"COUNTING ON" BY JOHN MARK MCMILLAN

When the night stops pushing up the day
When the miles drop me on the open planes
When I've lost grace with the lady of the dawn
You're what I'm counting on
You're what I'm counting on

Where the hounds run
Track me in my sleep
When I can't trust the company I keep
When I've push passed the point of pressing on
You're what I'm counting on
You're what I'm counting on

I'm throwing stones
Up at your window
I'm casting shadows
Upon your door

Where the bombs break
Right outside my door
And I can't shake the onset of my wars
When the stakes are raised
We hold the hand we've drawn
You're what I'm counting on

I'm throwing stones
Up at your window
I'm casting shadows
Upon your door

MONSTERS TALK

Monsters want to talk to me
No quarter drawn by lawyers on a crimson sea
Weep like willows, break like waves
We are fragile creatures on collision
With our judgement days

Nightbird says she knows my name
But she don't call it out to me
Beneath the rubble like the way you say it
Weep like willows, break like waves
We are fragile creatures on collision
With our judgement days

Monsters want to crowd my room
But on the night the cold wars bloom
You're the only roof I'm standing under
Weep like willows, break like waves
We are fragile creatures on collision
With our judgement days

Your heart smolders in the marrow of the night
Bitter waters cannot quench my thirsty fire
Still, I want to do what's right
But I can't get no sleep
Can I stand beside the way you love tonight
Can I stand
Can I stand beside the way you love tonight
Can I stand
Can I stand beside the way you love
