Tell Me Why
04:11
|

Tell me why the whole world's gone crazy
They've lost their minds, grown slow and lazy
Their empty eyes have nothing to say
Cartoon lives spent wasting away
People, they're just no good
None of this feels like it should
Tell me why everyone's a stranger
Not afraid to die, it's now or later
They're closing in, closing our eyes
It's as bad as it's ever been, we're moving blind
People, they're just no good
None of this feels like it should
Tell me why we should bother at all
Why trouble ourselves when the weak and the small
Bad men win, the good ones lose
They're laughing at us, there's nothing to do
People, they're just no good
None of this feels like it should

Sons And Daughters
03:45
|

Devil may run with a cold hand
Raised up in surrender
All we have is orphaned
Still, we have known harsher winters
Ain't no wall gonna rise up
High enough to divide us
Ain't no future waiting
While sorrow walks beside us
Here's a song for the sirens
Explosions on all horizons
We came through the fire
A light and distant choir
Fall back on the water
All you have you offer
We are sons we are daughters
Lifted from the darkness
Got no time for the scheming
Heresy and schism
I'm not the one bleeding
Somehow we all must face our demons
You came to me, you were wounded
Color and shape of bruises
All the world's polluted
Seeing only what we're losing
Brandish your heart like a weapon
But I will not be threatened
All the fools and felons
All the souls in heaven
Fall back on the water
All you have you offer
We are sons we are daughters
Lifted from the darkness

New Aching Dawn
02:37
|

Tell it to the morning
I'll be moving on
Tell it to the morning
The new aching dawn
For all the gold in this town
Couldn't keep me around
Tell it to the morning
I gave my last song
Tell it to the strangers
Who populate your acquaintance
Tell it to the danger
Watch your step in the black
If you live your life in the greyscale
You never see the colors of dawn
Tell it to your lover
In The morning you'll be gone
You bend, you break, your bones, your body aged
We've seen better days, my how they get away
Tell it to the night song
That you sing for no one else
Tell it to the unread books
Still way up on the shelf
Tell it to the evening, tell it to yourself
Tell it to the whatever moments that we might have left

Gospel Truth
03:22
|
|||
I killed the man you thought you knew
Took down the photos of me and you
I was born to fight not to fade away
The sky is dark the hour late
You're sentimental you're heart is weak
You can barely stand on your own feet
This is no world for fragility
But even vultures have got to eat
Don't carry a gun when a smile will do
People are so eager just to bend to you
That's not a knife it's my canine tooth
Speak the word of God the gospel truth
I will be changed I will be free
If I have to murder every part of me
Not every river makes it to the sea
On this alone we can agree
Some men got just one thing in their sights
You can read the future in their eyes
This place is cursed the well ran dry
Everything you love one day will die

Bottom Of The World
01:58
|
|||
So you made a lot of money in the '80s
Now it's steak and ketchup every day
Someone get this man a diet cola
He was on the cover of people and playboy
He was born to be the bottom of the world
(U-S-Asshole)
His mother used to say he looked like Elvis
He's more of a contemporary Nixon

Vision In Flames
03:43
|
|||
I'm not sorry I burnt your house down
I saw a vision in flames
In the fire, I saw you standing
Smoke obscuring your face
Mother always spoke of angels
Never knew their names
Every house here is haunted
Every heartbeat waits
Don't weep
Your dreams
Can't hurt you
Sleep
Don't weep
Your dreams
Can't hurt you
In the morning the sun is breaking
Burning off the fog
Don't wake sleeping children
We are forever lost
Standing on the edge of reason
Coming in from the dark
Consciousness is a river
Flowing back to the start
Don't weep
Your dreams
Can't hurt you
Sleep
Don't weep
Your dreams
Can't hurt you
In a world war
In a firefight
In that look you had
Before you died
In the next life
In our best dreams
Nothing here is quite
As it seems
As a parting gift
As a long goodbye
You looked back
To watch the sunrise
As the colors broke
And our bodies rose
The sky opens up
To the universe below
All the answers
Are in the questions
What comes after
Comes with the present
All solutions
Are no solutions
For what you're after
You will first have to lose it
I'm not sorry I burnt your house down
I saw a vision in flames

Bones To Carry
02:55
|
|||
Take my vow my word is solemn
Take my busy day
Take my time my worthless dollar
Take the dead away
All the burdensome bones we carry
All the useless weight
All the melancholy memories buried
In the far-off straights
All our passing days
Time will take away
In the moonlight, madness, mayhem
In the murderers' row
In the dark shadows surround us
Still, see your ghost
On the day the two were married
On their bed a rose
Why do we go about our lives so hurried
Why can't we let go?
All our passing days
Time will take away
Take my weary tale, my sorrow
Take my world of woe
Lay my cumbersome body lowly
When my time is close
All the world for a moment you save for
All that's laid to waste
All the hopes and prayers held sacred
All that's sure to fade

Where It Oughta Be
02:55
|
|||
Light on your feet, made for the air
Unfurl your wings, get out of there
Head in the clouds where it oughta be
No looking back, there's nothing there to see
We're moving forward, we don't even feel the weight
Time marches onward, nothing stands in our way
You were born a dreamer, you were born a believer
You were born a seeker now turn on the receiver
Let the music play, let the light in your soul
Lift up to the heavens as the drums begin to roll
We're moving forward, we don't even feel the weight
Time marches onward, nothing stands in our way
We're not made for this world, we're not made to keep
We're not made for the wolves, we swim out into the deep
If you never move you'll never see your chains
If you never break free, nothing will ever change
We're moving forward, we don't even feel the weight
Time marches onward, nothing stands in our way
We're not falling backward, we'll never return
The future is out there waiting to turn
We're moving forward, we don't even feel the weight
Time marches onward, nothing stands in our way

Not Ours To Keep
02:33
|
|||
Belly of the whale, the tale you tell
Bonnie and Clyde in a Kansas jail
Fare thee well, anywhere but here
Bullet in a book and a busted lip
A pin-up girl on a battleship
What freshest hell does this entail?
Our days are long and our nights are brief
Our lives are hard and not ours to keep
Footprints on the moon and a bag of chips
Chipping away at the edifice
Silver-linings and grey areas too
Tommy worked outside and his hands were rough
Carol had a thing for that kinda stuff
Timid steps in supportive shoes
Our days are long and our nights are brief
Our lives are hard and not ours to keep
The first to shout and the first to cry
The first to pull a gun and the first to die
Desert words in a garden state
Pirouettes in a pink tank-top
Lemonade, Ricola cough-drops
The calendar slips from the wall
Our days are long and our nights are brief
Our lives are hard and not ours to keep
