You're watching your friends As they're starting to play And they might be quicker At coming of age But you know that somewhere Deep inside That you've got something special Something you hide And it seems like no one Knows you exist But I see you there With the rails on your chest As you push up against the conduit fence Don't lose yourself in the chase for the rest The sun's in your eyes As you go for the ride And in all of these problems Your fatherless side I want you to know that it must reprieve 'Cause you and your soul met mine and in me you confide Your mother she calls you From inside the door Just as you started to silence the war The incessant leaches, the tenement hell The truth that you feel to the lies that they tell Head down, closed ears Mopping the floor You know you've been told about so much more And it may seem vague but Eve still took the bite Did the world forget about treating you right? Well the sun's in your eyes But you go for the ride And in all of these problems Your fatherless side Now, I want you to know that it must reprieve 'Cause you and your soul met mine and in me you confide Someday you'll die It's bleeding you dry Sometimes you find That deep in your mind We're all gonna die It's bleeding you dry Deep in your mind Sometimes you'll find (Watch out) You've got sun, in your eyes The old times they flew by You got sun, in your eyes And this time, passed you by

Dorothy, how do you do? It's been awhile since I've seen you Oh, I hope you made it fine up there You're looking down without a care But when I saw your body in the casket I never felt so all alone I don't want to know what time it comes Take another breathe and fall with me A punch in the gut with the revelry Is it creeping back up? Have you really had enough? In the eyes of devotion Through the lens of the blessed Eyes to the west Oh lately, what have you read? It's the best way to shrink your head Well, I'm having a pretty rough year And I miss your piano Christmas cheer Now that you're missing from the mantle The meaning seemed to fade away I don't want to know what time it comes Take another breathe and fall with me A punch in the gut with the revelry Is it creeping back up? Have you really had enough? In the eyes of devotion Through the lens of the blessed I don't want to feel this shit right now Things keep moving faster every year I harden my heart and I shed no tears The end so near I hope you can hear this where you're at now 'Cause I miss you every single day

Graydon took her hand from my side His intentions implied To my surprise Julie, looked me in the eyes Embarrassed at the sight As Graydon zips up, spits into my cup, Julie stands slowly. Tears pool fast, my heart so marred I race for the front yard Much past the gate Turn, as I hesitate She reaches for me then Pulls me to the right, naked in the night, she burns through me I wait alone Feelings they come and go A dim wit sight Naked in the night

In My Mind 03:13
Love is a line, connects space into time, in my mind. Friendship dies. Lose your mind. Seven billion dream... Can't return, though I yearn. Blurring the lines, biding my time, I'll be fine. Seven billion dream of all the love we throw away

If I am the little man Then say it to my face If I am the better man Then put me in my place If I am an honest man I'd really like to know How come all the time I feel So goddamn low I owe all my money to A man I've never seen Bet you if I saw him in His big black limousine He'd laugh it off and spit at me I feel just like a fool I life in debt I'm thankful for Don't that sound cruel In California Our friendship it died It's all for the best though There's no tears in my eyes I hope you realize If I am the little man Then say it to my face If I am the better man Then put me in my place If I'm just an honest man I'd really like to know How come all the time I feel So goddamn low How come all the time I feel So goddamn low How come all my friends and me Are so damn alone How come all my life I've felt So goddamn low

Desert Psalm 04:53
Born with the stars aligned with hers Die with the name I always cursed She parts the sea, a bright liquid green Drown the day I learned she was my queen The highland it kept me from the fore of my last breathe Riptide in between A memory and a dream I don't want it 'cause it's all I know I don't want it 'cause it's all I know Wasted my halo on blood stains and fables Hard time believing why's joy always fleeting I don't want it 'cause it's all I know I don't want it 'cause it's all I know Took a western wind Going who knows where Seeing all my faults - make 'em disappear You took the seaside coast Down where no one goes Now it's all up to me It's up to me It's up to me Burn every bridge Silence the sound My numbness feels so weightless Now
7.
Worth It 04:14
Tell me father was it worth it? When you cheated on my mom. Oh no Did you know you'd flip our world upside down? Did you see that you were throwing it all away? March into May I just looked into a mirror And the face I could not bare, today When did I lose sight of all that made me whole? When does growth equal aimlessness evermore Trip through the cold - war Now I stumble through my twenties As so many often do, I know It seems all that's lost might soon be here to stay As my country continues in its decay Throwing it away Well, I heard that it was worth it To hold yourself on higher ground The apple fell on fragile shoulders No one's to blame tonight I'm up by candle - light

Wise Blood 02:31
Wise blood, I miss you more than I should. We sang, on the roof love hurts till it actually did I felt too much and then outbid Buried with familiarity Wise blood Wise blood, you made me take it seriously. And I could, flip the mirror's music marking something like rebellious kids Things the past can keep unhid Rising with the thoughts of you and I I try Wise blood, I miss you more than I should. We sang, on the roof love hurts till it actually did I felt too much and then outbid Buried with familiarity Wise blood

Well, I never felt so lazy Than hanging 'round with you From your point of view Oh, those summer months so hazy Nothing left to do Feeling I'm through The alleys Coldness so bitter, I saw past your lies Drift off to sleep You glutinous fool Post egomania Slip in your drool Pitiful pauper Westernized plight, the plumb rule When you read it in the papers Won't you save me one or two As the old becomes the new You walk like a skyscraper Is love what you accrue? When you're acting like you do Mention Coldness so bitter, I cringed at your lies Drift off to sleep You glutinous fool Post egomania Slip in your drool Pitiful pauper, Westernized plight You thought that we all knew You plums rule
