Woke up on your skin I’ve never felt like this before Woke up trembling I feel electric underwater Lay me down low Lay me down low I’m coming down slow So lay me down low We made a fire in the purest way When you explode it’s my holiday I took too much it was my mistake But I can be blamed I’m insatiable Keep me howling baby I’ll be your beast I’ll be your dog Keep me howling baby And I’ll keep begging you for you more Lay me down low Lay me down low I’m coming down slow So lay me down low Come lay me down in a shallow grave Unholy dove don’t let me fly away Tie both my hands, will you wash my face? I want to stay Insatiable Insatiable I lay me down at the feet of your beauty Power my spirit awaken within me My blood and my body will sing out your praises Save me, save me, save me now I was made clean when you took my shame I was made pure in that holy place You set me free on my final day But I will remain Insatiable

Believer 04:23 video
Hold the call, hold the call Good love makes you hesitate Rolling slow, go so slow Melting like a long last drink I wouldn’t change one thing Touch me like a lover Speak to me like a friend Teach me like my father taught me how to live again Hold me like no other Embrace my brokenness Don’t preach to me, a believer in a choir You’re that hallelujah sweetness on my lips Touch me like a lover (Touch me, touch me) Touch me like a lover (Touch me, touch me) Touch me like a lover (Touch me, touch me) Touch me like a lover (Touch me, touch me) All my life, all my life I’ve been chasing shiny things Blind my face, blind my face Save it from this suffering Oh, can you blame my sin? Touch me like a lover Speak to me like a friend Teach me like my father taught me how to live again Hold me like no other Embrace my brokenness Don’t preach to me, a believer in a choir You’re that hallelujah sweetness on my lips Touch me like a lover, (Touch me, touch me) Touch me like a lover, (Touch me, touch me) Touch me like a lover, (Touch me, touch me) Touch me like a lover, (Touch me, touch me)

It’s been raining, every single day There ain’t nothing, like a feeling you can’t shake She don’t wanna know what that feels like And I don’t wanna change her mind Sweet renegade, will you ever stay in one place? Some lonely day, will you run back into my arms? In the night I feel you breathe If you ever come back, come back to me Sweet renegade, if you ever stay in one place, I’ll be there She’s so crazy, laughing at the storm Will she make it out, we may never know I will leave the light on, I will build a fire One that she can see for miles and miles Sweet renegade, will you ever stay in one place? Some lonely day, will you run back into my arms? In the night I feel you breathe If you ever come back, come back to me Sweet renegade, if you ever stay in one place, I’ll be there No more lonely days, I would give the world for face, Oh No more sleepless nights, You’ll return to me in your time, Oh Sweet renegade, will you ever stay in one place? Some lonely day, will you run back into my arms? In the night I feel you breathe If you ever come back, come back to me Sweet renegade, if you ever stay in one place, I’ll be there Sweet renegade, will you ever stay in one place? I’ll be there Sweet renegade, will you ever stay in one place? I’ll be there Sweet renegade, will you ever stay in one place? I’ll be there Sweet renegade, will you ever stay in one place? I’ll be there

Never have I seen a place That reminds me of your face Til I heard it call to me Like a phone call from a friend Set in silence like a prayer If these walls could breathe the air They would sing a song of love And how it sometimes has to end Welcome home, your last and only one Never more to roam Have no fear if you don’t see the sun I will hold you close Welcome home You are home No nothing tastes like sweet Sweet home Letters written in the den Folded news and coffee cans Simple things that I recall Not forgotten easily Dog is passed out on the lawn He will miss me when I’m gone He won’t speak what he has seen Like the walls surrounding me Welcome home Your last and only one Never more to roam Have no fear if you don’t see the sun I will hold you close Welcome home, you are home No nothing tastes like sweet Sweet home Welcome home Your last and only one Never more to roam Have no fear if you don’t see the sun I will hold you close Welcome home You are home No nothing tastes like sweet Sweet home

