Blessed 02:09
lyrics
buy track
Why can’t you just shoot me numb? I’m so sick of feeling your tongue Pressing firmly in my cheek I am the damned; you are the meek And blessed are the meek You can throw me to the flames I won’t scream or call your name Watch me crumble on the coals Collect my bones and keep them close They’re your reward You are naïve If you think you can get away from me My dust will follow you down To whatever hell you carve out for yourself You can throw me to the flames I won’t ever call your name With my tongue pressed in my cheek We are the damned; we are the meek And blessed are the meek

Coming Home 03:06
lyrics
buy track
If I had the strength I’d break this state in half If I could find my voice I would just laugh I would watch As the four corners became three And I’d finally let you walk out on me I want to drive on a road with no billboards I want to see the trees instead of just streets I want to roll down the hill that I grew up on I want a reason to come home for good If I had the strength I’d tear down this mountain range And I’d make sure The rocks all came down in one place And I’d watch As the houses and buildings were crushed And I’d shout: I’m finally free of this place You know you’re the anchor around my feet Pulling me further away from the sea

Fool 03:14
lyrics
buy track
It doesn’t matter how many times I say it I was a fool We’ll talk for hours but neither one of us can say it Now, who used who? This was my greatest delusion Looking in your eyes We were the perfect illusion For just one night So who the hell are you but a notch on my belt? It’s a little old fashioned but if it’ll help I’ll dig deep in the leather Carve your place out so clean I know you’ll feel so much better Buried in my sheets I’ve had a thousand drunken kisses I’ve pressed a hundred lips to mine Unholy bond built on the bottom of a bottle Now, which one was mine? You were my greatest delusion Here’s hoping that you care We could have been the perfect illusion Now it’s getting me nowhere It doesn’t matter how many times I say it I’m still a fool

Curbside 03:24
lyrics
buy track
So now you’re off to Carolina And I sure hope that you find her And while you’re passing god around I’ll be here with both feet firmly on the ground I remember getting high With our heads up in the clouds, drinking the sky And your eyes a shade of red I had never seen before, or since I remember riding around Blood was dripping off my leg onto the ground And those bikes, they held a wish To stay the same, always be stupid little kids But you grew up and I got out And now I’m waving at the curb Watching your light flicker out

Pearl Street 03:12
lyrics
buy track
Where did I come from? Where am I going? Why does this seem like I’m running away? How many more years will it take To realize this is not my fate? I’m heading east, driving away Nothing more I have to say To the state I gave one year of life away The rocky beach, Atlantic shore Though my first house is no more The sign on Pearl St. stays Where does this road end? Where will it take me? I’ll grip the wheel and turn my life around How many more miles will it take To realize you are not my fate? I’m heading east, driving away Nothing more I have to say To the state I gave two years of life away The rocky beach, Atlantic shore Though my first house is no more The sign on Pearl St. stays Where does this road end? Where am I going? Does this all seem like I’m just running away? I’m heading east, driving away Nothing more I have to say To the state I gave three years of life away The mountains east, south, west, and north Hold me here forever more I’m stuck in the Beehive state Broken down in the Beehive state

Pedestal 04:22
lyrics
buy track
I watched the guitar play, the cymbals sway The violin go side to side I watched the poet scream through my TV screen Burning up in the bright spotlight I wrote a song just as good, as a songwriter should And it brought tears to the driest of eyes But at the end of that day, in the place where I lay My mind was as calm as a riot Cause he’ll always write the words That I wish I had thought He’ll move ahead while I’m in the same spot And while I’m writing my lines down He’ll be yelling his lungs out I know he’ll always be something that I’m not I saw his Hollywood story, his 15 minutes of glory Washed out, down a cocaine drain I heard he’d been to the clinic, but always a cynic Denied that he’d ever began I lost my faith in the idol, broadcast for miles And returned to my room with a pen And at the end of that day, I could honestly say I was glad that I wasn’t him Cause he used to write the words That I wished I had thought Now I’m running while he’s losing what he’s got And while he’s snorting those lines down I’ll be screaming my heart out We’ll see who ends up the winner and who’s not

Live Fast Die Faster 02:22
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes I like to think Of those chemicals flowing through your brain And the connections they make And the actions they tell you are okay Sometimes I like to wish I could live fast, but die faster And the mistakes I make And the actions I tell myself won’t push you away How many songs do I have to write To get you off my mind? How many words do I have to sing To bring me peace tonight? Sometimes I like to think Of the chemicals flowing through your brain And the mistakes that I make And the actions I tell myself are right

Cut Your Loss 02:46
lyrics
buy track
You live just like a greeting card Someone wrote in ‘89 With lines laid out so perfectly Their meanings intertwined But it all feels forced Fake and false And the crease in the edge is where you cut your loss I hope you let it deep inside That place I couldn’t find May it fuel your disregard For anything of mine It’s all consuming, awe inspiring So much that I can’t stop trying Sometimes this mountain air Comes crawling in my ear And picks apart my brain I had my shades of grey Spent years trying to create But you wandered in and covered it With black and white. I hope you let him deep inside That place I couldn’t find May it fuel your disregard For black and white

Play 02:56
lyrics

I’m quite close To writing myself off Out of my head, into this bed Under these sheets Heaven knows I’ve taken things this far Left my friends for far worse than dead Wandered away I used to watch every mile go by Counting the minutes between your body and mine Now I’ve just given up Finally don’t care enough I’m quite close To writing you all off Get out of my head, out of my bed You’re staining these sheets Heaven knows You’re no friends of mine You’ve been beaten, abused And of no further use, so goodbye I used to care I used to watch what I’d wear I used to pick my face out of the closet Like some sick little game Now it’s just a joke I won’t be surprised if I choke On every contradiction Over every tired word I’m twisting And every script I wrote for every day

Running Backwards 03:25
lyrics
buy track
You could have mentioned you were far too good for me The first time that we met It was on your mind, the whole damn night You just couldn’t catch your breath So I drive home with a smile on my face Just a naïve kid, running backwards in the race I must have too much self control You can bet if there’s a next time Ain’t no asking involved: I’ll take it all If there’s a god, he’s six feet underground Shoveling out the dirt beneath our feet And if I fall into the trap he’s laid I’ll give him one good victory, but at the end of the day I’m driving home with a smile on my face Still a naïve kid, but I’m gonna win this race Now I’m waking up with a smile on my face I’m moving on while you’re running in place So I bite my lip, and hold my tongue And watch you all just sing along You can bet if there’s a next time, Ain’t no asking involved: I’ll take it all
