Ease Me 03:47
[Verse] Ease Me Wasn't love supposed to ease me I am sorry buy I can't change because I never learned to heal [Chorus] And sorry's always better than a goodbye Keep feeling like we had this conversation You can save your love and give it to me next time Because you know that I'll be right here waiting patient [Verse] Easy Wasn't love before so easy Hardly sober when I look back But that don't change the way I feel [Chorus] And sorry's always better than a goodbye Keep feeling like we had this conversation You can save your love and give it to me next time Because you know that I'll be right here waiting patient

Cellophane 04:02
[Verse 1] My head has got so heavy It weighs as much as a house Wherever I'm going, you know I've got to hold it Until I can lay it down When you speak I listen To all the things you've done As your tongue sharpens, my heart hardens Turning me to stone [Verse 2] Girl, you got a ribbon Tied so tight around my neck You say I've got complacent, maybe I'm just patient I can hold my breath When you finally left me I hung red curtains in our room Whenever I'm sleeping, feels just like I'm bleeding And all this bloods for you [Chorus] I can see through you like cellophane I know that your word don't mean a thing

Last Rites 03:47
[Verse] Death knell for a old flame Still ringing in your man's heart New light through an old pane fights the shadow boxer Hands up when the bell rings You can take off your gloves Honey, you can't compete with the prodigal love [Chorus] Tell me, baby, was I in your dreams last night All black; the priest reading the last rites Never wake me up We can live forever Holding on in love's planned obsolescence [Verse] Twin fates limn a fault line Shook a boy from his shadow Carved her in the echo of a voice down the mountain Earth shakes and the cracks bloom A voice swells in its own wake Honey, you can't compete with no prodigal love [Chorus] Tell me, baby, was I in your dreams last night All black; the priest reading the last rites Never wake me up We can live forever Holding on in love's planned obsolescence

Fountain 03:48
[Verse] I was maybe distant; never hard to reach The way you tell it I was overseas It's not like I wasn't there You say you miss me; wanna talk about it My heart is empty; my head's so crowded I dunno if I still care [Chorus] You strike a fist into the grave You claw the dirt and call my name You never knew which way to fall Am I the crutch you're leaning on [Verse] Take all your pennies up out my fountain Go find another for you to drown in I never thought that this would last Came with best intentions and left with nothing I need someone I can practice love with What I wouldn't give for another chance [Chorus] You strike a fist into the grave You claw the dirt and call my name You never knew which way to fall Am I the crutch you're leaning on [Bridge] If you call out With my name on your tongue, well, I'm not coming I wasted two good years on you and I'm still running So who's left to lean since I'm gone and I'm gone Yeah, who's gonna love you when I don't love you [Chorus] You strike a fist into the grave You claw the dirt and call my name You never knew which way to fall Am I the crutch you're leaning on

[Verse 1] I watch TV, turn my mind to better things Cause sometime living gets you down I've got my health, I'm living well At least I'm this side of the ground [Chorus] Cause it's heaven or hell for me There ain't no in between I loved you then but this is now Cause it's heaven or hell for me There ain't no in between I think I'm hooked I'm going down [Verse 2] When I can't sleep, I count my signs Every day feels like the last I brush my teeth, take out the trash And wait on love to take me back [Chorus] Cause it's heaven or hell for me There ain't no in between I loved you then but thats the past Cause it's heaven or hell for me There ain't no in between I love you still but it'll pass [Chorus] Cause it's heaven or hell for me There ain't no in between I loved you then but this is now Cause it's heaven or hell for me There ain't no in between I think I'm hooked I'm going down
