50 Lashes (free) 04:31
Rake me over a line of coals, throw me into the sea Barely able to thinkin’ of, when it’s over me I see an army in the darkness I can’t take more than fifty lashes Could you please just open the door When it’s too late to sell my gold, too late to be in control Barely able to pull my torn blanket over me Traded food for my destiny, then sold the food for my soul Sign confession, then drink it down, prophecy fulfilled

Marie Claire 03:01
Oh, Marie Claire Ambitious as the next working woman I could not be without my Marie Claire Tonight it’s almost time to make good On all your promises, that withstood my flaming tongue Tonight it’s almost time to make good On every lost cause, that seems to lumber on
3.
To Connect 04:02
I gloat, exactly like you want me to All my hope, it dashes on the rocky bank Wait, waiting for permission now For to walk If only to connect with you one day I gloat, exactly what you want me to Stumbled down, down into your lion’s den For to walk
4.
Unrobbed 03:10
Dirty dancing in your conscience Can’t stop shakin’ in my shoes Squeezing all my vacant discomfort When you left no bank unrobbed Dropped down to a place you forbode me Just before a perfect place Don’t bother stopping now, it’s a long one Because you left no bank unrobbed When face shots seem to be in abundance And powder deep up to your chest You stole my glass from the frontside and we ride Don’t bother stopping now, it’s a long one Don't bother waiting up for tonight Dropped down to a place you forbode me Because you left no bank unrobbed When face shots seem to be in abundance And powder deep up to your chest You stole my last chance at a front side Because you left no bank unrobbed

Riding the edge of the world, marm Back when the season had come I asked for you please not to run Why should I care what you do, marm I’m used to be made up a fool And I’m right on the edge of the world I’m feelin’ the weight of the world Twisted my arm for some girls The way you dig medicine pearl A whirlpool is draggin’ us both Under the continent-shelf I’d explore it with you in a second But I still can’t breathe underwater With or without you I wander Down through the streets paved with gold When it seems waves crashin’ hard And the undertow’s draggin’ me out Thunderstorms right on the way And this boy’s trying hard just to stay
6.
So Vapor 02:22
When your mind is at peace to let go To let go To let go So vapor The captive tries to break free
7.
Don’t stop loving me now ‘Cause I’m trying to forget my dreams of you Dreams of you Well I have no vision now And I still can’t feel my feet When I reach out with my hand The renewing of my mind is not here yet When you drew your sword on me Blew them kisses one, two, three Not a moment I regret ‘Cause the renewing of my mind is not here yet
8.
Cinder Cone 02:41
Cinder Cone We hold the spirit wars behind the cinder cone We all must die someday and serve the cinder cone What more could stretch across that divided me from you The molten lava flows all through the frightened town We all must run right now and hide from cinder cone

Dying Punch 03:15
Today I don’t feel like dyin’ It’s you I’ve been thinking of I know When it’s the truth I’m findin’ I always end up back with you I know She would not give herself as a sacrifice Den Enkelte Earth-born passions die out and one last punch left to throw Here I go
11.
Could you save me Because I’m in the way, spinning out of control Could it be that you’ve captured my soul Feel like I’m just about to lose all that I have And I need you to catch me when I fall
12.
Say Goodbye 03:25
Well if it’s past time to make some room In the time it takes to lower boom And if you’re strong enough to shoulder all the blame Then don’t waste time trying to explain What am I supposed to do Tell them I’m with you The time has come to pay the price So just say goodbye to me
13.
Don't you take off your boots, babe When the tide is so green What you sell in the shadows, baby Won't support you for good And if you meet me at the ocean Doesn't matter which one Then the tide will bring you back someday Above your chest the waves swell And neither do they spin As the clouds gather over The tide has got to be green
14.
You're thirsty for a breath of air The ground below begins to quake There ain't no pill that we can't grind I hear the fire that's burnin' tonight Tell me now to wake me up The chasm's deep, it echoes the song A moment gone because you waited too long It's hard to have the presence to know It's either fast or it's too slow
