Lost 03:54
Just across the way Where the train goes Late night It carries dreams Into the steam And then they take flight An iron horse, her iron ores'll lay the cars low The embers bright, they echo flies behind the jars glow I had a sense I'd been misplaced Set adrift, led astray I didn't know which way to go I was lost when you found me Lost when you found me Runnin' through the wild All the while in a sound sleep But just then I heard a whisper in the wood I cannot lie I would've kissed her if I could I gotta be smart Cut my loss and restart Keep guard I heard you had a weak heart I heard you had a weak heart Out beyond the break Beneath the waves In the deep blue Down below The indigo begins to bleed through I heard a voice beyond the noise that poisons dry land There in the fold the dark and cold were holding my hand I had the sense I'd been embraced Taken home, shown the way Oh, what a sight for weary eyes

Sirens 03:16
Once you hear the siren's song It'll haunt you all night long Go that way you're bound to pay your toll It's the devil in disguise And every time you tell your lies It takes a few more pieces of your soul I'm not a sinner As it goes, I'm no saint I sleep through the winter Lie in wait until the rain dries The fatal flaw Within us all We try to tame fire Light me up and let me go The way they tell it You'd forget it's never all bad Just don't expect for them to catch you When you fall back It's awful late You think you'll make it through the tall grass? Set me up and let me go Might be a dreamer As it goes, I'm not alone so I know recourse Is never more Than just a stones throw You want enlightenment Start lightenin' your own load Pull the pin and let me go When dogs are sleepin' You'd do best to let 'em lie now Don't be compelled To delve in wells Already dried out You want direction Start by gettin' off of my cloud Cut me loose and let me go It's all a prison As it goes, I'm on the outside The crystal walls I long to leap They keep me bound tight You bate your breath Or better yet I'll take it outright I paid my debt so let me go Your footing's weak You put your teeth Before your tongue now They gave you rope enough They'd hoped you'd never come down The hours east As shadows creep Across the sundial Steal a kiss and let me go The sirens sing a song that'll put you to a true test Can't you see it's just the devil in a blue dress Wolf comin' with her sheep clothes on But she don't mean to keep those on

Call me when you come thru town Maybe we could pick things up I got a lot of thoughts to drown Maybe I could push my luck I see you in my dreams sometimes But I could never tell you why I could never take you there Maybe I could get you by Whatever you want Whatever you need Whenever you call Whatever you please If you move a little closer I wouldn’t think twice How could I say no to those Bedroom eyes Call me when you come thru town Maybe we could make things right Tell me how I let you down Maybe you could stay the night I find you on my mind sometimes But I don’t ever tell you when Maybe I could let you go Maybe you could let me in Whatever you want Whatever you need Whenever you call Whatever you please I couldn’t tell you no If you came around tonight When the lights begin to dim I’m in your bedroom eyes Call me when you come thru town Maybe you could hear my song Tell me how I broke your heart Tell me how it made you strong Tell me what you’re up to now Tell me why it’s been so long Maybe I could turn back time And you could say those days are gone Out in the dark Against the ropes I felt her lovin’ overcome me Then the levy broke She pulled me close And whispered something low “I don’t mind walkin’ the coals Lightnin’ strikes Once or twice You and I should know I don’t mind walkin’ the coals”

Do you really wanna walk that wire You'll hit your stride but Everybody tires, I know And every time you toe that line You move a little closer Any minute over now Do you really wanna break my fall Could be the last one First of many, all I know But every time I touch your sky It's something like the sunrise I gotta come back down So when I'm up Or stuck in my rut Trust that all I really need's your love And it's enough Feelin' your touch I gotta come back down Do you really wanna go that road You'll find it winding In and out of sight, I know And every curve is serpentine Tryna work your weakness Quick to leave you bleedin' out Do you really wanna feed that fire I'm on a slow burn We could turn the lights down low But every time you get me high It's something like the sunrise I gotta come back down Hypnotized by the moonlit sky And the sound of the waves on the sand Her shoulders bare Salt wind in her hair I was hypnotized by the moonlit sky And the sound of the waves on the sand Her shoulders bare Salt wind in her hair Hypnotized by every strand

