Dunkey's Greatest Moments - 1 Hour Compilation

You tremble like a star
So pretty but so far
Beyond this broken world
You swirl and swirl and swirl

Long forgotten child
Forced to wander, brave and wild
Your purpose in this world
Is to swirl and swirl and swirl

My light is growing dim
Adrift when I used to swim
Goodbye my darkened world
I swirl and swirl and swirl

Sunset Time

Once in every trillion years
God does shed a single tear
Burning in the atmosphere
The glow as lovely as the raining

Set adrift in the endless fear
That what we are is never clear
I don't need to know how we got here
To know that you were worth creating

Your bones contain the meaning
Belief without believing
The hymn of faith is being
You

Juliana

Reach through my skin
With your perfect hands
Tell me I am something
That I don't believe I am
Wander through my alleyways
Acquaint with all my thieves
Pick citrus from my orchards
Then rest in my dead leaves

If I could sing you off to sleep
This is what that song would be
I won't let you go

I want to read every page
And then start again
I want to hate your enemies
And love all your friends
I'll clean all the windows
In your little shop downtown
When it's time to lock the doors at night
We'll be more than what we found

If I could take you somewhere safe
This is the song that I would play
I won't let you go

The Defeat of the Emerald Weapon

It's a word, It's a phrase
It's a song, It's a place
It's a scent, familiar face
It's a breeze on a perfect day

It's a birth, it's a wedding
It's a joke that I'm forgetting
It's what I didn't say now I'm regretting
It's the eerie calm as the sun is setting

My world keeps getting colder
As your fire begins to smolder
Though this pain is never over
I thought I felt your hand on my shoulder

Yes it hurts, it always does
It's a cruel world without your love
But when I'm here, like a drug
I find comfort in the burning blood

It's a reminder that you're still living in my blood

Hot Cocoa Ice Cream Sandwich

The reality is this
You could break me with a kiss
Turn me in on my hungry heart
Watch me tear myself apart

The reality is this
I'm as frail as my cheapest wish
A coward with brave words
The more they echo, the more absurd

The reality is this
The worst case could still be bliss
I'm too busy spinning out
Driven by a reasonable doubt

The reality is this
You can't hold what you wont let slip
I got so good at seeing the signs
That now they haunt me all the time

I Wanted You Dead, and O' How I Dreamt of It

I wanted you dead, and O' how I dreamt of it
The wind of your last breath warm on my cheek
You are a blight, a scourge on my holy earth
Vile, pathetic, pitiful, weak


I wanted you dead, and O' how I dreamt of it
Cleansed of your curse as you fade off to sleep
Mercy you cry, mercy I never show
But you keep on rising back up from the deep

You say I need you, but I tried to send you away
What good is this mirror, just shards on the floor
I feel your aching, I feel your shame
I don't want this dead weight anymore


I wanted you dead, and O' how I dreamt of it
Caught in some nightmare just watching you bleed
I followed the lessons taught by my past
Becoming the beast from which I was freed

I know I need you, I'm sorry I sent you away
Please bring me the pieces I completely ignored
I'll heal your aching, you heal my shame
I don't want this blind hate anymore


In the light of the torch I brought to burn you alive
I see that you are me and I don’t want you to die
I want you to live, and O' how I dream of it

Ode to the Target Cashier

Jessica Williams, you gave me your number but I didn't call
I wonder how you felt while your phone sat and did nothing at all
Well, in much the same way I was lying on my bedroom floor, frozen in fear
The fear that I wasn't worth you, so sure I would hurt you and leave you in tears

It was nearly fall when Autumn called and asked "What was wrong with me?"
I could have died thinking of all the nights she cried while I was sound asleep
She had sky blue eyes, a radiant smile, and she made me laugh
But I didn’t love myself enough to love someone who might love me back

You glow like a fresh snow reflecting the moonlight on a clear winters eve
I know you're not flawless, but everything about you was perfect to me
After all these years, after all this pain, I thought that I would at least be strong
But I'm still the same, the things I should just say, become lyrics in a throwaway song

It's the same old story
Come and sing along
I'll play it again I'm sure
It's just a throwaway song
