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

Blood and Honey
03:31

Sneak out before dawn
the flesh and the bone
and the spine of my love is a great beast
but it keeps me steady.
Blood and honey
your arms around me
you said you want to be free
but you still love me
how, can I, make you happy?
The power struggle is too much
I can't feel the things I touch
I've been confused too many times
and babe now, I can read between the lines.
When we scream at each other
I see my mother and father
and I can't that we suddenly
are who we swore we'd never be.
The power struggle is too much
I can't feel the things I touch
I've been confused too many times
and babe now, I can read between the lines.
How can I make you happy?
How can I make you happy?
How can I make you happy?

Simmer down now
You’re worrying yourself to death
Simmer down now
You never know what you’re gonna get
Cause you’ve been pushing for a long long time
Looking for things you can not find
But don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t fall out of love
Simmer down now
You’re worrying yourself to death
Simmer down now
You never know what you’re gonna get
Cause you and I both know whats right
You know I really don’t wanna fight
You got me good
You got me good
Just like you knew you would
Simmer down now
You’re worrying yourself to death
Simmer down now
You never know what you’re gonna get
You said
You walk around with your heart stitched on your sleep
Acting nonchalant like I’m naive
You’re like a song
You’re like a song
Now you’re in my bones
Now you're in my bones
Simmer down now
You're worrying yourself to death

When I Die
When I die
Burry me with the white flowers
Underneath the root lines
In the field.
With the smell, with the smell
Of a bonfire
Burning wood a top this
Cold dark earth.
In the sun, in the sun
We will rise
When I die
Burry me somewhere near
Just so I can hear
Your prayers dear.
With the heart, with the heart
Of a lover
Weeping simple disclosures
Of unfair farewells.
In the sun in the sun
We will rise
In the sun, in the sun
We will shine we will shine.
Ohhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhh
We will shine
Ohhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhh
We will shine
We will shine
With the heart
With the heart of a lover
We will rise
In the sun
In the sun we will shine
In the sun we will rise

Self Medicating
I'm killin' myself with all the self medicating
Chasing shadows on a road to go knows where
Just to put down the ghost of what I've lost
But my timing ain't the best.
Oh my god
God forbid
The years change
But my condition still remains
Wiping off the dirt off my shoes to be plight
I'll only be a couple minutes then I'll go.
I didn't come to tell you that I've changed at all
But that I'm leaving in the fall
And if you told me that your love is all I'd need to be ok
And that a life without me ain't a life at all
Then I will turn around and run right back into your arms
And know you'll never let me down.
Oh my god
God forbid
The years change
But my condition still remains
I'm killin' myself with all the self medicating
Chasing shadows on a road to go knows where
Just to put down the ghost of what I've lost
But my timing ain't the best.

LOYALTY SPORT
Theres a million reasons not to let yourself fall
It starts with a person you barely know
And it turn into a movie and you’re the star of the show
Exposing your secrets is bad judgment call
And all that you can say is
Take my hand
I will lead you to safety
I’ll hold you close
So you’ll never be lonely
And I will walk through hell
I am strong and brave and loyal
I will stand by your side
I’ll stand by you
Sitting in silence you’re pathetic and weak
You’re hurting so bad you can barely speak
Cause that stranger has gotten so under your skin
Love is a loyalty sport
Never a burden
And all that you can say is
Take my hand
I will lead you to safety
I’ll hold you close
So you’ll never be lonely
And I will walk through hell
I am strong and brave and loyal
I will stand by your side
I’ll stand by you

and every morning you wake up with a new dream i your head
and every morning you wake up and wash your face with that cold water
and every morning you wake up and paint yourself back together
and every morning you wake up and put on that old pair of shoes
hold on to my hand
stay i can make you happy
and late at night you fall asleep on the right side of your bed
and late at night you cant stop thinking rest your hot head baby
and late at night you write about all the things that get you down
and late at night you wait for something that will never come
hold on to my hand
stay i can make you happy
i see you like a fire ant
i don't know how to show you so that you'd understand
I'm living life so steady slow
i don't wanna walk alone
and empty smiles just drag us down
until we softly kiss the ground
and dandelion you're taking flight
and you're blocking all the light.

No Trust No Love

NO TRUST NO LOVE
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 around 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, the fire that was keeping us warm
Turned to ash in the storm
And the love, the love that was keeping us calm
Is crying like a new born
Ah Ah Ah
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 we sing with our eyes closed darlin, moving like ants

Small Secrets
Should I stay, should I go
I will keep my distance you know
Cause you keep me for the lonely nights
Yea you keep me for the lonely nights
Now you’re stealing my courage
I don’t think that you even notice
That you keep me for the lonely nights
Yea you keep me for the lonely nights
Early bed’s what you want
But in the morning I’m gone
Say nothin baby
Small secrets keep me away
Small secrets keep me away
It’s all good
I know how I am
Sometimes lover
Part time friend
So you keep me for the lonely nights
Yea you keep me for the lonely nights
And I don’t mean to be such a mess
Honestly I’m doing my best
So don’t keep me for the lonely nights
Don’t keep me for the lonely nights
Early bed’s what you want
But in the morning I’m gone
Say nothin baby
Small secrets keep me away
Small secrets keep me away
So you keep me for the lonely nights
Yea you keep me for the lonely nights
Yea you keep me for the lonely nights
You just keep me for the lonely nights

Dear God (XTC Cover)

Dear God, hope you get the letter and
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don't get enough to eat from God
I can't believe in you
Dear God, sorry to disturb you but
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about God
I can't believe in you
Did you make disease and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the Devil too!
Dear God don't know if you noticed but
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image
Still believing that junk is true
Well I know it ain't, and so do you
Dear God
I can't believe in
I don't believe
I won't believe in heaven or hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it's the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
The Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'll perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in
It's you
Dear God
