Blood And Honey

No problem seeing
No problem doing
I got in trouble and you let me down
Am I the reason
You're not improving'?
The blood and honey gonna melt it down
I'm like a loaded gun in the room, there's no rest
Until you put me away
I ain't a bow on your neck, I'm the noose, stay in check
You'll have to learn it the same
You'll never see it coming', you'll never hear me coming'
(Just drink it down like a good boy, drink it down)
You'll never know what hit you, you'll thank me in the morning'
(Drink it down like a good boy if you think you got it)
Consider this a lesson, in manic indiscretions
(blood and honey, blood and honey)
You'll never see it coming', you'll never hear me coming'
Ain't got a reason
Ain't nothin' to it
Feel sick and lonely when I'm not around
Pick up the pieces
Go on and do it
The blood and honey gonna melt it down
I'm like a loaded gun in the room, there's no rest
Until you put me away
I ain't a bow on your neck, I'm the noose, stay in check
You'll have to learn it the same

Can't Catch Me
02:45
|
|||
I see you swimming in from way out
Silver dagger in your teeth
Hope you gotta better plan now
Than the one I see
How you flounder in the water
How you flail and gasp for air
I'll be standing on the dry land
You were almost there
Fall down, get up
You might as well give up
You can't stand losing but ya
You can't catch me
You fall behind, you're dead
I'm fifteen steps ahead
You can't stand knowing that ya
You can't catch me
I see you coming down the mountain
Silver bullet just for me
I hope you packed a better pistol
Than the one I see
How you stumble down the mountain
How you fall and cry for help
I'll be down here on the ground now
You can help yourself
Fall down, get up
You might as well give up
You can't stand losing but ya
You can't catch me
You fall behind, you're dead
I'm fifteen steps ahead
You can't stand knowing that ya
You can't catch me

Black Lion

I used to love you
Now I don't know how to feel
I would have died to
Kill she who taught you to steal
If it makes you feel better let's turn out the light
You see advantage, but the fact is I see best at night
Black Lion
I'm on fire
Black Lion
I'm on fire
You were so brave to
Crawl back on broken legs
And did it change you
To have to beg me for change
Sad and sorry, pleased with pity, please forgive me for it
Had to worry, grieved a little, feeling' better for it
Black Lion
I'm on fire
Black Lion
I'm on fire

The Devil You Know
02:28
|
|||
I’m not playin’ fair, I thought I warned ya
I thought you said playing fair was so tired
Get out a shovel, dig that hole a litter deeper,
Get on my level, (or) it’ll be a long night
It’s better, the devil you know
Than the devil you don’t
Better the devil you know
Cuz the devil he won’t
Take it easy on ya
Don’t try to help me now, it doesn’t matter
Don’t try to save me now, it doesn’t matter.
I made my bed, then I set it on fire
Get out a bucket gotta bail a little water
Put down the bottle it’ll be a long night
My shoulders can’t contain the weight
I’m making bad decisions
The other side decides my fate
To late, I burn all bridges

Broken Ropes

Head Heart Knife
I’m breaking’ up
Red Dark Light
I’ll make it up
Frozen hope
Just give it time
Broken Ropes
I’ll give you mine
Heat Love Pain
We’re out of luck
Cheap Luck Chain
It’s good enough
Hold them both
Then changed my mind
Broken ropes
Or broken lines
Stand Now Breathe
In single file
Feel Touch See
It’s been awhile
Rose from stone
It’s hard to bend
Broken Ropes
We’ll start again

Death Of The Sweetheart
02:43
|
|||
Shadows and whispers keep me up at night
Pacing the hallways half checking the lights
Half cold with terror locking windows up tight
A ghost of the lover I'd hoped you might be
A mountain of leavin', a fountain of teeth
You can't stop kickin' me even while you sleep
Sweetheart she's dead, it might as well have been me
Dashed on the rocks below a cliff by the sea
Gone with her is the fire she carried so long
Did anybody even notice she was gone?
Each night a pale horse with no skin on it's bones
Stands in the graveyard where imprinted in stone (it says)
"Here lies The Sweetheart may she rest here alone"
What about the heart they carved right into a tree?
What about the wine and roses milk and honey
Well I'll light a candle and I'll pretend nothin's wrong
And nobody even noticed she was gone

