This don't feel right down in the belly of the beast I can feel the night creeping in around me I'll bury my head in the sand if what it takes to be a man is to face your fear then I guess I'm just a boy if I closed the door on everything I ever did that caused you pain well I guess there wouldn't be too much that's left couldn't you tell that I'm not proud? couldn't you tell that I couldn't work it out? take it all away from me I'm not any better than I've ever been is this what you wanted? what you wanted from me? if it's bad is it still art? you tried to clot a bleeding heart but it's been put to pasture where it's end of days will be I'm falling back on my old haunts and my mouth is full of bitter taunts things didn't turn out the way I thought they'd be we could've had it all, my friend we could've made it start to beat again grace alone won't put the breath back inside our body's crooked death

Kickin' Dust 03:51
I will be your fool just don't tell me what to do I can play dumb with the best of them I know how to get under your skin yes I do you talk too much you spit it up you're kickin' dust you moved to Minneapolis said you couldn't take any more of this was Sioux Falls really all that bad? you stayed home, getting drunk with your dad. yes you did (I've got the joy down in my heart)

Game Six 04:25
this situation's getting desperate it's gonna take a bit of effort to scratch and claw back to where we were that line has faded to a blur this what we've wrought the lives that time forgot we're old as dirt and yet, we're decoupled from our thoughts I've been tracing your steps in the days of your flesh consciousness is a byproduct of existence so what the hell do I know? the only constant is sound second person narratives are no way to live this old belief found in the truth of more libations brings us the essence of salvation down to the wire we're about to expire dug to the center of the earth in search of a rebirth

mama, I'm gonna find a fix tonight you known I've been itching to make something right could you keep it to yourself? could you play it cool? the well-water is poisoned and I drink like a fool I'm not the one you want I'm not gonna carry that stone your temple didn't build itself the potter's crippled hand made the flowers wilt we're here to break the backs of those that crack the whips as tender flesh passes their open lips the fatted calf is fully grown the bull's gonna take back what he owns

we had rats they were plagued so we stuck them in their bellies and they bled for days and the poison that we consumed found a little daylight and took root your electric teeth gleamed like a knife in the sun the business end was cheated and you were looking to take a tongue the farther out you reached the more you saw how the deed was done the rotten planks of this dead ship cast a pall over everyone we should've never followed you Stealing Thunder is in the deepest blue vengeance weighs down a blackened heart like an anchor to this crew you better find your own way home, man 'cause you better know we're done with you

Trace Chain 03:23
blooms in the barren plain gather in unending lifeless haze I am sorrow I am pain I am sodden once again we find our way by touch alone sight has left these rigid bones hate may dwell and hate may be hate is what has shackled thee

Moon Base 02:41
concrete believer you were born to be a faith healer lay your hands upon my brow sacred tongues rattle in your jowl every silver coin is a testament to Babylon's second ascent I slept for all those years so I could stay awake for this I washed your feet in rememberance of all the hands that I've kissed regret has dragged it's claws across the small of my back I break my neck to take a look at the wreckage that has passed we laid the bricks upon which your alter was built we wove the cloth upon which your blood would be spilt the abundance of your coffer is the measure of success we lay our heads down where the wicked go to rest tend to your flock you shepherds of rot your staff leads us into the dens of wolves if this is penance than what are our sins? surely this can't be forgiven

Good Time 03:23
can your legs take you far from this place? don't got a car but a pretty face... it takes some smarts it takes some heart it takes some money you don't got but a ride away from home is a life to pay your love do you love to cry? when it happens, do you die? did you know I have it made? did you know I've never paid to ever have a good time? do you wanna have a good time? it's been three long fucking years and three hundred million beers and still I can't forget it still leaves me a fucking wreck you can't put your hope in trust over time it starts to rust you know, you cannot stop the weather no, you cannot stop the weather are you hungry? are you weak without me?

New Way 02:56

Cave Dude 03:46
