Always You 04:44
Nobody’s even asking ‘bout you Seems they’d soon forget But I could never do that to you They didn’t know you like I did We roamed on phones and talked in hushed tones Lest we be found out But we were alone wishing someone noticed what we were about Always true, always blue Some seem to come to right and save us Then only just to save themselves Left out to dry in a white tornado The midday sunlight at your back Well it always blew, we always knew I was born with a crook inside always trying to cheat fate Before I know the mess I’ve made I’m halfway out of state Distance is as distance does Day to day just falls away Confined to dreams, our concession prizes For this glow that will not fade Always due, always you

Don't Go Mad 03:31
Sane is on the mend Til then we’ll just pretend Don’t go mad Loved ones they do die You’ll be the first to cry It’s always a day away You always end up ok Don’t go mad Crawling on your insides Gnawing on your lip Don’t go mad Shaking from the unknown Always feeling half grown Don’t go mad There’s something out there somewhere With your burden you share Don’t go mad That owl hoots at my door As I lay on the floor Singin don’t go mad
3.
Born To Lose 03:33
Kicked from the bed to the couch to the floor You’d think I could show myself the door I ain’t looking to score no more Just don’t know what for Hanging by the minutes in this sentence chore You always seem to need me when the black night comes And you’re kind enough to feed me as the boob box hums And if you’re thinking of breaking my heart in your arms tonight Baby I was born to lose. It’d be alright You fawn and then you yawn yeah and then just feign affection Don’t you want the one you invited in? Our hearts are legendary Still the ills upend Coughing on the change that we can’t spend Taking forever waiting for you to take me in forever more Lying on pins and needles like love’s last lonely whore And if you’re thinking of breaking my heart in your arms tonight Baby I was born to lose. It’d be alright I can see tomorrow and that’s more than I could see today So if you’re wishing to spare me sorrow Just wish that wish away And if you’re thinking of breaking my heart in your arms tonight Baby I was born to lose. It’d be alright

Beermerica 02:58
Feeding on foie and figs Choking on cotes du rhone A king of his own league going down the road alone There’s a blonde wolf in the sky He used to be my guide Wonder if he’d know me now flash fried and frozen in my new grind I’m stuck in music city with those Nashville blues again Drive down the row congratulations signs For “God Bless Beermerica” My taste for flavor dying You want variety? Shit we got both types Ye nuevo country and all the one forms of Jack White, I might Stuck in music city with those Nashville blues again Come for the sangin career Stay for the wait job, so dear Got a bible on my tailgate In a pair of Daisy Dukes
5.
Help 03:57
Last time I went crazy I couldn’t even move My eyes locked like lasers on my new favorite pair of shoes Clothes piled to the ceiling and a sure sinking feeling There’s just no easy way in dealing with the reeling But I want to help you I want to help you help me I want to help you I want to help you help me Yeah and running it off It fiends on you friend But you’re so cunning and soft And you mean the means to an end And I want to help you I want to help you help me I want to help you I want to help you help me You think you don’t phase me And at times I guess it’s true Hence the expense of distance where ever apart we grew But I’ve got nothing but love for you
6.
I Forget 04:54
I forget I’m the scene of a crime I forget I’m in trouble all the time I forget who what why when where And I forget if I even care Will you remember? Cuz I forget I forget the world is on my shoulders I forget it’s cold and getting colder I forget that time is of the essence And I forget to hold on to it tight Will you remember? Cuz I forget Forget the maze the runs our days Forget the fights that ruins our nights Forget the pains that don’t go away Forget the poisonous words we say Forget I ever brought it up Forget not love Forget not love I remember what first caused us to be And I remember you softly holding me I remember all we’ve not done yet And I’ll remember to try not to forget
7.
It 03:25
Put my love in your love and love it Talk with me and bring it sweet relief Put my love in your love and love it Unfurl all the light that’s still beneath It’s not but a line And it’s not by design It’s not some pending deal It’s not a pill All will be revealed Just put my love in your love and love it Fill my eyes with your sleeping face Put my love in your love and love it Fill this house just filled with empty space The tune is in my head But with no purpose Leaves me for dead There’s no reason for just to rhyme So let me say this nothing at all
8.
