Now they want coffee Hot black joe So I must be ready When the burner starts to glow We're building a bridge for them They hold steady In the snow Your coffee's ready Time to go They're here So please come across With your fire and hunger and hammers And pictures of us from when we were young Your coffee is almost done

Marriage 03:50
Lights out, gold teeth warm beer, cold meat you wave no more through open doors marraige big room, cold sigh please stay, dont lie we wait for what we wait for what marriage lights out, gold teeth warm beer, cold meat you wave no more through open doors marriage

Bridges 03:25
Bridges burn Roof beams bend The sun will rise The dream will end I've long strived for good But things go bad A good man can lose Everything he has Your bridges will burn Your roof beams bend Darkness learns The son ascends
4.
A lonely man with a hammer The blood drips on his white shoes A man on the TV sells skin cream In a voice that sounds like the blues The stove has been left on for hours The whole world smells like burned eggs A woman on TV wins a toaster He walks though he cannot feel his legs Now I could say that I missed how your eyes shined like metal in the night but I needed you to be a reflection and you would not get out of the light So now I will walk to the water and drink till I sink in the sand It's been so long since I've felt my own weight I needed you to understand A lonely man with a hammer The blood has dried on his white shoes Sits down in front of the TV to a voice that sounds like the blues The omelette's been burning for hours The smoke makes the screen hard to see A woman on TV with a toaster smiling just for me
5.
For all the places I had yet to go For everyone that I had yet to know The heaviness of all I haven't done greets me daily with the rising sun For cracks that slowly creep across the wall from door to door with no pattern at all You helped me more than I could ever know The cold that rises as the wrong things grow
6.
That Door 03:46
Wait, one more I watch from that door Plain white floors I've been here before Take it all The lights in the hall Stay a while The lines in your smile Wait, one more There's nothing so poor Plain white floors I watch from that door
7.
The darkness on the stairs The heaviness of air The doors that open slow The words you almost know Holy ball of lead You paint the whole world red The anthills scattered round Connect beneath the ground The dark spots in your eyes The lonely sound of flies The books that cannot teach The hands that cannot reach They lay you in a line Beneath the teeth of time Through sorrow you may wake The rain falls on the lake I hope you get some rest
8.
Easy Enough 03:39
Cut a man in half and what comes out is clear Beneath the blood and buried in the marrow Held my breath inside my wedding dress Smile into their eyes I've made a mess It's easy enough Pull a man apart and what you see is plain I fell asleep beside the rising water Waves come rising up into the boat All your words are catching in your throat Its easy enough
