When you call me on the phone I just wanna go get stoned to forget everything that you've said When I'm finally alone I'll pretend that I'm stoned, with the Holy Bible as my head When you sucker punch my bones I just wanna go get stoned and there's not a reason to be dead When you finally come home I just want to go get stoned and lay in our rotting bed You'll be home real soon And I'm lying on the floor When you get home real soon I'll meet you by the door When you call me on the phone I just wanna go get stoned and forget everything that you've said When I'm finally all alone I'll pretend that I'm stoned, with a coffin smile for you When you sucker punch my bones I just wanna go get stoned and there's not enough me for you When you finally come home I just want to go get stoned and lay in our rotting bed

I-65 04:05
Cincy seems so close, but Nashville, feels like home. And 65 will leave me dry on gasoline. I'm hypnotized by midnight headlights When the sirens come singing a round And with a light of my last cigarette I can burn this city to the ground I'm hypnotized by midnight headlights While you're finally getting out of town And with a light of my last cigarette I can burn this city to the ground Tonight, let's go look at the city Tonight, I'll say that you look so pretty Tonight, let's go look at the city Tonight, I'm finally done with my misery We don't have much time to waste. Twenty four floors above the pavement At seventy miles an hour, I'm gone South bound from your country home But you waited for the right time To chime in with one last goodbye, "I'll see you again come summer time." And if I never see you again, then I'll be fine. Tonight, let's go look at the city Tonight, I'll say you look so pretty Tonight, let's go look at the city Tonight, I'm finally done with my misery Tonight, let's get out of this city Tonight, I don't think you look so pretty Tonight, let's get out of this city Tonight, I'm in love with misery cause Cincy seems so close, but Nashville, feels like home. And 65 will leave me dry on gasoline. Cincy seems so close, but Nashville, feels like home. And 65 will leave me dry on gasoline. Cincy seems so close, but Nashville, feels like home. And 65 will leave me dry on gasoline. Yeah, 65 will leave me dry on gasoline.

Minute Key 02:42
I still got a key to your apartment and I keep it by my side Like I keep you in my mind to live from time to time I still got a key to your apartment. I'll drop by when you're not around Take in all the senses while you stay out of town I still got a key to your apartment where you're safe from my confines I'm sure I still fill your apartment with worry all the time And my blood soaked through the walls to you Like red wine you'd use to soothe The fire that lived in you I'll keep what I know true You said, "I'm coming back for you" And I'm bleeding out on the floor After I'd soaked you in all my pores When I'm done bleeding on the floor I'll stop. Feeling sorry for myself Stop feeling sorry for yourself And my blood soaked through the walls to you Like red wine you'd use to soothe The fire that lived in you I'll keep what I know true You said, "I'm never coming back for you"

Hold my tongue and hope to die, forked love and bloodshot eyes A broken thief ensnared in lies sends dreams to cloudy skies Tears on cheeks, you never cry, I never learned, you never tried A broken thief ensnared in lies sends dreams to cloudy skies Am I a prince or a pauper? Keeping secrets like a coffin Wrap them up mummy, tight, wheezing lungs, forgetting nights The room it always starts to spin, you'll never be this calm again Wrap you up, safe and tight, a whiskey kiss to say goodnight If I call, you'll never know I'll just wait and walk alone Headlights way up in the sky, pilot's gonna take his life, but I hope that he keeps you safe drifting over Atlantic wake When you land just let me know if you'll stay or if you'll go I'll run along, find someone new, maybe she'll look a Little like you, a little like you, a little like you Maybe she'll look a little like you My baby gets too high on methamphetamine She does it just to chase away her bad dreams Where she fights every demon from Satan's side While she sits all alone in her bed and cries I'm a Casanova, with no baby in my bed Make 'em all swoon, from thoughts inside of my head I'm such a snake charmer, bribing all of you in Old lady sells snake oil and we all love to sin My baby gets too high on methamphetamine Had her an abortion at the age of seventeen And she fought with the good Lord until he died While she sat all alone in her bed and cried And when I hear you cough, I might catch my breath And when I see you walk, I might miss a step And when I hear you laugh, I might roll my eyes And when I see you smile, I think I might die And when I hear you cough, I might catch my breath And when I see you walk, I might miss a step And when I hear you laugh, I might roll my eyes And when I see you smile, I think I might die

