When your eyes hit

I can feel the static in the air

It burns, it cuts

I want to grab it

But it’s only a moment before it’s gone

I’m left with the feeling of hot blood

When the calm becomes a field of anger

I lose my breath, I lose touch

My love becomes cancer

And I dance off the cliff

I dance off the cliff

I’m left with the feeling of hot blood

God knows I’ve been trying so hard

Not to see you in the world, in my palm

I fall back into you when I lash out numb

And I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done.

Carry on without me, it’s okay

Carry on without me, it’s okay

I’d love to see you on a brighter day

I’d love to see you on a brighter day

Can’t these dreams be memories, and these memories dissipate

Can’t these dreams be memories, and these memories dissipate

Waiting for Spring’s bloom

Where does the time go

Buried in the sand

It doesn’t mean a thing

Lost in my own home

Where does the time go

Wandering in my bedroom

Staring at my phone

Get me out of here

Get me out of here

I am a shadow

Where does the time go

Been the same damn day for a month

And the same damn month for a year.

Get me out of here

Get me out of here

Get me out of here

Get me out of here

Jumpin’ Jack rabbit robbin’ my scratch ticket

Lickety split to the exit, don’t look back.

Confound me, oh don’t surround me

I’m known to kick fits when the slick bitches snitch.

Woah, luck runnin’ out again.

As a soldier I thought I told ya,

Obey a command, now are you my man?

Yes general, my men were all memorable

Sticking with eachother even at their own funeral

Woah, luck runnin’ out again

Pretty penny oh won’t you tell me

To get a good meal instead of bottles of this swill

Bubbly bottle, clutchin’ the throttle

To be a role model got to get your head straight.

Woah, luck runnin out again.

And this bench will become my bed

To lay my head, goddamn I need rest.

Dreams of war are at my door

With a roarin’ score goal lighting up the forest floor.

Woah, luck running out again.

Is there any way out of this black hole?

Is there any way I can save my soul?

God save me I know I’m depraved

I want to behave, priest give me god’s grace.

Woah, luck runnin’ out again.

Is there any way out of this black hole?

Is there any way I can save my soul?

It’s been a warm winter

Considerin’ the years

My bones pin like splinters

It’s all I can hear

Tired of nostalgia

Tired of future fears

Tired of remembrin’

Won’t never be clear

Why can’t I ever be here

Let’s talk about the weather

Laugh with the good tears

Talk about the war, the poor, the state of our earth

Over a nice cold beer

That’s if I’m outta bed

But it’s so warm in here

Huddled in my underwear

Knowing night draws near

Why can’t I ever be here

Nor there, nor anywhere

But in my skull, in my thoughts

In my curdled sense of self-perception

Why oh why can’t I ever be here

Tired of nostalgia

Tired of future fears

Tired of remembrin’

