𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎 𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒔 .

see the rivers meet & spread like veins .

gonna dance around & sing about my pain .

see the dried flood lines on the neighbors' porches .

do you remember crying for all them horses ?

they did not look scared at all .

tell me when it feels you cannot escape me .

just yell like dad would yell at all the noise i'm making .

i'm just happy you still call .

city kid bought the farm , he's a real nice guy .

he left a lifetime invitation for my friends & i .

couldn't make it back even if i tried .

some things live forever even when they die .

i wanna beat it , wanna beat it bad .

everyone looks happy in a photograph .

i've crossed the county line , i cannot go back .

i'm always on my own .

maybe i'm manic again , but i think this time i'm out for good .

i'm a sidewalk preacher with a record deal .

i'm the weight of new sneakers on some dead wood .

this ain't mine anymore , i made too much goddamn noise .

𝒂 𝒇𝒆𝒘 𝒐𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒐𝒘𝒏 .

i was high when i met you . . . life was something to get through .

i felt the spiral of the earth when you finally called me yours .

ain't it strange how you saw me getting dressed in the hallway ?

you could tell i was falling or escaping from something .

you didn't see me as a curse .

the state of the summer blends us in with each other .

too old for both of us to keep howling at the moon .

teach me how not to stare at you .

i knew well , i knew hell , & now i don't .

wish me well , tell the stories i would tell .

go ahead , make a few of your own .

once all the rain stopped i was afraid you might wake up .

i grew up with a feeling that what's good must be fleeting .

𝒐𝒓𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒓 .

it's not my first time bitter drunk on a red carpet .

not my first time losing , & it won't be my last .

california is so much more than some awards show .

you're no more important than an insect on a window .

they'll see you climbing , but won't care until you get close .

some people don't know why they're wolves .

they just howl for the sound of it .

some will never know they're beautiful unless the crowd points it out for them .

i see you through a camera flash .

i'm a college kid with my windows down .

i'm an astronaut , you're the moon .

i stare at you , i sing to you .

i clutch my cloth & i bite my tongue .

i'm an aging wolf who lost the taste for blood .

even anxious pups need the moon .

i circle you .

i'm gonna lose you either way .

𝒅𝒂𝒏 .

everybody's asleep , let's talk about him .

let's talk about high school , talk about death .

talk about the long ride home from the grave .

we were too fucked up on [ name ] 's birthday .

you're appealing to the parts that you know i hold dear .

you've been the best five minutes of a shitty old year .

i'm with my best friend [ name ] now , camping on the county line .

hand around a miller lite , waiting for the sun to rise .

couple of hometown heroes , fighting over politics .

we're so alone most of the time .

most of the time we don't have anyone .

where do we go when we die ?

i wouldn't mind right here .

i wouldn't mind at all .

you tried to tell me how unfair it is .

i'd give it all back if i could , i cannot .

i think i stood right here back when [ name ] died .

i hated the way i made it all about me .

every day from back then is like a bad old dream .

see the wasps hit the water & drown .

see the lightning light the world .

flip a rock , see the bugs sleeping sound .

that's us , you and i will be found .

we ain't far from my house .

𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒄𝒉 𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 .

i would ask you how you've been , but it's all over the internet .

but hey , i mean , you knew that after all .

you're looking for an autopsy , or a half assed half apology .

i think you picked the wrong time to make this call .

it is not irrelevant that you stopped taking your medicine .

i'm giving you the benefit 'cause it's raining out .

i hope you tell me that you're winding down .

it ain't up to you to make it out .

there ain't no shame in calling this thing quits .

i ain't holding my breath , ain't holding any faith at all .

i'll pray for you , be in pain for you .

i'll leave the porch light on .

so it goes , so it goes , so it goes . . .

you act like we just sit up here & wait for you to reappear .

baby there are bills to pay .

i try to drown out all the talk , the eyeballs in the parking lot .

𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒚 𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒚 𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒚 .

i wanna drop the gloves but you're far too patient .

i wanna see you lose it , i wanna hear you say it .

i wanna know the dark that i share a brain with .

tell me when you were broken .

do you still have a heart or has somebody stole it ?

i'm far too tired to watch you lie , so let's just watch tv .

i'll get your house paid off so the feds can't touch it .

another thing we don't talk about anymore .

don't worry , i won't bring it up .

you can scream at me when i come home drunk .

it's fine , i know your company line .

we're both exhausted for different reasons .

you said you got a guilty conscience , but i ain't never seen it .

i'm well prepared to never meet him .

𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉 .

they finally caught the guys who blew up those two police cars .

it was a couple college kids who thought the town was dumb as rocks .

i always wish you well when i pass the old gas station with the banner on the front that shows how tolerant they are .

you'll get told to go to hell by some summer time flatlander with a coexisting sticker on the bumper of their car .

it's gone to shit without you .

it was shit before , but at least i had you .

there ain't nothing to report , but i hope you're bored & headed north .

i've been taking your advice & trying to scream less at the tourists .

i've been working on my timing when i ask too much of you .

if i see one more cybertruck i swear to god i'm gonna floor it .

need somebody here to talk me out of things i can't undo .

𝒘𝒆 𝒈𝒐 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 .

saw the world from up close .

it ain't much to look at compared to you in your work clothes .

i can't make myself whole , most days i'd be lucky just to get half .

you've seen me in places so low , you can recognize when it's real bad .

used to hate the silence . used to make me think about the old days .

out here i can hear your heartbeat .

i can hear the start of a long sigh .

i don't need my name back .

i love you & i can't fake that for a moment .

for a moment we go way back .

we go way back .

i'm always trying to run from what i'm known for .

i've never seen the rain fall so hard .

honey , we're north of nowhere now .

heaven is a drink in the back yard as we watch the storm touch down .

𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒅 .

gambling with the sun on which one of us dies young .

i ain't afraid to hold the gun if it leads me to the safe .

tell the fellas at the morgue that i'm heading back on tour .

i'm filling every pause .

i'm speaking when i know something .

they'll say ' i wanna be you , but i don't wanna be that ' .

i wanna be you , but i don't wanna be that .

im betting on the north to drag my ass back down to earth .

where i'm from & what i'm worth have gotten too damn intertwined .

fuck it , i might even disappear .

i hope you've had a decent time .

gonna be rich in our own way .

𝒉𝒂𝒊𝒓𝒄𝒖𝒕 .

storm took the phone lines down .

you're bouncing off the walls .

you got up mad as hell & told me that i had it all .

i tried to heal your wounds just to say i helped .

it ain't a high road now , it's just uneven ground .

i ain't even around to slow your speeding down .

if a lie turned true , a lie it would still be .

you ain't a goddamn hero now 'cause you cry on live tv .

at least i got a soul still , even if i'm in a bad place .

i'm happy for your haircut .

i'm glad you got your act clean .

you're showing up like bad news & leaving like a bad dream .

help me if it helps you sleep .

i don't need your cosign now .

for two hundred years we laid bricks in the dirt .

you grew your hair out long , now you think you're jesus christ .

there ain't nobody mistaking your guilt for some great sacrifice .

now you stumble around like a ghost telling people how you died .

you walked into a haunted house & got angry at the ghosts .

𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 & 𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 .

when my weight left the room did you take a deep breath ?

i stole a beer & drove home – there was only one left .

i wrestle the feeling you're still thinking about that .

when i make my flight i'm the devil , but when i stay the night then we drink .

we stay up & fight about the childhood lie that we both had the courage to leave .

i'm willing & able if you wanna kick this rock around .

i'll stay here 'til morning , we can fight like we used to fight .

i'd be willing & able .

look at you leaving again , it's all you know how to do .

go ahead take the last of the drinks , the world belongs to you .

they all say you're a light , all i see is a shadow .

if i call you out i'm an asshole , but i tell the truth when i drink .

let's fight about the childhood lie , we don't care what the other one thinks .

i wish you could know me , & i wish i could know you much more sometimes .

wish i could do nothing with you .

i'll say ' i love you ' & mean it this time .

𝒅𝒂𝒔𝒉𝒃𝒐𝒂𝒓𝒅 .

you always went looking for an easy way out .

leave the pain you can't solve with the folks you let down .

you tell yourself lies & disguise them as facts .

it'll hurt half as much if you drive twice as fast .

just when you think that the road's straight ahead is when the devil shows up on your dashboard again .

look at you go , crossing state lines with your shadow .

change your zipcode , turns out that you're still an asshole .

all your new friends look a lot like your last .

took all those loose ends , made 'em sandalwood beads 'round your neck .

it ain't our fault that you're not suddenly somebody else 'cause you worked on yourself .

23 .

i can still see the people around me change shape .

even when you're not here , it becomes about you .

they all want me to tell 'em your story .

you broke in and stole china from our living room .

you stand over half a foot taller than me .

i'd beat your ass 'til the morning .

you know i've been running all this time .

stay gone .

tattooed your initials into my right arm so i'd see your name when i lift up a drink .

there ain't nothing else here worth catching up on .

i hope it's warm wherever you sleep .

i've got a feeling that won't go away .

the doctors are calling it ' just moving on ' .

i still ball up my fists when they mention your name .

no one gets to talk shit but the ones you've shit on .
