This town will cry tonight We live or die tonight Oh God, I live by the gun The women scream for me The men, they bleed for me I lose myself every time I lose more every time We've trained for nights and days And yet we feel this way Ready the horses and the guns The booze may steal my heart But it won't ease my part Shoot them quick and don't let them run Why must we live for this hunt? But if you believe me This life will never end And if you believe me I swear I'll never ride again This book is coming to a close, I know Every hour that I take I just want to go home Some way back home The moon is shining down And I can hear the sounds Of the children as they sleep Oh God, please kill me now And I won't lay them down Their little hands, they're at your feet Oh God, deliver me from this But if you believe me This life will never end And if you believe me I swear I'll never ride again This book is coming to a close, I know Every hour that I take I just want to go home Some way back home

Should I try and hold you close When all the while you're bleeding from your throat? Escaping every seed we've sown But you still fear the hunger And in my father's eyes We must look at the way we live our lives Oh, the body may die but man will live forever And I could never just let you go But these hands I held have grown so cold I could never just let you go But you might be the one that got away The rain may pour, oh, the wind it may blow But your sweet tar heart still shines like gold Sometimes I wish I'd just given up You might make it worth my while So it seems I've built this fire Now should I just walk away or piss it out? But now your headlights burn like fire in the night I feel like an escaped criminal Keeping so far out of sight that I lose myself But even from these hills I still hear my sweet Laura cry, oh I Send me dark blue roses when I die And I see right through those crystal eyes The dark dens you're born of And don't you think that I don't know Those crooked paths you may follow Even lying there, left shattered upon the floor You're still no better than that golden calf You represented incarnate Oh, I know you are a liar Still, take a seat by this fire for just a little while Laura, oh, Laura I have tried to leave you behind me But I remained more faithful than I had intended to be I reach for a cigarette, I cross the street I go to the movies or a bar, I buy a drink I speak to the nearest stranger Anything that can blow your candles out Nowadays these are lit by lightning So blow out your candles, Laura And say goodbye

Othello 03:04
Oh, my sweet Othello You have done my fragile heart wrong You wish for every tear, a crocodile Thought I betrothed the best But now all my joy is gone Now you'll patronize, you'll pillage, and you'll plunder You may cut me down in their own city streets And you might be the wave that pulls me under But I won't be the rug between your feet Oh, the witches and the she-wolves, they could never Never be the blade that could tear us apart But the treacherous ways of your beloved neighbor They will surely stop the beating of my heart Oh, my sweet Othello You have done everything so wrong You wish for every tear, a crocodile Thought I betrothed the best But soon found I was wrong My mind, it may be quick and it may be quiet As your hands and my throat did quickly meet But as I lay here silently sleeping It will be your blood that stains these sheets Oh, my dear lord, Othello You have done everything so wrong You wish for every tear, a crocodile Thought I betrothed the best But soon found I was wrong Oh, my dear lord, Othello You have caused this fragile heart harm You wish for every tear, a crocodile Thought you betrothed a whore But soon found you were wrong

Dear Rosalina, I have tried and I have failed To keep my faithful eyes upon you I fear this time I might have gone too far I treaded carefully and turned to you with open arms But now all I smell is coconut And the remnants of my barren heart Oh, our flatline love was never hopeful from the start So flee this brothel of my poorly-crafted lies And leave me, leave me on my own I've painted you so many strange colors in my mind To justify the lies I told my Rosalina Rosie, I have tried and failed you a second time Dear Rosalina, know that I, I adore you Oh, our flatline love was never hopeful from the start So flee this brothel of my poorly-crafted lies And leave me, leave me on my own Dear Rosalina, it seems like months Since I've been writing you these letters You'd think that I'd know better But I don't know no better But I'm a liar, I said I'd built the fire But I had only seen it I didn't mean it when I said that I would try Recall I said that I'm a liar But I have tried and I have failed a billion times You know that I I said I built the fire but I hadn't even seen it I didn't mean it when I said that I would try I think that I'm alone You say you think that I'd know better But it's apparent I will never know no better But I'm not alone, I see you out my bedroom window I see your face, your lights are off Your posessions in every corner of my home Dear Rosalina, I have tried But I haven't failed to show you this time Oh, our flatline love was never hopeful from the start
