Coxcomb Red (Ohia Cover)
And I wanted that heat so bad
I could taste the fire on your breath
And I wanted in your storm so bad
I could taste the lightning on your breath
I watched you hold the son in your arms while he bled to death
He grew so pale next to you
The world is so pale next to you
Your hair is coxcomb red your eyes are viper black
Your hair is coxcomb red your eyes are viper black
You said every road is a good road
Between the next road and your last road
Every love is your best love and every love is your last love
And every kiss is a goodbye
And every kiss is a goodbye
I watched you hold the son in your arms while he bled to death
He grew so pale next to you
The world is so pale next to you
Your hair is coxcomb red your eyes are viper black
Your hair is coxcomb red your eyes are viper black
Your hair is coxcomb red your eyes are viper black

Seasons (Good Charlotte Cover)
Summer air reminds me of all the feelings of your love
And what it was like when we were together (oh)
Walking all along a beach, you were never far from my reach
And you held me through stormy weather (oh)
And I...
I wanna fall in love tonight
And I...
Remember when you said
Everything is gonna be alright
Laying in the summer grass
You told me not to talk so fast as I told you how I feel
You made me feel right at home
You told me I was not alone and you knew just how I feel
I know we talked about it
I just can't get around it
I just want one more night with you
I...
I wanna fall in love tonight
And I...
Remember when you said
Everything is gonna be alright
October air reminds me of all the seasons of your love
And what it was like when we were together (oh)
The smell of fall is everywhere and though it seems I just don't care
'Cause now, you've gone away
I...
I wanna fall in love tonight
And I...
Remember when you said
Everything is gonna be alright
Alright
I wanna fall in love
(I...) I wanna fall in love
Tonight

Back Against the Wall (Cage the Elephant)
Tonight, I'll have a look and try to find my face again
Buried beneath this house
My spirit screams and dies again
Out back, a monster wears a cloak of Persian leather
Behind the TV screen, I've fallen to my knees
I said, you've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away
I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall
I'm stuck here in between these shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away, I need to get away
Blanket of silence makes me want to sink my teeth in deep
Burn all the evidence of fabricated disbelief
Pull back the curtains, took a look into your eyes
My tongue has now become a platform for your lies
I said, you've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away
I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall
I'm stuck here in between these shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away, I need to get away
Now you know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down, like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall
You know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
Deep in the jungle, camouflaged by all the fallen leaves
A hand holds up the sky while, shamefully, I make my plea
The altar's calling, but my legs won't seem to stand
Guess I'm a coward scared to face the man I am
I said, you've got me where you want me again and I can't turn away
I'm hanging by a thread and I'm feeling like I'll fall
I'm stuck here in between these shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away, I need to get away
Now you know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down, like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall
You know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
Now you know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down, like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall
You know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall

Hard to Explain (The Strokes Cover)
Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Tried to take control
Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
We shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same
Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Raised in Carolina
I'm not like that
Tryin' to remind her
When we go back
I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train
I'll try but you see, it's hard to explain
I say the right thing, but act the wrong way
I like it right here, but I cannot stay
I watch the TV, forget what I'm told
Well, I am too young, and they are too old
The joke is on you, this place is a zoo
You're right it's true
He says he can't decide
I shake my head to say
Everything's just great
Oh, I just can't remember
I just can't remember
Raised in Carolina
She says, "I'm not like that"
Tryin' to remind her
When we go back
I say the right thing, but act the wrong way
I like it right here, but I cannot stay
I watch the TV, forget what I'm told
Well, I am too young, and they are too old
Oh man, can't you see I'm nervous? So please
Pretend to be nice, so I can be mean
I missed the last bus, we'll take the next train
I'll try but you see, it's hard to explain

There's Room at the Cross for You
The cross upon which Jesus died
Is a shelter in which we can hide
And its grace so free is sufficient for me
And deep is its fountain as wide as the sea.
There's room at the cross for you
There's room at the cross for you
Though millions have come, there's still room for one
Yes there's room at the cross for you.
Though millions have found him a friend
And have turned from the sins they have sinned
The Savior still waits to open the gates
And welcome a sinner before it's too late.
The hand of my Savior is strong
And the love of my Savior is long
Through sunshine or rain, through loss or in gain,
The blood flows from Calvary to cleanse every stain.

