War On

There's a war on, between you & me. Not sure why we're fighting, but we're armed to the teeth.
No white flags, cause it's too far along. No one wants to be here, or the first one gone.
Can't tell who's won, cause we've both been keeping score, two versions of the truth, no way to win a war.
We don't know, how to live in peace, neither one wants the fight to cease. We'll never see the dawn, our love is too far gone, there's a war on.
Refused to stay down, on the ground. Couldn't run for cover, I didn't duck my head. There's a war on, and it's easy to see. There's a war on, between you and me.
We don't know, how to live in peace, neither one wants the fight to cease. We'll never see the dawn, our love is too far gone, there's a war on.

The Ship

Once a mighty vessel that's finally run aground
He's Lost his sense of meaning and no one is around
His best friend was a captain and they served their country.
They made important voyages far across the sea
Chorus
Everyone needs something
To show for what they've done
Everyone need something
after its said and done
He was built to go to battle and carry men to war.
But Time took hold and rusted out his core.
He let them add paint and cover up his wounds.
Never really thinking of his impending doom.
Chorus
the captain came to say goodbye.
With tears in my eyes I smiled
He raised his head and looked at me and I knew the reason why
He spoke of one last mission where the ocean meets The sky
Chorus
Old ship on the water pulled into the shore
Got nowhere to go to not needed anymore

Today is the day that
we celebrate your birthday
Light some candles
and think about what might have been.
With a cardboard standee
that we'll put up in effigy
plastic flowers sitting there
as if they'll be seen.
You didn't come back an amputee
but I lost a part of me
a scar that time won't erase
but I'll be there
when the last stone's in place
said I'll be there
when the last stone's in place.
Chorus:
Gone too long
Gone too long
Gone too long
and we go on.
You weren't lost in a battle
not lost in a fight
you came home
wrapped up in stars & stripes.
I consulted a psychic
for the first and the last time
a lady palm reader who told me
about cleansing my soul
Standing in the window
staring at the crowd below
see the look on her face
but she'll be there
when the last stone's in place
said she'll be there
when the last stone's in place.
Repeat Chorus

Relapse

This summer was hot and I was down on my luck
Had two flat tires on my ol’ pickup truck
Wife met my girlfriend down at the IGA
I got to thinkin’ bout’ back in the day.
Chorus:
That’s when I fell in a relapse
Fell flat on my face
Things went dizzy and
All over the place
I try to act sober out during the day
But I tripped on the train tracks
And gave it away
I was doing good for several long years,
Keeping a job And drowning those fears
some friends came out And we went out on the town
I had three shots of whiskey to wash it all down
<chorus>
Some time has passed, I’ve atoned for my sin,
I gave up on cheap women
And three dollar gin
I had a role model, to help me along
Then I moved to Colorado and bought me a bong….
<chorus>

Pocahontas, AR

Two hours south into Arkansas
there's a place we can go, to slip by the law
we were young and foolish, but you agreed
to give it all up and come away with me
give it all up and come away with me.
We made a lot of noise in Yellville
changed a flat in horseshoe bend
before the night was upon us,
we drove into Pocahontas
I said I never want this day to end,
I never want this night to end.
Chorus:
Our love was good in the Natural State
had to drive south, we couldn't wait
guess our whirlwind wedding
wasn't love at first sight
thought we'd be together for the rest of our lives
thought we'd be together for the rest of our lives.
9am we were first in line
no waiting, no witness gonna make you mine
$40 wedding bands will suit us well
only gold-plated and they look like hell
only gold-plated and they look like hell.
Two days later, we got back in the car
drove till we ran out of gas
barely passed New Madrid, when we fell out of love
should've known then we were going to fast
should have known then we were moving too fast
Repeat Chorus

This release is the one that drew my attention to Quizboi - its production is so weird it’s good. Like a psychedelic nightmare when you visit the thanksgiving dinner and everything on the radio sounds exactly like this, but you dont wake up in he end
