    Lyrics
    cold broken recidivous
    just wish it ain't the sum of us
    sitting here, you're sitting near
    speaking sounds weak to both of us
    
    beat it up bloody till it won't talk back
    lay it down dead in it's tracks
    love breaks your rules and choses fools to carry on your back
    --
    cat scratching at the front door
    who's that beating on the headboard
    who's that screaming at the photo of us together lord?
    can't you do better
    --
    i thought i blew the wind of change
    from my lips to yours, smiling sin again
    but hope spells death for another kiss i'd left in the wake of pain
    
    we couldn't parry the scent of this
    blinded by so many silences
    caught over the cold coals of dry lust and twisted cynicists

    a song about a jealous ex

    Lyrics
    when it's time to go
    leave your bag by the door
    don't call your family no more
    forget all your friends
    forget what you lend
    steal what you spend
    
    running from the face in your home
    running from the eye of the storm
    running to be all on your own
    
    running from the boss in your face
    running from your broken home base
    running to get out of this place
    
    forget all your sins
    forget what you've been
    start all over again
    find a new name
    find someone to blame
    cause it's all just a game
    
     you're a runaway in this city
    you're a runaway
    
    GO GO GO GO

    living on the streets

    Lyrics
    soft in the night
    she smiled at my light
    closing the door on my flight forever
    
    i walk alone smelling the dead
    check my phone for the sign of a friend
    she took me home with a nod of her head
    she held me close and together we bled
    
    mincing no words
    my feelings still hurt
    buried in the past together
     -
    mud honey for your soul
    don't get your heart burnt besides these coals
    mud honey for your head
    don't get your fingers dirty under the bed
    ...
    i walk alone smelling the dead
    check my phone for the sign of a friend
    she took me home with a nod of her head
    i held her close and together we bled
    
    couldn't relate
    we're cursing our fate
    alone but together
    
    it's no better
    to hold on to pain
    then laugh at the rain and drown in the river
    
    mud honey for your soul
    don't get your heart burnt besides these coals
    mud honey for your head
    don't get your fingers dirty under the bed

    mudhoney is the sweetness of a one night stand

    Lyrics
    don't stop and start my love
    don't quit when things get tough
    we're both taking a chance, might build this house here on sand
    but don't struggle with saving your bluff
    i want to give this a try
    won't let the silence decide
    but you better be brave
    be brave to let your heart free to fly
    --
    don't leave me out in the cold
    you're the woman i hold
    i can't be only a friend
    i wouldn't come back again
    
    don't whisper to all of your friends
    don't give all your gifts just to spend
    we're both taking a chance, to spill our blood in romance
    don't hold on to what you can't mend
    i want to give this a try
    won't let the silence decide
    but you better be brave
    be brave to let your heart free to fly
    --
    don't leave me out in the cold
    you're the woman i hold
    i can't be only a friend
    i wouldn't come back again
    …
    we're both running around, won't put our feet on the ground
    don't stop and start our love

    relationships sometimes stop and start

    Lyrics
    sleeping on the seeds of myself
    smothering the story
    smoke to sweeten my hell
    addicted to the noise
    --
    in my head
    from the poison
    --
    i've been sinking a long way down
    got this demon to please
    i love the vapor that blinds my sound
    brings my life to its knees
    ---
    senseless from the circles i run
    within a void
    lost between the fear and my sun
    confused by all the noise
    in my head
    from the poison...
    
    they say who you are is what you think you are, so what are you if you are what you think you are? if you think you are what you think you are then you are that thought. the very idea that you are something you thought is also another thought. so don't think you are and what you are as a thought will dissolve and you will be what you really are, but you won't know what that is until what you think you are stops thinking...STOP

    a song about addiction

  6. 6ConspiracySky Cooper guitar, vocals · Andrew Dickson drums · Shaun Smith bass2:10
    Lyrics
    do you need to seek conspiracy?
    government hijacks planes to shoot guns across the sea
    cold war spy trades and secret men who hold the key
    ET brought the microwave, man on the moon in chroma key
    
    do you believe in conspiracy
    do you believe in conspiracy
    like a higher power destroying what is free
    do you believe in conspiracy
    
    don’t start digging
    destroy your iPhone dependency
    google cracked your facebook, new microchips inside your teeth
    for all the foul things that we do i need to know it ain’t me
    take away our obligations we need conspiracy
    
    do you believe in conspiracy
    do you believe in conspiracy
    like a higher power destroying what is free
    do you believe in conspiracy
    
    i know there’s some evil trying to capture what is free
    stand together with each other

    some people love them

  7. 7Make My WaySky Cooper guitar, vocals3:23
    Lyrics
    uncertain cold but make my way
    I couldn’t stop the laughing
    universal harmony
    i still struggle on the landing
    
    black dog caught my face
    by another name and place
    couldn’t find my hand to hold his own
    cold as stone
    couldn’t move my heart to waste..
    
    I heal all my broken bones
    couldn’t stop my skull from smashing
    when i sailed away from home
    couldn’t hold the waves from happening
    
    a black dog saw my face
    in a different time and place
    couldn’t steal my soul
    away from climbing
    off this island
    couldn’t drag my heart from grace

    A black dog, a sailing away from home, and broken bones healing on the landing.
