1.Vices
'Far away from any road,
Froze my heart in solitude,
Where your passerby can see,
Our life's highway guard within,
Knowing when our last does fail,
Our compassion shall be met,
...
Our life's highway guard within.'
We need vices (oh),
We need vices (oh),
Well you took my hope and my marriage license,
(where's my home?)
Those days are dead
(forgive me)
Those days are dead
(forgive me)
Those days are dead
(forgive me)
We need vices at fifty thousand degrees
She said goodbye to the ground
She said goodbye to the ground
She said goodbye to the ground
I don't care
I got creative (oh no),
To try to kill the major,
Where is my trigger?
My mind's a racin'.
(you sing that sad song)
And that forest burned
That forest burned
That forest burned
We need ten years, everyone, so we can return
She said goodbye to the ground
She said goodbye to the ground
She said goodbye to the ground
She said goodbye to the ground
She said goodbye to the ground
And jumped
We need vices (oh),
We need vices (oh),
We've done nothing but brandish our disguises
Those days are dead
(forgive me)
Those days are dead
(forgive me)
Those days are dead
(forgive me)
We need vices to wave to the good old days
She said goodbye to the ground
She said goodbye to the ground
She said goodbye to the ground
And jumped
2.Bed
My head is lead I don't want to
ever go to bed
Your hair is on fire
You snuff the blaze turn to vapor
and you float away
We got into a bad fight
Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed
My eyes are lungs of the prophet
and speak in tongues
I know how you die
Your sister crumbles
oh your serpents to the holy throne
To me she is just a dead spy
Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed
Lie to all your friends
Lie to all your friends
Lie to all your friends
Lie to all your friends
I don't know what you feel like
ambushed on the root,
stole your gold and you laugh
Everything that you own starts to pile up
Like bones make the walls of your prison
Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed
I don't want to ever go to bed
Stay out for the fight
The champ goes down like a clown
in the second round
I wish we had a bed we could have brought
Lie to all your friends
Lie to all your friends
Lie to all your friends
Lie to all your friends
Lie to all your friends
Lie to all your friends
Lie to all your friends
Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed
Laid her on the bed
3.At The Bottom
Wait
I watched you throw out your bouquet
Now i think about you everyday
I'm alone now in my bed
And there's a lake
And at the bottom
you'll find all our friends
They don't swim cause they're all dead
We never are what we intend, or invent
「Cause I make little lies
and then I pull them apart
Think something dark's living down in my heart
And if I wanted to die before I got old
I should've started some years ago
digging that hole
Well I carry this box to the proper place
And when I lower it down
I let it you fade away
I hope that you would do this for me
I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate
If I thought it would help you get away
I hope that you would do this for me
A deer that a hunter shot in the heart
Some dogs that got hit by cars
All came to spill their guts
And we spoke
About the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
And which songs we had loved the most
And then we all turned to dirt
And dust
Some men die under the mountain
just looking for gold
Some die looking for a hand to hold
Well I carry this box to its proper place
And when I lower it down
I let you fade away
I know that you would do this for me
I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate
If I thought it would help you get away
I hope that you would do this for me
I'm slowly bringing you down
from the Heavenly gates
Now I'm drowning in the flood I made
Well explain myself to me on the other side
I'll watch from Heaven when I die
Well I carry this box to the proper place
And when I lower it down
I let you fade away
I know that you would do this for me
I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate
If I thought it would help you get away
I hope that you would do this for me
4.Gasoline
She tried to put a fire out
she used gasoline
when the congregation goatherd round
screamed it wasn't me
so there's a sickness that is going round
no ones got a vaccine
think you'll drown in holy water
think its time we all come clean
its like dying, to catch a ghost
its like im trying, to hold smoke
its like im dying, to catch a ghost
its like im trying, to hold smoke
when they only had to hold the line,
you were no were no where near the front
all the kids could could tell the door goodbye,
when you were loading up your gun
i wanna know why theres a great divide,
i wanna know what Ive become
you think that no one else is lonesome,
you think that your the only one
feel like im jumping twards a train
feel like im jumping twards a train
we all try to make a way
feel like im jumping twards a train
feel like im jumping twards a train
We all try to fake a way
5.You Stole
Last night they said the fire had spread
And we said our prayers
And now the flames are burning me in my bed,
But I just don't care
We all go to sleep in the same place
And in the morning hope that we're all the same
Just sit around like broke down cars
in the lot Waiting for repairs
There you go
There it goes...
Well I wish that I was as good as you
Caring and trusting
And I wish that my condition was new
but I'm old and rusting
So we just hurry up only to wait
Add to the list of all the places we hate
And I pretend like I got something to say
But I've got nothing
Now I know that you stole
Yeah you stole
From the cradles they were rocked in
You took the first words that they spoke
Yeah you stole
Yeah you stole
So if I'm a liar and you're a thief
At least we both know where the other one sleeps
So let's end this tonight
Now I know that you stole
Yeah, you stole
From the cradles they were rocked in
You took the first words that they spoke
Yeah you stole
Yeah you stole
So if I'm a liar and you're a thief
At least we both know where the other one sleeps
So let's end this tonight
6.Be Gone
It's getting hard to stay up
I think I can hear God calling my name
He'll try to make my heart break
but I was told you'd call me tonight
they're calling my name
they won't slow the car down
I'm scared that I will keep it for my own
the one that is calling my name
is telling 'come down'
they're calling my name
they're calling my name
they're calling my name
calling my name
7.Sink
I don't want to let you go
But it hurts my hands to hold the rope
I won't be such an easy mark
You're no better then they say
And all the candles on the cake
All set fire to the gate
Turn the cannons towards the boat
Men were drowning in the moat
It was the end of all rowers oars
If you call then I'm coming to get you
If you call then I'm coming, now
If you call then I'm coming to get you
You want to sink, so I'm gonna let you
All I want's some earth and seed
But only grow the things I need
But first I must find my way back
And you go lay down on the track
At first I had an even keel
But now I'm not sure what is real.
