Makeshift Mountains
04:13
|
|||
Well I’ve been driving down this country street
Man them clouds they just gotta be, makeshift mountains
Snow-capped and bright, ahh majestic height
And I wonder how that must be
Just a-floatin up there wild and free
C’mon honey
I’d wait for it, don’t make me say it
Let go!
When all your cares dissolve and there’s nothin ‘round to drag you down
Let me be the one to take your hand I want you around
Well there’s just somethin between you and me
But you should know that I still believe, makeshift mountains
They keep us apart, ahh before we could start
And I just wanna know how to be
Ahh with you and how to make you see
C’mon baby
I’m beggin for it, but you make me wanna quit
Let go!
When all your cares dissolve and there’s nothin ‘round to drag you down
Let me be the one to take your hand I want you around
Oh rain down, oh rain down, oh rain down my heart
All the way down, til they drown…
Let go!
When all your cares dissolve and there’s nothin ‘round to drag you down
Let me be the one to take your hand I want you around

What You Stole
03:13
|
|||
I don't know what I wanna say
But I'm gonna say it anyway
Ya pay the price just to stay free
man it really really gets to me
Pay, pay what you owe
Pay, pay....get down!
Sittin bored on the couch alone
Staring blankly at my phone
Outside the hum of the enemy
Man it really really gets to me
Pay, pay what you owe
Pay, pay what you owe
What you stole
Feel the pain that's inside of you
But the things that you say are not true
Outside the hum of the enemy
Man it really really gets to me
Pay, pay what you owe
Pay, pay what you owe
What you stole
Pay, pay what you owe
Pay, pay what you owe
What you stole

My Home
03:43
|
|||
There’s a train station in town and a fast food joint or two
And I can breathe fire out under that old Tellus moon
Don’t ask how the streets got so dark and deserted
You couldn’t kill my ego but you badly hurt it
And I would take you all with me
But I miss my home
Back there where the trash cans bleed
Yeah I miss my home
You won’t see horses but hearses out there on them fickle streets
‘Tween the alleys of dust to where the skyline meets
Painted walls dot the halls in that palace of the past
And blurred vision haunts those who die of hunger slow, but still fast
And I would take you all down with me
But I miss my home
The water tastes damn near rusty
I still miss my home
I can’t tell the wind from the rain
And my skylight’s dark, offended by forever
I could bring you here
To be near my heart…
And I would take you all with me
But I had to roam
So wherever you might be
Well that is my home

High Horse
04:42
|
|||
I don't have no message for ya
No I don't give a damn
It ain't my place to tell ya nothin
Come up with your own plan
I'm the same as you, you're the same as me
Get off your high horse, fucker
I'm the same as you, you're the same as me
Get off your high horse, fucker
You can talk all you want
About all that I should hide
But you know that I won't listen
I got too much stubborn pride
I'm the same as you, you're the same as me
Get off your high horse, fucker
I'm the same as you, you're the same as me
Get off your high horse, fucker
I see ya hiding in plain sight
Asking me questions I can't see
And we both know the end is near my friend
How could you want more from me?
I'm the same as you, you're the same as me
Get off your high horse, fucker
I'm the same as you, you're the same as me
Get off your high horse, fucker

Ticket 12

|

You just don’t know how to live
You just don’t know how to die
You just don’t know how go out, and stay inside…
Well it’s hard to chase the pain away now honey
You better do what they say
When time ain’t your friend no more
Just try to live instead of pray
Put some money in your pocket then you close the door and lock it
Do what the rich man say!
When it comes to death and taxes baby
I’ll play it where it lies
Next time ya dig a grave girl…
Hope it ain’t your soul that dies
But it’s hard to chase the pain away now honey
You better keep it all down
When time ain’t your friend no more
Just try to live instead of drown
Find some pleasure when you click it rock and roll yeah that’s the ticket
We’re comin to your town!

