Enter The Ghost Woods
03:38

Well home is all that I need
And I've been searching for so long, but it's been right beneath my feet
And ghosts are all that I see
But they can see me here as well and they're all begging me to leave
I spend most of my time down in the weeds
Digging to find something, singing "let the bodies be"
And I hope that you will believe
All the bullshit I've been talking about spirits in the trees and out in the woods.
All those whispers you hear in the wind
Are just the ghosts out there trying to call you in
But that bark, those trees, those leaves don't sing no songs
Just dead mans bones.

The Devil And His Fire

"whispers"
Well I swore we'd find a way
Said ain't gonna be nobody dying today
Not here on my watch, and I've been trying to say
That we're in too deep and it's far too late
But I know just way too much well...
You know me for the good goddamn that I am
And I'll be fine and find my way to hell
And find my way out as well
I got the devil in me and you know that you just got his fire
"whispers"
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got the whole wide world right in his hands
So let the storms rage, we're counting down the end of days
(Oh my god it's all coming to an end)
Cause I know just way too much well...
You know me for the good goddamn that I am
But I'll be fine and find my way to hell
And find my way out as well
I got the devil in me, you know, you know you just got his fire
Cause I swore we'd find a way
Said ain't gonna be nobody dying today
Not here on my watch, and I've been trying to say
That we're in too deep and it's far too late but...
I don't know too much at all
But I know all we do is fall

Thirsty For Blood
03:23
|
|||
All the folks in this town are machines
And they don't mean all that much to me
Keep your head up, your chin up and your door shut
Everyone out there is thirsty for blood
And they're the ones who made all the traps that you're caught in
And it's hard to forgive when you've been forgotten
So pack up your bags, stash your hearts in your backpack
So no one can find them or rip them to shreds
And they're the ones who made all the traps that you're caught in
And it's hard to forgive when you've been forgotten
Keep your mouth shut and watch out where you stand
Keep to yourself, do the best you can
Cause darling 'round here the law of the land
Is shoot first and then ask to see both their hands
Once they're dead
So let's hit the road, find out just where it goes
Maybe back home or somewhere we don't know yet
And I'll be the first carving tracks through the snow
Leaving lights on so you know just which way to go
To get home
Keep your head up, your chin up and your door shut
Everyone out there is thirsty for blood

Burn The Witch
04:45
|

Ohh the preacher said that I was doomed
He said I'd gone and bitten off so much more than I could chew
I said--"yea but I ain't got nothing to lose"
I've lost it all and seen the worst and there ain't nothing left to prove
He said--"yea but you still have the time to choose"
You can break the bread and drink the blood so whatcha gonna do?
And I swear he almost jumped right out of his shoes
When I said that I've been to hell and back and now I ain't afraid of you
So let the fires come
And turn their bodies into dust
Goddamn you just can't trust anyone at all
And then you'll see, you'll be the one
Who's looking for a cross to bare
A crown of thorns that you can wear
But all that weight and all them holes will leave you dead
Ohh the congregation gathered 'round
Eyes wide in disbelief at all the horrors they had found
And they dragged this monster out into the streets
"To hell with this demon, let him burn" they all screamed
And they said I must atone for my sins
They lit the fire and said their prayers and they tossed my body in
But as I burned I looked out laughing at them all
I said--"you folks ain't seen the last of me"
I'll watch the whole world fall
So let the fires come
And turn their bodies into dust
Goddamn you just can't trust anyone at all
And then you'll see, you'll be the one
Who's looking for a cross to bare
A crown of thorns that you can wear
But all that weight and all them holes will leave you dead
Burn the witch if you want
Our wicked ways deserve the stake for sure
Make that fire if you want
I'll help you light it, lay my life down for the cause
(Cause you know that I'll be back for you)
So let the fires come
And turn their bodies into dust
Goddamn you just can't trust anyone at all
And then you'll see, you'll be the one
Who's looking for a cross to bare
A crown of thorns that you can wear
But all that weight and all them holes will leave you dead

Hide the petals underneath the bedroom floorboards
They will wither without fail or success
Put the people in the hollow box they've crafted
Bolt the doors and watch them perish
It's a cautious decent, so polite and pensive at first
But the only truth is change, have patience
Every hundredth year, a single breath and then it's over
Even only for a minute, for a minute it's over
For a minute, for a minute it's over
For a minute, for a minute it's over
So brave in the face of all those roots that ruin
To stand so tall when in fact in ruins
So brave in the face of all those roots that ruin
To stand so tall when in fact in ruins
To face that corner of the box and dive in
Just the sound alone of its humble breath
To face that corner of the box and dive in
Just the sound alone of its humble breath
A murmur echos softly from the ruins as the roots undo
And the branch becomes...

