Tasteless Water
03:37
|
|||
|
Drove my car at 103
Car broke down in the South Florida heat
Walked a mile then broke both my feet
Crawled around in some poison leaves
I’m in need of some tasteless water
Calm me down so I’m not a bother
Dehydration just makes me wilder
Sweat’s not water
Don’t even wanna try
Cause I know, the end is just dry
So c’mon these poison leaves are fine
Till dawn, the sun burns my eyes
Alright
Chorus

Give Up The Days
02:26
|

|
Want you to give up the days
Grab my hand
Want you to give up the days
Grab my hand
Want you to give up that night
Want you to forget about that day
Everything we do is a reflection of the truth
But lately I’ve been going insane
Want you to give up the days
Grab my hand
Want you to give up the days
Grab my hand
Want you to change just like me
Want my convictions to stick
Everything we do is at least close to what we choose
But lately that’s been drifting away
Want you to go
Want you to stay
Wanna sit on my stoop and pretend that the world’s ok
Lay my head in your lap and don’t go inside if it rains
It’ll be easier this way
Trust me, It’ll be easier this way
Want you to give up the days (x4)

Bridge To Key West
02:12
|
|||
|
I’d get birds to thank you
Form in flocks to spell your name
Ride the surf in Cocoa
Bite the dust to send you off
Pull my weight when weightless
Work on eating rocks
Test the bridge to Key West
Make sure it don’t rock
Someone’s gone ahead of me
Think he might be lost
There’s a tank of fish n sediment
I’m clinging to the walls
I’m a runaway on ketamine
Nothing could go wrong
Wipe the sweat off my face
Sweat stained shirt is all I got
Call my friends on birthdays
Got a couch to sleep it off
Call my bluff when worn out
Sick of feeling lost
Know the place where I am
Still feel like it’s gone

Sooner or Later
02:21
|
|||
|
Sooner or later
I’m gonna crater
Yeah I’m gonna fall
No one to talk to
No one to call
I could be out there
Breaking my fingers from punching a wall
Hope it’s a bad wall
Hope it’s a wall
I wouldn’t call, my life
A thing to get behind
I wouldn’t trust, my mind
It’s barely keeping me alive
And I wouldn’t go, as far
As saying I’m doing alright
Somebody drive my car tonight
Sooner or later
The volcanic crater will erupt again
And all that I’ve worked for, will be ash in the wind
I could be out there
Actin’ a fool yet again and again
Will you be beside me
Wearing a grin
I wanna end, this song
Before it gets too long
I wanna stop, be calm
If I don’t soon you’ll be gone
And I wanna save my spot
And give you all I got
Somebody check on me a lot
Sooner or later
Sooner or later

I Get Caught Up
02:21
|
|||
|
I get caught up in ways I had not foreseen
Drove my car down the wrong side of the ravine
Headlights remind me of beach front property
I get caught up like turtles turned on the beach
Aren’t those house lights just moons in the sky out of reach
Next I know I’m a raccoon’s snack just to eat
I get caught up in ways I had not foreseen
Found a body in plastic brackish ravine
Kept the money and kept my mouth shut
I get caught up
Kick the can and pray for good luck
All I am is one big fuck up, yeah
I get torn up in ways I should have foreseen
Pulled you into a mess it was real not a dream
I get drawn in by beach front property
Spent the money on pills and brand new T.V.
Watch myself on the news and then try to sleep
But I stay up and read my reasons
My convictions
All those trials and restrictions
One more time just please believe him

I don’t want you in the car
I want you in the ground
The things that you have done
I’ll never let em down
Don’t want you in the car
Just want you in the ground
And if you get upset
It all comes crashing down
The sun is in my eyes
I cannot close my mouth
My mind’s still stuck on you
But I’m distracted by the sound
Don’t want you in the car
But hey that sound was loud
And if I get upset
My bark get really loud
Don’t want you in the car
I want you in the ground
If you ask me for a ride
I can’t control myself
I’ll tear you with my claws
Crush you right between my jaws
And if you get upset
It all comes crashing down
It all comes crashing down
My jaws come crashing down
*repeat first stanza*
Don’t want you in the car
I want you in the ground
|

7. |

|
I gave up on sympathy
I take my sweet time
Walking to the car for you
To grab your bag inside
I don’t even like the beach
I just see you smile
I get burned and grind my teeth
Worth it all the while
Worth it just to feel your skin
Warm with sunscreen on
Tuning out some stupid kid
Wondering if that’ll be mine
I do
I do
I get home from work at night
We walk to the pier
I talk bout the things I did
You talk bout your fears
I wish I could free your soul
I could be the heat
Pull you from your worries girl
Warm sand on your feet
I do
I do

