Superior Court Love Song

My better self met up with my bad side
In an alley, got kicked in the teeth
And left for dead.
So it’s obvious I’m sorry.
So it’s obvious I’m so full of shit.
And I know I ain’t wearing no halo.
And I know I’ve gone too low.
But if you could see yourself through my eyes
You’d know, there are no lies, there are no lies
When I tell you about how I surely want you
To myself, I surely want you and no one else.
Now that I’m out, do I get my big chance?
Now that I’m out, do I have any chance?
Cause if you could see yourself through my eyes
You’d know, there are no lies, there are no lies
When I tell you about how I surely want you
To myself, I surely want you and no one else.

The vegetable man, he talks of drought
The woman thinks you might follow her out
The summer sun probably votes Republican
The brown recluse never gets any fun
We drove my car into your hometown
I smiled at a man with such a major frown
I said this could be anywhere
You said yes but this is where I was born
I said it looks like a pretty sorry hometown
You said, Aw come on now
I can name about 40 things you do
Or I might simply choke your neck.
I got some land. It’s good property.
I got a white fence. I got a lot of trees.
I married young. And what’s so wrong with that?
I got half of everything, half of everything.
I got half of everything, half of everything.
Just watch, this will be the time I lose.
I’ll be stuck without fuel, without food.
I bought the prepper’s guide to the end times
Such an arsenal at the cul de sac.
Such a good friend, he ain’t never coming back
There’s only peace in looking back
This world will fall apart
Don’t you love it anyway, love it anyway?
There’s only peace in looking back
This world will fall apart
Don’t you love it anyway, love it anyway?
I’m gonna fill my cup I’m gonna settle down
I’m gonna look at the sky I got a feeling now
There were complications
But I sorted them out
I looked myself in the eye
It was just some guy
Feeling like he was something
Feeling like he was right
He was medicated that particular night
He was filled up on something
He was filled up on something
Really thought he saw something
Really thought he saw something
This world will fall apart
Don’t you love it anyway, love it anyway?

Submarine On Land

I’m gonna tell you now
Worst case is here
There’s truth in rumors
New blood in town
Your time is up
You’re gone but still here
Pulled down the hatch and you sunk down below
Submarine on land just how deep can it go
Pocket full of all that you could grab
Thinking of the sweetness in all that you had
You changed your hair
You beat me to the chair
You said you’d lost it
But you’re doing better now
And your eyes are on your menu
And your care is elsewhere
Pulled down the hatch and we sunk down below
Submarine on land just how deep can it go
Pocket full of all that I could grab
Thinking of the sweetness in all that you had
Every dream is just a trick
There is no house, there is no brick
But these are my knuckles on your door
And this is your porch
And there’s a table
And there are plates on it
You’ve got a son
You’ve got a son

A Spread Of Wealth
03:32

I don’t know if you’ll help me
But I know you’ll help yourself
To everything on this table
This is such a spread of wealth
You better tell that man he’s out in public
He better shut it, he better shut it
You better tell that man he’s out in public
He better shut it, he better shut it
Oh God, that’s me tonight
That’s me tonight
That’s me tonight
Friends, I have sent you
Another message, go check your inbox
Maybe I’ve threatened myself again
To check and see if you’re still my friend
What’s this about prosecution
How did that get in your eyes
Something with really fierce claws
Scratched me in the night
I don’t know if I love you
Now that you hurt me so
Please tell me if I am the joke
The joke, the joke, the joke
Why do I have these dreams
They don’t make a bit of sense?
Why do I help you out
You don’t make a lick of sense?
You tunneled, you prison escapee
Through the concrete of my heart
You tunneled, you prison escapee
Through the concrete of my heart
I don’t know if I love you
Now that you hurt me so
Please tell me if I am the joke
I don’t know if you’ll help me
But I know you’ll help yourself
To everything on this table
This is such a spread of wealth

