BLemonTea I have already said so much about this man's work, if I say anymore it will just be me fanboying and probably obnoxious. Listen to his work and if you make it to Eros and haven't thrown your money at the screen, shame on you! Favorite track: Eros.

Wanderlust 04:01
wipe the breath off of my window as I watch my baby leave I will always be her love and she will always be my queen I wish I could be pious I wish I could be good but I got the hunger and it's in my blood God cursed the ground that day I heard Him in the garden calling my name I hid myself in the brush never did shake that wanderlust a hot flash of lightning and a cool summer breeze awake like a nightmare but sleep like a dream running like the devil running like the wind got to find some holy water to wash my sin when I go out I'm gonna bring this house down when I leave this town I'm gonna burn it to the ground I'll build me a ship and I'll sail the seven seas until another sweet thing makes me weak at the knees otra senorita o mi corazon I'll sweep her off her feet and take her home when I go out I'm gonna bring this house down when I leave this town I'm gonna bury it in the ground

I set my house on fire Lord so you would smell it and look down I kept my cellar door open wide so you would come and pull me out I long to look upon your face I long to see that starry crown I want to hear you thunder Lord I want to tremble at the sound in the name of God all you demons be gone I set myself on fire Lord so you would smell it and look down I kept my cellar door open wide so you would come and sort it out I long to look upon your face I long to walk on holy ground I want to hear you thunder Lord I want to tremble at the sound in the name of God all you demons be gone what good is a fishing boat when the floods come and it don't float what good is an empty bottle if you've got pills to swallow what good is a young man's life if the world keeps spinning when he dies in the name of God all you demons be gone oh Jesus take my soul I don't wanna wait no more I got this dryness in my throat I got this aching in my bones

Eros 03:36
oh my lady oh my love there is sorrow in my blood all the ashes and the dust have haunted me since I was young and I will lose if I fall for you climb upon my weary back I'll hold you up with tired hands God will grant me what I lack after all I'm just a man and I will lose if I fall for you wait here while I pick myself up and take another drag of this heavy stuff it's sweeter to the taste than the grapevine and harder on a man than the moonshine oh my lady my love by my side with God above how long shall we breathe this drug evermore oh my love and I will lose if I fall for you

Light Blues 02:42
I don't want to kill myself today woke up this morning feeling okay I've been better but I can't complain 'cause I don't want to kill myself today everybody's moving their body to the beat I kick off my shoes and I tap my feet a little off rhythm but that's okay 'cause I don't want to kill myself today I saw a green-eyed lass with long black hair she looks so lovely standing there I might just smile if she looks my way 'cause I don't want to kill myself today go on and tell that piano man to play that song over and over until the break of dawn maybe tomorrow I'll still feel this way 'cause I don't want to kill myself today

Alleluia 05:09
where I've been nobody knows trouble follows wherever I go the calluses across my hands are unlike any other man's although the wolves never sleep somewhere in the dark I heard David sing alleluia great is the Lord days have come and nights have passed no relief here have I had drifting off from place to place even my own don't know my face although the wolves never sleep David kept his eyes to the heavens and sang alleluia great is the Lord woe is me I cannot hide from the shadow of the night in the darkness in the bitter cold onto the Lord I now must hold although the wolves never sleep David roamed the hills of the desert and sang alleluia great is the Lord

Famine 05:26
the wind was howling when I opened my eyes swinging my fists I was looking for a fight I was afraid of a dark and heavy voice telling me to get off of my face and rejoice but I've been out in the wilderness again I heard that a man must die if he wants to live oh holy Father I come to you a weary sinner won't you relieve me of all these wonderful things I know something that the devil can't do he cannot stop a man who's got nothing to lose I will run until my lungs collapse until my heart gives or I break my back and in the valley of the shadow of death I'll thirst for no water that the earth can give oh holy Father I come to you a weary sinner won't you relieve me of all these wonderful things it's over and I'm so tired it kills me to lose it's over and I'm so damn tired it kills me to lose free your mind from the affairs of heaven they say put the shovel in the dirt and make your own way but nothing is for certain in the cold cold west but a thirst for the riches and the swiftest death and I'm no Solomon but I can see where all of this vanity is taking me oh holy Father I come to you a weary sinner won't you relieve me of everything I love I will praise you til the end and I will brace myself for famine
