I am a pacifist until I am a murderer
I am a peaceful man but I am still an animal a creature of this earth
and just like you I have to decide to fight or flee
but you better believe you'll get one hell of a fight from me
I'll fight for what I believe in
beyond myself and my own
On the frontlines for the battle of the evening
Fight to know the things that you dont know
I am a capitalist, not by choice, i was born in to it
I think its fucked up but ill just suck it up and go to work because
nothing's free and i gotta eat
slugs are just homeless snails and
im always on the brink of being homeless myself
nothing in this life is easy
you got fight for what you want
let go of the things that don't have meaning
and hold on tight to the ones you love
death waits around every corner
enjoy the time that you got
you may have woke up this morning
while somebody else, they did not
so let's fight for what we believe in
beyond ourselves and our own
with a little bit of solidarity
in this place that we call our home
so let's fight for what we believe in
beyond ourselves and our own
with a little bit of solidarity
in this place that we all call our home

Other Peoples Morals
02:27
|
|||
watch your feet get swallowed up by mud
soon you will become the ground
breathe the earth into your lungs
forever ever slowly sinking down
you only begin to realize
the moment you're up to your neck
you'll flail and kick and curse and scream
grasping for what little time that you have left
why?
other peoples morals
soon become someone else's problems
you say that you're sick of it all
while everyone watches you fall
you'll sink and sink deeper in drink
screaming that this is all their fault
this is just the way it is
there is no changing this shit
spent year after year digging this hole
you might as well lay down in it
why?
other peoples morals
become someone else's problems
why?
other peoples morals
soon become someone else's problems

Creatures
02:15

We all hear the end is near, more likely we're just out of beer,
and if we're not and if it is that's fine
aint got no gas, go broke so fast, ate up the foodstamps, drank the cash,
i keep finding and losing my mind
every day can't be the same, if it could then there wouldn't be today
even if it can i'll keep on doing what i am, and everything will be okay
every so often i start to think, about how I get caught up in all these meaningless things
for a little while i probably will not drink but on average that only usually lasts about a week
we fought for our right to party, we put our time in at the bar,
i'm starting to think that what we're really fighting is ourselves and the creatures that we are
sometimes i write songs and i'm not sure what they're about,
that feeling that you get when something means so much to you,
singing, playing, writing songs is all I want to do
I wanna sing write and play songs with you, in all the places that we'll travel to,
If we dare to have dreams we can achieve anything and there’s nothing that we can’t do (x2)

Wolf Moon
03:02

There's a diamond in the wolves tonight
i haven't seen it but i've felt it's shimmering light
and if the moon should decide to go total lunar eclipse
blood red cascadian skyline, remember the silvertips
bloodlines running deep much deeper than 1990
cold wet grey clay rests in crumbles all around me
and in the absense of the light
we are now surrounded by white foam
i'm prepared for whatever's comin and i'm ready to let go

Song With All The Words
02:07
|

The window is open and i'm feeling broken
they told me to jump but it's not high enough
prehistoric mastodon been down for way to long
time to eat something, time to be someone
theres answers that I seek and they're not growing in my back yard
the questions that I'm asking you'll have to disregard
there's places that I'm goin and theres places that I've been
I've got so much to do that I'll never sleep again
I've got so much to do that I'll never sleep again
Come explore the cosmic creepins of the universe
hold my hand, your breath, step off the edge and fall back down to earth
when the day comes that you get here i'll say take a look around
welcome to my spectacle now lets burn it to the ground
then rising from the ashes morning always seems to come
another day times slipped away, my work is never done
i've rediscovered my true power source, time travel bittersweet
i said i'd sleep when i am dead but now its time to eat
i said i'd sleep when i am dead but now its time to eat
I've got hex marks on my coffee pot and devils in my brain
i sold my soul for rock and roll i didnt need it anyway
theres a billion things inside this world that i'd still like to see
just gotta make it through this day spirits let me be
the window's still open, i'm still feeling broken
the pavements to close and i laugh like a joke
incognitio alias you wont remember this
but you'll all remember when this kid slips
it may not be to earth but somewhere i'm on my way
it's hard to admit it but it's good to be alive today
might walk right through the sidewalk, consciousness supersedes
i said i'd sleep when i am dead but it's still not time to sleep

