Daddy Killed

Daddy killed the neighbor’s dog
Daddy was the one to slaughter the hogs
“Too much like the neck of a man,” I'd say
Oh but Daddy didn't mind
he'd do it anyway
When Momma told Daddy to kill the neighbor’s dog
He’d gotten in the duck pen adjacent the hogs
tore at the hens with a bloody grin
and got Momma set on her revenge
Daddy killed the neighbor’s dog
I never called him Daddy
I called him Rob
and he never could remember where he hid
the traces of all the things he did
there are many who’ll do as they've been told
scratching in the dark for fine flecks of gold
when our shephard was staggering, aching and old
Rob sent an arrow through her left shoulder
and while I’d like to say gratitude for lifted pain
sprang like moss from her hillside grave
the truth is I don't know who’s to say
whether the pleasure is worth the refrain
Daddy killed the neighbor’s dog
I never called him Daddy
I called him Rob

Delusions of Grandeur

damned if i wasn't hooked on the pieces i couldn't change
you threw the fit so hard when the thing hit the ground nobody came
fucked if i wasn’t cosigning on the things we’d all (the things we’d all) been saying
you threw up in your mouth
a little happenstance that you couldn’t masticate
all my love on this day
captain takes the reins to seize the sway
drowned if i wasn't prone to vilify what couldn't be rearranged
halfway inside the river’s mouth
you fell before the tide could swell the bay
all my love on this day
captain takes the reins to seize the sway
all my love on this day
captain takes the reins to seize the sway
curious, they seem hopelessly lost
making light of the heavy weight, watch the way they crawl

So Sure

pay your fees on the way to hell
You don’t have the ticket and i can tell you’ve been walking
from the way you smell
childproof collection of orange and whites
shaking in your bag, dredging up old things
Rake me coal
hate me more
be so sure
rake me coal
Pay your fees on the way to hell
the vending machine in bed with me gives drinks to all my friends
well sometimes, it depends
child-proof collection of orange and whites
Shaking in your bag, tryna remind me
rake me coal
hate me more
be so sure
rake me coal
rake me coal
hate me more
be so sure
rake me coal

Grace Hangs
04:20

I had been planning to let you go
after I cut your hair
once we finished the music video
cross your legs and change your name
no matter what they call you
you’ll always feel the same
drenched in dread
Next up at the rodeo
Off the top of my head I can’t say she was someone I had known
my body is a small thing for all this malice
back to back with the deadend of the hours
you can light the rivers on fire in this town
the stench permeates for miles around
pride swelling back up
pride falling back down
(bridge/gtr solo) 7/8, 3, 5, open [C]
see the way grace hang just around you
almost touches your face, eternally confounds you
without the cage
See the way Grace hangs
drenched in dread
next up at the rodeo
the birth of your self hatred
or at least the bloody show

Take My Name

All I want is
something that I’ve got
Take away the shot
Take away or not
Crawling on the way
How it bleeds and stings
Take away my name
Only only thin
Only only skin
Asigns all the risk
Papercut on the cyst
When i say rain
All hail the shame
Bleed the masses clean
You don’t have the sheen
I’ve been on my way
Don’t you miss me babe
Don’t you misbehave
Don’t you miss me babe
Don’t you misbehave
