- Noro
- Why doesn't anyone I know sleep? Are they all just scared of their dreams? When they lay their heads down at night, what are they haunted by?
- Little light, lead us through the night. And if we die, burn down the forest.
- You Stole
- Last night they said the fire had spread, and we said our prayers. Now the flames are burning me in my bed, and I just don't care.
- So if I'm a liar and you're a thief, at least we both know where the other one sleeps.
- At the Bottom
- Some men die under the mountain just looking for gold. Some die looking for a hand to hold.
- Daisy
- I'm a mountain that has been moved. I'm a fugitive that has no legs to run. I'm a preacher with no pulpit, spewing a sermon that goes on and on.
- Sink
- I don't wanna let you go, but it hurts my hands to hold the rope.
- How darkly the dark hand met his end. He was withered and bony, exposed for a phony. But we heed the last words that he penned: Haste to disgrace a traitor, do not wait 'til later.
- The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot
- You are calm and reposed. Let your beauty unfold. Pale white like the skin stretched over your bones. Spring keeps you ever close. You are second hand smoke. You are so fragile and thin, standing trial for your sins, holding onto yourself the best you can. You are the smell before rain. You are the blood in my veins.
- Every picture you paint, I will paint myself out.
- The No Seatbelt Song
- It's only you, beautiful, or I don't want anyone. If I can choose, it's only you.
- Seventy Times Seven
- So is that what you call a getaway? Well tell me what you got away with. 'Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish, I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids. So have another drink and drive yourself home. I hope there's ice on all the roads. And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt and again when your head goes through the windshield.
- Jesus Christ
- Jesus Christ, I'm alone again, so what did you do those three days you were dead? 'Cause this problem's gonna last more than the weekend.
- Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die. I'm a little bit scared of what comes after.
- Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't
- Keeping quiet is hard, but you can't keep a secret if it never was a secret to start. At least pretend you didn't want to get caught.
- I hope this song starts a craze.
- These are the words you wish you wrote down. This is the way you wish your voice sounds.
- The Archer's Bows are Broken
- Who do you carry the torch for, my young man? Do you believe in anything? Do you carry it around just to burn things down? Meet me tonight on the turnpike my darling, 'cause we believe in everything.
- Soco Amaretto Lime
- Passed out on the overpass. Sunday best and broken glass. Broken down from the bikes and bars, suspended like spirits over speeding cars.
- You're just jealous 'cause I'm young and in love. Your stomach's filled up but your starved for conversation. And you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed, and you're tearing up your photos 'cause you wanna forget it's over.
- Play Crack the Sky
- This story's old but it goes on and on until we disappear.
- Your tongue is a rudder, it steers the whole ship. Sends you words past your lips, keeps them safe behind your teeth. But the wrong words will strand you, come off course while you sleep. Sweep your boat out to sea, you're dashed to bits on the reef.
- I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains sunk below the sea. I spoke the words but never gave a thought to what they all could mean.
- Sowing Season (Yeah)
- Is it in you now to bear to hear the truth that you have spoken? Twisted up by knaves, to make a trap for fools.
- Untitled 01
- Well I wrote your name and burned it to see the color of the flame, and it burned out the whole spectrum as if you were everything. Mine just burned gold, a normal flame. I am not anything.
- When we were kids you were the sun to which my eyes could not adjust.
- Something dies when you grow older, but you do the best you can.
