Gave away by morning breath, The smell of last night's sweat, Convicting me like stones inside my chest Sun peaks through the window, Burns me to the marrow, Tossing blindly into pornographic sights hemmed into my pillow Hazy feeling, Embrace the healing. Searching for an alibi, On the bottom shelf porcelain white, Salt and water rectify in cheekbone pools please open up my eyeszy feeling, Embrace the healing. Blurry lights start to settle in, Dilated axle, Skin pulled tight and fluttering
2.
All my limbs are withered up, I'm thirsty for the truth, and though I sip it's not enough, For to ease my ruin So I'll build a trench around myself, To hide from my own mind, And withdraw from a bank account, That wasn't really mine My kingdom for a king, My kingdom for a king, Make me great again, I need you, please, Won't somebody come rule me You can wear a mask to scare my friends, and tell them you're a murderer, Then they'll come to you on fear of death, and trust your every word My kingdom for a king, My kingdom for a king, Make me great again, I need you, please, Won't somebody come rule me

Tall bricks spire higher with your greed, Invest now into decadence cuz stocks are going cheap Just make sure that they stay asleep, I hope you enjoy your stay on wall street The wolves are foaming out the mouth to feed upon the meek, Set a table fragrant with the stench of your deceit

Potomac 04:32
I remember when you lit up, On long walks across the bridges, Floating down stream wrapped up in a diesel dream We were watching blinking highway cars, And far off chimneys penetrate the stars, I promised you we were fine as long as you were by my side Take me back to the place where we first fell in love Banks of the potomac watching all the smoke stacks rising up And now there's monsters all around us puffing giant cigarettes, You told me for a year or two you've been scared to death, I called ya here to meet up, when're we gonna make amends?, Well, you're tired and you're thin but still don't want my help. So, you know where you gotta go but I guess you'd rather be alone You know what it's coming to but I guess you'd rather be alone

Happy 02:58
Trench coat sales outside a coffee shop, Street walker waiting by a school bus stop, Handshake tradeoff – Colorado crop Fill your mind with the backdoor buzz, Get in bed with a monkey god, Anything to live in a mirage Sunken eyes, pothole soul, Anxious back alley dropsical, Pack your fears into another bowl Save your lips from the burning coal, Wrapped tight on the joint you rolled - You’re in control I wanna be happy
6.
Oh, the springs are poking out Wrinkled into disarray, Moth balls filling up my mouth, Body smudged with dirty stains It's lonely in this bed filled with friends just playing pretend, And I can't trace the lines back to where we met, Yes, it's lonely in this bed filled with friends just playing pretend, I wish I'd wrap myself around you but I can't, With a belly full of guilt it's still lonely in my head Golden waters by the gallon, Burning tonic, ease my pain A glass to overlook my drowning Put my trust in you to save
7.
Let You By 04:15
A town of flaming faces, Lined up at the gates, Waiting for a verdict, their glory brought down to the grave The jewel of all the nations, Wrapped naked in a cape, The morning star is sinking, gluttonous and overweight You can't call out my name anymore, You know I wanted this more than anyone wanted this, Oh, Lord I tried, I just can't let you by Their fame is smashed to pieces, Jackals roam the streets, A cloud of smoke is rising at the feet of the mercy seat Wailing in the courtroom, Echoes from the tomb, The sun no more to set, no more luster from the moon
8.
You've been dreaming so well

No Change 03:30
Wasting away in sewage water, Bathing in the shadows, White-washed hymnal sitting on the alter Tugging at the cleric's collar, For I am the dog ear author, Wrap myself in undone threads of honor I don't care what it means, There's no changing me, There no changing me, no There's no change in me. Caught in mud and mire, Aiming twisted gunfire, Dressing up the stink of my desire In the oils of my slobber, I anoint myself the father, Singing praises to the holy dollar
10.
The End 03:23
You had a reverie that you won't admit, That you could do what you want and not get caught in it, And when I spoke your name you ran away and hid, To cover up your shame to clothe your nakedness Let go of happiness or I can't be a part of this My breath is in your lungs, You think you've been dreaming so well That this can't be the end But it is! I was a father, my child obstinate, I left a fortune for your benefit, But then you fell in love with a counterfeit, Sold yourself as a slave into his ownership I'm waiting for you, come back.
