1. EBB/FLOW

Brighter souls have stripped me of my worth
Tangible, yes but only at first
Broken nails, tear mere holes in my earth
Bottomless, and strange visions they birth
Waking dream, a mirage of what was
Fooled to think that it won't end in blood

Hold on tight to someone

It all flows away
Don't fear how I'll die someday
My life's been a fruitless waste
And I long to see you again

The ebb and flow of the waves in the sea
Paints her picture, only to mock me
I await her return at the shore
Know in my heart, this realm holds her no more

I long for the other side

Hold on tight to someone

It all flows away
Don't fear how I'll die someday
My life's been a fruitless waste
And I long to feel you again


2. GOON

What keeps you propped up like a man?
Is it the way you talk 'round friends?
Boys who laugh with hidden hands

You hear it when you climb in bed
The voices echo in your head
Know what you did, know what you said

I know the truth
You'll get what's due
There'll be no mercy here for you

Karma knows not sympathy

Bring me the head of the clown
Stuck on a pike o'er town
Crows nest in his crooked crown

I know the truth
You'll get what's due
There'll be no mercy here for you

Karma knows not sympathy


3. STORM PILL

I feel dark clouds approaching
Their clang rings a vengeful omen
And I know why they speak in frantic whispers
They don't want me to know

So take the storm pill
You don't have to feel anything real
Just close those grey eyes

And I was falling asleep
Just as soon as my head hit the ground
There's something happening to me
But I think I'll keep it down
And I was lost in a dream
I had no will to be found

My jaw clicks
My skull, it drips
I need someone to save me from myself

Stepping over black snakes in coitus
I stop to stare, they don't seem to notice
And I know why they chose to let me watch them
They want me to know...

So take the storm pill
You don't have to feel anything real
It's just your time to die

And I was falling asleep
Just as soon as my head hit the ground
There's something happening to me
But I think I'll keep it down
And I was lost in a dream
I had no will to be found

My jaw clicks
My skull, it drips
I need someone to save me from myself


4. SILVER GALLOWS

She drove me home after the fire went out
And showed me her silver gallows
We talked until our moon came out
And reflected in the shallows

I'll sway in the breeze long after the crows pick me clean
Yeah, you'll watch my body twist and turn with eyes of light
I never gave you in life
And all of the mournful gather 'round
This silver noose
I hang from still

And when you finally cut me down
Don't bury me in the garden
We both know nothing will grow there
And I need old dirt to roll in

I'll sway in the breeze long after the crows pick me clean
Yeah, you'll watch my body twist and turn with eyes of light
I never gave you in life
And all of the mournful gather 'round
This silver noose
I hang from still

And I'll swing for the rest of my days
It's okay, I found rhythm to sway
And I'll sway for the rest of my days
It's okay, I've found a way to hang
