I've been lying to my friends, saying that I'm fine I need food, but my belly's full of wine I lost my way, I lost the farm And Aunt Amy lost it all to the law's long arm I sure miss my sister Virginia She's been slinging green in Crested Butte Hold out girl, I know you got it in you Stand tall and let your look read resolute So can someone take me in I'm just a worn down firing pin Come and clean the carbon from my soul There's filth under my skin I've done all the deadly sins Just don't ask me my name and take me home I'm still getting used to having hair Yeah they kept us bald out in the desert air Coming under fire half the time we left the wire And came home with hate and thousand yard stares Me and my father, we don't speak And he wrote me a letter late last week Still ain't had the courage to open it just yet My heart just can't gamble on that bet So can someone take me in I'm just a worn down firing pin Come and clean the carbon from my soul There's filth under my skin I've done all the deadly sins Just don't ask me my name and take me home I'll scrape up some change, head for the barrel I don't feel quite so lonesome when I'm there We'll pipe out prost and pretend we're not in peril Just flashing smiles in the face of despair I just left my cousin a note I'm sorry if I don't wake is what it wrote This liver's just too tough, guess I did not take enough And I'm ashamed to have put him through that stuff So can someone fuck me up With your fists or with your drugs I've become a stranger to myself There's filth under my skin You don't want to know where all I've been My sorrows are a danger to my health So can someone fuck me up With your fists or with your drugs I've become a stranger to myself

Oh, To Hide 04:02
Anyone can tell you love is blind But it's only cause that old rule "eye for eye" This town is just too small so my tires burn You don't ever lose your girlfriend just your turn Without trying pretty eyes can ensnare you Got caught up on a girl named Sara So I struggled my way out into the snow Oh, to hide, please be kind Colorado Who says that beauty can't be bleak Me and my pride, we've been playing hide and seek My tires start to fade and my engine stalls And the mirror says the meanest things of all

Hey there, Sergeant, cover my six I'm bounding for the next house over Only eleven more months of this shit Hey, ain't this fun, playing soldier Ain't no cigarette taste so good As the one right after combat Hey 240's make your guns talk boys I need some suppressing fire Blind me with dust, bite me with fear I'm not unscathed but i'm still here Test my loyalty, weigh my worth Against this flesh we feed the earth Ain't no cigarette taste so good As the one right after combat
4.
Anchor 04:32
I'm not looking to fix things Just a fix of any kind Find me foul or foolish I'll be out of my mind Can't draw a full breath I can't feel my face Find me rude and reckless Don't break this embrace Be my anchor, stay on my line I think I've done too much this time Make sure that I'm breathing Please keep me awake Good god damn, how much did I take Am I chasing a buzz Or am I running from A piece of myself A flag on the shelf Can't pump the breaks This wasn't the plan There's never as much as I want Just as much as I can stand The uppers, the downers Prescriptions and gin The smokes and the powders The loss of a friend Be my anchor, stay on my line I think I've done too much this time Make sure that I'm breathing Please keep me awake Good god damn, how much did I take I didn't invite them, put that shit to bed Cocaine attracts more vultures than the dead Severe palpitations, the tearing of skin I collapsed onstage last night again

I've let the sun set 365 times With murder running deep in my heart And in those moments I didn't pull the trigger I sure as hell played my own part But you know that it's a snake eat snake world We slither and serpentine through Well we all took a bite and six thousand years later This apple's getting harder to chew But tonight, boys, we're eating like kings Cause we've all tasted death enough it seems Yeah tonight, boys, we're eating like kings Well it's been several years and a couple thousand sunsets Since I fired a rifle in rage A dozen leather couches and substance filled pouches I still can't seem to fully turn the page But you know that it's a snake eat snake world We slither and serpentine through Well we all took a bite and six thousand years later This apple's getting harder to chew But tonight, boys, we're eating like kings Cause we've all dined with death enough it seems Yeah tonight, boys, we're eating like kings
