57 tracks by Will Stelter
I’ve been trailing yarn for days,
Ahead of what may come, dismay.
Soot, and ash, and bone-
Gnarled and undone.
I’ve been railing stone for change,
Two cents - task on the brain.
Root, and clothes, and thrones-
Ravaged and unloved…

We were born in the salt and snow,
A stones throw, from a stone throw.
Born to wanderlust and coal,
But that rusted junk will never turn.
Just thought you should know.
Just thought you should go.
Back the fire in your heart,
Cause…

I sleep, at the bottom of the sea,
The waves crash, the fish pass, and I still won't hear a thing.
Cause you drink, way too much again,
You're alone, you're home.
Hide your hands, hide your…

Are you scared to wake up?
In the same place you laid your head.
You scribble on your make up,
To pretend your face's not dead.
And I know,
Yes I know.
The opposition shows.
Are you afraid to take up?
Memoirs of your past.
You hang…

The trees are shaking, from your insolence.
They stagger, choking, their breath on the wind.
It makes me question, it makes me recant.
Where have we been, and where have we gone.
When's the point when we say all is lost.
Is lost.

I,
Like the Tide,
Have been breathing with the moon overhead,
While the world lay all silent in stead.
The rocks peaking out on the bed,
The anchors all out in the dredge.
My eyes,
See too slight,
With a heavy brow, I look towards the…

I see in color,
Even when, the words, black and white
I hear in flutters,
Even when, the words come in trite.
After all,
I'm tied to this anchor.
I'm tied to this hull.
Tied to this deck, through the night.
I better get to climbing…

My spirit's been running wild
Chasing cats, and howling at the moon
I've felt this way for awhile dear
Yeah someday, I'm gonna marry you.
So go put on your firey cap,
Be my anchor and my mast.
If I ever feel lost at sea,
I'll just remember…

Rough Take: Recorded on what I had available (Cell Phone)
Made of iron, I'm made of blood
Raise your arms against me, and you'll feel the flood,
“Cause I don't need to run.
I won't sleep, til you're gone.”
My axe kept eating, wood and flesh…

When I was a bird,
Clipped my own wings, so you wouldn't hurt.
I figured they'd re-molt,
Now the damned things never grow.
That's how it goes...
When I was a stone,
I made it down the hill, but ended up alone.
Just inches from my throne…

You are the setting sun,
Once you've left and gone, it's like I'm waiting to be found.
You are an open book,
In another language, time well stood.
I would be your sinking ship,
You, with your captain's cap.
You, could lead us down into…

A little sick; but couldn't resist.
Lyrics:
The lighthouse is still: calling me out to play.
I know we flipped the covers, but still I can feel the waves
The glass in the mirror, wont mean a thing till the wind sings along.
I have no…

Tack on the soles of our two shoes,
Walk until we can find the dam.
And if the water is shallow enough,
Maybe you wouldnt mind wading in.
Waist deep, and it's getting cold,
Still you refuse to go home.
You're convinced that I want to stay…

A little work in progress here : written with a friend as a female/male duet.
Ill cut off my hair
And trim down my nails
Set out to sea
Then let down my sails
Mistake me for a man
You wouldn't be the first
You can't have my best
Without getting…

I've been growing out my beard,
'It's full of shame, and just an ounce of fear
I've been reworking my hands
Into something strong, once again
For I was caught in a firestorm
In my soul, in my heavy heart
A voice pulled me from the dark,
Who…

The cupboards, of this old house
Don't close like they used to
And your mother, is just as old now
Wouldn't you say
The lanterns, you hung in your teeth when you were young,
Still light up the room
Yeah it's true,
If anything is true
I wish…

I've been wracking my brain,
Tryin to figure out what to say
For days
So you be the gasoline,
I'll be the lit match
You be the fireplace,
I'll be the burning door-mats
Burn the house down baby,
Burn it to the ground
Burn the house…

Don't let it go, don't let it burn out so slow; like a bar of soap in your match-jar.
Cause even when things hurt the most, don't let it go.
And when the wick burns out, when your house remains a parsed kind of fall.
When the rambling chords…

Back the car, down the boulevard
Right up on the beach
And when the sea, comes crashing in
You, won't hear a thing
There's dreams, painted above the waves
And their caps at your feet
With light-house on point, fisherman beyond
Blue and…

Let's buy decency,
And we'll stitch into the arms of our sweaters,
Cause I'm just a fool,
With an acoustic guitar, no shimmer.
I used to read books,
If they held my attention I still might.
The callous on my thumbs,
Say I stay up and…
