And all the et ceteras

Broken glass shattered everywhere
I try hard but you don’t care
I try hard when you’re not there
I try hard

You know I’m fucked up inside
You know got the strangestest mind
But I don’t care
Oh I don’t care

Love, sex, whisky, and wine
I try hard but you don't mind
I try hard to be a lie
I try hard

You know I’m fucked up inside
You know got the strangestest mind
But I don’t care
No I don’t care

Oh my I’ve got the strange reason in mind
Oh my I’ve got the strange reason in mind
Yeah I don’t care
No I don’t care

Broken glass shattered everywhere
I try hard but you don’t care
I try hard but you’re not there
I try hard

No I don’t care
No I don’t care
No I don’t care
No I don’t care
No I don’t care
No I don’t care
No I don’t care
No I don’t care

What You Don't Know RAW

In the Overthrow RAW

I know I’m done for
I see my end in her eyes
All is fire in love and war
I hear the wolves circle in the dark

I’m hewn from springstone
Crackling with oil and bare knuckled
Ripe for the blasting of bones
I’m crashing through to fight for our love

When we knew we were all contagious
When people had neither cheeks nor faces
Fed the flames of the June days of rage
Is it getting any better?

Heaven knows what I've never shown
Fury and flow in the overthrow
I still believe in the place only we know
Where we belong in the overthrow
Can you take the chance on me?

These two fists giving hell
You can take me out on my shield
Covered o’er in the wreckage of dreams
I’ll ask you once: what’s the sun that makes you shiver?

For me it's always been returning to the fray
Parallax motion in a sea of faces
One by one drifting to the edge of the frame
Never feeling there was anything to save

In The Overthrow

Maybe sometimes she could see it in my eyes
Maybe sometimes it’s foolish to be wise, to keep it inside
Maybe she’s not really the one to blame
All I know is I don’t kiss her the same

What happened to our lovely love?
What happened to our smile?
How could we leave them in yesterday?

Two a.m. through the moonbeams where she lie
Kiss her softly in the silence of goodbye
The letter held my words on a pillow that’s mine no more
The longest walk of my life out that bedroom door

In that slumber sweetly dreaming,
Like the first time, she said, “I love you”
Though in vain, that is the whisper left lingering

“My darling, don’t look for me when you rise
In the morning I’ll be living my own life
The wind calls me brother and the road so long
I’ll love you always, but I’ll never be back home”

Another night in these old rogue shoes
The days that draw this face, these hands, further from you
Show me for all the broken oaths and shallow pride we knew
Maybe that’s not all we had I’m growing older without you

How I felt that night
My heart ached through my soul
Was it better to hold her in misery 
Than to never hold her at all?

“My darling, don’t look for me when you rise
And some morning you’ll make the most beautiful bride
The wind calls me brother and the road my home
I’ll love you always, but I got to keep rolling on and on and on.”

This old soul keeps rolling on

The Letter - EP MIX

Lonely and cold is the night outside your arms
I need you, to hold me, I need you near
 
I was born for you and you for me.
The utter rebels which we are through the night waltzing gently.
And the lullabies of our moans and sighs
rocking worlds to slumber
Enveloped in you sleep greater heroes and bards
refusing to wake to any song but ours
