Dagger 04:26
adding to our history in graffiti town building up an empire worth burning down those snakes under the overpass welcome in every poor broken bastard into skyline grips I married my lady down in caroline we moved by the winds of a nor'east tide the interstate left the stars behind we sold a million diamonds for neon lights Men in the city don't know my name Girls in the evening don't know my game My swagger was dead when I turned 19 My woman was a dagger, she cut open me coverin' up a mystery in graffiti town I-95 is a but burial ground down by the murals and southbound train there's a ghost by the canal he haunts my brain those wolves in suits and shiny cars Humble my pride but break my heart They don't know who they love or who they'll be cause not all ever afters end happily

Black Veins 03:34
here comes that train where does it start, where does it end out of this place, whether the gates of hell or nazareth, I think I'll board and get the hell out of this town my wanderlust is craving hard if I were to stack bricks without the mortar would it stand on love alone or would it crumble down into a heap of rubble in this troubled town oh, compass rose come take me home black veins those country roads the mountain pass the valley low red rock or green seas where is our home supposed to be the freaks and geeks come out in the summertime in city square where lights are dim but stars are in the air the beat is strong our bodies sway the wind we dance along, we move as one I met a man under the railroad crossing he told me "son, I've seen the world above the clouds" his voice was God's for me inside that moment he told me "home is always where your heart remains"
3.
her name was Catherine and she was my first real love standing inches above me in her mother's makeup playground kisses we showed off our pieces there laughing but both so scared oh, the mystery salty sweet the summer's kiss jigsaw nights and backseat trips those memories our fickle songs of sirens and angles teenage drinking stars in our cups and eyes lust in our wrinkled smiles sun drunk lovers screens and angles growing up way too fast wondering if love will last or leave with the morning 20 years later I've chosen my true love cause running around only holds the unholiest lonely now we have a family and I want a legacy my manifesto to read how love held the balance
4.
Machine 03:52
another day, another dollar another chance to get yourself out of bed make a change, grind it out or fall back in line move quick, too slow, try again take another hit, take another shot pull the bullet out and chew it up spit it out on the sidewalk that takes a beating like you, cracks like you, breaks like you the impact shakes through bedrock feels like your heart stops you take another hit, another shot you fall in bed again The cycle never ends Live easy when we're dead No steam, lost dreams. You get stuck in the machine Teeth are digging in Push you forward Push you down Get back up on your feet
5.
take me down to the valley low down where the wildflowers grow tell a story or three, have a drink on me Take me down where the wildflowers grow take me up to the mountains high to taste the indigo sky feel the winter's breeze leave us in spring take me up to the indigo sky take me back to where we began that night I first held your hand when our futures met, our souls were set oh, the night I first held your hand take me to judgement day the day when our souls leave our graves where it's you and me, eternally take me to when our souls leave our graves
