Push the last air outta his lungs What once was good, now is gone What words once warm and kind, now sounds wrong We're all in Gethsemane, leaves turning at dawn Strange is the tide Strange is time All I've ever owned are expired pills One is the kind that hurts, the other kills Here comes the lord of seasons to claim his land Here comes my worst enemy and calls me his friend God won't know your name, he won't know your face Let the scarecrow burn, let's feed the flames Count the breaks of my arm and tell me how old I am I can't stand another day in this hole you've left me in
2.
There it goes Everything I've ever known On a starving horse Destined for drifter's road And the toothless thieves Washed back into the sea Rabid dogs Hind legged walk the streets And another shall sing my songs The fair of dreams Hanging onto its seams Needless rain Chase us once again Tinted paint On our hands soon will fade When a job is done And they curtain call the play Come dance with me This is all we'll ever be

All day I've been sleeping all day And when I awake, I wake up drunk Wishing I weren't existing How could I still be breathing Celebrate, Cause I've been angry all day He's a ghost of what I once knew And when he speaks I won't listen When he breathes there's a whistle
5.
Rockin' like the cradle at noon A bad dream can't end too soon I've made a life outta a broken home I've had to bite to learn to let go But it's all the same Somewhere only bad seeds grow That broken dream it twists and aches A slaughtered pig on your birthday cake If I could cast a spell to make the waters clear I would walk the coast, but now it don't lead anyway So it's all in vain In the end we're chasing ourselves
6.
I lied to him when I told him I'm going away I'll be moving down houses But where I won't say Never am I gonna live up my name Don't matter, they don't flatter me much anyway The whole world sleeps inside a killer whale I'll be swimming to shore another day I lied to them when I told them I seek my own I can't stand this being Shameful, alone Listen to the sounds of a dying man The cancer has been spreading through his arms and his hands His coffin has been sailing on a blood red wave Still I'll be swimming to shore another day Look at that cojack flying It's getting away One day it will find no need to be lying And then It'll be saved It is never gonna live up to its name Don't feed it, it can't serve you anyway Its whole world revolves around a single prayer We'll be waiting, I'm sure, another day

It's a joke Like stillborn trouble Either the deal is worthless, Or we'll mess it up I said no When she asked to stay over I am proud to be sober, I don't need to get off I'll break some bones If they don't laugh it's not my problem If they are scared of my talent, And my brother's too Another fool Anyone who dare speak up With their principles and needs And their ideals and greed All these ugly faces free Ready to get off I set tomorrow on fire Just to light up our last days here Cause any day now, we'll go anywhere
