Foxhunt 04:20
Wake up with the sun on your face On a wooden ship in a foreign place A nagging feeling, we can't be alone As black flags amass to take all we own Two on port, more on the starboard side (I didn't sign up for this, I didn't sign up for this) A sterling symbol of hatred emblazoned in white (I didn't sign up for this, I didn't sign up for this) The fire from above Will send us beneath the waves Sinking in our fears The Devil knows how to row Remembering a time When we were anywhere but here Get up wipe the blood off your back With a desperate cry to fend off the attack A vacant pleading, this can't be the end While we bid farewell to out fallen friends Two on port, more on the starboard side (I didn't sign up for this, I didn't sign up for this) A sterling symbol of hatred emblazoned in white (I didn't sign up for this, I didn't sign up for this) The fire from above Will send us beneath the waves Sinking in our fears The Devil knows how to row Remembering a time When we were anywhere but here

I’m drunk in the crow’s nest But still it persists The ache of my heart And the pain in my wrists I pray for forgiveness The things that I’ve done As shots turn to bottles Undeserving of what was us The moon calls my name The ink bleeds to stain the page I write in vain To God, to you in hopes that the message gets through The Ocean is calling My names in the breeze While your beautiful body Is dead in the sea I pray for forgiveness For what I did to you And the unborn child Asleep in your womb You spoke through the pain But darling you’d never change It wasn't in vain Oh God I knew I hope that the message got through. I’m sick of the bullshit I’ve brought to you all Been a waste of potential Now I’m caught in the trawl Perhaps I could make up Recompense for my shame Steer into the breakers Help the waves earn their name The fire fuels the flame This ship a gilded cage It isn’t in vain There’s no God on crew I hope that this message gets though This isn’t for anyone This isn’t for anyone This isn’t for anyone For no one haunts my dreams My eyes to the ocean Deep ‘neath my feet turn the helm to the stones As I plunge to the sea

Winter 04:05
(LYRICS BY FALLOE) Honey, I can't get out of bed I've been losing sleep all winter I try to hide what's in my heart It gets harder to remember I can't help thinking, Lorelei I get slower by the hour If nothing's said and nothing's done do the demons come undone (CHORUS) Don't get angry It's not your fault I was always someone else in your arms I know you're lonely That's my fault I was always somewhere else in your arms (/CHORUS) I should call the hospital I've been coughing up blood all morning I guess it don't matter how far you run Things find a way of catching up And I crawl on all fours (x4) (CHORUS)

What’ll we do with a drunken sailor Early in the morning Put’m in the longboat ’til he’s sober Early in the morning Put’m in the scuppers with the hosepipe on’m Early in the morning Way hey and up she rises Early in the morning

I dreamed a dream the other night Lowlands, lowlands away me John My love she came, dressed all in white Lowlands away I dreamed my love came in my sleep Lowlands, lowlands away me John Her cheeks were wet, her eyes did weep Lowlands away She came to me at my bedside Lowlands, lowlands away me John All dressed in white, like some fair bride Lowlands away And bravely in her bosom fair Lowlands, lowlands away me John Her red, red rose, my love did wear Lowlands away She made no sound, no word she said Lowlands, lowlands away me John And then I knew my love was dead Lowlands away Then I awoke to hear the cry Lowlands, lowlands away me John Oh watch on deck Oh watch, ahoy Lowlands away
