Run on Me 05:20
lyrics
buy track
I wasted the years that all of them had thinking I had it all in my hands But one was in each, rather than both Too petrified to choose one to throw Without anybody, without any gold Burnt all the nights painting my nose This isn't a plan, it's more like a note just in case it all unfolds Stay out late Keep friends in sight Last names are lifting left and right Sooner ain't better Don't race this life Just to keep your queen tonight Take care of my sister Take care of my folks And do what you want with all of my clothes The old homestead A light warm glow I want it bright when I get to go Rail on me Run on me Donate your soul to me Rail on me Run on me Donate your soul to me.

Eliana 05:07
lyrics

Come out, come out the fire's out They're filing in, they'll start the count Come out, come out please God now The very least just make a sound We'll hide away 'till maybe May The ground is soft with longer days We'll change the locks and buy some paint And pray for hardwood underneath Eliana, don't brace for rain Eliana, it'll rain here every day Eliana, just sing a sad song Eliana, sing Sorrow all night long There's demons in the house tonight The old man left some gold in sight He held the door and left the lights They kicked their feet and drank the wine Eliana, don't brace for rain Eliana, it'll rain here every day Eliana, just sing a sad song Eliana, sing Sorrow all night long While your daddy sleeps, with the TV on And your mother's getting older than she'll let on And your brother's back home from another endless war Hiding in his room he's waiting out another storm All your friends are dancing like nothing has changed They'll just blame Jesus Christ for what becomes their fate Then you'll meet another on a winter Wednesday night But you just can't beat it but god damn you tried Eliana, don't brace for rain Eliana, it'll rain here every day Eliana, just sing a sad song Eliana, sing Sorrow all night long

There's time It renders nothing But everything to me I've been tripping over beads Setting sober scenes An end has been decided Though I'm undecided I've lost nights for you And my ardor too Though I should live in salt For leaving you A belle abandoned I set the standard Now I'm hanging at the hangar I'll own the gamut Though I won't understand it I can't unseen these slights And I can't unheard these sounds So I see another city And I hear another town But we're so damn familiar And our bones are so bare I think we're taller But I'll leave the harbor Somewhere in these slights I'm still on your side What did you do to my eyes A belle abandoned I set the standard Now I'm hanging at the hangar I'll own the gamut Though I won't understand it

Bloodbricks 05:23
lyrics

Oh brother, don't forget The nights we burnt here the night we met The arching gateway to the rest When all the highways have to end There's blood on the red bricks you can't even pick them out. There's tears in the river, you can't even see them now There's snow on the windshield the only car in the town There's words hiding from you that haven't yet left my mouth We wore this place out We wore this place out Through all the thunder and all the doubt We wore this place out Oh I will ride You can leave if you'd like Full and by I will ride And you can leave if you'd like Full and by You can leave if you'd life We wore this place out We wore this place out Through all the thunder and all the doubt We wore this place out

Thought I'd be so much more than this Thought I'd see so much more than this Thought I'd see so much more of you Thought I'd be so much more like you Missed my chances Missed my exit Missed my chance and I missed you Missed my chances Missed my exit All the suns I've used on you You said that we'd be famous Just like that it was gone As that winter frigid weather Lost the brush with marching thaw Disconcerting, you were early Now the time's not right, right now But I'm certain, you were early Now the time's not right, right now Missed my chances Missed my exit Missed my chance and I missed you Missed my chances Missed my exit All the suns I've used on you

Snow 04:20
lyrics

The light behind me it lives in my mind all of my nights It means a minute to me with all of the line you laid and then pulled away from me Now that I am older and you've not much grown here surrounded by snow If you don't feel the sheets then how will you know and how will you grow Back in your still where you wash your hands of a lesser man and the pain that he holds How's it that you know he looks like your brother bathing in snow Sell it all away if you won't behave well you won't have to stay Chronic leaver but I don't want to leave her despite all the snow and the blood that it holds Back in your still where you wash your hands of a lesser man and the pain that he holds

Cowboy Magic 05:05
lyrics
buy track
Cowboy magic will fade away There's no circling the dates Cowboy magic will fade away The kids will overtake the stage They'll take the day where the beads fell And this old river knows it well They'll take the sun, leave us the swells This old river knows it well The only daughter of the ladies' man will unglue the dance floor from his hands The rights burn low, so hide the marlboros When brighter lights shine on the old chouteau The cowboys tip their hats to belvederes They're all too busy with the diamonds here to see them patch their holes and ride away And fade away as all the days decay One by one they're led out towards the coast The sunlight follows everywhere they go The radios they'll get thrown away Littered all along the riverbank But when I go to those mountains With valleys more like oceans of smoke And when I drink from their rivers I'll be drinking all on my own

The night I think is over We lasted longer than the rest The most unhappy hour Can't be as good as it gets We hate it when the lights go on But every time we'll play the same damn song My eyes have lied to me before And in the morning you'll be balled up on the floor Your eyes will lie the same as mine And I'll be only what you might see some times I'm here tonight just like the last Won't get the night but we can get the money back We're facing less than what's behind Don't want to waste what we might have left in a line I swore I'd never let her Yet we're alone together Under the moon I'd ask about The only thing bright in this town Avoided smoke with all the joes Still going home with smoke-filled clothes Tip-toe around the mines of men Tomorrow they'll be here again I'm here tonight just like the last Won't get the night but we can get the money back We're facing less than what's behind Don't want to waste what we might have left in a line

Mayor of Mont Clare 05:14
lyrics
buy track
By now, I've been gone to long By now, any weight's been withdrawn Holed up in a silent home One boat's already gone With a steady hand from you I will bring you no good news Instead of the altar I'll be in the pews These white gloves they might get some use In my heart where you'll always be In my heart where you're never weak In my heart where you're wild and free In my heart where you'll never bleed Rain's been rolling all down the steps The wind from the city has made this mess It sits on the tiles, it ruined a dress But oh dear god don't you let it get the rest In my heart where you'll always be In my heart where you're never weak In my heart where you're wild and free In my heart where you'll never bleed

On a spring night River runs bright Tryna live out my own advice You know you're gonna live in my mind You know you're gonna live in my mind Brightalize it, brightalize it, though we're months away yet I get a wisp of you on nights just like these When the sirens they are singing all along the city streets You got smoke in your eyes, but we can see for many miles Hide it all for a little while, run through ruins tonight I wish I cherished it I wish I nourished it When the primrose fell on my skin It's been engrained in me since then Now when I am with you I will not divert my mind Cause the dreams they maybe do come true once in a while You're a first and last name and everyone they know your face Now every place that I go I take another one with me I don't wanna be spent The way you spent me then You own the last voice I'll ever hear If I do not return to thee So much further from the river And so much closer to the sea Inside a different state in a different state That is much too far from me That is much too far from me That is much too far from me Can hear the band below As the city starts to slow You're not a drifter if you won't be alone Hand your wings out, there's no need now when they'll put you up for free Do you feel held, I don't feel so well when my prime's packed and ready to leave When you go out on your own now diamond boys won't look past your needs You've got all my mind is that alright Everyone moves on but me
