We Get By

Did it myself again
What do I tell her then
We get by
Did it myself again
World keeps spinning still
Locked up all my fears
Hid them all for years
'til she wandered in
We get by
She says we're gonna make it right

Good or not
Flipping the dime
Before you count your problems
Better add up mine
Spent so many years living in the sun
But I ain't seen a good day in far too long
Chorus:
I'm a good man
But I'm getting tired
I'm a good man
But not for a while
Single sided
Smoke in the breeze
Know your friends
From your enemies
Wandering eyes
Will always blink
Turn you to stone
Or the dog that's beat
Chorus
Heavy hearted
I've looked back and cried
Heavy heart
Ya can't count the reasons why
The unattainable
Beyond arms length
Worth every moment
As I try to reach
You feel so low
When you're standing tall
But a willow never weeps
Before it falls
Chorus
Heavy hearted
I've looked back and cried
Heavy heart
Ya can't count the reasons why

Seven Bells

In my youth, in my prime
Before I die, it’s murky water
Seven bells, winter fell
Spent my days in murky water
You don’t need to know my name
All it brings is murky water
Shovel deep, dig that grave
I’ll remain in murky water
Chorus:
I don’t need a helping hand
I don’t need a cross to bear
I don’t want your empty prayers
I will never meet a god that’s fair
Summer, spring, precious things
Condemned them all to murky water
Slit my wrists, hanged my neck
Poisioned… yes, from murky water
You don’t need to know my name
All it brings is murky water
Shovel deep, dig that grave
I’ll remain in murky water
Chorus

The Bastard & the Bog
04:54

So I went into the sheriff’s office the other day; said “Boy, do I have a story for you."
"Follow me down into the bog and, uh, I’ll give you a career making move.”
He said “I seen your ugly face around the way. I knew that you and I would meet some day.”
And then I took him down into the bog, through the thicket and into the fog.
So there we were, just walking down the street: my eager hands, the sheriff, and me.
And I started to tell him about his little life. He looked at me with murder in his eyes.
I said “You had a pretty mistress at one time, and what you did to her was such a vicious crime."
And in the bog when he asked me for the dead, I put that .44 against his fucking head.
I took him down into the bog
With guilty hands I left him in the bog
With bloody hands I left him in the…
So I went into the sheriff’s office the other day
And said, “Boy, do I got a story for you.”

Save Not A Spark
01:00
|
|||
|
A sky without stars
A land with no rain
Is all I’ve known since she’s gone
Rivers like tar
No children are born
And the Earth shall bear no fruit
If light comes again
I’d give all to her
And save not a spark for myself

Black Ribbons
03:37
|
|||
|
I’ve known her since childhood
I begged for her love
But none would she give to me
Her hair lit like embers
To a sky without stars
Could tend to the night’s misery
A woman so fair
With auburn hair
That danced like an untamed beast
Wicked and wild
My desires were defiled
Like lost color on dead leaves
Chorus:
She wore fine dresses
And bells on her shoes
Hiding her face with a veil
She wore fine dresses
And bells on her shoes
Black ribbons hung from her hair
There was a boy
She fancied so much
All other men ceased to be
Shadows formed
Then disappeared
As I took his life without grief
There at the shore
I let him sink down
His eyes still starring at me
I made him a promise
Though I’m unsure
What caused such moral feelings
Chorus
When he was found
And placed in the ground
All comforts she passed onto me
But when I look in her eyes
And through love's new guise
I still see him staring at me
Chorus

Flightless Bird
03:21
|
|||
|
Wishing for the needle
Hid me from the sun
Memories own tomorrow
Let me have just one
When did this sorrow begin?
Brethren keep me weaker
One more shot to wake
Gives me hollowed answers
Much more it will take
When did this sorrow begin?
Chorus:
Holding out for something
That could keep me through the night
A ravaged world like flightless birds
Will kick to pick and bite
Holding out for something
That could keep me through the night
Brethren keep me weaker
Scratching till there's blood
Mamma take your young boy
Fix all that hes done
When did this sorrow begin?
Chorus

Restless Soul
03:24
|
|||
|
Lie me down in emerald pastures
Rest my head upon a stone
Many days that I've been walking
My body lies but still I roam
She's been waiting a long cold winter
Colder more since I’ve been gone
And I'd hate to think she'd wait forever
I know not when I'll be coming home
I hear a shot howl from a distance
My body tires my mind is weak
And I'm thinking of that dark haired woman
I lay my head, and go to sleep
Lord forgive me for cannot join you
No pleasures found in kingdoms untold
And her yearning's too hard to turn my back on
Redemption's clear, but I need none
Will she see me? Will she hear me?
Will she know that I've come home?
Will it pain her to feel me near her?
My body lies
My soul's come home
