Track Name: Mary Merrily
They are among us in many different ways, And they've come to guide us through muddy water banks. Will you find me praying in the fiery lake? Oh, the sunrise sings to me about how it's time to change. Mary merrily eats the hay, I know, I know, I know. Angels surround me and take me in different ways. Oh, Lord, have you left me, 'cause I'm screaming your fucking name? Oh, Lord, you hear me, you know my weakness is faith. And the sunsets are clearer and the darkness is closing in. Mary merrily eats the hay, I know, I know, I know. Mary merrily couldn't keep her babe awake, I know, I know. Mary merrily couldn't stay awake, I know, I know, I know. Mary merrily couldn't keep her babe awake, I know, I know.
Track Name: What Blood Has Got
I've seen the glaze in your eyes, While sprinkling dirt on mother. For us, it couldn't get worse, 'Cause mother was our leader-er. You locked the front door, but I'm through the back door. You'll hear me coming and I won't miss. You locked the front door, but I'm through the back door. You'll hear me coming and I won't miss. I'll help you hold your head under water, I'll see to it that you drown. 'Cause I am bitter, oh, Lord, I miss her, And I'm unsure of who to blame. Hold my hand, dear. Murderer, fear, 'Cause I will never be afraid. I'll help you hold your head under water, I'll see to it that you drown. 'Cause I am bitter, oh, Lord, I miss her, And I'm unsure of who to blame. Hold my hand, dear. Murderer, fear, 'Cause I will never be the same. 'Cause I will never be afraid. No, I will never be the same. 'Cause I will never be afraid.
Track Name: Snow Song
Won't it snow, won't it snow, will it ever, will it ever fucking snow? Lay it down, throw it down, oh, please come down, come down all over me. Don't need love, don't need love, except the Father's love, Father's love and I'll be pleased. Don't need love. Big black bird ripped jaw off my body, off my body, now I can't speak. Big black bird, please cover my body, my body, so I don't breathe. Take these bones, take these bones, oh, please take them, take them away from me. Leave my soul, leave my soul, so I may haunt your, haunt your stormy snow. Won't it snow, won't it snow, will it ever, will it ever fucking snow? Won't it snow, won't it snow, will it ever, will it ever fucking snow?
Track Name: No Please Don't
Glorious loud voice I heard, so I gave up the ghost. I woke him up from bad, bad dreams and I ordered him to leave. He went for the door, but, Lord, I kicked him hard right down to the floor. I beat him up, I fed him drugs, just to see how long he'd live. Gave him love and all my trust, but lives of dead wives he did breathe. Well, his body drained and it dried, but before he left he said, "Please don't take my soul from me and feed it to the beast. I'll cut the holes in new sheets and dance with ghosts while clenching my teeth. Please don't take my soul from me and feed it to the beast. I'll cut the holes in new sheets and dance with ghosts while clenching my teeth." Black lines make you cross-eyed and help you get some sleep. My flesh, my blood, my sins, my drugs, mean absolutely nothing to me.
Track Name: Through These Woods
In a world so cheap, so evil and bleak, I am yours to keep, to cherish, to cheat on. I'll follow you down, I'll follow you down, down, down. And you'll follow me down, you'll follow me down, down, down. Her last words were murmured bloody notes. Her lover found her there, through these woods. I wrapped her in a box and left her there for the birds. The birds, they tore through that box and took her away from me. I'll follow you down, I'll follow you down, down, down. And you'll follow me down, you'll follow me down, down, down. I'll sharpen these nails, I'll show you how much I care. At least I'll know where you'll be, buried in the sky above me. Well, it was for your own good, I loved you too much to lose. I'll follow you down, I'll follow you down, down, down. And you'll follow me down, you'll follow me down, down, down.
Track Name: Do I Lie
I dislike the thinking thought that you didn't die today. I wish a death where you grow deaf and never hear me say. The birds went blind from spending time spreading broken wings. Mommy loved her little boy more than she loves you. And Daddy tried his best to lie and to never tell the truth. Mommy loved her unborn child more than she loved me. Your face like mine, it makes me cry, And my stomach, it gets weak. Please just leave my heart to bleed and let me get some sleep. Do I lie about my past so it's easier to breathe? Do I lie to my friends just to hear myself speak? Do I lie? Well, yes, I try, but only to get high. You say you're dead inside, but why's your heart still beat? The birds have left their young alive with broken bones and wings. Their eyes like, they never shine, except when they're in need. Oh, do I lie about my lies to see which you believe? And I've cried wolf too many times so no one disturbs my peace.
Track Name: Memphis Heat
Doctors scared her and gave her three heart attacks. Cut her up and touched her everywhere. Left her open, so I sewed her shut. Why'd you wait so long to fuck things up? Too concerned with love and loneliness. When your cheek turns cold, I'll kiss you there. When you lie down, you will not be scared. When you lie down, your sleep will be so sweet. Buried on a hill in Tennessee, under a big tree, where she rests peacefully. Driver, please don't stop, I'd die out here. Memphis heat, I know I gave up there. When you lie down, you will not be scared. When you lie down, your sleep will be so sweet.
Track Name: You're All So
Now this emptiness has got me all wound up, 'cause I'm always wrong about what seems right. And I'm always wrong about these cut arms. And I'm always wrong 'cause I'm always wrong. And how I'm torn, well, it's like a thunder storm, coming from the place where I guess I never tried. Well, it's easier, 'cause I'm long gone, long, long gone. Now here what I say. Things will never be the same, 'cause we will never be, be together again. And you're all so fucked, 'cause we are all so fucked. And this lazy heart sunk itself in the deep, 'cause I'll never be, be strong enough.
