Water 03:42
Father I know in time this will all go to waste Mother I keep a little back just for want of the taste Lord if I knew how it feels when we break in the end Would I have taken so much more than I gave I'm gonna drink like the water is fine a little more will be alright I’m gonna drink like the water is fine Know if this one taste should prove to be the end of me I’d return for more after the plea What I’ve left is less than what you thought I’d be But I'm gonna drink like the water is fine Mother I can’t seem to find a way to follow this through Father I’ve fallen short of what it is you need me to do Damn this confession and how it feels when it’s true I’m gonna drink like the water is fine a little bit more will be alright I’m gonna drink like the water is fine So I’m gonna drink like the water is fine a little more will be alright I’m gonna drink like the water is fine

Tired 03:59
Sweet temptation Lord done gone to my head Quarter past last chance to know what the good book says I hear the choir sing / Lord have mercy on me After all this time so damn tired of hope That only serves to shake a man to his knees One step short of the path laid out before me All gonna meet in the end you just wait and see I hear the choir sing Father watch over me God I’m so damn tired of all this talk As we’re led down a path by men who clearly don’t see Push your words onto me Proselytize to all you see Don't question what is Spoken through me In touch from my hand Sure enough all gonna pay for what we believe As time spent in guilt paves the path I’ll shoulder your greed I hear the choir sing Tithe it all to me All your wasted time spent spreading the word Of a tired old book you’re too stupid to read All your wasted time spent spreading the word Of a tired old book you’re too stupid to read So much wasted time spent spreading the word Of a tired old book you’re too stupid to read

Save me again I know my friend I know that I weigh you down I know that I weigh you down If only time could bend So much I’ve taken I know that I let you down I know that I let you down Time won't lessen the load Until I’m gone Take this all away My life on you today I hope that it brings you down I Hope that it brings you down Time won't lessen the load Until I’m gone So lost cannot see Time will tell If I believe I know what will bring you down The words that’ll bring you down Nothin more left to break You give me love and I take the bait know that I brought you down The words that’ll bring you down Time won't lessen the load Until I’m gone Time won't lessen the load Until I’m gone Time won't lessen the load Until I’m gone

Her Life 05:34
I’ve got a girl Who wears a frown And where she goes She brings you down Don’t make a bet Don’t be a fool Don’t pick her up You’re gonna lose With that shade in her eye There’s no way she'll recognize Her reflection in the mirror Should she choose or so decide One day she'll realize My tattoo's on her neck Oh bad love Fits like a glove In her life I loved a girl Skin and bones When she cries The whole world knows In her head She took the fall But I turned my back on love No regrets at all Does no good to wish away Lost years and what it says About giving my best If only what I want to say Could help to wash away What’s left upon her neck Oh bad love Fits like a glove In her life Countless hours days and nights Regretting what we'd said Letters numbers emails sent Regretting what we'd said Just takes time my mama said Make peace and look ahead Does no good to wish away Lost years and what it says About giving my best If only what I want to say Could ever take away That tattoo on her neck Oh bad love Fits like a glove In her life

Discursive 04:52
I’ll ask again if only What falls will rise again While deliberate intention Obscures the frame I’m in What if I Could show you in time To follow my My discursive line Though these lies Pacify our need Surely now We’re better off to see I'll pass again if only What fell can now withstand As the weight of expectation Chose the name I gave What if I Could show you in time What’s behind My discursive line Through these lies We’ve pacified our need Surely now We’re far enough to see I’ll let you in if only What’s left will not condemn As the water I once welcomed Conflicts with who I am What if I Could hold you as time Uncovered my My discursive line Know these lies Remain a part of me Surely now There’s more to what you need I’ll ask again if only What falls will rise again While deliberate intention Obscures the frame I’m in What if I Could show you this time What’s behind My discursive line What’s behind My discursive line

Above it All 02:59
If only by the way I've held the lie True I've been though far from free Closer now aligned through compromise Silence hides the want in me If solely in the way I push the light Revealing what it is to be Part of more than what was shown In these simple views confounding me From this shift Starts the fall As I stand High above it all If only in the look we shared tonight I push this past just wanting you Tempted by a life gone past I can’t see the way the others do Push this down so long as I deny Use their words to shelter me Know what’s left unsaid may strengthen Your view through my complacency From this shift Starts the fall As I stand High above it all

Furlough 05:48
I smell the coffee on the bus Feel around for my glasses in a rush And I wonder when I’ll return to my home If the band books another furlough Anytime the breezes blow through these songs Open arms and take a breath to breathe you in If only for a moment I were the elastic on your belt I’d relax for just a second and sin Somewhere in vacant lots there’s a part for me A part for me and my Marie to some degree Some degree of purpose and a baby born to be A baby who’s born to be Stop and dust the hood off my old car Hard to believe a '73 Could purr like this, wish my heart could hum like this But I’m leaving back to the show As I passed our old house in the bug Pause and close my eyes and dream of then Imagine if I were the perfume on your neck I’d drip down your valley and sin Somewhere in vacant lots there’s a part for me A part for me and my Marie to some degree Some degree of purpose and a baby born to be A baby who’s born to be

Lines Erased 04:39
Through experience I’ve learned How to know before it comes Awash in what I can only describe as now Should I have taken time to share Thoughts complete though wholly unfair As I vacillate between your need and mine Will these lines I’ve erased Ever find a way to Matter more than what I’ve given you Through experience I’ve seen Desire fall to what’s binding Confliction overwhelming what is now Feel the sound in between Time in steps separating To know you this way and never show If these lines I’ve erased Never find a way through Will you know nothing mattered more than you Thoughts now fade as I return Lines erased are never gone To tell you this way and never know Absent the sound in between Time lost contemplating Truth felt in ways we’ll never share If these lines I’ve erased Ever find a way through Know that I intended them for you
