You'll Be Sorry
02:34

You can lie to my face
Turn this love into hate
You can try to erase
All the files that I saved
Go ahead burn the tapes
Steal the cash from my safe
Then I will find you
When you least expect me to
I will stand behind you
And you'll be sorry when I do
You can lie to my friends
Tell the world it's the end
Throw my clothes in the trash
Burn my house into ash
You can act like a whore
To try and even the score
But then I will find you
When you least expect me to
I will stand behind you
And you'll be sorry when I do
I will come and find you
When you least expect me to
I will stand behind you
And you'll be sorry when I do

Slow Like Giraffe

She doesn't hear a word I say
It goes through one ear and out the other
I don't feel that I should stay
You've made it clear I'm not your lover
I get the picture now
(I'm slow)
I get the picture now
(I'm slow)
I get the picture now
(I'm slow)
I get the picture now
(I'm slow)
She doesn't give a damn about me
It's her world and I'm the sucker
I don't care what others think
But I sure wish I didn't love her
I get the picture now
(I'm slow)
I get the picture now
(I'm slow)
I get the picture now
(I'm slow)
I get the picture now
(I'm slow)

Lyre in the Garden

The light that keeps me awake at night
The girl who travelled into my mind
The martyr died so that he'd be free
From earthly chains and the lunacy
Of never knowing your maker
I've been meaning to take her
To the land of the apple trees
Eve would love me forever
We'd be so happy together
A black abyss made for you and me
I turned my back to our maker
'Cuz I've been meaning to take her
To the land of the apple trees
Eve would love me forever
We'd be so happy together
A black abyss made for you and me
The darkness comes in the form of love
The devil came from the moon above
I miss her scent
And her pale soft skin
The snake gives me the desire to sin
They say that Christ died so we'd be free
From passion
Pleasure
Perversity
I turned my back on our maker
'Cuz I've been meaning to take her
To the land of the apple trees
Eve would love me forever
We'd be so happy together
A black abyss made for you and me
I turned my back to our maker
'Cuz I've been meaning to take her
To the land of the apple trees
Eve would love me forever
We'd be so happy together
A black abyss made for you and me

Born in Charleston

She's got a country heart
And a southern soul
I gaze into her eyes
And see that rock n' roll
The blue-green shine
She's always in control
Her laughter carries far
Along the eastern coast
Lilac
Purple owl
My pastel painting
In the gloaming
We'll embrace
And sleep till morning
She is my only friend
The one I trust the most
I don't need Mom and Dad
I want the words she wrote
When I was down and out
I'd lost my will to cope
She kissed me on my mouth
And then she told a joke
Lilac
Purple owl
My pastel painting
In the gloaming
We'll embrace
And sleep till morning
Lilac
Purple owl
My pastel painting
In the gloaming
We'll embrace
And sleep till morning

Monument

We are the conquerors
The demon banshee
An American army
The hole where punks sleep
Reliving childhood
We fight for freedom
The beast within us
Hides where they can't see him
It's breaking my heart
Things fall apart
But we play
We're lost in the dark
But we will survive anyway
Our path is righteous
We know we'll beat them
'Cuz we're the heroes
Ruling this plantation
We have to rise up
Before they hear us
We yell and scream out
That there's no Jesus
It's breaking my heart
Things fall apart
But we play
We're lost in the dark
But we will survive anyway
It's breaking my heart
Things fall apart
But we play
We're lost in the dark
But we will survive anyway

Beer cans
And motor homes
Camp fires
And styrofoam
Bloodied hands
A dial tone
We travel light
When we're alone
Trial by fire
Weak but breathing
Healing vapors
Smoke curls along the ceiling
Born to lose
We stop at night
For feeding
We're almost there
We'll make it home
Broken glass
The perfect tent
Camouflage
And Percocet
We disappear
Into the night
The fireflies
Are shining bright
Trial by fire
Weak but breathing
Healing vapors
Smoke curls along the ceiling
Born to lose
We stop at night
For feeding
We're almost there
We'll make it home
Trial by fire
Weak but breathing
Healing vapors
Smoke curls along the ceiling
Callused hands
And our toes are bleeding
We walked all night
And made it home

Bad Thought
04:02
|

At night the furies come
To free my mind
With evil you can't see
This isn't how it's supposed to be
Their nightmare rages on in me
I dream of Dad
And going home
Pick up the phone
Tell him now
You're scared to death
Of his last breath
Your heart will break
He needs to know
At night the furies come
To free my mind
With evil you can't see
This isn't how it's supposed to be
Their nightmare rages on in me
I dream awake
It's hard to take
I cannot wait
For heaven
I want to die
Sometimes I cry
And hope this time
It is the end
At night the furies come
To free my mind with evil you can't see
This isn't how it's supposed to be
Their nightmare rages on in me
At night the furies come
To free my mind with evil you can't see
This isn't how it's supposed to be
Their nightmare rages on in me

Kid Yourself

There's a light at the end of the tunnel
But its path doesn't lead back to me
You will find that I'm lost in a bubble
That's my trouble
Believing I'm free
This world can make you crazy
But I'm fine
Just so you know
The loudest bark won't faze me
I've gone deaf
From getting old
This world can make you crazy
But I'm fine
Just so you know
The loudest bark won't faze me
I've gone deaf
Out in the cold
There's a door in the back of this cellar
Where I store all my hopes and dreams
Tucked away
I will hide them forever
So these people
Won't know my beliefs
This world can make you crazy
But I'm fine
Just so you know
The loudest bark won't faze me
I've gone deaf
From getting old
I thought it wouldn't change me
But real life
Takes its toll
I don't want my girl to save me
'Cuz I'm fine
Losing control
