- Battle Hymn of the Republic
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
He have loosed the fateful lightening of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on
I have seen him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on
- Coal War
Ain't cuttin' my hair till the good Lord come
Ain't cuttin' my hair till the good Lord come
Ain't cuttin' my hair till the good Lord comes
Arrive upon the mountain just to see what we've done
Cuttin' my hair, cuttin' till the good Lord comes
I ain't open my eyes till we all walk free
I ain't open my eyes till we all walk free
- Crash This Train
I hope you find what you're lookin for when it all comes runnin down
I hope you find it painted black on your window, or the lips of your lovers frown
Cuz if it dies in cold, when the clouds start to roll.
Is it then that your soul, starts to bleed?
Have you ever seen the President who killed your wounded child?
Or the man that crashed your sisters plane claimin he was sent of god?
And when she died in your arms, late that night in the dark,
- Dangerous
The TV’s blaring, the radio is turned up loud
Maybe then I’ll sleep well, maybe then I’ll drown you out.
Don’t want to think much I don’ t want to reminisce
Cuz love songs and poems have all lead, they’ve all led me to this.
Chorus:
It’s dangerous, to be sleepin alone.
And it’s way way way it’s way to cold
- FM Radio
I heard about, I heard about your daddy got sick.
Drove down to the river to die alone.
Seven days, seven days till they found him all.
Wrapped up in a blanket on the boat.
So we put him in the ground.
Down, Down, Down.
Your momma said "stay strong, don't cry."
So that is what you did.
- Ghost In the Town
Dearest Emily, there's a ghost in our town
A ghost in the town from where you came
Dearest Emily, there are cracks in the wall
And voices in the hall that can't escape
Do you remember when we all were young
When we all were much younger than today?
And have you noticed all the signs on the road
Causing all who pass to know to please be safe?
- Lawn Full of Marigolds

Verse 1:

- Lord, Devil, and Him
I guess that’s it, Giving up, giving in
I seem to think I can always win.
But I was wrong, replacingly
A dirty towel for a bed of sheets.
I am here and it is now,
No talk of futuristic keep your head on the ground
Self it seems so selfishly, accuse the killer.
- Losing My Religion
Ooooh
Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
- Lovers Without Love
This road has all but taught me lessons
about my lonely soul.
I am young and getting wiser,
soon i will grow old.
Strip my heart from misconceptions,
fill my eyes with greed.
But let me make my own connections,
in this endless sea.
- soul and the sea
I dream of dusty roads, paved with gold that lead me in your eyes.
The marmeladed paintings sing a song that not the crows will try.
The Piano screams a sound inside your lips I have found,
Something I could never save.
The current pulls me down, into your river deeper now, than I had
Ever planned to sink, planned to sink
Scattered winds blow me cross the ocean,
- Today
Another day it's all the same
Another way to make it sane.
And here we are another breed.
Another train to make it seem all ok.
In and out of all these towns.
Spins me round, it takes me down, takes me down.
Lyin here oh what to do.
- Winter Storm
Pain don't go
You remind me a winter storm
Faith don't grow
Then they say you've been solved
If I stay
If I stay don't go
If I stay
- You're The Cocaine
Well I broke, I wrote a song
About our love, and how its strong
How your kisses keep me warm.
And even when I make you cry,
I’ll still sing you lullabies.
Make those grey clouds bright blue skies.
Because you’re, the cocaine in my veins.
