Track Name: Chelsea Song #2 (Live Acoustic)
There’s a record playing down my hall
A new gothic blues that almost was
but I can’t hear all the chords.

Now the record’s playing a perfect song
what we would have done for just one
so I pick up my guitar.

I won’t crawl out ever again
I won’t wait for it to begin
or cry for something that might have been.

The record ends
and it’s so dead and used up it won’t mend
so I won’t try anymore.

We won’t sway ever again
We won’t let you fuck with our heads
or fight for something to never end.

It’s not anger I’m feeling
So please don’t misunderstand me
when I say I don’t miss you no more.

We won’t sway ever again
We won’t let you fuck with our heads
or fight for something to never end.
I won’t crawl out ever again
I won’t wait for it to begin
or cry for something that might have been.
Track Name: Love Like Lies (Live Acoustic)
It wasn’t all the hard living finally did you down.
It wasn’t all the hard drugs that turned your head around.
It was all the stupid words you spoke pretending they were true.
It was all the plans you laid out large not knowing what to do.
If running to the left stops you running to the right,
at least you’re running straight, man, you know that’s half the fight.
And if running to yourself is your plan of last defense,
then running to yourself, boy, just might save you yet.

Forgive my body, it’s breaking.
Forgive me my hands, they’re shaking.
Forgive all those words you love like lies.

The nights are getting hard for me, it’s hard to still my mind.
I’m always thinking ugly thoughts, I’m always shooting wide.
And sleeping when I should be wild and grabbing for a piece
of every god-damned waking hour the good lord gave to me.
For the first time in a long time, man, I got down on my knees
and raised a fist toward the sky and shook it in the breeze
and caught some empty air and opened my hands to set it free
‘cause nothing’s worth much praying for if it’s never to be seen.

Forgive my body, it’s breaking.
Forgive me my hands, they’re shaking.
Forgive all those words you love like lies.
Please forgive my bones, they’re breaking.
Forgive me my soul, it’s waking.
Please forgive my love, I love like lies.
Track Name: Flash In A Bottle (Live Acoustic)
flash in a bottle pass it around
your sons and daughters will lay it down
careful to let it not touch the ground
flash in a bottle pass it around
I left the morning you got the call
father was breaking down in the hall
your sister cried like she’d never done before—
flash in a bottle broken and torn
he was a fighter making the rounds
taken to slaughter without a sound
never was angered when they ran him out of town
flash in a bottle hitting the ground
she moves her lips as she’s reading the note
he wrote that morn in the words of a poet:
‘I bid you farewell though I know not where I’m going,
like a flash in a bottle left and alone.’
flash in a bottle don’t let us down
give us no warning where you are bound
set like a sun that’s gently laying down
flash in a bottle— broken but proud
Track Name: Hymn (Live Acoustic)
Oh my lord my maker
wherefore art have you gone?
Left us here with no path and no plan—
left us on the run.

Oh my lord my breaker
look at all that you’ve done—
every prayer that we offer’s for naught,
every promise undone.

Oh my lord my savior
don’t come saving me yet.
I will offer to curse up your name—
that’s the best you get.

Oh my friend my brother
come with me to the end.
There’s a place where we sinners can rest—
there’s a place we can sin.
