1.Rise Up In The Dirt

Too many times you're gonna go out with a-walkin'
Too many times you come out late
Too many times you set yourself out of the scene, it makes you
walk up straight
It makes you walk up straight

Too many times you trade the bottle for the body
One drop of breath and one for skin
You say nobody knows the truth about your body, are you entirely
thin?
Are you entirely thin?

But if I were a good man, would it really happen?
Would you walk me home and everyday from work
But maybe I'm a good man, wouldn't let it happen
I believe in love, I'm married to my work

Cause I can be a father, I can be a brother, I can be a flower,
rise up in the dirt
We were born to live here, We were born to die here
And you know this when you work
Yeah, you watch me when you work

Well, you are free from the work or the silence
Well, you know what to do with your demands
It's not sure
You got a few ideas

And when you wake from this shell of this body
Or will you sink your ghostly man?
Well, it's not holy
You've got something better up your sleeve

Too many times you'll keep your love dry for your family
And let it over in your sleep
You'll overtry to hold some burden like a man, something you can
keep
Something you can keep

You smell the scent of something burning in the kitchen
He smells the future on the lawn
These are the things we've come to recognize as truth, we cut
the right into wrong
We cut the right into wrong

But if I were a good man, would it really happen?
Would you walk me home and everyday from work
But maybe I'm a good man, wouldn't let it happen
I believe in love, I'm married to my work

Cause I can be a father, I can be a brother, I can be a flower,
rise up in the dirt
We were born to live here, We were born to die here
And you know this when you work
Yeah, you watch me when you work

It seems that we be smooth like pebbles
But now we get scared like our parents
Or somewhere fake
It's just a waste of money

And when you wake up tomorrow, my son
Will you be the father of someone terrible
It will it shine, throughout your life
It won't bury you, cause we know

Somewhere in the darkness, you will find love, baby you will
find love
You will feel younger girl
And you will feel young


2.Four Long Days

Lights are fading, the feeling is back
This is the closest thing to disaster
Keep on fading, snow white into black
The kind of thing you laugh about after

And we were stuck, stacking misery
Four long days, in an ugly town
We pretend to know about misery
And never felt the cold sun beating down
But you will soon

Watching TV, and flirting with fate
He drank my cold soul under the table
Fame and fever, to risk and to lay
You shouldn't cry you're willing and able

I have locked, in a great image here
Avoiding the cop, in an ugly stare
And staring back, it's what you bargained for
You never felt the cold sun beating down
But you will soon
You had this family to support
One house and three young children, biting at your hands
I don't pretend to understand
But listen, listen, listen, I, I, I , I, I
Have never liked that look in your eyes
And I, I, I, I, I
Am still shouting 'please, please, forgive me
for what I've done'
What have I done?
Why is this taking so long?

The love is cold but
The engine is warm
I think of home, I think of the sweet life
Of sweat and sunshine, and sandals and shorts
We had to feel my sprain on the hi-fi

We got bored, in our own living room
So we got stuck with an ugly fence
That kills your days, and makes you forget a lot
And then you feel the hot son beating down, and you start to cry


3.Soft & Warm

Everyone loves a man, who lets the hardest people build him up
and cut him down to lovable size
And somebody holds a candle, by right it tastes all longing
Words are remembered:us and them, you love, you despise

I've seen the years go by in triple lines of gray
Oh, you were always on the ground
You're always on the ground
If I could catch you, I would hold you for a day
Oh, won't you do this when you can
Do what you can

I've seen the hardest people soften in the spotlight
Won't you stop and breathe, tell me what you want to feel
I could draw on all these things, baby I feel this beauty pull
me to a
Soft and warm, I know this all I need, why don't we learn to
grieve
Baby I'd leave you for the person you used to be

Everyone has a secret, so bite your mother tongue
And let the truth bleed over you, you open sheep-skin
You can never describe the future, but you can paint the past
In shades of blue, or money used with neumonic charm

God, shake this sickness, won't this decade ever end?
Oh, it's be going on for years
Been happening for years
Can't face the truth, why can't things just be begin
Because they always end in tears
They always end in tears

I've seen the hardest people soften in the spotlight
Won't you stop and breathe, tell me what you want to feel
I could draw on all these things, baby I feel this beauty pull
me to a
Soft and warm, I know this all I need, why don't we learn to
grieve
Baby I'd leave you for the person you used to be

You are so young, so feel alive
And one day you will live on your own


4.Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives

If you think you're throwing words to the wise,
the first thing that you ever felt, inside and under your belt
To a place that smothers children
Caught the space between two lives

I've seen you working, wasted and gray
You've got a delicate heart, and listen, you would be smart
To keep yourself in a world of mothers, sisters, daughters and
wives

Listen, I've come to rock this boat
The take and giving means no room for the living
And some of you think it loves and lovers
Death in one corner, use suspense in the other
I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another
We only ever wanted to feel you
Two years of taction only teaches you to fight
We only ever wanted to try

And if you see this world as ugly and thin
Then you'll be so cruel to the touch, you'll leap out the body
you're in
To a land of angry soil, that swallows boys and cops or men
I've seen you taste the salt of your tears
You always stop when you start, and listen, you would be smart
To keep yourself in a world of mothers, sisters, daughters and
wives

Listen, I've come to rock this boat
The take and giving means no room for the living
And some of you think it loves and lovers
Death in one corner, use suspense in the other
I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another
We only ever wanted to feel you
Two years of taction only teaches you to fight
We only ever wanted to try

I'll raise a glass to the and no one else's fool
Raise some question to the rule who says you'd have to lose a
love to find one
Take the things you don't respect and I will miss them
To features night into one
That says you have to lose a love to find one
I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another
We only ever wanted to feel you
Two years of taction only teaches you to fight
We only ever wanted to try

I'm around, I'm around, I'm ok, I'm ok
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm insane, I'm insane
We are, yeah, we are, we are
We are just sinking for something

With our hands, and our fists, muscles, skin, thumb, and bone
We never grew up, we were cut from the stone
That holds your body and soul
We are all just sinking for something


5.Fast Asleep

Everybody wants a piece of some easy enterprise
Can't this world cut your face and carry the news that you've
got a gift to be given?
Cut it out cut your loss, you don't dream you fantasize
And this is how we measure the cost of enjoying the pain of 21
year of good living

Gotta take something great just to get me out of bed
Music to my ears it makes you happy when you tell me
This place is like a womb you live so well from doing nothing
One day you will learn there is some beauty in the thing that
makes you sweat

And I woke up with a song 'cause I had a dream, yes I had a
vision of people
Lying in the sun
Sleeping on the rocks and stones
Waiting just to die
They were just fast asleep like lions
They were just fast asleep like lions in summer

When you look at me do you see someone with a future?
Music to my ears it makes me happy when you tell me
This place is like a womb you live so well from doing nothing
One day you will learn there is some beauty in the thing that
makes you

Swear all the years of wasted time
half divine
half what you could be

Oh, all this time they let this city
Get sad and empty
'Cause they're only half awake

When you look at me do you see someone with a future?
One day you will learn there is some beauty in the thing that
makes you sweat
