Headdress (free) 03:11
lyrics
download
There's someone sneaking in my bed, I hope its the devil in a headdress. But I know he don't got his hold on you. There's someone sneaking in my bed, I hope it's an angel with a letter. But I know she don't have nothing to say. It was written in the scriptures, that I had seen you in the pictures. How could you say you forgot about me? You gotta eat child, you gotta sleep child, you gotta breathe child to let your demons out. You gotta run child, you gotta crawl child, you got it all child so let your feelings out.

Who's gonna search my soul? (free) 02:38
lyrics
download
It's all that I know and it's all that I'll ever know. But who's gonna search my soul. If the god-head is dead, I'll be staying in bed. 'Cause then who could we count on instead? You can lay down the stones through the bricks of my bones. And throw me down holes that my brain can't control. And tell me I'm not alone when I'm alone. I'm at the bottom of the ladder and I need it so badly.

Orphan (free) 03:25
lyrics
download
It's back to being an orphan again. Just when I thought that I had seen the end, you come sneaking around my house and breathing down my neck. He said, "I know what it's like in the end." I learned to read and write well again. But I knew it was just part of the plan. You come sneaking around my house and breathing down my neck.

All That We See (free) 01:59
lyrics
download
Every little mention of your name, brings tears to my face. Why'd you make my mind going playing tricks like this? I lose it still. But I found a place to make sense of everything. It turns out this space can't be all that we see. How long must I climb? 'Cause inside I slide. It warms these bones to know that I try. Lord, I try.

Get Behind The Mule (free) 04:08
lyrics
download
Molly be damned smote Jimmy the Harp With a horrid little pistol and a lariat She's goin to the bottom And she's goin down the drain Said she wasn't big enough to carry it Choppity chop goes the axe in the woods You gotta meet me by the fall down tree Shovel of dirt upon a coffin lid And I know they'll come lookin for me boys And I know they'll come a-lookin for me Got to get behind the Mule In the morning and plow Got to get behind the Mule In the morning and plow Got to get behind the Mule In the morning and plow Got to get behind the Mule In the morning and plow Big Jack Earl was 8'1 He stood in the road and he cried He couldn't make her love him Couldn't make her stay But tell the good Lord that he tried Dusty trail from Atchison to Placerville On the wreck of the Weaverville stage Beaula fired on Beatty for a lemonade I was stirring my brandy with a nail boys Stirring my brandy with a nail Well the rampaging sons of the widow James Jack the cutter and the pock marked kid Had to stand naked at the bottom Of the cross And tell the good lord what they did Tell the good lord what they did

Sabbath (free) 03:11
lyrics
download
Making shapes in my head. I'm tracing outlines of the prophets and celebrities I thought to be dead. You command the best from me. But the taste of mothers blood don't got that kick I always thought it should be. If you're all out of excuses you're breaking the law. It's dumb you have excuses at all. I'm tracing frames from beneath my bed. 'Cause I have to hide from something, so I'm hiding from those books that I've read. Not all your actions have come from reactions I saw. I know I can only run for so long.

I'm Hungry (free) 01:07
lyrics
download
I'm hungry but the streets are bare. We've been hiding from the ghosts that we thought would be there. In the cities, in the woods alone. We've been laughing 'cause we had it all along. I'm just sad 'cause I thought I had won. It's hard to laugh at the damage I've done.
