White Creatures
Go work it off
Go alone
The wind hits you full force when you run up the hill
Hold on to your cracked skull
You can feel pain after all
No short way out
Not for you
You pledge loyalty to nature and spirit
You pray to life and your family
And you’re grateful in your soul
It’s all that you have left
You are what they got out of you
You became what you deserved
You’re always drawn to the sea
It’s where you find patience and strength
The blessing to feel
You drift off to sleep among friends
And eventually you let go of your fears
You’re grateful in your soul
They’re all that you have left
You are what they got out of you
You became what you deserved
Tension reoccurs at the sight
Go pace along the shore and watch the swell grow
Wait for the sun to rise and feel humble in your skin
Rest and let it ease your mind
White creatures looking after me
Oh-ooh I lost faith in the human I wanted to be
Oh open black sea let me in
Oh giant trees give me shelter in that haunted place
White creatures looking after me
Oh-ooh I lost faith in the human I wanted to be
Oh open black sea let me in
Oh giant trees give me shelter in that haunted place
White creatures looking after me
Oh-ooh I lost faith in the human I wanted to be
Oh open black sea let me in
Oh giant trees give me shelter
White creatures never leaving me
Always with me
The Core
Your body is a ghost town
Ground fog climbing up your skin
You can’t feel anything
You can’t feel anything else
Hostile
Your head is a crowded nest
Lice crawling over your face
You can’t see anything
You can’t see anything else
Misted glass
Oh you got a reckless mind
High speed
Eyes closed in the middle of the road
You can’t hear anything
You can’t hear anything else
There’s just that hum
Oh you got a vicious heart
Feign love
Fade away like rain at night
You can’t trust anything
You can’t trust anything else
But distance
Everyone everyone can see you choke
When the world is out of focus
And like a growth you conceived it
I’m serious I do not understand how this keeps happening
You wish you’d be shaking like you used to
But your core is so still
You wish you’d be shaking like you used to (mmmh)
You wish you’d be shaking like you used to
But your core oooh
Another darkness to live through
Take Stock of What I Have
As my mind darkens
I take stock of what I have
Stare
Stare at my palms and count my limbs
Two arms and two legs
Wipe the car window clean
The ghosts are dancing
Just as they were when I was fifteen and the walls would bend
Now drown out the howling
It’s not what you think
Please no don’t follow the riddles
They’ll lead you to strange places in your head
Crawl
Crawl my way back
For I don’t know where’s up or where’s down anymore
The ghosts are dancing
Just as they were when I was fifteen and the walls would bend
Now drown out the howling
It’s not what you think
The ghosts are dancing
Just as they were when I was fifteen and the walls would bend
Now drown out the howling
It’s not what you think
Pure
It’s all over town that you’re alone now
Ridin’ home you can see the pure white mountains from here
It’s all over town that you’re the leaving one
You don’t believe
You don’t believe
You will ever come back
You tell me you have changed
But you’re always scared and never proud of the beds you shared
Diving deep down to the seabed
Holding your breath to get the throb out of your head
You tell me you’re all set but you’re never okay
Always looking for the hard way
Diving deep down to the seabed
Holding your breath to get the throb out of your head
So you tell me you don’t care about love
But you’re still here standing in the kitchen door
Sitting on the entrance floor
Asking me why try over again
Oh you adore me
It’s all over town that you’re alone now
Ridin’ home you can see the pure white mountains from here
It’s all over town that you’re the leaving one
You don’t believe
You don’t believe
You will ever come back
You don’t even know why
You don’t even know why
You don’t even know why
It’s all over town that you’re alone now
You don’t believe
You don’t believe
You will ever come back
Did you try your hardest
Oh did you try
You don’t know what is there
What is there
What is there to hold on to
In Case I Fall For You
In case I fall for you
Will you burn all boats behind you and hit the road with me?
And as we pull through
Two partners in crime
We settle down in Alabama and pretend we’re free from fear
In case I provoke you to fury
Will you play the husky voice card and show me that our love can heal?
And as we live the life of Riley
Will our browntanned skin and the wind up the hills keep at bay all our demons within?
Oh I think I love you
Once again an old flag was blown away
Oh I think I’m in love
In love with you
Nowhere else will I find peace but when I’m with you
In case I fail to remain true to you
Will you say we are meant to be and that’s why you won’t leave?
And as I slash your devoted heart
Will you put up with him being next to me?
‘Cause that’s how love’s supposed to be
Or will you walk out of the tale I really wanted to be real?
Oh I think I love you
Once again an old flag was blown away
Oh I think I’m in love
In love with you
Nowhere else will I find peace but when I’m with you
Oh I think I love you
Once again an old flag was blown away
Oh I think I’m in love
In love with you
Nowhere else will I find peace but when I’m with you
My Dear
My dear you have to learn that we all are sitting in the same boat
My dear you have to know that we all are feeling so alone like you
We could pack our things and go
We could pack our things and go right now
Oooohh
My dear you have to see that you can still become what you want be
And my dear you have to go when you don’t feel like it’s a place to grow
You can turn your back and go
You can turn your back and go right now
Oooohh
My dear you have to know that we all don’t have anything under control
My dear I need to say that we all think that you’re a runaway
My dear I need to say that we all think that you’re a runaway
My dear I need to say that we all think that you’re a runaway
You’re afraid you wave and go
You’re afraid you wave and go right now
Oooohh
Big Mouth
Oh today I won’t be thinkin’ about you
I’ll get by on someone else's love
Oh today you won’t be hearing from me cause I am high on music
I’m nowhere within reach for you
Oh today I’ll push away my tears
And I’ll watch you wash beer into your big
Your big mouth
I’m standing on the balcony
And I can hear you sweet talk her into making out with you
Oh I can’t believe you got through and broke my heart in two
Time and again
Now the skies are dark and I won’t ever feel the same
Well not for you
I’m feeling blue and the world is coal
Man I don't know you anymore but go on all night
