Do you think your a man to talk? Do you think I mind at all? Don't say... How he was livin it up in a run.. Do you want to be the hammer? Against broken necks unbent. You got hooks in me that stretch my skin Like it was some old Indian dance, But wa...

I was taking long in lane While they boil and fight While they boil and fight I was taking all my days And all night And all night Maybe you skip and walk Maybe you tap your heels It won't matter at all If you just stand still Taking it off, see how it feel...

I was a brakeman The sharpest of all them Hoping to be there in it good I was a bum rush Imparting the self lust? It wasn't always understood I was a comb man? I combed every shoreline I wanted to damage just a few Hoping in time it won't be swift enough An...

When I was sick and lonely, What can admit it's cold Well I dreamed the sun was shining As I walked the drifts of snow Don't let it pack on our only love you know Wishing it was summer Weather this slow pace Come on stop crying; And wipe the ice from...

A we been round, all angry and crying Well its how much can you yell And hey, then, while i've been outside Well i stand and i wait and bend Well i am never end Well i am You get filled? in when they sold * It took two to be right They say we do...

I was out there missing steps, when you swung around to me Best to land, not to crash, pulling out too late Call on everyone you ever knew, and plead Well I've been the bum who's underfed I've been the one who should've said Maybe I'm wrong and I've always be...

Think that you walk in two strides in front of While everyone else just stand Youalways pick the right best fruit And it always rots in your hands But did you dig through the nest 'Cause the cold man's honey The sting has got stuck in your head We could...

I'm on the run Aimming too low Breaking away On the feet of you all And catchin the stone With a side of my head Hold me back Walking it home I'm taking the tracks So leave me alone You can see me fall Faster than You can run Take it away If yo...

Been there always Could be there again Bended all ways To Bend it back again It's a truce Standing toe to toe Yeah bold To throw in the first blow To leave a couple teeth to spit out We swam out away I hope we don't start to cramp At least it's n...

Wait. We're going to win It's about time we did And I can't decide at all if we're good And sure, I've been You got a face that's hard to forget. Aw, I'm gonna get back to you And oh, I know It's hard to notice every small movement and slipping throu...

We built fires large enough that it burned the woods. Remember the sparks that caught the wind and torched the field. We stomped at the grass in the cracks and the crust to no avail. And I'll get burned if the wind takes more than it should. And hey, it's...

It's getting bright man, Squinting staring at the sun. Just look at your burned skin And try to tell me that I'm wrong. Your laboring promise, Was anything but heavy work. Is this all you've done then? It took hours just to find the words. Well, give...

You're looking thin anyways And you stare right through me Surprised to be leg to leg Is there a place we could run And you could hide with me And take our time doing nothing at all We got tungsten rope tying us down And this tiny crown Will be our s...

I must be our ruin I must dead iron Don't short-sight it's worth It comes to steal mine It comes as it always has And in keeping me hid There must be Peace in the morning Peace in the night Peace in the daylight Let it out stand forever Does it outs...

One single out of ten Seen better odds in them But it's not that bad Well me I was digging with my crutch I stand in my own rut That I wrote down While you Don't listen you just stare Its not pealing it's a tear And it's distance and it's where It...

And being outside your wisdom And stretching the truth I was the oil and lavender But never for you You had to toil and sit in The sun browned your skin It burned all the alabaster Till the ash choked the wind They say it's the longest light To ever have sho...

We could bail out either side, or take a rest Find me in the corner with your nervous laugh In my hesitation don't you pass I might be the only fool who cares But don't you feel like you're under this wave of staggering charm? One was set to carry you,...

And it's out of breath And it's spinning around, In love with the sound of it's own voice, And it's toughest skin has been stretched so thin, it's invisible to us And if I forget will your hand be soft and guide me through it? And above all the rest I c...

When you get tired of the wings that carry you nowhere You stretch out your arms to see if the wind will blow you over It seems like it's tightening, the line in the crease of your shoulder But never in after gift of the ground Remember the good work you d...

I'm looking more like my mother I was so staggering waiting for you I was so sure in my barely bending knees, and nobody cared for more It does no good to talk about anything It does no good to tell you I'm a wounded fiend It's not the things we discover,...

I was out Skippin' stones In the end it's what you know Found my feet They were firm What you leave is what you burn Won't find me In the second verse Never found me in the first Away Does it bound and break And you look so vain Broke my heart B...

When I wake up in the morning, I'm gonna tell I was standing looking backwards in the outs You said there's room enough to cramping in the crowd No movement here no friends to break us out Stop breathing or we'll just swim fast I don't know I don't know...

Well It would take a mountain of men to move me And that'd be a long way from the way that you spoke In your head so clearly without break or breath Or words redefining I was stuck on my pride And the skin And the sinking it in And you told me "wipe...

He's a manic boy Looks a lot like me Looks a lot like me And he shares the blame With a younger face It's hard and rushed to see And it's hard for us to see But I can tell Is it cold enough Does it chatter your teeth And the wind won't set you free And it ne...

Come in and see, I got a long list of things Remember, I can't read, we'll have to go through them slowly And in this freeze you'd be lucky to make it a mile So let me see and find us something warm to wear All I got is pages we can burn to warm ourselves...

If you call our names We'll come arise and ready and primed Such a sturdy face You can tell we're aging by the lines Keep on saying how That's sort of fine and strange, although Even if the wind has ceased to blow We won't run and we won't cry Look how we sta...

When you're here When you're out I wanna know it I wanna know it When you feel When you doubt And when all of this fails I wanna know it I wanna know it Don't you get heavy, hanging around Don't you get tired of me When you're here When you're down I wanna...

On the run and run I'm wailing I want to throw my arms and shake I guess you get too hard to remember And I can't put a finger on it I'll reach a point and I'll quit running Too tired to move my legs What's the holdup, what keeps stalling Why a man that you ca...

We get out of this fight You gonna help me wrap my hands Stitching up my eyes You know blood can blind And them was big old boys Had fists like cinder and stone I dodge a blade on the dime And they was out to cut my throat It's a lot, It's a mark they're gon...
