Breathe Again
breathe again
it doesn't matter if i breathe again
i used my friends to make it off this dirt
i'll make it out here for what it's worth
i'm on my own time now
see again
i can almost see where life began
while i'm spinning down this wishing well
i'll say a prayer for those still stuck in hell
come pray with me
touch my skin
i can feel five lines of acid blend
winding down in this cold ass wind
the only difference is the love i send
send it with me
free dark spaces
cold dark places
i can almost see the sun from here
it doesn't matter what it's worth from here
precious, life is
yet we take it for granted it's precious

lyrics: bent kent

Restraint
pushing in the door
this sinking ship again
i built it with my patience and ignorance
reaching out my hands scratching your eyes again
i'd wish this all away but it's eating me up inside
bright lights, dumb metaphors
black lights, blue chemicals
place of restraint
it's where my bad dreams go
i built them up with scissors and paper cuts
call me insane whisper this, whisper that
i'd wish this all away but it's eating me up inside
i kind of like it
when you let things go
when you leave things pure and simple
i let you build me up, just enough to bring me down
i'd wish this all away but it's eating me up inside

lyrics: ben kent

Cracklin
feast step in line
it's hard y'all to try and live a lie
told ya
all this time
that guilt is like erosion in the mind
it took you so long to figure out
bring it back, get back
smoothe
skinless friend
the shame
to loose and never win
why did you sink so low
deep
beneath the belly of swine
it took you so long...to figure out
bring it back, get back
switch it!
never mind

Dead Man's Eyes
hey there you with the desperate eyes
have you found your gold, sold your soul yet
beware, life is just an inch in time
in the middle of nowhere
searching for true peace
looking for true peace
lookin in a dead man's eyes
cheer up, please don't get me wrong
casue you can still be happy
materially wealthy
but i know, life ain't about what you own
or who you know

lyrics: ray prim

Woman
please
don't cover me, indulge me
in you righteous eyes
i've ran, you see
i ran so fast, to hide my past
but it's still inside of me
woman
so willing
breathe
for if i breathe
my soul can sleep
and the angels can arrive
me, you ask
if i believe
in what you believe
and patiently i reply
woman
so willing
please
don't cover me, indulge me
in your righteous eyes
i've ran, i've ran so far
to hide my scars
but there still inside of me
woman
so willing

lyrics: ray prim

Plastic Savior
your demons blend with the wall
and stare at the pretty scenery
the price you paid for your soul
but were you prepared for the subtle misery of it all
search but never to find
an age of innocence
dream of perfume and wine
try and remeber when
we were smaller than life and our intentions were pure
why?
must we give ourselves up
just to build ourselves up
so many years in limbo
so now your surprised by the notoriety
they made you pawn your halo
so now your trying to make sense of it all
search but never to find
an age of innocence
dream of perfume and wine
try and remember when
we were smaller than life and our intentions were pure
plastic savior, are we on our own
plastic savior, our faith's unknown

lyrics: ray prim

Elmer's Gold
it's funny how your remember the day he left you crying
you remeber the way he told you he was dying
inside, outside this world you built together
selecting your memory like you select your lovers
the closer you get the farther
the farther he'll drift away
gallons of glue couldn't keep you together
your ball and chain wouldn't hold him forever
freedom, boredom, hand and hand with stardom
in the end it's the loneliness that always seems to please him
when hearts start confiding
old ideas start sliding
soon prides start colliding
ah at last comes the fighting
your in search of elmers gold
remember the day he left you crying
remember the way your tears were shining
the shading, the lighting
denying your feelings
the begging, the pleading
for constant forgiveness

lyrics: ray prim

Drive By
i look different but i feel the same
i think the mirror is lying again
all this gray shit danglin' from my chin
can someone tell me where the years went
i got a job but it barely pays the bills
the older i get it seems the younger the girls
someone tell me what's wrong with me
can some one tell me what's wrong
the weaker side of me
is all some see
but little do they know
my river's gonna flow
i'll be banking from my right state of mind
drifting from my left state
six years i got one to go
on 7 years of bad credit ago
then everything will be cleared up
i can finally cheer up
my mother's always stressing i can do better
sends me a letter cash in her dear son letters
i guess she thinks it'll make me feel better
yeah...i guess it makes me feel better
but
the weaker side of me
is all some see
but little do they know
my river's gonna flow
i'll be banking from my right state of mind
