Fever Dream

Live hand to mouth most every day
It's hard to save with bills to pay
Can't get ahead for too long
Can't get away from these songs
Can't get right what is wrong
Take what you need
Take all of me
Time won't relieve
All that we've seen in this fever dream
If dawns a loser, dusks a crutch
Old habits close enough to touch
I know they're calling out to you
We both know where those lead to
Keep your gaze set on the long-view
Take what you need
Take all of me
Time won't relieve
All that we've seen in this fever dream

Shipmate's Disease

Am I waxing or am I waning, tonight?
A tough nut to crack when you're high as a kite
And all roads lead back home
But that ain't where I want to go
Nobody's laughin'
Nobody's cryin'
Nobody's dreamin'
Nobody's tryin'
If time's a fabric, surely it will be stained
And if time's a knotty plank of pine
Surely it will be planed
Prize boar or aging sow
The difference makes no difference now
Nobody's laughin'
Nobody's cryin'
Nobody's dreamin'
Nobody's tryin'

Rust Belt (Fire+Smoke)
03:48
|

In the northeast twixt the take and give
Lies the rust belt where I used to live
And it's bleeding, like supper's pig
But no one minds
Winter's cold there and the summer sweats
Air weighs heavy with cheap regret
And it's drowning in a sea of debt
But that's alright
Rust belt fire, rust belt smoke
My forefathers perished there, but I won't
Misspent youth, never ever undone
My dreams are bound in stainless steel
But my past is rust
Most were born there and there they'll die
Got no dreams of a better life
Happy rotting like grapes on the vine
In a swelter
Down them shots, boys, throw them fists
Join them unions or go enlist
Ain't no living when you just exist
Then it's over
Rust belt fire, rust belt smoke
My forefathers perished there, but I won't
Misspent youth, never ever undone
My dreams are bound in stainless steel
But my past is rust

White Trash Romantic

My head is an ocean without any shore
And my heart is a bedroom without any door
You can sleep on the floor
Who could ask for more?
Allow me to confess
It's so simple, it's nearly complex
Maybe I'm just white trash romantic
So who's gonna hold you now?
No, my love ain't made of elastic
There's only so much to spread around
And all God's children want to be saved
While I'm just strugglin' to keep the faith
My eyes seek what's comin' over the next hill
And my lips utter freedom as if it's a shill
A drop in the till towards a richer man's bill
Allow me to confess
It's so simple it's nearly complex
Maybe I'm just white trash romantic
So who's gonna hold you now?
No, my love ain't made of elastic
There's only so much to spread around
And all God's children want to be saved
While I'm just strugglin' to keep the faith
