Bleeding Out in Missouri
03:01
|
|||
I'll avoid the mountains.
I can't even climb a hill.
I start bleeding in Missouri.
Jesus, what the hell?
It's the damn midwest.
I wanna drown in the river.
It's the damn midwest.
I can't say it clearer.
I can't speak in cold blood,
Not that I have much to tell.
But I'll heed your words and quench my thirst.
There's no water in the well.
It's the damn midwest.
I wanna drown in the river.
It's the damn midwest.
I can't say it clearer.

Tourniquet
02:48
|

I need a tourniquet.
I took a needle that I'll never forget.
Something sweet and so divine, but yet,
I can still regret.
I need a little something,
Need a little something
In the morning.
Forget the hunger,
Though I'm starving.
Mashed potatoes in the long run,
Though they satisfy,
They ain't been something,
Ain't been something for me.
Whatever you take,
I promise to take more.
Give me a blood clot
So I can seize out on the floor.
I don't wanna rely,
Don't wanna rely
On memory anymore.
I need a tourniquet.
I took a needle that I'll never forget.
Something sweet and so divine, but yet,
I can still regret.
I need a little something,
Need a little something
In the morning.
Forget the hunger,
Though I'm starving.
Mashed potatoes in the long run,
Though they satisfy,
They ain't been something,
Ain't been something that I wanted.
Don't try to tell me that I'm broken.
I'm always worse off when I overflow
And my brain gets blood.
I need another moment,
Need another moment alone.
Whatever you take,
I promise to take more.
Give me a blood clot
So I can seize out on the floor.
I don't wanna rely,
Don't wanna rely
On memory anymore.
I need a tourniquet.
I took a needle that I'll never forget.
Something sweet and so divine, but yet,
I can still regret.
I need a little something,
Need a little something like a tourniquet.

Monarch
03:20
|

Wait til I fly back
To Idaho.
See, I'm a monarch
But I don't know.
When to migrate
Or where to go.
I only take the backroads
So slow.
If they make me see you smiling,
Overtake my albatross,
Drown me in vodka,
And clear my throat.
I hope that I know that they didn't mean to kill you
But is there blood on my hands?
Is there blood on my hands?
I need some ice and a pack of menthols.
I'm sure this'll end.
I'm sure this'll end.
By Colorado,
I'd written you a letter
On crumpled up loose leaf
In faded pen.
I said "it wasn't easy.
There's nothing healing."
I drew some crosses
That were bent.
Promised to protect your sister.
I knew you'd miss her.
I knew she was also
Trapped in a trench.
Holding my words,
I finished with a needle.
It's cool to be scared.
It's cool to be scared
So I reach past my chair and bring up a lighter.
I've got a bottle of gin
And a dozen Dixie cups.
I'm off my meds,
But there's no need to worry.
Just settle down.
The pain's been a pick me up.
I'm already scorching
In my chest.
You turned the heat up
But I digress.

Bye Bye KY
02:13
|
|||
Goodbye to the foothills.
I'm living so far away.
I guess I'm lucky to go.
I'm drowning out sirens.
One ambulance away.
I'd be lucky to go.
Oh, Kentucky, I knelt myself down.
Let some bluegrass or whatever surround me.
Here I am just bare feet.

Pasture
03:28
|
|||
I'm no nomadic motherfucker.
Wheels don't roll down under.
I ain't got a turn to tell.
There's a rock that hangs over me
Waiting for the right moment
To boulder down and give me hell.
It swings to its own beat
And keeps my eyes off my feet
While I'm stumbling down the wrong trail.
This pasture is a cemetery.
It's looking a lot nicer for me.
I'm laying down my living will.
I hope that the dogs don't take their time chewing up my bones.
I've got my eyes pinned to the ground waiting for the unknown.
Even plain loneliness doesn't bring along the heart of being alone.
I've got a dozen missing keys,
Disdain for misery,
And a prescription to overfill.
It's rhythm follows so closely
And nudges only slightly
The brick on the window sill.
If it falls and breaks, we'll learn a lot
About what we miss and what we got.
We can't fix it, but someone will.
I'll take the steps to recuperate,
Burn the filth on the gate
And finally, just sit still.
I hope that the dogs don't take their time chewing up my bones.
I've got my eyes pinned to the ground waiting for the unknown.
Even plain loneliness doesn't bring along the heart of being alone.

Holy Sunday
09:25
|
|||
I've seemed to develop an idioglossia
That God himself can't even understand
And the trouble I find in my heart cover blinds close often
I've got a way with wanting more than I can bear
My fingers freeze on the gate and I remind myself to cover them
It's too easy watching people go, well, I don't know where
I don't know where. I don't know where
Hey hey
I could lose it all in a poker game
I get sorrow from everything
That I think could redeem
More than likely
I'll get a chance to humiliate
Myself. You can berate
The actions you see
Holy Sunday
Got a quarter to keep my khakis clean
Got a hand up to keep my praises seen
But I'm so damn sad
And sure, I'm open,
But can I count on myself to recuperate?
God knows I can emaciate
It's starting to show
I've seemed to develop an idioglossia
That God himself can't even understand
And the trouble I find in my heart cover blinds close often
I've got a way with wanting more than I can bear
I've seemed to develop an idioglossia
That God himself can't even understand
And the trouble I find in my heart cover blinds close often
I've got a way with wanting more than I can bear
I'm a Solomon, never satisfied
I always count them, 300 concubines
I strive for some obscure paradise
I feel indifferent to everything in life
I got a vision late last night
Some shadow glistened
It was the Lord's outline
In his glory, he finally revealed that I'm nothing
Then I burnt up on the inside and I cried
In one desperate, last attempt,
I said "Fuck it. God, I'm cursed by karma.
Can you fix it? God, I'm asking can you fix it?"
Then I burnt up on the outside and I died
I burnt up on the outside and I died
I burnt up on the outside and I died
I burnt up on the outside and I died
When I passed away, I got a glimpse of the neighbor.
She said "For fuck's sake, he could've said it clearer."
But I was miles away and didn't even hear her
She wouldn't comprehend anyway
She wouldn't comprehend anyway
For sanity's sake, I always avoid mirrors
It's like an opposite fate, except with way more fear
I'm sure that most can relate, but I wouldn't ever hear about it
Cause I've seemed to develop an idioglossia
That God himself can't even understand
And the trouble I find in my heart cover blinds close often
I've got a way with wanting more than I can bear
I've seemed to develop an idioglossia
That God himself can't even understand
And the trouble I find in my heart cover blinds close often
I've got a way with wanting more than I can bear

Heresy

She sang heresy.
Oh my agony.
I've put on my winter weight
With no chance to resuscitate.
She sang heresy.
Oh my agony.
I've put on my winter weight
With no chance to resuscitate.
I let my weakness show
And count about a minute too slow.
There's a whole lot of wasted time
I've spent dreading my own life.
So lay my baggage down.
Let my burdens out.
I've got an open wound
And a plan to someday soon
Lift my agony,
Ascend to monotony,
And find a life to trade.
It's a far ways to heaven's gate.
I know I'll need a lotta luck, a lotta luck to find it.
May God, May God damn my silence.

Rotting
03:40
|
|||
The way that I stand -
Object impermanence.
If I'm not seen,
Then I stand no chance.
What a waste of water.
I'll wash the dirt off
With sweat that's running, that's pouring,
Out my pores
The less important will rot.
Will I rot?
The way that I look - unrecognizable.
The difference I make - awfully despicable.
The way your voice shook - never dismissible.
What a waste of water.
I'll wash the dirt off
With sweat that's running, that's pouring,
Out my pores
The less important will rot.
Will I rot?
