Back To The Whip
Traitors talk
When they’re staring down the proof
Set fire to the roof and run
And I can’t choose
Given up my life to lose
Another round of trouble
Making out like doubles on the dime
And if it took the time
I’d be miles away so far apart
The poison burns inside my heart
I’m going...
Back to the whip!
And me myself so sick
I’m going back to the whip again
I’m going
Back to the whip!
I’M never tired of my old tricks I’m going...
Back to the whip..again...again
Hands are tied
And the rope is cutting through
And all the hope is draining fast
And I won’t last... My numbers coming up
So gather up the dust, kiss it once
And throw it to the ground
And when I hear the sound
Of those trains running of the rail
My body starts to shake and flail..
I should have known
I should have taken up the plan
Instead of following my own
Now its in the can
I’m sobered up enough and I can stand
And if you see my kids...
Tell them who I am
And let hold my hand
Don’t break down in front of me
The poison spreads so easily

Diamonds (feat. Chris Broach)
There ain’t nobody who can break down the devil in my spine
Even though you gave so many reasons for this strangelove
I can’t believe them...
Each bleeding hour of my time has the numbers crossing out
I heard you were waiting on the terrace
Now can you spare us once more look around?
Take your diamonds
Line them all up in a row!
One more worthless artifact -
Someone who I used to know
Now that bronze medal on your back won’t keep away the shame
No, it won’t kill all the shadows of every lover
...who ever played your game
My empty fist on the table has hollowed out my bones
Outside my family, no one knows me
You’d better save me...you’d better show
Take your diamonds
Line them all up in a row!
One more worthless artifact -
Someone who I used to know

Raleigh
I wanna find my perfection
Wanna feel like I’m special
You’re all married now and it’s no big deal
Last night was a total bastard -
calling out now looking for answers
But he brought us back up on the stage
And when I fell out - it was no big deal
Come back ... ...
Come back and you’ll find
A new kind of shame / A new kind of face
A spiderweb full of pain...one you just can’t replace.
I’d crawl back in the kiln without hesitation
And all those tender hooks searching for a feel
And I know you’re on this train
I saw you at the station
And I can tell by the smell that he’s been on your wheel
Come back ... ...
Come back and you’ll find
A new kind of lust / A new kind of lie
Come and put it inside...
And you just might believe it
I said you just might believe it
How does it feel? Just like you need it
Hear the loop in your head - I’m gonna repeat it
Just might break your spirit this time....
Come back ... ...
Come back and you’ll find
A mound of mistakes
A head full of snakes
Now they’re burning the witch..
And you’re tied to the stake

Esoteric Lover
I’m one step close to the water
One kiss to the brain
I need an esoteric lover
Before I go insane
I cursed out every shadow
I pissed off until i was broke
I need an esoteric lover now
to kiss me before i choke
And baby, I can’t sleep
When your lips go so hard and so deep
I gotta keep you safe at the harbour
And honey, when you weep
I promise to dry your eyes with silken sheets
If you promise to stay sweet
...now...
I’m one step close to the water
One kiss to the brain
I need an esoteric lover
Before I go insane
I emptied out the furnace
Nothing but slime and smoke
I need an esoteric lover now
To kill me before i croak
And baby, I can’t sleep
When your lips go so hard and so deep
I gotta keep you safe at the harbour
I’ll tell you something no one knows
I wanna burn off my body while you wear my clothes
But I’ll keep you safe at the harbour

Decoder Ring
I went nowhere fast this year
Confused, but made it clear
Even if the paranoia mounts the fear
I still know they’re out there watching
And I’ve been talking to some people who should know.
And my Decoder Ring
It flashes every time a screw is loose
And all my sources say there’s nothing more
confusing than the truth.
Now I’ve got a secret tone
Play it back on the telephone
Hidden message on a string
Now my body and brain won’t stop ringing
And that sensations all I wanna feel
And my decoder ring
It flashes every time a screw is loose
And all my sources say there’s nothing more confusing Than the truth.
....
Set my bones alight Confidential parasite
Gotta keep the people up...
Keep the people up to speed.
And my Decoder Ring
It flashes every time a screw is loose
And all my sources say there’s nothing more
confusing than the truth.

Into The Earth (feat. Motoharu Fukada & Christian Madden)
They pissed on our graves
They threw the weeds right into our face
And there’s nothing more I can take
They’ve broken the bones
They’ve taken the arms up under the fire
And there’s stones piled high in the lake
Keep cursing the time
Your mask can barely hide your lies
And the demons are dragging me down...
Down into the earth.
Baby I’m worth more ... Save for the gold that you own
Now I’m cold. — Leave me alone.
Broken my balls
I lost them back on the ranch at the falls
With Jessica screaming out
Yea she kicks when she crawls
But she loves the wire and twine in her jaws
And she told me to drink all the gin
Ain’t no sin like the shame that she drives
Into the hands like a spike —- do what you like
Leave me alone
Now everyone knows
The deeper there mouth the harder it grows
When you slide down in the seat
Take it heavy and slow
Where we’ve been - nobody knows
I can barely keep it discreet
Now you know how to handle the choke
Do you like the taste of those tears
As they drip down your throat?
No more hope
I gotta go home..Cuz baby, I’m broke...
Now Leave me alone!

Forkburn On The Tongue
I heard about this crush
Some velvet trap that lures you with the promise to rust
Incapable of any feelings that you should trust
I’m faded so my bones won’t weigh me down..
But will you sew me up?
There’s no room left
Now I gotta run...
Run away... run right now cuz here she comes
A forkburn on the tongue
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN???
Do you know what I mean?
Every second ripped away like a magazine
and I thought that your blade would’ve cut me clean
but i keep my collar tight while i’m turning the key.
But will you sew me up?
There’s no room left
Now I gotta run...
Run away... run right now cuz here she comes
A forkburn on the tongue
Chew it up ... bite it off ...
try again now spit and cough
look out now; here she comes...
She’s got a ...
A forkburn on the tongue

Wig
Have you seen my head tonight?
Gotta get my wig around it.
It’s too late to let it slide my way
But I’ll turn this pain into a habit.
Don’t set a fire before you learn to run
Better count your bullets before you shoot the sun
Don’t ....don’t count on me
Cuz I’m not the one
Have you seen my hands around?
I gotta get those rings out running.
I gave them up for the night again
Faking out now for the feeling
Don’t set a fire before you learn to run
Better count your bullets before you shoot the sun
Don’t ....don’t count on me
Cuz I’m not the one

Grim Finalé
Not gonna lie...
I felt something today
I felt so twisted up inside
And i knew I’d lose you in the end
So many bones in the garden...
Another kick to my head thats well deserved
But I’m barely scraping time
Walking past the house where we once lived
Busted chain broken window
A salty taste on the tip of the tongue
On the tip of the knife
Cuz you were better than the time
Better than the night
Cuz you better than the taste
Better than the fade
No matter what I said
My eyes have the world spin around
And now I’m possessed with the drink
Tilting close to the end of a dream
A dream that we saw through
But I won’t break - not this time!
I’ll wait for you
Cuz you were better than the time
Better than the night
Cuz you better than the run
Better than the screw
Better than what you knew
Your face -- I barely recognize
Did you pass away?
Or just passing through the time?
Better than the lie.
Better than the truth
Better than the fade.
Better than what I said
Better than the light
Better than the taste
but it had to fade away
always.
