That You Don't

Commie Blood

Stare Down Sally

Passer Through

Defensible

Tell Mr. Massey

Cruel Fashion

Bad Weather's Coming

My Default Heart

Proof that lives and breathes
ah, but tough in the middle

Friends and enemies 
grow down deep in every cut

A sweet and bitter tease
bound like brothers in a little

Trouble is
I can see a million futures and its a
one way road, I'm just feelin it out
your lost dogs are found and level out

Cause and effect
desire and movement pull in every direction

True hearts and simple minds
breathe down your neck until your cells divide

Truth that lives and breathes
and talks in riddles

Paints over the scene
of each and every plot

So believable
at times forgotten, at times reknown

Understand this
is only one of a million futures and its
Free to pull cards at any time
You long polls are takin the shortest time

Plenty mistakes get recorded
some have a limited chance

To realize all along
You're a synthesizer
You're a synthesizer

Trouble Is

Sound check is over
everybody's all plugged in
guitars are tuned to the bass
the show it starts before it begins
it always starts before it begins

We're supposed to stay so cool, calm, and real
But when it comes to her now you love to spin the wheel.

Fill er up, Mr Gasman
cause I wanna drive all night
out into the desert
underneath the Marfa lights

Cuz we're supposed to stay so cool, calm, and real.
But when it comes to her now, you love to turn the wheel.

The Show Starts Before It Begins

{title:Ghost Thoughts}

{c:Verse}
Won't police your head Correct words you said I won't disappoint you baby

Take you to the top Hold your hand if we drop I won't disappoint you baby

{c:Chorus}
{soc}
Rather abbreviate a longer life
Sink in deep, embrace, and close my eyes
 Don't let in ghost thoughts
Don't let in a ghost thought
From the start
{eoc}

{c:Verse}
Won't take your liberty Secrets safe with me I won't disappoint you baby

You're my forget-me-not Love you with all I've got Even when I disappoint you baby

{c:Chorus}
{soc}
Rather abbreviate a longer life Sink in deep, embrace, and say goodnight Rather abbreviate..
 But your words don't get you so far now  No your words don't get you so far now
{eoc}

Everybody Gets Fucked Up

Foolish odds
and honorable mentions.
Hems and haws
and interventions.
All the great ideas
come from bad intentions.

Oh it's a foul luck
to give a fuck
when I can only see you with doe eyes
full of great intents
and purposes.
The closer I come, the farther I go.
The closer I come, the farther I go.

Weathered well,
worn in at the creases

Mad as hell
but you hold all of the pieces
that could put us back together 
or at least release us

Ah, it's a foul luck, it's a foul luck
to give a fuck 
when I can only see you with doe eyes
full of great intents and purposes.

The closer I come, the farther I go.
The closer I come, the farther I go.
The closer I come, the farther I go.
