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

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

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

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

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’

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

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
