1.	Thirsty Apes 03:04	lyrics	buy track
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
2.	Communion 04:51	lyrics	buy track
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
3.	Just a Kid 03:51	lyrics	buy track
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
4.	Presence 05:26	lyrics	buy track
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

about

Few westerners alive today have been through war at home. These are the voices of four of our grandmothers and grandfathers. And if we listen, we might see that it's never the alien villains and superheroes. It's always just us. It was your grandpa that was dropping bombs, and your buddy's grandma that was hiding from them. And it might just be us that launch the fucking Apocalypse. And if we get it, we might just do something about it.
