Got Me Low
02:25
|
|||
|
Verse:
You got me low
Down at the bottom
Of another
Empty bottle
You got me home
To my old destructive life
Chorus:
I know you're thinking
That I am alright
But I'm not even close
To being okay
Verse:
I'm pretty done
Finding myself
Down on the floor
Trying to hold on
But I can't let go
Of my abusive desperation
Chorus:
And I know that I promised
That I'll be alright
But you did too
And that was a lie
Verse:
You got me low
Down on the bottom
Of another
Empty bottle
You got me home
To my old destructive life
Chorus:
And I know that you're thinking
That I am alright
But I'm not even close

Robbed By My Bender
02:52
|
|||
|
Verse:
Woke up this morning
Just lost my soul
Thought I cleared it all out
But I lost it all
Mama taught me better
Than to throw it away
Still can't remember
What I did yesterday
My head is torn
I reek of bad decisions
Got whiskey breath
And static on the television
My vision is blurry
My hands are shakin'
Got bruises on my knees
And they're probably not from praying
Chorus:
Got robbed by my bender
My head's still in pain
I can't remember what
I did yesterday
Got robbed by my bender
My head's still in pain
My stomach has a temper
I wish would go away
Verse:
Burned the pub to the ground
With a Bulleit in the hand
My sorrow has been drown
So kill me where I stand
Let me die happy
Before I do it again
Went out a crusader
Came home drenched in sin
The cheaper they dress
The greater my love
Jesus won't grand me access
To heavens above
I'm a renegade
I live my life reckless
I'll do it all again
But my card got rejected
Chorus:
I got robbed by my bender
My head's still in pain
I can't remember what
I did yesterday
Got robbed by my bender
My head's still in pain
My stomach has a temper
I wish would go away
I got robbed by my bender
My head's still in pain
I can't remember what
I did yesterday
Got robbed by my bender
My head's still in pain
My stomach has a temper
I wish would go away
Got robbed by my bender
Got robbed by my bender
My head's still in pain
My stomach has a temper
I wish would go away
Fuck.

I Broke The Heavens
03:16
|
|||
|
Verse:
I got 53 problems
But only 39 solutions
I got all kinds of systems
To get to no conclusions
You better cross your heart
'Cause mine is torned apart
And might feel offended
But I just broke the heavens
Chorus:
I got 53 problems
But only 39 solutions
And I just broke the heavens
Verse:
I got 53 bills to pay
But I don't have that kind of money
It took 39 tries to take
A bullet in my six-barrel
I don't wanna go to work tomorrow
Though it's only a Tuesday
And I don't care what you say
'Cause I broke the heavens
Chorus:
I got 53 problems
But only 39 solutions
And I just broke the heavens

Livin' For your Lovin'
02:52
|
|||
|
Verse:
Your face is like a star
Blinding my eyes
Now I can't see clear no more
And where you live I go
And when you leave I'll follow
'Cause I can't think clear no more
And come on take my hand
I know a promised land
But you won't hold on no more
So here I walk alone
While singing sad songs
On a lost and broken road
Here we go, baby
Chorus:
Only livin' for your lovin'
Only livin' for your lovin'
Only livin' for your lovin'
Only livin' for your lovin'
Verse:
Now I have a dark soul
I'm burned out coal
And I can't do nothing but drink
Now I have a sad soul
Not even in control
And I got no self-esteem
Why is my life like this
When it really seems
That I can't keep the earth
Bound to my feet
When I look in the mirror and I think to myself
Whatever happened
And where did she went?
Chorus:
Only livin' for your lovin'
Only livin' for your lovin'
Only livin' for your lovin'
Only livin' for your lovin'

Aloe
03:21
|
|||
|
Verse:
Sometimes I disappear at the end of the night
Flyin' up to the stratosphere or goin' down like the tide
I creep around corners and I creep on buttons
Lookin' for a flower in between the cobbles
Sometimes I just vanish when you turn around
And you'll ask every person have you seen this kid in town
While I creep around corners while I'm following buttons
Lookin' for a flower in between the cobbles
Chorus:
I'm looking for Aloe
To heal my wounds
I'm looking for Aloe
To write my tunes
I'm looking for Aloe
To heal my wounds
I'm looking for Aloe
To write my tunes
Verse:
Sometimes I disappear at the end of the night
Flyin' up to the stratosphere or goin' down like the tide
But I now my cure and I know what I need
I know what to ask for my Aloe so sweet
Chorus:
I'm looking for Aloe
To heal my wounds
I'm looking for Aloe
To write my tunes
I'm looking for Aloe
To heal my wounds
I'm looking for Aloe
To write my tunes

I Don't Know
04:38
|
|||
|
Verse:
I don't really like to feel alive
'Cause I feel alone all the time
And I don't mind to be mesmerized
And let you inside
My empty mind
And I can't smile when I'm at home
I can't do nothing but loose control
And I'm still feeling all alone
While I'm fucking around
With my friends in town
And there's a lot of girls who'll play with me
But I kinda need a lot of privacy
And I can walk
And I can talk
And I can make 'em fall in love
With another guy who is not me
Somebody give me some sympathy
'Cause I need it and want it but can't ask for more
'Cause I don't think I need it
I don't know
Chorus:
I am living my lies
My little lullaby
I don't know
Verse:
I'm tryin' to survive when it's hard to live
With my back against the wall and a rope around my neck
And I hear my screams inside my dreams
While I can take my life to the extreme
But it won't help my restless soul
And my combination with burning alcohol
And I won't die but I won't lie
When I might say what I can't deny
I don't know
Chorus:
I am living my lies
My little lullaby
I don't know
Verse:
Don't think you know who I am
Don't tell my about brighter future plans
'Cause you don't know
That I don't know
What is actually going on
It all felt apart on a single day
Your bad decisions took it all away
It's not your fault
And not my fault
I'll just keep on saying my call
I don't know
Chorus:
I am living my lies
My little lullaby
I don't know

