Silencer 03:09
Gaslight a fire Under the wire Told me you were innocent Said you were belligerent Blame her reaction To made up attraction You never had a consequence Good men are just a myth I guess you’re not who I thought you were You’re like a gun with a silencer Everyone’s got their problems, but Your good is lost in the middle of nowhere Crossed over the line and you started a warfare You got a weapon on your body big man The stud son never learns his lessons You bet your trigger never made a sound, huh? Never could recognize your own disasters Think every woman’s made just to get you laid But said you overcame the way that Daddy raised ya With doors open wide, you’re like the nicest guy You pull it shut, keep a lie going til you die I guess you’re not who I thought you were You’re like a gun with a silencer Everyone’s got their problems, but Your good is lost in the middle of nowhere Crossed over the line and you started a warfare Run Run Run Run Faster than you can, faster than you can It’ll make you a man Run Run Run Run Faster than you can, faster than you can It’ll make you a man Run Run Run Run Faster than you can, faster than you can It’ll make you a man Run Run Run Run Faster than you can, faster than you can It’ll make you a man I guess you’re not who I thought you were You’re like a gun with a silencer Everyone’s got their problems But I’m paralyzed cus I’m living a nightmare Got to have your way but you never could fight fair Good men are just a myth

Walked out of work I wanna burn it down Tripped on the street Then I got suckered out Of all my money Now I’m back to square one Drove past the bar And saw my ex She looks so happy With a man instead I wrecked my car Got stuck behind a train Why can’t I handle Anything All this hoping, well I’m putting it to rest All this hoping, well I’m putting it to rest All this hoping, well I’m putting it to rest Today, today has chewed me up And spit me out Spit me out Think to myself it’s just my dead end luck Will I be stuck for the next few months All the hours seem to be the same Oh am I fated to waste every day All this hoping, well I’m putting it to rest All this hoping, well I’m putting it to rest All this hoping, well I’m putting it to rest Today, today has wrecked me One day I’ll be all together, making friends Not stuck in the chatter But I’m down and out Sadness is inherent Where do I go from here It’s just my dead end luck All this hoping, well I’m putting it to rest All this hoping, well I’m putting it to rest All this hoping, well I’m putting it to rest Today has ripped me up And torn me down And chewed me up And spit me out Spit me out Spit me out

Every last person In the world is a maid Cleaning up the mess From 1950’s decay America the great Where men decide your fate Break out of the cage You’re in the devil’s parade Walk in my shoes Walk in my shoes Game you don’t choose And I don’t wanna play anymore In my shoes Walk in my shoes See what you lose And if you wanna play anymore What does it affect If I go down on a girl Protect your mother’s feelings While she’s wearing her pearls Take it to the state legislation could save Cus everyone should live By your particular ways I never once belonged to you Rather die than give you my salute I won’t salute you Walk in my shoes Walk in my shoes Game you don’t choose I don’t wanna play anymore In my shoes Walk in my shoes See what you lose And if you wanna play anymore Unless you’re dealt all the highest cards You’re always half a world away I got the kind that could tear me up But the chips have fallen where they may Walk in my shoes Walk in my shoes Game you don’t choose And I don’t wanna play anymore In my shoes Walk in my shoes See what you lose And if you wanna play anymore Walk in my shoes Walk in my shoes Game you don’t choose And I don’t wanna play anymore In my shoes Walk in my shoes See what you lose And if you wanna play anymore

Predator 03:37
I thought I knew who you were Like I know a cat wears its fur But something lurks underneath The primal need to sink your teeth I guess you had this all bottled up inside The animal came out its cage every once in a while Every woman at the bar was game to chase Another shot, another sedative to blur your face You can’t explain yourself You’re so sorry It’s all your fault That nothing ever feels alright I hope you bare the burden I carry My world is inside out You’ve got nowhere to hide I think you had it coming out eventually You’ll take it to your grave, you just had too much to drink Now you’re losing everything you ever had Go ‘head and blame it on the woman and your fucked up dad Twist the knife Lie to your wife Easy way out is suicide See it all burn down in flames She can always take the blame Predator might Come out at night Another time you roll the dice What was it worth Scum of the earth Hope you’re petrified You can’t explain yourself You’re so sorry It’s all your fault That nothing ever feels alright I hope you bear the burden I carry My world is inside out You’ve got nowhere to hide Well don’t you miss your football days Quarterback of the band I might say How many were there before You called a play to penetrate offense and score Know you objectified a person once again And now she can’t even relax in her own skin See you’re cut from every picture on my wall You can’t explain yourself You’re so sorry It’s all your fault That nothing ever feels alright I hope you bear the burden I carry My world is inside out You’ve got nowhere You’v got nowhere to hide You can’t explain yourself You’re so sorry It’s all your fault That nothing ever feels alright I hope you bear the burden I carry My world is upside down It’s time to say goodbye

Road to Ruin 03:53
One road to ruin One throat to choke Demon did me in Band-Aid on a bullet hole Poured my bottle out Tried to fool the girl Knew the bomb would drop Plan my funeral Something’s wrong Where do I belong Nothin stopped me then Nothin stops me now Cut my skull in half Bloody coma sounds Love the chemical When brain ignites Nothing hurts as much As when I’m 25 Something’s wrong Where do I belong Where do I You know I hate when you cry When I start losing my mind Something’s wrong Where do I belong Wow I really really wanted out of the pendulum Wow I really wanted out of the pendulum Wow I really wanted out of the pendulum Wow I really wanted out of the pendulum

