1.	My Sweet (feat. Forrest "The Mystery Man" Williams) 03:42	lyrics	buy track
My sweet, what did I do To deserve these feelings I have for you? Try to pull my face up off the pillow case, And think about what you put me through. My sweet, my sweet, My sweet, I can't imagine life without you, But I know it's true. My brother, he ain't around, But he called in from out of town. He said, "Benjamin, not this again. I can't stand by and watch her bring you down." My sweet, my sweet, My sweet, you told me, "Baby, now you're found." But how did you sound? Oh mother, please don't take this wrong-- At least now I've got another song. And I know one day, the one will come my way. Until then, I guess I'll just hang on. My sweet, my sweet, My sweet, I'm trying hard to stay strong As I say, "So long." My sweet, my sweet, My sweet, I'm moving slowly towards the dawn, 'Cause I know you're gone.
2.	Forevermore 04:15	lyrics	buy track
There was a time when I was sure That you were my forever more. 'Love you forever' is what I said. But it wasn't long before A shred of doubt began to bore Deep into my head Open your eyes for a while- Maybe they can see into mine. Tell me, how deep do they go? Tell me, can you see my soul? I'll open my heart in time With the sinking rhythm of your mind. I think that we both know It's time I let you go. I look at you and all I see Is someone who sees all of me, But do I see you? Were you ever what I wanted you to be? And I can't just set you free. There's nothing I can do. Open your eyes for a while- Maybe they can see into mine. Tell me, how deep do they go? Tell me, do you see a soul? I'll open my heart in time With the sinking rhythm of your mind. I think that we both know It's time you let me go. They say in love all is fair, But love is war, a warm despair, And I've never felt alive. Did I ever really care? And will I ever learn to share Something other than my lies? Open your eyes for a while- Maybe they can see into mine. Tell me, how deep do they go? Tell me, do I have a soul? I'll open my heart in time With the sinking rhythm of your mind. I think that we both know It's time for me to go. Oh no, I don't wanna go. Oh no, I don't wanna go.
3.	Young Man (feat. Bailey "Talkington" Palktington) 03:44	lyrics	buy track
You don't know where you're going, And you don't know where you've been. You don't know anything. And you're not alone, oh young man. No, you're right where you need to be. Oh they don't, they don't know you, And these people, they don't even see you, But you don't need them anyway. 'Cause you're not alone, oh young man. You're not alone, oh young man. No, you're right where you need to be. And every night you cry alone, Then you go and hide it with a smile. Young man, you'll find your home. It just might take you a little while. But you're not alone, oh young man. You're not alone, oh young man. No, you're right where you need to be. No, you're right where you need to be. Young man, dry your weary eyes. Get back on your horse and ride. Don't turn your back, or run and hide. Keep on marching forward with your life. Young man, dry your weary eyes. Get back on your horse and ride. What doesn't cause you to die, Shouldn't even make you bat an eye. (Young man, you're not alone) Young man, dry your weary eyes. (You'll find your home someday) Get back on your horse and ride. (Young man, you're not alone) Don't turn your back, or run and hide. (You'll find your home someday) Keep on marching forward with your life. (Young man, you're not alone) Young man, dry your weary eyes. (You'll find your home someday) Get back on your horse and ride. (Young man, you're not alone) What doesn't cause you to die, (You'll find your home someday) Shouldn't even make you bat an eye.
4.	Seasonal Delights (feat. Forrest "The Mystery Man" Williams) 02:47	lyrics	buy track
Living in the city I don't see too many trees Burgerville's menu meets all my natural needs. Strawberries, Raspberries, blackberries, blue Put em in my lemonade, my milkshakes too. Walla walla time, those rings are divine. Got onions on my burgers, blackberries on my mind. Those berries and the summertime can't last forever, Finding out what's next is a seasonal endeavor. Then it's pumpkin time, and you gotta love it, In seasonality, no other fast food's above it. Peppermint is gone, but the hazelnuts are here, That's the tradeoff of the Burgerville year. Burgerville, can we have a million dollars? We wrote you a song; can we have a million dollars?
5.	So Is Your Face 02:42	lyrics	buy track
Summer turns to autumn, autumn's getting dark. Baby would you hold me, would you be my arc? Dark times ahead, darling. I'm ready for a trip, I'm a little bit scared, And I always seem to hover at the edge. It's hard to say how I'm feeling lately. Chorus: And it's highly seasonal-- The way I'm feeling changes with the leaves. And I'm looking for a heart That's gonna put my mind at ease. And my sweetheart keeps on telling me, That my pre-frontal cortex is not fully formed, And I say, "So's your face." And other people keep on telling me How useful it's gonna be to have a job, And I say, "So's your face." Chorus
6.	Molly and Jojo 02:51	lyrics	buy track
Molly's been lying With streaks down her face, Leaving tears on her pillow In her hospital bed. And Jojo, meanwhile, He just needed some space, The shade of the willow tree Over his head. Chorus: And she tried to tell him she ain't done him wrong. But her words weren't enough for him, by God. Molly's still fighting; She's screaming in pain, And Jojo ain't with her To hold her hand. He ain't stricken by lightning, So there's nothing to gain, By leaving the river, So he won't even stand. Chorus A new baby boy came later that day. Where was the father? Well, I couldn't say, But Jojo knew that there was no way. The boy never knew his father his whole life, And his absence cut like a knife. And Jojo lay awake every night.
