Hell and You
03:21
|
|||
|
Went to the bar to get a little closer to myself and learn
Things I never really wanted to know.
The walk got a little far so I got into a cab that smelled like vinegar; Stains that showed what’s in the girl before.
But I want to be where all the stupid shit I say Sounds so romantic and true.
Cause I’d rot in hell with you,
If you’d just ask me to.
I love the shitty things we do together,
Live with me in this sin forever.
Hell and you, I know you want it too.
I hope you take the shot, see this chance.
Feel the fire, and let me have this dance with you.
We take things a little far, but you couldn’t name a place I wouldn’t go with you. A plane, a train, a car, I’d run. If I was dead I’d float.
I’d crawl in bed with you.
Even on someone else’s blood on top of someone else’s love,
In the worst motel we find.
Cause home is the last place that I’d stand to be with anyone but you.
I’d rot in hell with you,
If you’d just ask me to.
I love the shitty things we do together,
Live with me in this sin forever.
Hell and you, I know you want it too.
I hope you take the shot, see this chance.
Feel the fire, and let me have this dance with you.

Dahmer Does Hollywood

Give or take a few dudes from the bar
Take 'em home with me
This night
Is going to end horribly for someone
The tick is just talking away
I don't understand what it's trying to say
I think it says I'll drive my car like I stole it
Drink at the bar like I own it
And every dime spent
Is worth looking good, and that's Hollywood
And you know that she would
I am the son of an asshole
A drinker far too drunk to stay awake at his funeral
But that's alright, 'cause I left Milwaukee behind
For this refreshing town with this refreshing meat
Meet me down by the bar
We'll go and take this drink
Out to the stars
So come on, believe me
Follow me home
There's no judgement here
We'll laugh a little, drink a little
See what you're made of
I'm capable of making you disappear
I am the agent that decides your fate
My hometown was nice, I didn't have to think twice
About who I recruited
There wasn't any fame, no one knew my name
I was so secluded
Baptized in bloody water
I'll make you famous one way or another
So you should start to undress and just try a little less
And I'll drill in your head what you need
To be king of this goddamn city
So come on, believe me
Follow me home
There's no judgement here
We'll laugh a little, drink a little
See what you're made of
I'm capable of making you disappear
I am the agent that decides your fate

The Weight
04:03

Are you feeling upside down
Or even empty inside?
I have a couple different faces
If you need a place to hide
All the parties we can throw
We'll dress like anything we please
Or play the role of anyone
Stopped by for a drink and didn't leave
Since home is where the jar is
Open up to me
Your heart will always have a place to live
With nothing left to be
I am the weight this town is never going to lose
It's been a while since I've held anything as close I have you
They'll write about our story here for years to come
Maybe even more
'Cause there's never been a love like this before
(Never been a love)
There's never been a love like this before
(Never been a love)
On rainy days we'll drink until
The gray is left in nothing but our hair
These wrinkles are the maps of all
The places that we went no one else would dare
When your tongue is putrid
And your skin is sagging down
I'll stick around
'Cause it's what's inside that counts
I am the weight this town is never going to lose
It's been a while since I've held anything as close I have you
They'll write about our story here for years to come
Maybe even more
'Cause there's never been a love like this before
And I lost you to the fire and I would've just as well
Our friends we had as quiet as skeletons on shelves
There's nothing left to lose, 'cause I'd already lost it all
But I was wrong
Because our story carries on
I am the weight this town is never going to lose
It's been a while since I've held anything as close as I have you
They'll write about our stories here for years to come
Maybe even more
'Cause there's never been a love like this before
(Never been a love)
There's never been a love like this before
(Never been a love)
There's never been a love like this before
(Never been a love)
There's never been a love like this before
(Never been a love)

Husband
03:27

Trust me, I'm not jealous
I'm just hoping that he really messes up.
I'm not so much afraid of letting go
As much as scared of giving up.
And all the distance that we spent apart will never have to mean a thing. Cause every mile I travelled was to find the perfect stone to fit your ring.
And I, I hope your husband dies.
Living in the moment’s hard when everything I want is in the past.
Now you’re with this asshole, you expect me to believe it's going to last. But when I had you near me I just couldn’t think of anything to say.
Now that I'm alone, I’ve got the perfect things to tell you everyday.
Cause I, I hope your husband dies.
So trust me, I'm not jealous
I'm just hoping that he really fucks things up.
I'm not so much afraid of being alone
Just kind of feel I've had enough.
Time and time again, time reminds me you'll never be my own.
We'll never have a house to decorate, a place that we can call our home.
So I, I hope your husband dies.

The Dreamer
03:49

I’m so goddamn tired of whistling, “I’m so lonesome I could cry.” Your eyes they look like diamonds Still stuck inside the mines
But I’ll dig them out.
I know that you’re waiting around To find the right man, you say. The thing about taking your time, It takes it right back, someday.
No one deserves my world Quite like you do.
And it’s true,
I hate everything but you.
So tonight, I’ll follow you home,
Start up a fire that’ll keep us both warm And I’ll drag my lips up your thighs Wait till you open your eyes
When hold you real still.
Cause If I can’t have you,
Nobody will.
Winter was leaving early That chill to the bone.
I kissed you every morning As the wind whistled on, But God’s humor did too.
When you’re as happy as this,
Time starts to fly. It’s true.
I built these wings after jumping,
Not dreaming of the sky, for you.
It’s all for you.
My skin is gray too,
And I’ll lay by your side till everything is rotten through.
So tonight, we’ll celebrate life
Eat the best food and we’ll drink the best wine.
We’ll make love too, dreaming every moment of you. Your chest against mine,
My gun against your spine,
And we’ll leave the world the way dreamers do.

