Save My Soul

Leave the light on for me mother, but you know I'm not coming home
For the whiskey's wearing off but I've got such a long way on this road
I ain't been asleep for 3 days this week and it shows
Leave the light on for me preacher but we know I'm not coming in
For we know that you believe I'm much less man than sin
There's so many things I want to confess but I don't know where to begin
I just need someone to save my soul
I'm scared to find out what's inside these bones
Someone to save my soul
I'm scared to find out what's inside these bones
Keep the drinks pouring sister for we know I've got nowhere to be
Why don't you sit down? I just need some company
Just a few more drinks and then I swear that I'll finally be free
I just need someone to save my soul
I'm scared to find out what's inside these bones
Someone to save my soul
I'm scared to find out what's inside these bones

Eternal

I've been asking these questions for so long
I haven't found an answer that hasn't turned out wrong
But despite all these setbacks I think I'll get along
I haven't been sleeping since you left
I never felt so lonely as when we first met
These things that we're feeling, we haven't figured out yet
Oh we scream at the sky
"We're immortal, we're eternal
You know that we'll never die"
I'm eternal but the only thing I don't have is time
Keep to the table
I'll keep to the floor
The things that you need,
You're not asking me for
We both know you don't need me anymore
Oh we scream at the sky
"We're immortal, we're eternal
You know that we'll never die"
I'm eternal but the only thing I don't have is time
We don't know where we're going
But we sure as hell know where we've been,
Dear your apathy's showing
I just want, I just want to let you in
Oh we scream at the sky
"We're immortal, we're eternal
You know that we'll never die"
I'm eternal but the only thing I don't have is time

Kaleidoscope
05:51

I had a vision of the first time
in the mountains when you were all mine
I told myself this before
This gin is leaving my mouth dry
and I'm asking why
I'm still sleeping, sleeping on your floor
I've been chasing after something
to make me believe again
Cause my head's a kaleidoscope
I see these colors but I don't know
just how to spell it out for you
My heart's a slot-machine
it's paying out this lottery
for every woman that I know
I had a dream of the first time
you took me to church, said
"it's not my life to live anymore"
This whiskey's leaving my head cracked
though I swore I'm not coming
I'm still sleeping on your floor
You've been running away from something here
I can't make you believe dear
Cause my head's a kaleidoscope
I see these colors but I don't know
just how to spell it out for you
My heart's a slot-machine
it's paying out this lottery
for every woman that I love
My heart says "this is the end"
and Death he says he is my friend
I learned never to trust them
The thought that I'll get
what's coming to me
scares me to death
but I can't look you in the eye
Cause my head's a kaleidoscope
I see these colors but I don't know
just how to spell it out for you
My heart's a slot-machine
it's paying out this lottery
for every woman that I know

Sitting on my front porch, thinking to myself
"What if I work myself to death?"
There's nothing I can do
to change the way I am
This pride in my heart comes with being a man
It's telling myself I'm fighting again
You can't say anything to change the way I feel
So I keep my thoughts inside of my mind
I keep my words locked up inside
of my very own safe deposit box
I make deposits most every hour
Telling myself they just can't get out
'til there's nothing left
for me to say to you
There's some people some people you meet
inside of your dreams
and they fall in love, they fall in love
I hope one day maybe one day maybe I could be
someone to fall in love, I'll fall in love
but I don't think you should fall in love with me
I keep my smile always behind
my teeth, behind my eyes
You can't say anything to change the way I am
I drive my car all the way down
to the west coast of Florida
where I will drown
all of these fears, all these things that I've done wrong
There's some people some people you meet
inside of your dreams
and they fall in love, they fall in love
I hope one day maybe one day maybe I could be
someone to fall in love, I'll fall in love
but I don't think you should fall in love with me
There's some people some people you meet
inside of your dreams
and they fall in love, they fall in love
I hope one day maybe one day maybe I could be
someone to fall in love, I'll fall in love
but I don't think you should fall in love
I don't think you should fall in love
I don't think you should fall in love with me

Father's Son
04:44

I've been down
you've been out
of your mind again
but I know you better than some
You are fire, I am water,
you say you're your mother's daughter
but I am, I am my father's son
With all the things that you told me
I still need to know
where we're gonna be
and where we're gonna go
And you told me
I still need to pray
I'm still lost but I'll find a way
I've been down
you've been out
of your mind again
but I know you better than some
You are fire, I am water,
you say you're your mother's daughter
but I am, I am my father's son
And we tell ourselves
that oh, we need to lose
but it doesn't help
with all the nights and all the booze
You told me that you're gonna stay
Yes I'm still lost but we'll find a way
I've been down
you've been out
of your mind again
but I know you better than some
You are fire, I am water,
you say you're your mother's daughter
but I am, I am my father's son
I've been down
you've been out
of your mind again
but I know you better than some
You are fire, I am water,
you say you're your mother's daughter
but I am, I am my father's son

Keep Me Warm
02:58
|

I've been reading all these books to keep myself occupied
You've been taking your medicine in hopes that you'll never die
We keep our hands behind our backs and tied
and we stay close-lipped almost all the time
I shine a light
inside of my mind
It keeps me warm
almost every night
But don't think that you've been asking me to
hold on to every single thing I do
I've been drinking whiskey from the moment I woke up
but I'll never learn
some bridges were never meant to be crossed
but they were always meant to burn
We keep our hands above the level of our eyes
and I'll rip my heart out again for you
just one more time
I shine a light
inside of my mind
It keeps me warm
almost every night
But don't think that you've been asking me to
hold on to every single goddamn thing I do

When I'm Gone
02:19

If you promise to keep your eyes open
I'll try and stay awake
if you promise to keep your hands from shaking
I'll try not to break
If you say that you're praying for my soul
there's one thing that you must know
I promise to love you when I'm gone
If you say that the house you built for me
can hold my heart
then I promise that the words you say to me
won't tear me apart
If you say that you need to be true
that no one can love you but you
I promise to love you when I'm gone
If you say that you're praying for my soul
there's one thing that you must know
I promise to love you when I'm gone

Honest
03:40

There's a knot that's been slipping
from my fragile life as I see
that the window's been left open
for my fragile heart to bleed
You won't find me honest
You won't find me brave
but you will fight my sickness
cause there's something here that's worthy,
worthy to be saved
So pour another drink love,
as I sing you to sleep
the song that we've been writing
about the world that we see
You won't find me honest
You won't find me brave
but you will fight my sickness
cause there's something here that's worthy,
worthy to be saved
So you trade the sky for the mountains
and I'll trade you all my fears
On the way to the west coast
all we've got is right here
You will find me honest
You will make me brave
We will fight our sickness
cause you and I, you and I
are worthy to be saved
