Hi
03:46
|
|||
I have not been holdin’ my breath past the cemetery
Where the dead are buried, no
And my bones are so old they barely hold the skin they carry
It’s really scary, whoa
I made good
I stayed put
I feel alive, I really do
I try
I’m so tired and whatever else they tell me too
I’m pretty blue
Hi
All of my friends
They’ve already been
They’re all dead now
They’re all dead now
Hi
I think about ‘em every now and then
They’re all dead now
They’re all dead now
I heard a call from a spirit in the wall
Echo in the hall, rather sanguinary
You can go but I’ll be here looking in the mirror
Saying bloody Mary, blood Mary, bloody… whoa
I’m quite fond of what’s gone
I wonder what we really had
A lie
Well versed
So I know it could be worse
But still it’s pretty bad
Hi
I get lost in deep thoughts
I try to keep my head down
They’re all dead now
I go clear
I’m right here
If only from the neck down
They’re all dead now
All of my friends
They’ve already been
They’re all dead now
They’re all dead now
Hi
I think about ‘em every now and then
They’re all dead now
They’re all dead now
Life’s short
I’m too bored
The vessel’s only temporary
Imaginary
Whoa
But your light is so bright
The lookers on are visionaries
Luminaries
Counterrevolutionaries
I’ve been crossing my path with la chat noir
Staring from the backyard
Mother Mary, no
Everywhere I go it follows me and so I’m never solitary
It’s extraordinary, oh
I sleep long
I sing songs
I guess I’ll never really know
Why
So lost
I’m brain washed
It’s got me feeling pretty low
Hi
They had a vision
They were on a mission
But they’re dead now
They’re all dead now
Flesh and metal
Messin’ with the levels
Yea they’re dead now
They’re all dead now
All of my friends
They’ve already been
They’re all dead now
They’re all dead now
I think about ‘em every now and then
They’re all dead now
They’re all dead now
Hi

Shape Up, Ship Out
02:39
|
|||
What is lust? What is greed?
And who needs doubt when you’ve friends like these?
So we shared a laugh or two
And we had a time
But what of yours was on the line?
What is trust without sacrifice?
Who remains to be left behind, let down, and betrayed?
I did the work, I sowed the seeds
And they bore the fruit that you found so sweet
And you helped yourself
And you dried the well
That you felt so deep
But I’m emptied out
And I sleep my days away
It’s odd to talk about
Happens much too often now, but…
Had to wake up
Then I slipped out
Had to shape up
Then I shipped out
For heaven’s sake, love
Should I quit now?
On reentry, the break up
Was more than I had been built to withstand
Woke up in my den of dreams
Only real ‘cause I still believe
So I take my drag
And I cut my teeth
Underneath there lives a beast
With wild eyes and rolling feet
I sing the words that set him free
In the desert land of the burning trees
We all know fear and hope
Under pressure and overload
When the ends are low
And you second guess all those roads you chose
Then you hear the crowd…
But who needs love when the money’s out?
Tour’s up, sales are south
Fuck am I doing here anyhow
Had to wake up
Then I slipped out
Had to shape up
Then I shipped out
For heaven’s sake, love
Should I quit now?
On reentry, the break up
Was more than I had been built to withstand

Strong for You
04:05
|
|||
It’s been a while
We’re running out of time
I am receiving your vibrations
I drive for miles
Adjust my dial
But I can feel your signal fadin’
Break me down
Heaven only knows why heavens in a low light now
If you’re holdin’ out
Somewhere out in Chelsea
Maybe you could tell me how
In the night
I search your sky
I try to find our constellation
Is it you, this transmission coming through?
These suspicions leave me shaken
Break me down
Heaven only knows why heavens in a low light now
If you’re holdin’ out
Somewhere out in Chelsea
Maybe you could tell me how
I could make you proud
There’s a place out by the roadside
Take you to the coastline now
If we’re closin’ out
It might be overwhelming
But maybe you could help me out
To the mountains with your ashes
To the valleys with your fire
I want to be strong for you
But I feel so tired
I wake to my heart’s rabid beat
In chilling sweat and twisted sheets
I’ve let my blood for all to see
But where do I go from here
Break me down
Heaven only knows why heavens in a low light now
If you’re holdin’ out
Somewhere out in Chelsea
Maybe you could tell me how
I could make you proud
There’s a place out by the roadside
Take you to the coastline now
If we’re closin’ out
It might be overwhelming
But maybe you could help me out
To the mountains with your ashes
To the valleys with your fire
I want to be strong for you
But I feel so tired
I wake to my heart’s rabid beat
In chilling sweat and twisted sheets
I’ve let my blood for all to see
But where do I go from here

Love Me Drunk
03:56
|
|||
Oh no, I’ve come undone
I don’t know where my mind has gone
I don’t cry like when I was young
When we only said I love you drunk
Oh no, I’ve come undone
When I sleep I speak in tongues
I don’t know what I was thinkin’ of
When I only said I love you drunk
I saw your face last night
When both my eyes were closed
I couldn’t wait last night
I had to drive it home
It was a long dark road
Underneath an open sky
Through a river of grass
Long and wide
For the last ten years
I’ve been so afraid
Of my own goddamn shadow
I’ve been half awake
Oh no, I’ve come undone
I don’t know where my mind has gone
I don’t cry like when I was young
When we only said I love you drunk
Oh no, I’ve come undone
When I sleep I speak in tongues
When we choke we both breathe as one
I only said I love you drunk

