The Devil And His Son (free) 02:49
You let the devil and his son into your home you gave them bread, you gave them blood and now they won't leave you alone. They walk around these streets like they're their own. You will ask for them to leave, but they will always say no. They'll say no. They'll crush you with their teeth and sink their horns oh so deep into your veins and leave you crawling back for more, back for more. You let the devil and his son into your home you gave them bread, you gave them blood and now they won't leave you alone. They walk around these streets like they're their own. You will ask for them to leave, but they will always They'll always say no. They'll say no. They will always say no.

Gone Wrong 02:25
Well I heard you've been livin' in the spotlight Your eyes are bloodshot and your skin is pale white You've been searching this crowd for a nightlight Someone to make you feel safe as you sift through the highs Been growin' out your beard and gettin in fist fights Keepin' the kids entertained, wither away on the side of the stage. Well you've been laughin' like a jackal in the streetlight But your conscience sleeps tight, hope your mind is alright Don't go crazy on me But don't slow it down The kids won't like how that sounds How it looks or how it tastes in their mouths How it looks or how it tastes. Well you've been swayin' back and forth inside a bottle Always screamin' at the waves, as if they have something to Say to you. Here's to all that smoke that you blew in my direction Fuck you. Another child trapped inside of a man Hope you find someone to blame First you consort with them then piss on their grave Think your life's cut against the grain But you spend each night trapped in the same place Hey, next time, find a more clever way to spit in my face.

Well she sits on display Pin up personal hopes from the centerfold page Contemplate She's a vision of lust at such a fragile age This decay Fits so comfortably in with her daily trend But keep an optimistic head For this will work out in the end Her morals will get the best of her She's got it all figured out But she's only eighteen now So we'll dance to the night That we set that fire inside Her heart now set in stone Oh baby please don't go Well she spits in the face Of every man growing down To a boy never put in his place Nothing more than a fake He crawls to his closet and waits He's ashamed of his name Each and every admirable social affair is now washing away Being replaced By the emptiest plate And the stiffest drink he can take Call me names But don't be mad or sad, curse the world For the world is to blame He thinks he's got it all figured out Thinks his life is as bad as he makes it sound So we'll dance to the night She put out that fire inside His heart, now set in stone He knows she's not his baby anymore.

Well I asked my friendliest neighbor To retrace a few years back in my shoes And to do for me some of the things That he swore he'd do for you And he said you've racked up quite some debt And you've developed a nasty curse It hangs on your head each and every day And it's only gettin' worse And he asked, "Do you really wanna join that fate?" And I said, "I want nothing more," "I would gladly carry that burden If it would provide me the pleasure I've been searchin' for" All my life, all my life, all my life long We've all been livin' in The excess of our youth And we hide from the crippling burden That our lives are being consumed We stare at the broken housewife Cleaning dishes that have not been used As her kids run off to college And her man drinks away his blues But I swear I won't be that man I know I won't be that man Whoa Oh Or maybe I will. All my life, all my life, all my life long.

Lighthouse 02:44
We'll capture and crucify the king But get killed in the crossfire Hopefully my remains Will find a way back Back to the basement I call home Before noon so my friends can all get stoned And don't worry cause' I'll deal with the holy ghost Once I finally find some time to die Oh, it's time to die Maybe not tonight But I know it's time I've still got more mind to waste Can't fuckin' find my keys I, I guess I had it comin' I've still got more nights erased Than I could care to think or speak about But I do it anyway. I wanna live in a lighthouse singin' songs To the neighboring sailors as they count on me To guide them home To guide them back To the wives and the lives they left behind They're much happier at sea Singin' songs about whiskey and dreadin' the light That brings the ground back under their feet I've still got more mind to waste Can't find my fuckin' keys I, I guess I had it comin' I've still got more nights erased Than I could care to think or speak about But I do it anywaaaaaaaaaaay. Like it's my job, my cause, my life.
