I can tell you what you wanna hear And I can fake this for another year, but I would rather die And I’ve been sitting on this fence so long And spent so very many nights alone I am not surprised But hey You get to numbing up your insides Ran to the river but the river ran dry Heard your calls and heard your cries Real sympathy’s so hard to find Tiny shards of human legs and human arms And eyes that never see the stars They’re fading in and out of focus Bathed in rum just like the day that we begun But I will never be the one And you’re too comfortable to notice But hey You get to numbing up your insides Ran to the river but the river ran dry Heard your calls and heard your cries Real sympathy’s so hard to find Hey You get to plugging in your insight Throw out the logic cause it never felt right On your own for the only time And real sympathy’s so hard to find

Slam 03:42
Go now Slam your head into the clouds Slow drown Only I could drag you out Float now Without us bricks weighing you down Grown out of all desires left lying around I know that I can fake it I know that I can make this alive Dumb shit Hippie conduit for sale My wits Left to chase your paper trail Every little monster’s gotta feed This one’s been devouring me I have never moved at slower speeds As when a heavy heart’s in need Hear me I know that I can fake it I know that I can make this alive Never been so frightened by the sound Of a spark dying out now Safe to say that i won’t get around It’s time to put it in the ground Believe you me I know that i can fake it I know that I can make this alive

Desole Pt. I 01:26
Bones that bend in me Form a late apology  I wont deny that you and I Were something any longer But I can't live to be A stain on your biography Lets wash this clean, this widow's dream I'm sure I could try harder Echoes and vagrants Saw you off at the station Cause there were demons of my own creation Now coming out
5.
You were robbed then But I'm alone, so now we’re even You’re out there in the Paris air But you can’t stop bleeding How could I have hurt you Ocean eyes that turned the sky blue The blue it fades as day becomes the night You'll spin above my head like passing satellites Shirt up round your head Next the dirt became your bed Old friends of mine, so serpentine They get what they want I heard the siren scream Hid the whiskey by the stream Of all the dumb things I've done, felt my legs run It was miles before I stopped them How could I have hurt you Ocean eyes that turned the sky blue The blue it fades as day becomes the night You'll spin above my head like passing satellites Perfect porcelain try your best to let me in I'll hold you high until I die and never let you shatter It doesn't matter It doesn't matter

Blues and blacks have inched their way back Past the sounds I know And a light too warm to hold I’ve heard everyone here was made of stone And I’m a liar cause you’ll think I’ve grown All the wants you’d ever show Trapped in a firm and frantic hold Well I just did what I was told And classicism turned cold But here’s the new modern machine To keep em kitschy keep em clean And I despise the way it breathes Inside of you and sleeps in me Working to improve So trim the sides and get the glue No more hiding from the truth That all I want is to be new So I will ride into the sun Ok now Annie grab your gun Cause as fast as I can run from you It’s not as fast as you can shoot It’s not as fast as you can shoot me down You’re a treasure in the desert You’re the water I’ve found Now that everybody’s looking There’s just one in this town That’s so kindly and so coveted We all wanna dance But I’m to comfortable with compromise I don’t stand a chance

et al. 03:46
Well we all stay stuck Like it’s gonna make a difference There’s blood in the kitchen From a knife she caught I just shrugged it off Gotta chew a way out I’ve been living on the inside Cocoon There’s always room Room for two Swinging from the balcony Waving her goodbye Just targets at the gallery They never move in time Everybody shake hands We can do it at a distance And never have to listen We’ll just turn that off Put words where they belong And as our bodies take shape I can see that I’m an artifact From the life that quickly passed Through her fingertips Give your guts another twist Tell me am I missed Swinging from the balcony Waving her goodbye Just targets at the gallery They never move in time In this room There’s only you and me And our hundred thousand frailties Well I failed to read the punchline Can’t laugh this off At all

Again 05:12
I think we’re getting closer to the end Cause you only want to talk about the thoughts I try to fend off And there’s only one way out And we haven’t found it yet But my head’s forever underground Cause that’s my safest bet Again Again I’m left in waiting yeah Again Again I’m left in waiting yeah Well we can’t stay close to anything that’s good Cause boredom once was comfort Once was shock and it’s all destruction Red eye, red eye The day’s won’t let me hold you You stay quiet, refined As I scream into a deafened divide Again I’m left in waiting yeah Again I’m left in waiting yeah Every misstep frozen in my mind If I could thaw them Have no worries dear I will be gone and soon forgotten When they say forever all it means is till you’re ready Trust me Again Again Again I’m left in waiting yeah Again I’m left in waiting, waiting

Creepy Jr. 04:58
Can't remember why I tried When you're younger  You've got no thoughts for grand design We're still alive inside my mind And that might be the only place I'll see you I had a girl who was always right And I wouldn't argue Cause thats a poor fistfight to lose This year the fish they just won't bite And all my friends have gotten bored  Of bad news For those who chose to stay Devoured by this old driveway tonight Lord I’ll let myself in Each night brought a brand new thrill When the clock hit two she'd flip the switch From stun to kill My breath's now short my body's still And she'll ask how trash like me gets through To heaven Lord I’ll let myself in I'm talking to you kid Let's lay it all out on the table If the bridge holds through today That doesn't always mean its stable While your head still works ok Find someone ready, willing, able To never sin  Don't give trouble any chance to begin

Jane 04:03
There’s a stranger in Jane’s room They always come and go like that It’s how she makes her entertainment Cause for a moment two is one and one is everything Till she opens up her eyes And has to face it Just before dad left town He liked to toss the girls around She’s not yet found a good replacement And Danny King had said one time That he could tell just from her eyes How many times she’d been snowblind It takes one to trace it Lay down Jane lay down You can’t talk, you can’t open your mouth Lay down Jane lay down Or just get out, just get out Another body in your room I’m locked out on the porch again Can’t see his face but then I hear you And in the wake the drying clay Of all your faults and fresh mistakes Well I can’t blame you For wanting to be wanted like you do Lay down Jane lay down You can’t talk, you can’t open your mouth Lay down Jane lay down Or just get out, just get out
13.
My back is turned To stop the worst from happening But words are words And when they’re yours I’m listening You say what you wanna say It’s serious You’re just afraid To try me on for size You don’t know A swift escape A bitter taste left in my mouth I went outside To clear my mind of what came out You say what you wanna say It’s serious You’re just afraid To try me on tonight You don’t know I had a dream it wasn’t you You say what what you wanna say It’s serious You’re just afraid to try me on tonight You don’t know I had a dream it wasn’t you

Danny King 07:16
Looks up and there’s a hole in the sky He swear’s he wants to please us He just hasn’t learned how Clean living was something to try So we picked him up A few blocks from the court house If there’s a cage it remains with his wife Nineteen years man are you serious? First foray into the sexual life Come on David, she’s on her period Looks up at another hole in the sky He’ll always wanna please us But he’s never gonna learn how Mama’s been trapped in a diamond mine and Don’t look cause your sister’s on stage well I don’t ever wanna be the one To let you slip away and Mouth full of marbles When you say you’re gonna change I’m singing oh Home This is one of the few times Where I’m not confident you’ll make it And this is one of the few times Where I’m not sure you’re coming home
