Alice and InteriorsI swear I tried again
You’re never visible on the weekdays
When I need you to
Do what you can’t afford to do
You better watch your tone
You’re not invincible
You know I’ll do what I have to do
To stop the sound coming from you
ApprehensionFinding out that you had lost the little one inside you
Not a sound, but chalk that you had dropped on the floor
And I could tell that when you fell the future never planned on getting easier
God has never been afraid to fill our cups with more than they could hold
Til they all overflow and we drown once and for all
How could I misconceive I was owed something radically radiant
The doctor came through and asked if you'd like to give it name
Bed HeadArguing with the dead
I'm not alone but it sure feels like someone left
Deaf notes and talking heads
Carrying on your debt
Blood on the bed head and volumes you left unsaid
Let 'em talk and let it habit
Now I'm afraid you're alone
Oh my god
Colly StringsTake a leaf of paper and draw your mind,
Your bourbon brown that can burn my eyes,
I lost your presence underneath the bridge
Lock the door, let's talk it out,
Against the wall, hands on my mouth,
Could this be it, is it really over now?
Cope
I want to watch it all fall until it's dark,
you both look exactly the same at night
I'd arrange the bed like crosses, watched them fall into the floor
Made me stop and forget what we were fighting for
It's like everything that I ever have imagined's coming true today
There is a cost, my friends
DeerHalf a year and here you are again
I'd go out in public if nobody ever asked
I sit home and drink alone
And hope that bottle speaks
Like you, like us, like me
Half a year again, now it's a whole
February stationery from you on the wall
DinosaurFall asleep, start drifting over
Stunned police, wildly enlightened
Pace your peace, nobody really knew him
But you and me, were raised by the lion
Hold me now, I will not repeat myself
So hold me now, all I do is repeat myself
Over and over
Over and over
Every StoneYou might just have missed the mark
If you're keeping everyone away
Didn't mean to
Didn't want to
Well we might just leave a mark
If you don't give anyone a say
Never want to
Never mean to
Everything To NothingDefinitely not the things that I'm seeing
Did I think I'd see so instantly
I found a note in my grandfather's coat
When I read it out loud I got cold
'Cause he said:
I'm not complaining
Girl With Broken WingsOn the porch, she will sit,
Light another cigarette,
And take a sip of anything that makes it right.
She's outside, trying to hide from the fight just inside,
Where her mom and her dad destroy each other
And on the phone she will call
Every boy, yeah, one and all.
Golden Ticket"Please take care of yourself" was the last thing I said,
Right before that operator made us disconnected.
"Please take care of yourself" was the last thing I said,
Right before that operator made us disconnected.
If you can hear me right now, I've got a formula vow
That swears I'll do my best to figure out this situation.
I can barely breathewhen the dark flood came
we wrapped ourselves inside a dirty blanket
citing different opinions
on whether we should move
when the houses came
they ate up everyone like they were fishes
saying, "come on, come on
I Can Feel A Hot OneI could feel a hot one taking me down
For a moment, I could feel the force
Fainted to the point of tears
And you were holding on to make a point
What's the point?
I'm but a clean man, stable and alone man
Make it so I won't have to try
I'd Rather HaveIn a car on the driveway the conversation's colors paint themselves on canvas
White lies and motivation, we're standing oh so honestly
I'm surprised it didn't hurt your eyes
I think that "I" is the only word in your vocabulary tonight
Those same brown eyes stare straight ahead
And I shut my hand in your door
And I looked around for a lifeline
It's Ok With MeI am a man that does not have a way.
millions of oceans can show me, you say.
we still run around like there's no better way,
and i don't stay.
so last night when you threw the glass on the wall,
you realized the end would be following.
you don't say what you mean when you need me to go.
Jimmy, He WhispersGod knows you're on my mind
I can't try to tell him otherwise
God knows it's only time
Before I break the chain in my eyes
Fear keeps you hiding at night
And the creatures play ball outside
Chances are slim we are right
Keel TimingThunder inside my head, it's rolling
Thunder inside my head, it's just rolling
I'm a dog, you're the cops, I am rolling
Don't let him in your bed, the liar (you'll never feel the same again)
Don't let him in your bed, he is lying (you'll never be the same)
A little more, a little more, he is biting
I was folding, slowly frozen
Change for you
La-Di-DaHer heart beats fast,
Out of sheer pain inside,
Her face is left bruised,
Just from speaking her mind,
She keeps the lights low,
Cuz the neighbors all know,
There's a husband next door,
Who's creating a widow,
Leaky BreaksLeaky holes and fire escapes will Set the evening for tone
You and your holy halo started burning eventually just froze
Sewn into the carpet just trying to thaw out whatever I know
The thermostat it won't go higher not that you or I know
I was drinking heavily
I burst into your bedroom belligerently
Asked her if she's done a thing like stepping out and making a scene
Leave it AloneLeave it alone
We finished this up like an hour ago
So leave me alone
I planted it once, just assumed it would grow
Even though, when I think
Its replicated fear throws me off for years
MightyFeet slipping on the porch to my house
Iced easy, you can track in the snow
Duel gunning, it happened the last time
Stop talking, watch your head on the car
Cat's cradles and hail to the Rat King
Teeth sharpened on our broken bones
Looked straight in the eyes of the hopeless
Never EndingWhen we met eye to eye
With my dangerous denial
I began to go blind
For the sins I've tried to hide
There was not an ending
There was not an ending
There's a stamp you can't hide
It was sewn into my spine
ObstacleWaiting on my obstacle
Am I the last to bother?
