No problem seeing No problem doing I got in trouble and you let me down Am I the reason You're not improving'? The blood and honey gonna melt it down I'm like a loaded gun in the room, there's no rest Until you put me away I ain't a bow on your neck, I'm the noose, stay in check You'll have to learn it the same You'll never see it coming', you'll never hear me coming' (Just drink it down like a good boy, drink it down) You'll never know what hit you, you'll thank me in the morning' (Drink it down like a good boy if you think you got it) Consider this a lesson, in manic indiscretions (blood and honey, blood and honey) You'll never see it coming', you'll never hear me coming' Ain't got a reason Ain't nothin' to it Feel sick and lonely when I'm not around Pick up the pieces Go on and do it The blood and honey gonna melt it down I'm like a loaded gun in the room, there's no rest Until you put me away I ain't a bow on your neck, I'm the noose, stay in check You'll have to learn it the same

I see you swimming in from way out Silver dagger in your teeth Hope you gotta better plan now Than the one I see How you flounder in the water How you flail and gasp for air I'll be standing on the dry land You were almost there Fall down, get up You might as well give up You can't stand losing but ya You can't catch me You fall behind, you're dead I'm fifteen steps ahead You can't stand knowing that ya You can't catch me I see you coming down the mountain Silver bullet just for me I hope you packed a better pistol Than the one I see How you stumble down the mountain How you fall and cry for help I'll be down here on the ground now You can help yourself Fall down, get up You might as well give up You can't stand losing but ya You can't catch me You fall behind, you're dead I'm fifteen steps ahead You can't stand knowing that ya You can't catch me

Black Lion 05:28
I used to love you Now I don't know how to feel I would have died to Kill she who taught you to steal If it makes you feel better let's turn out the light You see advantage, but the fact is I see best at night Black Lion I'm on fire Black Lion I'm on fire You were so brave to Crawl back on broken legs And did it change you To have to beg me for change Sad and sorry, pleased with pity, please forgive me for it Had to worry, grieved a little, feeling' better for it Black Lion I'm on fire Black Lion I'm on fire

I’m not playin’ fair, I thought I warned ya I thought you said playing fair was so tired Get out a shovel, dig that hole a litter deeper, Get on my level, (or) it’ll be a long night It’s better, the devil you know Than the devil you don’t Better the devil you know Cuz the devil he won’t Take it easy on ya Don’t try to help me now, it doesn’t matter Don’t try to save me now, it doesn’t matter. I made my bed, then I set it on fire Get out a bucket gotta bail a little water Put down the bottle it’ll be a long night My shoulders can’t contain the weight I’m making bad decisions The other side decides my fate To late, I burn all bridges

Broken Ropes 05:24
Head Heart Knife I’m breaking’ up Red Dark Light I’ll make it up Frozen hope Just give it time Broken Ropes I’ll give you mine Heat Love Pain We’re out of luck Cheap Luck Chain It’s good enough Hold them both Then changed my mind Broken ropes Or broken lines Stand Now Breathe In single file Feel Touch See It’s been awhile Rose from stone It’s hard to bend Broken Ropes We’ll start again

Shadows and whispers keep me up at night Pacing the hallways half checking the lights Half cold with terror locking windows up tight A ghost of the lover I'd hoped you might be A mountain of leavin', a fountain of teeth You can't stop kickin' me even while you sleep Sweetheart she's dead, it might as well have been me Dashed on the rocks below a cliff by the sea Gone with her is the fire she carried so long Did anybody even notice she was gone? Each night a pale horse with no skin on it's bones Stands in the graveyard where imprinted in stone (it says) "Here lies The Sweetheart may she rest here alone" What about the heart they carved right into a tree? What about the wine and roses milk and honey Well I'll light a candle and I'll pretend nothin's wrong And nobody even noticed she was gone

Shiver 04:52
You've broken every bone, that I own I've been tryin so hard to move you Burned down my house and home, then atoned I've been tryin so hard to lose you You give me a chance, then take it back, til i'm fallin apart I'm in a trance, you make my feet stand still You've blinded both my eyes, no surprise I've been tryin so hard to see you I kept up my disguise, realized That I've been tryin too hard to feel you You give me a chance, then take it back, now i'm fallin apart I'm in a trance, you make my feet stand still Tighten the knot until my heart stops, fallin apart Know in advance, you're gonna make me kill Well, you shiver everywhere that I kiss I've been tryin so hard to shake you You fried my poor brain to a crisp I've been tryin so hard to take you You give me a chance, then take it back, now i'm fallin apart I'm in a trance, you make my feet stand still Tighten the knot until my heart stops, fallin apart I see in advance, I'm gonna have to kill

I'm on a straight line, I'm on a pony I'm gonna take mine, in a bag You non-believers, you'll never see us Sit with the sleepers, In the back I float like the smoke to the ceiling Pay no mind to dust on the floor I see it all from the top, watch you evaporatin I got time to take a little more This ain't a good time, to keep your head dry Sink with the sailors, in the deep You non-partakers, you'll never break us I'll spot a faker, in my sleep I float like the smoke to the ceilin Pay no mind to dust on the floor I see it all from the top, watch you evaporatin I got time to take a whole lot more It's no use settlin down (You should know that by now) It's too late to turn around (You should know that by now) You gotta bleed, you gotta want it Ya gotta get right, to the point Ain't got no answers, don't know no problems Not like it matters, in this joint I float like the smoke to the cei-lin Pay no mind to dust on the floor I see it all from the top, you watch me operatin I got time to take a little more I got time to take a little more I got time to take a whole lot more

Half my mind’s on fire while the other half’s asleep You think you a doctor You don’t know what’s best for me That suitcase full of pills contains no cures or remedies You think you a doctor But you don’t have what I need Half the time feels like I’m spending half my time in jail You think you a hammer & everything looks like a nail But this is not resistin’ this is bittersweet farewell You think you a hammer, everything looks like a nail The enemy that you see can’t be real, you understand You say you a fighter, but the truth is far less grand You seethe in anonymity, so bellicose and bland You say you a fighter, but that don’t make you a man

You're here, and it's a waste of time We go a-a-all around Someone understands and someone missed the meaning The fear, of not staying in line's Taking o-o-over now Everybody wants to see what's coming next Maybe there’s a point at which you’re better without me Maybe this ain’t worth an unoriginal heartbreak The times, I over-analyzed Aren't a-a-all to blame Someone understands that this one bears repeating Deny, what you couldn't disguise Ain't it a-a-all the same Everybody wants to see it fall apart Maybe there’s a point at which you’re better without me Maybe this ain’t worth an unoriginal heartbreak Besides, your apparent dislike Of a-a-all things grey Listen for the sound of all your color fading Abide, by the rules you decide Though they always seem to change Everybody's gone there's no one left but you Maybe there’s a point at which you’re better without me Maybe this ain’t worth an unoriginal heartbreak

Time and Space may fall apart, they say Laws of reality will drift a-way But even if the sun went out today All I care about is you Cuz it’s love, in any dimension Your hesitations have no bearings here It’s just love, in every direction I'm a reflection of you Oooh ooooh We are entangled No matter how far or near Oooh ooooh We are entangled Wherever you are, it feels like you're right here I lie awake and watch the stars float by Small enough to fit a needle's eye But if they ever do in fact collide I'll still be here with you Cuz it’s love, in any dimension Your hesitations have no bearings here It’s just love, in every direction I'm a reflection of you
