- Candles
They fight up and down the streets,
that's why I keep my knife on me...
They say there's fortunes to found,
but all I've felt is hollow ground.
So we're off to never see our homes again,
Far away from New York
Because with you, I said I'd never be alone again.
- Longliner
The oldest of the sons,
has to set the bar for the younger ones.
so with one broken heart and two broken feet,
i'd crawl along the floor if you'd be proud of me...
as the waves say oh...oh...oh oh oh...
say goodbye, while you stare at the sky
- Ms. Kailin Rose
So i left from a port on the lower west side,
gave her a last kiss just before she died.
said, "i'd never love another like this...
and on the sea, we would meet again
I've got these notes that are written in gold,
signed by the name i scream into the cold.
Salt water freezes my breath with every song,
out here i've only got storm clouds that sing along.
- Old Ghosts
the sun has just come up
let's make our way through the alleys and right down to the docks
here comes that crew with caps and vests
braces, black shoes, covered in plaid.
who didn't have parents to pay the rent
we could be newsboys, or we could pick pocket the rich.
- Two Thieves
I always knew that one day, I'd have to atone
sitting in that foggy dew, tying up my shoes.
the sound of your cries, that cold morning in july
with my bag over my shoulder and tears in my eyes.
we made it by september with our guns in our hands
i had to kill 3 men so we could have our lands.
the light shines dimmer under what was kiowa sun.
