Subtle Tribute

I keep wondering
Where you’ve been
All this time
I’m not sinning
No, I just pine
Pay no mind
If it’s still raining
Yeah, I’ll be fine
Just hold my life
Keep me dry
Chorus:
I just want to feel inside
A sense of being satisfied
All these thoughts to put behind
I can’t get you off my mind
I can’t get you off my mind
I feel sorry I can’t let go
Dead trees won’t grow
Well it’s still raining
But I can’t find
The worth to stay inside
It’s you I’m gonna find
Chorus:
I just wanna feel some pride
For a sense of humor I can’t hide
All these thoughts I can’t decide
Where my weary head should lie
Bridge:
Subtle tribute
If I fell through
If I fell through
Would I find you?
Chorus:
I just want to feel inside
A sense of being satisfied
All these thoughts to put behind
I can’t get you off my mind
I just wanna feel some pride
For a sense of humor I can’t hide
All these thoughts I can’t decide
Where my weary head should lie

Orphan Wells
03:30
|

|
I was a kid
So full of shit
Headed straight to hell
At the orphan wells
War of the worlds
Silence was yours
Ignorance is mined
Then bought and sold
Chorus:
Ignorance is mined
Then bought and sold x 2
I am a man
I think I understand
I’ve had my fill
At the orphan wells
Citizen Kane
You did it all in frame
We posit pain
And buy and sell again
Chorus:
We posit pain
And buy and sell again x 2
Bridge
Chorus:
Ignorance is mined
Then bought and sold x 2
We posit pain
And buy and sell again x 2

Stirring Absent Pots
03:38
|
|||
|
I wanna shine a light
Instead of shedding heat
I wanna feel alive
And tell it to the streets
I’ll tell it to myself
While I’m being somebody else
I wanna feel love
And pretend I have some friends
I wanna find a dove
And feel it at the end
I’ll steal it for myself
I won’t share with no-one else
Chorus:
All this time I thought
I was better off
Stirring absent pots
But I’m the one who’s hot
I wanna pick a fight
With the prick inside of me
I’ll stick him with a knife
I’ll tell ya that for free
I’ll deal with myself
I won’t talk to no-one else x 2
Chorus:
All this time I thought
I was better off
Stirring absent pots
But I’m the one who’s hot
Bridge
Chorus x 2:
All this time I thought
I was better off
Stirring absent pots
But I’m the one who’s hot

Anyone
02:44
|
|||
|
Everybody wants something
That I can’t give em
Yeah, they all want a little love
Or a little forgiving
I don’t want no thunder
But it’s all I’m finding
I just want a little sun
And to feel it shining
Chorus:
Sometimes I wish I couldn’t love anyone
Anyone
All my friends want nothing
But I still give em
All my songs & my little tales
Of how I’m living
Chorus:
Sometimes I wish I couldn’t love anyone x 2
Anyone
Every time I feel something
I know I’m just giving
All my love and my fading time
To the dead, not the living
Chorus:
Sometimes I wish I couldn’t love anyone x 3
Anyone

A Fool's Errand
00:58
|
|||
|
Happiness is a fool's errand
I shake the tree but nothing's coming
Happiness is a fool's errand
I shake the tree
Thoughts of what I'm taking
Can I give it back each day I'm waking?
I know I'm not forsaken
But saints are saints by Satan's making
Happiness is a fool's errand
I shake the tree but nothing's coming
Happiness is a fool's errand
I shake the tree

Meanie
03:41
|
|||
|
I’m gonna do what I wanna do
And I’m gonna say what I wanna say
I don’t care who I hurt
Cause I don’t hurt that way
I’m mean. I’m a meanie.
I’m gonna love who I want to love
Cause I don’t know what love means
And I will break your heart
In a thousand ways
Yeah I’m mean. I’m a meanie. I’m a meanie.
So someone lock me in this room
And throw away the key
Can someone set my house on fire
So I can’t leave - so I can’t leave
Cause I’m mean. I’m a meanie. I’m meanie. I’m a meanie.
I’m gonna look my best
And have smile from cheek to cheek
At a party that everyone left
There’s no one to dance with me

