Hear me
Walk in
The snow
Come on
Show me
Your halo
(something something something blah blah blah)
Headache
Shiver
Fever
Your own
Personal
Jesus
(something something something blah blah blah)

Overcome
03:43
|

Haunted as our forest was
I'll rolling with our father's gun
The songs burned in my brother's brain
What would I give to feel the same
Straight lines around the bend
I am overcome to come home again
My family has gone away
I've ransomed all my hell to pay
Overcome
I got my life yet to come
Overcome
Ten men hungry and poor
Just blood and bones to fuel the war
The stars are out tonight
I can feel it coming I can taste the fight
Overcome
I got my whole life yet to come
Overcome
There's blood in the hills but I got my gun
Overcome
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Dear mother and sisters and Dad
I don't remember how I got so mad
Laid out among dead men
I'd give anything to be whole again

So Many Cities
01:50
|

Well there's so many cities and so many towns
How am I supposed to pick one to settle down
And it's funny how drinking in an unnamed bar
Is the only way to get closer to my heart
So I'm riding for the rhine
Well there's so many women and so many loves
How am I supposed to know when I've had enough
I'm an old man roaming around the wold
Got enough weapons on me to kill a girl
So I'm riding for rhine
Cause a dead man fits the crime
I'm in love with the idea of being in love
A shovel and a bag of lye
I've been racking my brain trying to cure the itch
I can't stop shaking and I got a twitch
I'm an old explorer in a modern home
I'm a black cloak ninja with a cellular phone
And I will haunt the ground
Upon which I have traveled on my own
Driven by the promise I made to you
That will never come...

The Forest

The beauty of the future is no one knows what going to happen next
The beauty of you is I don't know you yet
The thought of you being late to work keeps me from keeling over
I'm making plans as though they matter
Wasting time until I know you
Time fills the sails on the sea
Wave your country's colors in your sleep in your dreams
Take all the time that you need
I'll be in the garden planting seed after seed after seed
The only time you'll love me truly is when you're angry as a blue jay
But we both know one day even that will fade
But tonight tonight I'm in the battle lines
Feels so much like when I was younger just waiting for a sign
Time fills the sails on the sea
Wave your country's colors in your sleep in your dreams
Take all the time that you need
I'll be in the garden planting seed after seed after seed
We all belong to the forest
Those who came long before us
Hold my hand as we are carried by the river current
Wish I believed that the trees
Were ghosts with secrets to keep
When I'm gone you can just look up to the leaves
Feel me in the breeze
Time fills the sails on the sea
Wave your country's colors in your sleep in your dreams
Take all the time that you need
I'll be in the garden planting seed after seed after seed

Scalps
03:40
|

Everything I know I learned on my own
All the games I play honed back at home
I just wanted you to hold me close
You were too afraid to let me go
If I live or die I can't be mad
Already lived a life of being sad
Won't hold on to this I've let it go
I've moved on from Ohio
Too many women like collecting scalps
I suck the life out of their open mouths
I want to love you forever and forget about my broken house
What do I get from this I'm not so sure
I just waste my time and I waste yours
But it's in my blood it burns my genes
I wasted my 20s and never lived my teens
Too many women like collecting scalps
I suck the life out of their open mouths
I want to love you forever and forget about my broken house
She fills all my holes from my head to my toes
It's alright cause tonight I'm ready to die
For two days I learned what my body's been yearning for
All this time I thought I needed someone
Too many women like collecting scalps
I suck the life out of their open mouths
I want to love you forever and forget about my broken house

You Never Left
03:59
|

I found my love in a photo of a death mask and a gun
Flip through photos of girls who know their time will never come
Coffee and beer and feelings to fear from halfway around the world
Alone again but I'm ready to give every ounce of my love to a girl
You never left me til I returned to the steps where I promised my love
It was a Tuesday I finally found my legs and started to run
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
When I got home I feel into the habits I wanted to lose
No longer proud to have more love than a man could ever use
Feels like there's another life if I could grab hold I'd make it through
The leaves are changing in other states but the skies are always blue
You never left me til I returned to the steps where I promised my love
It was a Tuesday I finally found my legs and started to run
You never left me every time I see you I wonder what could have been
If I had been raised different or owned up to the lies I used to live
Hid the past in a photograph I loved
I got a panic attack cause I want you back at any cost
Mined the depths when I climbed those steps in May
Next time I climb those steps I'll be there to stay
You never left me til I returned to the steps where I promised my love
It was a Tuesday I finally found my legs and started to run
You never left me every time I see you I wonder what could have been
If I had been raised different or owned up to the lies I used to live
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Tokyo Station
02:45
|

Twelve hours ago I was ready to go
But the blood in me wanted to stay
Can't imagine a place with more beautiful faces
My friends and loves will remain
They remain in the past I can't bear to look back
At the seeds I have sowed long ago
Oh no I'm not ready to go
My day is your night
You're a moth to my light
With a surgery scar on your wing
And a vertical line
For two days you were mine
Watashino I cannot believe
You remain in the past I can't bear to look back
At the seeds I have sowed long ago
The Asakusa streets are so dear to me
They're all haunted by your lonely ghost
Oh no I'm not ready to go
Oh no I'm not ready to go
I forget all my friends and decades in the end
But not Tokyo Station
I never expected to love when I met you
Tokyo Station
And every day since I've been slashing my wrists over
Tokyo Station
Tokyo Station

I'm in love with the wrong girl
I'll believe in anything if we won't lose our youth
Give me courage and a rope what I got to lose
You were a part of me just like my last wisdom tooth
I'm not ready for a girl to be in my room
Got a bed against the wall I refuse to move
I'm in love with the wrong girl
You belong in my heart but I couldn't make room
It's just as well you're a portrait of our time
A tortured girl with a body that won't leave my mind
I'm in love with the wrong girl
I can't settle down til my body's been overcome
I'll believe in anyone who would shoot me dead
I want a girl who'll put a bullet right in my head
I'm in love with whoever is in my bed
