If the South Were As Sunny as They Say 03:38
lyrics
buy track
My lover, she is waiting On the Gulf Coast of Florida I swear I taste the ocean on her lips And maybe she will leave me there She burns my every letter I guess every flame casts shadows that eclipse The state of sunshine I was in My current state of apathy The chemical reaction of a kiss I hope you love that college town I wonder what you think about A million miles away I whisper this I've got a fever One that I could carry across a telephone line I miss you in the dead of night I hate you in the morning light I know by now you love somebody else You can take a thunder cloud Distill it to a single sound Maybe then you'll wish I was around I can go where joy abounds Instill in it a sense of doubt Maybe then I'll finally make you proud And If you're thinking about leaving I can change your mind again And If you're thinking about leaving I can change your mind You can be my summer sun I promise I won't let you run Out the door to burn the notes I send And I can be your tidal wave I'll wash away your every pain Even those I cause, I'll try to mend Now that she is waiting On the Gulf Coast of Florida I've died a million times inside her head There's no space for me inside her head

No Mix, No Worry 04:52
lyrics

Oh, my father told me, You can be at peace If only you can find sweet release I have lived in hospitals I have lived in bars I have wished on shooting scars Hold me through the endless night I can't tell the truth, I won't lie Hold me through the endless night I can't tell the truth, I won't lie You can't change your life, so You won't change my mind Wherever you leave me, I'll be fine She said, No mix, no worry The only drug I need Is lying here attached to my arm Hold me through the endless night I can't tell the truth, I won't lie Hold me through the endless night I can't tell the truth, I won't lie Where are you going, where have you been Are you terrified of every weekend It's hard to know you're feeling so much weaker than Before So pour me something stronger Make my knees feel weak I won't go to war with defeat Wrestle out the needle Lace me up with thread I won't be content until I'm dead Her hand is shaking The moon's looking dull Misery lives in her soul Hope springs eternal Love is divine I hate my life, I feel fine

With the Vigilance Committees of the East End 04:57
lyrics
buy track
I am a monster, I live by your grave I've seen harsher weather I can't be sure that you're not coming back I am a liar, I've stolen the breath From your lips I've never seen such a state of unrest Where were you when I was selling my soul To the whores of London Where were you when I was feeling alone I'm in a cavern, cadaverous, crepuscule The daylight burns me Underneath everything, you're only bone A little miscommunication never killed nobody So you can tell me that you're talking to your God Another missed emancipation you can shut your bloody mouth I've got a fever and I'm missing a few cogs I still don't hate you, I just think that I could use somebody Someone to take me from the horrors of the world And if you ask me, I will tell you that my soul is rotted And you can act like you don't see that in your own Where were you when I was selling my soul To the whores of London Where were you when I was feeling alone I'm in a cavern, cadaverous, crepuscule The daylight burns me Underneath everything, you're only bone Where were you when I was selling my soul To the whores of London Where were you when I was feeling alone

Pineapples on the Post 06:55
lyrics

I'd have a girl in every port If I could ever leave this town But I won't lay my head on solid ground I don't know the sea Half as well as I know you I won't see you smile anytime soon If you're alone and I am lonely It doesn't mean we feel the same If the winds don't blow you closer I'll wait out here until they change I'd sail a million miles or more If I could touch my feet to shore Baptized in salt, I come aboard reborn You can light the house That's going to guide me to the coast We can leave a pineapple on the post If I'm at home in such a strange land When it's famliiar, will I leave I'll stay out at shore forever And tell myself I feel serene I'm not sure I should be sailing If I don't have a place to stay Her mouth is forming words I can't read With lips I'll never get to taste I'm not sure I should be sailing If I don't have a place to stay Her mouth is forming words I can't read With lips I'll never get to taste

The Direction I Don't Take 04:44
lyrics
buy track
I'm heading West to Chicago To meet an old lover of mine She's got the wind in her hair And I've got to buy me some time I'm driving down to El Paso Seeking the prodigal sun Maybe the sky finally holds him He'll tell me winter is done You just need someone to hold you Not at the point of a gun I don't need a lover who loves me Just one who won't try to run Her kind of loving is awful When you're the kind who gets hurt If not for her, I'd be sleeping Worrying keeps me alert

Bunker on a Hill 04:06
lyrics
buy track
We hang like pictures on the wall Silent and peaceful, yet so raw So I'm alone here on the floor Not sure what I was aiming for I write you secrets you can keep Read them out loud when you can't sleep Oh, sometimes it's lonely To know there's no one at home There's two sides inside of me That wage a war, dichotomy And there's no side that I can take Sometimes I just don't have the strength Withdraw and that's how you attack I bit the hand, it struck right back The worst of it, you'd always say Comes when there's nobody to blame I can't accept the love I earn Unless I feel it's on my terms Oh, sometimes I shiver Straight through the night And there's no source of inner heat That can stop the endless freeze And there's no fire I can build There's only valleys, there's no hills There's two sides inside of me (Why do you tear yourself in half) That wage a war, dichotomy (If love's a pain, then hate's a laugh) And there's no side that I can take (And there's a bunker on a hill) Sometimes I just don't have the strength (Sometimes in love you have to kill)
