Abandon ship the crew is going down shake all the hands with somber frowns avoid last apologies there is no time to think spining into undiscoverable sink Get your sea legs we are going down slowly spinning into the sound Women and children first the sea has to tends an unquenchable thirst avoid last apologies there is no time to think spinning into a discoverable sink

They say that animal's need their space inside we're cannibals the human race cut off our nose to spite our face Let's split some hairs let's see what we're about the lion's share a pound of flesh an eye for an eye It won't be soon before too long you find your shell hallow and drawn Climb the mountains what do you see looking on its vacancies mystified by what you've found life on earth has let you down Pull up a chair force feed your appetite reach down your throat the time is right It's fight or flight we struggle tooth and nail sew up the bites call out the wolves cause we're all lambs It won't be soon before too long you find your shell hallow and drawn Climb the mountains what do you see looking on its vacancies mystified by what you've found life on earth has let you down

I get up whoa I get up so you can sit back down I'll stand up when you can't stand the sound I stand whoa I stand up so you can sit back down I'll get up whoa I'll get up when you can't stand the sound The bruises on your knees the dirt beneath your feet I'll worship it and not speak unless spoken to You're pretty I want to touch your shiny face and feel love Please take your hands off my f*cking face The bruises on your knees the dirt beneath your feet I'll worship it and not speak unless spoken to Not speak unless I'm spoken Not speak unless I'm spoken Not speak unless I'm spoken too

A man told me Son, to be thyself and only good things will come oh Then he showed me how to beg and steal and cheat Console me, cause I get what I take and break what I love Stab me in the front Don't stab me in the back Stab me in the front Use a dull blade (x2) Use a dull blade Fortune called me I'm the next in line to take all the good things that will come Let me show you how to beg and steal and cheat What would you do? Cause I get what take and I break what I love Stab me in the front Don't stab me in the back Stab me in the front Use a dull blade (x2) Use a dull blade

The other night she came to me and held her fruit for me to see and on her face there was a smile as I bit into her apple She found me just when I was weak and she offered herself to me a recipe for disaster, my mid filled with the devil's laughter I'll give you one chance to tempt me So make it good Light me on fire and take me the way you should Cause in her eyes there was a fire that kindled such a great desire impossible to resist her my mind filled with the devils laugher She found me just when I was weak and she offered herself to me a recipe for disaster, my mid filled with the devil's laughter I'll give you one chance to tempt me So make it good Light me on fire and take me the way you should I'm going to hold you tight and let you follow I want to live tonight, not die tomorrow Run fingers through your hair, Ill take you with me I'll kiss you here and there, around your body Cause in her eyes there was a fire that kindled such a great desire impossible to resist her my mind filled with the devils laugher I'll give you one chance to tempt me So make it good Light me on fire and take me the way you should (x4)

Book of Matches 03:58
lyrics
Eyes they burn and itch and sting soak the rags in gasoline all are dirty, you will see Choke, the smoke will make you whole and hold it Book of matches made divine from ashes all your precious time you waited for a chance to shine the strangest things you find can make you whole and pure Know thyself before you know any else make it burn Know thyself before you know any else make it burn Light the match it will be the last make it burn feel the dirt beneath your knees beg me please

I am a sandbag to the flood fairweather friends will drown in blood this will be the way to self destruct something really big is on the cusp Are you someone else Open up your mouth and make a sound heavy f***ing armor will bring you down not collected I am keen If we keep a secret we keep it clean You are someone else Feel that sick and learn to fake it Devil in the truth don't know what to do tow the line our ships our vacant Devil in the truth Who knows right from wrong I saw it all along Loosen up babe and shake it off I am the last thing you should cross Tie your hands open your eyes happy endings bloody suprise Now you are someone else I am really good at what I do I am the beast, we are few take it back home and tell your friends dirty little truths and bitter ends Feel that sick and learn to fake it Devil in the truth don't know what to do tow the line our ships our vacant Devil in the truth Who knows right from wrong I saw it all along

Burn it all Down 03:42
lyrics

You always move to fast take time and slow it all down connect the dots with glass and let it all just flow now burn bridges as you pass rain down upon us brothers show no love for your past confuse your kin for others You wanna burn it all down? Sift through the ashes in time to learn Burn your brides to the ground Burn baby burn It's a beautiful sound (x2) You always move to fast chained hearts are left for others still smoking from the blast kiss on the cheek for lovers Love line of coke is your past breath it in till you smother this chapter is the last all bets are off You wanna burn it all down? Sift through the ashes in time to learn Burn your brides to the ground Burn baby burn It's a beautiful sound (x2)

So Sweet 03:52
lyrics
You got a stormy heart and a silent tongue to match The touch of that velvet glove won't cover up the scratch You keep the receipts, cause I'll return you back I'll be at your feet when your words turn black You always want more, that's the way it goes Secrets in store so no one knows You keep the receipts, cause I'll return you back I'll be at your feet when your words turn black Now a change of key you will see what I will be, in a few shortcoming years Twelve distant memories haunt your every thought of me blinding purpose and all fears Woah, its so nice now that she can tell no lies sun in her face now there is no disgrace Woah, its so nice now that she can tell no lies and its so sweet

Oak is Keeping Austin

Oak is Keeping is the outcome of mixing heavy, guttural guitars with astral harmonies and brash lyrical content, about everything from love to the human condition. This mixture produces a rock and roll sound that has been compared to the likes of Toadies, Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age.
We rock faces, play tasty jams, make absolutely hilarious jokes and play the rocks for you!! ... more
