Warhorse
I've seen a place
With black water that calls out for children to come and play
No sword
No lie
I'm sworn
I'm tried
I've seen the face
Of Belial incarnate, it follows me every day
When the warhorse finds you in your bed
You won't wake alone
When the karma falls and the morning draws
We shall be cast in stone
And you will see what we have done
And you will know then that you're loved
Doc says that it ain't go
Says you got way more you gotta show
But if you can't break through, let me know
Cause baby, we don't wanna find another home
Rather be caught dead than to find ya sleepin' on your own
Once again I'm all alone
Same old place that I was before
Course I don't know how you feel
Ain't no way to crack that seal
Rather be caught dead than to find ya sleepin' on your own
Rather be caught dead than to find ya sleepin' on your own
Amongst deluge
The design of our culling will take hold and find refuge
No sword
No lie
I'm sworn
I'm tried
I'll take you by the hand
I'll make you understand
I'll lay them all to waste
Without leaving a trace
I'll take you by the hand
I'll make you understand
I'll lay them all to waste
Without leaving a trace
When the warhorse finds you in your bed
You won't wake alone
When the karma falls and the morning draws
We shall be cast in stone
And you will see what we have done
And you will know then that you're loved

On The Dime
04:30
|
|||
|
This hood is like a busted nose
Swoll'd up with a clot the grows
The juice drips, but it never pours
The good lips hang from the whores
And every time, on the dime, I think I'll pass
But self-restraint can't bear the wait, it don't last
And in the end, I'm here again...
Say you want me
Say you want me
Say you want me
Say you want me
Hunger, a coda can't be reached
Truck stops breedin' pure disease
Long hours, theta miles tick
Strong willed, but ain't enough to stick
And every time, on the dime, I think I'll pass
But self-restraint can't bear the wait, it don't last
And in the end, I'm here again...
Say you want me
Say you want me
Say you want me
Say you want me

Hearsay
03:32
|
|||
|
She tells tall tales
She moans and wails
The good old days, the way things used to be
She draws black lines
Across her eyes
The painful truth, she refuses to see
Her jaw is strong
She done no wrong
Cept bury things, and lay with shame
Won't say word one
Her man got gone
Don't know her age or where from she came
Well Magnolia's only child
When will you take the side
Of the ones that watched you fight?
They're waiting on your call
Admission to them all
Baptize the right from wrong
Impurity inbred
Stockholm Syndrome instead
Your minds walls, forged in lead
The shots to bring them down
And free you from this town
Are easier than they sound
Hearsay
Hearsay

In A Chorus
05:33
|
|||
|
So tired of want and yearning for that which no one should
Sold off most my belongings to make myself feel good
Effects and cause mean nothing, a song with no refrain
I ask, if it hurts no one, the crime is still the same?
The crime is still the same
I hear their voices every day
And in a chorus they all say
The spoon, the belt, the cotton, a ritual enslaved
The spike, the skin gone rotten, each bruise a shallow grave
Each bruise a shallow grave
I hear their voices every day
And in a chorus they all say
Where is the love you gave away?
I hear their voices ever day

Thunder-Head
04:04
|

|
Eighteen wheels of therapy
Nine Blue Ribbons 'neath the seat
If there's a God, hear my plea
Either way, soon we will meet
'Cause they won't take me alive
No, they won't take me alive
Double barrel won't you blow
Drop the hammer, make it so
Take me where this rig can't tow
Paint the cab just like Van Gogh
'Cause they won't take me alive
No, they won't take me alive
Thunderhead don't leave no words
To explain the way my lanes have burred
Don't need the speeches or the spurn
Just don't believe all that you've heard
'Cause they won't take me alive
No they won't take me alive
Turning towards the field
I knew I'd soon be free
The sun will set on you
Just as it's set on me

