Go and See and Conquer
02:31
|
|||
You came and saw and conquered
And what do you have to show?
A thousand years of fighting, brave warrior
But is an empty heart fair trade for a full ego?
Now go and see and conquer

Savannah
04:39
|

Oh, take me back, Savannah
These days just go so slow
Every scene repeating
It seems there's nothing new to show
Oh, fill me in, Savannah
There's so much I don't know
Lead me in the hand by the hand
In the water, by the toe
That's where you'll find me
Face down on the beach
With birds circling overhead, circling overhead
Back dancing from the dead
And the moon turning
Turning overhead, turning overhead
That's where we'll meet
Humina
Oh, take your place, Savannah
Of the figures in my head
In every song I've sung
In every book I've ever read
Oh, I take back, Savannah
Every word I've said
There is some purpose
To this path on which we're led
It's where the lines meet
Somewhere in between
With waves crashing over me
Crashing over me
There's some blurry sight to see
And the sun rising
Rising in the east
Fucking rising in the east
Rising over me
Humina
Oh, Savannah
Savannah won't tell me what this means

Keep Your Color
02:52
|
|||
Carry on, oh, little ones
Let not the world erase you away
Make of it what you will, just keep your color
Don't let yourselves fade to gray
You don't have to copy what you see
Please don't go that way
Keep your color, don't fade to gray
Keep your laughter, don't let it fade away
Carry on, oh, little ones
Let not the world erase you away
Follow my lead, I'll keep you colored
I'll not let you fade to gray
Climb up onto my shoulders, I know you'd love to
Look around at the world that surrounds you
You are not confined to gray
Don't you ever fade that way
Just please, please, please don't go that way
(Carry on, oh, little ones)
(Don't ever fade to gray/Don't let it fade away)
(Climb up onto my shoulders)

Miserable Shit
01:45
|
|||
Hold on, hold on, don't run to me just yet
Did you know I'm a piece of shit?
Selfish and ignorant, stubborn and belligerent
Get used to it
But hold on, hold on, don't run from me just yet
Which set of arms do you really see fit to run to?
Now hold on, hold on, don't hate the world just yet
Even if it's full of shit
Suck it in, swallow it, tell yourself you're used to it
You'll get used to it some day
So come on, come on, let's step out for a bit
Out among the rest of the miserable shit

Torch Song
02:56
|
|||
Oh, you got me the wrong way around
Oh, you got me the wrong way around
I say as I turn away
We get days just to watch them go by
Swim these rivers just to run them dry
Oh, we got things the wrong way around
Oh, we got things the wrong way around
You say as you turn to leave
We get these hearts just to feel them bleed
Get love just to know when it leaves
So you run, run, run, run
(It'll never be enough)
Set the world on fire
And it'll be just another torch song

Darkness Dark
03:49
|
|||
Get out of the cold, it's warm inside
Come rest your soul, come into the light
It's dark out there! Can you even see?
Well, neither can we, but at least we're happy
I'd rather be unable to see
In the darkness than be stricken blind by the bright side
But god damn, god damn, is this darkness dark
Oh, hush, you don't mean that! It's better this way
It's better warm and dark than cold, dark, and gray
Oh, how can you say that? How can you really
Welcome such sadness? At least we're happy
I'd rather be unable to see
In the darkness than be stricken blind by the bright side
But god damn, god damn is this darkness deep
If our parents lied about Santa
And our pastors were wrong about God
Then how can we be sure about anything?
And what can we believe if we know that we're not?
I'd rather be unable to see
In the darkness than be stricken blind by the bright side
But god damn, god damn is this darkness all-encompassing

Knifey from Now On
06:47
|
|||
You can keep me in your pocket
Or leave me on the side of the road
Anyway you go
You can go ahead and tease me
Just lead me along
Sing songs of my wrongs
You can keep me in your pocket
Or leave on the railway line
Counting those county lines
Noble sacrificer, your paradise earned
Take heed of these words
Noble sacrificer, your paradise burned
Take heed of these words
Darling, your fangs are showing
The street has merged with the sky
At long last! Hallelujah!
Your side's same as mine
At long last! Hallelujah!
To wit: a dagger in your side
At long last! Hallelujah!
Sing his praises and fear his gaze
Sing her praises and fear her gaze

One more video, one more game
Today can't end this way
Sitting alone in the same room I've been in all day
Not again
One more empty attempt
Tonight can't end this way
It's got to be worth it in the end
It can't all just be empty, can it?
It can't all just be in vain
Several hours, several days
What's the difference if it all feels the same?
It can't all just fly by this way
Please tell me it won't end this way

A Head Is Not a Home
05:21
|
|||
My face with no eyes
My face with no nose
My face with no mouth
And no teeth or tongue inside
My face with no skin
With no flesh hid within
My head with no face at all
My body with no arms
My body with no nose
My head with no body at all
What am, who am I without my face?
What am, who am I without my body?
What am, who am I without my mouth or teeth or tongue inside?
And what am, who am I without my eyes?
I am lost inside
I am stuck inside my head
Can you help me find
My legs, my arms, my mouth, my nose, my eyes?
A head is not a home and I am lost deep deep and stuck inside
What am, who am I without my face?
What am, who am I without my body?
What am, who am I without my mouth or teeth or tongue inside?
And what am, who am I without my eyes?
What am, who am I without my eyes?
What am, who am I?

Ken Is My Sweet Friend
03:35

Keep it all together
Keep it under lock and key
Keep it all in postcards
From places that you've never been
Keep it all in letters
Letters that you'll never write
Keep it all from lovers
Kiss them, tell them all will be alright
When they're gone, leave no trace
Of what you kept away
Keep it from your girlfriend
Keep it from your wife so sweet asleep tonight
Keep it from your parents
And anyone who would ever try
To see through you, I'm see through
You see right through to the other side
Tell me all your secrets
I might even tell you some of mine
I'm feeling kind of nervous
Can a mother fucker breathe?
No, I'll be fine
I think I'm turning into a stranger
Before your very eyes

Sundress
04:10
|
|||
I lie in bed and dreamt I never said that
I lie in bed deaf in muffled screams
My screams, my screams, my screams
This part doesn't really mean anything
You in your sundress
I can't help but smile and pretend
This isn't such a big mess
You say give it up, but I think I might give in
Rosalind Lutece
If it's a sin, I guess that it's a sin
We start to undress
Reshape our flesh, we are estranged again

I need you here
I need your care
Oh please by here
Speak to my softly, I need your care
I need you near
I need your warmth
Oh please be near
Hold me softly, I need your warmth
I need you, dear
I need your love
Oh please, dear, be near
Kiss me softly, I need your love
Kiss me softly, I need your love

Bethany in the Moonlight
03:53
|
|||
I went into the dead land
Unattributable to the sand
Unattributable like you
I went into the dead air
Pa just gave me a death cold stare
Yeah, and ma was there too
So don't wait for me
Too long
Oh, Bethany
Be gone
And I will find you in water
You aren't their favorite daughter
But I'm your favorite fool
And if I said I started a fire
Would you call me a liar?
Well, good, 'cause that's a lie
But, still we should run from here
Just you and I
Oh, we should run from here
While we're still burning inside
If there's some kind of love, dear
Found in these wastes here
Then it was worth the time
And if there's a place right
Here with you under the moonlight
Then, baby, we'll be fine
Ooh, it feels like a mighty long time
Baybaeiough, it feels like a mighty long tim
