100 Cuts

I think it’s in the way you talk to me
It’s that holy voice you use
And while I craft the words I think you’ll like
They are not the ones I choose
And all I have are 100 cuts
Not near enough to go
I promise when I’ve had enough
You will never know
I think it’s in the way I toe the line
Every hour I spend with you
Even when we laugh I hear the scream
Eggshells beneath my shoes
Cuz all I have are 1,000 cuts
Not near enough to go
I promise when I’ve had enough
You will never know
You will never
You will never know
Ohhh
And I don’t know when it’s just too far gone
I think it’s in the way it’s been so long
And I’ve toughened up my skin
And every time I feel it start to hurt
I just think I’m sensitive
Cuz all I have are 1,000,000 cuts
Not near enough to go
I promise when I’ve had enough
You will never know
You will never
You will never know
Ohhh
You will never, you will never know
You will never, you will never know

Break, Rattle, Shake

I’m a snake, I’m a mess
I’m a shell of a man
If I want, if I try
If I even can
Break this, Rattle and Shake this
I’m afraid to slow down
And I’ve never tried
Oh, my head’s just a place to keep
Occupied
Break this, Rattle and Shake this
Ohhh
I’m in love with these tired bones
Break, Rattle, Shake
This mask keeps me in control
Gotta get away
I’m the goal, I’m the dream
I’m a horse with no stable
Won’t sleep til I’m dead
Just to fill the table
Break this, Rattle and Shake this
Ohh
I’m in love with these tired bones
Break, Rattle, Shake
This mask keeps me in control
Gotta get away
Get away, get away, get away
Get away, get away, get away
Get away, get away, get away
Ohh

What We Do
05:06

I don’t care what you do, my love
The world’s all open to you
See until you’ve seen enough
Oh, I don’t care what you do
Sip the sky through a straw, my love
Have the moon and stars and all
You are what you eat so drink right up
My love, sip the sky through a straw
And maybe fate will take you far away
Another pretty lady moan your name
Oh I’m so tired of fighting fate
I always seem to lose
You’ll stay here if you want to
I don’t care what you do
Tell her anything you want, my love
When you’re lonely and I’m gone
If she’s really who you’re thinking of
My love, tell her anything you want
Cuz maybe fate will take you far away
Another pretty lady moan your name
Oh I’m so tired of fighting fate
I always seem to lose
You’ll stay here if you want to
I don’t care what you do
And I refuse to try to force your hand
I’m through with thinking gravel into sand
So make the choice you want to make
Knowing what you might lose
And I’ll stay here if I want to
I cannot be all things to you, my love
You will not be all things to me
If the things I give you cease to be enough
I will let you let go of me
Cuz maybe fate will take me far away
Another pretty lady moan my name
Oh I’m so tired of fighting fate
We always seem to lose
You’ll stay here if you want to
You will love me if you want to
It don’t matter what we do

Westbound
03:16

I remember the days when you loved me
You were my sun and my moon
Each morning I’d rise feeling grateful
For each night that I spent laughing with you
Every melody you sang was lovely
You could do no wrong
So my world turned like that on your axis
But humans are only so strong
You couldn’t hold me for long
Then I noticed that we bend to tradition
Run home even when it’s burning down
And when our homegrown roots start itchin’
Baby, might be time to go westbound
I remember the days when I loved you
How eternal they seemed
We never even thought to drink from the fountain
Didn’t think that it was something we’d need
Then I noticed that we bend to tradition
Run home even when it’s burning down
And when our homegrown roots start itchin’
Baby, it might be time to go westbound
Then I noticed that we bend to tradition
Run home even when it’s burning down
And when our homegrown roots start itchin’
Baby, might be time to go westbound
Or eastbound, or centralbound
Or anywhere but here bound
You know I get so sad when you’re around
Cuz all you do is bring me down
And baby, baby I’m done with that now

St. Vrain
03:47
|

|
I’m tasting the coffee, the way that it burns
An october sadness and plans that don’t follow through
I’m tasting the pavement, it’s tucks and it’s turns
When the only world I walked was the one around you
Lie lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie
I’m tasting your movement, dance round my room
You were great at keeping me late till the afternoon
And I’m tasting the river, I’m sitting here now
And maybe someday I will realize what that was about
Lie lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie lie
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
And it’s washing me away
Oh St. Vrain
You are the fuel to all my remembering what a sick little game
Cuz the last time I sat here
I sure did not know
How we love and we leave and we still seem to put on the show
Lie lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie

