How do I know you?
I ain’t seen you around
In a long time baby
You were a girl then, a woman now
And how do you speak with such disdain for me?
Cause I know girl that I brought you some peace
So won’t you tell me your name?
And I’ll pull you from your friends
We can take a walk around
Until this funkin’ never ends
Dance until the end
What did you say girl?
Yes, I know what you wanna do
Drinking and a dancing and a fucking now baby
Where the world we’re rocking through
And how did you know that I had lost my game?
It’s not enough to play this stuff
You have to feel the drink again
So won’t you lend me your name?
You won’t have to hide from your friends
We can run around outside
And get funkin’ all again
Oh I said this Ride
Has got me feeling love inside
And I tell you I know
Where your boyfriend’s gonna go,
Where you gonna go?
So now I got your name!
And I’ve had it with your friends
So let’s run the fuck outside
And get our dance on track again
Oh I’ll tell you my Ride
Has got me bleeding love inside
Oh I’ll tell you we know
Just where your old one’s gonna go
And we’ll go on home
Oh I’ll tell you I lied
Oh yes girl I know
Where your dancing wants to go
Where we gonna go?

Verse 1
Step into my cells
And wash yourself around my veins
I’ve been looking for this firing squad
To force you in my brain
Now just take a step back
Watch my track
It’s quick and ticks your eyes to black
Slip in and feel the sheets lose slack
And then we go on sliding back
Down to this place
Where my fingers start to play
Verse 2
Everybody knows
And everybody does it too
So why wait for that right moment
Cause it’s never gonna come
I know it’s a hiccup
This lust
Slips me right into your pocket
Now girl shift this lovely rocket
I’ve been looking for a shot
To drop this lock
And cop your body rock
And crave this dance we do
Chorus 1
Let’s just get better now yeah
And I don’t want to part as friends baby
So let’s just get better now yeah
Verse 3
Don’t you wanna play?
We never said a word before
But when I looked to the next page
I saw we wished we would
And in this zero sum game of love
Where we add to subtract
A message of fact
Is I don’t expect to be the only one to reminisce
About the things we should have done
Chorus 2
Let’s just get better now yeah
And I know that you liked it too baby
So Let’s just get better now yeah
Verse 4
I know we don’t know what’s up
But everybody likes to fuck
So just slip around and bite down
Crave the sound and get your ground
Love is in the room.
Chorus 3
Let’s just get better now yeah
And I don’t want to wait around baby
So let’s just better now yeah
And I’ll go tell everyone, that we both thought it was dumb
It’s our secret now honey
So call me if you want to
My friend
Let’s just get better now yeah

Oh I’ve been waiting way too long
And I feel like I’m wasting time

Verse 1
These solid white ropes have been dragging me down
Too much of my skin has been nailed to the ground
When walking on dirt my bare feet they sting,
But to touch the earth is a bittersweet feeling
Chorus
Don’t you ever
Don’t you ever blame this hell on me
Don’t you ever
Cause the past I have yet to meet
Verse 2
Can you tell that I have busted the clouds?
While I know they’re speaking out the side of their mouths
And I’ll raise him a glass to pay him a toast
While I’m silently screaming that I’m not a ghost
Chorus 2
Don’t you ever
Don’t you ever blame this hell on me
Don’t you ever
Cause I have so much more I need to see
I am raging
And I’m tearing all of my clothes to see
All is causing
All is faulting me too bleed
Chorus Vamp
Hell No,
Not a Ghost
Verse 3
If I stay a hermit tied close to the trees
Would you baffle the masses to love my leaves?
I’ll take spinners and grinners and sinners alike
Because even with God they are willing to fight
Chorus 3
Don’t you ever
Don’t you ever blame this hell on me
Don’t you ever
Tell me God does not want to see
Cause I’ll hold out
I’ll hold out to what I believe
All this passion
All is causing me to bleed
Chorus Vamp
Hell No
Not a Ghost