Pray For Rain
07:21
|
|||
|
I was
Brought up
In between
A cinder
And slab
Ya know what I mean?
They were my brothers
My haven, my sanctuary
But each bit the dust for
A trumped-up birth rite rivalry
'Fore we was
Knee high
Pop found the lord
Moved out
Crossed town
And got reborn
Traded us three boys
To get a brand new set of four
Laid down the ground work
For what would soon be a war
Pray for rain
Pray for rain
Pot shots
To and fro
Fanned the flames
What once was
An ember
Grew to blaze
Till tough words and hard rights
Begat knives and bar fights in vain
Then one died from each side
My eldest would soon fall the same
Never
Was one
For conflict
But forlorn
And seething
Did the trick
In red gauze with black eyes
Unplugged skattergun on my hip
Took a slow drive in no time
To the house where his oldest son lived
Pray for rain
Pray for rain
Pray for rain
Pray for rain

Abettors Born
03:08
|

|
Firstborn are shown the way
All else are cast astray
And the winds blow hard and the winds blow far away
But the tether's strong and the tethers never fray
My heart will always beat for you
And my lungs will always breathe for two
And my eyes will always see you through
And my heart will always beat
So far, still miles to go
In this war, this pang, this throe
And my ghost belly will always make me roll
Cause if it has me and I have we, we're gold
My heart will always beat for you
And my lungs will always breathe for two
And my eyes will always see you through
And my heart will always beat
My heart...

State Hospitals

Wake up 'round 6, before the dawn
In PJ's all day ain't too bad at all
Young boy next door don't catch a wink
Guess I'm alright, sure could use a drink
The seconds crawl here
I'm gettin' it though
What they call "adjusting"
I call "taking it slow"
Naughty Audry, did you hold your tongue?
Bawdy Audry, did you bite your thumb?
No one could look down on giving up
There's a special place in hell for that kind of love
Word down the hall, could be sprung soon
Don't know where I'll head or what I'll do
If this is goodbye, just know you're all I'll miss
Here's to all the memories, here's to all the hits
The beds
The bugs
The rooms
The drugs
The guards
The gowns
The state
Owns me now
Naughty Audry, did you hold your tongue?
Bawdy Audry, did you bite your thumb?
No one could look down on giving up
There's a special place in hell for that kind of love
I'd tell the truth if I knew what it was
There's a special place in hell for that kind of love
That kind love...

Ossein Key

Hands scamper to and fro
Fists never will let go
Wire, spindle, pin, and hook
Bound tighter than a book
Plans, even the best laid
Aren't worth the prices paid
Rats will always find an in
That's how it's always been
Maybe I'll see you
Out amidst the gray
Maybe then I'll know you
Maybe then you'll stay
There is no sleeping when there are no dreams
There are no words to rectify it, so there will be no peace
I've been working
On what, I don't yet know
It's coming into focus
It's moving fast and slow
My eyes are now wide open
But branded with your scars
Because I cannot unsee
What you truly are
I searched the sunless places
Cities of ash and silt
To learn the key I needed
Was for a lock I built

She's my little dirt eater
Her granddaddy was a wife beater
She walks like the devil's at her side
Someday I'm gonna make that girl my bride
Don't walk away
Don't sleep all day
Don't break the light
Everything's gonna be alright

Trap Pond Rd.
04:04

|
Woke up slowly on the kitchen floor
Heard you rappin' on my back door
Eyes was heavy and my neck was sore
I knew just then what you was comin' for
Deadman
I'm your Hearse
Like fire
But worse
You said you'd done it then ya cut and ran
You came to me because I had the plan
I'd seen the woods and the lay of the land
I knew them roads like the back of my hand
Deadman
I'm you're Hearse
Like fire
But worse
You closed the trunk when I saw his face
Twas near dawn, not a moment to waste
'Neath the moon to the south we raced
Destination: Final Resting Place
Deadman
I'm you're Hearse
Like fire
But worse
We laid his body low
That bloody seed to sow
Way down on Trap Pond Rd.
Where all the old ghosts crow…evermore

God's Man
03:21

Heard that drone, one last time
Laid down slow, voicemail line
Problems hid, problems shown
The problems mine, so come on home
The problems mine, now come on home
Family, a tribe we are
We'll handle this, wherever you are
Bleed it out, the world to see
What's inside you, is inside me
What's inside you, is inside me
Got the knife, got the rope
All my friends in a bag to go
Got the knife, got the rope
All my friends in a bag to go
All my friends in a bag to go...

