1.	i come from a cruel country 03:34	lyrics	buy track
I come from a cruel country where you beg for your life with your last breath I come from a cruel country where the rich give you crumbs for a paycheck I come from a cruel country where your neighbors are strangers forever I come from a cruel country where you can never be good, just better come with me to the forgotten country where the cattails bloom and the catbirds sing in your ear just out of sight come with me to the beloved country where the bonfire clicks and the bass drum moves you to tears deep in the night the stars keep on echoing the same song they’ve been playing for a long time please don’t call me America call me virgin, virgin island, ready to wake call me tempest, bottled genie, ready to break strike me down and one hundred will take my place
2.	there is so much love here 04:16	lyrics	buy track
I thought it was an empty hole a place where only demons go but in the darkness there’s a glow there is so much love here I thought the world was like a doe innocent and quick to grow until her blood colored the snow there is so much love here my city weeps so hard it burns the cycle takes and then it turns our faces search, our voices yearn there is so much love here you won’t believe it with your eyes never amused, always surprised you’ll know my country by its lies there is so much love here there is so much love it breaks my heart is made of great escapes a spiral staircase to the snakes breeding in the basement but a serpent’s tongue is soft to touch it pricks your skin and wakes you up you never knew you gave a fuck until you felt your face wet I am just one in the crowd don’t say too much don’t talk too loud But I’m here to make my mama proud there is so much love here you know my name but not my soul follows me everywhere I go can’t say it’s high can’t say it’s low But there is so much love here there is so much love and hate tangled in this heart of late not a sinner or a saint just a force of nature but there’s a storm comin all the same it knows the ransom and the name knows the hero and the game is just another double feature
3.	you don't want to meet the author 04:04	lyrics	buy track
you climb aboard and hoist the sails adventure waits on lands unknown ready for whatever may come because you know you’re not alone you’ve got a solid guide by your side a friend for all time true as the tide pages so earmarked they’re in danger of tattering hold it close so you don’t hear them laughing another day another spark keep one eye always vigilant for sharks but when they come you’ll feel alright cuz you’ve been prepping for the fight you’ve got a solid guide by your side a friend for all time true as the tide pages so earmarked they’re in danger of ripping hold it close so you can’t tell you’re sinking tales of ancient glories, maps of treasures buried deep keep you up all night, or fill your dreams when you do sleep gliding ever closer, cross the water, towards the coffers but there’s just one thing: you don’t want to meet the author the book’s one thing, but you don’t want to meet the author you like the book, but you don’t want to meet the author yeah you love the book, but you don’t want to meet the author you love the story, but you don’t want to meet the teller yeah you love the song, but you don’t want to meet the singer you love the map, but you don’t want to meet the maker yeah you love the book but you don’t want to meet the author
