Jaws of Summer Video (MV)

On the shoulder of the service road
Stars swaddled in a velvet sky
I am pulling every trick I know
To try to get that fuel to flow

On the opposite side of the city
With photo-negative light in your eyes
You're six miles from a day spent with me
Five dollars to a blacked out night

Sometimes a piece of mind gets caught in the jaws of days
Summer river nightmare bones rotting in the bank
It's a blessing that the sun burns these memories away

In the splinters of time we get
Between work and an early death
I'll be wringing out every breath
To find my way back to your head

Under the elbow of the exit ramp leaning on vapor
There's a garden where I'm sewing my old ways
Reach down and dig my nails in the earth
I am trying to grow something out of all of this darkness

Sometimes a piece of mind gets caught in the jaws of days
Summer river nightmare bones rotting in the bank
It's a blessing that the booze burns these memories away

In the spirit of trying I am bleeding out I'm lying
In the energy that left me feeling beautiful and violent
Why can't we only get good days?

Sometimes a piece of mind gets caught in the jaws of days
Summer river nightmare bones rotting in the bank
It's a blessing that the sun burns these memories away
