Goddamn
How could I want
Any more than I already got
What makes me think I deserve what I got
Did I get enough
Did you get enough
Does anyone anywhere ever get enough
Goddamn

The Seamstress
03:19
|
|||
|
You know you got me hanging by a single thread
When you got the whole damn spool spinning up inside your head
Give a little slack
Give a little back
Let the seamstress weave a web so thick
So thick so thick
It makes me sick
You know you got me hanging on every word
When you got a whole damn dictionary in a single verse
What’s 15 to 20, dear?
I don’t wanna go away
I will do whatever need be done
You know you got me
spinning round and round in here
When will it ever stop?
I’ll do whatever need be done
My eyes are spinning
My legs are giving out
My lungs are filling up
My tongue keeps repeating spitting out nonsense
Nonsense nonsense nonsense
I still love the cold of your bitter web of words

By This, By That
03:05

Tired of conflict
I wear your heart around my neck
To remind me
Of what I was and can be
Changes
got to make them
Or we will all hang our hearts
Around another’s neck
Static
Never try to move
Find ourselves cemented
To our only chains
I got no idea
what makes you believe
What you believe
Or makes me conceive
The things I can think
I got no idea
what makes me believe
What I believe
Or makes you conceive
The things you can think
I can swear by this
Or I can swear by that
But I won’t and I cannot
Let my heart swing on another’s neck
I can swear by this
Or I can swear by that

Another Tired Bomb
02:56
|
|||
|
A work of fiction
A faith without form
A country without construct
The work without the worn
Another tired bomb
Another way to fight the storm
We can will the way or we can wilt away
Or I can find the sun
I think we can find the sun
I think we can all find a way
That cobra can’t hide for long
Let’s get out of this church, let’s get out of the shade
Nobody knows the things you know
Contact
Makes the body feel suspect
What the body knows
Reflex

Abigail and Alexander

Abigail
Tell me what’s on your mind
Tell me how you waste your time
Better yet don’t bother wasting mine
You better get on that train
And make something
Of yourself
And write us when you have
So, tell me daughters, did your father never let you see him cry at all
And tell your sons it’s okay to love with all of your heart, hopelessly
Alexander
Tell me how you waste your life
Tell me what’s on your mind
Better yet leave me to lead mine
You better get on that plane
And try to make something
Of yourself
Or don’t bother to come back
We will return
We can exact our revenge
A bit of perspective
A bit of blood
Perhaps a bit too much

Hearts
03:11

I could be your heart
Or I could be your gut
Either way, I could be the thing that tears you up

Silence (A Gory Spill)
01:36
|
|||
|
I don’t know how to talk to you
Or how to sing
But words find their way
Like buffalo on the plain
Wander, they will
And they wander still
Perhaps
To the nearest cliff
A gory spill
Let’s slaughter the rest
Go in for the kill
Without words
it will be better than silence
I promise
Without them there will still
never be silence

Lock it up
Light the fuse
Walk away
That way you’ll never lose
So stand on up
Tie your shoes
Stick around
Through the blood and the bruise
Saddle up
Satellite
See the world
Gonna see it tonight
Hunker down
Its fight or flight
Can’t tie me down
I’ll be flying tonight
I’m coming for you
I’ll be coming for you
And when I get there
You’ll be coming to
So stand on up
If you stick around
I’ll stick around
And light the fuse
I know your heart beats like the drum
Just know your love still drives the song
I know we’ll beat each other numb
Just like your heart beats like a drum
Not afraid of the dark
But afraid of the mind
It’s not fight or flight
It’s not yours of mine
So stand on up
Tie your shoes
Stick around
Through blood and the bruise
I’ll stick around
If you stick around
Through the blood and the bruise

Old Enough
03:30
|
|||
|
We used to run through these woods
Looking for some kind of an excuse
Finding out more about those that made no sense on the surface of things
Skip a stone, skip along, carve a path all the way to the highest peak
Staring down the steepest ravine, as you are to me
Sun went down, so did we
We got fevers of the coldest kind
We hover somewhere along the thinnest red line
She says I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine
Old enough, I swear we are
Still just young enough at heart to get lost
We got fevers of the coldest kind
We hover somewhere along the thinnest red line
She says I’ll be yours for all time

Born To Be
03:52
|
|||
|
I was born in a church
Right down the road
Buried in a ditch
Where nobody knows
I was born in a church
But never met the lord
Buried in a ditch
Don’t think anybody knows
Ever count the trees?
Ever try to count their leaves?
It seems they all may fall on me
Left to ponder the blues
And the weight of the sky
Ever wonder how birds get so high?
Ever wonder why?
You were born in a ditch
Right down the road
Buried in a church
Where everybody knows
We were born to be
Ever count the trees?
Ever try to count their leaves?
It seems they all may fall on me
Left to ponder the blues
And the weight of the sky
Ever wonder how birds fly?
Ever wonder why?

Time Your Lies
03:42
|
|||
|
I’ve got one piece of advice to give
Be sure to time your lies with precision
And if I’ve got just one life to live
I won’t be burned by one decision
As I grow older, I can’t keep up all of these lies just slipping and sliding all the way through my feckless mind
And if she’s got one heart to give
She’ll tear it out and place it high up in a tower
And if you doubt she’ll be able to live
She will, she has, and we all struggle to reach it, but she’ll live on forever
As I grow taller, I can’t hold a candle to the sun
One is gonna burn the other right through my palm
Be sure to time your lies with precision

Enough
01:07
|
|||
|
I found
there’s enough to go around
And there’s enough to fight about
You just have to choose
Which one you’ll do
Which path that’s right for you

Butterflies
03:15
|

|
Here we go, I'm running in, I'm gonna find you
I saw you there, but I'm not sure you were there
I'm not sure you were any where
You're gonna be blown away by the wind
I'm gonna get you, I'm coming after you
I'm running into the trees
Among the flowers and the bees
I've never seen colors like these
Oh, butterfly
Fly away, butterfly
Don't fly away
I will take those wings
Try to fly, fly away, butterfly
I'm gonna find you
No one has ever seen colors like these
But I believe
I'm gonna find you
I found you

Closer somehow
