put me down
into the world you made
Perfection or rejection
that's the game my nature plays
Still I see the sun and moon
their course aligned with ease
You could lift me up to fly
or bring me to my knees
Well it's tangled now
what happens when it turns out like I planned?
Oh, on my own

About You Gone

Found my place
about you gone
Heard them say
you turned to salt
And you’ve been away
for so long
it’s funny
Well thanks for the time
is it your world
or is it mine
I begin
to sing again
You can go
but I’ll remain
And if I escape
from your hold
around me
Well thanks for the time
was it your life
or was it mine

When all is said and done
will I be the only one
to wish for time
to slow our days
turn them into lifetimes
In the sun
through that tall grass we could run
in the cold
we found warmth no hands could hold
our many happy days of nothing
Do you still feel
like we did back then
when our love was real?
'cause I can't tell
if I'm mad at you or just mad at myself
All the time
there's this question in my mind
I can't say how the time has got away
so many ways to say I'm sorry
In the sun
through that tall grass we could run
I can't say how the years have got away
our many happy days of nothing

May Song

When it’s raining through the night
and I can’t turn out the light
or put down my guitar
Memories ask if they can stay
but I send them all away
I don’t wonder where you are
No I wasn’t ready then
I know you probably think I never am
and I haven’t been
When the leaves are turning brown
when your words blur into sound
and they leave you in the dark
How do you calm a restless heart
did you have it from the start
nothing ever calms you down
I couldn’t tell you where I’ve been
but I’m happy to be here again
whatever shape I’m in

The Man I Was
04:13
|

|
From her bedroom window
there’s a view so far
Out across the desert
to the highway cars
But she won’t ever see
another town
Cause she’s waiting for her man
to come around
Babe it’s been so long
I don’t know what I could say
Fell in love then I got drafted
sent so far away
But I don’t wanna be
the man I was
Causing so much pain
to the one I love

Life in a Glass House
03:21
|

|
Between the words he could feel it go wrong
followed a star til the sun came along
close all the windows when you get too high
satellite circles a drain in the sky
I won’t fall into
We lived in water last night in my dream
shouted your name but the room was the sea
Life in a glass house, I’m never surprised
satellite circles the blank of my eye
I won’t split in two

Answer's elusive
Just out of reach
It all goes sideways
As soon as I speak
So convoluted
I'm losing the spark
The glass I see through
Has turned so dark
Before I fell away
From all these countless days
They're the same thing
It's just a passing phase
It takes forever
I can relate
So out of practice
I'm out of touch
Who knew that 3 words
Could hurt so much
This hesitation
Is foreign to me
Make it convincing
Makes no difference to me
Before I fell away
From all these countless days
They're the same thing
It's just a passing phase
It takes forever
I can relate

Velvet Cage

Run away again
just to kill the pain
everybody uses
just a different name
It’s the velvet cage
the poison butterfly
Always falling in
always loving you
If i couldn’t love
I don’t know what I’d do
If it’s not within
it can’t be without
just this once
He’s in camouflage
he’s a silent gun
put you in a jar
and shook you til you spun
Out of everything
lost touch with everyone
Never gonna stay
til he takes it back
do you really think
he’d ever take it back
Well who possesses you?
find your wings again
for just once

Where the Hours Go
04:16
|

|
Days in the shade
from the sun, we escape
Won’t mention names
of all the friends we betrayed
Where the hours go
I don’t know
Nights kept awake
by the song that we sang
Plays in my head
while I lay in my bed
Where the hours go
I don’t know

If you like Tyler Burkhart, you may also like:
supported by 5 fans who also own “Through the Tall Grass”
2nd listen: fills me with a positive anxiety, a sense of having all expectations subverted despite already knowing the record. 1st listen: being at my first Fog Lake record ever, I was not expecting this deep, intense, introspected mood that grows song after song to an almost unbearable climax!

Untourable Album
by Men I Trust
supported by 5 fans who also own “Through the Tall Grass”
A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe.
