Owsthens 03:44
Dirty, Scummy, Filthy riding through the rain Drownin our brains temporarily insane, Wake up in the morning and do it all again You know the boys who are wearing the brand Not giving a toss about how you feel We are the owsla on wheels Stay on your toes when we come around Smashin' through your town Fast passing you, black out kings Cruisin' ever true, black out kings Fast picking three, Heathens are we Swift through the shadows through darkness we see Unto you we bring bittersweet melodies Cut from our hearts, spit through our teeth Within the woods or out in the street Heathens the fire we forever feed Raising your fist when we come around Smashing through your town Howling under the moon, Heathens sing Falling out of tune, Heathen strings Everywhere we go, trudging through the snow Down 40's to numb the cold, fast passing you As our fingers start to freeze We'll play until they bleed Til from this world we're free We're screaming to you, struggling through Fast passing you, black out kings Howling under the moon, Heathens sing Cruisin' ever true, black out kings Falling out of tune, Heathen strings

Marigolds 04:01
Happiness is just a myth and were all stuck in the middle of it The kind of place where we would talk like the train tracks we would walk And it's like water under the bridge Or those sticky notes you'd leave on the fridge Kind of like the rain storms out on the porch Or those 4 AM talks in the court And I hope I get these last words fucking right Because I fucked up countless times to even try And I doubt these marigolds will help the blight But I brought them here for you to have tonight Come back to me my darling please I've been running around the train tracks for you So I will hold this IV til it drains the life from me Because life is too damn cruel without company Because this world is just a grave without you to see And I hope I didn't lose my only chance to make it right But your eyes are telling me otherwise There's plenty of regrets that stand between you and I And I doubt these marigolds will mend the time My marigolds will never bloom for you

Pack your bags, pack your photographs and take one last look cuz were never coming back I believe were calling it quits Lets take our chances while they're still on the table, and still in tact My heart is pounding in my chest and I'm losing my breath All the things that I once knew are never coming back I believe were throwing in the towel Starting our lives on the back burner So heres to life, heres to death Heres to the mayans and whats left Heres to the rubble and the trouble Murders and the thefts Im so fucking glad it's over No more pain to be in debt Don't hold your breath cuz were all going down tonight Like a sinking ship were jumping off for life With no buoy and no life vest to stay a float We might as well make the best of a bad joke Tell me everything will be alright Theres no apocalypse, no virus, and no war to fight It's all a hoax or at least I hope But hopes and dreams never seem to unfold No more movie premieres No more first dates and no more fears No more favorite shops down the street No more victories and no more defeats Because the end is here to stay So no more playgrounds for us to play So ante up cuz Olive, our chips are stacked It's the end of the world and we ain't going back tonight

A thousand years ago there was fire in the skies Ash across the land and fear in our eyes A prophecy foretold of a mere peasant boy Impervious to fire and hellish roaring noise Rah goes the dragon There was a time when there was hope Before man fell to his knees Children frolicked the fields And kings all reigned in peace But on this dying earth Our lives the demon seized Now everything's a fray We live below in misery One day in the wilderness they found a starving lad Who lost his only family and everything he had They took him in, fed him and raised him to be strong he Swore he'd drive the dragons from the land where we belong Rah goes the dragon One day the bastard boy took up his sword and said to the mighty beast, "Depart from these lands or surrender your head!" The beast said, "Nay! For I am lord of the air and burner of worlds, and your kind is the only real filth on this earth!" The boy said "Today is your day, your day to die!" And with a growling breath of fire the dragon said "We shall see!" Down goes the dragon

The Burg 04:26
Fruits and veggies and trinkets and rings Old carpenters, blacksmiths, and gamblers and fiends All lined to the road impatiently sold To the merchants that run this whole town to the mold These vendors are sellin' and buyers are yellin In materialistically restive serenades They're armed to the teeth, with gold to release In an unfair trade for the lug that we need One more knot it my noose and I'll be old news A gesture, a muse, a flame for the fuse One more flint for the knife and I'll be old life The final act of the night The scum of the land showcased at hand The townsfolk was singing and I was roped, dead and swinging Step, step right up Come one and come all to the stand of the fall This burg is a crumblin' one fool at a time So dig your hands in your redemption has arrived Five fingers are put to good use An obstacle jumped for the good of the few Invisible peasants lay waste in the hell While fat chucklin' monarchs just eat, drink and swell So burn this burg and take the reward If they find you and catch you, you'll surely be sore But first they must do so, so gorge and gorge This markets for the taking so take what is yours

Wolves 04:08
Well the time has come to put your life aside Pack up your children, your father, mother, wife Take to the hills, better find a place to hide For the wolves are out with an all seeing eye They're coming for you and they're coming for me They're coming for all who are not elite They have armies of puppets and their blood is pure For this civilian disease, there is no cure Dare we stand against this plight Or cowardly run and hide The wolves stalk the day and night In constant fear for our lives As plastic coffins stack behind the parking lots that dub us blind Cast your vote and you will see the very horror of your dreams They feast on our flesh and they drain our blood They fix to bring us down to none Shape shift lies twist demon in disguise They decide who lives and dies We are many and they are few Is it unclear what we should do Peel the filth from your blind eyes Or suffer through a dark demise Love your neighbor as thy self Dust off all your weapons shelves Soon there will be no where to flee This world is ours not theirs to keep As plastic coffins stack behind the parking lots that dub us blind Cast your vote and you will see the very horror of your dreams

