LYRICS

1. APOCALYPTIC BLUES

Well I woke with no one else around
It's hard to get up when the world is burning down
And I woke with this madness in my mind
I'd paint a pretty picture if I knew where to draw the line

How you gonna walk if you don't wanna crawl
Why you wanna jump if you don't wanna fall
And I got nothing
Nothing to prove
I keep fighting these apocalyptic blues

Well I woke with this sadness in my heart
I forget the role I'm playing, I forget the part
And I woke with this madness in my mind
I'd paint a pretty picture if I knew where to draw the line

How you gonna walk if you don't wanna crawl
Why you wanna jump if you don't wanna fall
And I got nothing
Nothing to prove
I keep fighting these apocalyptic blues

How you gonna walk if you don't wanna crawl
Why you wanna jump if you don't wanna fall
And I got nothing
Nothing to prove
I keep fighting these apocalyptic blues

 

2. SWEETHEART JUNE

Didn't wanna feel this way like I'm down to the wire
Hanging on to every word you say above a ring of fire
Baby, when you get so close and there's nowhere to hide
I'll tear the words right from the page so you can lock them deep inside

Baby it's been lonely waiting on a woman like you
Thinkin' I could be your Johnny, you could be my sweetheart June
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe you're crazy too
Thinking I could be your Johnny
You could be my sweetheart June

Maybe I'm tired tryin' to walk that line
Don't wanna see you run away like you're running through my mind
Maybe there's no way out of these games
You could be the queen hearts, I could be the king of spades

Baby it's been lonely waiting on a woman like you
Thinkin' I could be your Johnny and you could be my sweetheart June
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe you're crazy too
Thinkin' I could be your Johnny
You could be my sweetheart June

Baby it's been lonely waiting on a woman like you
Thinkin' I could be your Johnny and you could be my sweetheart June
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe you're crazy too
Thinkin' I could be your Johnny
You could be my sweetheart June

 

3. SHAKE

Baby I feel you when I'm going down
And I breathe in this body like I breathe in you now
Tell me it's alright when I'm feeling shook
I kept biting until I was hooked

Baby you're fire
Make me shake
Baby you're fire
Make me weak
I know I never know until it's too late

Baby I feel you and the cut of your kiss
The pull of your eyes thru the dust, thru the mist
Tell me it's alright when I'm coming down
I've been down every street, every road in this town

Baby you're fire
Make me shake
Baby you're fire
Make me weak
Baby you're fire
Make me shake
Baby you're fire
Make me weak
I know I never know, I know I never know
I know I never know, I know I never know

 

4. DANDELION

Dandelion, why you dying?
Wake me up in the morning
You don't want me
You don't need
Feel you crawl into infamy

You are my heavy heart
You are my sweet emptiness

Dandelion, what's the news?
I'm deep in hiding since we burned the fuse
I keep writing, tried to tell you
You don't know your own loneliness

You are my heavy heart
You are my sweet emptiness

Dandelion, out to sea
Sailed away with your calvary
Out of focus, did you notice
When we sank in our misery?

You are my heavy heart
You are my sweet emptiness
You are my sweet emptiness

 

5. FADE TO GREY

In all these books on every page
Another story that fades to grey
Don't cut too deep, don't take it to heart
Like every loser got to play his cards

I got a fever and I just can't fight it
I try to run, I try to hide it
I'm burnin' up in the setting sun
Ashes to ashes 'til I come undone

Cover your face, cover your eyes
Cover you up and I say goodbye
I'm in it deep and I got no way out
Like every drunkard got one more round

I got a fever and I just can't fight it
I try to run, I try to hide it
I'm burnin' up in the setting sun
Ashes to ashes 'til I come undone

I got it bad and I'm all out of tricks
Like every junkie gotta find his fix
In every book on every page
Another story that fades to grey

I got a fever and I just can't fight it
I try to run, I try to hide it
I'm burnin' up in the setting sun
Ashes to ashes 'til I come undone

 

6. FAR FROM FAMOUS (INSTRUMENTAL)

 

7. ONLY YOU

I'm on your side darlin'
When the wolves come around
No fear in my eyes
With my ear to the ground
Now I got your back baby
When the ghosts come around
And they haunting our house
I'll burn it to the ground

Only you
Only you

And I'm underneath darlin'
When the wall's coming down
And it's breaking my bones
No, I won't make a sound

Only you
Only you
