Remedy 04:56

Ain’t no remedy Just a ghost in the pine For you’re lost and lonely Cost a ration for some ease of mind Cloud walker sleepin’ in sound Drifting better in the ether Drinking from your cauldron cast in disbelief A play of weathered worlds Credit: Day to day Cause: Been caught layin’ awake Ain’t no remedy Just a ghost in the pine For you’re lost and lonely Cost a ration for some ease of mind Might be late to the calling of the gathering storm Ain’t sure when but I’ve lost the bet, now Battered and worn, battered and worn Just a figure to follow A father just an image in the burning coal Where oh where in the fuck’d yah go Ain’t no remedy No, no remedy For a son caught in violence Orders from the tyrant Must pillage the village Pleadin’ for a way of peace Cloud walker sleepin’ in sound Drifting better in the ether Drinking from your cauldron cast in disbelief A play of weathered worlds Credit: Day to day Cause: Been caught layin’ awake

Parenthood 04:13
lyrics

I fell in love with a girl back home She said I wish, but I cannot go Her mother told her dear He’s a bad influence She has my eyes and my spirit Well I’ve always wished to father a child To watch as they grow up and watch them retire But as they grow So does their mind I do not wish them a mind of mine It’s okay to get lost and it’s okay to dream To get thrown in jail For what you believe But dear please know Your mother was right I don’t know how to raise a child They would end up Quite like me Lost in heart on the stormy sea Anchor please My dear anchor quick If you do not anchor we’re going to tip And we will not fall to the rocks nor the waves Just get lost in limbo Washed away We will not fall to the coral reef Just get lost in limbo Shipwrecked by the thief Lost in limbo Lost and shipwrecked Now it’s okay to study the jungles tombs Or die by the hands of your lovers bones But dear please know Your mother was right I don’t know how to raise a child That’s why I wish To father an adult To watch as they notice Their life’s remote They will have kids just to make it through But I do not wish them the minds of me and you Oh, I do not wish, I do not wish Oh, I do not wish them the minds of me and you Oh, I do not wish, I do not wish Oh, I do not wish them the minds of me and you Do not wish No I do not wish I do not wish them the minds of me and you

Cold Love 05:35
lyrics

Cold love, cold love’ll straighten me out Cold love, cold love’ll straighten me out Might be the caution in the wind While this air that you breathe To thin Names spoken from a costume Clever mind not all, not mine at all And I’ll stay hidden from the id in the mirror Wrap my nerves round a burning shelf Keep my fear, keep my fear For somebody else For somebody else Cold love, cold love’ll straighten me out Cold love, cold love’ll straighten me out Might not oh might not know how To calm these thoughts from coming out Seems I’ve soured my tongue from the phrases I’ve sung Caught in the spin of roughing it out I’ll stay hid from the id in the mirror Wrap my nerves round a burning shelf Oh keep my fear, keep my fear For somebody else For somebody else Cold love, cold love’ll straighten me out Cold love, cold love’ll straighten me out But I’ll stay warm In this splintered home With a feeling I’ll regret Just a way to be reborn The cost of it May be a life long debt I’ll bear it for awhile Oh I’ll bear it for a little while Oh I’ll bear it for a while Cold love, cold love’ll straighten me out Cold love, cold love’ll straighten me out Cold love, cold love’ll straighten me out Cold love, cold love’ll straighten me out Cold love, cold love’ll straighten me out Cold love, cold love’ll straighten me out

Limbo 04:18

What’s a question that you ask A man from the past Does he know how to love Does he know how to drink Does he know how to talk to fast There’s a dame in the corner And her eyes, here eyes are made of glass Causality’s the key For a business man in white Doesn’t know the color of death Or maybe he’s okay with getting blood on the lids of his eyes There’s a women in back Who’s chest in painted black He’s in disguise Ain’t nothin’ wrong With a dreamin’ whore Just be weary my friend and run, run for the door Cause she’ll fake your reasons Pollute your soul Keep your dead ass Stuck in la, la, limbo This lamp is to tall To illuminate her steps She’s walkin’ in a tomb of self induced disrespect She ain’t got time to find her meaning She’ll lay with you for yours Yellow decays The eyes of a man stuck in a gaze Lost in his wilderness Stiff from the pain Every line’s another reason Reason to remain Ain’t nothin’ wrong With a dreamin’ whore Just be weary my friend and run, run for the door Cause she’ll fake your reasons Pollute your soul Keep your dead ass Stuck in la, la, limbo Ain’t nothin’ wrong With a dreamin’ whore Just be weary my friend and run, run for the door Cause she’ll fake your reasons Pollute your soul Keep your dead ass Stuck in la, la, limbo

