do you remember ninety-three we were in tennessee down in some holler the flowers in the garden bloomed like a drop of ink in a glass of water and you said that love was like war you could only start once, and you couldn't start over i went from standing on the ground to the grave from the shore to the sea now i'm a lion in a cage you are like horses running free but i believe, in time, you will be mine so i will be here waiting patiently do you remember ninety-six we were somewhere in texas some shitty southern city in the trailer park, i'd sing out loud and you would sing with me back then but never again good god, what have i done? wasted my life waiting for the kingom to come some salvation, i suppose who really knows? i don't

LIKE A LION 02:20
my heart was hanged in the empty plains my love stays were your love stays yes, i am just a dirty fucking mess these days sometimes it feels better to say it feels better this way i'm crying out like a lion now i've been showing my teeth too long, it's time to bite down get the taste of blood in my mouth
3.
LOCKED UP 04:55
my body lies broken on the floor a bitch in the bed, wolves at the door they're showing me their teeth, sayin they're on the hunt for some real blood but like a cage i keep your love locked up my body is a ghost in the darkness my heart is a darkness inside the ghost my body is a betting man's open hand my heart is just the horse now like chains, with my remorse i keep your love locked up there ain't much that i can thank god for

i'm a mess i am wasting away in texas but alabama will be my grave, yes i'm waiting in line to be the greatest waiting for somebody to come and make me famous oh my god, what have i become? it's best to say it's better of this way.

do you know what i am, do you know what i can be?
6.
SOUTH 02:01
when i was a young boy in corpus christi a grown man washed my feet for free i feel like i never quite came clean still feel his hands on me like a cold, cold rain i'm seeing ghosts in a broken mirror god i hear what you say it can not get much clearer the dust settles on my grave things will always be this way
7.
death approaches slowly ghosts are moaning first a darkness takes the night then a darkness takes the morning and i can feel it all coming to a bitter end life like i'm locked up death like abandonment when we're closing in on the white light i want your nightmares to be mine just before i die, lay by my side see the love and terror in my eyes it's what has been in my heart my whole life death such as this will always be around it just comes from the darknes to take you now it will find you somehow there ain't no way out fuck it, they will find me come morning my belly to the sky and the world wide open as if god had spoken "it's a long way to hell, but it's longer to heaven."
8.
shrill echoes of the war high on something, passed out on the floor i got no gun, i got no pain a jezebel for a jerusalem i am numb once i cum dumb once i cum i felt you in the shrapnel the black keys drape the oncoming storm life like a masquerade it will always be this way mary on the road with marks on her throat heavy, the heaviest coat laudanum and lithium i bet on her horses i'm hearing black feral voices i feel invisible i feel invisilbe, feel like an animal i am numb once i cum dumb once i cum i felt you in the shrapnel the black keys drape the oncoming storm life like a masquerade it will always be this way mary on the road with marks on her throat heavy, the heaviest coat laudanum and lithium it's a burden i wish not to have anymore
9.
for a moment i saw this town forever and ever in the dust, in the ground i said, "i believe that i must leave." i will be leaving it's a dirty road it's a damn dark place to go alone trust me, i know
10.
THE ANIMAL 02:51
my brother looked me dead in the face said, "it's a god damned shame what you became; the animal that you are these days." christopher, i'm afraid that i became what i was meant to be all along my mother looked me square in the eye said, "son you will die the way your father died; drunk, alone, nobody by your side." i said, "i'm half-way there, i just ain't dead yet." mary, are you as happy as you say you are?
