Same expression different face I can relate with the weight doesn’t matter where you wait it’s not too late to walk away To save what you can save in your dignity Because if you do stay You may deal with me So may just walk away, It never is too late to avoid unpleasantries Time and time again you fake that you can take all that you get So say what you can say to walk away Because if you do stay You may deal with me So may just walk away, It never is too late to avoid unpleasantries Don’t you cry I won’t bite I’m glad you stayed so we can work it out and if it don’t pan out we may just walk away, It never is too late to avoid unpleasantries may just walk away, It never is too late to avoid unpleasantries may just walk away, It never is too late to avoid unpleasantries

everything so it seems It’s no dream it’s really happening forest’s green birds and bees a perfect scene can still be menacing what is one to do when all they’ve come to know is wrong? wont there be someone who knows? just what exactly is about to go down and how many demons must I fight? good on the left and the bad on the right all of them wanting my time everything so it seems it’s a sin depending how you spin black and blue me or you whose the fool it depends on what’s the rule birds of a feather all flock together unless one sees something’s not right just what exactly is about to go down and how many demons must I fight The good on the left and the bad on the right all of them wanting my time birds of a feather all flock together unless one sees something’s not right just what exactly is about to go down and how many demons must I fight The good on the left and the bad on the right all of them wanting my time

It’s been a long time traveling He’s seen his share of suffering Still waiting for, that metaphor to put things in perspective no matter what town, his mind is in alway’s the same crowd, chiming in Can’t escape, the same fate he finds himself in once again The long road going nowhere Long road he’s been before The long road’s going nowhere still it’s been a long time coming he’s seen his share of revelry Still waiting for, that metaphor to put things in perspective The long road going nowhere Long road he’s been before The long road’s going nowhere still When he awakes, examines his shakes and quickly regrets his decision To open the door, and hit the road With no clear path or vision On where he’ll go or if it’ll matter If he won’t find a peace it stands to factor in making laughter The long road going nowhere Long road he’s been before The long road’s going nowhere still

Don’t take my mind Recollection is all I have I find in time Memories have become priceless No matter what I write Doesn’t seem to make any sense If a few minutes pass by the words look the same but the meaning escapes what age is acceptable to wear pajamas all day because you forgot to change or what day of the week it is No matter what I write It doesn’t seem to make any sense If a few minutes pass by the words look the same but the meaning escapes No matter the stakes You can’t relate When I can’t remember your name Or even place your your face I’m hoping it won’t come to that If it ever does don’t take offense for my blank stare No matter what I write Doesn’t seem to make any sense If a few minutes pass by the words look the same but the meaning escapes No matter the stakes You can’t relate with my blank stare When I can’t remember your name Or even place your your face I hope it don’t come to that But If it ever does don’t take offense I hope to keep my mind Memories have become priceless

Hosanna 02:58
Hosanna wont you come wont you keep me on my toes wont you keep me from falling to far in a hole you must know what it means to be alone when you're surrounded by a crowd of people who don’t know you at all You're so silly, you don’t mind at all when they don’t even know you at all but you keep on pushing your agenda which is take or leave it alone You don’t really care if I don’t know you just open your arms like a home Even though I don’t belong Hosanna I’ve come undone I don’t know my right from wrong I’ve just got this dumb guitar and this song You're so silly, you don't care at all if they even hear it at all you just keep on pushing your agenda which is take or leave it alone I guess I feel the same way as you do As long as you're not one that I fool Guess I’m a fool guess im the fool who knew the rule was sad but true the love you give is equal to the love that you will get and if you give no love you’ll get regret Hosanna wont you come wont you keep me on my toes wont you keep me from falling to far in a hole

Summer Rain 03:11
summer rain, on the window pane just what does it mean to me? I seem to be, a certain way maybe it, takes away my pain the reflection on my wall looks so small if the shades closed tight it cuts out all the light and my right to fight what i might not see in the bright of day summer rain, it can find a way to make innocent ones fall in sin I seem to be, wallowing helplessly captivated by rain the reflection on my wall looks so small If the shades closed tight it cuts out all the light and my right to fight for what I am supposed to be I thought I found a place where I could rest and lay my head upon your chest and hear you breath you used to make things simpler than they seemed I guess it wont take away my pain the reflection on my wall looks so large If the shades closed tight it cuts out all the light and my right to smite everyone who might want to hurt me I thought I found a place where I could rest and lay my head upon your chest and hear you breath you used to make things simpler than they seemed but this is now and that was then and I have found I have no place to land where I can hear you breath It seems that simple is something that used to be summers gone and fall is here leaves fall but so does rain we seem to be just the same