We Thanked God
04:15
|
|||
|
They say hell is hot
It’s the same up here
I can’t imagine what it’s like
Living down there
You called the cops
Cause you were scared
About some girls in the basement
Living in fear
Chorus:
When we lose someone
And we move on
Are they waiting?
Are they gone?
They were driving home
From Montreal
When the one with the head wound
Opened the door
But they were safe
So we thanked God
I can’t imagine what it’s like
To burn inside
Chorus:
When we lose someone
And we move on
Are they waiting?
Are they gone?
Bridge:
They say time can only suffer for truth
If you are timeless, then I’ll suffer for you
They say time is for the suckers & youth
If you are timeless, then I’ll suffer for you
Chorus:
When we lose someone
And we move on
Are they waiting?
Are they gone?
They say God is dead
You’d think they’d know
He’s up in heaven
Having a smoke
He’s just the same as them
He’s trying to get by
He can’t imagine what it’s like
To want to die

On Again
03:02
|
|||
|
I’m not myself today
But I’m feeling okay
My big brother would say
“It’s so hard to find a way”
I’m sick of the some might says
I just wanna find my place
I’m so sorry to say
That I’m on the piss again
I’m so sorry to say
That I liked Wallen
I guess you can blame it on my friends
I’m so sorry to say I’ve gotta make amends
Chorus:
Gotta build you up
Gotta find you love
Gotta fill your cup
With something tough
Bridge:
Chorus:
Gotta build you up
Gotta find you love
Gotta fill your cup
With something tough

Clear In A Haze
04:14
|
|||
|
I’ve been wrong in the morning
I’ve been right in the day
So I pray in the evening
That I’m taken away
I’ve been loved in the sunshine
I’ve been loathed in the shade
So I pray to my demons
To keep me the same
Chorus:
And I tried in my heart to love
But I didn’t try hard enough
To rise above
I’ve been cheerful in mourning
I’ve been clear in a haze
So I pray to the heathens
To sing me praise
Chorus:
And I tried in my heart to love
But I didn’t try hard enough
To rise above
Bridge:
I’m suddenly certain of what I am not
I’m giving up something that I haven’t got x 2
Chorus x 2:
And I tried in my heart to love
But I didn’t try hard enough
To rise above

Peace Or Violence
03:17
|
|||
|
I haven’t written in a while
I’ve not been bitten for some time
I’m the type to force a couple smiles
But I wanna bare my fuckin teeth
Chorus:
So don’t say nothing to me
I’ve got two options: violence or peace
Of all the states freedom can take
Something tells me you’re not okay
I haven’t seen it in a while
All gods well hidden in a flag
We’re type to burn another’s file
It’s keeps us warm so we throw it in the flame
Chorus:
So don’t say nothing to me
I’ve got two options: violence or peace
Of all the states freedom can take
Something tells me you’re not okay
Bridge:
Chorus:
So don’t say nothing to me
I’ve got two options: violence or peace
Of all the states freedom can take
Something tells me you’re not okay

Ophelia
05:57
|

I used to ride by your house
Down the old country road
Where I almost lost my life
I thought I was invincible
I was leaving my best friend's
When his mom drove by with pizza
When she heard the crash
I was screaming Ophelia
I was screaming Ophelia
As we got older
Well you did more than most
The feeling's got bolder
And you deserved a toast
Your boyfriend knew the band
I had seen him around
When he laid his eyes on you
He was so proud
He was so proud
When you were driving down the road
You couldn't have known
That the asphalt was slick
From the December snow
Now I'm at your funeral
The budding actor is called
To be cast in a vampire flick
And I am appalled
I was screaming Ophelia x 2
Well I didn't know
But I found out
The place where you died
Was just down by your house
About a few hundred feet
From where his mom found me
In the ditch bleeding out
Cause I was so so proud
I was screaming Ophelia
