Good Grief 02:55
Good Grief If you can’t feel a fucking thing It’s time to change the way That you spend all of your nights And waste all of your days The weight you lay With words you sew The growing pains Of getting old This is how we love our lives If you’re still out there holding on To all that once was Sever all the ties Just cut them off The weight you lay With words you sew The growing pains Of getting old This is how we love our lives Yeah I just want to let you know that I swear My hate outweighs my love I won’t get caught on broken endings Denial It takes the bigger part of me It takes the bigger part of you It takes the better part of me

Salt & Stitches I’ve got chills I’ve got aches I watched my past blow across the lake (Is there a place for us, Somewhere beyond this rut) When you’re ash When you’re dust Stitches & Salt won’t affect your cuts (When perspective reigns, we won’t be wasting days) It’s ok to take what you’ve been told It’s ok to grow beyond the mold We’re alright We’re just fine Don’t wanna talk about it If it helps You sleep at night Let all your stories out We’re alright We’re just fine A flashback for the broken hearted We’re alright We’re just fine You’ve lost hope And you’re numb Needles and pins lodged in your gums (And it’s in my head, and it’s in my home) And your brain Repeats The horror film from within a deep sleep (When the lights are out & you’re lost in space and sound) Just like an atlas holding in the world (Beyond the lake) Just like an atlas weighed down by the earth (The same mistakes) Just like an atlas holding in the world It’s ok to take what you’ve been told It’s ok to grow beyond the mold It’s ok to move beyond the lake It’s ok to make the same mistakes

Saigon 03:49
Saigon Your hands are weathered and dry You wiped down the walls And you bleached the sky A pain in your back since 87 The roses have since never looked the same An unpaid service just for the love Us kids are fine, us kids are fine You say there’s not enough money And not enough to keep the colour in your eyes Come back and Continue to colour To the outlines Of our lives Even though we talk it’s not the same I need to refresh the memory of your face Dust lies in every crease you made A flash back to youth pulled you away In a crowded boat you crossed the waves Old blood at home new life was made They never knew how far you’d stray Only to return to your birth place Come back and Continue to colour To the outlines Of our lives I tried so hard To make it easier on you

Raymond Island It’s in my head All the cracks and the creases are still there And I’m trying to work it out But some things don’t fade I thought this place And all of its faces were erased Just boxed up In the attic inside my brain Not dead or living Just somewhere between These old friends of mine Have all moved away The streets are empty now Every home feels like a grave These back roads All lead to houses that were homes A stock pile of memories Of a life we made Not dead or living Just somewhere between I wish I could go back To more than water and black sand To see foundations laid Just to observe the change I wish I could go back Just to see the face of my dad To see foundations laid Just to observe the change Not better off alone Not better off in my head There’s an echo in the waves The repetition of the days Throw the ashes to the lake The cracks and the creases are still there Some things don’t change

Pavement 03:03
Pavement Took a train to the city Thought something might be going down But we found the dead heart Of a dead town In the streets that were usually living It seemed everyone had given up Torn it down Worn it out But we love it just the same It’s in our blood it’s in our veins We cut a hole through the pavement Just trying to get to the core We were reaching out To the underground We fucked with the fascists and racists In the hope of hitting our own oil To tap the ground Of this tired town But we love it just the same It’s in our blood it’s in our veins I love where I’m living In this dead town In the space between lost and found I love where I’m living On this backdrop And I’m never gonna give it up There you go You throw it to the wind You talk about the future Stacking statements once again We’re all the same It’s in our blood it’s in our veins It’s black & white We’re the same inside

Cope 04:00
COPE First light Town house fears of flat lines Last night Emptiness expands on a numb mind You’re right The beats are down and the timings off Our lives Don’t intersect at the present point Maybe I’ll see you in the next life Maybe I’ll see you at the right time Check my head I’ll try to cope Then hang me up and let me go My brain is fried and my legs don’t work I’ve been cut down by the curse of Unsupported hope Erase it I guess that it’s best if we let it go Embrace it It’s all just a part of getting old First world Problems don’t need to be solved The last time I find myself tied to a telephone Maybe I’ll see you in the next life Maybe I’ll see you at the right time Check my head I’ll try to cope Then hang me up and let me go My brain is fried and my legs don’t work I’ve been cut down by the curse of Unsupported hope I’d trade this city life For a second try

Like Glue 02:57
Like Glue Carry me home I’m skin and bones For you were the fat that filled me up Sticks and stones friends and foes You are the rut in which I’m stuck oh oh oh I love you so oh oh oh I get off on it Riddled with holes from sharpened blows You drove your fork within my back And I can’t sleep or count the sheep Cos you lead them down your tongue into your mouth oh oh oh I love you so oh oh oh I get off on it It could be a look that wrecks my day It could be a look or a cold embrace I lived for thrills you threw my way Now I’m just skin in the wind Just like glue Like Glue Let it rest in my chest It’s on my mind and on my breath

Heavy Rage 03:50
Heavy Rage There’s a light A crack in the fabric containing the black of tonight And it’s alright It’s our hope A hole in the ceiling through which the darkness flows A way to get out If I play my cards right We might make it through another night My conscience says it should be done Long ago I should have given up We lie Down by the roadside watching the bridges burn When will the daylight save us Can we try A collective harmony maybe just for tonight I’ll try if you try I should have given up Maybe I’m too quick to take the easy road Feels like we’re going nowhere taking it this slow

Bad Blood 02:31
Bad Blood Small towns They don’t know (Say it’s alright, say it’s alright) That itch Self control Say it’s alright, say it’s alright Hollow inside, hollow inside They say it’s only Only a matter of time Coz when you’re lonely You can’t stop your wandering... Closed minds They don’t know(Say it’s alright, say its alright) Your life Lost control (say it’s alright, say it’s alright hollow inside, hollow inside)  You just can’t, you just can’t Erase it, erase it They say it’s only Only a matter of time Coz when you’re lonely You can’t stop your wandering... Who cares what they say Fuck this small town anyway When you’re lonely You can’t stop your wandering Bad Blood

The Bottom Of The Lake I’m drunk I’m cold and I want to go home So I’ll dive right in though I’m fully clothed I long for my bed and to lie with you And hear the rain pitter patter on our old tin roof I’ll fight the white water with a drunken hand With every stroke I take i reach for land I long for my bed and to lie with you And hear the rain pitter patter on our old tin roof I am Just another man stuck in the chain I’m close enough now to see the porch lights glow And the luminance fills me with hope I think I see you moving in the light But you turn it out and you go inside And I’m alone again in the cold dark night I am Just another man stuck in the chain On the bottom of the lake
