You must've thought I lost my mind,
When you saw me set it all aflame
Maybe I'm just getting older?
Settling down and remembering names
I stopped searching to learn new things
Learn all the things I left behind
Knowledge whose bridges I once burned
Because it's easy being young and so refined.

Came Back to Town
04:00
|
|
||
|
Came back to town, with my number jotted down
You forgot just who it was you missed
Then you misspoke, thought I could take a joke
When you told a stranger I was harmless
But I'm not harmless
If there was a war to win you won it,
If there was a crime committed I done it
You still haunt my every step and I only go to sleep
Just to wake up and forget
Now I make my homes, in my enemies bones
Because I haven't had a friend in years
I burrow to keep warm, and when a battle comes along
I scream like seven horns in their ears
In their ears
Old friends aren't the same, everything around us changed
We're getting robbed with our hands in the sky
We can live on the street, just to make our ends meet
It's still cheaper just to die
So reach for the sky.

Sunlight, was bleeding
Bleeding past the branches blooming
Sunlight shining but the wind's still cold
And I'm getting old
Older than the moments passing,
Older but not learning anything
So you, stepped back in
You were awfully sweet to me
So it's hard for me to look you in the eye
But i'll try, but i'll try
But I'm scared of what I'll say
Probably something stupid, but I'll say it anyway
You tried, to run away
Leave me here wondering
Wondering if I'd see you again
Sunlight, still's bleeding
Bleeding like windows were wounds
Wounds that I could never heal.

Rebel Bird
04:06

Let me follow your flight, For another chance to hear your song
You come and go just like the night, Rebel bird don't be gone long
I'm no stranger to your nature, To go alone my legs have known
To stand around leads to cages, You taught a cage is not a home
Rebel Bird sing me your song, Sing to the spring and make it bloom
Rebel bird I can't stay long, Before this town becomes my tomb
Rebel Bird they clipped your wings, And your song became a cry
The sight of you so sad and caught, Your voice pleaded with me to die
I held you tight in my hands, and ran to the woods where you'll die free
There you asked me to swallow you whole, To put your song inside of me
Now your melody is mine, And sings me to sleep wherever I go
One day soon I'll take flight, To sing it for another who goes alone.

Hang Your Head (Demo)
03:16
|
|
||
|
You wanna hang your head, in a crown of gold?
Don't get mad at me, for getting old
And if your only hope, is a knotted rope
Hang your head on my shoulders brother, and let me drive you home.
Just don't touch my radio.
I had a dream last night, all my teeth came loose
As you kicked your chair, free from your noose
And all my words, full of blood and spit,
Could never quite convince you not to quit.
Please don't touch my radio.
And the static is the only thing, that comes in clear
So I turn it up for all the drunks to hear
And I realize I've got nowhere to go
At least my car still has a radio
Sleeping off the heat, with our noses numb
Saving our last dollar, being young and dumb
And calling up, and calling out old friends,
Ain't a healthy way to go home again.
I wish my father never stole my radio
Just. Don't. Touch. My. Radio.

The leaves are changing, and we're changing too
We belong to autumn, and so do you
So before we dry up, and get stuck in the gutter
I've got an idea, to get your leaves a'flutter
Let's do acid, and go apple picking
There's no other option, to our plan we're sticking
We might be confused, by all the colors
I think it's worth it, Just don't tell our mothers
We'll pay admission, get macouns by the pound
And bring them home, and be amazed by the sound
Of our jaws chewing, and mashing loud
It'll be so beautiful, we'll go stare at clouds
When we wake up, there'll be confusion
When we drink our own, apple cider solution
We won't remember that the juice was laced
In a couple minutes, we're back to tripping face

Lover's Fast (Sparse)
02:43
|
|
||
|
For every single thing I've done wrong
I still tried my best to do it right
I don't expect my karma to last very long
All I ask is for it to last the night
Because I've gotta good feeling
That your lover here won't last
I ain't one to beg
You're never one to fast
Cos I've seen you bleed straight through the sheets
You've got nothing else to hide
Maybe something inside you withered away
and that blood was just your pride
Now I hate hearing your name
And I really want to wish you well
But I'm too fucked up to place my words
and you can't seem to hear me from where I fell
And I'm yelling for your lover's name
Just what do you call your dog
Does it feed off your scraps like a starving bitch
Does it smell that I was there at all?
Did I make a mark?
Did you save my scent?
Somewhere in that room
Where you lay your head
When everyone you know is dead and gone,
I'll still be here starving like an alley'd dog.

I swore I caught your scent
Weeks after you left
And it burned and burrowed deep in my skull
Becoming a memory with nowhere to go
So I dug my fingers in the dirt
And I scraped and bleed till my hands hurt
I came upon an old toy
A piece of plastic I abandoned as a boy
And I remember how I begged, and for what?
Now I don't beg anymore.
Because I remember everything I begged for
I either never got it or now it's gone.
I survived without either one.
Now, you've come all this way
Just for a goodbye without having a word to say.
And you buried your head deep in my chest
I said that "it's alright, you know I always liked you best"
As I watched your wheels roll away
A smile came to me as I started say
"I swore I caught your scent, weeks after you left

Little Dove
03:44
|
|

Why's your life so sad little dove?
Does your mother not love you, does do your daddy do drugs?
Well I do, I love you
I do, drugs.
There's a million moments I swore I'd never forget
But when you kissed my lips, you know it felt foreign
Are you leaving forever? again?
I said: "I heard you fell and scraped your knee"
You turned and said far worse was in for me
So I started counting every stair
Waiting to stumble when one ain't there.
You got me so scared I started to crawl
Because when you stay low, you know you can never fall
I keep losing
Track of the days
But I still remember the one you went away:
You were wearing that expensive looking gown
And assured me "Don't worry, I'll make sure you burn, before you drown

Fools are the Few
03:58
|
|
||
|
The holes in my clothes are reminders for every road we used to walk
Every tear, was a story for every fall we had that year
I still like your smile, reminds me of reaching home after walking miles
And it makes my legs sore
Last night I turned off all the lights, and turned my back to the moon
I saw no shadow, only you
The night's been treating me strange of late, I wait for dawn to growl me awake
I don't trust my dreams, only you
Fools are the few, who howl at the moon
And claim it as their own
A man drowned in drink, is a simple beast
Who'd burn a bridge just to find a home
And the moon don't even know his name.

How Faust Failed
02:59
|
|
||
|
I never started a race without shooting my own foot
I guess I run a little quicker with some blood in my boot
and you're right not to trust me, and I wouldn't if I were you
You should never trust a man with a limp, and blood in his shoe
The men they call me sinner, and the women call me saint
I guess that's because I'm a few things most men ain't
The preaches call me lucifer and the drunks call me christ
I wouldn't be in this position without taking both of their advice
So I finally gave in and fell down into the leaves
And the devil picked me up and I sold him my soul for unbruised knees
He said when i die, i'll be burning down in hell
But the jokes on him, cause I ain't got no soul to sell.
