Lord I can’t forget it
It’s tucked so deep away
That sweet silent whisper
That we all call yesterday
And I’ve been away a long time lord
I don’t know what to say
Soon as I’m back
It all feels just the same
So let’s give away the past
It don’t got nothing to say
Doomed to repeat it
Well that sounds better than today
And let’s give away the past
It just keeps on dragging heels
The time we take to forget
That’s how long it takes to heal
When we give away
You see nostalgia's like an uncle
Who just drinks away and steals
Like the yearning Christmas morning that we all wish would stand still
But don’t you give into his charms don’t you let him settle down
The time that you need him he won’t be back around
To stay
So let’s give away the past
It don’t got nothing to say
Doomed to repeat it
Well that sounds better than today
And let’s give away the past
It just keeps on dragging heels
The time we take to forget
That’s how long it takes to heal
When we give away
When we give away
When we give away

Tears

How can I make her smile
When I’m the cause of her tears?
And why would she forgive me now
After all those rotten years?
It’s time like these I say God please,
Put out the fire between us
We can’t start again, or be just friends
There’s no way to delete “us”
It’s coming soon I feel it now
And she’s so tired
it’s not the end, it’s just beginning
Remember way out west,
when things were still good?
Where’d did that go,
Did we leave in the city?
The wind picks up leaves
Shaking boughs, lifting up, green
Stems of things we can’t hold back
The purple spots of fights we’ve lost
And all the times you said you go back home
And leave me here
And all the shit, the plates you’ve thrown, how you feel
You’ve made it clear
It’s coming soon I feel it now
And she’s so tired
it’s not the end, it’s just beginning
Remember way out west,
when things were still good?
Where’d did that go,
Did we leave in the city?

Vegas Eiffel Tower

Staring at pictures of the Vegas Eiffel Tower
In Reno Nevada
Nursing a hangover that wouldn’t go
Sitting in the shower
I know, I should probably get home
But I’d probably still feel alone
I’m high,
I’m dry,
Checkered hats and car coats
Givenchy heels on a weathered ghost
The heat keeps people from getting to close
The fever that took grandpas life
It’s got me in a trance
I know I tried to get healthy once
But I don’t think it’s coming back
Fuck me, my friends turned to family
And that’s when I needed them most
But most the things you love, you lose
And the remnants haunt you like a ghost
So excuse me please
I’ll have my vodka soda in peace
And stare at pictures of the Vegas Eiffel Tower
In Reno Nevada

The possibilities is keeping me hungry
Please don’t let me down
The way Mephistopheles, he’s my Achilles
My friend
I’m bound for hell again
I feel It, the gnawing, the writhing
The end
And Were going without a fight
Cause We’re so damn tired
The pale-ish landscape of the moon
Your face wears it so well I might swoon
Don’t pay any mind, to the words I spout
When it gets bad, I’m glad to have you friend
I feel it, the gnawing, it’s not so bad
But we’re going without a fight
Cause we’re so damn tired

The House Is a Disaster
04:50

I'll stay besides the window
And make notches for the days you're gone
And I’ll leave the front door unlocked
In case you’re coming home
I’m blowing all my money
Wasting all my time
Waiting for you to come back
And jump into my arms
'Cause I’ve had so many long forgotten nights
Since you went running,
Since you’ve been lost
And I don’t how much longer I can do this
But until I hear that your dead or happy
I’ll keep putting myself through this
Down on Prescott I drank a fifth of Smithwick's
Then I passed out in the street holding pictures of you and me
I keep the bottle close, and the stoker closer
I haven’t been sweeping the ashes
The house is a disaster
I Called Mary up and asked where you went
She heard my voice and asked my name then she simply said "away"
I don’t know how much longer I can do this
I’m grasping at straws, every day is a further fall
'Cause I’ve had so many long forgotten nights
Since you went running,
Since you’ve been lost
Why’d you have to leave the day I got paid
And now the works all gone away, all I do is sit home and say.
