Thought my thoughts would grow On you, but they don't Full bloom to naught Clay head and rot I cut my palms in a garden of thorns Bent my back all fucking day But my seeds were stillborn, so what That light don't touch much Stay Closed Don't dig me up, no Let my heart rest till the next harvest Thought that light was close Help me, but you won't You were inches above I'll rot for your love Decay in the dirt And wonder what's next I'd die for your sins but I lack the complex And I've lost interest Live in the soil Rob and ingest Your hands turn to barbs And you stab as you bless I'm punctured and usless

Black Lung 03:16
Shame to not take advantage of A cloud this thick, a blinded love I'll eat the blame, but I won't swallow Completely What a beautiful night What a terrible sunrise You need me gone And I won't argue at all You need me gone Your cigarette stained teeth Lick my conscience clean Something beautiful is happening to me Blame it on me All this talk slinging shit has gotten me hungry Mouth full of that black stuff doesn't matter if you're ugly Stay patient son Your mother tongue Keeps soft eyes shut I'll take what comes With a handful of stones And see-through walls I've seen enough I've become what I covered in mud You're a sickness I caught You are smokers cough You're my sweet black lung

Blue Suits 03:02
A kiss for everyday I've been gone I heard this black mood was something you caught Brown mouth dripping Freon into my coffee cup But I just kick my boots off and say I haven't killed enough The fever dreams let me hold you again I missed you in Philedelphia Cool off, sweetness I'm home When words weigh down the melody Just hum Pray for me or don't, I don't care God has two blind eyes out there
4.
Purple Heart 03:05
Long time since back then Can't say where I've been since Overlap and blend Open casket on the fence Both my mouths stayed shut I can't make the screens light up Without your seatbelt digging into my right hip Please don't leave me here I don't miss back then The shit has left the grin I miss a small world With fake smiles Fake pearls You called us soldiers And with all my heart I thought we were Pink then red then purple Bad then worse then awful Create the line and force me to cross it I cracked first and I'm going to crack next Lead me to nowhere I cannot stay here

Intermission 02:17

David 03:21
Don't remember that face Inside and out and backwards You call me by his name But you're always sad after It was a long long drive Too long for my liking It was a quiet quiet drive Dear God I would have prayed for fighting And it's all for you Davey I'm not sure who to blame Maybe God Maybe it doesn't really fucking matter I guess not You're life as a warning sign Is that all? It can't be Divide your life Into tiny little piles Pray that you're above Death turns us all into jackals Turn your head aside Point your finger at the sun Not sure if she was brave Take your broken life and run And it's all for you Davey I'm not sure who to blame Maybe God Maybe it doesn't really fucking matter I guess not We clutch like children At pictures and a note Your life into a poem that Someone else wrote This can't be it
7.
Bottleneck 03:11
Eat the crow Clean the mouth out with soap My foot in the door As you climb out the window That cursory glance That worn out chant That screams at you to leave Then begs you to come back Asleep In the bottleneck I don't feel good And you don't feel well So who's pulling who Out of this hell Cause I feel like shit And you're feeling down So which of us will suck the poison out This dead end love That keeps us young That kisses my cheek And bites my tongue This dead end love That eats our sons Born to die and to leave us stunned
8.
I'll just stay inside my head And listen to thoughts claw their way through the bone I'll just keep nervously laughing and tapping my foot To the song that you wrote But you can do no wrong in my eyes Still I'll be your choir of doubt Ram the gospel in my mouth I'll just keep beating the same dead horse Till it wakes and kisses me on the hand I'll just keep cat-calling leaves and scratching the bark with the nails of my friends Preach brother preach Teach me to grieve I'm sick of denial Preach brother preach Tell me to leave This hunger's my home
9.
Wait 05:03
Too old Too old to need the pleasure of blame The sweetness of wait When will I grow tired Of being a child Am I waiting for you? Or the other way around? But I know that I'll say yes To anything that you could ask Don't make me bow my head Don't make me beg You don't need my advice You keep your candle burning all night Setting the drapes on fire Maybe someday Meet me halfway Don't matter what, Just try something Just don't help me
