- A Partial Print
Cold as the water
The water where I was found
Risen from routine
Moving upstream
Without a sound
Closer to home
If home is the lasting claim
That living through the eyes
- Albano Apparel
off with our heads
they wanna see blood
we come down with a heavy and hollow thud
they'll work their way through all of our bones
a generation of people throwing stones
we'll never see this place again
i will see to it
- Born in the USA
Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up
Born in the u.s.a., I was born in the u.s.a.
I was born in the u.s.a., born in the u.s.a.
- Crushed by a crowd
trying to stand up
if only my body and my blood approves
sliding through gravel fields
i will clear the air tonight
trying to figure out
how i can make these limbs twist and turn
somewhere inside of me you will find
a translucent light
- End Times
Picking through the bones
of a sentimental kiss
and an end-all conversation
Laughing at your own jokes
in the last couch
you ever thought you'd buy
Me, I never could stand
the quiet or the discord
- Functions
Head on to the other side
No one will stand us by
Dismantle me tonight and bury my arms right
Here on the other side
Don't mind the rising tide
Watch as I gently lead the both of us astray
Reach for the children first
- Good Thing
There in the half-light
a few drinks in
The way your fingers move
across your skin
I fall in love all over again
never felt so free
Some day I'll finally
- Last Night They Had to Carry Me Home
all things considered
I feel quite alright today
I don't remember where I was
I don't remember who I was with
I shouldn't have had that last dance
I shouldn't have had that last drink
and I'm sorry for whatever I did to make you leave
- Like My Very Own Blood
I promise you better things from now on
I'm gonna love you like my own son
no more then me that you use to meet out here
at night I swear, I swear
- Like You Said
It's cold in here, the music is too loud
I hate this place, I hate this crowd
Should leave, I guess, I know I should
'Cause it feels just like you said it would
The music stops and in the blink of an eye
She tells me to give it a try
Could stay, I guess, I know I could
- Nixon
This is how it feels to be special
I wanted to kill you the next day
I feel bad I feel bad I feel better
I wanted to kill you the next day
I say twice I say thrice I say four times
I wanted to kill you the next day
I feel sane I feel sane have I lost it?
- Not True, Devil Girl
the sun stood high when we took a moment
outside in her mother's backyard
she looked at me in just the right way
felt me up just as well
with her hand on my thigh and all
I guess she could feel me getting all aroused
but when I came I didn't see her face I saw yours
- Nova Lee
The night is young but not as young as me
We've got plenty of hours to drink before we
Throw our last coins down the wishing well
I haven't got anything left to sell
Hey you know
I don't feel like coming down
Hey you know
- Odessa
Move your hands
If move them you must at a steady pace
Ever so lightly
Wander off accordingly
Leave not a single trace
Close your eyes
If close them you must momentarily
- Oh Horatio
Oh Horatio
I met Horatio five years ago
Outside of munich on the way to rome
It was 45 degrees and I could barely breathe
He waved and said hey come sit by me
I was scared at first cos when he spoke it wasn't very soft
He told me about the life long love of his heart
- Out on a Limb
put on your shoes and your emerald coat
the one all worn that you say you love
bring a scarf it might be cold
how 'bout a late night picture show
my love, my love, can't you see I'm out on a limb
we're eating peaches by the half
- Pilots
raise the chandelier light the candels dear i feel your breath so near i feel your breath here let's burn it to the ground this is what i've found that it's you child that it's you child down this worn down trail we run although so frail oh yes we must prevail oh yes we must previal where are we now? we are pilots
- Runaways
Break it down in bits
Don't suger-coat, don't overthink
Take a deep breath, hold it in, let it out and take it from the start
What went down at the Double R
but hey you look me in the eyes when you talk
I swear I didn't mean any of it
She made me do it, it's true I'm innocent
- Sam, as in Samantha
Leaving for work monday morning
It is time for a new dawning
Sitting around every day
Amounts to nothing and there's no way
I'm doing this for another ten years
That's one of my worst fears
Oh sam
- Send The Bill
A brief conversation, a six hour drive
The hell where you've been showing round the eyes
A life packed in boxes from a life lived in bars
As we pull out you show me the scars
You fell off the wagon, ran through a wall
Jumped off a mountain, that hard a fall
You sleep for hours finally still
- So Demure
Let this hurricane of defence
Welcome you with open arms so dense
Do you ever contemplate
Whatever happened to your fate
Let this water work of arrogance
Shower down on all of us
Why are you so tense
And I never would have taken you
- Ten Minutes To Take Off
break it down for me
what is this thing?
growing inside of me
through my bones
i feel it here at night
doubling in size
and years to come from now
i'll wonder if it's gone
- The Less You Have to Carry
something in me
has ceased to be
it ruptured irrevocably
thank god it's internally
i feel as of late
that my trait
is mainly to degenerate
- The Loyal
high strung and poorly hung
i think we're much too young
i hear a sound from your left lung
a melody so beautifully sung
sarcasm spread your wings
what sweet joy it brings
"come home" the whole town sings
they will greet us like kings
- The More You Give
Breathe in, tell your children
They will be safe from harm
Breathe out
Tell yourself
There's no reason for alarm
The more you give
The less you have to carry
- The War Between Us
there is a war between us
I wanna give you something
there is a force that drives us
there is a war between us
I wanna build you something
there is a force that binds us
- Trails Of Spit
Take some comfort in this
We keep our records straight
No need to glare at your watch
Cause there ain't never no stalling us
We're easy to please
If only you would apply yourself
Tell us all about the wonderful things
You could've done
- Trust Falls
These old streets all have a history
And years from now they will tell
Tall tales about the mystery
Of how we did trust falls
But never fell
Yes we did trust falls
But never fell
- Warmth
this isn't love this is shelter
and I wanna tell you that tonight
I feel warm
here in my head
I feel warm
here in my chest
I feel warm
- When I Was A Kid
21 Sep 2016
sudden
I met her last year at a rockabilly show
The bands weren't very good
But they never, they never really are
Sometimes you get in the mood
- Wires
Ricochet love at the fire brigade
when you took me in
with a lovers urgency
waiting forever to leave
but you waited for me
You no longer love just to be in love
So you hold it in
