Coffin Dust 04:05
We destroy each other just to stay together We're so afraid of being alone Spoiled little children screaming tantrums at each other Crack and break our brittle little bones And it never ends up being worth it in the end Who do you want? Who do you need? Smoke ring eyes dissolve back into the trees Slipping on the wine I'm tripping on the leaves Bags under eyes as black as my bruised up knees But it never ends up being worth it in the end I never wanted a tiny spec of failure to wrap itself around your neck Wine has spilled all over I just wanna show her I'm coughin' dust, a goddamn wreck Never ends up being worth it in the end We strangle each other just to keep together Oh, I'm just afraid of being alone 'Til we're old and broken all worn out and retired Our children left to reap what we have sown Never ends up being worth it in the end I never wanted a tiny spec of failure to wrap itself around your neck Wine has spilled all over I just wanna show her I'm coughin' dust, a goddamn wreck Never ends up being worth it Never ends up being worth it Coughin' dust under the earth until the end

Fickle Love 01:54
Love she is a fickle flame, ignites and burns so strong But the softest wind that blows makes her not last so long Saw her walking down the lane and knew she would be mine Held her hand all round the town and kissed her all the time Oh, fickle love I can't help the way I am, can't help the way I feel I thrilled her through yesterday, today I make her ill

There goes everyone and girl don't you know who I am? There goes everyone and girl don't you know who I am? You stay out on the farm but you just don't give a damn Pickin' at my guitar, I'm smokin' and drinkin' all day long Pickin' at my guitar, I'm smokin' and drinkin' all day long I'm thinkin' about that good girl, but she's all packed up and gone Now I don't look any good, my hair is way too long My beard is scruffy as can be and there's too much going on but I ain't got no children, what you gonna say to me? I think about a cold bath, that sun it beat me dry The wind has cackled at my lips and I think I'm about to fry but I ain't got no girlfriend, but you sure look good to me I'm thinkin' about them good times, on a farm in Tennessee There you go again, you're throwing that Bible at me There you go again, you're throwing that Bible at me Jesus healed the blind but his people cannot see Now I know all about Jesus, and I know what he said You might call me a sinner but I think you've lost your head you better love thy neighbor, oh and turn the other cheek I don't believe in Satan and I don't believe in Sin Call upon your savior but I don't believe in him yeah his message, it got lost, now you better hold your tongue You gotta bark real loud when its wolves you live among There goes everyone and girl don't you know who I am? There goes everyone and girl don't you know who I am? I don't need to look good for you, I just don't give a damn

Ready To Go 02:18
When the gates are wide on the other side, I will be ready to go Into that holy home on high, I will be ready to go To go, to go, I will be ready to go When I grow new wings and the angel sings I will be ready to go When my friends are dead and there's no one left, I will be ready to go When my back is bent and my money spent, I will be ready to go Chorus When I see that light shine down the line, I will be ready to go When I ride that freight to the pearly gates, I will be ready to go Chorus

Bella 02:51
If we were made by stars the stars must cry If we were made by God then God is flawed Oh how'd it come to this? I will never know Ignorance is bliss, nothing left to show Guns and planes and ships, that is all we know How'd it come to this? Now the world is under siege by men in suits They'd have you believe that they own me and you Oh how'd it come to this? I will never know Ignorance is bliss, nothing left to show Guns and planes and ships, that is all we know How'd it come to this? Bella horrida, bella horrida

Any way you want me Any time you need me, baby I'll be here waiting for you, for you No matter what you tell me As long as you're here with me, baby I'm all chained up for you, for you And if you go, I won't be afraid I know we'll meet again some day And every time I swim away A little drop of blood is all you need to catch my scent and pull me under the waves My bed lies empty The sheets are tryin' to trick me, baby But I wait all night for you, for you It ain't none of your business and I don't bear false witness, baby But I won't hold my breath for you, for you And if you go, I won't be afraid I know we'll meet again some day And every time I swim away A little drop of blood is all you need to catch my scent and pull me under the waves

The Bargain (free) 04:06
My vision is clouded by the fog of the woods To this place I finally return I know you're waiting for the steps of my horse and in my heart is a fear that burns Before the shadows come to take me away Before the shadows come, this is what I say No, we all must go to the lonesome valley down below and I have made my bargain and I'll pay my debt I must embrace the face of my prolonged death Before the shadows come to take me away Before the shadows come at my end of days I know you've followed me for all of these years Just waiting to collect Can't you leave me for another century? Or are you angry at my theft...

Wide World 03:52
Its a wide world and I am lost between the folds and creases it madness to try and unify the streets and trees the steeples, leaves stained class windows, when I go to temple, my roots can breathe... Mother nature has a million children to feed the hunger that wracks the stomachs and mouths taste the snowflakes, turning to corn flakes how much can the streets take without giving back? Oh, under the earth a wild heart is beating Oh, when I am dirt my soul will feed seedlings Waves of water, crashing the towers to see those starfish, floating to homes in the sky Polluted, with lights diluting the moonlight invaded by neon signs Oh, under the earth a wild heart is beating Oh, when I am dirt my soul will feed seedlings

Why'd You Go 03:23
Oh, why’d you go? I miss you so Why’d you go... why’d you go... Telephone pole standing so alone... your silhouette on the sky And in my dreams you were lost amidst the storm and static A thousand faces filled the places endless city streets You’re the missing star within my soul’s constellation Big blue and cold, the world is a barren sea Follow me to warmer shores...
11.
By Dawn 03:38
Days and nights float through me I fall into my bed But when I wake it feels like I am dreaming Riding up the coastline the sky a brilliant red But not as bright as your sweet smile beaming Please think of me and not your misery And I will try to be back home by dawn Now I must go and play another show But when I'm back I hope you have not gone City lights are blinking and filling up my head I wonder if they'll ever fall asleep Hollow bodied music and roads that never end How long will your love be mine to keep?
