Good

Give me a reason why I should stay
When all we talk about is how time flies
I'm not that kind of person, you’d say
You never were too good at telling lies
The hour's late the music's too loud
I told myself I wouldn't drink tonight
I always wanted to make you proud
Despite the desperation, I feel all right
So this is what I say to you now
This stupid love song is the best I've got
It's all for you, so please take your bow
I hope you think it's good even if it's not

Why Don't You Love Me?
04:51

I don’t mind if things aren’t perfect
I don’t need much to get by
But one more day without your love
And I know I’m gonna die
And while I’m not too proud,
For it’s an ugly way to be,
I dream every night about the day
The day your life belongs to me
So why don’t you love me?
How many times can I tell you I’m yours before you give yourself up to me?
I need you to be mine
So why don’t you?
So why don’t you?
You don’t know who I am
I’ve been around a thousand years
I’m a man, a villain, come to do you wrong
I’m the child of your fears
So kiss me just one time
I need your lips to make me strong
And don’t get too attached to your blood
It will be mine before too long
So why don’t you love me?
Why don’t you come down and give me your hand when you’re flying high above me?
I want to fly with you
So why don’t you love me?

Cut You Down
03:54

I can't explain the feeling
It's like a new version of the same thing
We never knew what to believe in
What we had, we never gave it a name
Wait, not too far
Wait, not too far
Can I reach down into your pocket?
It's getting hard to see your face
I'm not okay, but I'm surviving
You were right to get away from this place
Did you ever find a drink you don't mind?
Did you do something different with your hair?
Are you happy with your new life?
Are you hoping I still care?
Wait, not too far
Wait, not too far
Wait, not too far
I want to cut you down
I want to cut you down
I want to cut you down

What you thought was just a minute
Was the day in all your dreams
Don't get up, I'm gone already
I got two tickets, and they've both been good to me
And I’m leaving
Thank you for the floors you lent me
Could've said I wanted shoes
Nothing in the world can keep me holed up
Nothing, no nothing holds me down like you
And I wish it weren’t true
Didn't you say that you were worried?
Didn’t you think I might blame you?
Didn't you say that you were busy?
Night march to me, won’t you?

Our man died in a hospice bed
On the far side of the room
Where the couch is now
We all cried and held our heads
We would never be the same
It still hurts to say his name
We knew that the time had come But we couldn't brace ourselves
It wouldn’t work that way
So we sat there in disbelief
And we held our heads
Then went back to bed
Our man left an enormous mark
On everything we've done
And everything we do
His woman had a rougher time
She couldn't see the skies
For the darkness in her eyes
The days were long and the nights were cold
We never did see what we came here for
So we hopped on the first flight back
And prepared the house
For the final attack
Where do good men go?
I hope he's made some friends
I hope he's strong again
I hope he sees us and he knows
I hope he knows we're trying
God knows we're trying
She gave away all the money she could spend
To buy a little time
And maybe peace of mind
But you can't insure a peaceful end
The silence never stalls
Its violence doesn't bend
Things are going at a painful rate
We can't escape
Our worst regrets
So we pick our things and move along
Book another flight
Outrun the night

The Ghost
04:14
|

|
A misty window
Blue-grey, no rain
An empty garden
No life, no pain
We used to live here
So long ago
The memory is fading
And now I don’t know
You anymore
Let me see you again
Like I see you in my dreams
I’m the ghost
I want to make you scream
Nothing living comes here
This house has been dark for years
Occupied by the shadows of time
Who know their places but not their lines
The shutters are falling down
The doorbell makes no sound
A disembodied voice cries out
A whisper becomes a shout
The door flies open but you can’t pull yourself away
And then you hear me say
Let me see you again
Like I see you in my dreams
I’m the ghost
I want to hear you scream

Floatin'

I've been floatin'
Through my life
I've been coastin'
Through my life
All the time
When you ripped out
My cord
It was the only thing
Keeping me tied
To the ground

The Fire & The Nail

[Intro]
Waking up in a strange bed in a strange town
This is your house
On an airship in a building by the ocean
You grew up here
There’s a path through the woods by the water
Where you used to fish and swim
And the hill where you broke your shoulder
You’ve never been here
[Over And Over Again]
Having all your fun at once
Making time to be tired
Smoking your last cigarette
Over and over again
Nothing wrong with a little too much
Tinder in the fire
When lying to yourself
Is better than the truth
[The Road]
I walked out into the road
Saw things there I never know’d
Turned to walk back to my house
And it was gone
As I closed my tired eyes
Blackness fell upon the skies
You drove past me slowly but
You were not you
In the ever-growing fog
I was turned into a frog
Floodwaters washed me away
Into the sea
I was free
[Burn The Hammer]
Burn the hammer, bury the dust
No one knows your true religion
Take some water from the kitchen
Don’t forget to leave a note
Do the things you want to do
And take care of yourself
You’re all you have when all you know
Is not the way it was before
[Outro]
You crawl out of the sewer on a city block
You find a familiar house
There’s floors and floors of beds and bodies and no doors
These are the places you forgot you didn’t know
If you ever find yourself thinking about
The fire and the nail
Kick yourself three times
And hope you wake up soon

Come downstairs
Tell me your dreams
I don't mind
If it takes all morning
We can stay
Warmer inside
We just might
See a patch of light through the window
We can dream
Of walking all day
Come and see
The thistles and the roses
Follow me
Down to the lake
In our minds
There's no time for sleep and no rainy days
There's no going home

Better

Make me clean, make me pure
Keep my feet on the floor
Don’t be mean like before
It’s not funny anymore
Goldy’s on his way
To make us all feel better
Time to start the day
This one will be better
