Ten Year Trip
Hook me up
I’m broken deeper than
I knew that I could break
Won’t you help me out?
Rig me up
Bring all the gas, the pills, the drip that doesn’t stop
Make it all feel so much better
For now…
Ten year trip
As I close my eyes
Falling deep
In the chemical night
Time stands still
In my minds eye
Rolling deep
In this chemical sleep
These eyelids
Become a blood-filled screen
Watch the colours play
In a sedative sky
Suddenly
Im seeing faces here
And things that don’t belong
In my medicated mind
Ten year trip
As I close my eyes
Falling deep
In this chemical nightmare
Time stands still
In my minds eye
Rolling deep
In this chemical sleep
Come around
Into a place I knew
but somehow I forgot
When the world died

Dredge
Digging over the past
That book of my mistakes
Raking through all the hurts
That never seem to fade
Turning in our minds
The wheels of our disgrace
Spinning out through time &
laughing in our face
I have paid my respects
the old me is dead
There no more need to dig
There’s no more need to dredge
No more need to drown
And no more need to drift
I have settled my debts
the old me is dead
My own bed of nails
When I try to sleep
Moving on in my life
Is just like pulling teeth
My own special hell
My own hall of shame
Drag myself face first through
The gutter along with my name
I have paid my respects
the old me is dead
There no more need to dig
There’s no more need to dredge
No more need to drown
And no more need to drift
I have settled my debts
the old me is...
Hateful words I said or did
Cutting down though my skin
Chances that I took or missed
Haunt me now, taunt me still
Holding on to all that guilt
Drags me down, makes me sick
And the pas and present don’t even exist
Still I hear the voices.

Smoke

Smoke
Burning up that cream
always tastes so sweet
Makes you feel no pain
When you’re floating on your feet
Trying to maintain
Always holding on
Little seeds from Spain
Well they gave me what I want
I’m letting it all drift in the air
Like smoke
I’m letting go of all it
Like smoke
Stress is slowly killing me
Take it in and try to breathe
I’m burning up again
Like smoke
You can smell the lie
When they say they’ve got it made
You can still your mind
If you smoke it all away
Took a little time but now I
See it differently
Don’t care if I die
And I’m no longer afraid
I’m letting it all drift in the air
Like smoke
I’m letting go of all it
Like smoke
Stress is slowly killing me
Take it in and try to breathe
I’m burning up again
Like smoke
Trying to keep my feet off the ground
Walking wehere my feet make no sound
Like smoke.

Blood Up
Please leave me here
Please give me space
Please stop talking
Please turn away
It gets my blood up
The noise is non-stop
It gets my blood up again
I need to breathe again
I need to clear my head
I’m still standing
I’m still the same
I bite my tongue
You should do the same
It gets my blood up
The noise is non stop
It gets my blood up again
I need to breathe again
I need to clear my head
Seems we’re all broken
Seems there’s no escape

Red Flag

Red Flag
Flying high and taking off
In the mood to self-destruct
Bitter taste upon your tongue
Friends have left you one by one
Red Flag
Desperate to fill that hole
Never happy on your own
Quick to anger, no control
No satisfaction - none at all
Red Flag
Only speaks in absolutes
Bludgeoning a point of view
Gives support then qualifies
Wielding trauma like a knife
Red Flag

Own It

Own It
Sometimes it’s not your fault
Sometimes it is, sometimes it is
You push your luck to long
And suddenly something gives
You hit the wall you, you sunk the ship
You crashed the plane into the bridge but still you lived.
You fucked up and you got hit
With a gutload of regret, that's what you get.
It's time you owned it.
Life is love and suffering.
It's time you owned it.
Let it sink into your skin.
Your own choices led you here
Following your every whim, your every whim
And if you fight, or slide away
It's just another choice you're making every day
So take that walk and hang your head
It’s time you took that medicine, that medicine
When you can't stand your own face
But you see it every morning, every day.
It's time you owned it.
Life is love and suffering.
It's time you owned it.
Let it sink into your skin.
If you don't let it break you, you can start again.
Start again.

The Greatest Lie
Stone dead sleep
I woke up from the deepest dream
Pale in the cold sun
Shake off my bones, I picked myself up
Blinding light
I hide my eyes again
Nails in my stomach
And fire in my head
It’s alright -
The greatest lie I ever told
Fake a smile
and carry on, they'll never know
Visions of the past again
Days I don’t remember
And so I can’t repent
The fire burns
And never seems to end
Bringing the walls down on
You me and all the rest
It’s alright -
The greatest lie I ever told
Fake a smile
and carry on, they'll never know
No rest for the weary
No peace of mind
We all smile
no end in sight
We shake hands
Alone in the dark
We just smile
We all smile.

The Hex of Penns Woods
by Almost Honest
supported by 18 fans who also own “Live From The Pit”
Almost Honest have continued to push the envelope within the modern heavy underground scene. To David's point, while they reside within the Stoner/Doom landscape, they possess a wildly catchy, diverse and intriguing sense of songwriting, meticulously merging elements of grunge, punk, metal and alternative rock. Honestly, this could be their best work yet.
