Dirty Water

SEETHIN

I GOT A FEELIN/AND IT’S SOMETHING THAT I JUST CAN’T NAME/I’M ALWAYS LOOKIN FOR SOMETHING ELSE TO BLAME/I’M ALWAYS SEETHIN/ABOUT SOMETHING THAT I CAN’T CONTROL/LIKE A CAST IRON LEFT ON A HOT STOVE/IT’S BURNING!!!/STUCK IN MY HEAD/LIKE A NAIL SPLIT MY SKULL OPEN/LIKE THE OIL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN/IT JUST WON’T GO AWAY/CRY IF IT HURTS/SALT TEARS LIKE THE TIDE THAT FLOWS IN/LOOK AROUND I’M DROWNIN IN THE OCEAN/WHERE ARE ALL MY FRIENDS?/WHOA-OH!/”THE SKIES NOT FALLING YER JUST GROWING”/NEVER SLOWING AND IT’S A LONG WAY DOWN/SO COME ON COME ON NO ONE LIKES A WHINY BABE/SCREAMING SO LOUD YOU CAN’T HEAR THE SOUND WHEN IT GOES AWAY/LIE IN THE DIRT/MUD, BLOOD AND BONES JUST BLEND IN/A ROTTEN BAG OF DREAMS DECOMPOSING/NOTHING TO DEFEND!/WHOA-OH!/I GOT A FEELIN/AND IT’S SOMETHING THAT I JUST CAN’T NAME

TALLEST TREE

(SIGNS CHANGE BUT THE BUILDINGS STAY THE SAME)
SIGNS CHANGE BUT THE FEELINGS STAY THE SAME/HOPE, DISCONTENT, FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO BLAME/WHEN YOU LEAVE THIS TOWN WILL STAY THE SAME/SPEND SUMMERS WAITING FOR THE RAIN/CUT DOWN THE TALLEST TREE IN TOWN/BUILD A WALL AND TEAR IT OUT/GET DOWN CLOSER TO THE GROUND/IT’S UPHILL ALL THE WAY HOME/DON’T GO/SPEND SUMMERS WAITING BY THE PHONE/(NO!)/STAND OUT IN THE RAIN/TO GET THE FLOW BACK IN/LAST NIGHT I DREAMED ABOUT YOUR FACE AGAIN/OLD FRIEND/CUT DOWN THE TALLEST TREE IN TOWN/BUILD A BRIDGE AND THEN YOU TEAR IT OUT/GET DOWN CLOSER TO THE GROUND/IT’S UPHILL ALL THE WAY HOME

TINY MURDERS

THE WORLD STARTED OVER/WHEN I SAW THAT YOU SAW ME THAT WAY/ALL THIS RIPPING AND PULLING/LIKE MY PIECES WOULD JUST BLOW AWAY/AND I’M FUCKING HUGE NOW/I’M TALLER EVERY DAY/YOU’RE INTIMIDATED!/WHY CAN’T I JUST STAY IN MY PLACE?/THERE’S ROOM FOR MORE STARS IN THE SKY/THE DARK STAR WILL STILL SHINE/I DON’T WANT TO FIGHT/(BUT I’LL FUCKING FIGHT!)/YOU WONT GET WHAT’S IN MY WITH THE EDGE OF A KNIFE!/WE’RE KILLING EACH OTHER (WITH) TINY MURDERS!!/THERE’S PLENTY OF LIGHT IN MY EYES/BUT THE BRIGHTEST STARS STILL DIE/MY WATER IS BREAKING/LIVE MY WHOLE LIFE WITH BLOOD STAINS/AND MY BONES ARE ACHING/ FOR ALL THAT WE WISH WE COULD CHANGE

HAD ENOUGH (OF THIS HELL)

WAKE UP EVERY AFTERNOON/AND THE SUN LOOKS LIKE IT’S COMING DOWN ON THE WALL PRETTY SOON/YEAH THAT WINTER SKY/STILL GOT IT’S EYE ON YOU/CAN’T SLEEP/DON’T EAT/HEARTBEAT ASKING YOU/DON’T YOU THINK YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH?/DON’T YOU THINK YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS HELL?/THEY MAKE YOU FAKE IT LIKE YOU’RE TOUGH/WELL I KNOW THAT’S HOW IT GOES/AND THE OIL JUST KEEPS ON SPILLING/WHILE THE MEN BEHIND LOCKED DOORS MAKE THEIR DECISIONS/WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION/AND MY OLD FRIEND’S STILL DEAD/GODDAMN I MISS HIM/HE STILL SINGS ME SONGS AND I SING ALONG/LIKE I’M ASKING/DON’T YOU THINK YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH/DON’T YOU THINK YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS HELL?/PRETENDING LIKE YOUR GROWN UP/WELL I KNOW THAT’S HOW IT GOES/I KNOW YOU KNOW?/DON’T YOU THINK YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH/DON’T YOU THINK YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS HELL/FALLING DOWN AND GETTING UP/YEAH I KNOW THAT’S HOW IT GOES/YOU KNOW THAT’S HOW IT GOES!/I DON’T QUITE KNOW JUST HOW IT GOES!?/DON’T KNOW!/JUST HOW IT GOES

