Apt 1F 04:17
I find the more I say that I don't love you anymore With poison tears, you erase my youth I copped a wishless disconnected attitude Like faithless friends, we betrayed our truths I live my days out in this dirty crosstown dive Sweating out the very thing that's keeping me alive Just to write these words, another glass, a melody, a knot once tied too tight, come untied, burned too bright I can't help but laugh sometimes You're not the girl I had in mind You're just a product of your time I'd like to say you left me high and dry, but I can't lie Your crooked smile, the very thing that made you beautiful, has died. Only some commit the crime, but we all end up doing time, and pay our fines Checking years off of our lives Though I'm stuck with you for now, one day I'll wipe your dirt from off my brow, and move along Sun's coming up, and nothing left for me to do but somehow I keep coming back to you Sun's coming up, and nothing left for me to do Girl, I ain't through with you Sun's coming up, and nothing left for me to do but somehow I keep coming back to you Sun's coming up, and nothing left for me to do but somehow I keep coming back to you This town will make a bleeding martyr out of you but somehow I keep coming back to you

The Ferryman 04:10
Mr. Ferryman I've been trodding on the shore for way too long Only got a penny, can you help me cross this river? Float me like a feather, back to home Mr. Ferryman Got no baggage, no companion, I'm a mess I can't feel my fingers, every season sings like winter, but before I go, can I make one request? When life feels like a noose Cut me loose and float me gently out to sea Please don't wake me up For if you do, I might be stuck inside my dreams Undertaker man, can't you drop me even more than six feet deep? Seen so much beneath these skies, I'm wondering what the view is like tucked beneath a comforter of peat When you're digging, man, won't you make sure that the ground is packed real tight? Don't let me escape my grave, to see just what a wreck I've made I'll forget it all within a night When life feels like a noose Cut me loose and float me gently out to sea Please don't wake me up For if you do, I might be stuck inside my dreams Mr. Preacher, man, won't you please exaggerate my eulogy? Lord, I know it's sinful if you lie about my story, but I need to be remembered as the man my parents wanted me to be When life feels like a noose Cut me loose and float me gently out to sea Please don't wake me up For if you do, I might be stuck inside my dreams If you do, I might be stuck