Shiver
04:52
|

You've broken every bone, that I own
I've been tryin so hard to move you
Burned down my house and home, then atoned
I've been tryin so hard to lose you
You give me a chance, then take it back, til i'm fallin apart
I'm in a trance, you make my feet stand still
You've blinded both my eyes, no surprise
I've been tryin so hard to see you
I kept up my disguise, realized
That I've been tryin too hard to feel you
You give me a chance, then take it back, now i'm fallin apart
I'm in a trance, you make my feet stand still
Tighten the knot until my heart stops, fallin apart
Know in advance, you're gonna make me kill
Well, you shiver everywhere that I kiss
I've been tryin so hard to shake you
You fried my poor brain to a crisp
I've been tryin so hard to take you
You give me a chance, then take it back, now i'm fallin apart
I'm in a trance, you make my feet stand still
Tighten the knot until my heart stops, fallin apart
I see in advance, I'm gonna have to kill

Float Like The Smoke
02:50
|
|||
I'm on a straight line, I'm on a pony
I'm gonna take mine, in a bag
You non-believers, you'll never see us
Sit with the sleepers, In the back
I float like the smoke to the ceiling
Pay no mind to dust on the floor
I see it all from the top, watch you evaporatin
I got time to take a little more
This ain't a good time, to keep your head dry
Sink with the sailors, in the deep
You non-partakers, you'll never break us
I'll spot a faker, in my sleep
I float like the smoke to the ceilin
Pay no mind to dust on the floor
I see it all from the top, watch you evaporatin
I got time to take a whole lot more
It's no use settlin down
(You should know that by now)
It's too late to turn around
(You should know that by now)
You gotta bleed, you gotta want it
Ya gotta get right, to the point
Ain't got no answers, don't know no problems
Not like it matters, in this joint
I float like the smoke to the cei-lin
Pay no mind to dust on the floor
I see it all from the top, you watch me operatin
I got time to take a little more
I got time to take a little more
I got time to take a whole lot more

Hammer & Nail
04:34
|
|||
Half my mind’s on fire while the other half’s asleep
You think you a doctor
You don’t know what’s best for me
That suitcase full of pills contains no cures or remedies
You think you a doctor
But you don’t have what I need
Half the time feels like I’m spending half my time in jail
You think you a hammer & everything looks like a nail
But this is not resistin’ this is bittersweet farewell
You think you a hammer, everything looks like a nail
The enemy that you see can’t be real, you understand
You say you a fighter, but the truth is far less grand
You seethe in anonymity, so bellicose and bland
You say you a fighter, but that don’t make you a man

Unoriginal Heartbreak
06:09
|
|||
You're here, and it's a waste of time
We go a-a-all around
Someone understands and someone missed the meaning
The fear, of not staying in line's
Taking o-o-over now
Everybody wants to see what's coming next
Maybe there’s a point at which you’re better without me Maybe this ain’t worth an unoriginal heartbreak
The times, I over-analyzed
Aren't a-a-all to blame
Someone understands that this one bears repeating
Deny, what you couldn't disguise
Ain't it a-a-all the same
Everybody wants to see it fall apart
Maybe there’s a point at which you’re better without me Maybe this ain’t worth an unoriginal heartbreak
Besides, your apparent dislike
Of a-a-all things grey
Listen for the sound of all your color fading
Abide, by the rules you decide
Though they always seem to change
Everybody's gone there's no one left but you
Maybe there’s a point at which you’re better without me Maybe this ain’t worth an unoriginal heartbreak

Love, In Any Dimension
03:00
|
|||
Time and Space may fall apart, they say
Laws of reality will drift a-way
But even if the sun went out today
All I care about is you
Cuz it’s love, in any dimension
Your hesitations have no bearings here
It’s just love, in every direction
I'm a reflection of you
Oooh ooooh
We are entangled
No matter how far or near
Oooh ooooh
We are entangled
Wherever you are, it feels like you're right here
I lie awake and watch the stars float by
Small enough to fit a needle's eye
But if they ever do in fact collide
I'll still be here with you
Cuz it’s love, in any dimension
Your hesitations have no bearings here
It’s just love, in every direction
I'm a reflection of you
