In Flanders Fields 03:49
lyrics
buy track
We are the Dead Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. In Flanders fields the poppies grow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below We are the Dead Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields We are the Dead Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields the poppies grow Between the crosses row on row

Long Way Home 03:47
lyrics

Always wait til I’m too damn tired Then I try to set the night on fire Only wind up burning myself instead And mama said don’t play with matches Don’t touch the pan before the batch has cooled down But it only makes me wanna do it more Everytime I try to carve my own path It winds up the same just another Vietnam bloodbath And I don’t wanna take the long way home I don’t wanna take the long way home I don’t wanna take the long way home Anymore, anymore I build my house out of straw and cards And complain when I wake up in the yard I’m getting used to the ground by now but it’s still not that comfortable There’s pain that comes and goes with the tide And there’s pain that made of my own design Little by little by I’m starting to tell the difference It’s a game of madness You get so numb you even start to miss the sadness And I don’t wanna take the long way home I don’t wanna take the long way home I don’t wanna take the long way home Anymore, anymore The bartender pours the drink on Saturday The priest pours another the very next day I don’t really know what I’m trying to say but The more I drink the more I sink And the hours pass into days and weeks And God just listen to me speak You know I’m starting to think There’s gotta be some better way Besides the backstreets and the alleyways Don’t you think babe? And I don’t wanna take the long way home I don’t wanna take the long way home I don’t wanna take the long way home Anymore, anymore

Waves 05:38
lyrics

Take my hand and hold it one last time One look in your eyes, before they hit high tide One last time And the sadness is really what gets to me You take your pills, and I take this bittersweet This bittersweet Another wave knocks me down Another wave knocks me down I tried my best to keep your waters calm So pretty and peaceful before each storm came on Til the storm came on They say a captain must go down with his ship, But we’ve sunk so many times, I’ve had enough of it I’m making a run for it Another wave knocks me down Another wave knocks me down Another wave knocks me down, down Tears are rolling down your face Off your bed and down the staircase Pretty soon this whole town will be under Through your front door, finally I’m out The pale white moon shines like a lighthouse, Just like a lighthouse I’ll always miss the way your saltwater tastes, Filling my lungs, as I let your waves break Soaking the pillowcase Another wave knocks me down Another wave knocks me down Another another another Another wave knocks me down Waves knock me down Waves knock me down Waves knock me down Waves knock me down Another wave knocks me down Another wave knocks me down, down

Help 03:30
lyrics

I’ve tried the latest self help lies, I’ve tried to hypnotize myself And I’ve tried to drown the others out, I took the rabbit hole down I think I need a little help been stranded out here by myself On a ledge about to fall there must be someone I can call I think I need a little help All of the voices in my head, they’re saying that they want me dead Tell myself that I’m not deranged, legally mentally insane, As I tie myself to the tracks of a train I think I need a little help been stranded out here by myself On a ledge about to fall there must be someone I can call I think I need a little help I’m running low on mental health I feel the hammer in my brain, slowly driving me insane I think I need a little help Shadows and a creaking sound I turn the corner in my house The pulse is speeding in my heart I light a candle in the dark Feels like something’s closing in I turn around I finally see it my reflection, The whole time it was me I think I need a little help been stranded out here by myself On a ledge about to fall there must be someone I can call I think I need a little help I’m running low on mental health I feel the hammer in my brain, slowly driving me insane I think I need a little help Don’t say that I’m a hopeless case, Don’t leave me out here on my own Don’t say that I’m a hopeless case, Don’t leave me I think I need a little help

Way Down Inside You 07:09
lyrics

Your stony silence It just divides us Your sullen words Don’t Justify This You twist the knife, just to see How to grind the gears inside of me Your pale and weak On the edge of madness You paint your face To hide the virus You say that I, that I’m the cure That no one else can make you pure Who, is gonna tame you Is gonna tame you Now that you, now that you’re running wild Now that you’re running wild Shoot my love from a gun You crawl and you run But the more that you tie it It just comes undone into two ‘Cause my love is way down inside you All the times I’ve tried and I’ve tried and I’ve tried To be your perfect punching bag When you’re caresses were more like jabs Don’t you know I already gave you all my loving Who, is gonna tame you Is gonna tame you Now that you, now that you’re running wild Now that you’re running wild Shoot my love from a gun You crawl and you run But the more that you tie it It just comes undone into two ‘Cause my love is way down inside you No matter where you go No matter where you run You can find another man But my love will always be Way down inside you Way down inside you Way down inside of you (I put my love, my love, my love, my love) Way down inside you Way down inside you Way down inside of you (I put my love, my love, my love, my love) Way down inside you Way down inside you Way down inside of you (I put my love) Way down inside you Way down inside you Way down inside of you Way down inside you Way down inside you Way down inside of you Way down inside you Way down inside you Way down inside of you No matter where you go My love will always be Way down inside you