Look
02:12
|
|||
|
Verse:
Look in the river
What do you see
I see a dead man and he's looking at me
How did he end up down there and somebody told
That it was me who put him down below
Look in the mirror
How do you feel
I feel like somebody took a shot at me
I'm so afraid and I don't why
I feel so goddamn hypnotized
Look in the coffin
Who do you see
I see myself - How can this be
I think I died in an accident
A hundred pills
And a bottle of gin

Break Me Hard
02:25
|
|||
|
Verse:
Come down to the river side and show me your love
I know you've been dreamin' of me since we met on the bus
Your green eyes are telling me that you will break my heart
But as long as you'll stay on top of me I'll have what I want
Chorus:
Come on woman break my heart
Your dirty love is all I want
Go break me hard
Go break me hard
Verse:
Get down on your knees and try to show me your love
You I've been dreamin' of this since we first got in touch
Your lips are making me believe that my heart now has a home
I like what your eyes are telling when you're looking up
Chorus:
Come on woman break my heart
Your dirty love is all I want
Go break me hard
Go break me hard
Go break me hard
Bridge:
Went down on my knees for a while to show you my love
Don't you wanna die in my arms before I'll be gone
I want you so bad but girl you know that I'm a restless soul
I better believe in you now before you tell me to go
Chorus:
Come on woman break my heart
Your dirty love is all I want
Go break me hard
Go break me hard
Go break me hard

Dirty Ground
04:06
|
|||
|
Verse:
Down on the dirty ground
You will find my soul
Burried in the desert sand
But I won't be bold
You can step on my face if you really want to
And I will bite your feet off
Spit your toes at you
And I will follow your blood stains in the sand
To the town to get back what I had
I’ve never been the angry guy that you know
And I’ve never been the baddest boy in the black book
But cheating girls and shitty friends
Has all made me mad
I’m not the guy
Who’ll take his revenge
But after I got to know you - things has changed
You drove me so God damn fucking insane
Chorus:
Down on the dirty ground
Ready for one more round
You cannot bring me down
Even though I fight alone
Verse:
And I will crawl my way
While the sun will burn my back
And it will hurt like all the shit you’ve said
Though all the times I grabbed you
Everytime your world it crashed
And now you are standing on my fucking head
But I’ll crawl all the way
Though it feels like standing still
But I ain’t gonna stop before
I get to Nashville
Chorus:
Down on the dirty ground
Ready for one more round
You cannot bring me down
Even though I fight alone
Verse:
And if you look me in the eyes
You will see all the hate
That you didn’t thought could ever exist
What you did I would never do
To my worst enemy
But you have just become
Have you ever thought of it
Chorus:
Down on the dirty ground
Ready for one more round
You cannot bring me down
Even though I fight alone

Blue Rose Down
03:35
|
|||
|
Verse:
I can't find peace
I can't find anything
Can't find nothing to eat
'Cause my fridge is empty
Not even kinda alive
Don't care if I won't survive
Apparently I can't sleep
When you appear in my dreams
And while you're letting it go
My hate will never fucking stop
I'll be scratching my hands
Just to see some blood
I can tell you one thing
I have a thousand thoughts
As long as you'll live
I'll try dying somehow
Chorus:
But it's just somehow
I'm a blue rose down
I'll forever rage alone
Just follow the bottles on my Boulevard of Booze
I'm a blue rose down
Verse:
It's outta my hands
But it's all in my head
Things doesn't really matter
I can't even think
But I think I fell in love
With life in the dark
My body's so broke
Until the sun goes down
Been living in the fast lane
And it won't seem to stop
Before I reach my grave
I just had enough
Been a sensitive guy
But became a wrecking ball
No one will escape
I will break you all
Chorus:
But it's just somehow
I'm a blue rose down
I'll forever rage alone
Just follow the bottles on my Boulevard of Booze
I'm a blue rose down
Bridge:
And you wonder if I'm mad
What's going on inside your head
What would the answer possibly be
You turned your back
On a bleeding man
While still looking back
I got up on my knees
Dust in my mouth - can't hardly breath
And my tears ain't telling shit
It's just water running down my cheeks
It doesn't fucking matter
I'm still so angry
Chorus:
But it's just somehow
I'm a blue rose down
I'll forever rage alone
Just follow the bottles on my Boulevard of Booze
I'm a blue rose down

As a young man growing up in a dead end town his youth was chaos, frustration and anguish, drowned out by endless drinking. He spent a decade building walls around the people and experiences that fuelled the chaos. These walls are ready to come crashing h into a fragmented sonic landscape called Blue Rose Down. ... more

Glad to see The Builders and the Butchers are still making music. This album does not disappoint. I love the evolution of their sound, and the lyrics are as dark and captivating as they usually are. Favorite track: The River
