1. SHE TIDES THE DEEP

I searched the ocean for a girl like you
Climbed a mountain, crossed the desert too
Sweet angel blood light falling from the sky
Looks so evil
Cross and you will die

I searched the ocean for a girl like you
I climbed the mountains, crossed the desert too
Sweet ancient bloodline weaving from the sky
Burning angel scarred with fire
Fly

For a girl like you i would try

She knows we've all been off the end of this calm
Overthrows me
Shows me inside out
It's in the ocean
It's so easy to see
Siren ancients of the winter sea

For a girl like you i would drown


2. CENTRALIA

What the ground holds will be silent now
And the earth scorched by the molten plough
And the trees bare in the valley and
All the streets clear
In the centralia

What the ground hides makes the breezes sour
And the blooms wilt as the roots devour
We'll be staying for our homes are here
Ever drying
And the streets are clear

Ever drying and the trees are bare
In the valley of the shadow
In the valley
Of centralia


3. LUCKY ONES BURN

When the sun comes rising like a fire from below
And the air makes your eyes dim and it burns in your throat
And you're walking in circles but your luck never turns
And you know nothing changes

Well some of us just trust and the other ones learn

When the truth is like poison and the words make you choke
And the sheep get chosen and the wicked ones float
And you'll always remember but he never returns
And you're lonely forver

Well some of us just rust but the lucky ones burn

Some of us just rust but the lucky ones burn (x8)


4. HENNIN HARDINE

Now seems too long
Time stretches on
Til it's tomorrow
Only a day
Just one mistake
Is all that it takes
And i'm not that strong
I can't go on
I'm not that strong

Here in my room
Feel you still near
Nothing to fear
Watch darkness bloom
Grow into noon
Blend into a dream

It's easy to be gone
It's all designed to fade
It's easy to belong
To only what you made

Quiet and clean
Don't let me be all by myself
Nothing between
I can believe
All that I need

Watch darkness bloom
Here in my room
I can believe
Long lonely scenes
Blend into dream
Here in my room

Here in my room
Slow memory pours over me
Here in my room
All that i need
All that i need

Disease is in my heart
And blindness fills my need
It's easy to be gone
When you no longer see


5. ANTIETAM

Everyone but me is sick
Can't breathe here, the air's too thick
I can't stand but I can't drop
Can't save a man but I can't stop

There's not enough of us to ever stem this tide
The agony and filth is more than i can hide
I mustn't speak of failure but it's filling my head
And there's not enough beds for these stinking dead

I can't stay, I can't stop
Can't save a man but I can't drop
Amputate and I pray
Always more casualties on the way
I can't stop, I can't cry
I'm only seventeen and I don't know why
Why? Why? Why?

Do what I can but they die anyway
The rebels give us more every night and day
A woman serves her country by being a nurse
I'm an angel bathed in blood and it's a god damned curse

Cauterize the wounds and lay 'em up in a cot
The biggest men are laid to waste with one lead shot
Please mister lincoln call this war to an end
General lee's getting closer and we have no more men

And I can't stay, I can't stop
Can't save a man but I can't drop
Amputate and I pray
Always more casualties on the way
I can't stop, I can't cry
I'm only seventeen and I don't know why
Why? Why? Why?


6. MY BENEFACTOR

You again, always there to lend and
You again, easy to depend on
You again, secrets drop like men and
You again, always were my friend

Na na na na na na na

You again, my affairs to mend and
You again, knowing where i've been and
You again, always did pretend
You again, only play to win

Na na na na na na na

You again, break before you'll bend
You again, smile is wearing thin and
You again, poorly veiled contempt
You again, misery descend


7. FOUR SUNS

White skin laid to rest
Still pretend that I know best
Feed bread soaked in milk
Swallow lies so I am fed

Never mind, it's nothing in the end
What i want, it's nothing, nothing

Black mine, sunless sky
Take my heart and drain it dry
Gain ground dark with blood
Give my sons to useless mud

Never mind, it's my fault in the end
And what i am is nothing, nothing

Once this man had a dream
Believed that we would prosper
Side by side together
But after all that he has seen lately
He can't trust to anything
Don't trust you, don't trust you, don't trust anyone
Don't trust you, don't trust you, don't trust you, don't Trust anyone

Never mind, we're blameless in the end and
What I was, it's nothing to you


8. PONTIUS OF PALIA

She says I'm the one that should save her,
So when's she gonna to pray?
She's spelling it out, I'm a failure,
And I refuse today.

She says I'm the one that should save her,
But now I've lost the way.
I tell her that nothing can save her,
That she's already saved.

She dwells in this seamless amnesia,
So when's she gonna to pay?
And nothing she says can apease her.
So what you gonna say?
She says that she does me a favor,
By telling me the truth.
But she's selling me out as a traitor,
Now I got the proof.

