I'm a woman, not a bed

I'm sitting around waiting for something to kill me
If the bottle don't, smokin' will do
It aint right, I don't like the way I am living
Taking my chances hoping I'll loose
Cloudy sky over my head
I'm a woman, not a bed
I'm an anchor
Not a traveling train
I'm sitting around waiting for something to kill me
If the good lord don't, the devil's got my back
My friends and my mother all worry
I'll never outgrow my heavy heart
Cloudy sky over my head
I'm a woman, not a bed
I'm an anchor
Not a traveling train

Fuck

I can't see you a thousand mile from here
But I can hear you drinking
Slam that bottle down
Liquid courage
Stops your thinking
I got you all tangled
Ropes and weeds and shit that hurts
Cause I'm the devil
Leaving you when trouble come
I really fucked it up this time
I can't get you off my mind babe
I didn't meant to drag it out this long
It's all my fault I know it
Kicking myself back to September
Guilt bound and cold struck in the weather
I walk across the room
To get a better view
I can hear you drink slightly
Louder than I should
I got you all tangled
Ropes and weeds and shit that hurts
Cause I'm the devil
Leaving you when trouble come
I really fucked it up this time
I can't get you off my mind babe
I didn't meant to drag it out this long
It's all my fault I know it
Kicking myself back to September
Guilt bound and cold struck in the weather

No trust, No Love
03:06

Are we in love with each other or with the idea
Of being in love?
We used to kiss with our eyes shut
But now we kiss with them wide open
And roll in the darkness shifting in bed like waves in the water
But now we sleep apart like two distant islands
Darlin', we don't even bother.
And the fire, fire that was keeping us warm
Has turned to ash in the storm
Ands the love, love, love that was keeping us calm
Is crying like a new born
Ah Ah Ah
Are we in love with each other or with the idea
Of being in love?
We used to travel the country and listen to music
But now we sit at home in silence.
And stand up on stage and tell the truth
Using our hands
But now sing with our eyes closed darlin'
Movin' like ants
And the fire, fire that was keeping us warm
Has turned to ash in the storm
Ands the love, love, love that was keeping us calm
Is crying like a new born
Ah Ah Ah

This place is a cemetery
Covered in dust
You come here every morning
Searching for luck
But you've been crying on the wrong shoulder
Looking for help
But no one's gonna help you child
This place is a cemetery
People come here to die
You come here every morning
You know just the right time
And then you jump out of the shadows
And you take all they've got
You always know the weak spot
Yea you always know the weak spot

Jackyl and Hyde

Killer, you set fire to the sea
You’re such a bing mystery, killer
You never sleep
And an old man
A long long time ago once told me
If you ever really wanna heart somebody
Go for the heart, that’s the key
But there’s, marksman taking aim at me
Dodging bullets constantly
And the devil, follows closely
He is just waiting for me
Killer, put away your weaponry
Hear how your victims plea
Killer please, I beg you mercy
But this is me
I’ve got a murderer inside of me
Some sort of split personal
Jackull and Hyde in my veins
Running free
But there’s ,marksman taking aim at me
Dodging bullets constantly
And the devil, follows closely
He is just waiting for me

Fever

My lips bloom with fever fever
I am no longer a believer, leave her
I didn't know you were such a shallow coward
I built a universe that you devoured
You give me fever
leave her.
Hold me back so I don’t hurt you hurt you
You give me problems because you don’t tell the truth
Old man told me liars are bad people hunny
I fed you love but you just grew dry and cunning
You give me fever
Leave her.

You know I'll say Im sorry
Just tell me what I've done wrong
You know I'll say I'm sorry baby
Just tell me what I've done wrong
I've been waiting for you to call me darlin
Ever since you sent me home
I told you that I love you
And there ain't no more to say
I told you that I loved you baby
And there ain't no more to say
But ever since I told you darlin'
You make it wrong to feel this way
I ain't got not pearly whites babe
But my teeth do light the way
I ain't got no pearly whites baby
But I'll always light your way
I'm like a ship captain, darlin'
I always get you to the bay

Modest Mouse

Last night I couldn't fall asleep
thoughts of you were haunting me.
I didn't think that you'd remember me at all
I am so small...
so small.
So I just lay there and whispered to the sheets
" Im so tired you hear, I can't go to sleep"
And I'm a modest mouse stuck between two walls
but no one calls...
no one calls.
So I give up, I give up you hear?
One thing I am good at is a disappear.
You don't know me, you don't know me and you don't wanna know
I'm just too small...
I'm just too small.
You don't know me
you don't know me and you don't wanna know
You don't know me
you don't know me and you don't wanna know
so I give up, I give up you hear?

Gladiator
02:31

I sailed my ship onto your shore
My anchors and sails are torn
I fought fiercely to the bone
With my map and compass here
I plan my route, have no fear
You are my destination, dear
Cause I am like a gladiator
In the belly of the beast
I was born to fight
For you and me
Now I'm parched and lost
i swore I'd find you at any cost
My memory of you is like a ghost
And I will walk till I can no longer move
Till the ground burns holes in the souls of my shoes
Even then I'll crawl my way to you
Cause I am like a gladiator
In the belly of the beast
I was born to fight
For you and me

Whiskey and Cigarettes

I don't wanna be another tattoo that you'll regret
I don't wanna just be someone next to who'm you've slept
I don't wanna be a picture in your wallet that you'll forget
I wanna be a gold slide, warm whiskey, and your favorite pack of cigarettes
This is the worst home coming yet
To an empty bed
And you ramblin', rambling' in my head
I drew my sword but quickly laid it down the day you came around
I stripped all my armor and tore down the wall I built to keep me safe from harm
I wanna watch you sleep every morning and kiss you awake
But you had to go again and leave me hanging to nurse myself through the heart ache again

Ground Rules
03:37
|

I ain't afraid to tell you how I feel
I know you walk around looking for hearts to steal
You put them safely in that vest
You keep them close to your check
And then you go back out there every night
And you find one that won't put up a fight
And then you take her hand and then you hold it tight
And whisper "baby, it will be alright"
But she don't know what you hide behind that smile
So she'll let you touch and kiss her for a while
You make the broken heart go from hot to mild
You like fix then break, thats just your style
And I hope you fall in love and fall flat
You set the ground rules
I ain't afraid to tell you how I feel
I know you walk around looking for hearts to steal
You put them safely in that vest
You keep them close to your check
But I'm not another trophy heart-shaped flag
You can't go around and show me off a brag
I gave you love, now I want it back
I am a heart attack, a heart attack
But she don't know what you hide behind that smile
So she'll let you touch and kiss her for a while
You make the broken heart go from hot to mild
You like fix then break, thats just your style
And I hope you fall in love and fall flat
You set the ground rules