Verse 1
Biting on your lip brings me to my knees
Crushing yourself up on top of me
Don’t you see what you’ve done to me?
Uddertuggin’, milk it for all it’s worth
Draw all of my pleasure from you girl
Don’t you see what you’ve done to me?
Chorus 1
I’m gonna get you raw
Cropped out onto the straw
And we roll until my points break against your skin
A lovely little secret that we both draw in
Don’t you see what you’ve done to me?
Verse 2
Sweet sum little game going at this rate
Slip and slide myself into your shade
Don’t you see what you’ve done to me?
Now I’m screwed inside a solid craze
We’re back and forth, swim in this haze
Don’t you see what you’ve done to me?
Chorus 2
I’m calling on this love
Don’t ever feel I have enough
Swim right into the bitter and breaking wave
Surf along your body smooth, so clear my dame
Don’t you see what you’ve done to me?

Verse 1
I turn to walk outside and she slides her hand across my back to go and lead the way
I can’t see no difference between me and him, but their ain’t no convincing a girl like her to stay
Since she told me what she’s done there ain’t been no one around to calm me quite like a bottle of whiskey done
So I slide back inside and try to spill away the anger so I don’t0 lay into her the way she wants
Pre Chorus
I’ve been feeling so lost in this space
Between the man that I am and the one that gives some grace
So I take one shot of whiskey
Two shots I’m done
It’ll take me three days to get sober
And I’m gone
And I’m gone
Verse 2
Don’t you ever see past the all the bull shit you told, all the lies you sewed, all the pain that you laid
I ain’t one to complain but damn girl I’m sick of being the one to have listen to you try to save your name
Pre Chorus
Ain’t no one know you like I do
Get back the idea of some man that crept beside you
So I’ll take one shot of whiskey
Two shots I’m done
It’ll take me three days to get sober
And I’m gone
And I’m gone
Pre Chorus 3
God I’m so lost between these sheets of pain
Sliding down to the bottom of a bottle to ease my pain
So I'll take one shot of whiskey
Two shots I'm done
It'll take us three days to get sober
Then I’m gone
Then I’m gone…

Scream

Verse 1
She runs me high and tight
Then she runs me right into the ground
And I become lost in her ways
Screaming out so that I am found
And as a needle pulls a thread
She ties me right into the ground
But her rope is choking me
So that I can’t speak a sound
Chorus 1
And I scream out loud
And I follow the crowd
From myself I will fall
Climbing over the wall
My back to the wall
Verse 2
Sergeant screams “stop running, you better just fall in line”
“You’ll never see what I see or do, you’ll always be behind”
And I don’t know what to believe I can’t seem to make up my mind
But this whiplash keeps coming, I wanna blow this shit right out my mind
Chorus 2
(Same as Chorus 1)
Bridge
And I can’t stop screaming
I can’t stop changing my mind
And I want to believe that
They were never, never, never so blind
And I’m walking right out
I’m walking right out my mind
She’s got me running back in time

Verse 1
These tones that emit from my head
Have blinded me with so much fear
And these notes that still wave to the staves
Are leaving the paper and hitting your ears
Chorus
You can call me a lover, and that’s all
But I’ll still play you a song for the fall
And my love is busting the calls that you threw
Verse 2
And these verses that you write
Well I’ll push them all aside
In angst of you leaving me, I want you to stay
You said that you love me, but I watch you hide
Chorus
Don’t you tell me you won’t let me fall
Falsified lines, yeah I’m sick of them all
But my love is busting the calls that you threw
Bridge
All these words, they’re about to blow
And from inside this mess we don’t know
That we’re dying to find
A reason, a lie
Something that makes us feel like we might have more time
To crawl back to you
Chorus Ext.
Oh these ideas that we played
And this cage that we made
Oh we’ll lock ourselves up
And we’ll drink from this cup
We’ll twist and turn, light and burn
Call it lust but how I just yearn
To crawl back to you
Oh to crawl back to you
Outro
There’ll be hellfire for these sins (x3)
There’ll be hellfire, there’ll be hellfire
There’ll be love

