Gift Horse 03:26
One, two, three, you said you love me But you just wanted the company Now my heart’s an empty book Once filled with pages you overlooked The binding all torn and frayed But you don’t have to lie anymore No, you don’t have to speak One, two, three, you’re ashamed of me You said it to my face so blatantly Now you haunt with hounds and hooks In the shallows of the life you shook So empty, so desperately You don’t have to hide anymore No, you don’t have to see me The gift horse has a big mouth And you’re the talk of the town What goes around will burn us all down You don’t have to lie anymore No, you don’t have to speak One, two, three, you said you love me But you just wanted the company

Dead & Gone 03:58
Dead & Gone If I could hold the Atlantic Ocean in my hand Would you believe a word I said? And submit your best deception for the truth I don’t hate myself but I’d change for you Said the dawn will burn down This two star motel rat town You look lost, profound! Compel infection underground On and off these chalk lines fall We are all dead and gone If I could align the damned with this campfire song Would you drink yourself asleep on the drive home? And sink from the weight of your skull bashing through I wouldn’t kill myself but I’d hang for you Said the dawn will burn down This two star motel rat town You look lost, profound! Compel infection underground On and off these chalk lines fall We are all dead and gone

In pieces we hang Bats in a cave Swinging through sleep Dreaming though day To wake at night and prey but I’m not proud This blood on my hands is evidence for these sins now When I said I wanted to die, I meant it When I said I loved you so, I meant it Lines and lies bending through truth intended I’d give you everything I had if I hadn’t spent it You harmless joke You catastrophe I hang from your symmetry You dead weight on my memory I shame to fake a cancer aches My sheets wear your stain; my teeth share your taste When I said I wanted to die, I meant it When I said I loved you so, I meant it Lines and lies bending through truth intended I’d give you everything I had if I hadn’t spent it Hell is so welcoming with mats out Heathens dancing in the windows of a winter house Shapes and shades spinning in a perfect motion locked Am I the ballerina in the center of your jewelry box? When I said I wanted to die, I meant it When I said I loved you so, I meant it Lines and lies bending through truth intended I’d give you everything I had if I hadn’t spent it Hell is so welcoming with mats out Heathens dancing in the windows of a winter house Shapes and shades spinning in a perfect motion locked Am I the ballerina in the center of your jewelry box?
