1.
The Wait (free) 02:43
We're standing still on a mountain of dirt Shooting BB guns at clouds and hitting our feet (On a mountain of dirt) We're not alone when we're breaking the teeth The mouth has swallowed more than we know This town is a coal dusted train wreck Slums and junkies Kids on the rails in stagnant dens of smoke Lone mothers, empty bottles, noses of coke We are not awake enough
2.
Green As Ever (free) 06:08
The vast, great white death is on its way Goodbye I'm sorry I didn't warn you I'm sorry, this isn't the first time I have seen things like this Annual devastation My friends, my neighbors You will pass and I will remain I said I'm sorry As every leaf and every twig begins to fall, a piece of me will go with it But I stay rooted in this soil, forever tall, forever green A beacon of light to those next in line I stand tall, green as ever
3.
Medicine Show (free) 04:45
Your mouths have been fucked open and wired shut From your soapbox, on your recliner, from your front lawn, in your healthy, wholesome housing development Puppeteers, ventriloquists You're all talking with your hands The opening act for the medicine show Miracle cure
4.
Untitled (free) 01:54
Everyone's worst nightmares are becoming harsh realities We love to play the victim, but we're all guilty What will it take? We all live the same Gluttony, greed, consumption We are dependent on tragedy The only hell I believe in is the one on earth
5.
Born For Hard Luck (free) 03:55
I was born for hard luck You look at me, you see a man who has lived that way A monolith made of shit is my monument to what I have not achieved Tear soaked t-shirt Trudging along O Brother, where have you been? O Brother, I'm coming to find you O Brother, I'm almost there
6.
Skipping Stones (free) 09:18
I've been skipping stones Watching things fly, tasting the dirt It sits on my tongue the same way it always has I've been skipping stones Riding the ripples in the water, letting them carry me to places unfamiliar I've been standing with cement legs Hoping for light, praying for a heat to dry this up I've been skipping stones, but what good does it do? As I wade in this lake, my feet search for feeling, a brush or a bite But things stay stagnant, eroding with time Nomads of the same mistakes, I know that we are the same breed I've always made those mistakes myself We climbed the mountain, just to slide back down We sliced ourselves, and then we drank the blood And we tasted every definition of bittersweet The things we said about where we are and where we need to be The things we said about singing The things we said about what we have become The things we said about struggling The tension is breaking my bones
