His Hands Matched His Tongue (The Dear Hunter cover) 03:58
lyrics
buy track
A long walk home, riddled with regret. Uncommonly comfortable, yet still, I believe, That in time I think I'll see just what's been weighing down on me. An unearthly void collapsed, exposing what was trapped, To release this serendipitous design. The smell of smoke, the evening sky was bruised. Belated conversations, saturate anticipation, For the answers that simply won't come. But not I, I won't ask. Forget my place amongst the grass. The leaves and the trees remember me. And in my naivete, it might be seen: The pail has leaked and even if you put all your water into it, You'll end up with nothing left to drink. The well has gone dry, and I with it. Oh, someday she'll be gone. (We'll still have her song to sing) Sing softly bring me to the lake, Sing softly sing me to the lake, sing.

People Live Here (Rise Against cover) 04:02
lyrics
buy track
My God is better than yours, And the walls of my house are so thick I hear nothing at all. I followed you out in the storm, but it carried you off. And I burned every picture of yours. Was that not enough? My gun is bigger than yours, So let's arm the masses and see what the bastards do then. Walking tall once set us apart, now we're down on all fours. Do you cry my name in the dark, like I do yours? These storms are getting stronger now, Trusses all bend and sway. Lightning hits, the power goes out in the fray. As the waves crash high, and the shoreline disappears, I will scream to the sky: Hey, people live here. My dreams are not unlike yours, They long for the safety, and break like a glass chandelier. But there's laughter and oh, there is love, Just past the edge of our fears. And there's chaos with push comes to shove, But it's music to my ears. May you be in heaven before the devil knows you're dead. May these winds be always at your back. Cause when we're all just ghosts, and the madness overtakes us, We will look at the ashes, and say "People lived here." From the penthouse to the holy martyr, sea to shining sea. From the coffins full of kindergartners, is this what you call free? From the hate that drips from all your crosses, are your hands so clean? There's a wildfire, and it's spreading far, from sea to shining sea. When we're all just ghosts, and the madness overtakes us, I will scream to the sky, Yeah, I'll scream to the sky, Yeah, I'll scream to the sky: Hey, people live here.

Half-Truism (The Offspring cover) 03:07
lyrics
buy track
One is for envy and one just for spite, The cuts in my heart, they show in your eyes. Don't make it better. The twisting knife turns all by itself, On to someone else. Your self-liberation will leave this behind. Beyond slings and arrows that rain on our minds. You'll make it better, shake it off, it never mattered anyway. If we don't make it alive, well, it's a hell of a good day to die. All our light that shine strong, only last for so long. And it's ashes to ashes again, should we even try to pretend? All our light that shines strong, only lasts for so long. The banner you're waving is burning and red, It's blocking the sunlight that shines overhead. You against the world, diamonds and pearls, Voices inside you churn. Watch the city burn. Your own liberation, will leave them behind. All the slings and arrows that rain on your mind. Don't make it better, break it cause it never mattered anyway.
