Dose 02:30
Concentrate on the wall Concentrate on the wall See only the paint chips and finger prints Concentrate on the wall Don't think about the man in the cemetery Don’t think about the days or the thoughts that carry Don’t think about you leaving your friends or your flaws Concentrate on the wall Concentrate on the wall Concentrate on the wall. New Years, Last Dose, Setting sun No dark cloud, shitstorm to run from Your parents in the suburbs couldn’t wait to see They knew if they believed There’d be a honeymoon And baby teeth. You knew if you got comfortable You'd never leave Awarded what was advertised The upgrade, the pharmacy New Years, Last Call, rising sun I have no words for your words.

Fleas 02:21
What belongs And what gets covered up with poisonous ground? Somewhere to keep your mouth What screams If we create a place to plug in our phones? Sacrificial homes. I tried to meditate last night Not wanting to separate Just trying to see what it was like Don’t worry I can fill you in once you get to sleep Feel that in your dreams. Don’t go Just need to sink the beat of my heart ‘Til we get ripped apart

Treetops 02:05
What makes the walls move Into a living room? We make space and become What’s in the corners of our eyes You fit some candle light To little parts of your life Then live to stay indoors And stare at the trap Take the exit North and relive a little Feel the bulldozer push the house a little See your hair turn gray And wring your hands a little You‘re too old for trains You're too old for trains What gets the stains out Of what we keep around? And though the sheets are a mess I‘ll still grow up to be a ghost Sometimes it‘s hard to believe But everybody sleeps Everybody sleeps Eventually.

The last straw Underneath the parking deck. A show of hands Who needs to medicate? The low roads And mountain heroin The safety of dust In the rearview settling I‘ll keep you in mind A bright valley showroom to leave behind Breathe out a gray smoke avatar To fly to heaven from the drivers side of your car Bleed the colors of your father’s flag Remind me again How does it really end? How it became so hated? Don‘t believe the way the trucks speed The way the field got so obscene The drive from you to home with me

Pushover 03:49
Not much has changed A quarter a mile. Never slow down Never ask why. Wake up at dusk And turn on the lights. Never ask why. Never ask why. Lock all your doors And turn off the tube. Wind up your thoughts And pull yourself through. Take of your shoes And push yourself in. Let it sink in. Let it sink in. Did you fall to your knees that night And pray to nothing but the starlit sky? Will you sleep better now? Will you know better now? Will you leave it all up to anyhow? Lift up your head You’re starting to breathe. You let yourself go Just aiming to please. Cut off your tongue And rip out your eyes. Everything’s fine. Everything's fine.

Abaddon 01:37
News from the new head space Likely to follow you Conjure the image of a sacred place Abandoned and destitute. Break out the good champagne! Reeling from every mistake Paved over and piled on You rifle though positive takes But it still feels like Abaddon. Forest, Harmony. Concrete, Apathy. Destroy. Destroy. Destroy. Destroy.
8.
Nobody sees you in the storm It’s just your likeness in a dark room No weight of friendship anymore Just memory speaking soft to you Made these lips to seal a kiss And sing a sweetness into both of us You weave time with what you miss Some little town in California Speak through the cracks Leave pieces where you slept beside the tracks Still see the bottom of the slide Parades of metal, wood and plastic One morning’s brightness in the sky You say Goodbye to all of it! I don’t know how to bury you Or even who I’m talking to. You didn’t have to make the shape I know what it looks like, I just didn’t wanna say I guess it’s funny how life is obvious that way Oh what a home Oh what a shame Oh what a shame.

New Pollen 02:14
Allergies already It hasn’t even snowed After all the trouble Of cutting of your nose I can see the signs Best to let it sleep All we do is talk and talk and talk But never really speak Settle into nothing A bone just meant to break Catalog the time we spend And all the time we waste Embody the sense of the word We’re only amazed and disturbed Collide with the blue An ocean and you An ocean and you.
10.
A peaceful work of art And they took you all apart Now the leaves are hanging low And this bed is the home Where I see you at the door Tan shoes that hurt And the clothes you wore to church You’re vapor holding hands You move from end to end And cry through every floor It’s the part we never found It’s the years of making sounds And every thought of you I have now buried underground. When I am gone and you are gone, Nobody sees it. What’s left goes to landfill Forever laying still Did you follow it there too? I woke up before you moved Just staring at the ceiling They say that’s just how it is You’ll learn to live with it The way the world falls apart Bleeding profit from your heart... That’s the feeling. It’s the words we never said It’s the songs sung to the dead Now every part of you is ever blurring in my head When I am gone and you are gone, Nobody sees it Nobody sees it When I am gone and you are gone, Nobody sees it.

Nothing looks the same No one’s banquet and everyone’s to blame Got fucked up with my friend I think I took too much of his medicine Better living through the great divide. Better living through the great divide. Keep the heater on tonight Lay the things you don’t want burned aside Donate your summer clothes Feed the suit on the other side of the envelope Better living through the great divide. Better living through the great divide. Was it in your blood? Was it in your father’s blood? The Golden man Forty hours and alcohol make a steady hand Forget your kiss But you’ve got a lot of heavy equipment So I do nothing I don’t buy anything. I just work and watch T.V. Better living through the great divide. Better living through the great divide. Was it in your blood? Was it in your mother’s blood? Some sacred work Until the ground can shake this poison dirt Shake this poison dirt.
