Half Awake
03:42
|
|||
|
We used to think it's all just rainbows, but we were only half awake.
The Sun still sets through our window, we could always lay and sleep-
Our faces still stuck like glue.
Call it what you want to call it, we were only half awake.
The Sun it still sets through our window, we could always lay and sleep-
Our faces still stuck like glue.

Old Rag

|

We set out on the path at the break of dawn
Had to throw out blue moons and shake off the yawns
Come on now, this could be a task
It's three AM but we aren't coming back
To the love that we had made where we were last
Old Rag I'm coming back
You ask me what you see down by the path
It ain't no fuzzy thing, it's a dream that we passed
This trail won't last
It's three AM but we aren't coming back
To the love that we had made where we were last
Old Rag I'm coming back
It's four AM but we aren't coming back
To the love that we had made where we were last
Old Rag
Old Rag
Old Rag, I'm coming back

Condensation
04:33
|
|||
|
Curdling blood like a lava flow, erupting so epicly slow
Sodden, down-trodden women I know are only so seemingly slow
Lightning has struck the same place twice, and I would like just to lie down
Condensation, on a glass of wine
Condensation, on a glass of wine
Condensation, from my eyes
My mother said to treat them well, my dad says don't trust them at all
If living amounts to what this is, shouldn't be the least of my fears
Condensation, on a glass of wine
Condensation, on a glass of wine
Condensation, on a glass of wine
Condensation, from my eye
Condensation, on a glass of wine
Condensation
Condensation
Condensation
Condensation, on a glass of wine

Mud

I was born not in a home, but in a hole covered in stone
I climbed up through the soil, it was cold and fettered my soul
Know my Father was, He is, and He will always be
written in the ground
When I stood covered in dirt I knew pain and I knew hurt
Heard His smile and I heard His love, screaming out- it filled me with blood
Know my Mother was, She is, and She will always be
written in the clouds
Smell of wine and cheap cigarettes, makes me warm and staves off the cull
Take my hand I'll show you as well, Hell is cold- it'll fetter your soul
Know my Father was He is and He will always be
Know my Mother was She is and She will always be
Written in the ground

Raise Me Up
03:00
|
|||
|
All the windows are a-shut in and the A/C cranking up
I'd lay my eyes upon you, you'd only lay me out-
and the Sun keeps setting.
You raise me up and I let you down
If you raise me up I'll be free from all my doubt
Another late night, blue light, and they only keep me up
Your warm skin carry me in, as I sing don't throw me out-
And the Sun keeps setting.
You raise me up and I let you down
If you raise me up I'll be free from all this doubt
You raise me up and I let you down
You raise me up and I let you down

Crimes
03:43
|
|||
|
We set aside everything we wanted to hide
Look at what it's done- it's taken us and ran us around
You with your green eyes were never great at telling me why
Crimes we can't let go our pride it cries out like a crow
Tears that always flow smiles that hide more than we know
Sit down beside me I'm cold and in desperate need of warmth
She says goodbye before I know what's going on at all
At least our time was good to us
At least our time was good to us
Let it go...

It's Love
03:45

There's hope there's hope for us all, just keep your love alive
and when there's none for you to find I'll give you all I have
with open doors just shut and locked, let me know you're near.
It's love, it's love, it's love my dear keeps me here, keeps me here
It's love, it's love, it's love my dear gives me fear, gives me fear
It's love, it's love, it's love my dear keeps me here, keeps me here
It's love, it's love, it's love my dear gives me fear, gives me fear
It's love, it's love, it's love my dear keeps me here, keeps me here
It's love, it's love, it's love my dear gives me fear, gives me fear
My hope, my hope is to let a lot of love in before I, I go to meet my love in craters and I know, I know that nothing is a given since this slope, this slope we're climbing is so dangerous.
It's love, it's love, it's love my dear keeps me here, keeps me here
It's love, it's love, it's love my dear gives me fear, gives me fear
It's love, it's love, it's love my dear keeps me here, keeps me here
(My hope, my hope is to let a lot of love in before I...)
It's love, it's love, it's love my dear gives me fear, gives me fear
(...I go, I go to meet my love in craters...)
It's love, it's love, it's love my dear keeps me here, keeps me here
(...I know, I know nothing is a given since this slope...)
It's love, it's love, it's love my dear gives me fear, gives me fear
(...this slope we're climbing is so dangerous)

Oh, Lord

Lord have mercy on my soul, been where man don't want to go
and in my wired sleepiness I've sung sad songs that no one knows
Oooh
As I cry the world opens up, to reveal the warmth that rests inside
Be still my heart you'll never know, happiness like your friends have grown
Be still my heart, be still my heart
Lordy, lordy, lordy, lord, Lord have mercy on my soul
Lordy, lordy, lordy, lord, Lord have mercy on my soul
Lordy, lordy, lordy, lord, Lord have mercy on my soul
Lordy, lordy, lordy, lord, Lord have mercy on my soul
Lordy, lordy, lordy, lord, Lord have mercy on my soul
Oooh
Be still, be still...
Oh, my heart...
Oh, be still my heart...
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord...
Have mercy on me...
Oh, Lord...

We Are All Bones
05:03

I don't believe, anything's on- oh- my time
I kicked the door on its hinges just so I could move on
Oh oh ooooh
I need white noise when I sleep
My blood runs cold and deep
Oh oh ooooh
We are all bones
We are all bones
Please tell me if it's not enough
This world is barely holding me down
the Sun is throwing me around
This world is barely holding me down
the Sun is throwing me around
Please tell me if it's not enough
This world is barely holding me down
the Sun is throwing me around
We are all bones
Please tell me if it's not enough

Just like the wilting flower, in the cold of December
I was covered by the cold, I was buried by the snow
To feel the setting Sun upon my frozen face
it's the best feeling I've ever known
it's the best feeling I've ever known
Just like the wilting flower, in the cold of December
I was covered by the snow, I was buried by the snow
To feel the setting Sun upon my frozen face
it's the best feeling I've ever known
it's the best feeling I've ever known
