Wild Wave of Life 01:20
lyrics
buy track
the heat of the land is bristling on my skin and the breeze carries the echoes of the salvo gazing sidelong at the rubble, i struggle to form any structure of memory my dragging boot loses momentum and for a moment im engulfed in stillness until the pulsing beams rip through the valley so i stumble back onto the wild wave of life a scorched desert can't warm a frozen heart but the next step forward might be the spark Write to WARNING: ONLY FRAC SHAFERLY

Knucklebones 03:11
lyrics

Loose shirt With the buttons undone Hat brim As a shield from the sun Boots high Keep the snakes at bay Beard so long He liked it that way Doesn’t show his face Knucklebones Kept riding while the world turned gray Knucklebones Keeps the peace by the tip of his blade Far from the worst But don’t play ball with ol’ knucklebones Crooked eyes And a face that burns You better hope That it’s not your turn No mercy If you don’t pay up He’ll come find ya And it won’t be fun For you Knucklebones Kept riding while the world turned gray Knucklebones Keeps the peace by the tip of his blade Far from the worst But don’t play ball with ol’ knucklebones

I Don't Got Much Time 03:27
lyrics
buy track
Oh no I don’t believe She’s right there in front of me From LA to New York Everywhere in between Dug myself down just looking Swept the whole desert clean Just to see you For a minute At the right moment Red dusk; In twilight Before the moon hits its spot The hourglass is all hot w/ time And I don’t got much time You slept outside all night Because that’s what you wanted You were all cold in the morning sun I swore I couldn’t feel you breathing But you sat up and stared Gave me quite a scare Looked right thru my eyes And thru my soul I could feel you Twist and pull At the right moment Red mist; and sunrise Before the sun hits its spot The hourglass is all cold w/ time And I don’t got much time

Scavengers 02:39
lyrics
buy track
Oh here they come, from far away Broken and split in two Fair ol scavengers, playing along The dance that was long overdue You could hear it from a far Across the barren desert scape The land we all hesitate to call our own All colored in iron blue They have come to take it all away There’s nothing much we can do Pack up your bags and saddle up the horse Before they come for you Oh here they come, from far away Tilted and angry too Fair ol scavengers, playing along The dance that was long overdue They have come to take it all away There’s nothing much we can do Pack up your bags and saddle up the horse Before they come for you Before they come for you Before they come for you

After Our War 03:10
lyrics
buy track
(a concrete wall i cannot face without your warm and sweet embrace) It used to be so green By the railroad in the summer The leaves turned orange in the fall I learned it to be, I’d love if you’d seen it at all City skylines fall down too Grayer than you’d ever think The sand between our fingertips Wasn’t always down beneath (the hardest part of the siren's blow is knowing you and i together can't go) The sky was never red or crimson The deepest blues filled the air Before everything fell; before everything changed Before the war tore apart my favorite everything (the world i now must leave behind will only have traces of you forever and ever on my mind so though your hand slips past the dividing line I will never forget the last moments you were mine) City skylines fall down too Grayer than you’d ever think The sand between our fingertips Wasn’t always down beneath

Rust Never Sleeps 02:28
lyrics
buy track
my darling sleeps under burnt out stars wrapped up tight in rusted junked up cars nothing dares move when all forces collide but for a blissful moment all living things sigh not much happens now but just you wait we're all bound to action it's the only true fate it could be right now or for many more years but for now life's song will sing as it sears sometimes it's sweet sometimes it's sour sometimes the hand ticks past the midnight hour we live in a palace streched on acres of cinders but if this is our world then we'll live on unhindered

Blessed Are The Wicked 03:58
lyrics
buy track
Blessed are the wicked Who travel on this road The patron saints of solace; The broken and the bold Once bright and full of pride Now, one and all, the same There are no friends among them And no one knows your name Never mind what you've heard "Home" is just a word Therein lies a vastness where nothing yearns to grow Silence was a virtue once But now it's all you know And the desert holds no promise In the absence of the day Just dreams of what you came for And all you've lost along the way Never mind what you've heard "Home" is just a word For what we once held so dear Now lost in ash on the frontier Never mind what you've heard "Home" is just a word For what we once held so dear Now lost in ash on the frontier
