Pacify 03:20
lyrics

The hills have finally turned to red Clearin' a path that's in your head Never sure where it's gonna lead But know it's not me you need to appease Pacify Pacify Broken compositions and poor transitions Construe ambiguous definitions Never sure where it's gonna lead But know it's not me you need to appease Pacify Pacify Toxic blood rests under your skin But it doesn't say a thing about where ya been Never sure where it's gonna lead But know it's not me you need to appease Pacify Pacify

Singin', singin' in her sleep Yeah she's singin', singin' in her sleep But now she's got in way too deep Yes she's got in way too deep Cause everybody knows That she sings In her sleep Pillow, what do ya say? Let's sneak on out of here I'm so tired, I could stay But I'd rather see my dear Singin', singin' in her sleep Yeah she's singin', singin' in her sleep But now she's got in way too deep Yes she's got in way too deep Cause everybody knows That she sings In her sleep Ooooo Seein' you singing, in your sleep Is somethin' I'm going to keep For myself, to stash away Before my memory decays Singin', singin' in her sleep Yeah she's singin', singin' in her sleep But now she's got in way too deep Yes she's got in way too deep Cause everybody knows That she sings In her sleep Ooooo Let's run away to your dreams I will meet you by the stream Brush your hair, from your face Don't let your words be a waste Singin', singin' in her sleep Yeah she's singin', singin' in her sleep But now she's got in way too deep Yes she's got in way too deep Cause everybody knows That she sings In her sleep Ooooo

Let Me Rest (The River Song) 04:07
lyrics
buy track
I went down to the Ohio River Where I found my poor mother layin' She looked up at me and said Won't you please leave me here and let me rest? You could see she was scared to meet her maker And that walk was long down to the river bed So why not meet the devil instead? And just be done with the worry and the pain Well I didn't believe, but she sure did And no matter that she was ready to go Whatever it'd take just to end this walk She hushed my mouth and asked me not to talk I went down to the Ohio River Where I found my poor mother layin' She looked up at me and said Won't you please leave me here and let me rest? She took my hand and asked me to go Hated me to see her at her low Instead I walked her down to the river I held her hand, helped her in, and let her go I went down to the Ohio River Where I found my poor mother layin' She looked up at me and said Won't you please leave me here and let me rest?

When I Get There 03:34
lyrics

Mossy trails Beneath my feet I'll find harbor In this heath Not sure where I'm going But I'll find you when I get there Rotten apples Line these aisles The moisture is heavy And rocks trip me up No matter how far I walk I can't shake your thoughts The silence surrounds Yet I all I hear are screams Not sure where I'm going But I'll find you when I get there I tried to find Kentucky But all that I found Were some empty bottles And an old grizzly bear He was a wanderer Much like me He told me to run home There is nothing to find here Not sure where I'm going But I'll find you when I get there