Hive Mind
04:07

The dome
It’s gray, its black, it’s navy
But I’ll settle on blue
The cat’s
The one who told me maybe
That the bag came unglued
We’re a hive mind
Ain’t got my wits about me
My guard ran off without me
And all I hear is just the buzz
But I’m fine
The company it suits me
And if someone were to use me
I’m glad that I am not the only one
The men
I thought I saw them falter
But I didn’t hear it right
And even when I find the water
I can’t dampen out their gaslight
We’re a hive mind
Ain’t got my wits about me
My guard ran off without me
And all I hear is just the buzz
But I’m fine
The company it suits me
And if someone were to use me
I’m glad that I am not the only one

Metal, Metal
02:44
|
|||
|
Sleep all day and I run all night and I catch the train when the train feels right
Metal, Metal, iron, steel, steal away til it all feels real
But I never walk alone when I'm walkin' right beside my home
When I'm takin from a pack, I'm always putting something back
I'll push myself but I won't push fate, the righteous hand who plays it straight
But I'll never walk alone when I'm walking right beside my home
But I'll never walk alone when I'm walking right beside my home
Mother nature push you down and put you out and all around
And Uncle Sam will sit and stare at your empty bowl and your matted hair
But you'll never walk alone when you're walking right beside your home
But you'll never walk alone when you're walking right beside your home

Hostess

Welcome in, how are we this morning
Take your pick, the tables are clean
June will be with you in a moment
I'll grab your mugs and fill them with tea
A big wooden room with a draft you don't notice
A table for two and I am your hostess
I can't thank you enough for your patience
This is my first week on the job
I think June is down in the basement
She'll be with you when she comes back up
Thank you for dealing with all of the slowness
The kitchen is drowning and I'm just a hostess
And all this has been here way longer than me
I'm actually from out of town
Sir, do you need a little more tea
I'll go make sure June's still around
I apologize for your lack of service
This isn't how we do things round here
We hope you still plan on returning
When you come back to the city next year
Cuz we've got the makings of someplace like home is
A table for two and I am your hostess

You’ve been here before, babe
You know the specs of the room
The barback pours your Bombay
And you know she’ll pour ya two
You’ve got a bone to pick
And you’ll pick it clean
There’s no one in this city quite like you, baby
You’ve been here before, babe
Took a cab down Locust Street
Straight into your hotel
You know there’s nothing else to see
You’re feeling underwhelmed
You’re being overused
There’s no one in this city quite like-
East coast dreamboat, welcome home
Come raise the bar a notch or two
East coast dreamboat, break my heart
There’s no one else here quite like you
You’ve been here before, babe
The people always ask
“What brought you out here, boy”
And you try not to react
Thought you were the man
But you just wear the suit
There’s no one else here quite like-
East coast dreamboat, welcome home
Come raise the bar a notch or two
East coast dreamboat, break my heart
There’s no one else here quite like
You Ahhh
You Ahh
You’ve been here before, babe
You’ve been here before
You’ve been here before, babe, you’ve been
Here before
You’ve been here before, babe
You’ve been here before
You’ve been here before, babe, you’ve been
Here before

Lil Roach and Nasty
03:18

|
I can see it now, both the flame and the starter
One bought the drinks and the other brought a marker
To take their place by a bible verse and Freud
A footsie game underneath the table
Makes its way to the stall in the middle
We write our names cuz we love to fill up voids
Little Roach and Nasty
First date on Tuesday
Sippin’ IPAs and gigglin’
Through the entire show
Oh Little Roach hearts Nasty
Twice in the bathroom
But no one says a word
Cuz it’s Nasty and her girlfriend, Little Roach
When the bill comes out, there’s an ask for a number
A vague opportunity to hang this summer
But Nasty stops the digits after six
One wears plaid and the other wears leather
It’s clear that this was never ‘bout forever
Just a Tuesday night, that’s all it is
Little Roach and Nasty
Last date on Tuesday
Sometimes lovely things begin
Just to teach us why they end
Still Little Roach hearts Nasty
Even as she’s leavin’
And the only consolation
Is maybe someday they can still be friends
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba bada da
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Oohhhh Ohhh Ohhh
