Buried Bones 02:56
lyrics

Dig up your wretched name Dig up your tired soul Dig up your wasted mind Dig up your buried bones Dig up your ghostly grave Dig up all that remains Dig up that six-foot hole Dig up your buried bones Unwanted Abandoned Been wasted Abused Unwanted anymore Abandoned underground Been wasted, wasted away Abused just like the hounds Hollow feet meet on hollow ground Wretched face in a wretched town Getting drained now takes its toll Put back your buried bones Put back your wretched name Put back your tired soul Put back your wasted mind Put back your buried bones Put back your ghostly grave Put back all that remains Put it back in that six-foot hole Put back your buried bones Lyrics by Sailor Alexander © Ⓟ FFA Music ASCAP 2010

Shipwrecked 02:27
lyrics
buy track
Our souls are definitely sinking Black ocean swallowed us up whole Our bodies made for drowning Leaves only ghosts left onboard This ship is shipwrecked, man overboard Swim through the bodies to make it ashore This shit is definitely sinking All men and women overboard Take all your knives and put them in the water Grab all your sheep and keep them afloat This ship is shipwrecked, man overboard Swim through the bodies to make it ashore 10,000 feet below, we're in deep This ship is shipwrecked, man overboard Swim through the bodies to make it ashore This ship is shipwrecked, man overboard A ship with no sailors won't float anymore Lyrics by Sailor Alexander © Ⓟ FFA Music ASCAP 2010

Ripped your face off again Put a needle inside your head Then I pushed it deep inside Yellow mustard custard pie Your fist beats down the door I wanna know who's coming for more Tucked you between my thighs Yellow mustard custard pie Dig a hole if you want to stay If you want to stay then dig a hole Piston machine Lyrics by Sailor Alexander © Ⓟ FFA Music ASCAP 2010

Drain You 02:58
lyrics

Do me a favor Put blood back in this body 'Cause I sucked it out last night Ate flesh, drank blood all night Until I do it again you're mine Your blood is mine I'll sink my teeth right in your neck and drain you Drain you 'til you die So do me a favor and I'll spare you 'Cause you see that I didn't mean to Suck the blood from the one I love Oh I sucked the blood from the one I love I'll sink my teeth right in your neck and drain you Drain you 'til you die Somebody stop me I'm getting too thirsty Sucked the blood from the one I love Oh I'll suck the blood from the one I love I'll sink my teeth right in your neck and drain you Drain you make you mine Lyrics by Sailor Alexander © Ⓟ FFA Music ASCAP 2010

Lost Desert Souls 03:36
lyrics
buy track
We walked a thousand miles of dirty dunes Pulled out sledgehammers and banged on stone Black birds kept circling above We found some buried bones and shot 'em down Nothing but desert at our feet Nothing but sand, skulls and dunes Dry winds blows through cracks in our face Blistering from the sun It's only cold when we sleep We never see the moon We're lost desert souls on our knees Tired and deserted we waded through Pulling teeth and hair out from our arms Bring back the shadows now We'll be dead as the desert soon Only snakes and birds left here Even the vultures fly with fear Our souls been buried by the sun Sun boiling our blood Sands washed away all of our sins Sands washed away all of our skin Blinded by sand Been buried by the sun Desert birds hollowed out your head In the desert all the water's red Lyrics by Sailor Alexander © Ⓟ FFA Music ASCAP 2010

Don't make no mistake These words are my power now I'm only doing what I'm told to do Not giving up I'm just not fighting you There's only pressure here I'm not fighting but I sure will win in the end Don't make no mistake These words are my power now I'm only doing what I'm told to do Not giving up I'm just not fighting you There's only pressure here Dream the same dream again There's only me next to you Don't make no mistake you fucking shit, you piece of shit I'm only doing what I'm born to do Not giving up I'm just not fighting you There's only me next to you Lyrics by Sailor Alexander © Ⓟ FFA Music ASCAP 2010

Soaring high over the city Searching for your decay Our wings are crooked Our heads are shaved Our shadows circle On your decay We are the vultures We're flying your way We'll hunt you down Leave your bones on display No time for begging Or pleading mercy We are the vultures And you are our prey Give us your punch-meat Better give it all We're buying bones now Selling your soul We eat the dying We'll eat the dead Out in the desert We'll hollow out your head We are the vultures And you are our prey We'll hunt you down Leave your bones on display No time for begging Or pleading mercy We eat the dying The dead and decaying We are the vultures You are our prey Eat your decay Los buitres We are the vultures Lyrics by Sailor Alexander © Ⓟ FFA Music ASCAP 2010

The Ghost 02:21
lyrics

I was walking around When I saw your ghost Your face keeps haunting me Ever since I watched it choke Hanging from a wire Underneath a sheet Underneath are your two legs Can you see what frightening means Your ghost's a haunt Your ghost's a ghoul Go haunt a prison guard And his fucking children too Haunted by a hollow soul Turns your skin white and old Visions in your mind This ghost won't let you go I was walking around When I saw your ghost Your soul keeps haunting me Ever since I watched it choke Hanging from a wire Underneath a sheet Underneath are your two legs Can you see what frightening means Your ghost's a haunt Your ghost's a ghoul Go haunt a prison guard And his fucking children too The ghost that haunts this land Lyrics by Sailor Alexander © Ⓟ FFA Music ASCAP 2010

No hands, no feet, no face, no eyes No teeth, no tongue, no legs, no thighs No neck, no hair, no arms, no head No mouth, no ears Been blown to shreds No ankles, no knees, no fingers, no toes No nails, no lips, no dick, no tits No heart, no lungs, no stomach, no guts No brain, no soul Been blown to shreds Watch your step Set off that mine You'll trip that switch And get blown to bits Been blown to shreds Lyrics by Sailor Alexander © Ⓟ FFA Music ASCAP 2010

Went to the edge today All the streets in disarray Sea burning like the sun My sassafras is a loaded gun All the while you just run in circles All the while my shadow moves closer Proving you wrong, keep holding on I march on with my sassafras songs Pulling back that arrow trigger Shooting down vultures for dinner Living life here on this edge I'm Sassafras and I hunt the dead All the while you just run in circles All the while my shadow moves closer Proving you wrong, keep holding on I march on with my sassafras songs You choose the land I sail the sea You choose to drown You choose the fool Hell will help you fail You stay the fool You choose to sleep I'm in your dreams You're losing sleep You choose to burn I lit the flame You'll fucking burn March on!
