The Day My Father Died
released Feb 03, 2023
Howling (feat. Lucius)
I've never felt like this before
Woke up trembling
I feel electric underwater
Lay me down low
Lay me down low
I'm coming down slow
So lay me down low
We're made a fire in the purest way
When you explode it's my holiday
I took too much it was my mistake
But I can be blamed
I'm insatiable
Keep me howling, baby
I'll be your beast, I'll be your dog
Keep me howling, baby
And I'll keep begging you for more
Lay me down low
Lay me down low
I'm coming down slow
So lay me down low
Come lay me down in a shallow grave
Unholy dove, don't let me fly away
Tie both my hands, will you wash my face?
I want to stay insatiable
Insatiable
I lay me down at the feet of your beauty
Power my spirit awaken within me
My blood and my body will sing out your praises
Save me, save me, save me now
I lay me down at the feet of your beauty
Power my spirit awaken within me
My blood and my body will sing out your praises
Save me, save me, save me now
I lay me down at the feet of your beauty
Power my spirit awaken within me
My blood and my body will sing out your praises
Save me, save me, save me
I was made clean when you took my shame
I was made pure in that holy place
You set me free on my final day
But I will remain insatiable

Believer
Good love makes you hesitate
Rolling slow, go so slow
Melting like a long last drink
I wouldn't change one thing
Touch me like a lover
Speak to me like a friend
Teach me like my father taught me how to live again
Hold me like no other
Embrace my brokenness
Don't preach to me, a believer in a choir
You're that hallelujah sweetness on my lips
Touch me like a lover (Touch me, touch me)
Touch me like a lover (Touch me, touch me)
Touch me like a lover (Touch me, touch me)
Touch me like a lover (Touch me, touch me)
All my life, all my life
I've been chasing shiny things
Blind my face, blind my face
Save it from this suffering
Oh, can you blame my sin?
Touch me like a lover
Speak to me like a friend
Teach me like my father taught me how to live again
Hold me like no other
Embrace my brokenness
Don't preach to me, a believer in a choir
You're that hallelujah sweetness on my lips
Touch me like a lover (Touch me, touch me)
Touch me like a lover (Touch me, touch me)
Touch me like a lover (Touch me, touch me)
Touch me like a lover (Touch me, touch me)
Touch me like a lover (Touch me, touch me)
Touch me like a lover (Touch me, touch me)
Touch me like a lover (Touch me, touch me)
Touch me like a lover (Touch me, touch me, touch me)

Laughing at the Storm
There ain't nothing, like a feeling you can't shake
She don't wanna know what that feels like
And I don't wanna change her mind
Sweet renegade, will you ever stay in one place?
Some lonely day, will you run back into my arms?
In the night I feel you breathe
If you ever come back, come back to me
Sweet renegade, if you ever stay in one place, I'll be there
She's so crazy, laughing at the storm
Will she make it out, we may never know
I will leave the light on, I will build a fire
One that she can see for miles and miles
Sweet renegade, will you ever stay in one place?
Some lonely day, will you run back into my arms?
In the night I feel you breathe
If you ever come back, come back to me
Sweet renegade, if you ever stay in one place, I'll be there
No more lonely days
I would give the world for your face
Oh
No more sleepless nights
You'll return to me in your time
Oh
Sweet renegade, will you ever stay in one place?
Some lonely day, will you run back into my arms?

Sweet Home
That reminds me of your face
'Til I heard it call to me
Like a phone call from a friend
Set in silence like a prayer
If these walls could breathe the air
They would sing a song of love
And how it sometimes has to end
Welcome home
Your last and only one
Never more to roam
Have no fear
If you don't see the sun
I will hold you close
Welcome home
You are home
No nothing tastes like sweet
Sweet home
Letters written in the den
Folded news and coffee cans
Simple things that I recall
Not forgotten easily
Dog is passed out on the lawn
He will miss me when I'm gone
He won't speak what he has seen
Like the walls surrounding me
Welcome home
Your last and only one
Never more to roam
Have no fear
If you don't see the sun
I will hold you close
Welcome home
You are home
No nothing tastes like sweet
Sweet home
Welcome home
Your last and only one

