Loose Cannon 01:48
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.

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 02:15
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.

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.

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.
