Story Behind the Song

This is the final song written for the album

Lyrics

you think you're goin to heaven, you know you're gonna die,
you think you're gonna wake up, and see the after life.... and see the after lie

this little dream it isn't ever gonna end,
this little angel she ain't never been your friend,
revenge and blood and destiny, tell me now what I really need,
tell me now what is that you see, revenge and blood and destiny

La La La


Revenge and blood and destiny, tell me now what is that you see,
tell me now what i really need, revenge and blood and destiny,

you think you're gonna go to heaven, but i think you may be wrong,
but i know you're gonna find out, just where your heart belongs,
just where just where your heart belongs
revenge and blood and destiny, revenge and blood and destiny

La La La

Revenge and blood and destiny, tell me now what is that you see,
tell me now what i really need, revenge and blood and destiny,

sex and lies and you are wasted all the time,
and the dollar is runnin down to one last final dime,
and the night is overcome... the night is overcome...
Revenge and blood and destiny, tell me now what is that you see,
tell me now what i really need, revenge and blood and destiny,

my girl you were the sweetest one that i found
my girl you were the sweetest one of them all,
here in the darkness there s nobody else aroun
nobody there to catch you when you fall,

Story Behind the Song

Of the three companion songs, this is the one people seem to like right off the bat as opposed to having it grow on you.

Lyrics

so maybe you heard they say the
world is goin to hell
and we re
all gonna die here by this broken
wising well
the bell is ringin
and its rattling my bones

rattling my broken heart no
matter where it goes
rattling my
broken heart no matter where it
goes
La la...

and i remember
just the way u used to
smile
figure i ll be seein u in
just a little while
i got my bag
and i got time enough to spare

time enough to wonder why we
ever had to care

i got story
and it s still goin on
reminds
me of somethin i can t put my
finger on
i had a lover
she is
so clever
under the covers under
the weather

la la...

myself
i must admit that i was leavin
anyway
once i got a look around i
never meant to stay
and i aint
stayin here nor i aint gonna
go
all the sheep can keep the
grasslands and the devil rot my
bones
the sheep can keep the
grasslands and the devil rot my
bones

and that old devilhe aint
so bad in the end
fuck it all as
i recall he s always been my
friend
to hell with one and all
and every damned thing
to hell
with all the angels and this
broken diamond ring
to hell with
all the angels and this broken
diamond ring
I got a
story...

Song Description

This was originally a very jazz oriented sort of lounge song, but it got some rock in it. Very pixies-esque leads (I was surprised to realize they still had such influence on me).

Lyrics

you feel it come in and, you feel it go go go,
you want to run and you, you want to know,
you want to look around, you want to blink your eyes,
you want to hit the ground, before the fever dies, tonight,
my darlin, i miss you, i wish that i was with you,
here.... tonight....
my days are, so empty, i need you here with me, here, tonight,

you want to get away, you want to find a place,
where you can spend your days, where you can save your face
you open up your eyes, before the day is done,
before the fever burns away, under the fading , sun... is gone,,,,,
the sun, is gone, i feel i don't belong,
right here, tonight,
somethin is, is missing, and i can feel the sting, tonight...

you're sitting quietly, you're singin to yourself,
you have no memory, of anybody else,
and you were never born , and you will never die,
you wear a crown of thorns, its bleedin in your, eyes,
and i am blind,
the words are, so lovely, i feel you here above me, now, i can see it in your eyes,
open the, the door, and, your touch is soft and warm and, HERE, just take the knife


a matter strange enough to me, one and one and one is three,
and three is everybody, you ever want to see,
YOU EVER WANTTO SEE
you open up your eyes, and, you want to tell me lies, and,
and i am yours and you are mine, and we are runnin outta time, TIME, TIME,
TONIGHT,,
no no more lies, tonight,
NO MORE LIES, TONIGHT,
i love you, you need me, it is a trajedy n bn to lie, would be, a crime,
i need you, you want me, you always have to taunt me, here, just take, the knife,
HERE, JUST TAKE, THE KNIFE,

i want to tell you and, i want to say, to you,
i want to hold you close, i want to let you go,
i feel the pain of it, there is no gain of it,
here, just take the knife....w0

Comparing love to opiates

Story Behind the Song

This is the first song Written for the album

Lyrics

just a sip of wine just a simple taste
yellow and white is all that it 'll take
just a single breath in this cold battered state is everything you love and everything you hate
just a single note fro this old worn out song is all that u require to feel like you belong
breathing in deep into the bottom of your lungs you can feel it in your nose , taste it on your tongue
this is a love song

from you to me and me to you and everything a love song from all the world for all the world to see

you feel every single note creep along ur spine, twist along the coils isn't it divine
you can hear the angels sing you hear every single word u feel like ur on fire its everthing you heard
this is a love song
-------
you can feel the fever burn it s more than you can take it s all that you desire to never disipate
dont stop stop tryin now you r so close to heaven high above the ground
it s callin out to you you call it by it s name call it love but this will never be the same ,
or be a love song...

----
burnin u alive this will never disappear and you ll never ever die,
a love song from me to you is everything everything

...my last cigarette is all that i can spare a hundred million dollars and a strand of golden hair
this is all you ever need a mansion on the hill a beautiful young wife a little yellow pill
my 1940s car my castle in the sand my everything on earth i ever made with these two hands
a love song
been playin all my life thru all my fame fourtune poverty and strife a love song
more than i deserve isnt it divine isnt it absurd
the mystery inside locked without a key i spent every drop of blood and still it s haunting me
spinning on forever and still its haunting me echoing so gently rippling so deep
im on the other side i can feeel it pullin me
cool as drippin water from the branches of a tree, is this a love song?

