Long Legs (prelude)
Born so tall, Your legs meant to fall and so you fell my love
So you learned how to crawl
and you crawled right back into my door
Long before, your eyes opened wide
a song came to me before your legs got tired
and a devil stared you straight in the face
I got this sickness burrowed in my bones
without it i just wouldn't feel at home
can you check in on me tonight?
I hate the moon, it pulls me out of tune
Oh what a fool I've become to think that someone
Owes me love.

Domesticated Weather
Your life would make a better storm than a story
Because your love is like a natural fury
Your words like a downpour clean my wounds
Even if your fingernails drew the blood
Everytime a black cloud comes to town
It's like i bought your book and read it aloud
You've been so selfish this whole summer
and washed the sunshine right outta my eyes
Maybe I misjudged you
Maybe I done you wrong
Was it the way that I held you
Was it the way that I wrote this song
My love is like a song I've never sung
I show it no attention to anyone
My words are like a sleepy sunday breeze
And are forgotten as soon as they're gone
But maybe you weren't so cruel
Maybe you deserved more
Just promise me when a breeze goes by
You won't just let it pass through your door.

Never Break Even

Dear dad I'm broke, dear mom i'm dead
I've wasted my youth, chasing songs down inside my head
I started using my hands, as my only tool
To bore into my skull
And steal anything useful
And you, you were a welcome distraction
And you, you were a admirable foe
Oh and I, I left you at my most wasteful
And You never ever ever thought I'd let you go
No you never ever ever thought i'd let you go
No you never ever ever thought i'd let you go away, but I got away, no you've got a way, we both got away
There's one song in my mind, That keeps on repeating
It may be true, but it don't move me
It's a frequency, That digs in worse than teething
If I can't break free, I'll never break even.

Survival Ain't Fit
I wonder what gray looks like, under a spotlight
Would we reflect, would we even show?
Or would we just burn into ash, into dust
Or just into everyone, we've ever known?
did you think it was that easy?
Just to simply fade away?
I wish it was, I wish it was
So I could fade away, with you
I guess the shine it fades, with all the mess we make
but we'll survive, we'll survive, we'll survive
And it's not the distance that bothers me
It's the fact that I can't see the horizon.

Tape Recorder Blues
You're beautiful when you're broken down and bleeding
With your hair all down and your black eyes are misleading
And I don't want to go back home
To see what I already know
But it'd be a shame not to show respect for someone's bones
and the snow piles up as if the town's still breathing
when i get off the train I know i'll hear your heart beating
You Are Home.

Seasonal Dregs
The summer sun is gonna burn me dry
Before a downpour drowns me
The summer sun's got this drunk in it's sights
and it's gonna settle me
Why's this ditch want me dead?
What have I done to deserve this?
Why's this ditch want me dead?
Just to cradle and confuse me
When you lay down next to me, It makes me wake up early
When you lay down next to me, just to observe and destroy me
Why's this bed want me restless?
Why can't it let me wake up on time?
Why's this bed want me restless?
Why can't it just let me die?
I like it when you call me
I like it when you call
I like it when you know me
But you know nothing at all
So let's get you lost.

Wait For Rain
Tell me all your troubles
Why you're so sad again?
Is your lover broke or just broken?
Is he wandering?
I got spare sheets to shade you
I'll keep the lights dim
So you won't see who you're holding
Are you wondering?
Has the season passed?
Ain't this weather strange?
Stay inside on a sunny day
Wait for the rain.
Has it gotten so bad?
You gotta sway me with bait
Sweetheart, I'm in no big hurry
I can afford to wait
Are you so hard pressed?
You'd beg me to change?
You pray for shade on a sunny day
and wait for the rain

Stray dog's Jaws
Your eyes got miles, beyond that shade of blue
My voice starts to shake, whenever I sing this tune
So I bite on my lip, with a crooked tooth
and walk out of your door
The streets used to sing for me, Now they curse my name
When you're shadow even stays, a few steps behind
Then there's no one else left to blame
So I take the quickest road, to an empty hole
I still take that path, it's long dark and cold
I woke up as meat, in some stray dog's jaws
That dog just takes my money and goes.
Oh, we want to hide our trails, in the thickest city jungles
And be burned alive without no trace, of anything, of everything
We once loved.
I'm sorry I've been so tired, I don't sleep all too well
I guess I could come inside, and maybe sit a spell
Thinking of calling you, but it's always so late
Too much of nothing on my mind
Oh maybe i wasn't made for this, to be taking complete control
Oh to be anything, worth a smile from you, worth a damn of a second
Of your time.

Watch God

Watch God
Stare in the mirror and watch god die before your eyes
Brush your teeth in self defeat, fall asleep when the sun shines
And pray that I don't haunt you when I'm gone
The rain's been sending a clear message to the summer sun
When a bullet shaped cloud sunk deep in it's heart, as the moon held up it's gun
There's no victory, in this breeze
Just the scent of the left over dead that'll bring you to your knees
This town's been dry and all my friends are becoming few
And I thought they understood the fact: You own the window not the view
Things that perfect aren't meant for me and you
So call off your beast, put it back in it's cage and chain it to the floor
It's been barking and biting at my heels since I walked in your door
I always wanted to think you liked me more
It's fair to say I've been gone enough for you to forget your promises
Though I never meant to leave you lonely, at least not like this
We were never meant for this place
Just an empty bottle staring me in the face.

Teen Dream Journal
I pressed your flesh, tight between my eyelids
Baby come a little closer, let me take what's his
And it ain't in my control, to speak my mind
So i'll speak in tongues, we're just wasting time
There's a dumb dumb muscle
That's real honest with you
And maybe i'm just ashamed
To do what you want me to do
And I was reading your teen dream journal
Like I was reading your mind
And I never felt guilty
But I sure don't feel alright

Dirt Thirst
There's no heat in this hell
Just the worn out faces of the friends who knew you well
The ones who begged you to stay
But instead your bleary eyes drove you away
And you've longed for some bones to call home
But you turned around to find your bed is gone
So you might as well walk another mile
Find a new young girl and make her smile
And in her mind your toes are roots
Thirsty for the dirt beneath your boots
But in another week you'll wander on
Till the day you die and call it home.
