I don't have no safety rope Climbing up the wall No one here to give me hope No one round at all I don't have no hang glider For my upcoming fall First time in my life that I I'm prepared to die Something good is keeping me here Hold onto me and help me steer Give me the balls to stay alive And ask what's really going on Pushed off the deep end Learning how to swim Drowning is inevitable But I'm determined to win I don't have no life vest As I breath the water in It fills up my lungs But I don't have to run Something good is keeping me here Hold onto me and kill my fear Give me the balls to stay alive And ask what's really going on I think it's something love Hanging on the brink of time Seconds pass like days I've been here before I said But it's all a haze There is not a kill switch There's no saving grace You just have to let go And then you get to know That something good is keeping me here Hold onto me and keep reality near Give me the balls to stay alive And ask what's really going on I think it's something love

Lady Unknown 03:49
I walked away from my home in the woods Bears and monsters frighten me, never thought I could Where do I go? Who do I see? Never really thought much about a man besides me. Hey Mr. sailor man, where yah headed? I'm tryin to get out of here, never thought I could He said, "Son, it's long. You don't even know But if you can mop the deck and raise the sail I won't say no." Those long windy days took a lot out of me Never been on the water before, let alone at sea Well I found a girl, she sang me songs of old With a voice so perfect I forgot the water's cold I wrapped my arms around her, I didn't mind if I drowned As long as I could spend just one more minute with that beautiful sound Then her croon became a shriek, soft lips bear sharp teeth All the light bled from my eyes as she took me underneath Now I get a sense just how it felt for the men on the Edmund Fitz That deep dark see won't ever release you from her frozen maleficent mitts But what a way to die, I was too drenched to cry Maybe one day I'll get a proper grave as I wash up on high tide As my dying breath left I had a chance to regret ever leaving home But it's much too late and I've sealed my fate and besides, who could have known? And who's to say it's much better to have lived scared and alone? Now I see the light and know my choice was right to die in the arms of Lady Unknown

Thick little girl she wanna tell me stuff But I don't listen cuz I talk too much But she's real patient yah she waits for me When will she realize I'm trying not to see So throw me a line, throw me a noose Gimme little something I can put to use But she knows best she don't tell me shit She knows that I'm already looking at it But I'm waiting for you Don't you see I have a game too I'm in need of want And oh the way you flaunt But thick little girl she says it don't come easy You gotta play your part if you want me to get sleezy So don't expect much and don't you come and touch And maybe stop thinking that you're owed as much But I'm waiting for you Don't you see I have a game too You reflect on me my greed My despising underneath I, I'll tell you what You're no peace of mind you're just a piece of ass It has to do with luck And with any you'll soon find out that it's like fuck I don't know if I care I wouldn't dare It's just like

When the rain hits the forest and the fungi grows You'll find out there a girl who really does know that every day's a blessing and every fall's a lesson You gotta take em as they come and they go She cuddles with a plush in her starlit slumber I bathe in her warmth and she holds me under She's born of the clouds and her presence ain't loud She holds me like no other Roving stars they follow you Shine white light on a broken world Raise up life from that salted ground you till You pout like a puppy when we're done with words You got a collar to match I think my roommates heard You flash me in the hall and put rainbows on my wall All while being a fucking nerd Roving stars they follow you Shine white light on a broken world Raise up life from that salted ground you till You sure got a funny way about Keeping me honest, making me say aloud All them things I keep to myself I'll tell you but nobody else And when you hit me with that tigress stare You remind me there's a place for fire In a world where it's so rare

I'm out here a thousand miles from my home Walking the road of the men who've gone down Seeing the world of people and things Dear paupers and peasants and princes and kings Hey old Bobby I'm borrowing your song To sing about this funny world that's somehow still hanging on Everybody's fighting it don't seem we have long So I look for some wisdom in all the old folk songs And hey old Bobby I know you don't need to hear All these things you've been singing for your many long years But seeing all the hate and the rage and the fear I'm not sure we've been listening, not opening our ears Here's to The Stones and The Doors and Zeppelin as well And all you crazy guys that let us raise up hell The world was missing something and you helped put it back So let's keep it all in mind and get this world back on track I'm not saying you were wrong we just took it too far I can't spend my whole life trying to be just like you are But the one thing I've wanted above all else Was to say I got tangled up in a little bit of blues myself

Don't gotta talk about it just trying to get used to you It's startin to seem like we can't do the things we used to do Don't gotta worry bout me I'm learning how to give a fuck Not much to say to yah just wanted to say good luck And why does it always have to be This way between you and me And if you're going back that way my friend Would you leave me there until the end? Sometimes the stars at night they sure do get me moved They're like you're eyes they lift me up each time I lose But them stars they never struck me down paralyzed Oh that's just you baby tellin me silent lies Do you care if he cries? Shrivels up inside And if you're going back that way my friend Would you leave me there until the end? We've had good times together but I think that we both know I got somewhere to be and baby you can't go I stand here now saying I don't wanna see you no more So don't invite me in when I come knocking at your door Why can't I ever resist your sweet Babylonian kiss? And if you're going back that way my friend Would you leave me there until the end? Would you leave me there until the end? All the nights I spent alone Talkin by myself Never wanted to bother you Or be somebody else Hey come to think of it, it looks like we're all here I may not say it much but I'd like to keep y'all near It might not mean much to you but I think it's pretty cool to be A couple kids just making our way through history And I'd hate to see A world without you and me And if you're going back that way my friends Would you lead me there until the end? I hadn't thought about it but I suppose you'd be there too I can't decide if I'd want to spend it all with you I couldn't choose I had to get down on my knees And ask the Lord "Have mercy, can I go with her please?" And He said, "Are you kidding Me? What is it that you can't see? And if you go back that way my friend, I'll leave you there until the end!" Well if You say so I guess I'll take it from You It's just a shame that Your Verdict got me feeling so blue So where we going now I gotta lotta songs to play To keep You in my heart and sing my blues away Oh Your impossible Task You didn't even ask And if I'm going back that Way my friend Would You wait for me until the end? Would You wait for me until the end? I've seen the ways You do I've talked to You I've seen so many people Feeling so blue I read a story once about a guy who came back from the dead He didn't rest he said, "All I saw was red" I thought a while bout it, I think I figured out what went wrong Well love sure burns when you've been away from Home too long And when you finally realize Everybody dies And when you're coming back this way my friends I'll be waiting for you til the end I'll be waiting for you til the end