Black Magik

I found out myself the world's as dark as they said
And that once it goes bad, it's as bad as it gets
After playing the parts out over in my head
I found it would be better to just lay down instead
On the night I spit those curses right down by the river
At least we'll be fine or we'll die here together
And you'll be the one making sure I get better
After all the times that we've lied to each other
Somebody save me, I think I've gone crazy
I'm too close to the edge screaming--jump and just maybe
I'll fly, catch the wind like and exhale from you
Cause I'm damned if I don't and goddamned if I do
And I've died more than I've been alive in this life
Check for signs of the exit wound scars on my side
I'm alright
Cause all I know is that I've been told
That we'll all grow up, get old and die
And all I know is that I've been told
That you'll never live if you don't try
And all I know is that I've been told
That we'll all grow up, get old and die
And all I know is that I've been told
That you'll never find the truth in life
So don't lie about it now
Just like you got it figured out
Cause if you do then send it down
Or lend and hand or send some help
Because goddamn I'm falling now
And all my luck's done been run out
And I could use some better news
A different tune or something else
And all I know is that I've been told
That the world don't spin and waters ain't cold
And the grass ain't green and the folks ain't seen
No sign of you or me or no one else
But they all got the same shit to sell
And the same old stories left to tell
But I'll be damned if I don't go and find it all out just for myself.

Last Thing I Feel
03:32
|
|||
When they catch me
I'm going to laugh and show off my teeth
And bare 'em proud because I'll be
Happy at the fact--now that I'm free
And finally get the chance to get some rest
Cause I know that they're coming
And I'm so tired of running
I hope it hurts like hell
I want to feel it all when I go out
So don't cut me no slack
I hope it's not much to ask
But if it's the last thing I feel
I want to make sure I feel it all
(Goodbye, so-long, see you all around)
Well you know there's something coming that I can't see
And when it does finally catch up to me
I'm going to give him hell, let him know how it feels
To feel it all and all ends all well
Cause I know that they're coming
And I'm so tired of running
And I hope it hurts like hell
I want to feel it all when I go out
So don't cut me no slack
I hope it's not much to ask
But if it's the last thing I feel
I want to make sure I feel it all
So I'll hope and I'll pray
That I'll see another day
But if I die before I wake
I hope, I hope that it doesn't hurt

Into The Dirt
03:31
|
|||
I watched you fall
Along with all the pretty things we owned
As the walls all got repainted
The whole house redecorated
Watched you cry the night I was leaving
Pray to a god that you didn't believe in
And I tried to take your hand
And let you know that I didn't feel it
Saw you tossing and turning
In a bed that we both shared
And then take on all the weight
Of all the burdens that we bared
I watched put me in that box
And then place me into the ground
I watched you try to say goodbye
As if you hadn't until now
And I sank into the dirt
And you never said a word
Again
I heard the phone ring off the hook
I saw you pull it from the wall
As all your closest friends and family
Thought it best that they should call
I saw the visits come to an end
And everybody just disappear
As I sat silent in our living room
Just wishing that you could hear
When I say...
That I'm still here with you
And I'll never let you go
Again
I saw you slowly giving up
And pull the gun out of my belt
And then take your favorite picture
And I wished that I could help
As you sat there in our kitchen
And you put it to your head
And then you smiled and pulled the trigger
And you laughed as you said...
That I'm finally here with you
And I'll never let you go
Again

Empty Graves
03:47

I'm laying in the front yard starring up
Howling at the moon just like you were here too
But I know you're gone
It's been so long since I've seen you and I've been
Digging up the backyard
Picking out bones that match the details of the deal
That I'm trying to make
I just hope I'm not too late and I've been...
I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
Like "how'd I fuck this up and just let you go"
If I'd have known
That was the last time I'd say your name then I'd have been
Tearing down the frame of the house
Just to get out and fight right by your side
We'd have gave 'em hell
Even if I lost my life as well we would have
Gone out swinging and swearing
And kicking up the goddamn dust and all
But I just laid there
And listened to the sound of your screams
And I wish I was with you
And I still think about you
And I wish I was with you
And I still think about you
And goddamn it, I miss you
And I still think about you
I'm so sorry I missed you
But I still think about you
Cause there was a man and all he ever wanted was to just be free
But when he finally got it, he did not know who to be
So he ran and he ran until the forest he had reached
And then he spent is days among the ghosts that lived inside the trees
And he said...
Just like lights to the flies and the birds and the bats
Just like old, dying dogs, we're singing songs about the land
Cause there was a man and all he ever wanted was to just come home
And when he finally did, he found that he was not alone
Unlike the days and the nights he spent with ghosts out on his own
As they sang their pretty songs into the brittle of his bones
We're howling all night long just as loud as we can
We're howling all night long just as loud as we can

We will ride into the wind
Through the forest searching for a place to settle in
And we will try to make it fit
Even when the wood all dies and dries up, make our homes out of it
We will find something to hold
Something we can call all our own until we're all just dead and gone
And the line between the pavement and the pines, it grows thin
Until there's nowhere left for us to run and hide
So we'll climb to the top of every building that's in sight
To try and bridge the gap between the Earth and sky
If we had wings we'd fly, forever towards the setting sun
The Earth calling below saying--"god what have you done"
And all you know
The city limits are just made up they're for show you know?
And this sadness and this traffic is our
Homes you know
The city limits are just made up they're a joke you know?
And this hatred and these headaches are our
Homes you know
The city limits are just made up they're a hoax you know?
And this laughter and this rapture is our
Homes you know
The city limits are just made up so you can't go
Out to find your way through sticks and
Stones you know
The city limits are just made up they're for show you know?
As the concrete starts to crumble beneath our
Homes you know
The city limits are just made up so you can't go
Out and find your way on your own