Sleep Alone 02:30
We walked into the bar and something caught my eye Maybe it's the liquor or maybe it's your hair Either way, I'm heading over there Take another shot of liquid courage strength I'll need it to get out of this rusty cage The girls take their shots to lose focus The boys break bottles to fuel their hate But I'm gonna take you home and i'll keep you safe While those pricks at the bar Learn what it really means. To sleep alone Why would you give me a second glance? A miserable romantic, introvert Maybe it's the "Fuck it" attitude Maybe it's the way I touch your skin It doesn't really matter, I'll take what I get It doesn't really matter, you'll take what you win When you take me home, remove all your clothes When I take you home, I'm sleeping alone But I'm gonna take you home and i'll keep you safe Yeah, I'll take you home and i'll keep you safe While those pricks at the bar Learn what it feels like. To sleep alone

A hundred miles a minute and I think I'm gettin' sick A sip for every second-hand tick this medicine hit's quick The world keeps on spinnin' and I'm not havin' any fun You feel a bit suicidal, I'm just a man holdin' a gun We're passing brand new state lines and chasing it with cheap wine These spins are sinking in, kicking ass in double time But whiskey makes you angry and vodka makes me sick Wine is for the hipsters and beer just tastes like piss We're passing brand new state lines and chasing it with cheap wine These spins are sinking in, kicking ass in double time But whiskey makes you angry and vodka makes me sick Wine is for the hipsters and beer just tastes like piss There's snow on my tongue and we're not having any fun Your suicide comes and I'm just a man holding a gun What a great way to die, what a sad way of life You tell me you love me, but I know it's a lie There's snow on my tongue and we're not having any fun Your suicide comes and I'm just a man holding a gun What a great way to die, what a sad way of life You tell me you love me, but I know it's a lie It's a great way to die, and a sad way of life You tell me you love me, but I know it's a lie

Biding Time 03:08
Please say you'll come alone tonight Keep me warm by this fire's side Maybe I'm a cotton mouthed liar, but you bit, hooked on the wire And it's time to go home tonight Please say that you'll be just fine So I can go to sleep tonight and dream of my own Bullets pacing, waiting for the time to strike But I'm fine just biding my own time Please say you'll come alone tonight I've got some new wrongs to right by my own mind And I don't have enough room for two Please say you'll keep me in your mind Where I'll live in safety all the time until you Forget how my voice sounds and it fades away too Please say that you'll be just fine So I can go to sleep tonight and dream of my own Bullets pacing, waiting for the time to strike But I'm fine just biding my time But I'm fine just biding my time

Family Pride 03:08
Do you remember when I was five And you took me by your side Said you had to go for a week long holiday Do you remember the tears that I cried Or the sadness in your eyes That said you'd be back for me, come Sunday You never wanted it to get this bad And you never wanted to let me down It's hard for a man to choose When you don't know what to do And the addiction controls you It's hard for a man to say When there is no other way Than to fight your only way of life I've watched my father fight For every night of his life With that demon perched on his shoulder And he's never given up Or needed some kind of crutch To kill that demon on his shoulder It's never hard to say something such as this I've always been so proud of you, dad It's never hard to say something such as this I've always been so proud of you, dad

I'll Be Fine 02:20
I'm caught walking around this dead end town Again on a sleepless summer night I walk from the welcome sign on 2nd street to the bar on Maple You know, a lot has changed over the years, It's like a whole new world No, I'll be fine. I don't need a ride. Could you find me anyway? No, I'll be fine I'm living the insomniatic static While you all feign sleep in your houses Mental seduction and heavy breathing keeps me awake like A politician's smile and a snake charmer's laugh Someone's out there hiding something and I can feel it But I'm an apparition: desperate and invisible Am I a ghost or a man?
