Loose Cannon

I never died for your disease
Got scars from all those surgeries
She found me sleeping in the heat
Those flames are always waking me
I try to stop and let it be
But nothing's ever happening
It's a cold summer
And loving you is a bummer
Now I'm caught in the act
I can't help these feelings lately
Desire lost
Compulsion maybe
Either way regret comes chasing
And then
Of course
It makes me hate me
I keep passing out
And losing sleep
I still can't take things
Seriously
I'm a loose cannon
The daughter of the hangman
He's been hard boiled
Since my Mama tied the knot
And I call Granny
Tell her thanks for being family
Now I'm taking to the sky
And I'm dropping the bomb
On Love.

Because You Know
02:53
|

It's not because you know
That I'm alright
It's the way you've been throwing them stones
That keeps you in the cold
We never traded blows
Until that fight
You were so mad I didn't come home
That you punched me in the nose
I can't stop coughing up this smoke
And now it's in my eye
And so were you until you had to go
Now I'm coughing up your ghost
Excuse me if I don't write
But I no longer feel right
It gets so hard around here
That I can't hold my own
I know this ain't my home
But I just wanna see the light.

Autumn Rose
You pushed me to a blue-ish red
I see you mostly in my head
It makes me avoid my bed
But I don't miss you anymore
Autumn Rose
I see you every time it's fall
I see you every time it's fall
I see you every time it's fall
Oh tell her
He's a really old record
That my Grandmother gave me
When she moved to the city
Oh Jesus
Jesus
Darling
Patience
Have a little patience
And we can to it
We can get through it
It'll be perfect
It'll be perfect
Autumn Rose
You can believe in me
I said, Autumn Rose
You can believe in me
Have a little patience
And we can get through it
We can get to it
It'll be perfect
Autumn Rose
I see you mostly in my head
I see you mostly in my head
I see you mostly in my head
Have a little patience
And we can to it
We can get through it
It'll be perfect
It'll be perfect
We can get to it
We can get through it
Autumn Rose.

Exhale The Dread
02:39
|

This winter ain't been
Too kind to me
It's been cold as hell
And diseased
So I shiver
From the frost in my feet
All the while
You laugh off the heat
This winter I've been
Bound and broke
Forced to choke
On all the words that you spoke
Now I've finally got
Your hands off my throat
I killed what was a part of me
And I exhaled a ghost
Like you said
It's pointless
To even pretend
You were right
Despite
You were my best friend
So good night
Sweet Eyes
You left me for dead
But it's springtime now
And I don't have to dread you
Anymore.

Wolf
03:26
|
|||
I woke up this morning wanting to die
I could but I wouldn't
So I'll live with coming up shy
It was never for money
It was always for love
But my love's too expensive
I'm always paying up in blood.
Don't worry because I'm coming home tonight
And please hurry because I still can't get it right
And I won't give in to the wolf
It's tempting you know
But I know
That I can't help running
Stop thinking of me
Like someone who don't bleed
Because I do
And I'm run down honey
I'm trampled
And bloody
And nobody knows that this wolf
Don't howl anymore
Scream bloody silence
At the place where I stood
I'm stealing for feeling
But my intentions are good
Too often I'm taking
And make myself dumb
But I can't live like that
I just wanted to be numb
But don't worry because I'm still in control
Please hurry because it's all just getting old
And I won't give in to the wolf
It's tempting you know
But I know
That I can't help running
Stop thinking of me
Like someone who don't bleed
Because I do
And I'm run down honey
I'm trampled
And bloody
And nobody knows that this wolf
Don't howl anymore

The Shakes
01:55
|

Mary's in the hallway looking for life
And Johnny's in his arm because he always wanted to fly
They'll both go to hell
But they never will die
Your conscience only matters
As hard as you try
It's a goddamn mess at the top of the stairs
But the fifth floor is raging about the screaming down there
They'll welcome you in heaven
If you only grow a pair
Now that's pulling at my brain
And my lungs pulled back my air
This is why I shake
Oh call me crazy, call me please
I'm speaking our about things I see
Hallucinations usually
But I just can't be sure
The hooligan's been screwing me
Put bolts on my philosophies
My girl is stale with jealousy
Her problem's unresolved
A little aching part of me
Has eaten at my sanity
And fucked up my sobriety
My weekends are too long
I'm the king of all calamity
The bane of my brutality
I can't feel right when you're with me
I hate to be alone.

