Your Broken Heart

Ain't no use for me to stay.
Run out of games to play.
And the ties that bind ain't binding me no more.
Ain't no reason to delay.
Wouldn't matter anyway.
So, I'm turning and I'm walking out that door.
Walkin' out on you, it don't come easy.
Walkin' out on you comes real damn hard.
But you know it's true, nothing that I do is ever gonna mend your broken heart.
This ain't another lover's spat.
There ain't no call to tell me that.
Don't go making matters worse by holding on.
Move aside, give me my hat.
Don't dust off the welcome mat.
Now I'm turning and it's out the door, I'm gone.
Walkin' out on you, it don't come easy.
Walkin' out on you comes real damn hard.
But you know it's true, nothing that I do is ever gonna mend your broken heart.

Queen of the Sea

When I look out to sea, those brown eyes are staring back at me.
When I walk to the water you try to take me farther.
When I get too deep you let go of me.
When I lose my breath I know there's nothing left.
You've got ships in your stomach, bones in your teeth.
You've got blood on your hands, and sand on your feet.
You suck the life out of your lovers, like you suck the life from me.
And I know I can't recover from my lover
The Queen of the Sea
Her love is like the sweetest wine. Her touch will drive you right out of your mind.
Her kiss is like the ocean floor. You'll miss solid ground like never before.
She breaks hearts like waves. She takes everything that you thought you once could save.
She'll turn your heart to stone, and as soon as she's freed you, well, she's gonna leave you to sink to the bottom alone.
I can see her body shining.
Dark eyes like empty islands.
I'm drowning, and I can't swim.
She's going down and the tide is coming in.
You've got ships in your stomach, bones in your teeth.
You've got blood on your hands, and sand on your feet.
You suck the life out of your lovers, like you suck the life from me.
And I know I can't recover from my lover
The Queen of the Sea

Into the Forge

I saw you and I knew that I had to make you my own
A blast from a shotgun, a call from my radiophone
Your black hair, the cold stare, lipstick and soft monotone
I saw you and I knew that I had to make you my own
We locked eyes, you thought twice, but I would not be turned away
I would not and could not lay down and die on that day
In this light it looks like an eagle that's stalking its prey
We locked eyes, you thought twice, but I would not be turned away
Be turned away, I won't be turned away
And I spent more than I could afford
Be turned away, I won't be turned away
It's the gold and the gravel thrown into the forge
You saw me it might be the first time I ever was seen
The low lights, the hot nights, like something from a magazine
We moved fast for our class but honey you was only sixteen
You saw me it might be the first time I ever was seen
Ever was seen, that I ever was seen
And I spent more than I could afford
Ever was seen, that I ever was seen
It's the gold and the gravel thrown into the forge

Rumors

Heard a rumor in my head
That said our love is dead and I just cried
With suspicion in your mind
That love ain't really blind in the moonlight
We should get out while we can
While I'm still half a man
Cause love don't talk that way
The time for talking's over and it's done
Now it's time to pray
Heard a rumor in my heart
That said we've grown apart and I just cried
With indifference in your soul
It's gotten too damn cold in the sunlight
We should get out while we can
While I'm still half a man
Cause love don't talk that way
The time for talking's over and it's done
Now it's time to pray
Heard a rumor in my ear
That said the end is near and I just cried
You can say it's not too late
But we can't get it straight in the twilight

Deadtown

There's fire on the mountain, there's water on the ground
Our poor hearts are pounding, there's ashes coming down
It doesn't snow that often living in between two lands
Our teardrops they kept falling when they took away your dad
And we won't turn around
We don't come back now
We're too old for this here town
At least that's what we hope
We were in the army damn near all our lives
Our parents told us we were crazy, but we were never gonna die
Growing up is easy, but being grown takes too much time
We all grew up in the country, now we've left it all behind
And we won't turn around
We don't come back now
We're too young for this damn town
At least that's what I wrote
We're all grown looking back now, this town has taken so many lives
Those of us that didn't make it out are still trapped on the inside
I bet you looked like an angel that day in your wedding gown
Growing up here sure was painful, sometimes I can't help but hate this town
And we won't turn around
We won't turn back now
We won't grow out of this town
We won't get out
