Magnolia 03:05
Slow walk through the riverbed Magnolia lookin' dead Slow walk down the riverbed Magnolia lookin' dead Bottle up a little blow Suck it up and watch it go And watch it go and watch it go away Slow walk in the dead of night Discount fuck if you'd like Fair warning, there's a missing piece That works, it's fine by me We'll take the trees

Skeletons with breaking bones Hold me together at the joints Walk me until we find the code To break it along this broken road I want you to know as I'm all bone The pieces will fall until I shut my mouth Skeletons with breaking bones Hold me together at the joints Walk me until we find the code To break it along this broken road Skeletons with breaking bones Hold me together at the joints Walk me until we find the code To break it along this broken road I want you to know as I'm all bone The pieces will fall until I shut my mouth

The End. 04:38
Baptized in Christ'll save you from your demise Perfect and pretty, honey, you're compromised Helen is burning, baby, dying for love No fraternizing with a bullet and a gun Stepping toward the middle You're gonna burn You're gonna burn You're gonna cook in the core Fixed on solved riddles you'll never learn You'll never learn You'll never learn Hungry for more to get you bigger than now Must have the money as you're crawling back out Swim through the river, honey, endless and deep With ghosts from your past you thought you'd never meet again Stepping toward the middle You're gonna burn You're gonna burn You're gonna cook in the core Fixed on solved riddles you'll never learn You'll never learn You'll never learn Trapped in a tomb, licked by flames Bodies of sodom and shame Here come the Hellhounds again Bodies of sexualized men You know the secrets to why you have come Here to the end past the deaf and the dumb

Look At Me! 01:42
If someone told me two years back That I'd be the one who'd gone off track I think I'd have had a little laugh But look at me now Look at me now Look at me now Look at me now Look at me now

You know how there's always that one character On the show that you watch As you're curled up in bed And they die at the end of the last episode Because they have come to the end of their road And the makers don't want them around anymore So they give them a story that's doomed from the start And you watch as this person you've grown up to love Has no clue what they're in for The last thing they say is, "I love you" To someone they've always had hate for To tug at your heartstrings and bring in the paper That's me Where I'm at on my road Gone off track Months behind on the rent It's my time to be written off of the show But please let me go away for a stay on an island I don't know Just don't kill me off There's a story for me in seasons to come Just don't kill me off Don't kill me off Just don't kill me off Don't kill me off Don't kill me off Just don't kill me off Don't kill me off Don't kill me off

This year is gonna be different I have you and you're all that I need And I might want one little present I want forever, it's all that I need And I might want one little present I want forever, it's all that I need This year is gonna be different Me and you and that's all that we need

I came home to a letter with my name Emptied out and fell into the ground Knew I might not ever see your face Punched the walls and screamed in all my pain I was a journey far away One more night to hold you in my arms Didn't get what I wanted and I here And the bed, we shared alone my pain Come home, come home, come home Come home, come home Come home, come home, come home Come home, come home We were meant for skeletons All entwined, our ribs, our blood and jaws Love is cruel and left our bone on rocks Picked away by time until we rot
8.
It's the last time I'll walk up these awful red stairs To a prison that's concrete and bare It's the last time I'll hold a magnet to the door And hear the locks that tell me I'm there But I'll miss coming home to your arms And the smoking and fashion and weed Won't be locked in 2013 And I'll miss what we had here I'll remember that potato and turkey dinner That I thought was so sweet and just right And the way that we laughed at that bitch down the hall When she couldn't get anything right But I'll miss every bit of your charm And the wine bottle blowin' up And your alarms But darlin', I swear If one memory I'll hold It's we made out fine And some great fucks were had here

Bethesda 03:18
Be sure you say, "Hey," to Bethesda Be sure you stay safe in the streets Don't forget about me over here by the sea Be sure you stay warm without me You've gotta stop springing things on me I am only so strong without you here with me I will try to save for adventure I will try to stay strong for you Won't forget about you over there by the sea I'll try hard to stay warm without you You've gotta stop springing things on me I am only so strong without you here with me

Not 4 Sale 01:29
So you can leave me on the corner where you found me I'm not for sale anymore You can leave me on the corner where you found me I'm not for sale anymore You can leave me on the corner where you found me I'm not for sale anymore You can leave me on the corner where you found me I'm not for sale anymore

You ask me why I'm sad You ask why I'm so bitter You ask me why I have naught but black All through my pictures But I was born under a new moon months too soon I was scared I'm sure Born in the dark, in the cold Tell me, are you scared to die? Oh, why would I? Tell me where it all went wrong You're asking the wrong one How would I know? I came in too soon
12.
Cold and Dry 03:40
You left without a word, dad You left her cold and dry, dad And now I can't love you no more And now I don't fear you no more And now when you're at my front door I'll leave you cold and dry Your fist is out of line, dad You've always been bigger than I am You left without a word, dad You left her cold and dry, dad And now I can't love you no more And now I don't fear you no more And now when you're at my front door I'll leave you cold and dry Can't love you no more Don't fear you no more When you're at my front door I'll leave you cold and dry

RUN!! 03:15
On the road, baby Skeletons and skin It's a dark night with a warm wind There's a hunchback, honey Grab the gun and run Kill the new ones and we'll coat our lungs On the run, darlin' Feel your hand tense now They will trace the smell and track us down There's a wind, honey Find the tall one Hide behind before we make our run Run! Run! On the road, baby Skeletons and skin It's a dark night with a warm wind RUN!! RUN!!

I'm the rebel of the group, so I can smoke out here Why don't you go up? Oh, I like that, it's very disjointed I like it, Jared

Come Home 02:45
Oh daddy, buy me a man I've been bad, bad, so bad Don't fly the milky way We already outer space It's an early spring again My leaves are wilted and dead You rake 'em cross the grave My name is written You pray, "I'm here, baby You know I had fun with you though Now I'm travelin' alone I'm here, baby, come home." Oh daddy, buy me a man I've been bad, bad, so bad
