Terrified Boy 02:01
lyrics
buy track
Terrified boy Is all that I see One thumb on my neck, Say a prayer for me Stares in my face With a snarling' grin Whispers his love Again and again Terrified boy Goes and bears his teeth Yellowed from care And gum disease Blood on his chin And a wondering eye Sings a prayer To upend the sky

Demon Tongue 02:07
lyrics

Demon tongue spittin' nothin' but lies Jesus bent, puking, swallowing flies Master to servant in no time at all Man, woman, child complicit in Fall Ape killing ape, one by one Man aped cousin, looked like fun World set on fire, embrace the flames Spurn Christ's Neighbor and curse their name Wolves howl mockery at the cross Cast out skeptics at any cost Angel of vengeance wants yr head Won't rest until all backslider's dead Wolves circle fast, the scent of blood Fiercest retribution since the flood City's speaking Babel, terrified eyes Jesus Christ the Savior is swallowing flies

She Wasn't a Singer, And I'm No Painter 02:42
lyrics
buy track
I’m more than man I’m more than light Oh whatever could I be? I must be gone and live Or stay and die a’trembling Is the loneliness of good Just a false equivalency? You can take a chance on Heaven, babe Don’t take a chance on me This injured thought it works to build Towards only one thing A monument to compromise To house our enemies The surface that you show, yr only treachery

The Pulse Hammered in It's Eye 02:43

Whistlin’ dixie 1-2-3 All the little boys tryin’ to get in me With all those eyes why can’t they see I’d rather see ‘em dead on their knees Short of breath walkin’ down these streets Buildings a’mockin’ payin’ me no heed Shot a week’s pay in my eye Don’t worry ma I ain’t afraid to die Won’t ya kiss me now I got no teeth All you pretty boys, yr so hard to please Come around beggin’, lookin’ for to score But baby my shadow ain’t here no more

My Thoughts Toward Taylor Swift Are Unkind 01:58
lyrics
buy track
There's a violence deep in you The things that shadows do The trouble you see, it's too in me Allowance for this won't set us free Wounded tongue set heart to beat Ability to don't give rise to speech Listening as yr words spill out Illusion dispelled, now no doubt

A Gentle Vanity 02:17
lyrics
buy track
The suffering hand extends in time The panic sets in, he was going to die Haunted by ash in the back of my mind If yr lookin' to know about the weather outside Yr asking the wrong fella this time It's cold and gray, forever this way I'm at the end of me, foolish to plead For yr life is lost, forever to me

Hey Little Shoes 02:00
lyrics
buy track
There's trouble brewing in the night There's trouble brewing in the day She finds herself lost between the Damned, eternal, and the grave A ghost in every building A spectre on every floor Spent so long running from them Her feet: wounds and open sores The streets they are lined with coffins Melancholy and disease She spent so long in comfort with 'em Her heart's been carved in city wheeze

Fool's Folly 02:50
lyrics
buy track
Demon set free Let loose in me Corpse all I see Keep distance please Astride rank beast Heart breaks for thee Swings tenderly Minstrel in breeze Demon set free Let loose in me Corpse all I see Keep distance please

Words Like Brother 03:04
lyrics
buy track
Locked in the house with nowhere to go, O Lord Met a thousand faces, meet a thousand more O Lord I can't stand the sight, I can't stand the smell O Lord I am terrified in what they'll see in me O Lord I look to the West, I look to the East O Lord I look to the North, I done look to the South O Lord And nary a soul worth the breath you provide O Lord The world at large believe that it's in charge O Lord I pray each day that you will set this straight O Lord And wipe the evil away with the swing of yr blade O Lord And let the righteous few enjoy this view O Lord And until that day keep the demons away O Lord

You Can't Win 02:20

This love of mine Carry to the next Weigh her down Ankles tied with bricks I'll feed ya to A graveyard of sticks These ghosts of mine Out of sight I bet Their voices lost Silenced with regret Can't find a'one To help secure this net

Deathbird 02:47
lyrics
buy track
The scar covers half of her face She never asked to finish this race The heart don't beat it deflates And how much longer the wait The glass don't bring no relief The same, for sure, of father's beliefs Another night spent all alone Ignoring every call on the phone Her sadness it cuts and it bleeds One more night on her knees

The Shepherd, Nameless 02:49
lyrics
buy track
Jesus abstains as the bones creep higher Satan in league with the silver tongued choir The song lingers in the throat of every child Thoughts run into ground, bodies in piles With Satan's holy song men were led astray Coercion and violence remain tools of the trade Satan sings his song for all the world to hear While Jesus' fabled Kingdom has failed to appear

The Ballad of Baby Teeth 02:06
lyrics
buy track
The fire started about noon It made its way into the room Choked our lungs with black perfume And called us to our doom Our father he will rescue us I hear him strain and sweat and cuss Mom will break if childless Why can't I hear her voice My father felt he failed us While ma and sis and brother Russ I try hard not to hate his guts But now I'm all alone My new home's now out on the streets Soothed by Sparrow's lonely tweet She's dubbed me her sweet Baby Teeth The world is ours for sure We married swift and in the spring Legitimized this torrid fling This way she made my soul to sing But all this too would end
