1.Knives At The Wall
You did it
Finally
They almost asked it of you
Didn they
And they took it
Finally
Did you want them to
Well their backs are on us now
So let throw all the knives at the wall
When we throw all the knives at the wall
There will be no stopping
There will be no stopping
2.All The Spokes
All the spokes are bent
We weren't even in the road
I'll collect the evidence all the way home
It's safe in here
I know, I know, I know
But this is not the only battlefield
On the long way home
On the long way home
On the long way home
We're alone
All the spokes are bent
We weren't even in the road
I'll collect the evidence all the way home
It's safe in here
I know, I know, I know
But this is not the only battlefield
On the long way home
On the long way home
On the long way home
We're alone
3.Cup on the Counter
The cup on the counter leaves a circular stain
The rut from the tire is deep in the clay
The flat of the grass where a body was laid
The contents of pockets all strewn on a table
Why try to lie to me
I'm not a child I know what I've seen
Why try to lie to me
I'm not a child I know what I've seen
The fray of the fabric, the edge of the chair
The hard to reach places, the things you put there
Ashes on cinders long after the flames
The rain on the road leaves a beautiful haze
Why try to lie to me
I'm not a child I know what I've seen
Why try to lie to me
I'm not a child I know what I've seen
4.The Mezzanine
In the yard
Small things beat you down
Till you could not leave the house
Take your leverage when you can
Take the beast by the hand
They will always be
In the mezzanine
In the mezzanine
They will always be
In the mezzanine
In the mezzanine
5.Creepyaskudzu
Creepy as kudzu
Hides what it chokes
Is it not beautiful
Though morose
You took a bed
And then gutted your host
But not hiding for long
But not hiding for long
But not hiding for long
But not hiding
For long
Heavy as horseshoes＊ thrown on a lawn
Muscle remembers them when they e gone
Just as I can't let this one go
And it won't be thrown, it won't be thrown
(Horse shoes is a game where one tosses horse shoes at a stake
in the ground.)
6.Marlene
Just like we failed marlene
Left her with arms gaping
Like two wild birds
Entangled in string
Like we failed oh Marlene
Like we failed oh Marlene
Passed your brother on a street
Gathering money from machines
And there at his feet
Lay every little reason
He keeps going
He keeps going
Well, oh well.
7.Silent Partner
(Instrumental)
8.Shivering Assembly
This shivering assembly
Barely hides our motives
Underneath this pageantry
It's only getting uglier
Anybody can see
9.Little Ascendant
Your birth was a mystery
Your life was exposed
They took it and twisted it
And made it their own
Now high on your history
Now drunk on your lore
They're armed and not listening
And soon at your door
And these words that crawled in their hearts would then rip us
apart
And for what？
For what？ we've been dying to know
For what？ we've been dying to know
For what？ we've been dying to know
It's breaking my heart
This plague on your minds
It's breaking my heart
This plague on your minds
It's breaking my heart
This plague on your minds
It's breaking my heart
This plague on your minds
10.No Apology
I am standing right here by your baby
We are breathing the same way
I have taken a toll on your gracious
Appetite for holding on
And what, what can i say
What can i offer you
I'm not built that way
I have no apology
I am standing right here
On a dock that you built
I will try not to look at your face
Cause all that is in you
Radiates
And it's more
It is more than I'll take
11.In the Throes
If I could take it all apart and hold it still enough
Then we could see exactly what is keeping this aloft
On spite of all of this incessant circling over us
And even what we love the most calls our ship to the rocks
The pretty way you mutilate the mystery
And hang it up and let the light stab through the flimsy fabric
I never understood before
I never wanted the floor
But now I'm in the throes
Now I'm in the throes
Now I'm in the throes of it