High Crime 05:41
I’ve poised myself too much to know How lost I am I’ll go and wrestle with my soul for miles Something of intrigue in your eyes I know I’d like to turn your dial Oh you’re my high crime, you know I’ve not found how low I’ll go for you I’ve got a secret I can’t keep For much too long Think I could crawl out of my skin To have you I need to look you in the eye Before I go blind My sheets would have you through the night And so would I You’re my high crime, you know I don’t mind how low I’ll go for you Oh, you’re my high crime, you know I don’t mind how low I’ll go for you

Got me falling right through your fingers I’m unraveling like a string Thought you’d be holding me for a lifetime But you’ve broken your wedding ring I’m not intriguing enough to satisfy Your ever-wondering lifeless eyes I could change my hair, my dress don’t know why I want you Oh at rock bottom nothing really matters If you don’t want me, watch my life shatter Oh at rock bottom I would climb a high wire If you’d see me just for a while I can make you love me Feel my fire I can make you love me Feel my fire I can make you love me Feel my fire I can make you love me Feel my fire You devastated me on your birthday I can’t move forward but I can’t stay No remedy for a retrograde I’m forever falling backwards Oh at rock bottom nothing really matters If you don’t want me, watch my life shatter Oh at rock bottom I would climb a high wire If you’d see me just for a while I can make you love me Feel my fire I can make you love me Feel my fire I can make you love me Feel my fire I can make you love me Feel my fire Fool me more than once You could do it again Broken everything so I could never pretend I can’t be lover And I can’t be your friend Built a life without you I can do it again Fool me more than once You could do it again Broken everything so I could never pretend I can’t be lover And I can’t be your friend Built a life without you I can do it again I won’t make you love me Feel my fire I won’t make you love me Feel my fire I won’t make you love me Feel my fire I won’t make you love me Feel my fire

Out here in Illinois Chicago won’t stop burning See people paranoid Their freedom’s overturning Of all the places I’ve been In this modern wasteland I wanna live in your mind I’m dying to, I’m dying too I wanna go where the world Can’t fail me and it can’t fail you Down here in Alabama They keep starting fires Hopeless in panorama Brainwashing the choir Of all the places I’ve been In this modern wasteland I wanna live in your mind I’m dying to, I’m dying too I wanna go where the world Can’t fail me and it Can’t fail you Well nothing’s ever easy anymore Another uphill battle at my door I hope they beam me up and let me steer Cus I don’t belong here I wanna live in your mind I’m dying to, I’m dying too I wanna go where the world Can’t fail me and It can’t fail you Oh, can’t fail you

I remember when I didn’t need any kind of hit All I cared about was building blocks And throwing fits Mud stains on my jeans Mama wouldn’t let me drink caffeine I had nothing to worry about Circumstances change Grew up way too fast And now I’m lost All I think about is how much This is gonna cost Guess I went to school Became an alcoholic on my route I’ve got something to worry about I wanna leave my body Help me disappear Take me all the way up Out the atmosphere Would it really matter If I wasn’t here Just for a second of relief, aye Top of the morning All I do is look for any kind of high Pick me up only to figure out I’m never satisfied Life is but a death,I don’t know what’s coming out my mouth I have so much to worry about I wanna leave my body Help me disappear Take me all the way up Out the atmosphere Would it really matter If I wasn’t here Just for a second of relief, aye Just for a second of relief, aye Just for a second of relief, aye I have so much to worry about I have so much to worry about I have so much to worry about I have so much to worry a - I wanna leave my body Help me disappear Take me all the way up Out the atmosphere Would it really matter If I wasn’t here Just for a second of relief, aye I wanna leave my body Help me disappear Take me all the way up Out the atmosphere Would it really matter If I wasn’t here Just for a second of relief, aye Just for a second of relief, aye Just for a second of relief, aye

Honey, I could never kiss you But I swear It’s what I’m after It’s what I’m after I come alive when you’re around It’s summer love Under the rafters Under the rafters If I had known you when we were young I’d have left you roses I wonder if you come over Could I keep my composure Can I read your mind, lover Can I read your mind, lover Can I read your mind, lover Can I read your mind Give me a sign Funny, I don’t wanna miss you like I do You’re my hereafter You’re my hereafter I’m outta money But I know I’m not a fool Is that enough to Be my master I wanna be between your sheets What color are your pillows Nothing slows this heart rate down It’s getting faster It’s getting faster Can I read your mind, lover Can I read your mind, lover Can I read your mind, lover Can I read your mind Give me a sign Can I read your mind, lover Can I read your mind, lover Can I read your mind, lover Can I read your mind lover

about

The new 10-track album is entirely produced by Emily herself, adding an even more personal element to the record. “Producing The Blowback is one of the most thrilling experiences I’ve ever had; I’d learned so much from past producers like Michael Shuman (Queens of the Stone Age), and I was ready. For me, this whole chapter is about owning your spirit.” Inspired by Hole, Veruca Salt, Nirvana, and Alanis Morissette, Wolfe envisaged a specific sound for what would become ‘The Blowback’, opting to self-produce the new album to realize it fully.
