Graveyard Shift
03:51

Remember when we were playing music on the corner
We would make enough for food and that was it
Then I started doing dishes to get the money I was missing
So I could find a place and cover rent
You know times were hard, but I'd work a little harder
Trying to bridge those troubled waters in my mind
I had the graveyard shift, all those songs that came from it
I never showed them, I just kept them all inside
Lay it down
All the hurt, the dirt, the turmoil
All the riches and the spoils, I give thanks
All the songs I've sung
And the ones still yet to come
All the tears I've had to shed to find my strength
Back when times were hard, I was sleeping on the pavement
Couldn't find my way and all the comfort I had known was gone
I had the graveyard shift, and all those songs that came from it
I should have sang, but I was barely hanging on.
I should have sang, but I was barely hanging on.

Muddy Water

I've been wading around in these dark and muddy waters
It's been twenty-one days, don't know if I'll make another
Got twenty-one reasons I should walk away
But I've got one that's good enough to make me think I'll stay
So I will
I've been struggling deep and it's making me sink quicker
So what if I run, you know I'll just keep getting sicker
I'll never get out if I don't leave today
But I'd be plagued by sin that'd follow me to the grave
To the grave, to the grave
But I don't wanna think about that right now
Just wanna put it off until it all comes crashing down
I'm so afraid of what's inside
I would risk it all just so that I can hide
I've been wading around in these dark and muddy waters
It's been twenty-one days, don't know if I'll make another
Got twenty-one reasons I should walk away,
But I got one that's good enough to make me think I'll stay
So I will

Fake Happy

Oh, my sweetheart can't do nothing for me
A new car can't do nothing for me
A new start can't do nothing for me now
I tried to run and I tried to hide
But there ain't no escaping from what's inside
This wide world ain't got nothin' for me now
I've been low down, I've been lifted high
Even had a couple dollars from time to time
But the more I see, the more I find
There's nothin' that could ever make me feel alright
So I'll go on faking happy and carefree
Hell, I'll go faking anything if it could set me free
Cause deep down I'm drowning beneath a veil of apathy
With a smile and a laugh
I've got the power to fool anybody
Anybody but me
Oh, my sweetheart can't do nothing for me
A new car can't do nothing for me
A new start can't do nothing for me now

Last Night
03:39
|

I was thinking about you last night
From Broad Street out to the country
We were sitting by the firelight
Swapping stories of our lives
I was sneaking peeks at the moon
Wondering if you're thinking of me too
I was thinking about you last night
I've been doing just fine on my own
Finally getting comfortable being alone
I think I've figured out which way I should go
I realized we were never two halves
I was always whole
Hold me close, I don't wanna go home
Cause I haven't felt this for a while
Please let me rest my head upon your breast
And whisper to me everything will be alright

Fare Thee Well
04:26

Oh, I couldn't love you in the morning
Cause I hadn't woken up
But I rose and had my coffee
I tried to love you in the midday sun
I tried to love you in the midday sun
I searched the place all over
And you were nowhere to be found
My love has lost its home in you
So I guess I must be bound
Oh, I guess I must be bound
You and I were too damn good to last
Sharing strength in our sorrows
We were haunted by our pasts
You and I, we had a perfect plan
But the burning passion turned to fire
And we succumbed just as quick as we began
I've done some self-reflection
And I've done some work, my dear
I've let go my attachments
But I'm holding on to fear
Oh, I'm holding on to fear
So fare thee well to anger
Fare thee well, my love
I couldn't love you in the sunlight
Cause my shadows hung above
My shadows hung above
I've run away all my life
I've given up when I had the chance to grow
The old shall fall
The new shall rise
And out of darkness
Will come new hope

Chop Wood, Carry Water
02:47
|
|||

I don't need much, I just want a love
We can build a little cabin in the woods while we're young
It's a goddamn shame that this world is so lost
It's a hundred thousand dollars just to live on a bus
And the food we eat's from a whole different world
The water's getting muddied by the ridge
There's grocery stores where there ought to be fields
We could grow everything that we need instead
We could chop wood and carry water
Build a new world all our own
I'd feel less alone by myself in a forest
than a room full of people on their phones
So give us not this day our daily bread
Let us grow the wheat and cut it down ourselves
Because we don't need no handouts from above
or to sit around and wait for someone else
We could chop wood and carry water
Build a new world all our own
Because I'd feel less alone by myself in the forest
than a room full of people on their phones
I don't need much, I just want a love
We can build a little cabin in the woods while we're young

Beneath The Turning Wheel
by Holy Locust
supported by 6 fans who also own “Noble Hobo”
Holy Locust goes dark. This album has a desperate feel yet the urge to push ahead is always there. They somewhat push away from the folk feel to a more traditional classical music feel at times. I'm looking forward to seeing them live again, and after that I'm betting I'll come to conclude this is the best release by Holy Locust to date.