The Youth
06:02
|
|||
All I want to do is be a better man
Could I ever really say I’m doing all I can?
And all I want to do is make a better life
Don’t you measure just once
You can’t cut it twice
I’ve been told I think too much about
How we die and how we all grow old
I’ve heard it said I lend to much weight
To days gone by and how they come and go
But I can see the future in my daughter’s eyes
I forget myself when she cracks her smile
My thoughts race and crash in places cast
In dark, in light, the faces masked
In truth, in lies, the sea and sky
They meet, divide, and recombine
The flesh is weak, the mind is loud
Alone, the wild for miles around
The heart that beats with no control
The world begins to shake and fold
You got the youth now, babe
All I can do is do without it
You got the truth now, baby
All I can say is wait it out
I hope that you escape from my disease
All I want to do is what’s right by you
Could I ever really say there’s nothin’ left to prove?
And all I want to touch is what would turn to gold
I would give it all away
If I could make you whole
I’ve been told I think too much about
All the visions that I see in dreams
I’ve heard it said I lend to much weight
To will and fate, and what they both might mean
But I can see the future in my daughter’s eyes
I forget myself when she cracks her smile
My thoughts race and crash in places cast
In dark, in light, the faces masked
In truth, in lies, the sea and sky
They meet, divide, and recombine
The hands that shake, the hunger gone
A clouded mind to prey upon
It wonders when the worst will end
The world begins to break and bend
You got the youth now, babe
All I can do is do without it
You got the truth now, baby
All I can say is wait it out
I hope that you escape from my disease
My thoughts race and crash in places cast
In dark, in light, the faces masked
In truth, in lies, the sea and sky
They meet, divide, and recombine
The hands that shake, the hunger gone
A clouded mind to prey upon
It wonders when the worst will end
The world begins to break and bend
In dark, in light
They meet, divide, and recombine
In dark, in light
They meet, divide, and recombine
You got the youth now, babe
All I can do is do without it
You got the truth now, baby
All I can say is wait it out
I hope that you escape from my disease

So I've Been Told
03:26
|
|||
There’d been a crime
I was a bit disheveled
On the level, if those kids had never meddled
Then I’d still be free
There’s lots of ghosts
Some are old and some are younger than the summer
Some look just like me
I had a call on the line
They had me feedin’ it dimes
And every other coin
I would have sold it my soul
I heard a voice so alive
It shook and shimmied the wires
Nearly free from their poles
Or so I’ve been told
I couldn’t have known
I was under a stone
I was waitin’ to see
You were slippin’ away
I remember the day
You decided to leave
There was somethin’ amiss
In the way that we kissed
You were thinkin’ the same
But life’s been good
And I suppose that I should
Be givin’ someone my thanks
Or so I’ve been told
What you want
What you need
What you think when you dream in your sleep
What you feel
What you desire
What you dream when you sleep in the night
I’m what you want
I’m what you need
I’m what you see when you dream in your sleep
I’m what you feel
What you desire
I’m what you dream in the night
Or so I’ve been told
|

The wind is the trees
The birds have gone to hide
Out on the beach the reeds are reachin’ for the waterline
Batten the hatches
Board up the windows tight
I feel your heart beatin’ quicker under the flickering lights
Water gotten choppy out
Rotten as I’ve ever seen
Took a while to come around
Tell me if I’m too keen
I wanna know how you feel
I wanna know how you feel
I wanna know if it’s real
I wanna know how you feel
The floor boards creak
And the screen door slams
And the chimney howls
And the palm trees dance
And we could dance too
Show me what you’ve been through
Tell me somethin’ heavy
Like the rain up on the tin roof
Tell me if I’m outta luck
Tell me if I’m outta line
Tell me if I’m outta touch
Tell me if I’m outta time
I wanna know how you feel
I wanna know how you feel
I wanna know if it’s real
I wanna know how you feel
A momentary flash
A world awash in gold
You hear the thunder clap
You feel the thunder roll
You know you’re gold too
A hundred thousand volts too
A look could kill
It probably will
To tell the whole truth
Still… still, I wanna know how you feel
I wanna know how you feel
I wanna know how you feel
I wanna know if it’s real
I wanna know how you feel

No More
03:34
|
|||
I used to walk around at night
Even when the rains came in
And I’d always come to you
I used to walk until I’d die
Or I’d fall asleep
I used to dream in color too
Summer days painted in the sun
You gotta heart, break it while you’re young
Break it while you’re young
You don’t want my love no more
You don’t want my love no more
You don’t wanna come my way
You don’t hear a word I’m sayin’
I used to hide inside my mind
Even when the world was new
But I never stayed for long
You know I used to kill my time
Even when the sky was blue
But I never led you on
Summer days painted in the sun
You gotta heart, break it while you’re young
Break it while you’re young
You don’t want my love no more
You don’t want my love no more
You don’t wanna come my way
You don’t hear a word I’m sayin’

