You try to keep your faith,
But inside of it all,
Those empty pages are cold,
Let it die, let it die, let it die,
A full house of promises,
Gilded to your bones,
So get wise or paralyzed, 
Step out with a master stroke,
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

Leave only scraps til' death,
A paragon, oh,
Ten friends in black, all smiling,
Gathered round', oh,
Grey ash in a cedar box,
I'd tear it down, oh.

So tired of faking guilt,
Done waiting for a sign,
Of fight or flight, 
Something real, an attempt to make it right.
Breaking down this complex that you,
Spat around my home,
All hoping that you find, 
A tumor, heart attack, or stroke,
And die, die, die,
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

Paragon

The guide so holy finds out his,
Life's a clever shame,
It's a goddamn hole, you can see it,
Medicine tasted so good.

And Anne thought one thought, 
Then she stopped,
And now I feel all right.

And I know you'd follow,
Fucking wrecked each night,
More ticks, more fears,
More and more uptight.

And Anne thought one thought,
And she stopped,
And now I feel all right,
Anne thought one thought and she stopped.

Anne

Stolen, berating style,
Floating, walk over,
Climb up in,
The narrow light,
Punch in your cocaine smile.

You oughta' go.
You oughta' go.

Breathing the venom deep,
I feel you underneath,
Break me, break me,
You oughta' go.

It's been falling right down,
Down, down,
Pity, pity, big sigh,
La da di di,
You're alive in great fire,
Burning sound,
Your mind is fuckin' long gone.

The October Demos

Narrows

Holding that tongue,
And all of us will soldier right on,
All through the night, through the night,
Everything's all right,
Every flavor kills you.

Lie to yourself like lighting up a cigarette,
Love me like a mirror to compare yourself,
Opening your eyes, you need to be so high.

Carry that bomb,
Claws like a vampire dig down.

You lie to yourself like lighting up a cigarette,
Love me, love me, love me like a mannequin,
And opening your eyes,
You need to be so high.

Claw

I don’t find the future at all home,
Blanket the window,
Bleeding, not quite atoned,
A mire.

Break you,
Like Brit and Shell,
Tear.

Climb down, pour smoke in the meadow,
Hole dug to Chisago,
A senior, plugged into walls,
Fading and dying, yeah.

Break you,
Like Brit and Shell,
Break you,
Down like the rest.

Bah, bah bah bah bah.

The ire flies,
Time’s been on my side,
You goddamn saw me fall,
In your eyes.

Break you,
Like Brit and Shell,
Break you,
Down like the rest.

Kill

Break

I see your soul, 
And it's got a voice that I hear, 
Through all the fog, 
And all the evening's dark sounds.

You're already safe with us, 
But these webs, 
That you have woven, 
Keep you walled on your own.

Saint Birch, Saint Birch, 
Saint Birch, you got a fire, 
A fire, a fire, 
And it burns.

Found yourself in a cynic's life, 
And it feeds you lies, 
You drive that empty road, 
That leads to doubt. 
Now it's seeming, 
This winter season's never changing, 
It's desperate, the silence that you've known.

You're so down now. 
You're so down now.

There's no country left to claim, 
At the bottom of the bottle, so, 
Saint Birch, Saint Birch, 
Saint Birch, you got a fire, 
A fire, a fire, 
And it burns.

I see your soul, 
And it's got a voice that I hear, 
Through all the fog, 
And all the evening's dark sounds, 
You're already safe with us, 
But these webs, 
That you have woven, 
Keep you walled on your own.

Saint Birch, Saint Birch, 
Saint Birch, you got a fire, 
A fire, a fire, 
And it burns, 
You're so down now, 
Oh, you're so down now, 
There's no country left to claim, 
At the bottom of the bottle, so.

So long spent in that fire's breath,
Got no Lord to fear, just time,
And I think when you believed me,
It still felt like falling down,
But I don't know.

Air feels cold in summertime,
Just like the photographs faded down,
Trapped outside in space,
Don't know where to run.

When you, when you,
When you believed,
Did you feel no fires, just me?

When You Believed

I don’t find the future at all home, 
Blanket the window, 
Bleeding, not quite atoned, 
A mire. 

Break you, 
Like Brit and Shell, 
Tear. 

Climb down, pour smoke in the meadow, 
Hole dug to Chisago, 
A senior, plugged into walls, 
Fading and dying, yeah. 

Break you, 
Like Brit and Shell, 
Break you, 
Down like the rest. 

Bah, bah bah bah bah. 

The ire flies, 
Time’s been on my side, 
You goddamn saw me fall, 
In your eyes. 

Break you, 
Like Brit and Shell, 
Break you, 
Down like the rest.

Break You

I just need you to love me, 
Yeah any body to love me, 
I’m so far beyond damaged, 
I’ll be your vampire made of plastic. 

I just want you to like me, 
Or anyone to write to me, 
“Hey how are you doing” 
But all my bridges burned for you here. 

It’s a short fall down, 
Every drink is so loud, 
I got six months on the outside, 
But I think I’ll go right now. 

So far past forgiveness, 
My mothers and fathers will forget this, 
Twenty eight years of my failures, 
And just pretend I’m good somehow. 

I just want you to see me, 
For a stranger to cry and plead to me, 
To last another day, 
Take my shame, throw it away, 
Cause it’s a short fall down, 
Every little drink hurts so much now, 
I had everyone I needed, 
But I could die alone right now.

Rum And Coke

Maybe you thought the world of me,
It's gone away and it's all right,
Not the first to fall in love.
Even I'm done with me,
One more month and one more try,
Addicted to the highs and lows.

The New Year's passed away,
All the blood is seeping out.

*more in full song later ine :D *