She says she won't mind my behavoir,
As long as I can bleed.
After all what's the good in a savior,
If it doesn't fill your need?
She says I'm a hell of a savior,
So who's it gonna to save?
I feel sick and I feel myself fail her,
And I'm not even brave.

She says I've got eyes eyes that impale her,
And now she's just a slave.
And it's always my fault that I've failed her,
I hold her like a grave.
And she says it's no good that I've made her,
The way she is today.
And that I am the one who should save her,
But I refuse to play.


9. BACKSLIDER

I can't tell you what I want and I can't tell you what I need
I can't stand the way we live and yesterday I slid again, yeah
I can't touch what I desire and I can't reach to get up higher
And I can't be the way I've been but every day I slip again

And I can't stand
I slide my back down the wall
Can't stand
I slide... and I fall

I can't tell you what I want and I can't tell you what I need
I can't even sell myself another plan that won't succeed, yeah

And I can't stand
I slide my back down the wall
Can't stand
I slide... and I fall

Sometimes I slip
Sometimes I slip
Sometimes I slip
Sometimes I slip

And I fell
Long way down
Night is coming
And i'm alone again...


10. LUCHAMOS

Oye, los pobres
Hay plata
Dinero
Oye, la gente
Que trabajando escondimos vivir
Oye, escuchan!
Ovejas pueden luchar tambien
Oye

La gente
Que cree ahora cantar
Rompen las mollaras levantar vida
Olvidar siempre invierno se volve
Gastan la cosecha nada mas aqui
Volar orgullosos sobre el mundo

Oye, cuidado
Escuchan y pensan ustedes
Oye, cuidado
Hermanos que tiemblan miedo
Abre sus ojos!
Nuestro jefes son descuidados
Oye, cuidado
Sus lenguas no tienen verdad

Sabemos peligro a dentro volcan
Pedazos callados debajo del suelo
Todas mariposas cruzen en el sur
Porque la tierra puede matar

Oye
Los pobres
Hay plata y dolor alli
Oye
Creis
Contais con su ayuda


11. LUDLOW

I leave it all to you
Part and parcel, with your chapel house
And your robes of chinese silk
With your dancing boy and marble eyes
And lantern jaw and cotton teeth and copper hair
I leave it all to you
Leave it all, to you

With your ledger and your whiskey breath
And cans of english tea
And your foreign girls and bag of tricks
And pretty words and honey lies and butter skin
I leave you to your sin

I leave it all to you
Sealed and delivered, signed with deep regret
I leave it at your door for your sunday maid
And bleary eyes and shaking hand and leaden veins and brittle mind

Oh you will, you will learn the flavor of revenge

You will need those pennies on your eyes
To pay the piper in his fine straw hat
And razor blades


12. THE PLASTIC MUSEUM

And insulin and television fill my head, yeah
I'm not so great at what I once thought was my best
So bring the doubles in, groom them for whatever's in
It's always easy to pretend

And I'll fail (x6)
And I'll

And all the whores on the television share their bed
I'm not so sure I ever belonged there instead
So bring the liars in, take my soul to sell for them
And let the corporations win

And I'll fail (x15)
And I'll


13. IN A FAMILY WAY

I find a hatchet
I can't move the axe, oh
I tear the pine down
Snow falls in my tracks
I chained together
This wood to my plough, oh
I had to try
It won't matter now

My neighbour sent away
For this book you can get
Learn how to live in twelve easy steps
And so I wonder if she did

I bring mattress
From the room where they slept, oh
I watch your fire rise
Can I learn to forget?

Will I learn to forget?
Can I ever forget?


14. MEDICATED

Oh, not again, got it in you
Oh, not again

When you're out of bed and feeling better, feeling better
Full of softness and pride
When you're up again and feeling better, feeling better
Banish me from your side

Oh, not again, don't continue
Oh, not again

When you're out of bed and feeling better, feeling better
And the envy of your friends
Then when you're up again and feeling better, feeling better
Telling stories of your sins

I sleep now and then, now and then, yeah
Take my medicine
Get weak now and then, now and then, yeah
Need my medicine

When you're out of bed and feeling better, feeling better
And the scars fall aside
When you're up again and feeling better, feeling better
Cool and empty inside

I sleep now and then, now and then, yeah
Take my medicine
Get weak now and then, now and then, yeah
Need my medicine


15. LED

Call it a day, nothing to say
Maybe it's easy that way

I don't know, you never did
I don't know, let it go

Nothing to say, but it's ok
Maybe you want it this way

Haven't you led me long enough to throw me a bone?
Haven't you bled me long enough to live on your own?

Call it a day, lust made us grey
I'll always see you that way

Send me away, 'cause i wouldn't stay
Never lived here anyway

Haven't you led me long enough to throw me a bone?
Haven't you bled me long enough to live on your own?
