"Going Nowhere" I'm going nowhere, I'm going nowhere I'm going somewhere that the stars never shine I'm going nowhere I've wasted whole years, I've wasted whole years I've wasted time that was never even mine I'll waste your whole year I'm always thirsty, I'm always thirsty There's never either beer or water when I'm here I'm always thirsty I'm headed upstate, I'm headed upstate I'm headed up I-65, I'm going north I'm headed upstate I'm going nowhere, I'm going nowhere I'm going somewhere that the stars never shine I'm going nowhere.

"Don't Leave Me Alone" I want you to hurt me, I want it to ache I want you to notice To notice and to enjoy how little it takes I don't wanna be serious, I don't wanna be strong I want you to tell me when you know that I'm right That you actually think that I'm wrong I know it will be painful, I know you think it should be too And you know it's nothing more or less than I deserve And you know that I agree with you So that's how it happens, so this is how it ends And to think that when we started this not so long ago I thought we might actually get to be friends So now I wanna hurt you, I wanna watch you bleed And I want you to suffer and feel just like I did The day you said you were going to leave I want you to suffer, and feel just like I did The day you said you were going to leave.

"Never Coming Home (Song for the Guilty)" The trains roll by my porch down here where nothing can live And I've been smoking too much 'cause I am no exception You knew that already, I think If you want salvation then you ought to go see a priest Because forgiveness from those that we hurt in this world Never was guaranteed I'm coming home, it's late again, I'm high as I've ever been You're sitting up, you're in our bed, crying for a ghost again No room can be as dark or as empty as ours is But I'm not home, 'cause I'm not here, and I've never been I wonder how many friends roll past my house in the night In boxcars they sleep, their hearts stashed in their backpacks They'll make California alright A promise from me is just a lie I ain't told yet So I'm ready to die but I'm not willing to watch You watch me die here in our bed I'm lying down, I've been nodding out since I don't know when The lights are on, you're standing up and screaming at a ghost again Darling, I'm home; no, I ain't left this house of ours in days 'Cause I'm not here, I never am, and I just can't stay My darling, I'm never coming back from where I'm going My darling, I'm never coming home My darling, I'm never coming back from where I'm going My darling, I'm never coming home, Never coming home again.

"Tell Me a Secret" I shouldn't notice and I shouldn't care I wouldn't show it, but I couldn't dare To leave you standing in the kitchen alone Waiting with your heart half-racing And staring at your phone So tell, tell me a secret and don't tell me a lie Promise me you'll always be there and I'll promise not to cry So fight, fight, fight your instincts, or boy, you're sure to die So just feel, feel, feel this feeling, and be glad you're alive I wouldn't say so if I didn't think That you're happier and healthier and hornier And more well-rounded when I've had a drink You love me and you care and that Should really be enough But when I get home I get sick, girl And man, it's fucking rough So tell, tell me a secret and don't tell me a lie Promise me you'll always be there and I'll promise not to cry So fight, fight, fight your instincts, or girl, you're sure to die So just feel, feel, feel this feeling, and be glad you're alive Just be glad you're alive, just be glad you're alive Just be glad you're alive, just be glad you're alive.

"Montevallo, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down" Montevallo, I love you but you're bringing me down The world is all bending and breaking from me I shared my drugs with folks I didn't trust And with people who shouldn't trust me Montevallo, I love you but you're bringing me down I hoped more for you that I could ever be Sitting alone in your bedroom there's no sound There's nothing anymore that's calling for me Montevallo, I love you but you're bringing me down Your girlfriend, your God, and your guns couldn't keep us alive And she hurt me, and I hurt, but only for a little while Then my friends, they found me a way to survive Montevallo, I love you but you're bringing me down I hope I can forget you easily And I know that it's hard, and I know it takes time But I hope that you can forget about me.
