Broken man, broken man
Doncha' got a lot to say
But your words, they don't make sense
Can't seem to find the rhythm
Don't seem to know your place
I said it once don't make me do it again
Backwoods fool
Your end of days are comin'
Backwoods fool
Yeah there's no point in runnin'
Backwoods fool
Don't even know why you're fightin'
Oh backwoods fool you know
You're good for nothin'
Good for nothin'
Little wolf in the pack, why can't you see
Sleeping dogs must lie so let them be
Little boy in the back sit back and relax
I won't agree to disagree
Backwoods fool
Your end of days are comin'
Backwoods fool
Yeah there's no point in runnin'
Backwoods fool
Don't even know why you're fightin'
Oh backwoods fool you know
You're good for nothin'
Good for nothin'
Backwoods fool,
why don't you stand for somethin?
Backwoods fool
We all know that you're just bluffin'
Backwoods fool
Ain't ya sick and tired of fightin'?
Oh backwoods fool you know
You're good for nothin'
Good for nothin'
Good for nothin'
Good for nothin'

The Beach

Did you make it to the beach
The one where you said you always wanted to be
I hope that you choke on that salty air
And I won't say that I miss you
Cuz I can't say that I don't
Never hear me say, never hear me say
How I wish you'd just come home
Don't get me wrong I get it
You had to leave or you'd regret it
I just wish you woulda' let me come too
Don't get me wrong I get it
I want to, but can't forget it
All that time wasted and gone too soon
Oh I wish you woulda' let me come too
So I could spend all day on some shitty beach with you
Promise I don't mind the sand that's in-between my teeth
Tastes better than the time you shoved my face into the concrete
All you have to do is say so and I'll catch the first train out
Put all this in my rearview
Just to come crash on your couch
Don't get me wrong I get it
You had to leave or you'd regret it
I just wish you woulda' let me come too
Don't get me wrong I get it
I want to, but can't forget it
All that time wasted and gone too soon
Oh I wish you woulda' let me come too
So I could spend all day on some shitty beach with you
And if I drown, I drown
And if I drown, I drown
And if I drown, I drown
And if I drown, I drown
Don't get me wrong I get it
You had to leave or you'd regret it
I just wish you woulda' let me come too
Don't get me wrong I get it
I want to, but can't forget it
All that time wasted and gone too soon
Oh I wish you woulda' let me come too
So I could spend all day
I could spend all day
I want to spend my life on some shitty beach with you

FRAMED

Killing time
The blood on my hands is cold tonight
Won't drink the water but I'll savor the wine
Get real loose and deny my crimes
What's that you say
Sheriff found a body
I don't know nothin' about that, sorry
Would you like to hear my alibi?
Get me a bed to lay my head
Morning comes they'll shoot me dead
Swear I didn't do a thing that they said, oh
Baby please believe me
Smoking gun in my hand but I've been framed
And I won't take any of the blame
I don't know his face
I don't even know his name
I mean I've seen him before
Sure I've seen him around
Sticking out like a sore thumb on my side of town
But that doesn't prove I'm the one that shot him down
Get me a bed to lay my head
Morning comes they'll shoot me dead
Swear I didn't do a thing that they said, oh
Baby please believe me
He ain't the kind that would be missed
And I don't waste my time on guys like this
What's in it for me if there's no fame,
and there's no glory?
No fuckin' way you're pinning this one on me
Ain't no crime if nobody sees
Just a lotta he said, she said, he bled
And he died!
Get me a bed to lay my head
Morning comes they'll shoot me dead
Swear I didn't do a thing that they said, oh
Baby please believe me
I got nothin' to prove and nothin' to lose
But I won't be made to look like a fool
When I'm around,
Better watch what you say and do
You might end up just like him, just wait and see
Remember to think twice before you cross me
Get me a bed to lay my head
Morning comes they'll shoot me dead
Swear I didn't do a thing that they said, oh
Baby please believe me
When morning comes they'll shoot me dead
Swear I didn't do a thing that they said
When morning comes they'll shoot me dead
Do you believe me now?

Follow You Down
02:18
|
|||
|
My love is a sinner
I've known all along
I love her so dearly
I wrote her this song
She did some things she shouldn't have done
And when she fell I followed her down
And when she fell I followed her down
My rose, dear rose
Tell me what have you done?
Fell from the sky got too close to the sun
If you're to be punished then
With you, I'll drown
Cuz I swore to God I'd follow you down
I swore to God I'd follow you down
She went back on her word and she lied to me
But she looks so pretty with her tongue in her cheek
She bet all her chips and still lost to the house
She should have known when to lay her cards down
She should have known when to lay her cards down
There is no redemption for her, I'm afraid
But I'll stay at her side for the rest of my days
She said, "He's downstairs, just waiting around
for me, so I'm asking,
Will you follow me down?"
She asked me "Darlin', will you follow me down?"
I know it's not wise and I know what that means
But what can I say, she brought me to my knees
Built a place for me to worship right up from the ground
Felt so hot inside like it might just burn down
So hot inside it might just burn down
Her church is so vile, so evil within
You'd never guess an old temple smells like ancient sin
In this church, there's a chorus
I revel in the sound
With these songs, I promise
I'll follow you down
With these songs, I promise
I'll follow you down
With these songs, I promise
I'll follow you down
Cuz I swore to God,
I'd follow you down