Lost Myself (feat. Guy Garvey)
Like a brace on a broken knee
Give me time and give me patience
That will be enough for me
Breaking through the clouds
Feels impossible now, o-o-oh
Breaking through the clouds
Feels impossible now, o-o-oh
I think I lost myself
Yeah, I lost myself
I wish I was truly free
Like a bird with no rent to pay
No phone and no last name
Yeah, who I'm meant to be
Breaking through the clouds
Feels impossible now, o-o-oh
Breaking through the clouds
Feels impossible now, o-o-oh
I think I lost myself
Yeah I lost myself
Breaking through the clouds
Feels impossible now, o-o-oh
Breaking through the clouds
Feels impossible now, o-o-oh
But I found myself
Walking home

The Day My Father Died
Heaven's bells on the day he closed his eyes, down in a hole
But I can hear him singing oh
I want to show you that life comes in circles, I want to show you life
Drink all your whiskey and spend all your money
And let no one steal your shine
The day my father died
I was scared on the day my mother cried
She held me close
She lost a man who could ease her troubled mind
She lost it all
And I remember singing
I want to show you that life comes in circles, I want to show you life
Your heart is heavy, your load I will carry
So put your sweet hand in mine
The day my father died
The day my father died
"Put em' down, put em' down" my lover sighed, she loves me so
Letting go doesn't mean he'll ever leave your side
I want to show you that life comes in circles, I wanna show you life
Care for your sister, your son and daughter
Your mother will heal in time
No self-destruction will fill up your heart
And the void that he left behind
The day my father died
The day my father died
The day my father died
I was born on the day my father died
The day my father died
I was born

Feel Your Pain
Pitch black and carried far away
Weathered and washed-out
And you're afraid
Heaven won't call down
Cursed with the blood that you can't save
Damn if it ain't hard now
To see your face
I, I feel your pain
I, I feel your pain
Bracing for the fallout
Looking for a way to calculate
Hoping any day now
We'll meet halfway
I know it's not for me to fix it
I know it's not for me to say
But you don't have to stay down or look away
I, I feel your pain
I, I feel your pain
Don't say a word, I know it hurts, you don't need to explain
I, I feel your pain
I, I feel your pain
I, I feel your pain
Don't say a word, I know it hurts, you don't need to explain

Tragic Magic
You been like a father since you came around
Half-baked boy sweating in the summer sun hits you like a shiver
Tragic magic
Boy what drugs you on?
I'm on that tragic magic, high all summer long
Lift each hand, let me hear you sing along
Welcome to the family you were waiting on
Warm or dead, I was bought and sold before
I was out of high school
Tragic magic
Boy what drugs you on?
I'm on that tragic magic, high all summer long
Let him in, no one else, hate the sin, save yourself
Let him in, no one else, hate the sin, love yourself

And I may not come down

Chariot
I was a spark, I was daylight
I see the world for what it was, only for what it was
Stuck in the past, she is daylight
I didn't know how to get back home, I didn't know
In a soft electric light, in a soft electric light
I dance like a ghost, no soul, all spirit
I'm afraid I'm not okay
I'm afraid of my last day, what if it hurt?
I put my heart all in it
I didn't know how to get back home
But I'm still running
I didn't know
Wait up for me, chariot, chariot come carry me
Hold on, hold on to me, chariot, chariot come carry me
Carry me home
I'm still running
I'm still running
Carry me home
I'm still running
I'm still running
In a soft electric light, I see the world for what it was
I'm afraid I'm not okay, and I'm afraid of my last day
I didn't know how to get back home
I didn't know

Marion
Who understands? You understand
Filling up my cart again
When we collided
I stumble but I won't chase her
A shot in the dark no tracer
I swallow my pride
She wears her heart like a fiery sun
I wasn't ready for Marion
Cleaning up my dirty mind
But not today, we've got time
Kick it into overdrive
I fell in deeper
I smile like a child so clever
She won't even know what hit her
A snake in the grass
I lose my head as I come undone
I wasn't ready for Marion
Never met a girl so nice
I hope you find yours
'Cause I got mine
Ain't no other better time
Go out and meet her
And straighten your tie when you face her
A shot to the heart no chaser
Let her burn in your chest
Oh what a beautiful day my son
I hope you're ready 'cause here she comes
I wasn't ready for Marion

