The End is Beautiful
"Georgia Pine"

Arm, like a gun, said "I'm worried 'bout the next world
I've forgot how to live in this one"

Mouth full of war never shuts up
There's no glory
Dressed in anything less than a fifth

I'm gonna get high as a Georgia pine

I bought a drink for a guy who
Never knew death sat heavy on his nose
It's depressing, there's no magic
Men die and never know

Don't you wish you've led the golden life
Don't you wish you've seen everything
Found your life to be a lonely walk
Don't you wish you've done something else

When I open my eyes
I'm alone in a room on fire
Where's my gun, where's my gun
Where's the scent of sweet Georgia pine

There's no lie worth believing

Last call
Last bliss
Last pass
Last regret
Don't you wish
Last fight
Don't you wish
Last kiss
Don't you wish
So gone
Lights out

I heard a glass-eyed yell for another
"...and one for my sober regrets."
It's contagious
All this movement
Men die and never know

I'm gonna get high as a Georgia pine
And unthink everything I've learned

"Heavy Blue Miles"

Everyway out has got to be like the sky falling in
Crushing heavy blue miles
Everyway out has got to be just like a sky falling in
Crushing heavy blue miles
Way down here, way down here
Way down here, way down here
Everyway out has got to be like the sky falling in
Crushing heavy blue miles

Fear, she tastes of passion, intoxicate
She takes the high road and motivates


Love made me ill with lust, oh
Love made me ill with lust, oh
Everyway out has got to be just like a sky falling in
Crushing heavy blue miles

Fear, she tastes of passion, intoxicate
She takes the high road and motivates
It's ok, it's ok
I'm not ok, I'm not ok


Drowning, Flying, afraid of dying alone
Ghosts and spiders, clowns waving guns and looking down
High wires, empty bags, fire
Doctors can't heal it when temptations so loud you give
Sad Little words I know they know I know, Oh
It blinds complete, then worlds fall, give off zero light

Fear, she tastes of passion, intoxicate
She takes the high road and motivates
It's ok, it's ok
I'm not ok, I'm not ok
Everyway out has got to be just like a sky falling in
Crushing heavy blue miles


Love made me ill with lust, oh
Way down here, like ash and dust
Everyway out has got to be like the sky falling in
Crushing heavy blue miles
Love made me Ill with lust, oh

"Lovesick Morning"

Door slam awkward hallway
Cold heart weighs a ton
Deep breath a harsh reminder
Of what life has become
Same sky same grey
The same mistakes to make the same way

Walk out, into

Another love, love, love, another lovesick morning
Whisper to yourself
Love, Love, another lovesick morning
Alone again


Don't say the words, don't say the words
They hurt more than you know

Smile eyes, lie for me
Find someone who'll rescue me
Deep breath sound of settling
If only someone else were listening

It's the same dirt on the same clothes
It's the same blood on the same nose
It's a hope that stays fleeting
And makes you want to go again
With every high there's a sickness a sober regret
With every act there's a kiss and an arc of descent
With every love there's a lust for more and more
It makes you want to come again

Sleep is still a friend that surrounds me
Keeps me safe from the rising sun
Lies silent like the dead
Safe from drowning skies of red
Mornings don't feel like they should
I'd stop them dawning if I could
Lies silent like the dead
Safe from drowning skies of red
They hurt much more than you could know
They hurt more, they hurt more than you could know

Don't say the words, don't say the words
They hurt more than you could know
Please don't be around in the morning
Anywhere for anything

"Make Me Sway"

Tell me one thing, tell them another
On and on and over so I know you don't remember
Fly from your mouth every time it opens
Liar, liar
Almost white enough to make me sway

Precious time smoothing all the edges
Make me feel important when you slap me in the face
Fall from your mouth wrap around my ankle
Liar, liar

All your every time
All your everything
All your everywhere
All you are is wrong


Make me sway, Make me sway

Talk your nonsense a little stronger
Afraid of feeling human build it high around
Shoot from your mouth let me see your forest
Blackened root twisting tongue
Almost white enough to make me sway

You can't see your eyes will never open
Paying off a debt for something overheard
There is no end for what's begun
Choking root slipping tongue

"The End Is Beautiful"

At first the attraction was innocent
I wasn't looking for a friend
It didn't take that long to poison her
She fell hard

Pain introduced us
I wanted someone I could hurt


Follow the trail of bottles and cigarettes
That leads to the hole that's in her chest
I said some things I never should have thought
I made her cry again

Pain introduced us
I wanted someone I could hurt


Drive in circles
Wait for the words
How to tell her
She's not the one

How do I tell her the end is beautiful?

Never meant for things to go this far
But love hears what it wants
Pull a blanket over yesterday
Let someone else find it

Pain introduced us
I wanted someone I could hurt
Pain introduced us
I wanted someone I could hurt


I made her hate enough to kill
Doesn't make it right
I made her hate enough to kill
Doesn't make it right
Doesn't make it right
Doesn't make it right

How do I tell her the end is beautiful?

"So Ready"

Don't know what I'd do

We've got to slow things down
I'm close to being ready

Bite your lip for me
It makes me crazy when you shy away
Love it when you say
I am the only one who can make you feel so goddamn good

Just let your love go

Dizzy when you speak
We're moving way too fast
We're moving too fast for me
What I do is make it hurt for you

If it doesn't bother you at all
Then it doesn't bother me at all
That it doesn't bother you at all
So close, so ready


If only we could stay
In this moment, our own world
We'd have a place where we could go
To lose ourselves right
To love away the years
And never wonder why we felt so goddamn good

"The Arc Of Decent: Dancing in a Motel Just West of Lincoln"

There's a gun on my pillow
'Cause I'm just ash and dust
And all that you love, will be carried away
There's a gun on my pillow

I don't hear any saviors
Knockin' on this yellow door
I smell piss and heavy cleaner
I hear fluorescent bulbs
But I don't hear any saviors

Either way
I countdown the seconds
Either Way

When they find me in here
Between twin double beds
The blue smoke will hover
Still round my head
And they've seen this all before
In a thousand different ways
Another cry from the lonely
Lost and afraid
And outside the world moves on


The world is just an ashtray
Collecting what's used up
There's no comfort in knowing
It's filled to the top
The world is just an ashtray

I am distant thoughts and tiny secrets
I am the drink in a word
And out beyond the rail on highways
I dreamed of love
Please, please, oh

I am immersed
And love forgets

And all that you love will be carried away

"Misery Not Memory"

In these woods our beauty lies
In misery, not memory

I've eaten pills no one should swallow
Wound up naked on the floor
Used a gun that wasn't clean
Now I wonder
Slept with whores and fell in love
The bottom was so far away

No scars to remind
No villains at my throat
No kind words will help
Help me, won't someone help me
In misery, not memory

I've tripped so hard no one would follow
Past side three of The Wall
Driven blind and made it home
Hit head on and walked away
Why am I unpunished when
Beauty meets an early end

I'm no victim
Just curious, curious
These woods only bring sorrow

Can't deny and won't admit
That I belong to it

I don't understand

Jimmy slept on John's grave the night we buried him
Chris was found underneath the floor in the house where he was killed
They found Frank Thanksgiving morning with the needle still in his arm

Wake like a Quaker
Full of promise
I'm afraid I'll kill again
Chose the life that's poisoned me
Leave it all to misery
Leave it all to misery
Can't deny
That I belong to misery