3 Finches: Never Flinch

Big sun, where'd ya go?
Winter don't come slow
And the buckets filled with holes
Won't hold up to the snow
Your silence covers me
All over, like a cotton sheet
And it's pressed down from head to feet
And rising every time I breath
Cryin' for the captain
Cryin' for the squall
Take away the bad man
Stowaway their haul
Hold our many histories hidden in your hands
Rub them raw until they fall, as castles in the sand
Wishin' well I've been through hell and come to pay my debts
Wishin' well don't make me sell, I want to raise the dead
When you want to walk away, you will
When you make your play, you will
All the things you left behind
Someday you will come to find
Were always waiting ahead of you
When you want to walk away, you will
When you make your play, you will
All the things you left behind
Someday you will come to find
Were always waiting ahead of you
Runnin' fingers through silky hair
Skin's crawlin' with the dawnin' of an ancient lair
What's happenin' in here?
What's happenin' in here?
Battin' wings climbin' on the air
Secret's spawnin' young yawnin' out in disrepair
What's happenin' in here?
What's happenin' in here?
We've all given up more than our fair share
In the wreckage of these fallin' years
But now we've come to grips with the thrills and the slips
We're just happy to have gotten here
We've all given up more than our fair share
In the wreckage of these fallin' years
But now we've come to grips with the thrills and the slips
We're just happy to have gotten here
And there will be no fear
No, there will be no fear
Cause we have come to grips with the thrills and the slips
We're just happy to have made it here

(Be) Still

My girl, where have you run off this time?
My girl, what did he show to you?
My girl, wouldn't you tell me if so?
My girl, wouldn't you tell the truth
She says...
It all looks different from the outside
It all looks different from the hill
A thousand times, over and over
I've got the way, just need the will
Be still...
My girl, does he say he's doing God's work?
My girl, does he say it's for the cross?
My girl, is he saying that he loves you?
My girl, does he say this is the cost?
She says...
It all looks different from the outside
It all looks different from the hill
A thousand times, over and over
I've got the way, just need the will
Be still...
It all looks different from the outside
It all looks different from the hill
A thousand times, over and over
I've got the way, just need the will
Be still...

Little Bees Burning
07:44

Little bees fill the trees, mama's on the floor again
Little bees fill the trees, papa needs his medicine
Little bees fill the trees, mama's on the floor again
Little bees fill the trees, papa needs his medicine
This is how it happens, a single spark
The swarm is burning, all hope is lost
One whole generation burned at the stake
No retaliation, for goodness sake
Swing like you mean it
Little bees fill the trees, mama's on the floor again
Little bees fill the trees, papa needs his medicine
Apple eyes soaking in piss and sweat
They watched the trial, they hold the debt
So run, run, run, my rabbits, but remember this
Those dogs are hungry, so they won't quit
Swing like you mean it
Swing like you mean it
If two wrongs do not make a right
Than strength don't make a man
Now take this pill and drink this swill
Prepare to feel my hand
I know no one wants to be alone
But these bees will once more have their home
Your time has come...
Swing like you mean it

When they come to take him in
On the couch, shit eatin' grin
Make no sound, out of luck
Thinkin' bout where he'll end up
When they come to take him in
"Cuff him boys" the sheriff laughs
"Just another god-damn peder-ass"
"I know what the gumps on the farm'll do"
"When they get a look at you"
"Ain't no wives tale" the sheriff laughs

Take Care

Take care for what you are
Never fear a fresh start
Though the ends will try to tear you apart
Take care for what you are
Time will run from you
No lulls, halts, or interludes
Won't ever catch up, but ya can't make an excuse
'Cause time will run from you
Take care for what you are
Save the lies, loves, wishes, and scars
Build them into a church that you'll never depart
And take care for what you are
Take care for what you are
