ist - Toothpick Bridge - Released August 17th, 2009

Headache

Everything you need to know about me’s buried
In the soil of my hometown
Golden wheat fields standing sentry
Over simple people pulling coal out of the ground

And my head aches
My head aches

Sun-baked dust lies heavy on one half of Main Street
As a downpour floods the other side
Powder blue flared trouser legs dart out towards the gathering storm
And straddle the divide

As my head aches
My head aches

I try not to think about it
I try not to think about it
I try not to think about it
I try not to think about it

Bruises close a child’s eyes,
Till all that's left is thunder and those footsteps in the dark
Whatever’s on his breath tonight will one day heal the bite,
But I will always hear the bark

And my head aches
My head aches
My head aches
My head aches