Look Up
03:48
|
|||
Work unending, minutes so slow
Don’t look at the clock
Always bending, but never show
The key to your broken lock
You gotta gotta…
Satisfy that hunger, and wait no longer
My fate on your hands is red
Let me help you, pass right through the darkness
I wanna see you make it through
And when you wanna…
Fly off the handle, and blow out the candle
That’s when I’ll get you right
You gotta gotta believe me now
In the darkest night I see your light shine
Whether wrong or right, keep it going bright
When your life takes flight, beyond your plight
And on, and on, and on
Knowin knowin nothin, Knowin knowin nothin
Knowin knowin nothin, nothin
Knowin knowin nothin, Knowin knowin nothin
Knowin knowin nothin, nothin
You gotta gotta believe me now
In the darkest night I see your light shine
Whether wrong or right, keep it going bright
When your life takes flight, not a cloud in sight
And on, and on, and on!

Richer Than You
02:45
|
|||
Well I’m richer than you
You should fear me
I know, what’s better off for you than you do
Well I’m richer than you
Can you see me
When I walk, I walk all over you in fancy shoes
I can feel it go off the rails
Flip a coin first heads then tails
You are the wrong ones
But you got the dough, and the looks
It must be so much fun, to get all you want
And to be crooks
Well I’m richer than you
Can you kill me?
Hell no, there’s less of me than you, but we got more food

Let Me Go Back
04:42
|
|||
I don’t have nobody, no one all my own
No I don’t have nobody, no one all my own
Let me go back, Let me go back
Just let me go back
I wanna go back, get back on track
Just let me go back
I’m lookin for somebody, someone all my own
Anyone know anybody, that I can call my own?
We ain’t at war anymore
You put up the white flag ‘round your door
No we ain’t at war anymore
Anymore!
Let me go back, Let me go back
Just let me go back
I wanna go back, get back on track
Just let me go back
I don’t have nobody, no one all my own
No I don’t have nobody, no one all my own
Let me go back, Let me go back
Just let me go back
I wanna go back, get back on track
Just let me go back ohhhhhh

Woe is Me
04:52
|
|||
There once was a man aboard a ship
Goin nowhere, and nowhere fast
He took all he had and threw it away
All his troubles, no sunken past
There once was a girl, a sight to see
Out searching far and wide
She took a chance and looked his way
But he panicked and chose to hide
A man adrift at sea, woe is me
There once was a flood of misery
All around me, it soaked me through
It poured from above and waited below
And all thought is, drenched in blue
There once was a boy and now a man
Still searching, but running blind
The sea so vast, and churning still
Does nothing to ease my mind
A man adrift at sea, woe is me

Too Late to Fake It
03:05
|
|||
Well the night was as dark as it gets in December
I was as pale as the moon in the sky
And I was drunk as a skunk, avoiding hot dog vendors
With no good reason why
I stole a sign off the street, just a little laminated sheet
I couldn’t tell ya what it said
Didn’t remember what I did, or them people I did meet
When I awoke with a poundin’ in my head…
I’m gone, I’m gone, I been here too long
And I just can’t seem to get things straight
I’m gone, I’m gone, I said don’t let it carry on
Cause it’s getting too late to fake it anyway
I’m gone, I’m gone, I been here too long
And I just can’t seem to get things straight
I’m gone, I’m gone, I said don’t let it carry on
Cause it’s getting too late to fake it anyway

Brighter Now
05:27
|
|||
I see life today, a maze of screens never ending
But we don't know nothin
It's like somehow today, some way
With all that we've done here
That we might learn something
You can push it away, afraid
That after the missteps
That we might learn something
But each time we retain, our ways
Our habit of hatred
It's clear we've learned nothing
Seems like the lights in town
Should be much brighter now
By now the world somehow
Should be much be brighter now
Just look at the way today we leap every hurdle
As if we've learned something
Like we'll all be okay someday
If idly we stand by and still just do nothing
Let's admit we're afraid to say that love is the answer
And hide behind nothing
Seems like the lights in town
Should be much brighter now
By now the world somehow
Should be much be brighter now
I see, we spin eternally
Now I see, the light is faint but free
Ohhhhh
Seems like the lights in town
Should be much brighter now
By now the world somehow
Should be much be brighter now
Let's make a promise now
We'll all live brighter now
Light is the answer now
Let's all live brighter now
Let's make a promise now
We'll all be brighter now
Light is the answer now
Let's all live brighter now
Let's all live brighter now
Let's all live brighter now
Light is the answer now
Let's all live brighter now