Love is in the actions Like a brace on a broken knee Gimme time and give me patience That will be enough for me Breaking through the clouds feels impossible now Breaking through the clouds feels impossible now I think I lost myself, yea I lost myself I wish I was truly free Like a bird at the mercy of the breeze Just trusting in the sun There Like a mother’s love Breaking though the clouds feels impossible now Breaking though the clouds feels impossible now I think I lost myself, yea I lost myself But I found myself walking home

I was born on the day my father died, he loved me so Heaven’s bells on the day he closed his eyes, down in a hole But I can hear him singing oh I want to show you that life comes in circles, I want to show you life Drink all your whiskey and spend all your money And let no one steal your shine The day my father died I was scared on the day my mother cried, she held me close She lost a man who could ease her troubled mind, she lost it all And I remember singing I want to show you that life comes in circles, I want to show you life Your heart is heavy, your load I will carry So put your sweet hand in mine The day my father died “Put em’ down, put em’ down” my lover sighed, she loves me so Letting go doesn’t mean he’ll ever leave your side I want to show you that life comes in circles, I wanna show you life Care for your sister your son and daughter Your mother will heal in time No self destruction will fill up your heart And the void that he left behind The day my father died The day my father died I was born on the day my father died The day my father died

Lost with no lighthouse, pitch black and carried far away Weathered and washed out and you’re afraid Heaven won’t call down, cursed with the blood that you can’t save Damn if it ain’t hard now, to see your face I, I feel your pain I, I feel your pain Bracing for the fallout, looking for a way to calculate Hoping any day now we’ll meet halfway I know it’s not for me to fix it I know it’s not for me to say But you don’t have to stay down or look away I, I feel your pain I, I feel your pain Don’t say a word, I know it hurts, you don’t need to explain I, I feel your pain I, I feel your pain I, I feel your pain Don’t say a word, I know it hurts, you don’t need to explain I, I feel your pain

Tragic Magic 03:22
Magic man I don’t wanna let you down You been like a father since you came around Half-baked boy sweating in the summer sun hits you like a shiver Tragic magic Boy what drugs you on? I’m on that tragic magic, high all summer long Lift each hand, let me hear you sing along Welcome to the family you were waiting on Warm or dead, I was bought and sold before I was out of high school Tragic magic Boy what drugs you on? I’m on that tragic magic, high all summer long Let him in, no one else, hate the sin, save Let him in, no one else, hate the sin, love yourself Tragic magic Boy what drugs you on? I’m on that tragic magic And I may not come down I’m on that tragic magic, high all summer long

Chariot 03:20
In a soft electric light, in a soft electric light I was a spark, I was daylight I see the world for what it was, only for what it was Stuck in the past, she is daylight I didn’t know how to get back home, I didn’t know In a soft electric light, in a soft electric light I dance like a ghost, no soul all spirit I’m afraid I’m not okay I’m afraid of my last day, what if it hurts? I put my heart all in it I didn’t know how to get back home But I’m still running I didn’t know Wait up for me, chariot, chariot come carry me Hold on, hold on to me, chariot, chariot come carry me Carry me home I’m still running I’m still running Carry me home I’m still running I’m still running In a soft electric light, I see the world for what it was I’m afraid I’m not okay, and I’m afraid of my last day I didn’t know how to get back home I didn’t know Wait up for me, chariot, chariot come carry me Hold on, hold on to me, chariot, chariot come carry me

Marion 03:35
Drunk and looking for a friend Who understands? You understand Filling up my cart again When we collided I stumble but I won’t chase her A shot in the dark no tracer I swallow my pride She wears her heart like a fiery sun I wasn’t ready for Marion Cleaning up my dirty mind But not today, we’ve got time Kick it into overdrive I fell in deeper I smile like a child so clever She won’t even know what hit her A snake in the grass I lose my head as I come undone I wasn’t ready for Marion Never met a girl so nice I hope you find yours Cuz I got mine Ain’t no other better time Go out and meet her And straighten your tie when you face her A shot to the heart no chaser Let her burn in your chest Oh what a beautiful day my son I hope you’re ready cuz here she comes I wasn’t ready for Marion