It's taken me this long to learn
That every dead is ate by worms
And once they're gone they don't return
If you call then I'm coming to get you
If you call then I'm coming, now
If you call then I'm coming to get you
You want to sink, so I'm gonna let you
I'm coming to get you
If you call then I'm coming to get you
If you call then I'm coming to get you
You want to sink, so I'm gonna let you
Then the fire snuck into your bedroom
Now I'm falling asleep to forget you
How darkly the dark hand met his end
He was withered and boney,
exposed for a phoney
But we heed the last words that he penned
Haste to disgrace the traitor.
Do not wait til later
I don't think that you've got to pretend
I see God in birds and Satan in long words
But I know what you need in a friend
So now when I leave you,
I hope I won't see you
How darkly the dark hand met his end
He was withered and boney,
exposed for a phoney
But we heed the last words that he penned
Haste to disgrace the traitor.
Do not wait til later
If you call then I'm coming to get you
If you call then I'm coming, now
If you call then I'm coming to get you
You want to sink, so I'm gonna let you
Well, I'm coming to get you
If you call then I'm coming, now
If you call then I'm coming to get you
You want to sink, so I'm gonna let you
Then the fire snuck into your bedroom
Now I'm falling asleep to forget you
8.Bought A Bride
Trees will make a forest
Trees will make a bow
These are all the harder
Words you have to know
If everyone's a structure
Where their own savior sits
Then I'm a little red house
And no one's living in it
Cars are little blood cells
We are oxygen
City is the airways
Suburbs appendages
She was feeling lonely
So you let her hide
Rented out a family
We bought a bride
Bought a bride
Bought a bride
Bought a bride
Little cities names labeled along the map
They tied her up and laid her on the train tracks
Where are all the seedlings
We grew from violence
Down in Jersey lumber
Stealing prosthetic limbs
Should of been a soldier
I could of fought and died
There's no revolution
So I bought a bride
Bought a bride
Bought a bride
Bought a bride
Coming down the alley while the horns play 'Taps'
They tied her up and laid her on the train tracks
Somehow I always knew when everything was unsaid
Go and buy a hammer never sing again
9.Daisy
And we sing this morning
that wonderful and grand old message.
I don't know about you
but I never get tired of it
Number 99:Just As I Am.
I'm a mountain that has been moved
I'm a river that is all dried up
I'm an ocean nothing floats on
I'm a sky that nothing wants to fly in
I'm a sun that doesn't burn hot
I'm a moon that never shows it's face
I'm a mouth that doesn't smile
I'm a word that no one ever wants to say...
I don't wanna be,
He wasn't finding anybody
when he was on the shelf
I saw him in my dream
I'm a mountain that has been moved
I'm a fugitive that has no legs to run
I'm a preacher with no pulpit
Spewing a sermon that goes on and on...
Well if we take all these things
and we bury them fast
And we'll pray that they turn into seeds,
to roots and then grass
It'd be all right, it's all right,
it'd be easier that way
Or if the sky opened up
and started pouring rain
Like he knew it was time to
start things over again
It'd be all right, it's all right,
it'd be easier that way
Well if we take all these things
and we bury them fast
And we'll pray that they turn into seeds,
to roots and then grass
It'd be all right, it's all right,
it'd be easier that way
Or if the sky opened up
and started pouring rain
Like he knew it was time to
start things over again
It'd be all right, it's all right,
it'd be easier that way
I don't wanna be,
And we sing this morning
10.In A Jar
Stones in your eyes,
Stones in your eyes,
Stones in your eyes,
Stones in your mouth,
Stones in your ears,
Stones in your mind,
Stones in your eyes,
Stones in your eyes,
Living in a jar, think the lids the sky,
You're hoping for a savior on your cross outside.
Stars are just a million little fireflies,
The sun is just the whole world and the light outside.
...
Holding out for rest but on the seventh day,
I've created nothing and I'm wide awake,
So can I tie my key to your electric kite?
The rooster crowed twice and you can't sleep at night.
There's too many saviors on my cross again,
I know I'm never going to be a perfect man.
Everyone's an oyster with their grain of sand,
I love you most and some, now it has to end.
...
Stones in your eyes,
Stones in your eyes,
Stones in your eyes,
Stones in your eyes,
Stones in your eyes,
Stones in your eyes,
I'll run a million miles if you win first prize.
11.Noro
Little light lead us through the night
And if we die burn down the forest
chariots, carry us
distances we don't care to walk
I'm on my way to hell
I'm on my way to hell
Why doesn't anyone in Noro sleep
are they all just scared of their dreams
When they lay down their heads down at night
What are they haunted by
Why won't anyone just close their eyes
Could it hurt them to rest for a while
Do they need their friend to be a lover
Or their lover to be a friend
(Because)
I'm on my way to hell
(Well I've tried, God knows that I've tried)
I'm on my way to hell
(One time, Two time, Three time again)
Sitting duck
Running out of luck
And I got stuck on the train crossing
How am I ever gonna know peace
How will I ever see the light through the trees
I wanna burn down everything we begun
I wanna kill and eat my young
(Because)
I'm on my way to hell
(Well I've tried, God knows that I've tried)
I'm on my way to hell
(One time, Two time, Three time again)
I'm on my way to hell
(Well I've tried, God knows that I've tried)
I'm on my way to hell
(One time, Two time, Three time again)
I'm on my way to hell
I'm on my way to hell
I'm on my way to hell
I'm on my way to hell
