1.
Walking Tall 01:37
I have cleaned up my act, I’m walking tall and walking fast Towards a career and a good wife We’ll be satisfied I got drunk and drove you home You pretended you didn’t know I lost control out in the rain And woke up on pavement But you never woke up at all, empty vessel plugged in the wall: I regret every word, every hope that I deterred
2.
Buried 03:17
I was buried underneath the snow And my hands and feet are freezing cold Oh brother why weren’t you there? When the neighbor kids pushed me around Oh I know that Sally is a whore ‘Cause I caught her with the guy next door So put down the phone and give her a rest Come outside and play some catch It always goes back and forth Between the two of us But whatever may happen I’ll still love you with my whole heart
3.
Marauder 00:53
Walking towards the public bathroom a crumpled 5 dollar bill that was left over from the 10 that I spent on a latte and sandwich to pass the time set aside for the two of us after school but you were called in and caught the early bus and I hate riding alone, so I elected to sulk in solitude instead of enjoying the remainder of my night. With all my other friends, who 50% of the time make me feel like my disappointment doesn’t matter and it shouldn’t but it does so I am left in a cloud of thoughts that aren’t getting me home anytime faster.
4.
Sons 03:00
Me and my friend wait in the van Coast to coast 2010 You got the worst in Him And you’re pounding it down like original sin 17 years old, 6 months on the road Brother you are one mean motherfucker After the show you’re some kind of monster Blowing smoke out of you cherry-red nose I said I want out, It’s not fun anymore

Shoshanna 01:03
6.
Alone 02:01
I am starting to feel pretty fucked in the head from thinking about you lying in bed, just like we used to And it’s quite a shame, That I can’t get any closer to you All of my friends know that I am sick in the heart, but nothing they say will ever change the mistake I made in letting you go And now I’m alone
7.
Old Words 01:10
I regret every word I’ve said to you Because when I move to someone new The old words don’t mean what they used to
8.
Yes I Do 01:57
Yes I do love you, I am surprised you knew You pave my roads with gold and you dug me out of that hole
9.
Grandfather 02:26
The comfort of a friend can heal just about any wound, except the one that is sustained by the restlessness inside my brain which devours my recommended 8 hours of sleep, but you know that it’s easier than believing in the truth that there are things about me that I can’t change and that the ghost of my grandfather is alive in me today
10.
Knowledge 01:58
I turn my cheek after every blow I know you love me without saying so The rope it digs into your skin I’ll let you go if you give me a kiss
