She's a pretty escape
She's a pretty mistake
I'm Broke and I fucking hate California
Now I'm alone and I fucking hate California
Get Out!
Well I can't cause I'm broke
I fucking hate California

Bitter Pill
03:01
|
|||
|
They say you have no home here or in time and space
I thought I saw you
It's been said that death is to see your face
I know I wanna
The mountains fall, the sea parts way
All creation follows
The damned fuel the fire while the old law has passed away
Through the son the father
Fall on 40 knees, Kill what isn't me
I can hear you calling, I can see me falling
There is but one name and it is mine
Life eternal for those who know your name
Through the son the father
A God of love who sees all and knows no change
Feed the fire or follow
It's a bitter pill to swallow
A God of love to follow
Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
No Pain, No Sorrow
Fuel the fire or follow

I could take you to the city
I could take you to church
God you're so pretty
I can make this work
It's so hard to keep it steady
I may have crossed a few lines
God, if you're ready
I just need a little time
One way or another we pay
Watch your hopes and dreams get blown away
One way or another we pay
A good death is hard to find
I could sign the treaty
I could give up the purse
God you're so pretty
This is really gonna hurt

Rope
02:56
|

|
So you've got you some rope
And this feeling there is hope
That you'll be feeling just fine
At the end of the line
So you've got you some dope
And this feeling there is hope
Soon you'll be feeling just fine
That's how you keep it in line
Sadie, I'm feeling fine and I've addressed it
Tell me what's on your mind
Maybe we'll be just fine cause I've repressed it now
So you've got you some rope
And this feeling of home
Soon you'll be feeling just fine
At the end of the line

Save Face
03:32
|

Save some face
Get some sleep the hour's getting late
Keep the faith
Change your name
Short of breath
You've lost your eyes with no will to fight
Change your ways
Take the day
In this grace, I see your face
But can I break these chains
Save your breath I've already gone
And forgotten how to pray
Cause if I go I don't want to go alone
Don't look away
A fool fears truth and hides in shame
Open your eyes
Change your fate
Save some face
Speak the truth, the hours getting late
Raise your voice
Stake your claim
In this grace, I see your face
But I've forgotten how to pray
Save what's left, let go of what is gone
And look for love in everything
Cause when I go I don't want to go alone

Trailer Queen
02:53
|
|||
|
The Hawkeyes half empty
You ain't touched the whiskey
The boats outta gas
Guess that's too much to ask
You're my trailer queen
I'm you're trailer James Dean
I wanna shoot your daddy
And write a happy ending
You bitch about your mother
For me, there is no other
You're my trailer queen
I'm you're trailer James Dean
Somewhere the sun is shining
The path is high and winding
So pack your things lets go
We've got work in the morning
You're my trailer queen
I'm you're trailer James Dean

Come Away

Come Away
I'm alone in my old ways
It's safe to say
Everything you know has chains
Just Today
I can bruise my own face
I'm not alone you see
The earth will shake and part the sea
Punched the ticket, Took the ride
Gave it all now nothing's mine
The curtain falls, the dream dies
A heart breaks
Old wounds from yesterday
I can't complain
I've found comfort in the pain
Who to blame
For a carried cross maybe in vain
You're not alone you see
Strike the rock until it bleeds
Punch the ticket, Take the ride
It's much colder out of time
The door is open, come inside
It's much colder out of time
The curtain falls, the dream dies

You
04:58
|

|
August 4th I've paid no rent
Is it ignorance or innocence I've lost somewhere along misfortune
Ambition turns grey and old
Like fallen leaves and stories told
The colors aren't so bright, You know it's true
You hear the trains pass every day
This little town's not far away from everything you love, you know it's true
You labor for reason and rhyme
Distractions to pass the time
To find the peace in me that left with you
It's You, It's all up to You
The seed is sown you cannot change
It's now clear you've lost everything, That ever meant a damn to you
The path is narrow, The way is steep
My shoes are worn, My will is weak
The stars aren't so bright you know it's true
It's You, It's all up to You
Well it comes as no surprise
When the sun begins to shine
I've forgotten yesterday
When you look at me and say
It's You, It's always been You
It's You, Always has been You

Lovely Story
02:51
|

|
Take Care, Take a picture
You sure look nice, Don't wanna forget you
Come on in the water's fine
Bloodbuzz Distortion
Sit back, Stay in line
The road is paved before you
Don't fret, ease your mind
All you need is what I told you
Life is easy in the sunshine
Settle in, Do your time
Go to sleep, Dream sweet, Sweet dreams
What a lovely story
Raise a glass this is cause for celebration
Wired skies sing songs of revelation
We're all thirsty first of all
Keys left hanging in a swinging door
What a lovely story
I told the truth
Now I've lost you
This burden of proof
It'll cost you
Draw a line in the sand
Take heed lest we fall into temptation
Plant a seed, Take your life
Wolf of many faces
We're all thirsty, first form
Toilet's overflowing on the floor
What a lovely story
A lovely, lovely story

Withdraw
04:21
|
|||
|
When we're together it feels so good
When without you I'm fiending
You're my bad habit
How I crave that feeling
You haven't come around lately
You're not responding, I'm going crazy
I can't see straight, My hands shake
So why withdraw your love
I can never get enough
So why withdraw your love from me
Why withdraw your love from me
I start to get agitated, This time without you
Takes it's toll
My reckless behavior
I'm spiraling out of control
It's a dire diagnosis
I'm developing a psychosis
You're to die for and I want more
I will always want more
So why withdraw your love
I'm an addict, you're my drug
So why withdraw your love from me
Why withdraw your love from me
Just tell me I'm not your fix
I'll believe it
Surely you felt something too
Just one hit leaves me weak in the knees for you

Crowded Streets
05:01
|
|||
|
All I want, I fear is gone
All I love, Just can't hold on
It seems the tide has pulled away
The blistered sun brings a new day
So Lord guard my heart from causing pain
Guide my walk through these crowded streets
When all is done, How I long to hear you speak
Well done, Now enter your rest