Known Ya 05:16
Lortabs and whole milk with a twist of lime At home with the lonely party just about supper time You dropped by I didn’t know just what I would fix Put your tongue down my throat and brought out your bag of tricks But now you’re going to California And this I understand I’d only wanted to’ve known ya Now I don’t think I can Inside most nights you could see the ripple of my fire reflecting on the walls Guess those nights I was seeing triple and feeling three times tall Drove a long drunken way to see you Told me bring it on despite the trip But I found you sleeping, bleeding on your pillow Like something straight out of Flaming Lips But now you’re going to California And this I understand I’d only wanted to’ve known ya You know me Tragically romantic Hopelessly lost in transit But its kept my meat clean and my heart a dream Like a thought I think I thunk Saw you on the Bookface Titled in a relationship with Head Case Last I knew you told me to shoo ‘Cept only kindly like you do But now you’re going to California And this I understand I’d only wanted to’ve known ya Now I don’t think I can
9.
You always called me your sweet prince With sincerity and no pretense We made a place and case for love Such a shame where it ends up I never thought it would be so hard to give my heart away And all that you taught me has brought me this far But now I stand alone A blessed mess on my own When all the pretty things are gone Now it seems a race to be erased From the chase to find another face That lead me down dark and lonely halls Where pictures on crooked walls And the trinkets and love letters sealed by your kiss They never lose their scent Dream, seems a dream That it came and then went In the name of moving on So wrong for just a song When all the pretty things are gone
10.
Teller 02:43
I’m in love with my teller Oh how can I tell her all I need lies behind that thick glass I trust you with my money so please be my honey And give me a piece of that ass I’m a sucker for your suckers We’d make great fff lovers Give my lonelies a pass I do my banking with you and I’m banking on you To make this a bond that will last I’m in love with my teller My teller is Taylor Like to tell her I’d never fail her But I know that deep down ain’t true I’m only human stumbling on fumes and watching my bummers accrue But her smile takes my frown Interest could compound I like drawer pulling too My fortune, you see, is less cash received Pull me out of this pneumatic tube I’m in love with my teller You to and you fro right from in the front row Still I can’t see if there’s any use You give me that warm cool hotel feeling With a touch of the downtown quick stop blues My love don’t compute but she’s so cute in her suit And lord knows those glasses don’t hurt What’s say we scoot with what’s left of their loot Get you into my Motley Crue shirt I’m in love with my teller
11.
Sound 02:21
I got booze soothing the pain that it creates It makes new takings for what the taking takes And I don’t wanna go gone as long as there is song Whispering that I’m not wrong I got doomsday makings making in the makes It’s a fool’s paradise, forsaking bread for cake And I don’t wanna go home My heart is where I roam But somehow It’s fake Dark and sky blue my heart it do survive I thank all moments that be keeping me alive And I’m gonna be around as long as there is sound That moves me rightly up and down Hoo bah Some ole numb dumb fumbling finds me in the rough But it’s in the rough that I grow sweetly tough And I don’t ever wanna change Even as I grow stranger strange It’s just a constant rearrange Hoo bah
12.
Radios 03:23
I remember waiting hours in my mama’s Vega Just to hear that one Thomas Dolby hit Now it’s hard to wait for buffering Will I get the right torrents?! To stream together all the Maroon 5 shit?!?! Gone are the days of hearing something amazing On mom’s radio Or painting my old house after it became a preschool For punishment at fifteen for wrecking a car I listened on repeat to a tape of Physical Graffiti Catching smoke breaks with my friend T Mabry But gone are the days of hearing something amazing On my sister’s radio Hand job and Clapton Cocaine Still Of The Night and Tawny Kitaen Well I guess it’s no one’s fault R.E.M. Catapult Or the first time I heard Hot Legs Got a tingle in my Toughskins Right around the ripe old age of six Or riding with my daddy listening to Merle Haggard Shopping For Dresses / Going Where The Lonely Go But gone are the days of hearing something amazing On my diddy’s radio
13.
The Close 05:43
Sliding out of view and out of frame No one ever stays the same The rules are laid I only obey What can I say This gone away Sweet sad surge Paved ways unpaved Waves now go unwaved Turning now to motion fade Calm panic pounds like a soft parade Heart engine failed, connection lost This is a wash If I could only be me and not what I am If chaos could simply understand That but one life, to take that to heart And live in skin and only in end part But peace ceased in me Peace ceased in you Now there’s that wall we run into So in goes the close Outcome, the loss This is a wash
