Got Some Blood on My Shirt 09:06
lyrics
Born where the river runs out Down where there's nothing left Your name is what you sign on a check Your faith is what you keep to yourself I walked all over Ohio I got a hole in my shoe There wasn't nothing else That we could do I broke the bank in Chicago I hit a man in the third Is there a lesson there That I should have learned? I grabbed a gun in St. Louis And I got some blood on my shirt Now there ain't nobody else To hurt I lost my name in Lewiston Now everyone wonders who Is that man With nothing left to lose I found Jesus in Denver The father said He'd been waiting for me He said, "Even this far down a tunnel There's a light you never see." Was never famous in Arkansas My jacket spelled bad news The record played on both sides I never got to choose I met some girls in Miami They knew how to spend the time They were pretty And they never spoke out of line The celebration inside my heart With desperation and song I fought my way to the morning light Because the nights were so long

Carly Anchovy 07:29
lyrics
Stay here now and forever Count a decide of passing years There's nothing here to hold on to A series of hurdles, unending fears Break through the clouds and there is light If you can catch the wind and fly into the sky Feel free to spread your wings and leave the yard I know if you could run that you would travel far There you are, fast asleep Go wake yourself, get on you feet

Robin's Egg 07:58
lyrics
To Jasmine, to celebrate the start A pillow, a peppermint, and a card In pieces, rubber-banded art And someone laid a robin's egg in my heart Six million, six hundred thousand words With definitions no one ever learned The sentence will slip and fall apart And someone laid a robin's egg in my heart A gunmetal, pressure-dented lock On a book of words so appropriate and soft The key fits in the middle of the lock And someone laid a robin's egg in my heart Someone laid a robin's egg in my heart Someone laid a robin's egg in my heart Someone laid a robin's egg in my heart Someone laid a robin's egg in my heart

Freeing Feeling 05:06
lyrics
From here I can see stars Lifting through the dark Countless flying souls Returning to their homes When my time is closing in And I am breathing my last breath I'll be looking toward the light At the people that have left Will you be there? The universe beneath our feet Playing hide and seek with the living Will you be there? It's all I've ever wanted Secrets of the world And the questions that plague us And revealed to you spirit Once was broken now is mending Here and now, there and here we can see Everything we want, we are free There's a joy that can be found If we leave our bodies now

I'm Cured! 04:27
lyrics
A ballerina on a fire escape So gracefully enters the pearly gates You are a lucky one Untied to these earthly bonds The orchestral pit under the heavy lights Where the oboes sit an apple lands tonight You are a lucky one Untied to these earthly bonds On a serving tray flavored with crème de menthe You eat a bad sorbet, you don't have time to sit You are a lucky one Untied to these earthly bonds But when my morning comes I'll gather all my hopes When I see a couple kiss I pray to God they choke And in a diver's bell Noting the lowest things Above the storm played hell And the boat had to leave You are a lucky one Untied to these earthly bonds And I'll float away

Dust 09:15
lyrics
Black out the shades of the window and hide Burn all the cash in your mattress, it'll be alright When you bury your guns in the snow You bury your luck in the snow Don't believe in favors that are free Don't believe in kindness you can't see Pull out the phone from the wall Knock out the lights in the hall When you bury your guns in the snow You bury your luck in the snow Don't believe in favors that are free Don't believe in kindness you can't see Bury your dust in the snow

Rental History 07:32
lyrics
Every house in this town is haunted Every ghost will get just what it wanted when Every bathtub in this town is flooded and We are washed out to the sea His dearest love lives in the room above him He couldn't sleep for fear she did not love him Every night he lay awake Afraid his lonely heart would break Take this bottle fill it full of histories Tragic accounts of wandering and misery And when the boat takes you from me Our curse will float out to the sea Every house in this town is covered with Dust and paint and bottles broken over like Scars and marks of a restless tenant who was Never sure where to be A rental history written out in street signs Laundry lists and personal phone lines We gain a habit every day Our bodies demand to have their way Take this bottle fill it full of histories Tragic accounts of wandering and misery And when the boat takes you from me Our curse will float out to the sea Every house in this town is shuttered We packed and left the day that we discovered that Every couple in this town got wasted and They all misplaced their keys Every morning with a scarf of roses the Couples work their way through foolish poses They found they hadn't much to say By the light of brightest day Take this bottle fill it full of histories Tragic accounts of wandering and misery And when the boat takes you from me Our curse will float out to the sea