The Recluse
03:40

I think she came over to feel worth
More than a body in the ground
Poured her a drink to calm her nerves
But this Earth had broken her spirits down
Said, "hang around, let down your hair"
And talked about the others that were buried there
We danced and took a moonlight stroll
But that's when I wanted to be alone
So I took off the coat
Went home and kept working on my vest
She had secrets she wanted to get off her chest
I'll take the burden if you need
And I'll spill my guts if you follow my lead
'Cause I need to feel comfortable in my own skin
But I think I like the one that you're living in
So I'll cut to the chase
Just don't try to leave
‘Cause these hands are stronger than you were led to believe
It's always a drag to be on the fence
About who you are and its consequence
But God knows I'll do what I need
That's why the Devil came and sold his fucking soul to me
'Cause I need to feel comfortable in my own skin
But I think I like the one that you're living in
So I'll cut to the chase
Just don't try to leave
'Cause these hands, these hands
Are stronger than you’re led to believe
And I was afraid that the neighbors would hear her cries
But I wasn't made to feel anything that's mine

Perfect Wife
04:19

I sat down to watch the game
My wife came in, she'd found my cocaine
I tore out her eyes
Now she can't find my supplies or much else
Oh, what a perfect wife
Love of my life
She sang along to CCR
I smashed her face into the VCR
I choked her till her tongue was hanging
Then I grabbed that thing and pulled it out
Oh, what a tasteless wife
Love of my...
Don't say a word, my darling
I know how you feel
It's been years since I have looked at you this way
And if I've hurt you
Please forgive me
Love makes you do funny things
Her playing the piano
Sounded like a thirsty camel in a lake
I took her little fingers
As a souvenir of her playing
Oh, what a talented wife
Love of my life
Coming home from work one day
My wife had found a way to rig the door
Shotgun pointed towards me
Trigger pulled and my body lying on the floor
Oh, what a talented wife
And the last thing she said to me was
Don't say a word, my darling
I know how you feel
It's been years since I have looked at you this way
And if I've hurt you
Please forgive me
Love makes you do funny things

One Kind of People
05:44
|

There's only one thing in this life that makes us living
It's not the muscles or the size of your car
It's not the everlasting hope of finding purpose
Or knowing who we are
It starts with realizing death is just one moment
And in the end those two are all we really score
But I've heard you and me and the devil makes three
So Hell, oh, is it me you're looking for?
And I've never walked the line
Because I've always rather shoved it in my nose
And I drink, therefore I am
At least I think that's how the saying goes
It doesn't matter what you've heard or if you're good or bad and everything between
If you have a lot of money, if you're funny, or just fifty shades of mean
If you've studied in the Good Book or you couldn't give a damn
And you'd rather watch the movie, that's fine
Because there's one kind of people in this world
People who die
Some people follow rules
Some people go around
There's always gonna be a better high, and a lower down
There's always gonna be the person at the show
Who paid to watch the whole thing on their phone
And the only thing I know about that life I'm not about
This life is a maze with only one way out
But like a Catholic girl who turns the other cheek
To keep the virgin in her name
Or marrying for money goes to show
Where there's a will there's a way
It doesn't matter what you've burned or if you've ever been concerned about mistakes
All the bridges in the world won't lead you back to fix what couldn't be erased
If you're haggard with Merle when Katy Perry kissed a girl or you buy your shit at REI
There's only one kind of people in this world
People who die
People who die, die, die
People who die
People who die, die, die
People who die
People who die
People who die
People who die
"That's all folks"
I've been working these years for peanuts
Wondering my own impending doom
But as an elephant I'm only really relevant
When I'm standing in a room
And I'd like to live my life just like a dog
Humble as can be and unconditional in everything I love
Or maybe I could be more like a lion
Clean my teeth on all the blood and bones I kill to feed my lion child
But a lionhearted man still wants to find something he can love
Like a dog I'll roam this land
Find the bone that I've been dreaming of
And a bird can fly away
But I'd rather have reason I should stay

For a Few Good Men
03:30
|
|||
|
A man begins to walk towards the horizon
Counting up the debt that he has put himself through
Calls everyone he knows, says goodbye to friends and me and you
White little lies that were fine keep us going
Too much time in our eyes to make right
What we know is wrong
A man carves two initials into maple
Hoping they will spark up all the things he wish he'd feel
These trees have no idea what they're in for, 'cause fire feels so real
White little lies that in time they'll stop running
Too much time in our eyes to hold tight
The warmth that we need
Here's what to say to the love that you want
When they're gone
You're always wrong
The time we spent together when the light was out became my thought of you
Oh it's way too dark to read in here, this fairytale just ain't coming true
A man is lying dying on the sidewalk
Tracing down the edges of his tarnished wedding ring
The cardboard sign in front of him says
Change won't change a thing
Why even try getting by when you're hopeless
All the time passing by will never lie
It's the choice that we make
So here's what to say to the god that you trust
When it's time, there's always time
The fire that's inside me died, the only light I had left back to you
Oh it's way too cold to breath in here; I'm trying, but this body just won't do

Infamous Butcher
04:28

Under the bridge, there's a man who eats kids
And has a couple of pigeons as pets
When the trucks drive above
They rattle his home
And they rattle the bones
He collects
God bless the parents who go home crying
God bless the kids who are too young to know
That they're dying
When the night falls
Out comes the terror
And the hair on the back of your neck
Will rise