Today I awoke to campfire smoke
Curling around this tent
I had a dream out in the wild
I had a house and you were in it
We had a life, just beginning
We were rolling in money
I was wholesome, even funny
There’s the water, I’m going in
I’m going in to that water
There’s my life. I found a friend
I found a friend, but she won’t bother
Can I say what you want to hear
Can I play something in tune
Can I speak and not repeat
All the lines, all the lines
You know by heart
The national anthem of the stupid
In my heart
I woke up, decided to go downtown
Are you around?
I should clean up
I should clean up myself
But what’s the point of that now?
I woke up, decided to go downtown
Are you around?
I should clean up
I should clean up myself
Will you show me how?
I washed in the river
I wanted more than reflection
Not just me, I was lonely
Can’t you hear me calling
Calling you, calling you
I got tricked by a dream
I don’t want to dream
I got tricked by a dream
In my dream, you were there
Can I say what you want to hear
Can I play something in tune
Can I speak and not repeat
All the lines, all the lines
You know by heart
The national anthem of the stupid
In my heart

Our hopes were high
But what do we do with you?
You’re not gone yet
But it sure seems like you’re through
Just pay me something
At least with your eyes
Just pay me something
Or I don’t think I can try
Anymore
I’m storing all your life in the cloud
I’m saving all your life in the cloud
They’re so many of you now
I don’t even know this town
He’s got sawdust in his mouth friend
How can you fix him?

The Shooting That Wasn't
04:25

They cut a road right through his place
And he carried it in his face
Plate of rebellion on his truck
To tell everyone he don’t give a …
Time, it always tells
Divisions of all our cells
And it was such a pretty picture
Before all the machinery arrived
He told his son he had paperwork
To show everything and its worth
Don’t tell me I got nothing to say
I sure as hell got something to say
He said his son played in that dirt
He was just a little squirt
And he’ll sue you
And he’ll sue your ass
And he’ll sue you
And you won’t be so fast
And the calvary on his side
Came to him late one night
Told him he had every right
Told him he had every right
So he took it into his hands
Said this is how you be a man
Gonna’ make a dangerous plan
Gonna’ carry out my plan
He said God I’m here
God I’m here, now I’m here
God I’m here
And the day it finally came
All the buildup in his brain
The key to the ignition
The symbol of his intention
And the motor was running
He was no one’s son then
And the truck was on its way
Gonna’ be one of those days
He said I’m so alone
I’m so alone
God I’m here now
And he came upon a store
Stopped to think just a little more
And the girl who had ice cream
Said this is pretty good ice cream
They cut a road right through his place
He carried it in his face
Plate of rebellion on his truck
To tell everyone he don’t give a …fuck

Strange House
04:56

Sometimes I’m all right
Sometimes I’m alone
Sometimes I got work to do
Sometimes I got none
And since you turned out so sorry
I’ll just pretend you’re here
lie here and pretend you’re near
lie here until I care to talk
And you were the full moon
In my life, I was a fool
How strange this house
has become
One day it will vanish
No so overwhelmed
But that’s a long way off
On the mountaintop
A man with a telescope
He thinks he’s closer to the stars
My brother he was something to see
I thought the world of him
I thought the world of him
I thought the world of him
It was his medicine
It was his medicine
It was his medicine
Did him in
And you were the full moon
In my life, I was a fool
How strange this house
has become
Do you know about the picture?
Do you know what it means?
Did you ever tell your sister?
Did you sign the thing they said to sign?
What did they find?
What did they find?
What did they find?
And you were the full moon
In my life, I was a fool
How strange this house
has become

The Snow

Now that we've joined them
Let me share the new rules
Your longitude and latitude can be tossed out
There are certain things you'll have to do
But when you're loved in such a special way
You'll gladly give up your everything
And your eyes will hold such a calm glow
And your heart more full than you've ever known
And our harvest will be true this year
And our walls will hold off the hordes
And stars will shine over long nights
When we wait with our spears
And we're all right
Now that you've had a son
Let him know the new rules
His attitude and mouth can be washed out
There are certain things he'll have to do
But when he's loved in such a special way
He'll gladly sacrifice his everything
And his eyes will hold such a wild glow
When he walks with us toward the smoke
And of course he charged in with us
But it's not like I could hold his hand
And the chaos was more than you could understand
And the air was full of nails
Now that you've run away
Let me share the old rules
The compromise and treaties are tossed out
There are certain things I'll have to do
But you were loved in such a special way
And I know I gave you my everything
But your eyes were full of I don't know
And your touch could feel cold like snow
And on the hill you joined the tree limbs
In their stillness with ice on your arms
I found the mark you left on your skin
And your eyes held me cold like the snow, the snow