Find the balance tow the line Things you regret from your mouth Time keeps ticking and it’s not gonna stop One things certain we can all overcome and learn from ourselves Don’t find yourself in a state of regret and just stay there, and never learn One sad dog that seems never to learn Is the saddest puppy yet A reflection in the mirror no recollection who you see Time keeps ticking and it’s not gonna stop One things certain we can all overcome and learn from ourselves Don’t find yourself in a state of regret and just stay there, and never learn One sad dog that seems never to learn Is the saddest puppy yet Find the balance, tow the line One things for certain, we can overcome

Burrowed 03:15
I’m told, all he ever wanted was soul traveling town to town it bode in ways he didn’t plan it to go He sold, the only soul he ever owned for all the silver and the gold knowing he may never know If he'd ever leave his mark in the world if he’d ever become unfurled Or stayed rolled up, or be burrowed Two fold, his dreams and hopes to be someone you could call a king instead of a poor drama queen You’ll find, he made one mistake he trusted everyone but himself now he’s wondering who he is If he’d ever leave his mark in the world if he’d ever become unfurled Or stayed rolled up, or be burrowed Far below the earth and everyone Or stayed rolled up, or be burrowed Far below the earth and everyone Far below the earth and everyone

Work It out 03:19
What is one to do when one and one ain’t two? you feel a hero but labeled a zero in the ring your life is a square getting punched everywhere up against ropes not even the pope could hear your confession there you find you’ve been knocked down No time for clownin around Circus is performed in the round if you want to skip town gotta find your place now that you’ve escaped you feel the road spinning the spokes while you’re on your way Chose to be a vagabond if your hope is gone Or get back on the roundabout and work it out your life isn’t fair is it anywhere not even Jesus would claim to see us if we don’t care you find your way across town seeking what you already found thinking that there must be a crown to take away your frown Chose to be a vagabond if your hope is gone Or get back on the roundabout and work it out once you’re gone you won’t fall, no more you won’t call from the road but you’ll ride till you can’t no more Chose to be a vagabond if your hope is gone Get back on the roundabout and work it out

Catch 22 03:12
I find myself in the darkest places can’t put my finger on what get’s me there I tell myself, give it three days if something makes me smile start the counter over doesn’t have to be all the while I’m a simple man with a simple plan I feel I may be off my game the thing that makes me smile also makes me insane can’t win for losing when the balls thrown I catch 22 I dreamt about putting you to rest and the peace that came along with that Then I tell myself, give it three days if something makes me smile start the counter over doesn’t have to be all the while I’m a broken man in a broken land I feel I may be off my game the thing that makes me smile also makes me insane can’t win for losing when the balls thrown I catch 22

Heros 03:09
So they say you’re a star I know why don’t know how you still do the things that you do sometimes when you’re called above the rest you’re supposed to attest all the things that we do that’s what makes you the best turns out you’re human after all you can’t control yourself seems heroes fall just like the rest of us not much separating us except when they do it’s for the world to see No where for them to escape and so they find themselves alone in front of the whole world pretending not to care about what it is that makes us humans when you’re called above the rest you’re supposed to attest all the things that we do that’s what makes you the best turns out you’re human after all you can’t control yourself seems heroes fall just like the rest of us not much separating us except when they do it’s for the world to see No where for them to escape and so they find themselves alone in front of the whole world pretending not to care about what it is that makes us humans in front of the whole world pretending not to care about what it is that makes us humans

So must you drink the whole bottle Is it all that you want 17% alcohol by volume once it’s there it’s absorbed in your blood stream making you feel alive why did you have to drink the whole damn bottle Is it really what you need To be around me?

Oh why did you have to drink the whole damn bottle and leave me nothing? If you know why, maybe you can Realize why, you feel nothing So must you drink the whole bottle Is it all that you want 100% it will pull you under

feel like a river but a river that’s old never change stream maybe ripple if someone throws a stone at me i may always appear to be calm on the surface but you could agree if you throw stones you’ll change me From what I’m supposed to be steady and calm, rising above your best attempts to throw stuff at me I can’t seem to win no matter how hard I try to stay calm when it impacts I just can’t control the ripple that it sends through me spreads from one place and then to the next one thing you should know you'lll feel it next if you throw stones the change it brings From what we’re supposed to be steady and calm, rising above The best attempts to throw stuff at us But we must agree Feel like a river but a river that’s old If someone throws a stone you will ripple But don’t let that distort you below spreads from one place and then to the next one thing you should know you'lll feel it next if you throw stones the change it brings From what we’re supposed to be steady and calm, rising above The best attempts to throw stuff at us But we must agree
