Black Holes and Overdoses - The Suitcase Junket

There's a picture frame hangin' at the end of the hall Pile of dust on the floor where my fist met the drywall That's my MO, leavin' something broke everywhere I go Holes There's a rusty old truck door sittin' in a field That I filled full of buckshot every time I got Mad at something over nothing didn't matter at all Holes In my life, down in my bones From my heart, to my soul There's a lonely space on the big brass bed Where we first made love And she laid her head on my shoulder Before I told her it was over Holes There's a million conversations with my old man 'Bout who he was, and who I am That I never had, I just wouldn't listen I just kept digging myself down in 'em holes in my life Down in my bones From my heart, to my soul Holes Well I woke up today, put the shovel down Stepped out of my haze, took a look around Saw a ray of light shining through the clouds So I climbed out And I let it shine Down in my bones From my heart, right through my soul Through all my holes Through all these holes

I'm on the highway, I'm walking 'cross America Sweat stain in my blue suede shoes Race wars, Star Wars, planet wars, mind wars Tryna find ways to get to you Always on the precipice, candy wish So what would you prescribe? 'Cause every moment's something sacred, yeah It's such a wild ride Higher than I've ever been Higher than I've ever been Higher Bullet holes All you leave behind Now I know I see you cut and dried I used to wish in symphonies Higher than I've ever been I used to wish in symphonies Higher than I've ever been Left in the rain to the sound of the sirens Jet planes with the battle blues Lifeblood, bad blood, my blood, your blood The state of danger in this human zoo Just caught in the wheels of machinery Fragments to construct a core, yeah Wish I could sleep more easily Are you the one I've been waiting for? Higher than I've ever been Higher than I've ever been Higher Bullet holes All you leave behind Now I know I see you cut and dried I used to wish in symphonies Higher than I've ever been I used to wish, I used to wish in symphonies Higher than I've ever been They closed our path through deserted streets Downtown ghosts shuffling in their feet I will never stop fighting for you Never stop fighting Bullet holes All you leave behind Now I know I see you cut and dried Bullet holes I thought I was inside I used to wish, I used to wish in symphonies Higher than I've ever been

They grew up there on the river, down on the riverside. Muskrat roast for Sunday dinner, everybody's satisfied. Those two kids never could be parted, running round side by side. Young love, so open hearted, and a river so deep and wide. Floating on a raft in the thick of summer, fishing with a toe-tied line. Raised by the river raised by the running weather of water and time. A flash-flood came with a hammer of thunder out of a clear blue sky. Took away one and left the other, down by the riverside. But why so cruel a heartbreak? And why such a twisted fate? One called back to their maker, one must stay. Now there's a poor lost soul abandoned down on the riverside, Sitting there just watching the water, never be satisfied. Waiting for the floods of summer, praying to be taken away, Back into the arms of the other, longing for yesterday. But why so cruel a heartbreak? And why such a twisted fate? One called back to their maker, one must stay. But why so cruel a heartbreak? And why such a twisted fate? One called back to their maker, one must stay.
