i should have known
i could not go

how dark it gets when they finally turn the lights out

The Yips

starting to think that it's too late for me
i'll never be a knuckleballer in the major leagues
i guess that's why it's called a dream
i miss the fluid movements that my body used to make
before i started overthinking every breath i take
i miss feeling god's presence in the marrow of my bones
and knowing i was ranked among the sparrows that he knows
sometimes i get so lonesome all my pores start sweating blood
i don't wanna psych myself out
i don't wanna psych myself so far out that i
miss all the good times
but i miss all the good times
and the moments are passing
but the shadows keep on gathering
i don't think i've been relaxed since the 90s
sometimes i get so lonesome all my pores start sweating blood
i try to wait the bad times out, the bad times keep on showing up
the bad times keep on showing up
starting to think that it's too late for me

Antichrist

god is everything that we've gotten right about love
you are the antichrist to everything that you're afraid of
and you're living in hell
you're living in hell
god so loved us that he sent his son so we can be saved
you are the antichrist to all of god's kids in a cage
and you live in their hell
you live in their hell
you're living in hell
you're living in hell
you're living in hell
you're living in hell

Foldin' Prison Blues
02:45

sometimes i do whatever i want
sometimes i do what i'm told
some days i'm young as the day that we met
some days i'm over a hundred years old
sometimes when you call on god you get through
sometimes you get put on hold
there ain't no road without any potholes
even where the streets are paved with gold
all that i'm trying
all that i'm trying to
all that i'm trying to say
all that i'm trying to say is
i know that there's dishes to wash
and i know that there's laundry to fold
it's not happening today, babe
i think i'm coming down with a cold

My Dearest 1
02:53
|
|||
|
my dearest one
my skies were roadkill grey without you
my dearest one
my sweetest thoughts are all about you
so
if i need to be
soft as a bruise or a tooth from a weird bad dream
that's how soft i'll be
my dearest one
i've been uncalled and brokenhearted
my dearest one
my sun was just the nearest dying star
without you
without you
without you
my dearest one
it seemed like every day just got away from me
without you

Darkness Lite
03:38
|
|||
|
for a long time
i felt so bad
about feeling so bad
for so long
but lately i've been feeling like some day soon
the bad days will be long long gone
and the last thing
i wanna do first thing in the morning
is waste the morning crying
and curse the sun for rising
stay fixated on dying
and how easy it is to bleed out
how long i'll keep the worms fed
how crowded up the heart can get
by darknessess
i'd really rather open the blinds of the windows
in the room at the inn of my heart
and let whatever light is out there in
take any light that i can get
take any light that i can get
i knew some folks that heard about a garden
and they grieved because the garden was a place they'd never see
and they turned to ashes dreaming of the garden
without ever planting even just one tree

Secret Passage
02:34
|
|||
|
if there's a way to let you know i love you
so that you really know i do
that's the way i'll let you know
i love you
if there's a way to let you wander
the halls of my brain
every panic room and safe and secret passage
you would know
you've always had a home
and you will always have a home
|

go and scratch a good dog's ears
if you ever stop believing in miracles
amen
amen
go and scratch a good dog's ears

Gladiator: Resurrection

let's quit our jobs and start a band
so far we've wasted all our lives
punching the clock at nine-to-fives
that we can't stand
let's quit our jobs and start a band
let's book some gigs and hit the road
go on a midwest summer tour
gotta get out of here before
our heads explode
let's book some gigs and hit the road
i wanna go and i wanna take you with me
why would we stay
in this fascist coliseum where it's neighbor against neighbor
when they're gonna kill us either way
let's get turned on and become stars
burn all the bridges where we're from
'cause we've been born again to strum
these cool guitars
let's get turned on and become stars
let's book some gigs and hit the road
let's quit our jobs and start a band
