ER Lights

And it hurts me to see you this way
Going on and on for days
It feels like its taking forever
I wish I could make it better
Keep holding on
ER Lights as the dawn
And I swear
I won't walk away

What You Gonna Do
04:41

They said things'll get worse before they get better
By this they mean 'things'll get worse for you'
At best I was weak from all the blood letters
and all they said sadly came true
Its like my head against the writing on the wall
My face is so close I can't read anything at all
It was a retreat from an army of bedwetters
I've felt this before but it still stung
will things get worse?
ask me when the checks run out
But I was finally able to breathe with my neck under the bottom rung
just like my head against it
Grabbed by the hair dragged to the killing floor
My punishment for not following your war
But what you gonna do
When we find you
You tired empty suit
What you gonna do
They said things'll get worse before they get better
Yeah we've heard it all before
Nothing changed when the checks ran out
and all my blood was on the floor
just like my head against it
Grabbed by the hair dragged to the killing floor
My punishment for not following your war
But what you gonna do
when we find you
You tired empty suit
What you gonna do
When we find you

Stand Up

Stand up baby
Bootblack boiling blood
pumps through my heart
and swayback baby I was dreaming of you
It all started with the captain when
he gave the order for the 9 tailed whip
and swayback baby I was dreaming of you
Stand up baby
Storm clouds gathered
when we chose our battle
and swayback baby I was dreaming of you
At first light the cabin doors were kicked in
and all the officers were put off the ship
and swayback baby I was dreaming of you
(We won't fall in line)
Don't fall in line again just to live under their thumb
Keelhaul the captain
while I turn all the maps to ash
and swayback baby I was dreaming of you
Now getting lost is a full time job
and my search goes on around the clock
and swayback baby I was dreaming of you
(We won't fall in line)
Don't fall in line again just to live under their thumb

The Mission
03:21
|

|
Awake
The sound of mission bells through the waves
Stone Grave
The storm has passed I guess I'm saved
(Sing love, sing and I'll find you again)
High and dry
and the ocean swims in your eyes
am I justified now I've made your song my life
Slip beneath the waves and all you had to say was 'wait'
and I'd stay there
All you have to say with my life slipping away is 'wait'
and I'd stay there

Long Time No See
03:33
|
|||
|
Long time no see
was the last thing that you said to me
Long time no see
now close your eyes and go to sleep
Let the morphine (Let dilaudid) do her work
Let it numb you while we hurt
And if you don't open your eyes my life will change
but long may you reign

Notes From the Road
05:32
|

It's not waiting if you don't come back
It's not lost if you get the bends
Wake up tired in the middle of the road
how I got here is anyone's guess
A week is gone and no one's bothered me yet
about what I know, but that's another mess
Over and over her voice it bled
and it rolled like thunder around in my head
Over and over her faith fading slow
with this wheel in my hand I refuse to let go
I know I said I know what I'm doing
but then again I say a lot of things
Just enough time to deny what I said
but just enough time to believe it
Made up a day we lost stuck in the snow
yeah it's warm in the van and we got places to go
I don't get paid to have anything be fiar
as I'm living this backhanded dream of theirs
Over and over I remember you said
would you stop calling please cause my hope is near dead
over and over with her faith fading slow
with this wheel in my hands I refuse to let go
I know I said I know what I'm doing
but then again I say a lot of things
Just enough time to deny what I said
but just enough time to believe it
It's not waiting if you don't come home

We Lost Our Way
05:21
|
|||
|
We were docked at some lost end of the earth
when death's door I had opened
Anchors away and a drink to the departed
In my mind your face was frozen
We won't be back home
We'll sleep with Davie Jones
we'll never again see the shore
Your song drags me below
It was suicide but around the Horn we go
Is that where your heart was fused with mine
before I was ripped from your arms and dragged ashore
oh but I guarantee we're lost this time
We won't be back home
We'll sleep with Davie Jones
we'll never again see the shore
Your song drags me below
The sea became angry
Woah oh
we lost our way
that blessed day
The wind it was screaming
Woah oh
it was you my love
My search is done
With bodys broken on these jagged rocks
I lay silently bleeding
and my eyes fading to my final reward
It's just your voice I am hearing
SLEEP MY LOVE
The sea became angry
Woah oh
we lost our way
that blessed day
The wind it was screaming
Woah oh
it was you my love
My search is done

Pharmaceutical Fire
04:08
|

|
I can't sleep and I hurt when I'm awake
teeth rattle in my head
lines keep crossing in time to the sound
of the sun comming up and going down
Coming all the way down
Can't see my hands infront of me
can't recall what you said
time is bought and sold, laid to waste
and chopped up fine on the kitchenette
Sun coming all the way down
We fall so far behind these thin white lies
We're chasing vapor trails on mirror skies
Can't feel my eyes in my head
Glue them to the tv then
is the sun coming up or is it just about to set
I can't sleep and I hurt when I'm awake
teeth rattle in my head
lines keep crossing in time to the sound
of the sun comming up and going down
Coming all the way down
We fall so far behind these thin white lies
We're chasing vapor trails on mirror skies
Recall our time spent out of sight out of mind
like dragons breathing Pharmaceutical fire
Out of sight out of mind
Sun coming all the way down

Quake City Crawl
05:17
|
|||
|
Save me you big time spender
I'm in way over my head
Under this freeway and
these bloody broken hands
This walk was never planned
so let's have a drink and misunderstand
All I can remember was police
doing the quake city crawl
Blue lights and all
I had on my mind was 'rocks or neat'
Until I hit the wall
I could stand to bleed
When the world stopped spinning
I was set free
Face down on a red curb
and torn from head to feet
Things have a way of not working out how we planned
So lets all have a drink and misunderstand
All I can remember was police
doing the quake city crawl
Blue lights and all
I had on my mind was 'rocks or neat'
Until I hit the wall
I could stand to bleed
In a fight with my fist and the wall
the whiskey won
The whiskey won
Or so they said
The whiskey won
And so I bled
the whiskey won

Novocaine
03:59
|

|
Dust in the sun
Floating like snow
The skin of a thousand years ago
It's not who we are
It's who we know
The skin of a thousand years ago
You settle like Novocaine
around any fear that I've known
You settle like novocaine
around any hurt that I've known
The universe around us epands and explodes
They say it's all dust but who really knows
Where does it come from
where do we go
The skin of a billion years ago
You settle like Novocaine
around any fear that I've known
You settle like novocaine
around any hurt that I've known
