late 03:38
well i met you when you were seventeen you were the meanest girl i'd ever seen you took a breath and you walked right up to me your perfect skin, covered in ink well you told me you'd steal me away from that other woman causing me pain from that moment until this day my heart was only yours to break it hurts to hear you say that it gets better every day i'm begging you to stay, but it's too late when i turned 33 i saw god himself looking straight at me he was trying to get me to see that if i didn't straighten up then you would leave it hurts to hear you say that it gets better every day i'm begging you to stay, but it's too late when i turn 36 all my problems by then i will have fixed until then i'll just take a few sips and try a little harder to give a shit it hurts to hear you say that it gets better every day i'm begging you to stay, but it's too late

regret 03:06
life in rural alabama things seemed so pristine you grew up and joined the army you were only seventeen pledged allegiance to the gospel of the dead presidents you would soon regret that promise and realize just what it meant are you evil, or are you heaven sent? are you searching for a god you can't comprehend? a perfect soldier hits his target here's a swift pat on the back a lucky child avoids the drone strike but that won't bring his sister back here's a medal, job well done boy We sure made a man of you you did good, you served your country we're so very proud of you are you evil, or are you heaven sent? are you searching for some god you can't comprehend? are you shocked to see the devil waging war on his own people? would it hurt more if it were your child hanging lifeless from the steeple?

I’ve been seeking revolution
 confusing those around me
 you’ve been seeking retribution 
a vengeance so astounding 

i wish i could crawl inside you 
make you feel more full
 but i will stay alive without you i know i always could
 cacophonous realizations 
imitations of beauty 
a brilliant manifestation?
 a temptation is intruding 

i wish i could crawl inside you 
 make you feel more full 
but i will stay alive without you 
i knew i always should
 
i pray for pain 
to leave this place
 i’ll walk away 
without a trace 

i wait for the day 
to transcend this place 
i pray i’ll stay or get washed away
 if you call me by name
 even after the fame would it still be the same? 
or not would it still be the same? 
 or not
 even after the pain 
 you sought 
even after the pain 
you brought

follow 02:44
where you lead me
 i will follow 
into the desert 
or drive through the snow 
across the ocean 
into the sky 
i’ll pull the fear out 
wipe tears from your eyes

 and if you leave me that pill i will swallow 
“not too impressive
 at the end of the road” 

i have transcended 
i am enlightened 
i will not die here 
i will survive where you lead me
 i will follow 
into the desert 
or drive through the snow 
across the ocean 
into the sky 
i’ll pull the fear out 
wipe tears from your eyes
