BRAINS 04:19
Brains, you put me in chains Love you in waves War on false aims Using false names In this false game I'll take the blame You take the reigns New beginning Leave me to hang 'Cause I don't have Nothing to claim No nothing to claim So give me brains Brains, give me brains Brains, you tease me then pain Whip with a name Discredited fame Implicitly sane I ain't in that frame By the law Of the man And the woman No in between Just lies and machine They have no brains So it's not in vain No it's not in vain It can't be in vain Just give me your brain Give me your brains Brains, give me brains

She sings her song so sweetly She sings at every chance She is just a lonely bird, and me I'm a cast iron man I feel me growing older It wears so painfully Does she notice when I falter Does she hide it from me Or do I not see? The yew is cut to make the beam I'll build the sky you fill the seas And in between we'll find the beach I'd give myself completely To guarantee the chance That we meet again in spirit You tell me your journey That was separate from me Which path really has the deets? I fucked around and came up with these You possess me in many ways But no way that I'd leave this place The yew is cut to make the beam I'll build the sky you fill the seas And in between we'll find the beach Yes, in between we'll find the beach

Night Liver 04:49
Are you a night liver? Go getter? Sleep later? In this cold weather? She's a night liver Love giver Pain shedder Lane changer She took me to an after party In a hotel lobby She says I'm naughty Must be magnets in our bodies I haven't felt this way in four years Magic in mystery beers Oh yes, the end is near, just one more here Dream maker Need another slow burner? Make it or break ya Give me a ring Night, set up Still bitter Night liver Got to be a good sinner She took me to an after-after party Her friends were all on molly "Well Stevie do you party?" Not since Green Bay won Lombardi I'm good on that but hit this right here Still down but two is closing Oh yes, where to from here? Your place is near? Brain coated in her No say in whether The only question Will she take you or leave ya? Everybody is a night liver Strapped to smokes, near liquor Nobody can quit neither In this world of fuckin' quitters You said one thing that really stuck out in my mind I couldn't shake it all night Bad fit, rad bitch, but I don't play tag baby No matter how fine, there's a line When your phone rang you said hold on honey Thought I missed it, but ya thought wrong dummy

I could profess thousand coffer Place, combination too Give drink the last my water Let me come along with you Take sound, my first love, from me That's what brought me to you Let bleed the last my offer Take what is left entombed I could slept on daily proverbs But I make them myself I cannot take the glory My pride prevents the sell 'Tween three or four old lovers You make them fake like hell Your command makes me humble You handle my strength well I could profess thousand coffer I can accept million offer I can become manic easy But I don't panic baby A side effect of trauma Repeated mama drama When you entered the arena I was a bullshit dealer Now seeing clear as karma I'm cleaning up my problems I could slept on daily proverbs But I make them myself I cannot take the glory My pride prevents the sell 'Tween three or four old lovers You make them fake like hell Your command makes me humble You handle my strength well Take what is left entombed Another lesson learned From the east comes a tune That plays inside of you Let it bring out the new Let it make people swoon Let it break people's views Of what they thought of you I could profess thousand coffer I could... Take what is left entombed Another lesson learned From the east comes a tune That plays inside of you Let it bring out the new Let it make people swoon Let it break people's views Of what they thought of you

Next in Line 03:45
I want ya, sincerely, to go away But "you're so afraid" of being single, And in the middle of June I never said I would stay here with you No I didn't But you came to me Rapped on my door till 3:00 I need some place where I can lose my mind I need a place where I can leave behind the lies in time Two for you, none me I can afford you but I don't need Pretty bitch that can't see the big piece "Who are you?" "I'm free" that's what I'll say honey I need my place, some wine, a new behind, next in line You need to cough up all the bills that you have left behind I need some place where I can lose my mind I need my time, some wine, my smoke, my mind

Kansas Town 02:17
In a Kansas town A fair maiden drowned She took a pill Then drove off Buck O'niel Years ago she took me there We just stood around Watched the stars and drove back to town In North Meadow my boyhood friend shot his ex-girlfriend She didn't live and he will spend his life in pens I remember snow fights He remembers desert nights Killing kids I.E.D. pipes I never got to say goodbye old friend Now you're... Gone and gone and gone now you're... In a dream I found I picked them up, drove them around Showed them what Their lives where like where I came from Never did they realize They were a dream of their own lives I said next time think twice And I drove them both back to town
