Eastland 05:37
looking around, i wonder where i go looking around, i wonder where i go without you without you searching around, i wonder where i go searching around, i wonder where i go without you without you never thought i'd come up screaming and bleeding from my lungs we were drowning in the city, looking for the sky we found the fire before we found the light floating down floating around won't someone lend a hand? we're the people of the eastland a simple little chicago summer day we shipped out, the kids were dying just to play we made them wait we made them wait now dried roses from valentine's day are white roses that lay down on their graves we should have stayed we should have stayed never thought i'd come up screaming and bleeding from my lungs we were drowning in the city, looking for the sky we found the fire before we found the light floating down floating around would someone lend a hand? we're the people of the eastland

we chase the wave until it breaks into a dorsal fin a killer whale from beyond the pale who can tow us in our shaky hides our faces flecked by foam wives on the docks but we're not coming home we're not coming home there were some nasty little thoughts about a nail pick

when i was 16 or somewhere in my sophomore year i started smoking cigarettes, baby i was drinking beer i had my life plan sussed, knew what i was gonna do bought a gun and decided to end it over you well my pa, he loved me so much, he bailed me out of jail so i could lift 100 dollars off of him, had a plan that couldn’t fail drove down from carolina to georgia for the night felt more out of place there, I’ll never get it right the places where you offered me your hand father, I should have taken it then 26 years old and abusive to my wife i remember high school, yeah I think that I turned out alright got a tattoo on my bed in memory of my mother 'cause living a better life was too much of a bother the places where you offered me your hand mother, I should have taken it then 36 years old and dying of some strange disease i wrote to my brothers, hoping they would come and visit me nobody ever came except for when they put me in the ground i died an old ugly man, alone and sad without a friend around the places where you offered me your hand brothers, I should have taken it then the places where you offered me your hand are the only places I’ll regret

don’t rattle that cage now, don’t rattles those bones don’t make those skeletal sounds, they’ll know you’re home you better learn your lessons, you better pay some heed you were never the one that we wanted, but you might be the one we need shake off those fears doll, shake off that blood but never shake the feeling that the minute you’re alone they’re gonna get you, they’re gonna win if you let your guard down, you’re gonna let them in never look behind, never look ahead all these friends around you, they're already dead gotta use your cunning, use your thoughts you better keep running, you better not stop can’t think of your family or think of the past they’re clawing at your heels, they’re starting to mass they're breaking through the wood, they're looking at me if i ever had a chance, if i ever want to leave they're tearing through the bikers, tearing through the mall we’re killing each other, killing them all! gotta take to the ceiling, take all of the guns the elevator’s taken; am i the only one? they’ve made it to the hallway, made it to the door put a gun to your head, couldn’t do that before now they're chomping at the bits, and I’m starting to bleed i try to pull the trigger, try to do what i... you done rattled that cage now, you been rattling bones you keep making those skeletal sounds, now you feel at home

The Thinny 04:37
gather 'round this fire now gather 'round, i wot he’ll return don’t ask your questions don’t be troubled, don’t be concerned push it down, hold back, don’t tease a smile she whispers a word, and you will stay a while keep your patience, keep your tongue the old cat winks, and the rose, it starts to bud but if you wanna stay with me you better not close your eyes wade out into the thinny where there ain't no reason or rhyme sounds like it’s coming alive sounds like it’s trying to sing a song ears stuffed with shells, we’ll cross the town drown it out, our world will be along but if you wanna stay with me you better not close your eyes wade out into the thinny where there ain't no reason or rhyme

capsule crashing through the atmosphere what do we do now? tumbles through pink scar of jungle what do we do now? before his face starts greening before the trees start screaming 1, 2, 3, 4 green sticks on the forest floor the captain needs a funeral pyre before the moon goes out can anybody build a fire? someone show me how before his face starts greening before the kids start screaming 1, 2, 3, 4 green sticks on the forest floor capsule crashing through the atmosphere what do we do now? capsule crashing through the atmosphere what do we do now? capsule crashing through the atmosphere what do we do now? tumbles through pink scar of jungle what do we do now? before his face starts greening before the kids start screaming 1, 2, 3, 4 green sticks on the forest floor

he sits on the edge of the bed, holding her hand whispers everything is gonna be alright she sighs deep, hangs up the phone, composes herself, the kids are home guess she’ll have to speak to them tonight and it was hard enough to hear those words have them heard take them in... disowned and thrown to the side of the road, where he’s most comfortable even here he’s never really alone he goes clubbing every night, she’s singing his song, but she’s not singing to him you have become what you fear the most and it was hard enough to hear those words have them heard take them in take his hand, hold on, you know you are alone in this room and you are safe now you are safe now with me take his hand, hold on, you know it’s only us in this room you are safe now, you are safe now with me strange we never thought of what we really had sad now that it’s lost we can’t ever feel that pain someone said if you can never let it go know it wasn’t something that you ever really loved when’s it ever done? he’s got a plan to end his life, but something stays his hand every night could it be the fear now of her ghost? 'cause it was hard enough to hear those words have them heard take them in take his hand, hold on, you know it’s only us in this room now, and you are safe now you are safe now with me take his hand, hold on, it’s only us, doll, in this room and you are safe now you are safe now with me

To The Death 03:47
we believed that we could love almost anyone, our hearts an open book our lives so complicated from the lies and all the secrets they had overlooked considered destinations that we'd travel to when we got up the nerve to leave the promise of the simplest touch our hearts raced to the death we wore them on our sleeves why are you still coming? why are you still here? i try, but fail to stop it your love i'll always fear i know your love's for anyone but darling, you're the only one i want to read throwing caution to the wind we held each other's hearts each in a time of need prayed for peace of mind on your behalf although i knew it then that you'd conceive a life beyond our borders growing stronger on the shoulders of an old belief i try, but fail to stop it your love i'll always fear i know your love's for anyone but darling, you're the only one i want to read

Blood Waltz 03:48
i've seen the violence in your eyes i've touched the fire that you breathe at night i feel you deep within my bones ooh, unsafe in the marrow i know there are pieces of me left under your fingernails i still have the scars out on display i've dreamt every nightmare of you i have found my center i can feel the blood course through my veins you saw the wretchedness in me you brought it to the surface, made me bleed you've purged me from your weary bones but you can't wash your hands of my poor soul i know there are pieces of me left under your fingernails i still have the scars out on display i've dreamt every nightmare of you i have found my center i can feel the blood course through my veins stay in time now (i have seen the violence) keep it steady (i have touched the fire) this waltz will never end (i feel you deep within) close your eyes (i have seen the violence) tell yourself it feels (i have touched the fire) so good to pretend (i feel you deep within)
