Hermit Ways 05:56
lyrics
buy track
Damn, my hermit ways Damn, my hermit ways Don’t roll up your jeans Because it’s cold out And it’s not The mice in the walls And it’s not The apartment halls I got no plan coming Prayers half way to working But one again I am saved by the rain Once again I am saved by the rain Thought about starting over, but my mind has changed Once again I am saved by the rain Pray you never change Pray you stay the same Don’ forgive a thing Cause it’s easier that way And it’s not The mice in the walls And it’s not The apartment halls I got no plan coming Prayers that just aren't working But one again I am saved by the rain Once again I am saved by the rain Thought about starting over, but my mind has changed Once again I am saved by the rain I just wanna let you go I wish i was in control Don’t waste the day away, I said

View from the window Springsteen on the stereo I'm always coming out of this one anew Scratch my wounds and grit my teeth Kid myself cause honestly Hey, wait you were supposed to love me tonight Down on your luck, give me a try And I Will love you for tonight You were off in a hurry half past 9:30 And I find myself thinking about your leopard print dress Twitch my thumbs and shake my knee Kid myself cause honestly Hey, wait you were supposed to love me tonight Don't look down While I drink up Pull my sleeve down While I give up Hey wait you were supposed to love me for tonight I know its hard but give me a try I know youre gone but ill stay behind Hey wait you were supposed to love me for tonight

Cape Cod 2021 02:39
lyrics
buy track
Cape cod, 21 45 feet, I was 45 feet Screaming and gasping for air Oh god let go of me, let go of me Suddenly it was all dark I think to myself ‘OK OK, this is it’ Can’t believe it at all Can’t believe I got through all of that If I die No I cant think of that can’t think of that But I think of my wife and my kids Would you even be able to find me? Would you ever get to say goodbye Small fry The bends aren’t too no the ends aren’t too bad When you survived to tell the tale I floated there, could’ve sat all day, I was free Can’t believe it at all Can’t believe I got through all of that

Heat Shelter Song 03:56
lyrics
buy track
Im just a crab in a bucket Im a lobster in a tank Im a lamb to the slaugter Im a disorder lying in wait A grainy boat picture And I dont have a home When I look at this picture Reminds me of when I used to roam Now I sweat here so sadly And I don’t ask much From family You better leave me alone Granddaughter, I know It all breaks apart there aint nothing here pretty ive told ya life is unfair We keep drinking and breathing But do you know whats in there? I do believe in Omens this one could go either way difference between comfort And It getting warmer each day So I lay on the concrete While the sidewalks break up Youve probably seen the world ending You just didnt know it was done Granddaughter I know It all breaks apart

I Stepped on Something That's Already Dead 02:47
lyrics
buy track
I stepped on something that's already dead I stepped on something that's already dead Thought about saying something but I couldn't read between the lines in my head I stepped on something that's already dead Why is it you Why is it you Who commands me when to rise To cry And to lie It takes a sickly state of mind, to miss Brownsville skies You can't tell the difference Unless you see through these eyes I put my feet somewhere that I should've never tread And I stepped on something that is already dead I spent my time What more can be said I spent my time Wanting to be dead Tell me it's true Tell me it's true Oh just tell me it's true That you want me to join you

Northern Territory 04:24
lyrics
buy track
Open the window let the night air in Change the AM station still the static is deafening Give me those blues and ill make something new Am I supposed to crave this love I see Cause where I am we leave dogs like you to out to freeze Give me those blues and youll see what i can do Giving up on love was the best I could do Past the coal towns and cities and outposts and sadness Theres a big holy war between the cops and the bandits And you dont know a thing, a damn thing about this Like you know of that cold, youve been careful around it Trying to stay warm Wolves found their way into my home Wolves get their way to fetch the bone I might die here, not being known I might, I might die all alone I just want a way to rise from the grave

Utah 05:50
lyrics
buy track
He gets up at 4 o clock and he's heading down to Utah he likes to ride in carpool, though he's really all alone Take a second to watch the sunrise, close his eyes just for a mile He answers all the scam calls. It could always be from home Complains about price of gas these days Learns to hate these days Takes an Advil for his back, takes a shot to warm the mind The engines humming and he's off towards Santa Fe If he was a bolt of lightning he would travel through power lines If he wasn't a rolling stone maybe he could plant his old roots right here He's going, but he doesn't quite know where He's sitting in his motel and he's leaving his door open It's hot, and he's leaving the door open It's quiet, and he pours one out for hoping The great American railways Carry our garbage back and forth Smoke settles in the valley From fires far away Burn on
