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

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

Marauder

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.

Sons

|

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

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

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

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

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

Knowledge

|
|||
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