Hip bruised blue, your pre-sin tomb
Grasping for the bottom
Daddy's at the hospital
The gator finally got him
Face to face he tricks himself
"It's better now, than autumn"
PensacolaNow I have a nagging flaw I never saw it sneaking up
It wrapped its dirty arms around me
Pockets full of blood
After I had seen the sight I hardly had a choice to fight
A nail snuck out behind the van and it hit me
Through my sweater and my shirt
And when I looked at Michael he heard "I need to be alone"
But when he turned his head I soon corrected "Need to be at home"
Please Don't GoOn the outside of your window
i lie
and make all my plans for the week
i can talk all night long about those that i love
who's strong
and who's weak
in her little black box
See It AgainWhen I got out of my car
I stopped myself and thought about
How unimportant locking the front door was seeming
The only reason that I turned the lock and key
Was to protect the only living thing inside
Other than me
And I'll never get to see it again
Shake It OutShake it out, shake it out
God, I need another round, another round, another round,
another I could feel it now.
I felt the lord in my father's house.
Well, I could see, I could see
standing we were seventeen make it clean
Are you the living ghost of what i need?
are you giving me the best of me.
She Found A LoveWell, she found a love and he found a victim,
he thought it was strange, she knew it was meant to be.
She wore white and he wore the black suite,
she gave him no lies, she gave her innocense.
From day one it seemed she'd wake up from the day dream,
but irony bleeds, seeing as he was a nightmare.
She'd give him the world, he only had to ask her
but controlling yourself is easier when you're sober.
Simple Mathhunter eyes*
I'm lost and hardly noticed slight goodbye
I want to rip your lips off in my mind
And even in my greatest moment doubt
The line between deceit and right now
Simple math it's how our bodies even got here
Sinful math the ebb and flow to multiply
Simple Math AcousticHunter eyes
I'm lost and hardly noticed, slight goodbye
I want to rip your lips off in my mouth
And even in my greatest moment doubt
The line between deceit and right now
Simple math
It's how our bodies even got here
Sleeper 1972When my dad died the worms ate out both his eyes.
His soul flew right up in the sky and I cried myself to sleep.
My mother lies alone on her back at night.
Adding up hours till her demise, she counts herself to sleep.
When my sister finds my body closed up like the blinds,
I tell her I promise its fine, but she cries herself to sleep.
Slow To LearnShe's in the corner dealing the cards
She looks around and round
And slowly puts her poker face on
She's such a tease, a tease
It's just about the one thing she knows
The only way to get the certain thing she already owns
You know she always gets them somehow by the way that she moves
It's how she's reaching the goal
The Girl With Broken WingsOn the porch, she will sit,
light another cigarette,
and take a sip of anything that makes it right.
She's outside, trying to hide from the fight just inside,
where her mom and her dad destroy each other
and on the phone she will call
every boy, yeah, one and all.
They will touch her in all the right places.
The GoldCouldn't really love you anymore
You've become my ceiling
I don't think I love you anymore
That gold mine changed you
You don't have to hold me anymore
Our cave's collapsing
I don't wanna be me anymore
My old man told me
The MansionOh mom, my heart is so black
You find it insane to apologize
for something like that
It won't revolve around me
Or how I feed on almost every inappropriate thing
We know the guy that drew the map
but he's a graveyard away
The MothI want it all, I want it free
But nobody's responding
The last thing that you heard was an inebriated slur
You can crash here all you want, but you don't live here anymore
There's a way out
There's a way in
There's a way out
There's a way in
The Other SideGod damns the ones
Who damn their brothers
On the other side
On the other side
I tried my best to find truth
I keep for treason
What a good reason
The falsehood of center state
The ProcessionSongwriters: Hull, Andy
The procession went smoothly the lights low and dim.
I raised my clear glass and I toast times to heaven
But you're not the same love that I used to know.
Well I'll break this guitar and board up these windows.
Just make sure they know that I won't return.
The RiverI will fight the spirit
With a sword in my side
She found a way out
Crack my rib
Wait to die
I think I know you best when I sleep
I think I know everything
TreesI used to feel some guilt, now I just feel empty
I wasn't supposed to bend, least not this quickly
I wanted to walk
Oh, and you, you wanted to breathe
I wanted to talk
Oh, and you, you wanted to sleep
VirginHeard don't move unless you know someone you can move
And I bruise just like anyone would bruise
And I know we've got a long way to go
I know I've got so far
We built this house with our hands, and our time, and our blood
You build this up in one day to fall downward and rust
You built this house with your hands, and your time, and your blood
Way BackI don't miss you
The way that I did
Rearrange me
Buried again
Now I can't find you
Oh, where have you been?
The opened closet
The terror begins
WindowIf you could roll the window down, I'm feeling crowded, and getting real nauseous.
If you could let the forcefield down...I swear I'm trying to make conversation.
If I could let my hair grow out, then I could prove that I'm not so impulsive.
If I could let my feelings out, then I could show you that I have been thinking that we'd have gotten farther if we never even started at all.
I'll meet you for coffee, let's say four.
That way it's crowded and less complicated.
Let's try and get this over now.
Wolves At NightI could of sworn that I saw you knee bent on the bedside,
Arms stretched like a kite that time will eventually grow.
I'm so sure of it
And I've got a reason, too long, for songs
That tells why your legs and arms are actually able.
Cause I confide in wolves at night
have you seen my baby girl, she's lonely.