No Country For Old Men
03:14
|
|||
|
Get off me, your breathing
Is heavy on my neck
Don't tell me my body belongs to
Anyone but me
Grandmothers and our mothers,
they all hang their heads again
Unwilling pawns trapped
Inside this fascist game
As hospital sheets run red,
Their blood is on your hands
Their blood is on your hands
Their blood is on your hands
Keep your laws off my body
It belongs to nobody
But me, and me alone
Not church, not the state
Only we decide our fate
Not the court and not the fed
Because this is no country for old men
This won't go on when the tables finally turn
And hell hath no fury like the people scorned
This is the last straw, no masters and no laws
The people have had enough
This is now, not way back then
You brought this on yourselves and when
You get what is coming to you
You'll get what is coming to you
This time the blood will spill from you
Keep your laws off my body
It belongs to nobody
But me, and me alone
Not church, not the state
Only we decide our fate
Not the court and not the fed
Because this is no country for old men
Not the court, not the state
Only we decide our fate
Not the court, not the state
Only we decide our fate
Not the court, not the state
Only we decide our fate
Fuck the court, fuck the state
Only we decide our fate!
(Chant credit to all the strong and brave citizens of Madison, Wisconsin, that showed up to march on the capitol building on July 4th 2022 to protest in response of the overturning of Roe V. Wade.)

Bite My Tongue
04:16
|
|||
|
Here's a song I wrote just for you
I'd say it to your face, but you can't handle the truth
Lies emboldened with senseless words
Where do you get the nerve to ask why?
Time stood still when you "took off and ran"
Left me in the dark screaming like a madman
Nothing left for me to say
Nothing you could bear to hear
Haven't seen you in days
And when they start asking why
I'll just bite my tongue
Got nothing good to say about you anyway
So I'll just bite my tongue
Oh, I'll just bite my tongue
Oh, I'll just bite my tongue
When they ask where you went
I'll tell them I don't know
You didn't even say goodbye
What's the harm in a little white lie?
I'll tell them I did everything I could
But you were nowhere-bound
I'll say you're probably off gettin' high somewhere
For all I know, you're six feet in the ground
Who knows
Haven't seen you in days
And when they start asking why
I'll just bite my tongue
Got nothing good to say about you anyway
So I'll just bite my tongue
Oh, I'll just bite my tongue
Oh, I'll just bite my tongue
As I stand above your grave,
Got so much I wanna say
But it's too late for that now
When I lie where you lay,
and finally get the chance to say,
Forever, I will bite my tongue

Tooth and Bone
03:45
|
|||
|
Now watch the ground give out
And feel it caving in
The truth that you deny will now unfold
You live life as a snake and now you
Crawl out of your skin
And all you leave behind is tooth and bone
Tooth! Bone! Tooth and bone!
Tooth! Bone! Tooth and bone!
Now listen in close and heed these words
There's something you must know before you leave
In the end it will not matter
All the treasure that you reap
It will not be the light that guides you home
Now watch the ground give out
And feel it caving in
The truth that you deny will now unfold
You live life as a snake and now you
Crawl out of your skin
And all you leave behind is tooth and bone
Tooth! Bone! Tooth and bone!
Tooth! Bone! Tooth and bone!
How do you stand upon the backs of those
That suffer at your hand?
Claim you built that ivory tower where you sleep?
(How do you sleep?)
Can't get mercy for money
Can't buy your way out of sin
You cannot trade your worthless tooth and bone!
Tooth! Bone! Tooth and bone!
Tooth! Bone! Tooth and bone!
Tooth! Bone! Tooth and bone!
Tooth! Bone! Tooth and bone!

HACK
03:48
|
|||
|
I've been losing my grip on the wayside
Living my life in a mudslide
How will I know when I'm doing it right,
When I only know what wrong feels like?
My mind is restless
My chest is caving in
The house lights fall,
Time to start the show
But I don't know where to begin
Playing as a poet by day
But I'm a charlatan by trade
Gritting my teeth when you look my way
But everyone has a point when they
Break
Every night I lay down to dream
My mind is racing I can't sleep
It's getting harder and harder to breathe
I'm choking on my own mediocrity
I'm a hack, I'm a fake, I'm a hypocrite
I'm a loser, I'm a poser, I'm a piece of shit
Con artist is what you see
I play along and you all believe
Cuz I've been losing my grip on the wayside
Living my life in a mudslide
How will I know when I'm doing it right,
When I only know what wrong feels like?
My mind is restless
My chest is caving in
The house lights fall,
Time to start the show
But I don't know where to begin