Love 02:59
Everyone you love Everyone you love Gave you all they had But even that was not enough You turned and walked away You turned and walked away You knew that you'd be back You'd have to think on what to say I never left I never said goodbye I'll only say goodnight And in the morning when you rise You'll open up your eyes And I'll be right here by your side Makin' sure you feel love Every time you hurt Every time you hurt People see you're down And come to kick you in the dirt And every single time You think that shit could not get worse The hypocrites'll kick a verse Like they're preachin' in the church I'll never curse I'll never lie Be the one to hold her Give a shoulder when she cries Make you smile 'til I die Be the sun to light your sky Makin' sure you feel love Every lie you tell Every lie you tell You're putin' up your trust for sale When the boy cried wolf And ain't nobody wanna help If you lose a little pride It might be just as well, yea I got a bridge that could never burn I'll be your tether When the weather wanna turn If you ever feel alone I'll be there to guide you home Makin' sure you feel love Everywhere you go Everywhere you go Bones been soaked From the pillar to the post All the reelin' from the road And now you're feelin' like a ghost 'Cause ya damn near broke Everything you hold close now I do believe you could use a break In the middle of the day I'll deliver your shade And if you ever feel afraid I'll be there to keep you safe Makin' sure you feel love

Hookie 03:26
Thought she was goodie-goodie Then she say she playin’ hookie I been hookie too I been to the graveyard I been to the loop Spray-paintin’ on the freight cars I been to the lime pit Down around the way But it don’t matter where I go When I get home my momma say She say “Hey! Boy, move the coop, yea Bird need to root See the water’s gone dry And there ain’t no food” Tell ‘em “Tote it on along There, under the shade tree Don’t wanna tan yer hide So don’t make me” I been hookie too I been to the road blocks I been to the roof Of the inn out at the boat docks I been to the power lines Up around the bend But it down matter where I go When I get home my ma lament She say “Hey! Boy, move the coop, yea Bird need to roost See the water’s gone dry And there ain’t no food” Tell ‘em “Tote it on along There, under the shade tree Don’t wanna tan yer hide So don’t make me”

Rider 05:02
I’m a rider on a wave The never meets shore I’m sailin’ through the straights But I’ll never reach my port It’s important you know that I Truly do Love you when I can I surely know that it doesn’t always show But our love is more the lion than the lamb I’m a rider on a wave That never meets shore I’m comin’ ‘round the cay But I’ll tether never more It’s important you know that I Truly do Love you when I can I surely know as though it’s written into stone That our love is more the lion than the lamb A lion and a rider on a wave Oh, away they go A sinking in the soul You’re losing all control Forgotten in the cold Away they go I’m a rider at the gate But I’m only passing through Then I’m off to meet my fate In the shadow of the moon It’s important you know that I Always will Love you when I can It only blooms when I let it spread it roots But it spoils if the soils made of sand She toils for her rider at the gate

I’m living in my head Living in my head I’m burning up alone And a million miles away A million miles away I’m tryna make in home I hear the echoes sing I hear the echoes sing It’s darkest near the dawn But even in this dark Even in this dark A bird is made for song I’m tilting at the mills Tilting at the mills I’m dropping out of phase I’ve come to wake the dead Come to wake the dead Before the spirits fade I feel the earthen pull I feel the earthen pull But it’s not where I belong The sun is made to shine The sun is made to shine And a bird is made for song I’ve hit my clip On a trip As the crow flies Heaven knows I’m alone But I don’t mind I’ll be home To atone For the long days Soon enough my love While I’m gone Sing a song To the night sky Mind the thieves When you sleep Keep your eyes wide I’ll be home To atone For shortfall Any day my love When I was younger I’d sit underneath the thunderclouds Feel the water hit my skin and then I’d wonder how They dropped their proffer but it offers little comfort now I’ve checked my heading I am destine for the underground Now that I’m older I’ve been shouldered with an albatross For auld lang syne, I knew in time our paths were bound to cross Nobody makes it to the end of life without a loss You’ve gotta keep an even keel or you’ll be found awash

