Terra Incognita

Uncle Del was a mean old man,
raped and pillaged all over this land,
she went with him every night, digging graves in the moonlight,
She said "that's okay, you don't have to kill",
She's happy to do it just for the thrill,
Just for the thrill,
She's just poison swimming through the blood in my veins,
She's the only reason why I go insane,
Young Gwen was never satisfied,
with gold in her hand and a look in her eye,
no rock was left unturned,
every bridge and city burned,
...why I go insane

Devil Down

She walks up to me, it happens so slowly,
she starts to speak, looking like she knows me,
but I've never seen her face before,
suddenly I'm her lying eyes,
Promises of paradise,
I double down on the devil down below,
you know, you know, he's watching you,
It's the one you know who won't let you go,
yeah, she's not done with you,
She starts to leave, it happens so slowly,
it's all I need, I've been so lonely

North Salvo

Off the coast of North Salvo,
in a car with a cattle skull,
I held you close, you said don't let go.
Now many years have passed,
since I saw you last,
and I feel so young, but you feel so old,
I'm told,
Where does time go when we forget about each other?
What do I know when I start to love another?
Times change and hearts fade, nothing's the same.
Where does time go when we forget about each other?
When I met you at the harbor,
they said "boy, don't you starve her",
but you wouldn't hear a word,
I felt as free as a bird trapped inside a cage kept by you,
all I wanted was the truth, but that wouldn't fly,
so I said goodbye,
My legs are tired but I keep on pushing through,
I'm living like I've got nothing left to lose

Whistleblower
04:05
|

|
A mouth that's always in need,
empty homes, we hit the streets,
they've been trying to instigate,
but I won't take that bait, no,
Whistle,
Whistleblower,
Whistle,
Whistleblower,
Start to think like a criminal,
they start to treat you like an animal,
on the run for three longs days,
just to keep my family safe,
the wrong man in an empty house,
raised his hands and shut his mouth,
through the window I could see,
the henchman came for me,
they same for me

Looks Could Kill
04:34
|

They say the looks I give could kill,
on that mountain is where I got my fill,
Drank until the sun started to run,
and I saw you coming up the road,
you tried to tell me off and to leave you alone,
now it's getting dark, I won't wreck your heart,
if you come with me, we can't walk slow,
They said the love they had was pure,
but nowadays I'm not so sure,
the act like freedom is such a cure,
but it leaves 'em down on the floor.
When you try to speak, you start feeling weak,
nobody gets what you're saying,
vows turn to lies, you can't look in his eyes,
what's the use in staying?
We can't walk slow, we can't walk so,
we might never know if we don't,
if we don't ever take a chance,
It's all a dance, it's all a dance,
They said that I've got a bleeding heart,
Don't know how it stops or where it starts,
they said that I might never see,
but it's clear as day what that means,
If I ever get home, stuck in Oklahom',
I won't leave my kin in chains,
Should I bring my lungs? Should I bring my gun?
They don't know my name,

Abilene
03:47
|

There's a town out west of Dallas,
where the desert meets the sky,
it's a good ole place to raise a kid,
it's a better place to die,
you can find a job and settle down,
with the cowboys and a wife,
but a Rand Mcnally roadmap and a Honda saved my life
Give me a home by the ocean,
give me a home by the sea,
New York, New York is before my eyes,
and Abilene is behind me,
Did Leroy finally take you to that west Texas fair?
In that silver Monte Carlo his parents bought for him that year,
and later on did he take you out for pizza and for beer,
hoping that Dean Linder wouldn't happen to be there,
The September trees are colored with Fall,
the town that I left there, it was once and for all,
the interstate sign is my only friend,
staying there too long was my only sin

Last Stand
04:07
|
|||
|
Live, do you want to live?
What do you have to give?
Is there no end?
Sick and tired of the same old schtick,
every speech is the same old bit,
they've got the floor but they want more,
they want war,
A society so discontent,
world ruled by one government,
I don't want to see my village burn,
I don't want to see my village burn,
Seek, before you speak.
Do you feel the need?
Do you feel free?
Scared to raise a son or have a niece,
Scared to reap or sow a seed,
I don't know where these men stand,
I just want to keep my land,
Though it might be nice to live in fire over ice,
It's gotten so cold and it's getting old
