trust
02:13
|
|||
pleasure carries pain, i'm on a smoke break forever after all
light twists on a knife, trust no one and die together all alone
showers stained by mold, i've been growing old for nothing i suppose
a blessing and a curse i don't know which is worse
lightning struck me twice
and my fair weather friend is coming round the bend if i
let them in
let them in
let them in

washed up
03:51
|
|||
i am troubled i am blinded
feeling just like my father's son
sometimes singing feels like lying
it feels like reaching for a gun
times are desperate
folks believing that the end is sure to come
bad times always keep their promises
always done and always undone
i walk meadows in my feelings
i see troubles come and go
pain uplifted from my spirit
i fall freely to the unknown
are we rivers flowing forever
from the moment we were born
to drift apart or come together
all "washed" up on heaven's shore?

mourning for us all
03:21
|
|||
who made this world? i made this world on my own
so my time will come, like a car that's crashing into a wall
drinking in the morning because i am mourning for us all
so my time will come like a head that's bashed in to a wall
tell me what you want i'll do it i swear
tell me what you want, what you want in this world

in a carolina motel bar
02:37
|
|||
can we ride this lonesome high through our sorrows?
or are they clinging to us like an old friend?
going to bed hoping they'll be no tomorrow
just waking up to do it all again
are we high to sell ourselves on forever
or are we selling out because the end is near
going to bed hoping they'll be no tomorrow
just waking up year after year
i found myself among the demons and the schemers
condemned to die in a carolina motel bar
i look around i do not see true believers
just grieving people taking it too hard

wrath
03:13
|
|||
is there a wrath inside your mind?
lonely days spent wasting time
i feel the warmth beneath the earth
sunlit floor of a rotting church
a blessing bound into a curse
every year i'm getting worse
do angels fear a higher death?
how many years do i have left?

light of the moon
02:24
|
|||
light of the moon, won't you lead me to my doom?
i am growing older waiting all for nothing i assume
light of the moon, you're so bright i can't see you
you are somewhere in that blindness lost to brightness all consumed
light of the moon i once thought i was like you
meant for shining through a darkness i was wrong
it wasn't true
light of the moon over these towns that feel like tombs
monuments and mausoleums, death is shimmering and blue

i will say goodbye
02:24
|
|||
i won't be sad for the world
that's no way to be
i won't be mad at the world
that's also no way to be
i won't answer the phone
no matter who calls
i keep my soul in my mind
i keep my back to the wall
ain't going to leave no note
if i kill myself
but i won't leave a mess
if it can be helped
i won't cry no more
now that the end is near
there is so much joy
now that the vision is clear
goodbye

look into my soul
02:25
|
|||
all your little dreams are over
so go on and open your eyes
look me in the soul when i pass by
the air is all that lies between us
heavy as a sleepless night
look me in the soul when i pass by
please look into my soul as i pass by
please look into my soul?
i won't get broken up about it
i'm not going to lose my mind
look me in the soul when i pass by
you and i are not so different
you and me are nothing alike
look me in the soul when i pass by
please look into my soul as i pass by
please look into my soul?
