We Chipped A Nail

Drown me
Tell me again just how you found me
You always ground me
Til I feel like we've been out here
For days
Sleeping in the way
All the September birds have flown away
We're a middle distance holiday
Light another smoke and say
You're losing track
I wish I knew the facts
I can't move to
My feet are broken
But you move me
Lying on the ground
Picking at the grass
I wish you'd write another song
And dare
To break me
Tell me off and tell me
Everything is fine
I'm going crazy
Crack a smile
And say you love me
Paint your nails and cut my hair
Song a song without a care
We could leave our reasons now
We could move to another town
It's been to pretend that no one else exists
And that it's summer again and that nothing ever ends
We could just be kids again
If we could just get over this
If you take my hand we could walk
Until we're over it

New Day
02:14
|
|||
|
Check the burners - clear the floor
Arrange the flowers on the door
Flip the chairs - find the moon
We don't have to have a clue
We'll plan a new day out of
We'll plan a new way
Paranoid and soaking wet
We'll never be their pets
Hang me out to dry again
Tell me 'bout the time we left
All that pains us will escape
When we sacrifice our pain
I used to think in mountains
Now I unwind on the plains

Love and Other Guns
02:29
|
|||
|
I'm not trying to be cool
But I got nothing out of school
Except mathematical hopes
And stratospheric loans
Pawn off all my favorite rings
Paint my nails and change my strings
Be the next caged bird who sings
From the wings
Of love and other guns
The organ donors need
A blood transfusion please
Hook 'em up to your machine
For low grade gasoline
Cause you never have to say
Anything you have to say
It makes for dead art
But you get paid either way
It makes me wanna go away
Cause I couldn't find your heart
If I stabbed you in the chest
If you ever leave the nest
Of nothingness
God bless
It ends in violence

On The Hill
04:07
|
|||
|
They take their medicine
They don their hunting skin
They'll never let you in
Unless you play to kill
So I'll be on the hill until they put me down
Tending to the light until they black me out
Dressing for the hunt in dry-pressed luck
Til I'm in the ground
I was sleeping with a gun
Didn't wanna kill anyone
Took my prescription dose
And dreamt all day
So I'll be on the hill until we burn it down
Tending to the fire until we burn them out
My love and the pyres on the plains
Are all that I am now
Mother Earth is on the run again
Father Time is at the gun
My children ask me about the sun
They laugh, still have their fun
So I'll be on the hill until we turn it around
Tending to the fall until we break it
One eye on the entrance until we make it out alive

Gravitytown
03:23
|
|||
|
I can't see the road but I won't let it show
I'll sit and I'll wait for the madness to go
This gravity town and the silence alone
Have yet to fail me now
So I won't go heavy on you
We'll laugh and float from the ceiling
Like we had a feeling we did
A lifetime ago
Remember the night we broke into the pool
Sat in the shallows and laughed about school
Now we grade papers and plant flowerbeds
And strain the water out of the lead
The day sunk like a stone
I can't find a light
All I want is a smoke
Or to learn how to cry
I swear I'll find the joke

Kiss Off
01:52
|
|||
|
They can all kiss off
It makes me sick
It makes me smile
You make me live
It's been a while

Growing Pains
02:50
|
|||
|
Feed on pills and TV lines
Out of my mind and I don't mind
I wish I could make you sick
Write you off or make you quit
But I won't act so innocent
It always ends in violence
And I believe in levity
I only cry about gravity
Haunted addicts breathe decay, leave baby teeth
I have lost the difference between memories and dreams
Everything is level on the plains
We'll plant a garden out of growing pains
Re-reading Revelation
Cracking up in church again
Fake it til you break it
Clip-winged irreverence

Cracked Up
04:19
|
|||
|
I don't sleep anymore - I just dream about you
Write day soap lines and cringe around the room
The feeling is dealing with leaks in the ceiling
The water damage is healing
In dried out February sun
Tracks to the river, we stumble and run
I fumble with love
I fumble in love
It's a tumbling love
It cracks me up
Turn off the TV and live with me
Shut our eyes and see clearly
Lose sight of the spiders
The night and the briars
I walk on the fires with you
We're holiday lights on a radio lawn
It cracks me up
You crack me up
You crack me
You fuck me up

Traveling Light
05:36
|
|||
|
I'll consume you
Dare me and I'll doom you
I will clear you out
There will be no traveling light
We were born into the night
But don't fear me now
Pirouette on a frozen river
A broken heart and drowning liver
Have a smoke and drink again
Before you leave and think again
I'll prove you
Dare me and I'll lose you
I will let you down
There's not a single thing I've found
That I haven't buried underground
I will thrill you now
Feels useless
Heals useless
Feels truthless
Are we gonna do this?

Someways
02:57
|
|||
|
My mind - a mile a minute
And I'm not getting anywhere
Pace myself on weed and wine
We'll live somewhere outside of time
Face to face I lose the sting of ever being anything
We could be something if we wanted to
If that's a lie, it's sad but true
I'll always mean to get back to you
Someway
My 2nd thoughts are on their 93rd time around
The room is spinning when we move
Let out a sigh, turn to you
I used to dream about flying over other towns
Now I turn and trust that if burn I must
There's no ground below us
Anyway

Candle Song
05:01
|
|||
|
I keep losing my place on the page
Staring off into another day
Re-reading the same line from the start
I'm halfway through again and you
Will always have me in my heart
I feel powerless about how I feel about you, around you
You can ground me - You can drown me
I've been hearing sirens in the sea
Ever since you found me
You keep showing up in candle hours
To change the water and rearrange the flowers
Whiskey over ice until we move
And melt back into living proof
You'll always have me when I burn
Will I get my signals crossed?
All I've found is all I've lost
But I won't quiet - won't go sad
We'll be ancient one day and mad
Our minds will be diseased
We'll die to be released
