1.	Flutterbye 05:19	lyrics	buy track
I prayed for rain. It finally came but I think I've asked too much. I know sometimes it's never enough when the flowers grow I watch their petals fall into clippings on the floor to be carried away through the clear sky. It's just another way to die Flutterbye, I want to do go where you go. You know I'd follow you anywhere. I prayed for rain but not to wash away anything. I know sometimes I've asked too much. Lying here, I gather rust. As the sun returns, fresh paint won't make me new again. The Crow refused my hand. Too down, I guess I've fallen far beyond suicide. Flutterbye, I want to go where you go. You know I'd follow you anywhere. Flutterbye, why won't you take me with you? You know I'd follow you anywhere. She said, "Let the work that I've done speak for me." She said, "I've left you everything you need." She said, "If you love me, if you truly love, then why won't you give life another try?" Flutterbye, flutter on.
2.	Mist and Shadow 04:41	lyrics	buy track
Mist and shadow residing behind murky walls of my eyes Breaking even is hard to swallow when you're losing. Where'd the time go? Dirty water, bloodied hands, taste and feel my sins. Looking upward from this sink hole. Breaking even is hard to swallow when you're losing where'd the time go. Mist and shadow When I get my shit together, I'm gonna find something better than mist and shadow Mist and shadow
3.	Forecast 05:54	lyrics	buy track
I get down. I get up. I get down. I get up. I laid down. I woke up Raised my head, I felt off Candle glow on the wall from the Sun through window frost It's gonna be cold. It's gonna be cold. Biting wind, shake it off. Round the bend, hand in glove Water freeze canteen cup Seek my friends when times are tough It's gonna be cold. It's gonna be cold. It's gonna be cold. I laid down. Moon is up. Weathered limbs strained by worth Lobe and sight refuse to shut Take better care of myself It's gonna be cold. It's gonna be cold It's gonna be cold I get down. I get up. I get down. I get up.
4.	Scumbag Microwave 05:08	lyrics	buy track
Back in the day when I was kid, I ran from bus headed straight to the fridge. Lunch felt a million hours ago: Melted Shape-Ups and square pizza dough. NT-2 was my free lunch code. Went to the cabinet to grab me a bowl, dreaming about the soup from the night before. Into the drawer to grab me a spoon and you know what I'm gonna do: Into the black box on high for two I hate you Scumbag Microwave I hate you Scumbag Microwave You give me a hot ass bowl filled up with cold ass food I hate you Scumbag Microwave I grew up, bought house of my own and it came with free appliances. Walked in the kitchen and what do you know, a brand new chrome box over the stove. I love free shit, how could I say "No"? Opened the door when I heard the ding. The whole inside was steaming. With hungry eyes I dove right in, I grabbed my bowl, and I singed my skin. Son of bitch, he got me again! I hate you Scumbag Microwave I hate you Scumbag Microwave You give me a hot ass bowl filled up with cold ass food I hate you Scumbag Microwave
5.	The By & By 04:27	lyrics	buy track
There is a road that I must follow, I have somewhere that I must go And on that road, there will be sorrow. Where evil speaks, the grass grows And I will take my time around the dirt that winds. Little do they know, I've been here before. There is a road that I must follow, I have somewhere I need to be. And on that road, I can hear the tell of demons lurking behind the trees And I will take my time around the dirt that winds. Little do they know, I've been here before. And I will stop to smell the thorns that pierce my cheek. I feel so much, I can't feel a thing. No, I can't feel a thing This is the road that I must travel Somewhere beyond the darkened veil. And on this road, there lies tomorrow behind the man standing at the crossroads And I will take my time around the dirt that winds. Little do they know, I've been here before. And I will play my heart to the gnarled cane And I will pray that he will sing, that he will sing

7.	Ain't No Friend of Mine 04:15	lyrics	buy track
Down here, Crushed red brick at my door down here Cos 'round here, you ain't welcome no more 'round here In ear, Whisper mosquito lies in my ear Full of tears, Mother Owl's eyes full of tears She won't, Now she won't wake the sun Brother Crow, He's gon' think morning won't come For a time, Thought you had my back for a time On my dime, Caught you running game on my dime Clandestine, knot a noose with your own line She won't, Now she won't wake the sun Brother Crow, He's afraid morning won't come You ain't no friend of mine