RVIVR LP – LYRICS

RAIN DOWN

RAIN DOWN SOME CHANGE ON ME/FLOW THROUGH ME LIKE A STREAM/LIGHT FIRE ‘NEATH MY FEET/BALANCE ME IN BETWEEN

EDGE OF LIVING

DO YOU NEED A CHANGE? LIKE A NEW PAIR OF RUNNING SHOES TO MAKE A QUICK ESCAPE BEFORE THIS PLACE FUCKING KILLS YOU/WE’RE ALL HYPOCRITES AND HALF-ASSED LIARS/LONELY FREAKS WITH HEARTS ON FIRE/THEY BURN SO BRIGHT WE HAVE TO HIDE BEHIND OUR DAILY LIES/CUZ YOU TOSS AND TURN EVERY NIGHT, YOU MADE IT THRU THE DAY BUT SOMETHING JUST AIN’T RIGHT/AS YOU TRY TO BALANCE ON THE EDGE OF LIVING/RIGHT AND WRONG BLUR TO GREY/YOU START THE DAY WITH NOTHING GOOD TO SAY/NEVER THOUGHT YOU BE THIS WAY/SO SCARED OF GROWING OLD/FRIEND HOLD ON DO YOU NEED A BREAK? (SLOW DOWN THIS MANIC PACE/SMASH A FUCKING PLATE IT’LL MAKE YOU FEEL MUCH BETTER)/FROM THESE SHITTY JOBS AND MOLD HOUSES/BROKEN BONES AND OVERDOSES/THE FACT THAT WE SURVIVE AT ALL IS KIND OF A SURPRISE/OLD FRIEND HOLD/IF NOTHING THAN TO THIS SONG/OLD FRIEND STAY STRONG/TAKE WHAT YOU NEED AND MOVE ON

BREATHE OUT

I CAN’T BREATHE/CHAINS TIGHT ON ME/I’M ALMOST FREE/ YEAH, I ALMOST BELIEVE IT/CAN’T LEARN TO FLY/OR EVEN GO OUTSIDE/BUT THE BEST I CAN DO IS TRY/WE WAIT FOR RAIN/OR FOR THE TIDES TO CHANGE/LIKE WE’RE STUCK (STUCK) SLEEPING STANDING UP/CAKED WITH RUST/THEY’LL STEAL WHAT’S YOURS/SELL IT BACK TO YOU/THEY’RE ALWAYS TELLING YOU/WHAT YOU CAN’T DO/PULL IT UP FROM YER GUTS/UP FROM THE MUD/DAWN TO DUSK/WE MUST LEARN TO LET GO OF WHAT HURTS/OR INSIDE IT BURNS AND BURNS I ALWAYS CAN FEEL IT

REAL MEAN

I READ BACK OVER THINGS THAT I WROTE THREE YEARS AGO/AND I’M TEN YEARS OLDER TIME/ MOVES FAST AND TIME MOVES SLOW/BEFORE YOU TOLD ME THAT I’D FUCKED UP WORSE THAN NONE BEFORE/YOU WHISPERED THAT I WAS A BETTER PERSON THAT YOU/I DISAGREED THEN/ DON’T ANYMORE/AND WHAT’S THE USE? I KNOW THAT YOU’RE JUST SORE TO LOSE/CUZ I WAS NEVER HALF AS BAD AS YOU WERE BAD TO ME/BEING REAL NOT BEING MEAN/YOU TRIED TO TWIST IT/I TRIED TO FIX IT MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER KNOW/TO DO THINGS RIGHT TO BE YOUR FRIEND AND MAKE IT RIGHT/TO FIND A THREAD THAT I COULD START TO SEW/YOU’RE OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING REAL AND BEING MEAN

CUT THE CORD

EMPTY BUILDINGS/BUT THEY KEEP BUILDING/CONCRETE COLD FEET/WE FORGOT SO MUCH WE USED TO KNOW/CUZ IT THERE’S NO ROOM TO GROW WE’LL ALL EXPLODE/EVERYBODY’S TALKING SHIT/YOU GET USED TO IT/WE FLOAT ON AND ON AND ON/AND EVERYBODY’S FEELING BORED JUST CUT THE CORD/THAT’S DRAGGING YOU ON AND ON/STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF PEOPLE/THERE AIN’T NO WAY AROUND IT/LIKE IF YOU HOLE UP INSIDE YOU’LL STAY WARM AND DRY/NO NO NO NO

