Eight Ball
04:06

I left town just the other day looking for my home
Not a place for anyone but for me to call my own
And that state of mind may just be fine al though a mind does roam
How was I to know that I would just end up alone?
Cause the world is like a new born baby
The world is like a point blank gun
The world is like an eight ball baby
Predicting what I'll become
I set my sights on places that were all just out of sight
Burned myself on match stick men that I could never light
I longed for vindication when my actions all felt slight
I'll start it all again by chance that I might get it right
Cause the world is like a new born baby
The world is like a point blank gun
The world is like an eight ball baby
Predicting what I'll become

Well I was moving forward yesterday
Leaving footprints to follow on my way
But I guess I was too slow
And you were getting close
Though I was sentimental in a thought
Weary with an age's moment
When she said I was store bought
And I knew what real was
So I turned to my television screen
To watch more reality by scene
Though they said it was quite cold
I was warm with desire
Like a candle flickering on a gas leaked stove
I was destructive within my very nature
And I'd sooner die before I loved
I was wrong from the start
And I hope you can speak freely when we meet
On a weekend in late December
And with daylight trampling our feet
We can say the worst of all of this is over
We can say the worst of all of this is over
We can say the worst of all of this is dead

Jesus' Son
06:43

Now he wants a new rush
Searching for things he has not sought
While he sees familiar faces in places
He knows he's long forgot
And he climbs on to a mountain just to stand tall
And he's looking down
But he'll stand his ground
And he's looking down
But he'll stand his ground
Now he's bending over
Cause his burden weighs a ton
He divides himself among them
Just to find his entire sum
But he's dancing on the ground where he once crawled
And his problem's solved
And his world's revolved
And his problem's solved
And his world's revolved
Now his road his winding
So he stops the car with a thud
And he stands beside a graveyard
To look at lilies in the mud
That sprout from tear soaked roots deep in the ground
And he thinks he's found
He'll put his burden down
In a place he's found
He'll put his burden down
He'll put it down

Fool's Gold
03:48
|
|||
I waited for the afterglow to she its light on me
I waited for the aftermath to place where I'm to be
But I cannot stand for these demands or pushing idle hands
To sell me alibis
Cause they were more than I was told
Here with my fool's gold
It took me half my lifetime to learn that I could speak
You'd say more in an hour than I could in a week
But I can't repent for my lament though my time was better spent
Out singing lullabies
Until they all were sold
Here with my fool's gold
The truth is burning like a cigarette before your eyes
You're casting stones at your brother's thrones to bring out their demise
You sit and fit you hypocrites with all your blind merits
But you still don't realize
The power that you hold
Here with my fool's gold

Same Old Song

Monday morning she'll be asking me if I am clean
I'd tell her yes but this dirt's still in my seams
She said you can come up if you don't ever let me down
And I said I'd do the best that I can
Don't you know that
Someday I may change for you
Just a little bit
But I know that you won't recognize it
Tuesday morning she'll be asking me if I'm alive
I'd tell her yes but I have no sex drive
Wednesday morning I'll be looking for a better job
And I'll pretend that my problems are all solved
Don't you know that
Someday I may change for you
Just a little bit
But I know that you won't recognize it
Thursday morning I'll be writing letters I won't send
And I'll be late on the rent again
By Friday morning I'll be asking you to live with me
And I'll be begging that you forgive me
You know I'll be asking you
I'll be begging you
That you would be telling me true
That you could ever see this through
I'll be begging you
That you do
See this through
And forgive me
Don't you know that
Someday I may change for you
Just a little bit
But I know that you won't recognize it
But I know that you won't recognize it

A trial for the lifetimes we’ve been through
Sitting up straight I know what you won’t do
Speaking for things that I just don’t understand
A trial for the lifetimes we’ve been through
Make a clean slate but nothing can feel new
Still finding myself but I am a full grown man
Is that alone she smiles?
Is that alone she smiles?
Is that alone she smiles?
I think I see right through you
I’ll be a highway child
Without a phone for miles
Is that alone she smiles?
I think I see right through you

Amazing Grace
04:34
|

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils, and snares
We have already come
Twas grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home

If I could see clear through this pun
Into the lives of everyone
See what they fear and what they revere
And whom deep down that they hold dear
Shield my eyes and hold my tongue
You feed my thoughts so words will come
And teach me versions of your tale
And that success now will never fail
But when will I begin?
But when will I begin to see through the walls of this cell
Cause I'm sick and tired of being well
Cast away your curses and your spells
Cause I feel a day away
Like a baptized child the rain did rinse
I shed myself of innocence
Or maybe it was just blind ignorance
Either way I haven't been there since
And I don't know if times to blame
Familiar places don't feel the same
They look just how they've always been
Except now I'm out and looking in
But when will I be in?
But when will begin to seen through the walls of this cell
Cause I'm sick and tired of being well
Cast away your curses and your spells
Cause I feel a day away
I keep pictures in the clothes I wear
Of the few people now my time still shares
It was hard to know that I'd outgrown
The places I've been and the people I'd known

Trash Bag Heaven
01:26

I held a hurt
She wore a skirt
Temptations tempt and smiles flirt
I said hello
And begged let go
Mistook me for a kind fellow
Some things still went unsaid
So how was I to know I was half bad
When she said I was half good to me instead
But I kept my health
And sold my wealth
Cause it wasn't anything I felt
I asked for more
I could ignore
Tried it all out until I was bored
Some things misunderstood
So how was I to know I was half good
When she said I was half bad to me instead
But I knew it went
Where it was sent
Until time had killed the innocence
We said close cut
And had close ties
To a jailhouse wailing out alibis
We kept it safe
Didn't misbehave
Till it wasn't anything we craved
We threw ourselves
We threw ourselves
We threw ourselves away

Evergreen

Josephine, are you an evergreen?
Same color in winter as in fall
Yea and on a whim when you think of me
Do those green leaves blush at all?
Without a morning light to ride
Could you look for a smile or a glow?
When city lights are a better guide
Is there really any place for me to go?
I'd like to think I sold my heart away
For a wicked love and a trip to Pompeii
Where I could burn in those volcanic sunsets
That outline her face and shed light on my regrets
Cause I haven't found it yet
Everyone is rushing around
Looking for that place just where they need to be
But if the whole world's a traffic jam
Is there really any place in it for me?
I'd like to think I sold my heart away
For a wicked love and a trip to Pompeii
Where I could burn in those volcanic sunsets
That outline her face and shed light on my regrets
Cause I haven't found it yet
Though I wonder if this is all that's waiting to be
Well then maybe its better that it never
That it never comes to me
That it never comes to me
Will it ever come to me?
Josephine, are you an evergreen?
Same color in winter as in fall
Did you run away, despite what some might say
And find the world around you is small
Josephine, are you an evergreen?
Same color in winter as in fall
Did you run away, despite what some might say
And find the world around you is small
And find the world around you is small
And find the world around you is small
And find the world around you is small