Drinking Song 05:36

Once I need you I’ll never behave Take a line from the pages of the books that you say If I slip my speech out of turn I’ll be buried in the bushes with the stray cats I’ll learn Sometimes It must have been my mistake Rust in the bills Doesn’t matter my skills I’ll be back tomorrow Got one up, lord If I’m a suffering man I’ll still be carried home You can keep your cruel belief Deep down with that money you eat As hard as it may seem I’m still coming home clean I’m in love with the woman I borrow From this world I’ve kept her from Just her sweet embrace’ll keep me straight On a twenty four hour run But somewhere I need to find separate sleep To escape the lies of my selfish keep I need a rest from her protest Of all the lies I swear I’d regret Once I need you I’ll never behave Take a line from the pages of the books that you say If I slip my speech out of turn I’ll be buried in the bushes with the stray cats I’ll learn Sometimes I might have been out of my mind Suffering through cycles of haze in my eye Dazed like the mornings of days I was certain You’d wake to me beating the heart of this withering ghost That’s apart of this life I have choked A keepsake to the me I have spoke Must have been my mistake You can keep your cruel belief Deep down with that money you eat As hard as it may seem I’m still coming home clean I’m in love with the woman I borrow From this world I’ve kept her from Just her sweet embrace’ll keep me straight On a twenty four hour run But somewhere I need to find separate sleep To escape the lies of my selfish keep I need a rest from her protest Of all the lies I swear I’d regret

Hey Mr. Jailer Lets have some fun Oh, I’m stuck behind these bars I’m stuck without a gun Please Mr. Jailer Please bring it on I seen them children playin’ Outside through my window With a rifle in their arms And hate in their eyes Please Mr. Jailer I’m seeing headlights You better count your card You better count ‘em quick There’s a pistol under the table And a man with a twitch Oh Mr. Jailer I ain’t going with There’s a war through these walls That I must attend Just go down the road Turn around the bend Oh Mr. Jailer I bid you adieu You can meet me in the brothel In a year or two I’ll be playin’ for the whores And a bottle of booze Oh Mr. Jailer Life is up to you How do you put a man in concrete When you have never walked a day in his feet Oh, Mr. Jailer How does it feel Do you judge a man by the look in his eye Or how he swings his hips to the midnight sky Oh, Mr. Jailer Do you even know her name Oh, Mr. Jailer What a crying shame Have you ever seen the world Mr. Jailer Beyond your Cadillac Do you drive down the road Mr. Jailer Never looking back Mr. Jailer do you use People as your tools Your going to die A narcissistic fool

Motion lays, still she waves On call, for the war parade Step, step shoulders back Carry all your caskets stacked Gold silent, gold mystique Majesty, majesty Pervert your walk Straight line strut and speak Stillborn Stiletto Oh, your born to weak Gone sitting on a mission writing ghosts Time knows space and the moonlight glow Arrest for intentional possession of a misguided child Gonna hang yah low, gonna hang you low Stillborn stiletto Gonna die by misfire Let me sleep in your eyes Let me sleep in your eyes Let me sleep in your eyes Don’t you sleep in my eyes Stillborn stiletto Well the sun sweeps the valley Looking for a friend An existential crises In the ways of men In and out of conscious drift There’s poison in the air Yet, your born to exist Let me sleep in your eyes Let me sleep in your eyes Let me sleep in your eyes Don’t you sleep in my eyes Stillborn stiletto All the nurse’ll wave to heal me Break my bones and kill me All for motion My dear motion You’re a brave edge knife All for motion My dear motion You’re a brave edge knife All for motion My dear motion You’re a brave edge knife

Dear Mr. Boatman Won’t you take my body down The coppered stare of ghosts drag me To never never land Well, my life’s been on the road Going where I don’t know I idolize the drunken man who grits his teeth Wastes away his world We ain’t going no where quick You can feel my body drift Call me an animal I’m a machine How can I be so Reckless Come Mr. Boatman Why you making a scene You know as well as I This soul, this soul ain’t clean Keep on paddling the nine to five Dream You look like a sucker You look a lot like me We ain’t going to where quick You can feel my body drift Call me an animal I’m a machine How can I be so Reckless Dear Mr. Boatman Won’t you drag my body down The coppered stare of ghosts drag me To never never land Well, my life’s been on the road Going where I don’t care I’ve been walking this shore Since the day I was born Call me an animal I’m a machine How can I be so Fucking Reckless Call me an animal I’m a machine How can I be so Fucking, how can I be so fucking Reckless

Coastal 04:03

I met a whore in vegas Walking curious in the Wynn Told her that I loved her She said I ain’t got time for this I asked her why, she said Boy you ain’t got the gall I sold my soul in Frisco down on Mission street and all Early down in the nook We made our luck, we made our luck With the midnight traveler as our guide We slept in the ridges Of the coastal highway tide We’re just going Where the dead mark the road The dreamers make their romance On this chastised grove It’s an optimist paradise Pessimist belief To be sleeping in the steeple Of these so called concrete * Early down in the nook We made our luck, we made our luck With the midnight traveler as our guide We slept in the ridges Of the coastal highway tide

St. Vith

“Conjuring the kind of image-behind-the-veil kaleidoscopic trance of America’s first wave of psychedelic rock bands... St. Vith, forge the acid tones and bluesy stillness of yesteryear, happily searching the universe for that sacred ether of the mystical sixties…” – Christopher J. Harrington (Ithaca Times) ... more