This Hole
03:55
|
|||
I save my money
For the girl who lives next door
Cause he's not looking right
To me
He's always getting what he's wanting
But never getting what she needs
Charming
From you to me
It's what I want
But will never be
Rain down
On me
The things you said that I never heard
My dear
My year has been so cursed
I save my heartache
For the morning
Every day
Because I just don't feel it anymore
And it's torn my lungs out
More times than I can count
Still I'm staring
But I hate the gore
I've got no money
And I've barely got soul
It's a cause to roll out on the road
There ain't no rest for me
Down in this hole
I step
Then I slip
Then I'm falling down
Oh well
That's life here
In this town.

Trouble
03:04
|

You don't know the trouble I know
You don't know the trouble I know
You go down to the river
But it still don't save my soul
You don't know the trouble I know
You ain't seen the things that I've seen
You ain't seen the things that I've seen
You stand in the meadow
I watch my brother bleed
You ain't seen the things that I've seen
You ain't done the things that I've done
You ain't done the things that I've done
You stand right in front of me
Throwing rocks just for fun
I'd hate to do the things that you've done
You don't know the trouble I know
You don't know the trouble I know
You go down to the river
But it still don't save my soul
You don't know the trouble I know
Oh darling
You don't know
The trouble I know
You don't know
The trouble I know.

Bury It All
06:42
|
|||
Seems these days are not my own
Finding new ways
To learn how to cope
Now I know you're not coming home
Neither am I
So let's get on
Off of the sidewalk and into the road
It seemed like a fix
Now it seems like a joke
And I'm going to miss you
With summer smokes
But that's okay
I'd rather smoke alone
Wipe me slowly off your cheek
It's just a bit of rain
And so your flame burns bigger than mine
Well that's okay
I don't burn beside you anyway
Blue in the face
Black in the heart
That's how I was
That's not how we'll part
Educate me if you're so smart
Were we both this fucked up
From the start
If you're speaking in tongues
Why are you speaking at all
Are you clearing your conscience
Well don't worry my doll
Out in the streets
We learned how to fall
It may take some time
But we all get up
Never again
To let you see me crawl
It might be closing time
But I promise
It is not last call
Tonight I drink in celebration
Because I finally buried it all
I bury it all in smoke.

Swift Mischief
02:33
|
|||
I waited for my sadist
But he hasn't got none
And I'll pretend
That's not a problem
You say that I'm fucked up
But there's nothing wrong with me
And I'm not trying to leave
But the rings around me eyes
Are a picture of need
I never had a trick that wasn't
Up my sleeve
You've got no time for me
And I'm lower than I'm cold
Cause I'm a user
And a thief
I steal for my sweet relief
It's all that I know
To get by
And I wake up on the ground
I hide so you don't come around
All the cold
And the snow
Are inside
I don't worry though
I've still got
The time to kill
Forget the consequences
Just kiss me tonight
And tomorrow begin the regret
You're worn out
On second chances
But I will be your first
In seconds I'll ask you to dance
As time goes on you find out
It's not what you put out
It's what you must put back instead
And I'll break your heart slowly
Just so you can fuck with my head
And I'd do it all over again
If it wasn't for
All the pain we feel
We'll never talk about it
We just shoot those nights up
And start it all over again
It takes too long to explain
Why I am this way
It's the same as why
You are with him
And you weren't wrong
About those things
That you told me but
They've got you under my skin
I'm too fargone to forgive
As dreadful as I've ever been.