Spider 03:26
Why would the wicked Wanna break my stride I could forgive But not a day goes by That I don’t think about it I’ve come to never doubt it Runnin’ off at your mouth It’s kin to livin’ in a powder keg So get me lit I’m tryna ease my mind I curse the burdens that I leave behind In a world of violence and hate Where cruel indifference pervades I show compassion Imagine Tell me what you come for Spider at the front door What kind of pain Would you visit on me now Another swan song You’re never gone long You build your prison Then you wish it to the ground The idle mind’s the vice that I find Hard to kick My heart’ll skip And then I start to slip The sense of melancholy It creeps And slowly crawling It seeps Into the innermost Something’s always interposed The fear of failure perhaps The air of purpose I lack My disposition is a ruinous affliction I am inconsequential, I know My very nature is rote The fallibility Futility

Line to Die 03:05
Don’t you wanna feel like all the other people When they’re swallowing their pills And they all go fall asleep ‘til in the morning when they rise And they all get back in line And they all get back in line to die Don’t you wanna love like all the other people When they surface in their lust And they sink into the deep ‘til there is nowhere left to hide And they all get back in line And they all get back in line to die I am the one The scum The everlasting ill I know the clouds are shrouds Without a lining but still I got a whole in my heart That I’ve been dyin’ to fill Ain’t nothin’ worked for me yet Won’t stop me tryin’ Fuck it Don’t you wanna live like all the other people With the filth that they forgive And the secrets that they keep, still they could never tell a lie And they all get back in line And they all get back in line to die Don’t you wanna cry like all the other people When they’re swallowing their pride And they’re hungry so they eat ‘til there is nothing left inside And they all get back in line And they all get back in line to die I am the one The scum The everlasting ill I know that heaven’s a farce Born of fatuity still The fools among us believe They’ll be relieved of their guilt Ain’t nothin’ worked for them yet Don’t stop ‘em tryin’ does it? Don’t you wanna bleed like all the other people For the freedom of your greed It’s the beast that you will feed ‘til there is nothing left to buy And they all get back in line And they all get back in line to die They were waiting in line to die Waiting in line

Fire and ice Fire and ice These are the gods that made me Pray if you like Pray if you like But nobody’s comin’ to save me Are you gonna weigh my soul Hold it there in your hands Are you gonna let me fall Through your fingers like sand I was on the outside Bottle full of bad news Must’ve took a wrong turn It doesn’t matter Saw you in the stardust You were lookin’ hard up Talkin’ to the straw man Torn and tattered Are you gonna weigh my soul Hold it there in your hands Gild all the lilies with your fool’s gold I’ll believe when I can Heaven devoid Heaven devoid Who can I trust to forsake me The devils are coiled The devils are coiled The snakes lie in wait in the cane reed Are you gonna save my soul Faults and all that I am Are you gonna carry me home Strike me down where I stand Weighed and found wanting Searching for something Weighed and found wanting I was on the backslide Falling down the same hole Bought myself a big gun You can have it Saw you on the frontlines Shoutin’ at the sunrise Talkin’ in your code tongue I couldn’t crack it

Monsters 03:01
I tend to run dry Coming untied I do the best that I can Not to lie to my friends I like the sunshine Try to be positive I say some dark things But I’m not tryna be grim Been spendin’ all day Wishin’ you were around Fuck your call back You should’ve picked up I’m goin’ blind here I’m on overload I’m under-impressed I think I’ve run out of luck I run my own game Lose my own game I pay the bills So what if I’m a little behind It’s not a contest I make my own art Nobody wants it but hey I’ve got a lot on my mind I was a young boy Out in New Orleans I met a girl I could love I should’ve gave her a kiss Out in the streetlight I took my pass I saw that look in her eye The kind of look that you miss I’m not a mean guy But I’ve had them green eyes When I look into the abyss I feel my gaze is returned I fight my monsters I wonder what I’ve become Perhaps a monster to some Count it among my concerns Don’t wanna get high I just wanna be high Throw on my dress shoes And cut up a rug I’ll be your workhorse But I’m sleepin’ real late I gave all my money up To these leaches suckin’ my blood I was a young boy Hiding in a ravine The fairest face I had seen Was swimming deep in my mind It’s childish stuff But just to look was enough I wrote your name down At least a thousand times
