Wonder Why 02:44
Strapped down in corners Never gonna slip your mind Put the pencil to the paper And draw black lines Which you ingest without thinking twice You spit it out To justify that night Keep singing sad songs To stir up the crowd The children are watching And they wonder why Keepsakes of a death wish Are up for grabs Fuming over nothing And they wonder why They wonder why Oh son, I wish I could say Oh dear, I hoped it wouldn't be this way I don't think that this will ever change
2.
The Letter 03:36
The Earth is shaking Hold me dear How did we end up here? I read the books And threw them to the ground Let the light in, didn't make a sound Stay by the road Keep straight as an arrow That's how the story goes I once tasted the blood Tasted the blood of an empty heart I came falling to my knees I started, I started falling apart Piece by piece I stayed up, I stayed up all night Said my prayers and shut my eyes I wrote a letter to my wife I signed it with everlasting life Everlasting life
3.
One Night 03:33
The crowds are forming Side by side Their arm are reaching out It's growing wide And the panic within their eyes Brings me to my knees Please let them go Just for one night You give no reason why We can't understand You precede to live this lie We won't ever comprehend Oh their feet are torn and bound They're ratchet down tight Their eyes run wild in the night Glazed over twice Please let them go Just for one night You give no reason why We can't understand You precede to live this lie We won't ever comprehend The crowds are forming now Side by side

Oh My Son 02:41
With bottled eyes and fingers clinched so tight He swung and hit me to the floor Put up my fists tossing side to side That old man got what he deserved Grabbed a shovel dug up his shallow grave Pushed him in said our goodbyes It took us thirty years to end this household rage Sometimes death is the only way He's finally proud of me Oh my son Oh dear mother it was the only way You and brother can be free He's in the ground and Satan has his hand Jesus looked and turned the other way The men in blue came knocking at my door Guns drawn blood rushing to the top They shot and hit me my body hit the floor Oh sweet savior why'd you turn away You've forsaken me Oh my son
5.
It Was True 03:43
With all this time Resting in my hands So much to do Very little planned I seem to take on What's buried in the sand Take me down There's nothing left When I found out It was true They placed me down Till' I came to Oh my, my, my Come on down I know these times Are hard enough Sweet son of mine Come rough me up When I found out It was true They placed me down Till' I came to

Her hair fell down Sprawled out on the ground Twenty-four years and counting Medicated lips Move towards her hips Mouthing forever always so softly Down from the hill We ventured past home Wishing our families the best Stay close to me dear You have nothing to fear My love is all surrounding In a beam of light Your limbs in a fight Grasping my mouth for the songs The songs for your love The children they played Oh so quietly Counting their fingers and toes My fingers they pressed Against the mountainy range on your back Cascading to the floor
7.
I, I was out in the open With my claws buried in the ground And the watchers Only came at midnight Where it was too black To see my fright And the watchers Kept walking Waited for the wind from the west To set me free I've been waiting For over a year now Still waiting for the woman with the shovel To dig me out All I wanted Was someone to care for me To bandage up the wounds and serve wine To ease the pain So I called The family doctor He said I had suffered A shattered heart And I guess You could say it was worth it The woman with the shovel May have recovered the missing parts
8.
Yesterday 03:59
My calling is bone dry It's been disconnected The midnight train Flashed right before my eyes I thought caught A glimpse of you I called your house And got that normal voice That simple voice That irritating voice Yesterday's the day I recall from yesterday Yesterday She moves in a way that makes the ocean cringe That makes the ocean cringe She parted the sea and stuck her foot right in She spun the moon again Yesterday's the day I recall from yesterday Yesterday