Call Me in a Week or So
03:31
|
|||
I lost my way
Illuminate my love
Come a little closer
That’s close enough
Be still
When the heart has a memory
You can feel the energy
Reverberating for days
And I don’t need a dream come true
I come to in the palm of her hand
Somethin’ ‘bout a girl I knew
The spirits remember
Even in this tired town
I should take a trip
Give me time to bleed
I could stand to lose
As much as you could drink
You never came
Not once
I’m a prisoner of somethin’
I don’t even know
Call me in a week or so
I shot my day
Kept my eyes closed shut
Come a little closer
You’re not close enough
Be still
When the soul’s in reflection
The temporal connections
Falter and fail
And I don’t need a dream come true
I come to in a castle of sand
Somethin’ ‘bout a girl I knew
The spirits remember
Even deep in the grave
I should take a trip
Give me time to bleed
I could stand to lose
As much as you could drink
You never came
Not once
I’m a prisoner of somethin’
I don’t even know
Call me in a week or so
I heard a hard truth
We’re all a short song
It only plays once
And then we’re long gone
Out in the yard
The birds don’t know what they’ve got
Where the doors never lock
And time is a friend
I should take a trip
Give me time to bleed
I could stand to lose
As much as you could drink
You never came
Not once
I’m a prisoner of somethin’
I don’t even know
Call me in a week or so
I heard a hard truth
We’re all a short song
It only plays once
And then we’re long gone
There was a time when I felt alive
That hasn’t happened since I can’t remember when
Out in the yard
The birds don’t know what they’ve got
Where the doors never lock
And time is a friend

Channeling the Void
04:17
|
|||
I was on the outside
I was looking in
I’m sure it’s been a long time
You could use a friend
I’ll be for the outcast
I’ll be for the true
Words are like a long knife
Some will run you through
Some words come like a crash through the hull
I was tryna keep from cryin’ in the hospital
Watchin’ you lie in that cold machine
Holdin’ you close so you could fall asleep
And you’d fall asleep
Tryna wrap my head around the worst case
Holdin’ on to hope
Wonderin’ what might be or might’ve been
Mirrors in the smoke
Come hot summer
Come pourin’ rain
Wishes in the well goin’ down that drain
It’s my blood in those veins
I would leave right now if I could take your pain
Some words come like a crash through the hull
I was tryna keep from cryin’ in the hospital
Watchin’ you lie in that cold machine
Holdin’ you close so you could fall asleep
And you’d fall asleep
All of those shoes tied and hanging on the phone line
Wood shake roof, glitter in a light rain
Shimmer in a float glass pane
I’m channeling the void
Come hot summer
Come pourin’ rain
Wishes in the well goin’ down that drain
It’s my blood in those veins
I would leave right now if I could take your pain
Some words come like a crash through the hull
I was tryna keep from cryin’ in the hospital
Watchin’ you lie in that cold machine
Holdin’ you close so you could fall asleep

Sweet
04:29
|
|||
Sweet are the words you speak
When your head is on my chest
Buried just beneath my flesh
In corners unexplored as yet
I know the truth is I could love you best
Sweet are the lies you tell
When you know that I’m a wreck
I could never love you more
A fondness of the highest sort
So much that I could never love you less
I hear the water underneath the bridge
Lapping up against the pilings
And it works its way inside
And it comes alive
The tide is on the rise, it’s climbing
I know I’m wrong for that, my treachery in mind
Trying to align the timing
But I woke alone hear
Left to the mercy of the wildlings
And all the other wild things that the wild brings, oh no
Sweet is the sound
The drawing and release of every breath
Buried in a secret place I haven’t dared to go of late
I know the truth is one I can’t confess
But sweet is the song that dances in the quiet air at night
Fare thee well, like carousels you spin and then you go to dwell
Where memories are made to feel alive
I hear the water underneath the bridge
Lapping up against the pilings
And it works its way inside
And it comes alive
The tide is on the rise, it’s climbing
I know I’m wrong for that, my treachery in mind
Trying to align the timing
But I woke alone hear
Left to the mercy of the wildlings
And all the other wild things that the wild brings, oh no
Sweet are the words you speak
When your head is on my chest
Buried just beneath my flesh in corners unexplored as yet
I know the truth is I could love you best
And sweet are the words you speak
I could love you best

Dues
03:18
|
|||
I do all I can
Took my chance
Broke my cadence
I’m trying to get mine but if you find
The best things in life have a price, you’re mistaken
I’ve come a long, long way
I’ve come a long, long way for you
It’s been a long, long day
Everybody’s gotta pay their dues
I do all I can
I felt it close at hand
Took my stand
Lost my patience
I’m trying to get mine too but mind you
The best things in life have no price you could pay them
I’ve come a long, long way
I’ve come a long, long way for you
It’s been a long, long day
But everybody’s gotta pay their dues
And I do all I can
