Well I woke up on the couch with my shirt inside out
My shoes on the wrong feet
Oh, blame it on the moonshine
I don't remember anything
Looks like I texted my ex and all it said is,
"You're a terrible human being."
Oh, blame it on the moonshine
I don't remember anything
Guess I got the nerve to dance but my feet had other plans
Ended up eating concrete
Oh, blame it on the moonshine
I don't remember anything
Later I got to thinking, maybe I should quit drinking
But I didn't get too far before my lips were on the jar
And all my good intentions got to sinking
Then I turned out my pockets to discover that my wallet
Had gone all but empty
Oh, blame it on the moonshine
I don't remember anything
I was supposed to pay my rent, don't know where my money went
So they put me out on the street
Oh, blame it on the moonshine
I don't remember anything
Later I got to thinking, maybe I should quit drinking
But I didn't get too far before my lips were on the jar
And all my good intentions got to sinking
Now I'm locked up in a cell and my head hurts like hell
Stuck in the penitentiary
Oh, blame it on the moonshine
I don't remember anything

I believe people are cruel, narcissistic, selfish wastes of space
Concerned only with what they can consume and what they can take
But I must admit, something in your face
Makes me think there could be hope for the human race
So when the world falls to hell
As it inevitably will
You're the one that I want by my side
War and human greed will be the death of this planet, yeah you'll see
That's if we're not first all ravaged by communicable disease
Oh, I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But darlin we're all doomed
So when the world falls to hell
As it inevitably will
You're the one that I want by my side
When the heavens all split and the earth turns to shit
You're the one that I want by my side
When the ground opens up and humanity is fucked
You're the one that I want by my side
So when the world falls to hell
As it inevitably will
You're the one that I want by my side

Baptize
02:50
|
|||
In my naivete I once did think that inside every heart
Lies an abundance of goodness and light
But that innocence was ripped away, never to return again
When I woke up cold and bruised that fateful night
One brush with you left me believing every man's hiding a demon
Just waiting to devour all that's good
And I am not ashamed to say if I could go back to the day
I could have killed you in your sleep, Lord knows I would
I would baptize you in the water
I would baptize you in the blood
I would baptize you in the name of every woman
Ever haunted by your touch
Oh, I'll look over the Jordan, Lord, and there what will I see?
I'll see a band of angels and they'll be applauding me
With my hands around your neck, you know I'll never break a sweat
And I testify that's the gospel truth
When the bubbles all cease, I will find my sweet release
And the chorus, Lord, they'll sing this victory tune, yeah
I will baptize you in the water
I will baptize you in the blood
I will baptize you in the name of every woman
Ever haunted by your touch
In the name of the father, the son, the holy ghost
In the name of every face ever blackened by your blows
In the name of my sisters, each and every one
Oh, God have mercy on your soul,
Because you know that I'll have none
You know that I'll have none
You know that I'll have none
I will baptize you in the water
I will baptize you in the blood
I will baptize you in the name of every woman
Ever haunted by your touch

Mind Over Matter
03:27
|
|||
Alone and I'm drinking, thinking about thinking
Making my way through the ins and the outs
Stuck ruminating, sighing, and waiting,
When thoughts start to scatter
It's mind over matter and doubt
Sweet indecision, fraught over precision
Frozen in place, in a panic you'll stand
Pillage or plunder, heart torn asunder
When all's left in tatters
It's mind over matter, again
Can it be so simple?
Static is stagnant, manic invincible
It always ends back here
It's round and about then
It's mind over matter, my dear
I once heard a story a man told before
He was tragic and down, now he's magic instead
To those who'll believe it, he'll tell a secret
Wit's half the battle
It's mind over matter, he said
Can it be so simple?
Static is stagnant, manic invincible
It always ends back here
It's round and about then
It's mind over matter, my dear
Stark melancholy, flailing in folly
There's no in between, just a pen in your hand
Your words are a mirror to help you think clearer
When stuck in a pattern
It's mind over matter, my friend
Can it be so simple?
Static is stagnant, manic invincible
It always ends back here
It's round and about then
It's mind over matter, my dear

Witch of the Wilds
03:46
|
|||
I scaled this slope to be alone,
Grow my garden, watch my chimney smoke,
And hide my face from the fragile things
That would surely crumble to dust at my touch
Whispers chased me into the night
Voices of virgins and whores
But the curse that once bound me to the summit
Has come undone and I'm not frightened anymore
I'm coming down from the mountain
Hide the children
I'm coming down from the mountain
Lord, what's that sound?
I'm coming down from the mountain
Yall grab your pitchforks now
I'm coming down from the mountain
Round up the town
Oh, sage and schemes once sang to me
Something markedly different than what they have come to mean
A burning bush still lights my path
It ain't the one I planned, but what's done is done
And I'm never going back
I'm coming down from the mountain
Hide the children
I'm coming down from the mountain
Lord, what's that sound?
I'm coming down from the mountain
Yall grab your pitchforks now
I'm coming down from the mountain
Round up the town
I never drank the blood of any man
Nor ate the flesh of friend nor foe
But should I find salvation in that vein of consumption
Oh I swear to God, I will let you know
I swear to God I will let you know
I'm coming down from the mountain
Hide the children
I'm coming down from the mountain
Lord, what's that sound?
I'm coming down from the mountain
Yall grab your pitchforks now
I'm coming down from the mountain
Round up the town

Never Again
04:08
|
|||
Last night a demon rolled right into town
Rally thee my friends to gather round
The enchanted desert of our bliss
Beneath our innocence he'd hiss a tune
A song to summon Satan's hounds
Blindsided as the battle had begun
An earthly war that's yet to have been won
A circumstance you can't imagine
Til the moment that it happens
By the dawn the damage had been done
Oh, well I have been changed forever
No time to say no
But never again
Never again to be consoled
Through the ride I've been forced to weather
For the worse or better
He tattooed a suit of armor on my soul
In the wake this scene has been replayed
Tides have changed and soldiers have been made
In the night kneeling by the fallen
A warrior has heard a calling
Scarlet letter burns another shade
Oh, well I have been changed forever
No time to say no
But never again
Never again to be consoled
Through the ride I've been forced to weather
For the worse or better
He tattooed a suit of armor on my soul
Through the ties we were bound to sever
We were lost and found together again
Gather again to take control
Through the ride I've been forced to weather
For the worse or better
He tattooed a suit of armor on my soul
Oh, well I have been changed forever
No time to say no
But never again
Never again to be consoled
Through the ride I've been forced to weather
For the worse or better
He tattooed a suit of armor on my soul
