Prelude
To the side you choose
Broke the rules
I can’t stay with you
Honey flows
Where the good ones go
I don’t know
What the compass shows
I’m all out of faith in the big lie
Don’t know where I’ll go when the time’s right
Let my heart burn up in the holy fire
Prelude
To the side you choose
What’s the use
In convincing you?
Honey flows
Where the good ones go
And I know
It’s a lonely road
I’m all out of faith in the big lie
Don’t know where I’ll go when the time’s right
Let my heart burn up in the holy fire

Son
02:46
|

Son, what have you done?
Tell everyone it’s not what you’re made of
Like ashes and dust
Well, son, I still blush at all they can make up
Tell them it’s all the rage
Tell them that I’m ashamed
Of things I have seen
But you know the reason you still feed
Read me the page
Tell me you’ve changed and oh, how you’ve cleaned up
The shakes and that shit
It’s harder to quit, you can’t cover that up
Tell them how you’ve changed
On this new path you’ll stay
Forget what I’ve seen
But you know the reasons you still feed.
Tell them it’s all the rage
Tell them that I’m ashamed
Of people I’ve been
But you know the reasons you still feed
You know the secrets we still keep

Mud
03:57
|
|||
I’ll make this quick
I know you can’t stand when I’m sick
But there’s something inside and it begs to come out
And it claws its way right out of my mouth
And I say all the wrong things
You don’t understand why I can’t be your man
And I know what you need, but it’s not me
My word is mud
Dissect the parts that make me up
Cause there’s something inside and I think that it’s bad
But you still stick around and wait for it to pass
And I know you won’t let me go
So fuck it anyway, cause I’ll still cause you pain
And I know what you need, and it’s not me
And I know what you need, and it’s not me
So fuck it anyway
And throw my past away
I’ll find a cure for pain
And I’ll be good again
I know what you need, let it be me.
I know what you need, let it be me.
I know what you need, let it be me.
I know what you need, let it be me.

Teeth Rattle
04:29
|
|||
Spend the night in
I need guiding
Don’t leave the bottle on the shelf
Save the blue chips
The self-help bullshit
I’ll make amends when I dry off
Teeth rattle my own jaw
Wait up til it’s over
I’ll be coming home with the blue lights tonight
I’ll be coming home if you leave on the lights
Pray for lost cause
And pay the cost of
Keeping all this bottled in myself
Sing the same lines
All in waltz time
I’ll make amends eventually
Teeth rattle my own jaw
Wait up til it’s over
I’ll be coming home with the blue lights tonight
I’ll be coming home if you leave on the lights
I’ll be coming home dancing in waltz time tonight

Deliver the Goods
02:54
|
|||
Take time to deliver the goods
Cause I’ve been good
Take time, I wish that you would
Cause I’ve been good
I’ve known demons that I could admire
And I’ve known reasons that I should retire
Take time to deliver the goods
Cause I’ve been good
Take time, I wish that you would
Cause I’ve been good
I’ve known demons that I could admire
And I’ve known reasons to set me on fire

Holding My Tongue
03:36
|
|||
I sink slower now
And I can’t get out
So won’t you tell me how?
I think you’d like that now
I’ve got to try
I’ve got to try
I’ve been holding my tongue
I’ve been holding my tongue
I’ve been trying not to lose you
I’ve been talking more
Eyes are on the floorboards
This talk of closing doors?
Yeah, it’s hurting more
I’ve got to try
I’ve got to try
I’ve been holding my tongue
I’ve been holding my tongue
I’ve been trying not to lose you
I’ve been holding my tongue
I’ve been holding my tongue
I’ve been trying not to lose you

Counting cars out on the freeway
And I’m thinking to myself
How you jumped out into traffic
Did you mean to hurt yourself?
And I laughed when we were driving
Out to put you in the ground
I didn’t understand forever
And how that meant I wouldn’t get to see you around
I’m struggling to see the future
While today still seems so dark
I want to feel how I did once
Man, I don’t think it should be this hard
Tell me all your tragic stories
All your memories of youth
How your mother got remarried
To a man that hated you
And how the factories all shut down
And there seemed no promise of return
And how the things that you all wanted
You had to fight for just to earn
I’m struggling to see the future
While today still seems so dark
I want to feel how I did once
Man, I don’t think it should be this hard
Counting cars out on the freeway
Feeling sorry for myself
I think of all your sad sap stories
Man, I wish that you had asked for help
Yeah, I wish that you had asked for help

Sabotager
03:33
|
|||
I’m no good with money
I give it all away
Spend it all on poison
And drink it down the drain
You know it’s not funny
When I lose my way
Tell me that it’s nothing
That I’ll be okay
So can I get up
When I give up?
Say I’m temporary
I’m not worth the time
Watch that big hand coming
And stare it down the line
I’m a sabotager
Watch me work my will
I can take the best things
And ruin them still
So can I get up
When I give up?
And will you still be there?

Badlands
04:58
|
|||
Everywhere’s the badlands when I’m feeling down
And everything means nothing when you’re not around
The mountains and the hills, they only block my will to survive
Cover me in flatlands and I’ll dig my way to alive
I’m slipping
I’m slipping
Climb up to the apex of the tallest hill you can find
Look through telescopic lens into the depths of my little mind
My mind, my mind, I worry that the will to live is gone
I’m holding on for something like to will to say, “Hold on.”
I’m slipping
I’m slipping
I’m slipping
I’m slipping
Everywhere’s the badlands when I’m feeling down
Everything means nothing when you’re not around
Everything means nothing when you’re not around
Everything means nothing when you’re not around

Always Enough
03:43
|
|||
So am I dumb?
I’m slipping tongues
With stranger versions I’ve become
So spare me talk
About your thoughts
I’ve learned to master backwards walk
Always in love
Always enough
Always my crooked teeth are cut on us
So I behave
Deviant shame
Go back and save myself some pain
Come up with ways
Retract those days
Remap the path I took to this place
Always in love
Always enough
Always my crooked teeth are cut on us
Always in love
Always enough
Always my crooked teeth are cut on us

Ohio, I Love You
04:22
|
|||
Ohio, I love you but I just want to die
I know there’s an answer but it’s so hard to try
I’ve been drowning myself in my failures and flaws
And naming myself as the root and the cause
Ohio, I miss you and I want to come home
I’ve been gone for too long, so please pick up the phone
Let me crash on your carpet and sing me to sleep
I’ve been dying to see you this whole lonely week
And drinking my weight now in whiskey and beer
To fight off the demons that feed all my fear
Cause I’m sad when I’m sober and I can’t stand the pain
I want to come clean in my shallow Great Lake
Ohio, I love you but I just want to die
I know there’s an answer but it’s so hard to try
I’ve been drowning myself in my failures and flaws
And naming myself as the root and the cause
And when I see light after dark, later days
I’ll open my eyes and I’ll sing out your praise
I’m a mess all too often and I hate being gone
I’ll love better and harder for you from now on
So wait for me please while I’m headed back east
I want to make something out of you and me
Ohio, I love you and I don’t want to die
I feel safe when I have you right by my side
Ohio, I love you and this isn’t the end
I want to be back in your arms again
Ohio, I love you and I don’t want to die
I found my answer and I want to try
Ohio, I love you and I’ll stay til the end
I want to be back in your good arms again
Ohio, I love you and I don’t want to die
Ohio, I love you and I’m gonna survive
Ohio, I love you and I don’t want to die
Ohio, I love you, I’ll see you sometime
