I Got Tired 03:59
I got tired and then I quit I haven't seen the last of it I got tired and then I quit I haven't seen the last of it Never old and never young Another chance to bite my tongue Every weekend it's the same But we don't call it out by name The world comes grinding to a halt And I just swear it's not my fault I got tired and then I quit I haven't seen the last of it Cities fall and wars are won What's said is said, done is done Every weekend it's the same But we don't call it out by name The world comes grinding to a halt And I just swear it's not my fault I got tired and then I quit I haven't seen the last of it Never old and never young Another chance to bite my tongue Will you bolt, my friend If you find me stuck in my ways

Witch Hunt 03:39
There's no way to become it When this thing becomes you So live how you want it Just like you own it You can be the better man You don't have to feel a thing It's what the witches do And it's what you can do We all make excuses We get lost in the crowd What your big mistake was You let them protect you

Baby Brother 02:41
My baby brother got swept out to sea My baby brother got swept out to sea And all I can think of is what he'll never see All I can think of is what he'll never see He never fought when the ocean took him He let the waves crash and carry him in He raised up his sail and just left with the wind He raised up his sail and left with the wind But many years later on my side of the sea I got a letter he had written to me He's seen many things that I'll never see He's seen many things that I'll never see

Gone are the days when you won't run away How long is too long and when will you stay? The doors are locked with boards and nails, my love Your teeth and your nails, they are all that you've got Your tail's in your legs when you learn what you're not The doors are locked with boards and nails, my love Warm up the car first and I won't complain The bankers and lawyers, they all sound the same The lines are cut and numbers fail, my love The doors are locked with boards and nails, my love My love Gone are the days when you won't run away Gone are the days when you won't run away Gone are the days when you won't run away Gone are the days when you won't run away

All my heart and all my soul I see your face in every one I know I'm all tucked in, come share my blood You left me here with this, my one true love It's all yours My everything I'll give it all, my molecules to you I'll rot away, just come back soon I wish it were you that were me and me that were you I'll leave my soul Sell all my gold I'll give it all, my molecules to you You can burn my skin You can have me whole Molecules to you Girl, it could be you If you only want it to I'll stand all day and wait for you The world can melt away Molecules to you All my heart and all my soul I see your face in every one I know I'm all tucked in, come share my blood You left me here with this, my one true love Molecules to you My molecules to you

Woods 03:03
I spent too many years by myself I spent too much time by myself I spent too many years by myself I spent too much time by myself I spent too much time by myself I spent too many years all alone Way out in the woods all alone Way out in the woods by myself I spent too much time by myself I spent too much time all alone Way out in the woods all alone Way out in the woods by myself In these woods, the vines and the swamp In these mountains deep in the south I am headed to a shallow grave In these woods, I'm wasting away (enough of this shit) I spent too much time by myself I spent too many years all alone I am headed to a shallow grave In these woods, I'm wasting away I spent too much time by myself I spent too many years all alone Way out in the woods all alone Way out in the woods by myself

No Reminder 04:37
I don't need no reminder I don't need no reminder 'Cause if I told you once before, I shouldn't have to remind you again A low-life, lonesome addict, dressed-up, hushed and stepping on toes A used-up, old-hat run-off you could find with your eyes closed I don't need no reminder 'Cause if I told you once before, I shouldn't have to remind you again I'm all ears, mediocre at best Throw more wood on the fire, honey, get it off your chest I'm stale and gray, I'm all or none I'm in it for the long haul, until you're done No reminder I don't need no reminder I don't need no reminder 'Cause if I told you once before, I shouldn't have to remind you again

Broken Money 02:08
10.
We didn't ask for this We didn't beg for this But here we are You're gonna live real long You're gonna live real long Keep singing, "Me. Me. Me. Me. Me." You're gonna live real long But the dogs will sniff you out You scream and scream and shout: "Me. Me. Me." "I'm gonna live real long." One man singing another man's song
