In a sliver of the moon on a night like this I saw a tiger and a woman on a precipice they stood together all alone in the violent throes her body naked hair whipping and her eyes half closed She held him close to his body in the bluest night she knelt beside him watching closely in the pale moonlight for a minute I imagined her inside my life the tiger stood with the snow falling from the sky She knelt beside him with his life flowing through her veins And sang a song that I knew no one had ever sang As she sang in the sky I saw a brilliant flame, I heard the thunder and the waves calling out her name she turned her eyes upon me and the tiger roared the tiger roared she learned my whole life story in a metaphor, the tiger roared suddenly the snow stopped and my heart did too I held her gaze eyes level until she withdrew remember thinking this is beauty I had never known A looking glass through which everything else was shown the tiger stayed with his eyes look to the sea his stripes stood sentinel watching over me a decade later I can still hear the crashing tide I see the woman through the years through the tigers eyes

Spider 04:23
There's a spider tapping on my window I wonder what he wants to do with me He doesn't even know my middle name Yeah he probably thinks that I'll set him free There's a dead leaf crashing through my doorway Perceives my home as a place of reprieve It's his dead brothers that fill my driveway Preparing for their final sleep And my neighbors in his bear suit again He's trying to scare my dog away from all his hands But he won't make it through this winter, no I'll make sure that he meets his end There a sheriff tapping on my window He's yelling that he needs to speak with me I lay my head back on my pillow Maybe then he'll let me be

We left Ohio pretty much the way you gave it to us State trooper said if you don’t leave we’ll find a job back at the station, back at the station Picked us up again on the border between Canada and New York We were sober by then but my companion done lied In a customs jail with no bail, looked to my pal, he said this feels just like home In fact I think it is much nicer than our own We’ll stay a while and then get extradited home, extradited home Fell asleep again on the highway between Illinois and Cleveland My eyes were open by then but my companion said I was sleeping hard so I did my part before we got too far And then he punched me in the nose My issue rests not with the action that he chose A broken bone sure does beat traveling alone Traveling alone If we make it back before tonight If our bail comes through, like you said it might If we make it back, before tonight If Niagara Falls like you said it might

Beautiful 03:22
This face might cover up the thoughts I have most every day You're beautiful but restless Distilled in secrecy you come from earth or so they say but you are restless and violent Fog descends like a kiss The air thick with the mystery of this You look over your shoulder and your breath and your breath clears the mist Your face might hover up above my eyes in dreams you are so beautiful and broken Instill belief in me, you come to earth a day too late Your beauty worthless and violent Come in from the cold, submit your bones to the fire Lay your head upon the stone, forget your life for just a while You are twisted you are cold you are angry you've been told but you still act like you don't know
5.
The Orbiters 06:09
Boarded up the windows, drew an X across the door Mirrors in the driveway, laser beams across the floor To keep us aware To keep them out there I’m not takin my meds no more I’m gonna trade em all for ammo and alcohol and ima dig a hole in the backyard wide enough and deep enough for us all I’m not going to bed no more I’m gonna stay awake as long as it takes to find Another indication we’re not alone out here, 500 million miles is a long way to drive It’s long way to fly Then when dark descended down on us The orbiters all right above my house I wanted you to be cold as death But when i got home you were still cooking meth Paranoid, saying somebody’s in the sky ready to come down at the first morning light You were warm as a furnace your face on fire Your eyes glowed in the butane light, you said come outside Yeah come outside Then I saw the hole you’d dug yourself Six by six by four and black as hell As long as nobody calls the cops or makes any sudden movements you won't get shot a lot A lot happened when you were gone The light years passing by, such a long way to fly, yeah such a wrong way to die To keep us in there

I tied up the horses and wiped off the blood The sweet smell of anguish in the setting sun I murdered a traveler and both of his sons I took both his horses and both of his guns I ordered a whiskey and sat down hard The earth spun around me as I fell apart Suddenly silence then hammer clicks I close both of my eyes and see what happens next And all I see is red I'll be fine I guess I'll probably move out west to the unknown Where did he get They'll ask themselves and say wherever wretched cowards go Where did he go I went to the mountains to see what's left I found no remorse for the murderous theft I got it on camera the light don't lie Deleted the film and I went inside And all I see is red

Ramona Road 06:35
Check into your hotel before it gets too dark Before you fall apart from all the booze you drank Pull the shades down tight forget the world outside, forget your alibis, all your ill timed lies Turn the water on, what an accomplishment, and then you wake up four days later in a pool of blood Fast forward again, and then you're driving alone, all alone on the edge of Ramona road In tune with what we are all told Creeping toward the line, your fingers holding tight, turning your knuckles white, reaching toward the light You pull the steering wheel, the tires hit the sand, and then you wake up to one hundred thousand screaming fans Would they believe you if you told them that you lied, and that you had been lying your entire life Someone took your shoes and someone took your coat, next thing you know it there's a knife at your open throat In tune with what we are all sold I'm breaking down

Well I went down to the forests and the fields and I met a man and he told me to run for governor So I left home for the sickness, for the sickness in the leaves from the trees of my soul I'll smoke whatever you decide to put in my lungs and I'll drink all of that poison that our parents told us comes it comes from the devil, from the devil in the snake who sowed the seed of temptation I am a man, I am falling toward the sky, I am starting to realize that you're gone I am a drug, I am fixated on love, but you know that you can trust my mind But when the seasons change I'm fine Yeah when the seasons change I'm fine I am asleep and I dream of things to eat and I wait for you to walk to my door You aren't mad you're just trying to make me sad but the game that we once had we have no more But then I feel your cold wind doth blow and then I see your ice and your snow and then the fumes fill the car and I inhale your guitar and your notes and all the oxygen we missed won't mean nothing when we kiss, I'm so stoned This stuff magnifies all the doubt that's in your eyes, and the satellites that fly by your brain Drinking something laced with the terrifying taste of the shame and the disgrace in your veins then you hold the rag to my mouth and you leave it there til I pass out Sleeping soundly in a pocket, a pocket made for dead men
