You're a good fuck, sailor
I never say shit I don't mean
I grew up in this shithole
Run by cunts on power trips
You're no such cunt
At least not right now
You just walked in
Ordered a shitty whiskey
I set my eyes on you
Things went as things always go
When thirsty apes meet thirsty apes
And then you told me about him
His peaceful ways
I never told you my side of it
I hate his face
I can remember holding him
He was already gone
This shit was fight or flight
He chose to fly away from me
Things went as things always go
When hollow apes meet hollow apes
He just said "I can't take this madness any longer,
this world is so confused.
And that was it. God took the fucker,
gave nothing in return.
I've been running my own show
Since I was 17
I still don't know how to love a stranger
Never learnt how to trust a thief
They come, they go
Never look people in the eyes
You just walked in
Ordered a shitty whiskey
You set your eyes on me
Things went as things always go
When thirsty apes meet thirsty apes

The nights are bright out in the sea
My old head casting shadows
With every hit, bigger they grow
Suspended from the gallows
At nights like this one I can't see
Who's here, who's dead, who's dying
Who killed first, who was really killed
Your eyes and his are lying
The hours fly straight right through the noose
They scream, they spit, they growl
They just don't seem to let it go
They're deaf, they're blind, they're foul
He kept you hanging from that tree
For days on end, there, swinging
The passersby saw through it all
He stood right by you, singing
You know I cut him in his sleep
You should have seen his face
He sure was peaceful, opened up
To endings, death, to grace
The hours fly straight right through the noose
They scream, they spit, they growl
They just don't seem to let it go
They're deaf, they're blind, they're foul
But they succumb to this holy breeze
The songs of salt it hums
The hits are now the medicine
Communion with our Sons

Yeah, she'll be waiting for me
She knows how it's done
That's how she made it this far
We'll be fine
Thank you for the fire
You old fuck
I'll pass it on
We'll keep it burning
Give me a hit before I go
It's been a good ride
You got more stories for me
Write them down, send them home
Just remember to forget my name
Just make something up
I hear they're having too much fun
He went missing as they do
They gave him back a broken man
Bruised up, his lost days in his blank stare
This will have to change.
They will have to change.
Give me a hit before I go
It's been a good ride

Palms pressed against each other
Eyes closed, face down
Thoughts tamed, all noise deflected
By our Redeemer's thorny crown
But then I got to find out
That my prayers never reached her
He made this one as clear as ether
The snake stayed out of sight
Warm and safe in its shell
When time was right it showed its face
I fought, he died, I ran away
And then I got to find out
That my prayers never reached her
He made this one as clear as ether
The Sun is rising every morning
The Earth still breeds its seeds
Some of us silly apes are truly present
I'll be praying for our sins
