The Ladder 03:33
lyrics
buy track
I got a call last week. My own life was in danger. I freaked the fuck out And told my wife I didn't need her. I took the short way down - I fell off the ladder. You tried to help me out. The father of nations as my mentor. But the prodigal never ran a second or third time. No kind of cushion when I put my foot down. Never forgetting the tale of my demise Do your evil spirits know the spirits in my mind? I got a call last week. I fucked up. Now it's over. I split down the track Limping into next October. The second son always runs until there's no time. Never expecting a lookback or slowdown Always forgetting if the next turns a sharp one Do your evil spirits know the spirits in my mind?

Jacob Held High 05:53
lyrics
buy track
I killed off my libido By fucking it too hard. I haven't had much to cling to But I've had time to fall apart. And I tore out my reflection. It seemed broken from the start But mama told me not to worry. She said I'd have to clean the shards. Whatever it was, well, it's not anymore. I spent years in repentance, kissing the floor And I sang glory, glory. Jacob held high Ripped the camel out the needle's eye Then I asked a few questions, wouldn't take the advice. Hoped to learn and lessen, but I know I didn't. I sold off my importance With a pile of thick, black tar And I wondered what to forfeit To make my family disregard The mound of introspection That's seemed to plague me from the start. Someone told me not to worry. Someone said I'm what I'm not. Whatever it was, well, it's not anymore. I spent years in repentance, kissing the floor And I sang glory, glory. Jacob held high Ripped the camel out the needle's eye Then I asked a few questions, wouldn't take the advice. Hoped to learn and lessen, but I know I didn't. I burnt a trench full of maggots alive Then I butchered my brain, the thorn in my side And I left with a whisper: "I hate paradise". Hoped to learn and lessen, but I know I didn't Then I killed off my libido By fucking it too hard. I always said I'd make a breakthrough. Never said I'd fall apart. Never said I'd fall apart. Never said I'd fall apart. I drained out my blood and begged for more, But I'm still alive, so that's just a metaphor. Raised my wrist for none to see. Well, I never claimed stability.

Track 8 02:15
lyrics
buy track
I can't cum. I can't eat. I spent the last 16 hours Trying to bore myself to sleep When I awake to a drum Way off beat. It doesn't sound right. The tempo's wrong. Fuck a metronome Cause I've got heart That speaks But doesn't sing. Well, I noticed You said you wanted to go back to Sunday. Are you sure?

All Treasure 03:59
lyrics
buy track
I want you so bad that I can't face it. If my body broke and that was a surprise Would you remediate it? I'd live for that chance. Deadbeat in hopeless romance. I'd be an after thought, A speck of lent Or I'd succumb to a voice of self hatred. All treasure is shit unless I know where I buried it. All treasure is shit unless I know where I buried it. There's a whole lot less than nothing to make me hurt a little less. All treasure is shit unless I know where I buried it. I want you so bad that I can't take it. If I lost my fix and there was nothing to find Maybe you could replace it. I'm terrified, too. Deadset on my crumbling virtue. Living in aftershock, in decadence. Blinded by your images. All treasure is shit unless I know where I buried it. All treasure is shit unless I know where I buried it. There's a whole lot less than nothing to make me hurt a little less. All treasure is shit unless I know where I buried it.

The Great Bottom Lake 03:32
lyrics
buy track
Count me in, Then drag me out of this hellhole. Stars align and worlds-a-spin For a chance to swim in the Great Bottom Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake (It's hell on earth and there's a whole lotta fire) I'd grow fins Just to stay in town for a round of war, and a pound of more. I'd explore the waters of The Great Bottom Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake (It's hell on earth and there's a whole lotta fire) And there's a feeling That even I can't quell. I'm not breathing But gasping in hell. I wanna sink and sink and sink and sink So I bring myself as offering To the shore of the finest place. The great bottom Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake (It's hell on earth and there's a whole lotta fire)

Misstep 03:53
lyrics
buy track
I'm tongue tied everyday. I've got a lot to think but nothing to say. I hope a sunburn is my last pain. I could get a little luck but it'll take a lot of practice To burn and avoid the freeze, To amputate my shattered knees, But it's tough not to just sink Into some bloodied up sheets at the end of my mattress. Why don't you call? Why don't you call? Why don't you call? I took a misstep but you best believe I'll blame it on God. I don't believe in prophecy "You can't predict a future to be." You said that so blatantly. Well, you held me once and I stood there like a coward Holding on to what's gone away. I know we play for keepsake. I want a hundred things to take your place But I felt so fucking peaceful for an hour. Why don't you call? Why don't you call? Why don't you call? I took a misstep but you best believe I'll blame it on God.

My Salvation/Hard Liquor 04:47
lyrics
buy track
I can see the window, but I cant see far past the pane Or past the pain. I can feel the sidewalk crumble with each step I take, Each step I take. And I can hear the silence begin to complicate, To complicate. Though it lays beside us, it's beginning to suffocate, To suffocate. I love the overwhelming feeling of temptation, Of temptation. I can see my brothers doubting my salvation, My salvation. Gather myself around. I wanna say some bullshit About nothing. My brothers get together And my brothers sit together. They see my temptations And they doubt my salvation. (I fell in love with hard liquor, Hard liquor, Draw me nearer)

Manhunt 04:14
lyrics
buy track
It was my severed head Inside a grocery bag. It didn't look half bad But I've never felt pain like that. It was a sacred truth Plastered in front of you Violent in what it said It ended with a graffiti tag. It said "They're just like tattoos. Bloody reminders of you But so much uglier. So much filthier." It was the lust of the flesh Got caught up digging through trash. Found a couple of cuts on my calf. I'm not better gotta give that a rest. It was a full family trip Felt reckless and so full of shit. Got a couple of dollars from tips But never found a place to spend it. I'm whoring myself out to apathy. One step away from the manhunt taking place. I'm whoring myself out to apathy. One step away from the manhunt taking place. It was a backwards goodbye The kind where you stick your head up too high. Wanted hope but never asked why. Turns out I was always pretending. Never knew two rights from wrong. Never knew the point of this all. Take out my habits, I'm doomed. I felt a presence, but it's never consistent And there's nothing to ask. Reeking of semen and ash. Drive until the sunrise will pass. Just call it a manhunt. I'm whoring myself out to apathy. One step away from the manhunt taking place. I'm whoring myself out to apathy. One step away from the manhunt taking place. I'm whoring myself out to apathy. One step away from the manhunt taking place.

Bald 02:05
lyrics

My sister had a kid And I've lost my will to live. They named that beautiful baby Briar. May God bless the hands that guide her. My mother fell asleep. I know that she won't need me. She spent her life getting old. God forbid, I've gone bald.
