Makeshift Mountains 04:13
lyrics
buy track
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

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
lyrics
buy track
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

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

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!

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!

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

Woe is Me 04:52
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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