GRANDMA

TREES DROP THEIR LEAVES THEY FALL BY SO FAST/YOU DON’T EVEN NOTICE THE WEATHER/LOOKED UP AND YOU’D PASSED AND I’D THOUGHT THAT YOU’D LIVE FOREVER/BUT YOU’RE GONE FOREVER/THERE WERE NEW STORIES JUST LAST TIME I SAW HER FROM THE LIFE OF MY MAMA’S MOTHER/WE’LL HAVE TO DREAM UP THE ONES THAT WE MISSED BECAUSE NOTHING ABOUT LIFE IS FOREVER/I’LL LOVE YOU FOREVER/FOREVER SPREADS AND BLOCKS THE WAY/THE FUTURE FOLDS INTO TODAY/FIGHTING THE WISH TO MAKE YOU STAY/YOU HAVE TO GO AND THAT’S OK

LIFE & DEATH

AS THE HOUSES GET EMPTY/THE STREETS BEGIN TO FILL/I CAN’T SEE INSIDE THE MIND OF THE PERSON WHO GETS TO DECIDE WHO DESERVES TO LIVE INSIDE/IT’S LIFE AND DEATH/THE PROBLEM IS COSMETIC/WE MUST NOT GET IT/AS THE HEART GETS EMPTY/IT’S EASIER TO KILL/IF WE CAN’T SEE TRASH ON THE STREET/AND WE DON’T SEE FOLKS ON THE STREET/WE LIVE A LIE THAT’S SAFE AND CLEAN/IT’S LIFE AND DEATH/YOUR PROBLEM IS COSMETIC/IT’S LIFE AND DEATH

ANIMAL HANDS

WHAT DO YOU GIVE? HOW MUCH DO YOU TAKE? CAN YOU ADMIT YOU MADE A MISTAKE/WHEN CONSEQUENCE COMES CALLING? JUST LIKE ME YOU SHIT AND SLEEP/A COWARD AND A KING/A HUMAN BEING/YER NOT EVEN A VILLAIN/YOU’RE JUST A MAN/AN ANIMAL WITH HANDS/I’LL TAKE CONTROL/I’LL LET YOU GO/NO MATTER WHERE YOU WERE BORN/NO MATTER WHAT YOU EARN/JUST LIKE EVERYONE YOU’RE DYING

COLD IN YOUR BONES

LOOKING FOR LIGHT ON THE DARKEST OF DAYS/WHEN LIFE DISAPPOINTS YOU IN TOO MANY WAYS/BUT YOU FORGOT THE PART/THERE’S LIGHT IN THE DARK/THERE’S GOTTA BE ONE MORE THAN ZERO REAL HEARTS/THE NOTES ARE ALL WRONG BUT YOU STILL SING ALONG/WONDERING WHERE THE DAY HAS GONE/CLUTTER COMES CONFUSES AND INVADES/THE JUNK IN YOUR YARD AND THE BRAIN YOU CAN’T CHANGE/YOU’RE OUT OF CONTROL/YOU DON’T WANT TO GO/IT’S HARD TO STAY WARM WHEN THE COLD’S IN YOUR BONES/RADIO RADIO SING ME SOMETHING I KNOW/LET’S GO LET’S GO WHOA

BREATHE IN

OPEN MY MOUTH/EYES LOOK OUT/BREATHING IN THE SKIN OF EVERY ONE OF YOU/IT HURTS TO SAY/BUT WE’RE ALL THE SAME/EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT STORY/WE’RE ALL TELLING STORIES/BUT WE’RE TALKING AT THE SAME TIME/IT’S TIME TO GO OUTSIDE AND TRY/TO SPIT FROM YOUR MOUTH TO MINE/WE’RE BURNING FROM BOTH SIDES

CHANGE ON ME

NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO LIFE SURROUND YOU/NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO DEATH SURROUNDS/AS TIME IT SPEEDS AND SLOWS/YOUR GUTS THEY ACHE FROM THE CHANGE/YOU FEAR YOU’VE LOST CONTROL/CUZ NOTHING EVER STAYS THE SAME/AND THEN AN OLD FRIEND SANG TO ME/”WE GOTTA FIND SOME ENERGY”/TO BALANCE IN BETWEEN/BEING REAL AND BEING FREE/RAIN DOWN SOME CHANGE ON ME/FLOW THRU ME LIKE A STREAM/LIGHT FIRE ‘NEATH MY FEET/BALANCE ME IN BETWEEN/WHEN YOU CAN’T GET WHAT YOU WANT/WHEN YOU FORGET HOW TO BREATHE/HANDS NUMB YOU GRIND YOUR TEETH/GIRL THAT AIN’T WHAT YOU NEED!/AS TIME IT SPEEDS AND SLOWS/LIFE SURROUNDS YOU/YOU FEAR YOU’VE LOST CONTROL AS DEATH SURROUNDS YOU/HOW DOES IT END?/I THINK YOU ALREADY KNOW/WE GOTTA GROW/WE GOTTA GO