I Feel Alive

Verse 1
I’ve been draggin’ my hands across the floor
I’ve been kicking with Ravens, beaks are red
All these maggots are eatin’ at my core
Mixing up all these questions in my head
Verse 2
Don’t you know that It comes through what you say?
Bleeding in through the bones of what you do
How you gonna get back here either way?
Driving up through the dirt your ghost now flew
Chorus
I said oh, I feel alive
Don’t you know that I got someplace I can hide?
And Oh, while I lie awake
I’m been dreaming about all my greatest mistakes
Oh while I lie awake
Verse 3
Barring any regrets while in my grave
I don’t see myself busting out the earth
I hope in death my peace will serve its place
Headed back to the room before my birth
Chorus
I said oh I feel alive
Don’t you know that I got someplace I can hide
And Oh while I lie awake
I’ve been dreaming about all my greatest mistakes
Oh while I lie awake
Oh while I lie awake
I feel alive
Verse 4
Down the barrel these rounds now kick my head
Silence anger while breath has left my core
While I’m thinking of black to take this space
I’ll be kicking with ravens evermore
Oh I dig it
Oh I dig it
Oh I dig it

What If
06:15
|
|||
|
Verse 1
What if I told you, that I had my suspicions,
That this just ain’t going as we planned
Some indications say we best prepare for failure
And leave this right on where it stands
Verse 2
What If I told you that I had fallen victim
And My mind had finally given way
To some grand scheme and some catered pipeline dream
And somehow you might wanna stay
Pre-chorus
And I so ooh, child, things will get better
Before the end we’ll get ahead
And I said ooh child, things will get brighter
And of this old skin we will shed
Verse 3
What if I told you that I get so frustrated
When you tell me that I’m wrong
I’ll give you the truth, though it’s not the same for you
And your just mad cause I’m far gone
Verse 4
What if you told me that “there was no right answer
“It’s all fabrication in your head
“There’s no proof or facts, there’s only validation”
And I should take right back every word I said
Pre Chorus
And I’d say ooh child, I know you’ll fight this
And contextualize what’s out of place
And I said ooh child, I know you’ll fight this
That while I’m getting angry
A smile is on your face
Chorus
And I said “I know a little better
“Than to see these things from solely my point of view”
And I said “I have learned a bit since I was young
“And some of these shots, they’re worth just taking to”
Verse 5
What If I told you that this was my intention
To hold fast while this storm is strong
To sacrifice my ship, but never bail out, lose myself to quick
And wait for the sun to come along
Verse 6
And yes girl, there’s a method to my increased derangement
And my candor is refined
So if you feel yourself lose calm in navigation
Why don’t you tie your boat right up next to mine?
Chorus
And I said “I know a little better
“Than to see these things from solely my point of view”
And I said “I have learned a bit since I was young
“And some of these shots, they’re worth just taking to”
Oh you know that I get a little angry
When I see you walking around with that smile on your face
Oh girl you know that I have learned a bit since I was young
And I know not to put what was out of place

Verse 1
Oh my god, I am full of sin
I’m going down to the river
I’m going to wash my body and clean it up again
And Oh, don’t you know, the devil caught me there
Says I’m a dead man walking
Another troubled soul in the portals of his prayer
And everybody’s there
Pre Chorus 1
This cold blue water may save my soul
But my troubled man, to him I fold
Oh preacher man, my blood is running cold
Verse 2
As rogue as I am, I am not in pain
There’s enough water here
To wash this sin, soaked in yellow stain
It grieves in me how heaven seems so grim
Who’s judge among us?
Who hits switch to skin and then can let me in?
I’m soaked in yellow sin
Pre Chorus 2
Don’t choke me now, I’m walking free
The river bank soaked me underneath
Cloak cover me, blue water cover me
Chorus
Everybody yell (x3)
Everybody said I’m going to hell
(x2)
Bridge
Don’t sink your teeth right in me
Cause this sunkin’ stone may drag me underneath
And we may die, and drown my soul to keep
But at least we’re free
No Devil come, no Devil in my sleep

(Same as chorus 1)
Breakdown
I’m going down to the river, yes I know
I’m going down to the river, oh I know

Won’t you save me?
Then I’ll save my fucking self
Chorus 3
(Same as chorus 1)

Say old man
Oh won’t you save me please?