Isn't That Something
03:29
|
|||
|
I won’t go
Into the sunset cause I don’t think
That they happen on the East Coast anyway
Won’t be dippin in the ocean
Is that so
She says why you gotta be such a smartass
You know what I meant by riding in the sunset
You that it mean that I’ll miss you
No you won’t
That’s what I tell myself cause it helps me
A dissociative property, to cope
Ooo isn’t that something
Isn’t that something
Ooo isn’t that some way, to cope
So I’m told
Those sunsets happen on the West Coast
In Seattle you can see em on a houseboat, so I’m told
Oh I know
You wanna visit me and fly in on a seaplane
Well I’m breaking down and calling it a scene change
But I’m lost
Ooo isn’t that something
Isn’t that something
Ooo isn’t there someway, to cope
Ooo isn’t there something
Isn’t there someway to erase these family demons on the low
Do you know
Ooo isn’t there something
A way to placate all these thoughts
I really just want to let go
Ooo isn’t this something
I found a way in, but I have to shut the door on you once more
I’m on shore

Branch
02:10
|

|
If you can’t take the fall
Then you can’t come along
You won’t be useful
Cause I’m trying to save myself
Put the blame on someone else
Who could that be
Is it someone that I know
Some poor sucker down the road
It doesn’t matter
Cause they won’t mean much to me
Take my cut n then I flee
From Florence, so you won’t get hurt
Each person I encountered
They reminded me a little bit of you
The one thing I remember
Is you cared for me when nobody should
Yeah you carried me away
Am I making myself clear
I can’t do dirt when you’re here
You can’t come down
I’m not the only one I’m bout
Not the only one who’s out
We’re all on a limb here
If we both step we’ll go down
But if I step with one foot out, I can balance
I can balance here
Each person I encountered
They reminded me a little bit of you
The one thing I remember
Is you took me in when nobody should
And let that branch bend

Florida Dirt
03:39
|
|||
|
How could my relationship die
How could my connection with god be jeopardized
How could I even survive
My life relies on the dirt I do, the simple crimes
This town in Florida is mine
But I can’t get a normal job, a legal one, to save my life
I think that it’s about time
I get my act together, quit the meth, and set things right
Leaving that old life behind
Move in with Denise and be the seed that makes her change her life
I don’t know if now’s the best time
I have to attend to things, my burner rings, so nevermind
I think my relationship’s fine
I think the dew on the marsh, will never dry
I’ll carry on with my life
I’m destined for this, there’s a rift in Destin Beach tonight
And right before I’m bout to die
I’ll apologize for everything, I’ll call my son and tell him why
I’ve been a dick my whole life
I’ve been the stick in the spokes, no matter what I try

Aaahh!!!
02:45
|
|||
|
I went outside to catch some air
I floated back, I did not care
I turned my back, I flipped my hair
I clapped right back, an evil stare
An argument felt worth my share
An endless bark, a squeaking chair
And all I’m worth is teeth to bare
I’ll scratch n claw but nothing’s there
Ahh
Ahh
Maybe I’ll be calm someday
I’ll seat myself, live, laugh, and pray
Or maybe I’ll just escalate
I’ll never learn, I’ll take and take
And wait unteil the lake is drained
And all my friends have gone away
And then I’ll say today’s the day
I’ll change my life, adjust my ways
Ahh
Ahh
How I feel inside
Tends to coincide
With how hard I try
With how hard I try
(try a little harder)
I’m feeling fine
(try a little harder)
I said I’m feeling fine
(try a little harder)
How I feel inside
Tends to coincide
With how hard I try
With how hard I try
The pointlessness of anger stays
Throughout my rage that fact remains
Remains the same yet still I claim
My acts are just, I’m always saved
An argument felt worth my shame
I am a dog I’ll bark when tamed
If all I’m worth is teeth to blame
A costume I will always claim
Ahh
Ahh

Dead End
04:00
|
|||
|
Hands of sweat and bile
What’ve you done
Who were you with
Was there a gun
You can’t even talk
Shaking too much
Man on the run
Was there a gun
Tell me what you’ve done
Then I’ll feel pretty good that I was the one
*solo*
Hands of sweat and bile
You are the sword
I am the shield
Turns into plowshares
I can’t even talk
This is unreal
The fact that you’re gone
Or the fact that I’m here
Do I tell them what you’ve done?
Or do I keep it as a secret that I was the one
If I help you get to Sumner
I could be dead
But I take some self pleasure
That you’re letting me in
I can’t see us getting out this jam
I’m just glad you asked me for my hand
I loved you but you never asked me then
And I love you now even in this dead end

Johnny Salami was a porn star
He had a lot to give
He drove a really fast sports car
Until he crashed it
And then he said
I don’t know who I am now
I don’t know who I am
Johnny Salami was a porn star
He had a special gift
And when he drove that sport’s car
Boy he knew it
But then he crashed it
Into a ditch
No insurance
