It's a quiet, lonely, road Goin where nobody goes There's a compass in the sky There's a compass in the sky With fences crossing green I cannot help, but sing from shores to mountains high There's a compass in the sky Whether dead or alive What's your story? Have you killed a man before? Have you broken any hearts? Have you seen a rising sun or walked the sands down at the shore, where you see the bluest seas and the moon, so clearly? Well I've spoken to sheep and sang to the streets I drank the town's home brew I would rather die in life, with a story To say what I've done before Maybe, do a little more Well, my thumb points at the road Whether rain, or shine, or snow I will sing, to you, my life That's the only thing I know Well I've spoken to sheep and sang to the streets I drank the town's home brew I've traveled around the world and the Earth, it humbles me

Ton Deaf 01:52
he walks a mile and leaves a path there's footsteps right behind a thousand types of different shoes only one set keeps the line still, he thumbs away to different states the bugs all land on him there's humming birds comin' out his teeth and turkey in the backseat drinking whiskey in the morning and whiskey at night the spirit's in between his lips and cat turds in his pipe the mountain man from my homeland telling stories of the sand he sings his songs about the road while the herds behind the fence still, he thumbs away to different states the bugs all land on him there's humming birds comin' out his teeth and turkey in the backseat drinking

four wheels and a plank of wood no cars, not old enough fucking, skate down to the park that was three miles, with a pocket full of change bought teas right down the street burning holes from socks to feet running right past the elementary stetson hills was fucking sweet but this was one fucked up memory that always rolls past me it's stabbing holes in my head like what happened to my best friend a few years, we've met some friends a bunch had fallen into trends then, he started walking past me in the halls his pupils never small sugar canes up in his nose and coked out philosophies his thoughts are all dark and empty as crystals filled like this one fucked up memory that always rolls past me its stabbing holes in my head like what happened to my best friend cameron

Pisces 'R Us 02:18
there's this one girl in my town that i've known for a while she's short, skinny, with black hair and had the prettiest smile that i've ever seen well, she takes vitamins because she doesn't ever eat well... not any meat. she's what you call a branch of vegetarian it's the dumbest thing i've heard it's a piscitarian and the food she eats, it's not a long list but she limits herself to veggies, fruits and fish well, i like food for what it is if i could put it in a fire, or eat it fresh and sometimes knowing what people eat is the reason why i smoke cigarettes i asked her why she chose this route, she said "people harming animals should not be allowed" she's seen those commercials where people do violent things and i told her, "thats the bullshit that PETA stream" i said, "i dont know why you believe in that, but you're currently suffering from an excessive lack of fat" and that happens to both, models and kids where you can pick up sticks and play drums on their ribs i told her, "i don't think you've ever fished" i said, "do you know how ironic this is?" you throw a hook, and you bait the thing and when it eats it, it pierces right behind its teeth then you take a knife and insert it in its ass and slice upwards, roughly, up to its neck then you pull out its intestines simultaneously, its soul goes to heaven

Sunday Blues 03:20
i wait outside of church every sunday begging for some change for some water but everybody walks on by knowing that the father needs your money, too well, everyone's dressed well to impress the man in the clouds who's done nothing, for me anyway so i walked on in, lighting a cigarette sunday blues too good for you sunday blues and jesus, too the smoke comes blaring out my nose i take the cup with the water that they pray i don't care where your hands have been i'm just goddamn thirsty i haven't eaten in so damn long your body is a sugar cookie, i feel strong look at all of them pray i'm drinking from the holy grail, getting tipsy when they open their hands to pray im giving out low 5s there all day and when the basket comes around im thinking i got a grant from bank of america as a man ex-catholic i just think what would jesus do if god has a plan for me and you then every sunday, i'll be coming through

with bloody eyes; the morn moonlight up and out again light a pathway to the grail serving pints down at the end hear the stomping on the ground hear the stomping on the ground raise our glasses to a cheers this is where my life begins natives all surround me were singing all the same ill raise my bloody drink with 50-proof tears its rigid past o'neils, o'donogues i saw the band a pint or two at the guinness house and stole their honored glass the ladies made the irish way they nicely turned me down but never left, they stayed around and i knew that this was home

With Anchors 02:41
feeling helplessness is everlasting pain pierce needles in my eye, i hope to feel something where is my conscience where is my angel like children it left me im fevered by a lonliness thats nothing like before nothing so silent oh watery cemetery drowning the weight with anchors sing to me lullabies or send me away with anchors choices oblivious, nothing is real a captive to honor and barter the deal a tender-full life is a terrible lie if you go as the sea turns into tides that listens to dirt that made up of gold oh watery cemetery drowning the weight with anchors sing to me lullabies or send me away with anchors (anchors away) the drowning of hymns
