Freight 03:54

I carry you on to bed I am hanging on by a thread There are better times ahead "Wake me up tomorrow," she said You can wear my clothes, but bring them back You're just a girl I can't unpack I was at the wedding wearing black You were just a train off the tracks You're the reason I started singing again Hide out here and I'll count to ten Out of seven, you're my favorite sin No one's treating you the way I've been Bubble bath; laughing at the song You're the sweetest thing I string along The train tracks got here all wrong Go back to my bed where you belong You can wear my clothes, but bring them back You're just a girl I can't unpack I was at the wedding wearing black You were just a train off the tracks You're the reason I started singing again Hide out here and I'll count to ten Out of seven, you're my favorite sin No one's treating you the way I've been

Damsel 04:02
lyrics
buy track
I'm so tired of a game of telephone You're just a child overgrown You're just a child that's childproof-prone I was driving away with my tires all blown I am trapped in a body I already disowned I'd love you for good, but I have it postponed Flipped the railroad switch on my way home Tied myself down to the tracks I'm dreaming of seeing smokestacks Off the rails, headed outbound I'm so sick of this shitty town Take my hand; I might come around I hate you but love the way you sound I hate you and I'll drive us into the ground I'm a mistake; lost and never found Flipped the railroad switch on my way down Tied myself down to the tracks I'm dreaming of seeing smokestacks

Interchange Station 03:17
lyrics
buy track
Can't get the smell of you out of my bed Do I fuck as good as you dread? You never came as fast as you fled Did you want the others still instead? Who put the idea in your head? I said I love you, and you turned red (I wish I was dead) You were just a mistress, child I was just a girl exiled Go to sleep, little girl, get in bed You left on a Monday as I pled All along I played to be bled My predescesors can fucking drop dead Have you learned nothing from what I have said? I learned a lot from seeing red (I wish I was dead) You were just a mistress, child I was just a girl exiled She's leaving with that smile I'm jumping the turnstile I'm stumbling down the aisle The train is leaving all the while And I can't see home for miles I can't see home for miles You were just a mistress, child I was just a girl exiled

Train-Hopping 03:46
lyrics
buy track
I had everything I needed to hide Was catching a ride on the underside Wasn't expecting to collide Caught the eye of a passerby Didn't know where I was going or why Who was she, and who was I? I said, "I love you, don't be shy" She said, "Hello, goodbye" She was the lost girl paradigm Was taking her such a crime? Took the through-train home this time It must be an eye for an eye Must be an eye for an eye Oh my darlin' don't you cry When they ask of me, deny Fate is what you grab when you pass by Fate is never having to ask why I got what I deserved with her reply, "I never loved you, goodbye" I never make it home 'cause I never try She was the lost girl paradigm Was taking her such a crime? Took the through-train home this time

Depersonalization 03:12
lyrics
buy track
Who am I if I became the lie? Where fo idols go when they die? Where does psychosis go when denied? Where do I go just to stand by? How much longer must I try? I think I'm in the wrong life I think I have the wrong strife What happens when I remove the knife? I think you have the wrong gal I think you have the wrong morale She said drink and so we shall I think I made myself a pal The voices don't need a rationale I think I'm in the wrong life I think I have the wrong strife What happens when I remove the knife? Life was made of land mines The explosion girl was vilified Something must give, but it isn't in time I think I'm in the wrong life I think I have the wrong strife What happens when I remove the knife?

Amnesiac 03:15
lyrics
buy track
I don't know how long this has gone The right track went wrong I fell right through the song They had to tell me I didn't belong How am I supposed to move on? Please forgive me for not knowing your name The face familiar the place the same The hooded figure to blame She went beastly from tame The voice said in time it came The story was quite a shame The girl who went insane The girl that took the train I don't remember how to contain I can only remember the pain Scorch the earth and remain I was swallowed by the flame The body to reclaim

Train-Robber 03:44
lyrics
buy track
I smile at gunpoint; look me in the eye You think I won't blow us all to the sky? Does the damsel know she's not gonna die? I'm in distress but I don't know why Car to car I ransack my life Which one of you's gonna start the strife? I'll pull a knife The weight of it all felt right I came to take her for good this time I came to take what's yours; what's mine Give me all the hell you have on standby The freedom is what money can't buy Car to car I ransack my life Which one of you's gonna start the strife? I'll pull a knife The weight of it all felt right Smokestack filled the great blue sky I think I'm happy enough to die I've got my teeth on the dynamite Are you a bandit, child, or a witness who'll lie?

Ghosts 03:42
lyrics
buy track
Skeletons in my closet came out again I ask myself where I've been Where do I begin? Drowning on shore, learning to swim I am hollow; inside-out within She came like autumn wind Much to my chagrin I haven't slept since The voice in my head said jump I swallowed most of the brunt Dredging through the water-front Memories don't fade, they turn to ghosts The happiness felt like an overdose Are you alive or just a host? You die before you reach the coast I can barely stay afloat The walls I climb need another coat I am haunted by what I love the most To that I'll make a toast The voice in my head said jump I swallowed most of the brunt Dredging through the water-front What do I use ghosts for? I'll wash up someday on shore What do I use ghosts for? I'll wash up someday on shore

Wash Out Signal 03:30
lyrics
buy track
Passenger brake threw me down We were the light coming out Wash out signal got buried in doubt If a tunnel comes will you hear me shout? It rained on us, derailed in a drought I was hell-bound in a roundabout I stopped force and saw the debris I stopped for once and saw it was me I want to change the way we go I think the past moves backwards too slow I think it's just all I know I always knew the tires would blow It's time for the ground up to grow It's time to wash up from the undertow I stopped force and saw the debris I stopped for once and saw it was me

At The End 04:19
lyrics
buy track
I'm sorry I ran into you I know you're sorry, too The bullet went right through There's a hole I can't get to Took the through-train out of town I got lost to never be found I screamed, but it made no sound The railway tunnel drowned it out I wear my damage like a crown I am selfish all around Drove us like a stake into the ground Was bringing the heart of you down Took the through-train out of town I got lost to never be found I screamed, but it made no sound The railway tunnel drowned it out I put the gun to my head because they said I'm better off dead I lost a friend I lost the light at the end Took the through-train out of town I got lost to never be found I screamed, but it made no sound The railway tunnel drowned it out

Abandoned Railway 03:02
lyrics
buy track
I forgot what it was like to be alone There was a line pulled out of the telephone I do not answer to your tone I can't write your letter without picking a bone I am too broken to find a home I sleep on the floor of the life ransacked I abandon the locomotive I hijacked Auxiliary track took me back To knives and wolves and visions gone black I've been here before, the amnesiac I have some sort of knack There are still so many wounds to unpack I sleep on the floor of the life ransacked I abandon the locomotive I hijacked Now what do I use ghosts for? Caught in bed again with the whore What was it you swore? You're not here with me anymore I burned my clothes that you wore I lie down on the floor I disintegrate and ask for more Something will grow from beneath this war Something someday will show up on shore You can't keep me down at the core You can't keep me down at the core