Lost in My Mind (The Head and the Heart Cover)
Put your dreams away for now
I won't see you for some time
I am lost in my mind
I get lost in my mind
Momma once told me
"You're already home where you feel loved"
I am lost in my mind
I get lost in my mind
Oh, my brother
Your wisdom is older than me
But oh, my brother
Don't you worry about me
Don't you worry
Don't you worry, don't worry about me
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
How's that bricklayin' comin'?
How's your engine runnin'?
Is that bridge gettin' built?
Are your hands gettin' filled?
Won't you tell me, my brother?
'Cause there are stars
Up above
And we can start
Moving forward
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

How's that bricklayin' comin'?

Bad Fish (Sublime Cover)
Lyrics:
When you grab a hold of me
You tell me that I'll never be set free
But I'm a parasite
Creep and crawl, I step into the night
Two pints of booze
Tell me, are you a badfish too?
(Are you a badfish too?)
Ain't got no money to spend
I hope the night would never end
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef?
Baby you're a big blue whale
Grab the reef when all duck divin' fails
I swim, but I wish I'd never learned
The water's too polluted with germs
I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead
Grab the reef underneath my bed
(Underneath my bed)
Ain't got no quarrels with God
Ain't got no time to grow old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef?
I gotta go dude
Ain't got no quarrels with God
Ain't got no time to get old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef?

Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town (Pearl Jam Cover)
Lyrics I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar yet
I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me
All these changes taking place
I wish I'd seen the place
But no one's ever taken me
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
I swear, I recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me, you wouldn't recall for I'm not my former
It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all
Small town predicts my fate
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see
I just want to scream hello
My God it's been so long
Never dreamed you'd return
But now here you are and here I am
Hearts and thoughts they fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade

Big Iron (Marty Robbins Cover)
To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around
He's an outlaw loose and running, came the whisper from each lip
And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
He was vicious and a killer though a youth of 24
And the notches on his pistol numbered one and 19 more
One and 19 more
Now the stranger started talking, made it plain to folks around
Was an Arizona ranger, wouldn't be too long in town
He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red
After Texas Red
Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red
But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead
20 men had tried to take him, 20 men had made a slip
21 would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
The morning passed so quickly, it was time for them to meet
It was 20 past 11 when they walked out in the street
Folks were watching from the windows, everybody held their breath
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
About to meet his death
There was 40 feet between them when they stopped to make their play
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today
Texas Red had not cleared leather 'fore a bullet fairly ripped
And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round
There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
Oh, he might have went on living but he made one fatal slip
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
Big iron, big iron
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip

Under the Gallows - Goshdarned
Need me, just give me that
Believe me, I'm right where you're at
We're bleeding, we've cut ourselves
You're pleading, hope you find some help
And give them more time than you gave me
Your body's strong, so how's your mind this weak?
I want you with no strings attached
A nice life doesn't seem too far-fetched
Believe me if you feel so compelled
Keep breathing, I'll find you some help
Please give me more time than I gave you
My body's strong, so how can I feel so blue?
You treat me like the man that I am
A poor soul, forlorned and goddamned
If I leave, if I leave this town
You'll find that my faults can't be found
I won't need you to debate or disagree
My body's strong so how's my mind this week?

Under the Gallows - Pigs
In these times
I know we'll find
The reason why
The tabs unpaid
The doctor's late
It's insane
I know this game
We've seen it played
Before
We used to say
We'd change our ways
The day we see
Pigs fly
That day
Has arrived
Single-file line
One at a time
We all fall
While they're sitting on their jets
We're paying off the debt
It's crazy
We're losing our right
And ability to fight
It's tyranny
We used to say
We'd change our ways
The day we see
Pigs fly
That day
Has arrived
All of this in mind
Tell me that we're fine
Again
It's highway robbery
In this new century
Maybe...
We throw them in jail
Refuse to post bail
Like they do to you
And me!
They used to say
They'd change their ways
The day we see
Pigs fly
That day
Has arrived!

