1.	Cheap Wine 03:44	lyrics
Yeah I'm drunk man I'm on a cheap wine Sure you heard heard it through the grapevine Think I died maybe this is all right Hit the floor just before midnight I was thinking maybe this was okay I was bored didn't really feel great I was thinking maybe this is alright I'm in the ground just after midnight It was a sadder day I didn't mean to say That just don't feel right I'm gonna go again I'm gonna try again Now just ain't my time Cheap wine Yeah I'm drunk man I'm on a cheap wine Sure you heard heard it through the grapevine Think I died maybe this is all right Hit the floor just before midnight I was thinking maybe this was okay I was thinking maybe this was all great It's alright baby if you want to You could win I swear I could never lose It was a sadder day I didn't mean to say That just don't feel right I'm gonna go again I'm gonna try again Now just ain't my time Cheap wine I've been around for a while and a day You ain't the victim and this ain't a game I've been around for a while don't you know You ain't my baby and you ain't my hoe And you've been peaking at me for a while Could give you dick but instead I just smile I've been around for a while and a day Before I do something take me away It was a sadder day I didn't mean to say That just don't feel right I'm gonna go again I'm gonna try again Now just ain't my time Cheap wine Yeah I'm drunk man I'm on a cheap wine Sure you heard heard it through the grapevine Think I died maybe this is all right Hit the floor just before midnight I was thinking maybe this was okay I was bored didn't really feel great I was thinking maybe this is alright I'm in the ground just after midnight It was a sadder day I didn't mean to say That just don't feel right I'm gonna go again I'm gonna try again Now just ain't my time Cheap wine I've been around for a while and a day You ain't the victim and this ain't a game I've been around for a while don't you know You ain't my baby and you ain't my hoe And you've been peaking at me for a while Could give you dick but instead I just smile I've been around for a while and a day Before I do something take me away
2.	Straitlaced 03:17	lyrics	buy track
I came into class and I was late because I lurk I sit next to Satan and I copy all his work We began to get along and he says everyday All I ever wanted was to join your little game I'm walking down the hall and I'm feeling kind of sick I never lit the candle but I'm burning down the wick I began to lift my feet and move them towards the door All the people walking and I'm dragging on the floor today Now everybody's messin' 'round talkin' down gettin' high Everybody's trading all their virtue for their vice On my way to seize the day I got guns and knives Forgot to count my blessings and I'm holding on to strife Conversation carried on all along he would tell All about infernal wisdom burning down in hell Time was passing and I waved I could tell it was late Satan sat beside me and he copied all my work today Lets take this over to your place Or are you still living in your head Lets take this over to your place Or are you still living in your head It's a one two three Now everybody's messin' 'round talkin' down gettin' high Everybody's trading all their virtue for their vice On my way to seize the day I got guns and knives Forgot to count my blessings and I'm holding on to strife Conversation carried on all along he would tell All about infernal wisdom burning down in hell Time was passing and I waved I could tell it was late Satan sat beside me and he copied all my work today Yeah he copied all my work today Yeah he copied all my work today

Well I swear I'll find a brand new fuckin' home town And maybe I'll just get away from you Never once I said but every goddamn Feeling that I had was feeling blue Never have I told you of my new friend I'm sure he'd like to show you like I did The only thoughts of people are ones I miss Lately all my thoughts have all been sick Yeah they all been so sick Yeah they all be so sick Well I think I'm thinking upside down but I'm stoned And I don't give a damn if you are too Cause lately all the conversation I heard Never left my head but I make due Well I don't seem to care and it's just too late To make myself believe an old damn lie Never once I said but every goddamn Feeling that I had was flying high Flying so high I flying so high I flying so high I flying so high Well I swear I'll find a brand new fuckin' home town And maybe I'll just get away from you Never once I said but every goddamn Feeling that I had was feeling blue Never have I told you of my new friend I'm sure he'd like to show you like I did The only thoughts of people are ones I miss Lately all my thoughts have all been sick Yeah they all been so sick Yeah they all been so sick Yeah they all been so sick yeah they all been so sick
4.	Identity 03:21	lyrics	buy track
The devils been riding on my back He fixed my flaws and filled my cracks Now my flaws are golden lines of fleece And my eyes no longer strain The devil has got me in his tracks He set me up for feeling fat He reaped my soul then he took my shoes Sat at my stool in my favorite saloon Sat at my stool in my favorite saloon I can't differentiate anymore I'm more him than I ever was me lord Identity is arbitrary and incomplete Sunrise and I'm still up drinking High tide and I'm out in it sinking Lies disguised as the knock of the door As the knock of the door The devil had took his face from me I met myself yesterday for free He charged me a dime for every line he spoke Yeah twisted my lungs and blew them up with smoke Twisted up my lungs and blew them up with smoke I can't differentiate anymore I'm more him than I ever was me lord Identity is arbitrary and incomplete Sunrise and I'm still up drinking High tide and I'm out in it sinking Lies disguised as the knock of the door Lies disguised as the knock of the door As the knock of the door As the knock of the door The story I've been dreaming of Is one to read to myself and my love To remind myself that I once was me And not just a floating head above the sea And not just a floating head above the sea I can't differentiate anymore I'm more him than I ever was me lord Identity is arbitrary and incomplete Sunrise and I'm still up drinking High tide and I'm out in it sinking Lies disguised as the knock of the door Lies disguised as the knock of the door

9.	Moving With The Storm (She's Not My Queen) 03:12	lyrics	buy track
With the help of a nudge from an invisible force Drink mysterious water from an unknown source Leading us along a predetermined course Feelings of contentment replaced with remorse Moving with the storm Our connection never torn Meaning always escaping Our purpose constantly shaping yeah Life inside a wheel The sadistic taste of feel Patterns of circles in cyclical fluctuations Added and layered with a weave of calculations So best is get patient Or meet me at the station That's where I'll be It's not my scene She's not my queen The people in our lives are strung together Our heads hearts and lungs are tethered these supple ties a floating feather Picking up wind for the worse or the better Moving with the storm Our connection never torn Meaning always escaping Our purpose constantly shaping yeah Life inside a wheel The sadistic taste of feel Patterns of circles in cyclical fluctuations Added and layered with a weave of calculations So best is get patient Or meet me at the station That's where I'll be It's not my scene She's not my queen She's not my queen It's not my scene She's not my queen

11.	Puzzles 03:55	lyrics	buy track
Just forget your name Try to look inside yourself Feel it everyday Don't do good for hear of hell Float me from the dock Clinging to a falling rock Missing puzzle piece And it puzzles me too Everything will ring true All blue And it puzzles me too Throw away your pain Cause you know it's what you do When you want go Raise your chin up to the sun We don't have to run Unless you want to just for fun Just forget your name Try to look inside yourself Feel it everyday Don't do good for hear of hell Float me from the dock Clinging to a falling rock Missing puzzle piece And it puzzles me too Everything will ring true All blue And it puzzles me too Now how 'bout you The road is long dark dead and narrow Fast and deadly kill shot speeding arrow Reflecting the flicker of the fires breath Like a room full of ominous guests Kill shot Head space Freedom Inside Wander Open Opening an untrained eye Opening an untrained eye Opening an untrained eye Opening an untrained eye Missing puzzle piece And it puzzles me too Everything will ring Everything will true Missing puzzle piece And it puzzles me too Everything will ring Everything will true Everything will ring Everything will ring true Everything will ring Everything will ring true Everything will ring Everything will ring true
