These days I go outside looking for the same thing
That I haven’t found in months
The slow abiding peace beside my mind
Telling me what’s done is done
Dead man, won’t you glow a little brighter
’Til we find a better way to win,
Dead man, won’t you kill it with your lighter
Got to find a better way to get in
Nothing for it, gonna fill that hole
With anything I find
What doesn’t kill me, well, I put aside
’Til I find something that will
Dead man, won’t you glow a little brighter
’Til we find a better way to win,
Dead man, won’t you kill it with your lighter
Got to find a better way to get in
Dead man, won’t you hang it off your ladder
When the light is fading, falling so thin,
Dead man, won’t you carry me to heaven,
I’ve so far to fall and yet to begin
This pretty little drug is a heavy load
Never was strong enough to leave this place alone
This pretty little drug is a heavy load
Wish I could lay it down
Dead man, won’t you glow a little brighter
(This pretty little drug is a heavy load)
’Til we find a better way to win
(Never was strong enough to leave this place alone)
Dead man, won’t you kill it with your lighter
(This pretty little is a heavy load)
Got to find a better way to get in
(Wish I could lay it down)
Dead man won’t you hang it off your ladder
(This pretty little drug is a heavy load)
When the light is fading, falling so thin
(Never was strong enough to leave this place alone)
Dead man, won’t you carry me to heaven
(This pretty little drug is a heavy load)
I’ve so far to fall and yet to begin
(Wish I could lay it down)

Bad wolf, bad wolf
Keep away from the
She don’t use your front door
And you wake, she’s on the floor
Waiting for you
‘Cause she’s a
Bad wolf, bad wolf
Keep away from the
Still you refuse to reject her poison
You just thumb your nose and ingest more
And right on cue your tears will flow
But they don’t wash you like you hoped
‘Cause she’s a
Bad wolf, bad wolf,
Keep away from the

The chemicals all make the same solution
The chemicals all make the same solution
A wound that will not heal
A weakness by design
I sing myself a song
Where everything is fine
The alibis wear thin, structures sag with weight
The alibis wear thin, structures sag with weight
Trace these shapes and hues
Fill my eyes with light
Space and movement may this make
Lest I die before I wake
Emptiness is peace
But emptiness is pain
Emptiness is peace
but emptiness is pain
Trace these shapes and hues
Fill my eyes with light
Space and movement may this make
Lest I die before I
Trace these shapes and hues
Fill my eyes with light
Space and movement may this make
Lest I die before I wake

Come Back Tomorrow

I’ve been counting down from seventeen,
Hope is not a joyful thing
Or real as fear,
My value on my falling curve, another trend to be observed
Don’t leave me here, don’t leave…
Three days out from the last place you’d ever expect to find her,
She appears,
The beacon calling you back to the home
growing fatter on your fears
I’ve been counting down from seventeen,
Hope is not a joyful thing
Or real as fear,
My value on my falling curve, another trend to be observed
Don’t leave me here, don’t leave…
A tuneful sadness fills you ears with the things you always knew
But never wanted to
A ticking mind counting down to something unknown
Where nothing comes true
Long the way and hard, that leads from Hell to light
Like figures fading into mist
Bearing off the weight of sorrows
You see the end beyond all hope, and know
They’ll be coming back tomorrow
Long the way, and hard, that leads from Hell to light
Long the way, and hard, that leads from Hell to light
Long the way, and hard, that leads from Hell to light

Don't Settle Down

Found me on my own,
bedroom slippers on, yeah, my bedroom slippers on
Called me by my name,
never showed his face, but he said he knew my game
And the strangest life I’ve known
Is the one where I’m alone, alone with all of you
And it took me oh so long
To feel that I was home and now it’s time to go
So don’t settle down, don’t settle down
So I went on the run
With a pillow and a gun intent on a bit of fun
Much to my surprise
I saw the face of my demise and I noticed his disguise
He said "I’m the devil you don’t know
‘Cause the one you had in tow was too obvious and so old
So I traded him for me
Unbeknownst I see, why, you thought you had control?"
So don’t settle down, don’t settle down without me
So now I find that I’m stuck on this ride
Wishing I’d listened to you all along
So now I find that I’m stuck on this ride
Wishing I’d listened to you
So now I find that I’m stuck on this ride
Wishing I’d listened to you all along
So now I find that I’m stuck on this ride
Wishing I’d listened to you, you said
“Don’t settle down, don’t settle down without me.”

Medicine Ship Little Rock, Arkansas
Medicine Ship is Nicholas Presley and Barton Willis. The songs that now appear before your eyes are all the aural
equivalent of a local small batch whiskey—rich, layered, scrappy, and without the deadening, uniform gloss of the production line. They come at you straight from our hands and minds neat, no chaser.
It's good for you, too.
