A Dead Man 04:31
lyrics
buy track
A dead man washed up upon the shore Bloated wearing scraps faded blue There’s a lost soul out there yearning for more He holds us in contemptful, wanting view There was nothing in his pockets but regret His fingerprints are past leaving clues They drag surrounding waters with their nets To find some passing bastard to accuse His begrieved are out there looking Bloated wearing scraps of faded blue At the worlds ends, broken and crooked With each empty mile, building on their fears A dead man washed up upon the shore Bloated wearing scraps of faded blue There’s a lost out there yearning for more He holds us in contemptful, wanting view

Not Afraid To Die 02:17
lyrics
buy track
Not afraid to die Only way they taught me how to live Never asking why Forever forward with what little slack they give Climbing on a rope They keep cutting down and tying short Wallowing in smoke ‘Cause they burned it all down for sport Not afraid to die Only way they taught me how to live Never asking why Forever forward with what little slack they give Not afraid to die Only way to make it in this town Not afraid to die Only way that they’ll let me lie down Not afraid to die Maybe then I’ll finally stay asleep Not afraid to die Throw my useless body on the heap

Middle West 01:38
lyrics

Middle of nowhere West of nothing else Ain't going nowhere Unhappy by myself Drinking everyday And through the whole night too When I'm at the liquor store I always think of you Whiskey for the thought Of life where you're still here Middle of nowhere Screaming loud and clear

The Worms Will Eat You Too 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Whether you’re rich or poor Whether tall or short The worms will eat you too You can be grotesque You can look your best The worms will eat you too No matter what you were before When the reaper’s at your door The worms will eat you too There’s nothing you can do Nothing you can do The worms will eat you too Doesn’t matter if you’re young Or if you’re old and gray We all gotta’ die Some day They put you in a big black box And cover you up with dirt and rocks It all goes well for about a week And then your coffin begins to leak The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out The worms play pinochle on your snout They eat your eyes, they eat your nose They eat the jelly between your toes A big green worm with rolling eyes Crawls in your stomach and out your eyes Your stomach turns a slimy green And pus pours out like whipping cream You spread it on a slice of bread And that’s what you eat when you’re dead The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out In your ears and out your mouth The one little worm that isn’t so shy Crawls in your ears and out your eye There’s nothing you can do Nothing you can do The worms will eat you too

Broken bottle kids We keep our pocket knives hid Once it’s in the air It’s always coming down Your tires we will tear If you near our lair Once it’s in the air It’s always coming down Gravity will take you to the ground And shatter you into pieces Never to be found No way we ain’t ever growing old No way that we’re doing as we’re told No way we ain’t ever growing old No way that we’re dying like we’re told Gravity will take you to the ground And shatter you into pieces Never to be found ‘Cause once it’s in the air It’s always coming down Once it’s in the air It’s always coming down Once it’s in the air It’s always coming down Once it’s in the air It’s always coming down

House Of The Dead 04:08
lyrics
buy track
Boxes piled high At the house of the dead Full of anxious memories That burrow into your head The corners all need cleaning Thoughts swept away now found The dead trail in the dirt As they march into the ground They leave us here with nothing But the stink upon their things Lashing out with dying gasps Pulling down with tightening strings Boxes piled high At the house of the dead Full of anxious memories That burrow into your head They leave us lonely, are they lonely too? They leave us lonely, are they lonely too? They leave us lonely, are they lonely too? They leave us lonely, are they lonely too?

I'll Fly Out To See You Soon 02:54
lyrics
buy track
I taste you so far away There's iron in my mouth when you die In a bar a state or two away I drink instead of cry On parole for your funeral On a road to nowhere new Are you somewhere in the stars Buried somewhere with a lovely view? Do do do do do Do do do do do You'll be a new galaxy You always where for me Your name is on my tongue I'll fly out to see you soon I'll fly out to see you soon I'll fly out to see you soon I'll fly out to see you soon I'll fly out to see you soon

Daddy Wouldn't Want You Crying At His Funeral 03:35
lyrics
buy track
My daddy died tuesday night He’d been fighting life all these years He never did do me right But the news still brought me to tears “Daddy wouldn’t want you crying at his funeral” I heard from the other line “Daddy wouldn’t want you crying at his funeral He always thought you were the one to whine” I brought his body on my shoulder To the place I doubt he’ll rest I tried to hold the waterworks But the hymns they put me to the test “Daddy wouldn’t want you crying at his funeral” Is what my brother said to me “Daddy wouldn’t want you crying at his funeral” Maybe I can finally rest in peace

It's Lonely Dying So Far Away From Home 04:58
lyrics
buy track
When they call you something else It's damn hard to be yourself It's lonely dying so far away From home Always been a bit, walled off At least I knew what I was called, unlike now It's lonely dying so far away From home Dying all alone With a name I do not know It's lonely dying so far away From home
