Mont Ne 02:56
You dance in the echo chamber Where gods float around your mind Digging into why they put you In this place and time Settle down the river basin as air goes foamy and white Beautiful mont ne Gods gift to man they say Health resort to all the world Is beautiful mont ne Break Don't put your weight in that rope I don't want you losing hope I can see from your folded ears You've been dreading this for years Rosy cheeks and purer blood They gain there day by day In mountain air, water rare At beautiful mont ne I can see the corona leakage At the edges of your form Static flowing through your being Grounding out in broken words Beautiful Mont Ne For 100 years they sang Cover over all the forms Of the ones who came before Em am c f If I fall into what I'm not Came I come back to what I've got Retreat back to rust and gravel Every single chance is shot Beautiful mont ne For 100 years they sang But when it doesn't fit What can we make of it? Beautiful mont ne Gods gift to man they say Shape my form to fit your image As long as it's got a tail

The mustangs fly over the east side of the city Fueled by the souls lost to profit and plunder taking you over and checking you out and under When all check and balances are loaded with cash and your valuable body turns to ash as you run out of phlogiston And I'll keep Clinging to cows And keep dodging bullets They want us to breed faster we might not get through it Eat right through our bones Out of house and home Scream down the phone As if anyone's home to hear it tonight, we'll fight for the future of the places we've turned into hell it's a cracking, hollow shell and you know that a suture won't help Another tree will fell Another lie they'll tell another bullet through the tender I dig in my claws And hold on to what's left I'm slipping and cracking and losing myself Return to the earth where I'm most worth Rotting and smelling and yowling as loud as I can

It was one last time that I let myself slip Colder in the cave than it is in the stream Merge into bodies, bite at the bit One more time that I let myself dream It's one more roll of film One less chemical reaction It's one little slip and the door bursts open Both beamed off the same ufo One week later i'm raring to go Down to the floor and let me roam Open my heart and weave unto yours I hope that I stay young forever I hope the worst's finally over I hope that the next pissfly that I hit Finally fuckin sticks It's one more roll of film One less chemical reaction It's one little skip And I burst open

FOX 02:47
Take over my body And leave me misconstrued Take over my brain Make unto you And I don't know when You'll end in pain And I don't know how To explain Fox will you let me Take back my mind Fox will you let me Go back to the wild And I don't know when And where you were And you can't know How much it hurts Fox will you let me Take back my mind Fox will you let me Go back through the cave When will I see What I was meant to be Through screens of human misunderstanding Fox will you let me Let go of this plight Fox will you let me Get on this flight

Solace 04:07
Take one last look at what you've done Seconds made in moments Take one last look at where you’ve gone Gone for all time I can’t go back home where the free spirits roamed Forests destroyed Gone for all time But I can't stay here And neither can you where either soul rings true My winter coat won’t come in I’m frozen in the snow again Silent in the solace Louder than ever I dig my claws and remind myself This is forever Silently standing on cliff edges Wondering what was meant Wind fluttered through my fur but I can’t have it Trading scents in the kitchen Wood pellet stove is lickin I knew who you were You knew as mine Quiet forever Talk for all time And you cant know How much it hurts And you can’t know what you’re worth Everything's breathing Your hearts still beating Influence left Gone for all time The hospital you were born in Soon won’t be there Memories forged here Floating on the air

asfo? 01:35
You opened your teeth and smiled at me The beast I tried to tame I asked you to remember me You didn't feel the same I thought we had agreed To keep your claws sheathed I thought you wanted me But I was being preyed On The reflector disks in your eyes Threw up caution lights Heavy breath and yellow eyes Sighing in delight I guess I should have known better To be playing with a predator I guess I should have known better Or I'd be here today I wish you would have played fair Before you went out of control I wish you would have heard my cry Before you took my soul

G em am c I'm playing guitar at 3am And the upstairs neighbors are knocking on the floor I have to get out what I feel right now Before they come down with a .44 G em am c Fields and valleys of concrete A Walmart would look neat Places where people walked On two or four bare feet G em am d7 Everything that's been laid out for me Everything was here before Everything that was under you Everything you were G em am c d G em am c Clear cut forest, bridge for convenience Bodies dug up for bike paths No part of leveling a mountain Will ever help me get to sleep History saved by burning it down Amphitheaters underwater Keep your bars across your cave Don't let anyone go down G e am d7 Cause they might get stuck End up with bad luck When the grim reaper can't reach you You know you're truly fucked A coyote on a fencepost On a day that never happened Sating me of things I worry Will one day happen again Everything that's here before me Everything you were Everything that's been destroyed Your long forgotten fur Everything's come down around me Everything you were Everything you dug your claws in Have I ever seen your fur? Static cut in on the radio To tell me it's okay Slide the van door open wide There will come another day

Sometimes you're a starling Sometimes you're a kite You're a hyena from early to mid afternoon You're a stray dog at night It's the most amazing thing I've ever seen How you will not act like a human being When you put on your special coat and You made your special lunge for my throat Between you and me It was, it was really exciting It's the most alarming thing I've ever seen How you will not act like a human being It's the most incredible thing I've ever seen How you refuse to act like a human being In the starlight In the starlight In the starlight In the starlight In the starlight In the starlight In the starlight In the starlight In the starlight

I see your money on the floor I felt the pocket change though all The feelings that broke through that door Just didn't seem to be too real The yard is nothing but a fence The sun just hurts my eyes Somewhere it must be time for penitence Gardening at night is never where Gardening at night Gardening at night Gardening at night The neighbors go to bed at ten Call the prayer line for a change The charge is changing every month They said it couldn't be arranged We echoed up the garbage sound But they were busy in the rows Which fell enough to see the sun Gardening at night just didn't grow I see your money on the floor I felt the pocket change though all The feelings that broke through that door Just didn't seem to be too real Gardening at night Gardening at night Gardening at night Your sister said that you're too young They should know they've been there twice The call was two and fifty-one They said it couldn't be arranged I see your money on the floor I felt the pocket change though all The feelings that broke through that door Just didn't seem to be too real We echoed up the garbage sound But they were busy in the rows Which fell enough to see the sun Gardening at night just didn't grow Gardening at night Gardening at night Gardening at night
