1. Teen Wolf [lyrics]
Feeling that way again means everything to you
The glow of travel mornings stayed while the concrete broke up
But you've already burned this bridge, like me
If we could create moments like before we'd be okay
The glow of travel mornings as we packed our things and left

2. Paper Tigers [lyrics]
Summer's come and gone, now we are but ghosts among the fairyplots
No childhood glory left, just loaded questions - lies working side by side
These things that hold together 'us'
When a rogue spark burns love down
And the night lights up your fears
As the drive home breaks your will
You reach the threshold, walk on through the doorway
and all these things you thought you'd put away collar you
I saw you when we were not yet back on speaking terms on the street and thought of
how we say I love you, let me in your heart, let me in your bed, give me what I want so I can get on
These things that hold together 'us'
When a rogue spark burns love down
And the night lights up your fears
As the drive home breaks your will
I see you are falling back on your old vices
I see you are coming out in true colors now.

3. Hell's Coming with Me [lyrics]
when I get back your hair is wet your hands are red the wood burns quiet
apart from us there is the sense that we are not alone
you turned on me with languid stare
and with tongue on teeth you set your ghosts on me

Frankly dear, this whole thing reeks like a butcher's block
And if the doctors can't save us
Well then we'll just be written off, I guess
To walk, break, and end as carrion
the boys in town leave behind a legacy in short comprised
of broken teeth, saliva, cum, marks on the walls where they stood
And I just want you to know that Once this thing is done, there's nothing left to redeem
Once this thing is done, there is nothing left to redeem.

But tonight they put the fire up
Some city boys on the doorstep are packing forty-fives
So like great kings we'll toast to debauchery
So like great fools we'll let it happen again
It's the heat of the asphalt
It's the taste of the impact
It's the shit eating grins of your friends
It's the stink of five years gone
It's the lies of regret for the things you're glad you've done

4. False-Front Athens [lyrics]
All along the countryside, that midnight glow
Rising from the sheets, I am fast to the window
It took one day
To find you, dearest to run with
Move with the times, burn the past, speak in tounges, I can do this.
Now I can see anchors as shadows
One day we'll take that long graceless fall
but for now
We can move with the weather, sleep on our heels, lay out in the rain
We can move with the weather, sleep on our heels, lay out in the rain
(They will wake us, take and break us)
and fade reminders of false-front athens
Move with the weather, sleep on your heels, lay out in the rain
Move with the weather, sleep on your heels, lay out in the rain
Perhaps we could drive for the coast, leaving the plots as they stand
I know, you know distance cures all.