Under the Gallows - I Believe
I believe
That we've seen
The best of both worlds
So you think you want change?
Things will never be the same
But you need
To believe
That you'll find a purpose
There is no other way
You aren't so perfect
Maybe say something safe (maybe you're going insane) I think you're going insane
I believe it's best to leave
When the echoes all deceive
So you think you are safe
That mask won't hide your mistakes
Think you'll need
Some relief
Get you a curtain
Block out another state
They'll miss you for certain
Lock you in something safe
Ohhh
My God
I believe
So you think we need
A reason to be saved
I feel quite certain
They don't even know your name
I believe
Do you see?
Or is it just me?
I believe

Under the Gallows - The Kraken
My prowess took a shot across the bow
Esoteric in the way it took me down
It manifested out of thin air
Can't fathom the depths that I've been
But it's way too deep
The deep blue sea
I know I might sink
But you're coming with me
Wave after wave I started to drown
The storm kept growing I saw evil abound
I cried out and yelled up to the sky
On a drifter you floated on by
The craft weighed anchor and pulled up ahead
I'd no idea if you left me for dead
So I reached out and grabbed it from the tide
When I climbed up something struck me in the side
And it's way too deep
This deep blue sea
You think I'll sink
But you're coming with me
Out of the darkness I saw it appear
The monstrous creature up from its lair
It wrecked your vessel left you gasping for air
Your captain's gone, what to do next?
And it's way too deep
It's the deepest sea
I know I'll sink
But that monster is me
Your sandcastle's been washed away
Left with nothing some would say
Could have just saved yourself
But instead you'll be
In the deep blue sea
And it's way too deep
Some will die alone,
But it won't be me

Under the Gallows - Sire and Heir
Do it the same way
As the man before
A path at my feet laid
So, who am I complaining?
I fall weak for
A land that's free from
These lines made of evil
A math built on heartache
All have numbered days
The penance and toll paid
Foolish not ashamed
I fall weak for
"A life that's peaceful"
These lines they seem primeval
A point of contest made
"Are the sire and heir same?"
From the man that you saw fade
To the (kids) children you didn't raise?
We fall weak for
A system that's equal
But these lines they need upheaval
To each their own
This life can give you more

Under the Gallows - Let's Start
Oh my love
Life smiled on me
Gave me a reason
To finally be
No more lonely hearts
Oh my girl
Love's found us each
A fire that burns bright
and eternally
Those who came before still burn at night
And who you are, I'm sure
We've come so far
There's more
Beats in my heart
Let's start
All my life
I've sought some peace
And found it in the woman
Who stands in front of me
Some will sing along, but they don't know
Just who you are, I'm sure
We've come so far
There's more
Beats in your heart
Let's start

Under the Gallows - Those Days
I didn't know your love for me
until I saw it bubbling
Your selfishness, we'll have to pay
I never knew you felt this way
I don't understand
Where this all will end
All those days, love
What were we made of?
I never saw what's on your mind
Until you tried to wreck my life
All those old ways
Same hurt, new pain
I don't understand
Where this all will end
All those days, love
What were we made of?
I know that our sun has set
But I won't let you soon forget
I didn't mean to take up space
Am I so easily replaced?
I don't understand
Where this all will end
All those days, love
Is this that dream where I'll wake up?
Look how you've gone and set me free
I never knew the man I'd be
Surprised myself, I'll be okay
It was unforeseen anyway
I'll never understand
Where this all will end
In your craze, love
Look what you made us

Under the Gallows - Secrets
Dig deep, don't quit
Lay down your our burden
You're wrong, I'm right here
100 questions float through my head
And I'm trying to decide
Whether I'm wrong or right
Black or white
This is the process of brokenheartedness
And I didn't even blink
Fools become martyrs of fire-starters
And I don't really like what I see
I'm keeping all these secrets from you
So tell me, how can I be free of you?
And I'm speaking without breathing a single word
So while you're sleeping in your bed I hope you're dreaming of me

Under the Gallows - Always, Yes Always
Always, yes always
We promised our fates
I'd knock on your door
You'd run down my hallways
Always
I can't keep up this grin
I already told my friends
You gave me your two cents
How can love be a sin?
Darling, oh Doll Face
You opened up your gate
Let's rob the bizarre
And run through the marketplace
Always
Much to my chagrin
I gave you my two cents
I already paid the rent
A wedding ring, holy shit
A big house, a small place
Whatever it takes
I'll buy you the moon
If that's what you dictate
Always
I can't keep up this grin
You already told your friends
We exchanged our two cents
A life with you's life well spent

