The Optometrist 01:59
lyrics
buy track
Your friends all say you're the man, but they don't really believe And the paupers and the princes will never kneel at your feet 'Cause you're really nothing more than a thief You're really nothing more than a thief Hell, look at you now with all your fine instruments You may be the cream of the crop, but you're no one I'd ever like to meet You're despicable in the eyes of every patient you see 'Cause you're really nothing more than a thief And you can see it in their eyes What you've feared forever in your mind That the heavy weight of guilt Will destroy you from inside Your friends all say you're the man, but they don't really believe And the paupers and the princes will never kneel at your feet 'Cause you're really nothing more than a thief You're really nothing more than a thief

Lying to Myself 01:49

I've been lying to you I've been lying to myself I'm the evening news You're the working class I've robbed a lonely angel of her wings And I feel like shit You'll leave me in a gutter for love You'll leave me in a gutter for love

In Another Time 02:27
lyrics
buy track
There's a little voice in mind begging "please please please just throw it away" I've lost all power to keep it together, and there isn't any sign of relief In another time, I would've fought In another time, I wouldn't have lost In another time, I would've fought In another time, I wouldn't have lost Can't find any rest in sleep There's nothing here that could satisfy me But I'm afraid of what I'll have to do to find peace In another time, I would've fought In another time, I wouldn't have lost In another time, I would've fought In another time, I wouldn't have lost

Jarred Preserves 01:54

My mind will not keep like jarred preserves My heart will not beat forevermore For as body grows in age So do my fruits all go to waste This breath may be my very last My body may be a thing of the past

Beneath the Leaves 02:21
lyrics
buy track
Mary, you used to chase me around Back in those days we ruled the playground Our filthy hands, the second grade Nothing I did could keep you away Olly olly oxenfree, you'll never find me, Mary I'll lie beneath the leaves, and nature will disguise me Mary, where are you hiding? It seems like years since I've seen your face The day you left, I was crying I wish I was all just another game Olly olly oxenfree, I'll never find you, Mary You'll lie beneath the leaves, that's where our love is buried

Coward 00:39

So tell me if you find the heart To give yourself up to this coward And I will kiss you in the dark In the early morning hours In the early morning hours

First Christmas Eve 00:37
lyrics
buy track
There's a body in a box on the floor that belongs to our brother He went off to war, and they sent him home to stay It's the first Christmas Eve that he thought that he wouldn't see mother Well, I guess he was right, 'cause you can't see a thing when you're dead

Dogs 01:15
lyrics

I will lie down with the dogs And I will choke on my own blood before I wake 'Cause even the things you say to me Can't help me get along So I will lie down with dogs

The Medicine 02:35
lyrics
buy track
Lord, if you're out there Take me in your arms I'm begging for forgiveness For all my sins so far Once I was mistaken I thought that I was free I ran with the demons Now they're running after me Call me Judas, call me Cain I have gone astray But the medicine doesn't help the pain I've been to a place few would dare to go Never once looked in a mirror Never called that place a home The desert made me meaner And the city made me rich But the women made me weaker And the drugs made me sick Call me Judas, call me Cain I have gone astray But the medicine doesn't help the pain But the medicine doesn't help the pain

The Man Who Loves 02:04
lyrics
buy track
Turn your wandering eyes From the man who loves you Don't try to change his mind 'Cause he'll take you, and he'll leave you behind So turn those wandering eyes From the man who loves you Turn your wandering eyes From the man who loves you Don't try to change his mind 'Cause he'll take you, and he'll leave you behind
