Oh
I'm walking back to you
I'm walking through the trees
Our ceremony in the cemetery

Oh
At first I walked through Hell
She would whisper sweet
The harlot of the beast in me

You're still there

Oh
At first I had to know
What I would go through
Just to fall back to my knees again

Oh
Sometimes, it takes a while
To rediscover things
To put aside all my false idolatry

You're still there

Oh
Here comes my younger self
He's watching quietly
He thinks he's seen it all at 17

Oh 
He's like a magazine
More like a movie screen
A window scene unraveling

You're still there

You're Still There (Demo)

Lyrics:

Jesus
I'm going down
Eastside
Come and meet me
Where we can collide

Touchdown
In my hometown
All hail
Heroes bathing in light

Meltdown
From time to time
Fuck this
Midwest credit card life

Jesus
I'm going down
Eastside
Come and meet me
Where we can collide

Collide (Demo)

Lyrics:

Quarterback, third period, 
Jersey number 33
He would speak in Christianese

All-American
All-American
All-American boy

Told me I was pretty, but
Seemed to never get it up
He would cry in his sleep

Getting mad and throwing things
Talking scams and wedding rings
Nancy thinks that I should leave

He's just

All-American
All-American
All-American boy

All-American (Demo)

Lyrics:

I tighten up
At the sound of the clicks
A walkie-talkie makes
Jargon-gurgled wheeze
Could it be
Another man in a badge
With papers and handcuffs
"Come away with me"

I lighten up
I put my hand on a Bible
And I swear to God
I will tell you the truth
Why would it be
Anything other than the entirety
Here's how it happened to me

Till death do us part

I never know
What the future will hold
But I'm hurdling
Towards the great unknown
You testify
That I'm a depressive psychotic maniac
I just need some help

Leave ‘em out of this
Can't we just get along
And just move on with shit
I'm tryna do what you want
To rectify
And live out our lives
Try and keep our dream

Till death do us part

Till Death Do Us Part (Demo)

Lyrics:

Bobby-Lee sits next to me
First day of first grade
She turns to me, and I keep
Calm and collected

Suddenly, she's telling me
'Bout this girl named Britney
She was crying and
Shaving her head

"She's just like you and me
Only, she sings on MTV
She's smiling, but I know
She's sad"

It's okay
It's alright
Sometimes, you’re gonna lose out
On what you can't find
Sometimes, you're gonna look ugly
When you cry

We're just like Britney
You and I

Bobby-Lee was searching me
Like I might just understand
It's crazy that we can't recall
Being born at all
On a spinning ball
In first grade

Just Like Britney (Demo)

Lyrics:

Thursday night
Guess I won't be shooting the breeze
What's my line?
Think of something convincing
So trite
Reruns runnin' on the TV
Susan tries
To make connection with me

Believe it or not
George isn't at home
Leave a message
After the tone

Thursday night
Guess I won't be shooting the breeze
What's my life?
Think of something convincing
So trite
Reruns runnin' on the TV
Susan tries
To make connection with me

Believe it or not
George isn't at home
Leave a message
After the tone

Reruns (Demo)

Lyrics:

I have met you in the grocery
I have met you in jail
I have felt you in the strangest ways
Constellations in the ash tray

I have heard you in a thousand voices
I have known you in the kindness of strangers
It was never in a book
It was in the heart that's reaching

To believe
In good

Am I looking in the wrong places
Are you in the burning bush
Should I leave it all and follow
Should I suffer for the unknown

Home is dwelling in the spaces
Though, I built my house from wood
When I look into the heavens
Home is in the heart that's reaching

Out for good
