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

Here's To The Mayans
03:22
|
|||
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

Rah Goes The Dragon
03:34
|
|||
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

Drink 'em Down
02:08
|
|||
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

Empty Your Pockets
04:36
|
|||
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