Won’t never be clear

Why can’t I ever be here

Nor there, nor anywhere

Here, Nor there, nor anywhere

Here, Nor there, nor anywhere

Here, Nor there, nor anywhere

Honey won’t you come back home

I’ve been really missing you

Honey won’t you come back

Everyday is colder without you here with me

I don’t know how long it’s been

But I’ve been cooking for two

And the meals are going bad in the fridge

And I know

I should’ve stopped long ago

But to acknowledge that would

Send me down a path I just don’t wanna go

Sweet whispers on the wind

Tell me you’ll be close again

Honey won’t you come back home

I’ve been really missing you

Honey won’t you come back

Everyday is colder without you here with me

I wish I could forget that note

The empty drawers and the cool wind

Blowing through that swinging door

And I guess it comes as no surprise

I just wish I had acted

When I still had time

Sweet whispers in my head

Remind me of when we shared a bed

Honey won’t you come back home

I’ve been really missing you

Honey won’t you come back

Everyday is colder without you here with me

Honey won’t you come back home

I’ve been really missing you

Honey won’t you come back

Everyday is colder without you here with me

Everyday is colder

Outside

Buried on the hillside

Underneath the grass

With my love

Outside

Buried on the hillside

Buried with my love

After all these years

Buried with my love

After all these years

Buried with my love

After all these years

Hillside

Next to the apartment

Over by the river

In the shadow of the grove

Hillside

Next to the apartment

Over by the river

In the shadow of the grove

Buried with my love

After all these years

Buried with my love

After all these years

Outside

Buried on the hillside

Buried with my love

After all these years

The truth will set you free

But only once it’s done with you

That spider it will breath

In wait to snatch it up from you

Your arthritic movements

Caught up in narcotic truancy

They appeared to take advantage

Of our social fluency

And now…

The things that happen

don’t require your permission

They’ll grab you by the neck

Shut you up and make you listen

Your sad charm and pricked up arm

The coin tossed up for you

Silky web of devil’s thread

Stole what was left to lose

And now…

The forced perspective in

A rectangle of sky

The loamy rain mixed

With the pain of last goodbyes

Flip my shovel ‘round

To struggle with the millstone

The shattered husks that gathered near

To share all that was known\

And now…

I am a man at least in

Sentimental value

Strapped into your pine box

The power shivered into

Now I see how superstitions

Are created

Simple cures for bleak unpures

That all are fated to

And now…

And now…

How can our fathers

Lead us down these trodden roads

Passed a thousand times before us

By just as empty souls

How can our fathers

Put generations on our backs

Push us out the front door

And seal themselves in wax

I wanna find myself right in their eyes

Hold my shoulders high

So I’ll see ya later Western Mass

Leave those mills spinning

Burn these letters and pills

Toss that town in the trash

Get on this plane

How can our fathers

Steal our passions in the quick

Put us on the paper

And chain it to our wrists

How can our fathers

Drop us on our mothers’ arms

Cut the umbilical chord

And then move along

I wanna find myself right in their arms

Hold me tight

So I’ll see ya later Western Mass

Leave those mills spinning

Burn these letters and pills

Toss that town in the trash

Get on this plane

So I’ll see ya later Western Mass

Leave those mills spinning

Burn these letters and pills

Toss that town in the trash

Get on this plane

How can my father

I can’t seem

To pick my eyes up off the ground

Every fork

Leads me back to where I’ve been before

Tell me stranger

How do I pick

The rubber from my jaw

Can my legs

Push me forward when the rest of me is dead

Where’s the sign

Pointing clear directions in a straight line

Tell me lover

How do I free

The sour come to pass

Pleading for guidance

Point me towards your northern star

Hoping for an answer

A ways to go though I’ve come so far

Does my heart

Have the courage to keep me from falling apart

Softly thrown

Into the deeper edges of everything I’ve known

Tell me mother

How do I sleep between faith and trust

Pleading for guidance

Point me towards your northern star

Hoping for an answer

A ways to go though I’ve come so far

Pleading for guidance

Point me towards your northern star

Hoping for an answer

A ways to go though I’ve come so far

One foot in front of the other

One foot in front of the other

One foot in front of the other

Until I get home

One bend of the knee

One bend of the knee

One bend of the knee

Take me where I need to be

Til my soles are worn

Til my soles are worn

Til my soles are worn

Bring me back to where I’m from

One foot in front of the other

One foot in front of the other

One foot in front of the other

Until I get home

I’ve been struggling since you left me

One deep breath to calm myself down

Talking to myself for three years

Say I’ll come around

Often I’ll slip into a daydream

Wander far lands and memories

And crash back to my day to day

Where nothing’s changed

It is easy to get angry

Looking in the mirror, like what have I done

To pull myself out the fog

Say I’m good enough

At the risk of coming off as trite

I would say I’ve been lonely

And I wish that I could change the way

That things have passed

Sunshine

won’t you blow my mind

won’t you take some time

and set me free

oh lifetime

I will not spend my life

I will not waste my time

So unhappily

But the grass is getting greener

And the trees are greener too

In the brightness of their beauty

I can marvel at the view

Highlight

I’m guided by the light

You can’t control my high

So leave me be

And my friend

Please don’t follow me

I have to stop this fiend

From corrupting me

My body’s getting cleaner

I can feel it in the air

Another glimpse of freedom

Rustles through my hair

Sunshine

I have woke to thee

Cracking through the trees

I give my thanks

I’m walking down the road

Betwixt fate and my soul

Looking for myself

And finding none

And I can’t run anymore

Cause the posters are lies

And my momma was a Christian

Stayed in the light of the lord

But now she sleeps in darkness

Forever more

And I can’t walk anymore

Cause my bones are dry

But she was 106

And beginning to cry

Cause she’s in so much pain

But you think I lie

Because I’m insane

But soon you’ll all die

And I can’t hide

What I’ve done

No, I won’t hide

What I’ve done

Let us test the air

Light our flares of excitement, delight it meant

That when the flame grows low, unabashed

That it’ll still grow red

When we burn down to ash

And we’ll drift through the wind

A cloud in spin

And we’ll settle on the ground

And form to immaculate sin

The air seems fresh

So bring the dust to your lungs

Cough up some love and settle in on our home

Sit set build fall

All this motion is flowing but I just can’t keep going

Because it’s too much to deal with

So I stick my foot in the bottom

To stop with the drift

Oh but it, oh but it just sinks in

Are you pleased with who you are

Getting drunk’s got us real far

Is that enough for each week

I’m not as content as I might seem

I want to know

Is it fate that guides my way

Gentle persuasion throughout the day

Or is it in my own right

A path that I lay by each night

I can’t tell anymore

And if the knife that grazes my stomach

Can’t tell me who I am

Then what fucking can

I’m so lost, so lost

I’m waiting for letters from a loved one

Anticipation grows greater everyday

I’m waiting for letters from a loved one

The wind won’t tell me when they’ll come

Even when the trees point in the same direction

I’m just waiting on these letters at home

I’m waiting for letters from a loved one

Can’t count the time enough for one day

I’m waiting for letters from a loved one

If we’d move faster over land

I just need that paper in my hand

I’m just waiting for these feelings to end

I’m waiting for letters from a loved on

I can’t wait to read her solemn words

I’m waiting for letters from a loved one

And when I do I’ll probly cry

To these letters I’m bound and tied

I’m just waiting as each day passes by

Is a man valued by the number of bullets it takes to kill him?

1…2…3…4…

1…2…3…4…

each man worth more

See how they drop

See how they drop to their knees

And cry freedom

Is a girl valued by the number of pains she can hold in her heart?

4…3…2…1…

4…3…2…1…

All whores so rotten

See how they break

See how they break

And cry freedom

Is a god valued by the number of minds he can purify

1…1…1…1…

1…1…1…1…1…

My mind is the, my mind is the, my mind is the purest mind

And I cry freedom

Oh freedom

And I cry freedom

Oh oh

It Smiles as it Kills

God has freed my mind

God has freed my mind
