Swan Song 02:31
Earth piled like a wave just about to break You know I wanna hear your swan song but it’s just so damn hard to sing along I’m a palm tree in the snow swirling in a shaken globe You know I hate to see you go I’ve never asked the time to move this slow
2.
I've been out of the habit of closing eyes to feel the light I've seen too many faces through the glass not looking back I could bury the hatchet maybe run find the next clean slate and fuck it up White doves playing the strings Flower pedals cover the sheets no it doesn't work like that when you're gone all day and lovin' is just another chore lovin' is just another chore
3.
Rings 02:46
Losing count in the rings of a tree older than I can comprehend Do I really seek eternity Without the weight of time there’s no need to make my rhymes match When all the shadows collapse there’s no where left to hide Thrown like a stone in the stream Edges worn smooth against my world I give up all that comes lose Losing count in the leaves that fall around my feet and crumble into dirt Do I really need to keep them all with me Are we on the losing team if nobody's playing for keeps The truth likes to whisper when the room is full of grief Thrown like a stone in the stream Edges worn smooth against my world I give up all that comes lose
4.
Rewind 03:06
Back here again like a rewind Back in the same space in time How could it be that I’m getting myself back again yet you feel that you’re losing control You wanna run me down the list you keep of my sins Nothing to offer up from the bottom of a den You know I’d really rather fall down some stairs There was a hundred dreams I was ready to sow Stepping from stone to stone for what you call home Nowhere ever had it all Nothing good enough I thought you were right But you’re the right kind of wrong Now you wanna run me down the list you keep of my sins You know I’d really rather fall down some stairs You wanna run me down the list you keep of my sins Nothing to offer up from the bottom of my soul

Actor's Talk 03:34
6.
I was looking to the sky when a banner plane flew by It said I’ll see you in hell so i went back inside I got a letter in the mail Mother Mary’s on the trail If I give them some dough they’ll bring her home to my wife Condors circle like a halo of thorns placed on our forehead while black smoke is rising to incredible heights The sun comes up like a search light We awake in a crater where a factory burned down all through the night
7.
We are the gold buyers We are the gold buyers Lover of guns Deliver our funds From the digital to the physical Five elbows for the mole Detester of taxes Laundromatador I don’t adore your mind But I need your crimes Five elbows for the mole We are the gold buyers We are the gold buyers Leaves on the tree Turn to crystal beads Calf to cow Cup to mouth
8.
Islands 03:26
Is it love to watch you be trampled by your own damn dreams Cause I can’t find a subtle way to prove I watched us fade I’m losing the energy to rise above the misery The truth is time will steal what you won’t carry now I'm floating on top of floods tearing through the town to islands alone Islands alone It’s the salt that makes you sweet even when you’re pushing me Because patience is a lonely game that two were meant to play But oh what’s the point of it If it never ends The truth is time will steal what you won’t carry now I'm floating on top of floods tearing through the town to islands alone to islands alone
9.
Pass it Away 03:52
Red dead song bird A voice that lingers She’s got you in a cast like a statue It’s not blind hate in her green eyes She’s a long distance runner from love She‘s not an actor but she could get an Oscar for making you believe that lie It’s neither here nor there It’s not my watch to wind but it’s still a pin ball in my mind Hey look what’s flying through the pines Mother stork gripping a copperhead gonna feed it to her hungry babies Sometimes you just get born in the top of a tree Pass it away Exhale a rushing gale If you come to me with a buckshot loaded soul All I can do is Pass it away Exhale a rushing gale If I come to you with a buckshot loaded soul
10.
Try to force me to come to heal But I can smell that shit ain’t real Hang a carrot like I’m a mule At least my mother didn’t raise a fool I’m not the fix for your broken soul Just cause you were high Doesn’t mean I can let it go You tell me you’re about to die Well maybe that’s true If your life was a lie I thought if I tried I could understand But you’re always counting on a second chance You take love and you break it down Like a piece of bread on a nest of ants I’m not the fix for your broken soul Just cause you were high Doesn’t mean I can let it go You tell me you’re about to die Well maybe that’s true if your life is a lie Dropped out with that vampire PhD Here’s a pill for the pills For the other pills The metals mix the glass is black Amyloid plaques Memory conveniently collapses