Song Description

This song is dedicated to my friend Justin when he got caught by the fuzz

Lyrics

Am, Em, Am, Em/G, Am, Em/G, B5 B5/G, B5 B5/G

you been waitin a long long time for, some reason to the rhyme, some final waste of time,
you can lose yourself, you don't even have to try, you can smoke yourself to a grave in the sky,
the grave is deep and empty, ten thousand miles wide, ten million lonely pilgrims,
are waitin there in side, won't tell you how they died,

the night is long and lonely, a long long waste of time, how long have you been waiting?,
your reason is sublime, the fever starts to climb,

forgetting all my instincts, chain smokin camel wides, i'm burnin all my bridges,
irradiate the sky, i think i'll say goodbye, irradiate the sky,

i hope there's no tomorrow, wish for the end of time, the law will never catch me,
i sleep with open eyes, six gun packed into my side,

i aint on either side, nobody is on mine, we all are gonna fry,
no reason to the rhyme, soon enough there comes a time,

i hope that winter comes, bring on the snow and ice, bring on the freezing rain,
i think the weather's nice, no matter what the price,

i used to love bosephus, i used to worship jesus, there were a lot of things,
fools gold and diamond rings, yeah yeah the angels sing,

save it for someone special, save it for one who cares, take all your bullshit elsewhere,
we are all stocked up here, piss off and dissappear

Lyrics

i haven't plaid with you for fun, it seems so very very
wrong or right or is it black as night, i pay the price,
ohh ,
i hear you singin in the night, and all the words and all the
time i've waste, away the night, until the light falls...
i see you clear as day and i, i never ever tell a
lie, and i aint, afraid to die, or sacrifice...
melody, the rain is fallin, down,
and i'm wondering, some very sac a red ground,
and all these skeletons, they are better off alone,
and all these sleepin dogs, well they aint never, go-in, ho - oh - ome
G A G A G A D D D D

im wastin all my precious time, on things to get me through the night,
and things are, com-in, to the, light of, day now...
growin coffee in the sun, and in the night it's drinkin rum, that gets me,
higher, then the, mor-ning, co-mes,
Catherine, your lips are, sweeter than the rain, and,
and your fing-er tips, are, tress-pass-ing, a-gain,
and maybe some things they are better off alone, but,
some wandering fools, they don't ever make it ho-ome...

there it is the big ol sun, and still the light'll never ,
come my way, as long as i, can shut my eyes...
you say the bell is ringin soon, and soon enough the after-
noon is gone and, then the wind is, soft and coo-ool
january, comes and goes, and,
february, it snows and it snows, and it,
harder i miss you, and the, harder i try, to,
put out the fire, that burns in my mind, but
there was a moment, a moment in time, when,







i have a moment of your time, if you can



a hundred years have come and gone,

Song Description

This is a great song that I wrote a long time ago and I'm so glad to finally record it, perhaps not in its final version but a good start - a surprisingly difficult song to record for such a simple structure.

Lyrics

No destination, nowhere to go
My inspiration, it's runnin low,
On 2 pale horses, riding in the morning light,
I see the dust in your hair, but there's no stain upon your pride ~

Beyond the valleys, beyond the towns,
Here in the gallows, you let your hair fall down,
You let your hair fall down ~
--------------------------------------------------------------------
And you, fill up a hole in my heart
You do, burn like a flame in the dark.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Your long hair shining, your eyes of gold,
Your smile compassion, burns in your soul,
With you i stand alone, your embrace haunting me,
Lay down along the stones, our bodies poetry ~

The laughter of the river, its voices mingling,
Gives me a shiver, so cold its hard to breath
So cold its hard to breath ~
---------------------------------------------------------------------
But you, burn like a flame in the dark,
Can you, Feel the beat of my heart?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Naked we lie together, no man made boundaries,
No space between us, so close its hard to breathe,
I hear you call my name, it sounds like poetry,
It sounds so far away, it feels just like a dream ~

Come down below the water, come down below the ground,
Into the other-world, blindly, blindly chase the sound
Blindly, blindly chase the sound ~
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And you, fill up a hole in my heart
You do, burn like a flame in the dark.
Can you, Feel the beat of my heart?
Can you, Feel the beat of my heart?

Lyrics

and i wonder what your thinkin and i wonder where you are
and i'm thinkin, about the last time, when i saw you, you were smilin,
and i miss you, oh i miss you, and i wish that, we had never met at all,

i look around me, and i am blinkin, don't spose i seen a goddamn thing for quite some time,
where i am and, where i am livin, what i am doin, with my life, and,
and all these questions, ain't got no answer, and all these answers, they don't mean nothing...

[C F C F] nothins easy, my darlin, nothin's painless, and nothin's free, nothin's quick,
-ly gettin over, no it ain't over, until you bleed.

this very moment, this here right now, i hear the words, i feel you breathin,
i know your out there, i hear you singin, you know the devil, he is hidin on the breeze,
i want to say, to say i'm sorry, i'm sorry for, the whole damned thing...

my heart is beatin, and i regret it, and i am bleedin, and i can't stand it,
my head is throbin, i hate the sunshine, i curse the heavens, and i curse the light,
the day is thru, the sky is blue, nothing is true, but i miss you

[C F C F] nothin is simple, the world ain't peaceful, and yet still you and me were soothing for a time,
the war is over, but im still a solier, and will be just as long as i'm alive....