Under the Gallows - Driven
Go far, I'm sure there's more to who you are
I've listened, held court, feel nothing anymore
I guess I'm right
I think I might
Drive all night
The outline I'll be looks like him, less like me
Mark the chalk, tape off the scene, move along there's nothing to see
I know I'm fine
This feels alright
To drive all night
There's a crime, one unseen, she took my everything
Lost trust, smashed dreams, I'm on the very brink
I'll be just fine
Love isn't mine
But it drives my life

Under the Gallows - I'll Go Alone
Where did you go when I needed you most?
Where did you hide when you walked out of my life?
Dodged a bullet, but it hurts like it hit
You know you did it, you gave it all away
You know they say love isn't for the faint of heart
I wish you could see what this done for me
Got tired of my own shit, gave it all away
You know you did it, you made a big mistake
"Next time?" You're kidding? No, it's far too late
You know they say love isn't for the faint of heart
Can't you believe I'll make it on my own?
Smoke something pretty, then I'll write a song
Crawl on my belly, no ma'am I sure won't
I'll go back to Texas, away from your throne
He travels the fastest who travels alone.

Under the Gallows - Leave the Piece
If you can taste
That bitterness is me
All alone I wait for you
Have I been anything but true?
The scenery around me fades
All I can see is your face
I guess I'll keep it to myself
Me and no one else
I'm apoplectic at best
So I'll just keep it in my chest
Take away all this again
The days I lost the places that I've been
Your deafening indifference
I've paid a pretty penny since
I guess I'll keep it to myself
Me and no one else
I'm grief-stricken at best
But I'll just keep it in my chest
What I did and what you saw
Was it ever really my fault?
I'm indignant and a mess
But I still wish you all the best
I guess I'll keep it to myself
Me and no one else
I'm brokenhearted at best
So I'll just keep the piece you left

Under the Gallows - Mould
Animated by a creator I don't understand
Where did he go wrong?
An afflicted creature seeking peace, what he did to me
Can it be undone?
The Earth was cold, all alone
I was left for dead
An undertaking on me
Was I supposed to know and to follow what you said?
Thought you had enough of me
Fate awaited, something greater I'm at your command, just bring me along
A gruesome freak all but deceased, only blind men see
Just how I go on
The earth is cold, still alone
Can't give up just yet
Need a miracle to leave
This broken, hollowed out hell of a shell that is left
Of the man I used to be
Motivated navigator, I will search this land
for a place I belong
A brutal beast, I need relief from this misery
but my death be prolonged
I'll grow old all alone
Forgive none I've met
A being made up of disease
When a fallen angel goes malignant what do you expect?
Why from darkness he chose me

Under the Gallows - Charlie
"Can you see the man who walks our street?"
He gave something up for you and me
Life that was lost wasn't just an enemy's
Hung his hat on what we took for free
The land he loved and swore to protect
Makes bad bets, writes blank checks to effect change for
Charlie, don't look but the docs took your foot
It's gone, the banks know, they want your VA loan
"He's hobbled can't we go help him he’s old?"
No son there's no one who can tell him no
Now I realize that sometimes Mr. Baker he seems cold
Just know that what he gave us can't be made or grown
But the land he loved and swore to protect
Makes bad bets, writes blank checks to effect change for
Charlie, don't sweat, it's just the tango
"It gets easier, you'll break the leg move slow. "
I can't say what he gave
But he deserves more than this
The land he loved and swore to protect
Makes bad bets, writes blank checks to effect change for
The tangos and Charlie's minor deformity
He lost, the war is won, don't tread on him, he'll stand on one

Under the Gallows - Last Ride
I came completely undone
When you told me I'm the one
Then we planned something wrong
So you asked me to come along
Come on over jump on in
I'll take you for a ride, lets go for a spin
Where we're going nobody knows
We'll stray from the road and avoid the law
I came in and grabbed the funds
Then you pulled out your shotgun
The talent and gold weighed a ton
"What in the hell have we done?"
Come on over jump on in
I'll take you for a ride, lets go for a spin
Where we're going nobody knows
We'll stray from the road and avoid the law
Might as well have some fun
Take their cash and shoot someone
Those men outside won't wait
To send us on to judgement day
Come on over hop on in
Going for a ride, being taken to the pen
Where we're going heaven only knows
We should've prayed to the Lord and obeyed the law
