Track Name: There's Lonely, There's Lonelier
The sunlight
Is alright
The radio
Is finite
I told her
I'm leaving
You can't go
You're bleeding

I need you alive
I don't know why
There's lonely
There's lonelier

In high school
They scattered your ashes
In a cornfield
In molasses
They told you
You're equal
You're a movie
A sequel

I need you to die
I don't know why
There's lonely
There's lonelier

All night
I shoot myself
I guess
Track Name: The Enemy's Song Is My Song Now
Now you can ask them
They won't go away
Now you can ask them
They all want you to stay

Went out by the old house
Symbol in the sky
I wished you were with us
And I wanted to die

The enemy's song is my song now
The enemy's song, I wrote myself
The enemy's song is my song now

Your boy on the front line
Your boy in a jam
The sound of a rifle
The end in a sound

The enemy's song is my song now
The enemy's song, I wrote myself
The enemy's song is my song now
The enemy's song...
I wrote myself, and the job I held was a lie
I wrote myself, and the job I held was enough
Track Name: You Should Run
If all is well I think I'll go
There's no one left to worry, so....
Not martyring myself
I'm just watching the snow
Fall along the outer wall

I knew him well
I know he didn't hurt no one
Knew him well
The sign above the alter read

Run
You should run

If all are wrong but think it's true
There's nothing left for you to do
It's right about the end of the day
And there's nothing left to say....

But I knew you well
I know you didn't hurt no one
Knew you well
The choir above the alter sang

Run
You should run

I know you didn't hurt no one
But time is on the other side
You should run
Track Name: Welcome to the Foxhole
I grew up inside a fox's hole
I grew down just to see how low
I set a fire in it
To see if I still gave a shit

I think I thought I was the only one
I think I thought a lot of dying young
To prove something
To sign up for that feeling

They've been buying up the streets at night
They've been selling out the underwrite
They get off on it
They turn a page on you, it's sick

By the time you see that animal
You're already on the road to hell
If you can stop this one
You're still in it
They cut my tongue
They up your limit
But we're not dead yet?
Track Name: Letter from the Underworld
Sit you down
You're not like the others
You might lay on a mountain of feathers
When you laugh I hear your opinion
I'm not mad, I'm not on a mission
But good god, have a good life
United States of Attention
They sun is up
I know you're honest
I know you're tough
You made it to college

God put a fire on your forehead
Gas, and a leper
He's drunk
He's hitting on your girlfriend
Time of your life
Memory

Drink you up
You're more like the others
The you'll ever know
So why do we bother
When you lie I know you're just dearful
I don't mind
I don't want an earful
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Economy!
You're a single cell
But you're my brother
I know you well
I don't want another

God put a freak
On your forefingers
Said, "Down with marrionette!"
You're drunk
You're picking on all your good friends
Time of your life
Memory
Track Name: Where You End Up
There's something we see a lot
But never stop
See, now he's out of school again
To fill his cup
We left him there to show the rest just where you end up
Where you end up

Case-in-point: another boy
A little pup
Stood up on the loaded ground
His end abrupt
We sent him there to show the rest just where you end up
Where you end up

Na na na na na na na

Push might come to shove a lot with this here mop
He said you never know what kids around are throwing up
They put us here to show the rest just where you end up
Where you end up
Track Name: Flush and Flashing
I woke up in a fery fever
And I wonder if I'll ever see her
She's holding in her hands a new trophy
But she's have to give it back
When they find out
You were just copying that key

So I pull you to a darker corner
And I kiss you like my father kissed my mother
It shines an old light on my young bones
I righten up, and I brighten up my tones

From my head
To my knees
Then on down
To my feet
I'm a wire in this world
You are Greensleeves
You say you know
Where to go
To conceive
You think love is a lie
Well I have to believe

As the light from the moon make apparent
You have choices to make
All my actions were errant
But if you're staying
Then just sit right over there
You make my heart sink
You make my lungs blink
And my eyes stare

From my head
To my knees
Then on down
To my feet
I'm a alive in this world
You're a scarecrow
And if you leave what you leave
When you go
You think love is a lie
Well at least now I know