7.	A Day We Won't Forget (feat. Bailey "Talkington" Palktington) 03:22	lyrics	buy track
It makes me glad just to see you smile, No matter what else is going on. And what I wouldn't give just to be there for a while And spend just a moment in your arms. I can't wait for tomorrow; That'll be a day we won't forget, But for now, I'll just keep your picture in my pocket And think about the day we met. People might say we're doing it the wrong way, But what do they know anyhow. They could call me a fool to start something so far apart, But I never asked them what they thought. I can't wait for tomorrow; That'll be a day we won't forget, But for now, I'll just keep your picture in my pocket And think about the day we met. Even with no end in sight, I always knew there'd be a light, Waiting for us somewhere down the line. Oh, listen up, and listen close, you're the one I love the most, And we will be together sometime. I dreamed a dream of you again. Come on babe, let's not pretend. We both know you(I) saw the same thing. People come, and people go. But you're not people, you're my soul, And if I am a bird, then you're my wings. I can't wait for today; This'll be a day we won't forget, And to bide my time as you(I) roll on down the line, I'll think about the day we met. And to bide my time as you(I) roll on down the line, I'll think about the day we met.
8.	Sonnet Song (feat. Bailey "Talkington" Palktington) 02:38	lyrics	buy track
I would write your name in the sand If it would not be washed away. The tide undoes my careful hand, But nonetheless, won't you please stay? Like a river flows round a quay, Past eyes that shine like orbs of light, Your hair does fall on my dismay, And makes this day of mine feel right. But please don't get the wrong idea; I'm not like other men you've seen. And though our time may well be brief, Let me make this completely clear: We'll talk, we'll laugh, we'll dance, we'll sing, And after that, I'll take my leave.
9.	Pity Poor Lonesome Me 03:28	lyrics	buy track
Grass grows through the gravel where I sit, People walking by, holding hands and shit, And I'm just sitting here, all by my lonesome. You got to pity poor lonesome me. I fell in love with a viking girl, she cut off my ear, Put it in her viking ship, and sailed away from here. I fell in love with a country boy, he cut off my nose, Carved it as a trinket and sold it at the fair. And I'm just sitting here, all by my lonesome. You got to pity poor lonesome me. And I'm just sitting here, all by my lonesome. You got to pity poor lonesome me. Fireworks hang like jet engines in the air, And the radio says space is becoming militarized. It's the hottest summer on record nearly every year, And it just wouldn't feel right to move away from here. And I'm just sitting here, all by my lonesome. You got to pity poor lonesome me. And I'm just sitting here, all by my lonesome. You got to pity poor lonesome me. And I'm just sitting here, all by my lonesome. You got to pity poor lonesome me. People like to live by schedules and routines, Some people even iron their blue jeans. Lot's of people like to know what's going on. You know I just lose track of time. And I'm just sitting here, all by my lonesome. You got to pity poor lonesome me. Oh, people like to stand in line for their classes, And people look like flies under magnifying glasses. People like to carry on long conversations, And people like to act like super heroes. And I'm just sitting here, all by my lonesome. You got to pity poor lonesome me. And I'm just sitting here, all by my lonesome. You got to pity poor lonesome me.
10.	Roller/Coaster (feat. Forrest "The Mystery Man" Williams) 03:20	lyrics	buy track
Oh the whole damn world had best be warned We're gonna take this life by the horns. And if you see us roaming round your town, maybe then you'll see That 'yes' is the only word we need. Chorus: No, we can't slow down, and we can sleep when we're dead. And this midnight air is goin' straight to my head. On a roller coaster of illicit drugs. And if I walk you home, can I have a hug? Pop a Ritalin or two; that oughta keep the night alive. That is, if neither of us dies. Ten bucks for Mali, well we can't say no to that. Can't say no to anything, in fact. Chorus The street gets quiet, and we become philosophers- What's so damn different about him and her? And what's the deal with all these douche bags round here? We got it right, they got it wrong, that much is clear. Chorus
11.	To Be A Righteous Man (feat. Forrest "The Mystery Man" Williams) 02:52	lyrics	buy track
Darling please, let's not pretend That you don't know just where I been. You ain't gotta say I done you wrong. What I did I can't defend, But I hope that I can make amends. I know you'd have done better on your own. Chorus: Oh, God, please talk to me now. What can I do to change? I will do whatever will allow Me to be a righteous man. Did you know right from the start That I was gonna break your heart? I guess that it ain't like I told you so. I wove my lies into an art, Until, piece by piece, you fell apart. Then I took those pieces for my own. Chorus Give me fire, give me hell, But spare the wrath of Annabelle, And for my sins, I swear I will atone. Her sobbing rang out like a bell, The sounding of my doleful knell Echoing into the great unknown. Chorus
