These days do get long Waiting for the sun Waiting for the memory Of us to move on We are now breaking me Neatly in two Oh,I know you There hasn’t always been a park here It was a fort where pioneers Would take the arrows that they deserved I found my name In a book about Tennessee From 1817 These days do get long Waiting for the sun Waiting for the memories Of us to be gone We are now breaking me Neatly in two Oh, I know you

Airport '17 02:37
I bought a James Patterson novel at the airport Upon arrival, I had composed this book retort: A coven of wickens conspires to sicken D.C. The Fourth of July the whole cabinet dies on TV The witches are proven a part of a far left-wing plot The Islamo-Communist race/gender gun thieves are stopped

Shut up, fly right We like you Don’t give us a reason not to Surveillance state’s in action We’ll know what you think and do 189-424, 424 When we turn up Let’s be clear All the evidence will be here And as you’re going under We’ll read your Neiman number 189-424, 424

Knockin’ ‘em back like it’s not the afternoon There are hours between us And things we have to do I don’t ever wait for a good time Tonight’s mine We don’t ever wait for a better time Look in the sky, it’s the eye in the triangle They’re putting their finger on you You better wait for a better time
5.
I am recalling another missed opportunity Which led directly to a great personal loss And which I’d fix if I could fix some things that I have done The list is long Viewed with perspective, it veers Arcing over time, the meanings of things changing Practically with the seasons With rhyme and for reasons For years and years and anguished years I’ve been the driver But I am aliver than ever and ready to sever The ties that worry me For years and years and anguished years I was the driver A nine-and-a-fiver A real late arriver Not too much a striver

Sick Days 03:09
Go west and book yourself an extended stay The weekend’s gonna bruise you You’re coming over I heard about it in the chess club My nerves unraveled Titans of bankruptcy Born with the pedigree To take what you see Six hours late no check in, no call, no show This Tuesday’s gonna screw you You’re coming over We’re gonna watch a little Hee-Haw My timbers shivered Losing your agency Losing your future to People in an old folk’s home Go west and book yourself an extended stay The weekend’s gonna kill me You’re coming over I cut my penis on a tall-boy My nerves unravelled Captains of vagrancy Learning the 3rd degree Nowhere to go

If things are certain, I do not know what they are Looking through tapes while we slide around in your van Someone in your family is a real Air Supply fan

In A 02:17 video
Oh, find the violence Draw the bowstring Let fly all the arrows of justice and sing: Life is pretty dumb Misery is real Compassion is the only thing People of action can’t stand to lose Now that it’s fallen out of fashion So, tune your instrument Not well, be honest The kids know more than you yet We belong in the good air Where nothing matters not We belong up in the passes Where nobody says your name cause You don’t have anything
9.
Friends and family Are you ok, do you see what I see Terror in the hearts of the free Gestapo shops the same grocery as me Sometimes the wind blows true We miss you And are implored to Hope, fight, wait, fight Hope, wait, fight Sometimes the wind blows true And sometimes it’s out to get you We’ve learned something new They’ve hidden bodies in the fescue Sometimes the wind blows true We miss you And are implored to Look for something new Nobody’s coming to our rescue
10.
Tell me what you do We’re oppressors of the destitute We’ll be burying the hatchet in you Before you get a little money you can Try to put away for tomorrow Tell me about yourself We’ll be burying the hatchet in you Before you know Counting the bastards’ Uniforms on forms Lean on your axe, Clytemnestra of Hooverville To whom much is given Much more will be given soon, soon We’re not part of the problem
11.
Because of the way life leans, What’s the weight of all of the denied dreams? When you are not heard or seen, When does the outrage outweigh the means? The torches and battle scenes Make it clear the outrage outweighs the means The sickening impunity Makes the outrage outweigh the means for me Because of this gang of fiends, And because the cruelty’s become routine, And babies caged in our names, I can see a white house gone up in flames

Thank you most importantly to Jeremy Ferguson, whose role in making this album went so far beyond just recording us doing our thing. He truly felt like a fourth member of the band throughout the process, and his creativity, skill, and graciousness are beautiful things to behold.

Thanks also to Matt Glassmeyer, Brad Kemp, and Jim Lewis, who listened to these songs in such focused and generous ways, and who provided much-needed and totally-employed advice.