Hell In A Handbasket
02:32
|
|||
There is a town a little east of here
there everyone is dying and the dead they show no fear
we've all been casting curses but we've only cursed ourselves
waiting for heaven when we're already in hell
holdin out for heaven but we're already in hell
I poured the highschool principal a beer glass full of flies
i squeezed a little lime in it he didnt seem to mind
on the hunt for new alternative ways to kill my time
some are much more dangerous than others that i find
some are much more dangerous than others that i find
Sitting, drinkin, thinkin at odds with my own mind
the bullshit keeps on adding up then starts to multiply
nothing really matters as the years they pass us by
the only truth to be told is that someday we all die
the only truth in this world is that one day we'll all die
Nonsense transitioning from night to day
drunken words of wisdom being screamed into my face
listening to every goddamn thing you’ve ever had to say
Pour hell in to a handbasket and drink it all away
Pour hell in to a handbasket and drink it all away
Pour hell in to a handbasket and drink it all away
Pour hell in to a handbasket and drink it all away

It doesn't mean you're livin just because you are alive
And everyone you've ever known including you will die
And if there is one truth I have come to realize
It's that nobody in this life ever makes it out alive
I like the night much more than the day
I can't sleep at night cuz life keeps me awake
I like the night much more than the day
I can't sleep at night cuz life keeps me awake
I spend my days doing things I don't want to
so that i can spend my nights doing the things I want to do
Sometimes it does not always seem to work this way
but somehow I still manage to get out of bed each day
If I am still up and the sun rises before me
then I won't have to ask if tomorrow will you love me
And I will have to set fire to all the songs im writing
For my guitar and voice don't work when the sun is shining
I like the night much more than the day
I can't sleep at night cuz life keeps me awake
I like the night much more than the day
I can't sleep at night cuz life keeps me awake
falling asleep is accepting defeat
they can have the dawn to dusk but the dark is mine to keep
i've said it before and i'll say it again
i'm headed somewhere and i'll sleep when i'm dead
I'll waste every day in exchange for every night
The sun it burns my eyes and I'm home in pale moon light
The world is a much more magical place
when the darkness surrounds us and the sun goes away
The world is a much more magical place
when the darkness surrounds us and the sun goes away

Friends (You Matter)
03:57
|

Some of my best friends, they party sober
some of my best friends time travel daily blackout drunk
but that's okay with me
we'll all do our own things
so fuck you fuck cops and up the Punx
fuck jobs fuck laws and up the punks
I want to circuit bend more keyboards
I want to stay up late singing songs that don't make sense
I'll drink all the coffee you can smoke all the cigarettes
I want to hang out with my friends
I want to hang out with my friends
I worry about my friends
I hope that they know that I love them even if I don't talk to them
if it's the middle of the night and you're drunk and need a ride
or you’re running from the cops again
don't hesitate to call me up I'll help any way that I can
I don't care if it's been 10 years since the last time that we talked
we all get caught up in our own shit but we can pick up where we left off
We can do it ourselves but we're all in this together
we been doin it ourselves but we're all in this together
we can do it by ourselves but we’re all in this together
We can do it ourselves all we want but we’re all in this shit together
I hate having to have money to exist
and I'm sick of its direct correlation to our happiness
wasting away every goddamm day 40 plus hours a week
Counting pennies till the end of the month still need foodstamps to eat
If your down on your luck and your livin in your car and you need a safe place to park
I've been there before and we've got room on our floor and even more room in our hearts.
because
You matter you matter you matter you matter to me (x100)