First drink of the evening fill me up, fill me up Slavin' in the cold from the dawn til' the dusk Behind a hollow grin is where a tired soul is found So when your glass is full drink it down, drink it down I'll have another lager fill me up, fill me up One or five or thirty pints, there never are enough Take a drink and pass it down and buy another round The glasses are a clankin' drink em down, drink em down I'll have another cider fill me up, fill me up One or five or thirty pints, there never are enough Take a drink and pass it down and buy another round The glasses are a clankin' drink em down, drink em down I'll have another vodka fill me up, fill me up Just give me the bottle cuz the shots are not enough I am a thirsty heathen from a dirty dying town Chanting up the owsla drink em down, drink em down Last call of the evening fill me up, fill me up We're running out of time cuz there never is enough Take a drink and slam it down before you hit the ground The glasses are a breakin' drink em down, drink em down

Photographs 03:31
These photographs are all that I have left A better life inside these rugged memories But a shoebox won't hold forever And soon they'll be spilling out from the seams I'm not sure whats worse Losing them, losing it or losing me And it seems that all that I live for these days Are just drunken nights and drunken masquerades It's a funny game of charades that we play As we prey on ourselves to find it anyway We'll put on a show for us And its hard to live and its hard to die And its hard enough to ask why But its easy to forget when all you got Is a bottle of whiskey and time I spend my days trying to find the ways to numb my brain To forget about the routines that I hate So we drink and we fight And we reminisce about those nights Where nothing could touch us Not even the world outside But time is slipping away (You left us on the curb) And we're wasting we're wasting away (Never to return) The time is slipping away Your photographs are gone

Suzie April 01:45
Let me tell you 'bout a girl my girlfriend doesn't like She keeps me going all day long and dreaming sweet at night Her name is Suzie April and she's always going fast She tosses you head over heels and lands you on your ass She likes it when I ride her down the street behind a car She's always good and lubed up cuz shes knows I give her hard I love it when she squeals and all the ways she makes me feel Suzie April you've stolen my heart Eight beers deep I saddle up she don't want a sober man She wants it drunk and dirty to last the longest that it can The ol' lady is calling me says where the fuck are you If she had someone like Suzie, hell she'd be cheatin' too Let me tell you 'bout a girl my girlfriend doesn't like Goddamn it Suzie April i'm so glad that you're my bike

Oh, Apathy! 02:48
My ambitions have gone out the window They are sinking in the depths of the ocean with no warning My frail solemn bones are aching From this tired words to redeem my self What was I thinking I wasn't that's the point that you are missing Lost causes in the voids while I was drinking You said it's unhealthy But the truth be told I was only bored Oh tragedy, you've come to confide in me once more But I was passed out on the floor Oh irony, I feel like you've been here before But the lights were off and there was no one home To greet you at the door Reclamation, a reckless report of renovations A sequence of chores and innovations It sounds like a bore Could you turn the tube back to channel 4 My television has more reaction the looks that you have given On trial with crooks, there's no division I'm one in the same, but you're always wrong I'll never point the blame Oh tragedy, you've come to confide in me once more But I was passed out on the floor Oh irony, I feel like you've been here before But the lights were off and there was no one home Oh subtly, you thought you could sneak past me Well you we're fucking right, I could care less you see Oh apathy, my closest friend that I keep And you say get a job, but I've got a hobby I've got a hobby

One more word and that will be enough One wrong move and you'll be in cuffs You will cry and you will plea You must learn to not test me Never ever speak your mind Swallow down my endless lies Court order this and court order that You are poor and now entrapped I'll decide whatever's your crime Watch your dollars turn to dimes You'll empty your pockets, empty them for me For my masters overflows with greed Empty your pockets, empty them for me For now it is your turn to be unseen My injustice can't be seen Forever justified my schemes Sovereign truth are my words You've a voice that can't be heard Stalk you in the dead of night Strip you of your civil rights Hidden behind a shield of gold Our wretched tales ever untold The weight of the gavel has taken its toll Unwillingly falling into their hold You'll empty your pockets, empty them for me For my masters overflows with greed Empty your pockets, turn them inside out Hand over all you can't live without Empty your pockets, to these times pay heed Believe your masters are not whom they seem

Iron Fists 04:20
Dear friend, amends I'm writing on the walls til bittersweet words start to squall And tear the sails from shipwrecked friends I'm torn, I'm writing door to door and what is more I cant afford the feeble fragments of a washed up mend While there is no feat, I was still reluctant to have had that greet A noted failure, a notch in my belt I'll stand up and try with someone else I'll try with anyone Cast your iron fists aside There's no more room for the swollen egos to be guiding the tides Collectively we're headed downward to the divide So why not die with a friend at your side Oh why not die with some pride Show your teeth again Your reputations got a nasty fucking contagion Your presumption is an ill leaded folk tale friend So why not stand without falter to fend Oh why not seize the end Nihilistic interests keep us closer to our hearts and never more apart We'll start captivating inspirations where our stories will flourish But our stories won't flourish Because our bonds are broken and torn We're all just riding blindly into this storm No ones gonna save us When will you lend a hand Our bonds are broken and torn We're all just gonna die here all alone No ones gonna save us anymore Please entertain the notion that this is coming undone Please entertain the notion that this is falling apart Please entertain the notion that this disdain is our fault Please entertain us, Please entertain us
