I WILL BE WAITING
03:41

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
|

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

MAKE ME FAMOUS
02:30
|
|
||
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 am,
do you know what i can be?

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
|

DEATH APPROACHES SLOWLY
03:27
|
|
||
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."

THE ONCOMING STORM
03:53
|
|
||
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

TRUST ME, I KNOW
03:20
|
|
||
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

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?
