I’m a River running near
To the banks of a better time my dear
Tempestuous Thunder rain
Flooding my fondest thoughts again
God Damn the damned up thoughts
Sinking my ship in tied up knots
Churning the harbor door
My passage never meets the shore
Dressed up for a dimmer shade of gray
For a bed and a bottle laid away
Paused a past on a pretty face
Crossed the aisles in Scarlet lace
Prayers to the pope wont save you now
We lived through the glory days
An empire defeated by malaise
As seasons pass me by
We lay forgotten wonder why
What were they saying through their teeth
We were taught to grin through our grief
Facades are meant to fade
Living inside the walls we made.
Dressed up for a dimmer shade of gray
For a bed and a bottle laid away
Paused a past on a pretty face
Crossed the aisles in Scarlet lace
Prayers to the pope won't save you now
Won't save you now

I met with an old friend the other day, she said she hadn’t seen me in 13 long years
I looked down on the tarmac and I said, I haven't seen you in that long either
We exchanged smiles and heartbreak and stories by the parked vans with bumper stickers
And without words she said.
“My husband left me and I’m raising these kids on a minimum,
3 part time jobs and shit.
“Well I hope your doing alright with your life, and I’m doing ok with mine, I guess. ”
Well the last time I saw you we were thriving
Well we were doing just fine.
Chorus:
I hope your doing just fine
I hope your doing just fine
I hope your doing alright
I guess I’m doing alright myself
Verse 2:
I haven’t scene my uncle in a shit ton of years, and well you know his heart stopped and he died.
and my grandmother, the one on my dads side, I have to remind her who I am every time I see her.
but I hope that when his kids have Christmas dinner each year
They remember the way that I look and I said to things to them like, “the fire has a good log on it, its burning bright like grandmas eyes.”
And I told my mom I like the way she cooks
I hope she likes the way that I cook too.
And we have Christmas dinner each year
And we have Christmas dinner each year
Chorus:
And we’re just doing alright
And we’re just doing alright
I hope your alright too
I hope your alright too

March mellow on down the road
hold our eyes and every where we go
broken by intercepted
transmitting disease
A Death ray in me
stuck below a rhinos horn
I’m so messed up and so forlorn
breaking backs inside the pit
a showcase for the deaf
a buildings all thats left
wishing we had met
Placate a planet inside
I place the sun and the rain
Parade a criminal mind
it’s better now we’re here
Stay with me and make it right
stay with me on through the night
Stay with me and tell me, Tell me I’m your mars
A Jupiter with scars
Stay with me and make it right
stay with me on through the night
Stay with me and tell me, Tell me I’m your mars
Jupiter and scars.
Placate a planet inside
I place the sun and the rain
Parade a criminal mind
it’s better now we’re here
Placate a planet inside
I place the sun and the rain
Parade a criminal mind
it’s better now its time.

You got a way to love me baby you got the light in your eye
One is for love the other for money honey you don’t realize
Come on baby
I can get off almost every night, she dont see it alive
Tell your mom, you aint got nothing honey, you wont be alright
Now come on baby
When you got nothing to lose
When you got nothing to lose
Well I got nothing to lose
Back of the bar, want to get money honey
You can’t see me arrive
The back of the bar, the back of my car girl
I will eat you alive
Now come on baby
Alright
She would go out, almost every night
You can take it alright
Don’t tell your mom
Don’t tell your dad
We’re gonna make it alright
Now come on baby
Alright
When you got nothing to lose
Well I got nothing to lose
When you got nothing to lose
Well I got nothing to lose
You and me baby, your soul to eat
You and me baby are found
You and me baby, a losing streak
You and me baby are found
You and me baby
A losing streak
Now cuff me up and let me back out
Now come on baby
Alright
When you got nothing to lose
Well I got nothing to lose

We were born in a half built town, with stones and led in our eyes
I’m not concerned with what you think
you know we’re all gonna die
Mom and Dad did the best that they could
Raised up Caine, the pain, the glory and good
Drive me down to the beach, or meet me after the show
Don’t wanna meet your friends, hide it til’ it blows
Scenester kids trying hard to compose
Silence is the only thing anyone knows
Hows the paycheck
Hows the rat race
you Hungry for more
Hows the paycheck
Hows the rat race
You looking to score
Your mama said he was gone, parade of dead ends and booze
Your names on his tattoo, it said we’re gonna lose
“Where’s the vow”, she said she wanted an end
Drain me down, until I’m empty again
Hows that paycheck
Hows the rat race
Are you Hungry for more
Hows that paycheck
Hows the rat race? Your all just looking to score
I’d rather pack it up

Castle Pines
My dad got work in a factory, my siblings died, maybe three
Moved to a house up on a hill
Mother bled out and we ate pills
drank too much, pickled the brine
numb the thought rat race line
cutting our heads, we were hung by the spine
we were kosher kids, we left behind.
A simple life, hard to find,
folks don't die the neighbors are kind.
lost our home, bright bomb war
sewed our eyes barred the door
We were taking ten naps, we were in the kind
of block party sleep, sleep all the time
We were in relapse, bright like a dime
living bliss, we were losing our minds.
Reading treasure maps, We were in our prime
of block party sleep, we would sleep all the time
In a potters field, they say Judas lost his mind
Oh Jesus Christ, I wanna be just fine
wanna feel just fine
Reading treasure maps, We were out on the crime
of block party sleep, we would sleep all the time
In a potters field, they say Judas lost his mind
Oh Jesus Christ, I wanna be just fine
wanna feel just fine
We were reading God’s word, we were searching for the signs
You say your “Folks don't lie” we were spilling our wine
I miss my home, and I miss not lying
I miss my face and I miss not crying
I miss my house and I miss not crying
I miss my house and I miss not lying
I miss my house and I miss not crying
I miss my home