I bought you diamonds and gold, but you hate to shine I sing a sad lonely song, but it’s what you like Let’s build a home and buy fancy clothes God knows it’s how we survive I might be some years ahead, but let’s start tonight Speak truth to me Darling and I’ll be true Speak honestly Honestly, I can’t help falling for you The better part of me I’ve worn a path with my hands on the map of your skin You kiss my face in the morning, and I’m born again From the fire and the sea to the birds and the bees I’ve seen where life begins Delicate like paper kites held by the wind Speak truth to me Darling and I’ll be true Speak honestly Honestly, I can’t help falling for you Everyday I’ll be brand new Thank god for you, the better part of me There will be days we’re apart and I’ll long for you The nights will grow heavy and dark in solitude But when we collide we explode in the sky, two stars We’ll block out the view Today I love you simply because I do Speak truth to me Darling and I’ll be true Speak honestly Honestly, I can’t help falling for you Everyday I’ll be brand new Thank god for you, the better part of me

Been daydreaming, head in a hole Been so busy rushing for gold I never wanted anything more than everything You dress classic, before your time You love tragic little storylines I never wanted anything more than everything If we’re being honest I’ve been sick about it Did you go and change your mind? Baby don’t lie, baby Baby don’t lie, baby Lady Luck is always creeping in But she don’t gamble when she’s gambling I never wanted anything more than everything Bury me down in a hole Ordinary fool’s gold I never wanted anything more than everything I never wanted anything more, anything more You were everything, baby You were everything, baby Baby don’t lie, baby I never wanted anything more than everything Baby don’t lie, baby I never wanted anything more than everything If we’re being honest I’ve been sick about it If we’re being honest I could die tomorrow Honestly we’re running out of time Baby don’t lie

I wanna feel something I wanna feel something I drink to feel something I sleep and feel nothing Maybe that’s where you come in Maybe that’s where you and I begin I want some good loving I want some good loving Want it to mean something Set this old heart buzzing Maybe that’s where you come in Maybe that’s where you and I begin No I don’t need a heavenly home A place beyond the clouds with everyone we’ve ever known It don’t matter where we go If you were born to run, I was made to run with you I need some church darlin I need some church darlin I am a false prophet I must confess darlin Maybe that’s where you come in Maybe that’s where you and I begin Our love’s a great mountain Our love’s a great mountain Climbed up and fell down it We lived to laugh about it Baby you and I survived Maybe god thanks you that I’m alive No I don’t need a heavenly home A place beyond the clouds with everyone we’ve ever known It don’t matter where we go If you were born to run, I was made to run with you I wanna feel something I want some good loving Take me to church darlin Our love’s a great mountain Baby, after all this time Maybe home is you and I’ve arrived

Caving In 03:08
Fall out the exit, lean on me now I see two of you in both my eyes Blur out my edges, punchdrunk and love-stoned Need something to hold me upright Let me know Won’t you let me know? Steady my darling, don’t worry I’ve got you And you got me most of the time Mezcal and lust bleach the message I’m sending They taste like you when you were all mine Would you let me know? Won’t you let me know? It’s so hard to believe what you won’t let me see My head’s caving in Oh It’s so hard to believe what you won’t let me see Won’t you let me know? Won’t you let me know? Oh it’s so hard to believe what you won’t let me see My head’s caving in My head’s caving in

Corduroy 03:38
When the violet hour is soft upon your eyes When the wine runs out and all we have is time Out of all the broken tongues you hear tonight I hope I say it right Blue corduroy ’89 Oh I was a pleasant boy, soft and mild When a foreign place don’t make you feel alive And a patient heart forgets how to be kind It’s a burden that will carry through your life And god knows that ain’t right Only god knows if he’s right Fields black as coal spring to life And I have dreams of a bitter war in a peaceful time When you realize it’s not your fight And you can’t avoid a chance to reconcile Lay em down, the stones, the stones will never cry No stone will ever cry No stone will every cry When the poison fruit tastes sweeter than you like It’s a fertile place to propagate a lie While you’re waiting for the nausea to subside Let’s drink to what is right Let’s share a drink tonight Spend it in wartime and save up in peace Love will be all that you need
