Old Me

Someone call for help,
Cause there's been a murder inside me
Won't you just plug in my vocal cords?
And I'll do it my god damn self
But there is no need for help,
It was just the old me

The hounds have been released
With keen eyes and sharpened teeth
Attorneys' strapped to the leash with busted guts,
Starving for a buck
But if we run straight
Through city arteries,
Maybe we'll get lost and find relief
Release me
Get up or get down,
Give in or give out to witness
The courtroom's floorboards creaking
The jury is out, stands crooked and proud
Their business? To find the defendant...
The moon was in full bloom
When they started showing up way too soon,
Way too soon
They had me hogtied by the power lines
And the judge says
"There's one chance of you getting out of here alive,
Just sign right here on the blood spotted line!"
Release me
Get up or get down,
Give in or give out to witness
The courtroom's floorboards creaking
The jury is out, stands crooked and proud
Their business? To find the defendant guilty

Hold it right there son, you're moving too fast
If you keep on shooting, then those bullets won't last
Cause I have traveled the world
At least one hundred times
And a bullet hole starts with a sharp shootin' eye
And an exit wound ends with a wink and a smile
Hold it right there boy, my new found friend,
Well I'm a gonna tell ya how my story began
And you're gonna tell me how it's all gonna end.

Let me tell you boy I've made,
I've made my escape
Through the walls of a prison cage
And the sheriff, he didn't even know
I'll make an outlaw out of you
You can do anything you want you to do,
prove anything you've got to prove,
but you'll only approve it through me
Just listen to me, listen to me
So this is how the story ends
Your face, but my dirty deeds
And I have plotted such a sweet revenge
My path, your bloody feet
Just make sure to load all six
Hop in the bar, but don't take no lip
And if anybody follows you,
You fill 'em full of lead
Make sure those spurs are on real tight
You can have any girl that you see that you like
Just remember what I told you and you'll be just fine
So this is how the story ends
Your face, but my dirty deeds
And I have plotted such a sweet revenge
My path, your bloody feet
Hold it right there boss, I did my best
Grabbed that sheriff, put two in his chest
You and me, yeah, we're the best
You taught me to be the best
There's only room for one in the west
This is how your story ends
There's only room for one in the west

Seasick
04:28

Turn your body into a jackknife
To pierce the ocean's skin
And I know you lost your vessel,
But it's the same damn current that you're now swimming in
Hold on, hang in there
What you've got to do is hold on and hang in there
Just try not to get seasick
Or go belly up
Let the ocean waves
Do their thing and
Carry you where you need to go
Just try not to get seasick
Try not to let the squid's arms
Drag you down to the under tow
Just grab a hold of the hull,
You may slip and you'll fall,
Scrape your knees on barnacles
For better or for worse
Through sea sickness and in health
This is your ship,
So reclaim it
Before the sea, she claims her first
Just try not to get seasick
Or go belly up
Let the ocean waves
Do their thing and
Carry you where you need to go
Just try not to get seasick
Try not to get seasick
And with a strong heart and shaky hands
I'll sail until I see dry land

Filthy Bones

I, well I've got gallons of guilt,
but it can't change the past
And I, I've got fields of fear,
but it can't predict the future
I think that's what makes me ill
and I just wanted you to know
Trying not to make excuses,
but damned if I do.
I don't want to be the good guy all the time
I was only trying to clean up my bones,
but wound up staining the bed
But I don't have to be the bad guy every time,
I was only trying to mend up my heart and wound up breaking my head
Okay well I, I've got acres of anxiety,
but it won't galvanize my skin
And I've got all of the justifications for this nervous stuttering
And that's what makes me ill
And I just wanted you to know
Trying not to make excuses
but damned if I don't
I don't want to be the good guy all the time
I was only trying to clean up my bones,
but wound up staining the bed
But I don't have to be the bad guy every time,
I was only trying to mend up my heart and wound up breaking my head
I'm just trying to clean these filthy fucking bones

The Doomsday Waltz

You've got a price tag on your time
And it's worth all its weight in silver and gold,
Or so I'm told
Now I'm broke and choked all the last of my pride
Those good intentions forgot to mention
That you'd break your nose in the bind
So let me consult with my constituents
Tear me down, analyze
And though it seems
That I've modified and tailored all my skin
For every occasion
Our inner child still so in love, still so in love
Eager and just desperate to play
But our adulthood seems to get in the way
If we recognize, then comprise,
And let those inner children play
So let me consult with my constituents
Tear me down, analyze
And though it seems
That I've modified and tailored all my skin
For every occasion
A wire framed family is just that exactly
We're crippled by the absence of time
As I trudge through the work week,
You attend to your studies
The world is now ending so dance with me tonight
Slow dance with me tonight
Let me consult with my constituents
Tear me down, analyze
And though it seems
That I've modified and tailored all my skin
For every occasion

Trying To Understand
06:05

The only certainty in life is death
But there's no need to weed the branches of our family tree,
That's not what we need
Collectively we can take on ocean waves
Instead of burning bridges, cutting ties
And ultimately draining the sea
If you stand on the moon
To put it in perspective
Then you'll understand that the world
Is just a speck of sand that doesn't span across
The entire Sahara
Why must you rip out the floorboards
of the house you grew up in?
Just to build up a soapbox to voice conflicting opinions
I wish we could just coexist
Cause I have taken pisses longer than my patience with this
And we just nearly exist
If you stand on the moon
To put it in perspective
Then you'll understand that the world
Is just a speck of sand that doesn't span across
The entire Sahara
Ok, well life can be a stubborn mother fucker,
But it, it's a short one
Life can be a fucking mother fucker
But it, it's a short one
It really truly is