Better Part of Me (feat. Sara Watkins)
I sing a sad, lonely song, but it's what you like
Let's build a home and buy fancy clothes
God knows it's how we survive
I might be some years ahead, but let's start tonight
Speak truth to me
Darling and I'll be true
Speak honestly
Honestly, I can't help falling for you
The better part of me
I've worn a path with my hands on the map of your skin
You kiss my face in the morning, and I'm born again
From the fire and the sea to the birds and the bees
I've seen where life begins
Delicate like paper kites held by the wind
Speak truth to me
Darling and I'll be true
Speak honestly
Honestly, I can't help falling for you
Every day, I'll be brand new
Thank God for you, the better part of me
There will be days we're apart, and I'll long for you
The nights will grow heavy and dark in solitude
But when we collide, we explode in the sky, two stars
We'll block out the view
Today I love you simply because I do
Speak truth to me
Darling and I'll be true
Speak honestly
Honestly, I can't help falling for you
Every day, I'll be brand new
Thank God for you, the better part of me

Baby Don't Lie
Been so busy rushing for gold
I never wanted anything more than everything
You dress classic, before your time
You love tragic little storylines
I never wanted anything more than everything
If we're being honest I've been sick about it
Did you go and change your mind?
Baby, don't lie, baby

Lady Luck is always creeping in
But she don't gamble when she's gambling
I never wanted anything more than everything

You and I (feat. Charlotte Lawrence)
I wanna feel something
I drink to feel something
I sleep and feel nothing
Maybe that’s where you come in
Maybe that’s where you and I begin
I want some good loving
I want some good loving
Want it to mean something
Set this old heart buzzing
Maybe that’s where you come in
Maybe that’s where you and I begin
No I don’t need a heavenly home
A place beyond the clouds with everyone we’ve ever known
It don’t matter where we go
If you were born to run, I was made to run with you
I need some church darlin
I need some church darlin
I am a false prophet
I must confess darlin
Maybe that’s where you come in
Maybe that’s where you and I begin
Our love’s a great mountain
Our love’s a great mountain
Climbed up and fell down it
We lived to laugh about it
Baby you and I survived
Maybe god thanks you that I’m alive
No I don’t need a heavenly home
A place beyond the clouds with everyone we’ve ever known
It don’t matter where we go
If you were born to run, I was made to run with you

I want some good loving
Take me to church darlin
Our love’s a great mountain

Caving In
Lean on me now I see two of you in both my eyes
Blur out my edges
Punch-drunk and love-stoned
Need something to hold me upright
Let me know
Won't you let me know?
Steady, my darling, don't worry I've got you
And you got me most of the time
Mezcal and lust bleach the message I'm sending
They taste like you when you were all mine
Would you let me know?
Won't you let me know?
It's so hard to believe what you won't let me see
My head's caving in
Oh
It's so hard to believe what you won't let me see
Won't you let me know?
Won't you let me know?
Oh it's so hard to believe what you won't let me see
My head's caving in
My head's caving in
L
Fall out the exitLean on me now I see two of you in both my eyes
Blur out my edges
Punch-drunk and love-stoned
Need something to hold me upright
Let me know
Won't you let me know?
Steady, my darling, don't worry I've got you
And you got me most of the time
Mezcal and lust bleach the message I'm sending
They taste like you when you were all mine
Would you let me know?
Won't you let me know?
It's so hard to believe what you won't let me see
My head's caving in
Oh
It's so hard to believe what you won't let me see
Won't you let me know?
Won't you let me know?
Oh it's so hard to believe what you won't let me see
My head's caving in
My head's caving in
Corduroy
When the wine runs out and all we have is time
Out of all the broken tongues you hear tonight
I hope I say it right
Blue corduroy '89
Oh I was a pleasant boy, soft and mild
When a foreign place don't make you feel alive
And a patient heart forgets how to be kind
It's a burden that will carry through your life
And God knows that ain't right
Only God knows if he's right
Fields black as coal spring to life
And I have dreams of a bitter war in a peaceful time
When you realize it's not your fight
And you can't avoid a chance to reconcile
Lay 'em down, the stones, the stones will never cry
No stone will ever cry
No stone will ever cry
When the poison fruit tastes sweeter than you like
It's a fertile place to propagate a lie
While you're waiting for the nausea to subside
Let's drink to what is right
Let's share a drink tonight
Spend it in wartime and save up in peace
Love will be all that you need
Spend it in wartime and save up in peace
Love will be all that you need
Spend it in wartime and save up in peace
Love will be all that you need
