I am a first born child
I hold the stone around my throat
Wide awake while you're all alone
Hangs off you like a heavy coat
Keep the light babe
It's all I have from far away
Don't know what I'll do
I'm so lost without you
So it starts is how it goes
Find the light that's never shone
Lapsed forgiveness is getting old
When will the truth be told
Keep the light on still
It's all we have and always will
Don't know what I'll do
I'm so lost with out
Hold off I'm still reeling from another blow
Hold off I'm still reeling from 'I told you so'
Hold off I'm still reeling from I don't love you anymore
I am a first born child
I hold the stone around my throat
Wide awake while you're all alone
Hangs off you like a heavy coat
Keep the light babe
It's all I have from far away
Don't know what I'll do
I'm so lost without you

I've got a guilty soul
And a heart set to explode
My girl's got years to outlive my crooked heart
I dug a tiger hole
With all the love I stole
And I've got years before I retire
From my thieving ways
Mistakes I have made
And I won't begin to blame you for leaving now
I've got a heavy chest
It's filled with a heavy mess
It's all that's left from loving you
So in the morning light
I pray for the dead of night
Because it feels alright to fall back into
My thieving ways
Mistakes I have made
And I won't begin to blame you for leaving now

Calm Down

You left us standing in garden rows
Frozen fucked, your only rose
I paint the frost you paint your toes
The gate shuts, the cold knows
I brought you here and shut your eyes
And warmed you with orange skies
If I only caught you in time
Lying in waste, your only crime
Calm down
Calm down
It's over now
Bothered, branded and broken down
You scalped your hands, they're hollowed out
Stoned dumb sullen in doubt
It's the only way you can
Calm down
Calm down
It's over now
Calm down
Calm down
It's over now
There's a monster in my heart it's eyes burn bright
Calm down
Calm down
It's over now

Dance

I fell from your grace like a stone
You lost your taste for love when I got home
Won't leave you again
We kiss like kids out too late
We drank like vets left to waste
Won't leave you again
Dance the devil back into his hole
Cuffed to his ankle, he won't let go
Peek 'round corners and hope you're there
The cherry blossom of your summer hair
I won't leave you again
Take a long look at who we've become
Gaping like a hole from your gaping lungs
I won't leave you again
Dance the devil back into his hole
Cuffed to his ankle, he won't let go
Dance the devil back into his hole
Cuffed to his ankle, he won't let go

Holy Roller

You were like a holy roller
When you get onto something you won't let go of
My love's a drop in your ocean
While you're swimming in the midst of what you've got a hold on
It's harder when you're not around
It's hard to keep this love pinned down
It's harder when you're not around
And I'll see you around
Your hands are stuffed in my pockets
I don't mind if you don't mind
Our love get's twisted and knotted
And I don't mind if you don't mind
It's harder when you're not around
It's hard to keep this love pinned down
It's harder when you're not around
And I'll see you around
You were like a holy roller ...

She came down from North Virginia
From a dry town drinking beer
Wondering if I'd forgive her
But my warm heart disappeared
She called him a disappointment
I call him on the phone
Now down in North Virginia
She's lying all alone
Singing 'baby please come home
I can't stand it here on my own
And the dogs are howling at my door
Baby please come home'
I gave her all my broken heartache
She gave me a reason to cry
That shiner was my only possession
On my way down the line
Singing 'baby please come home
I can't stand it here on my own
And the dogs are howling at my door
Baby please come home'
A mask of strange delusion
Keeps our eyes hid in plain sight
'Aint it strange how this forgiveness
Only arrives in the dead of night?
Singing 'baby please come home
I can't stand it here on my own
And the dogs are scratching at my door
Baby please come home'
