Soft As A Shell
03:26
|
|||
You and me, are gunna stay
You and me are gunna play
Something else, I’d rather be alone
Then watch you be all tied
To your broken allies
Doing what you can to survive
Soft as a shell in the ocean, she didn’t mind at all
If we stayed for a while, told our lies out loud
I know that you, played it all out in your head
That I was dead, you walked alone
All those times I couldn’t say how, I felt about you now
I tried so hard to speak your name can we meet, sometime again, within the hour
I’ll play a game again
I’ll play a game
I’m laughing all the way, down to the house where we used to play
I know that you wouldn’t lie, to all those laughing spies
Be there for me, when I am gone from your life
Be there for me, when I am gone from your life

You Got It Right
03:52
|
|||
Everything that I’ve ever known
Gets dumped down the drain at home
Something I can’t deny, its in my heart
When I want to come, to you for comfort
You lean back from me, you shy away and
You don’t, think that, its your role
But cha get sick in time
Get sick in your mind
You know, you got it right
Don’t be so nosy, get out of my business
I didn’t ask for, any opinions
Everyone seems like, there on my back
There judging me now, without an end
Losing sight of were they stand
There feeling like I need, to be like them
But cha get sick in time
Get sick in your mind
You know, you got it right
I can’t even tell if your gone for good
You can’t even say if you know I should
Rely on you to stay, here with me today
Your wanting me to stare, at your, at your beautiful body
I woke up next to you lying there
Your staring at me with your long, long hair
You waked up startled, you had a bad dream
About your dad and me
He threatened you, he spat and he screamed
Don’t let the old man get’cha in your sleep
But cha get sick in time
Get sick in your mind
You know, you got it right
Get sick in time
Get sick in your mind
You know, you got it right

Iron Gate
03:00
|
|||
Even if I say, I’m gone for good, I’m still coming right back
And even if I tell you that I’m afraid, I’m still coming right back
But even if I didn’t believe you
Even if I didn’t care
I’m still waiting by that iron gate
Looking around, I ain’t got much time to waste
The dust and the wind don’t take much time to cover it up, cover it up
You got 10 wishes to
You got 10 wishes to, be on time
All right, yeah!, You got nothing else, All right, yeah!, Yeah~
For every excuse you make, you dig a hole, deeper for yourself
I had to use a machete, something wasn’t ready to start it’s engine on me
But everything I wanted
Fell into place
I’m still waiting by that iron gate
I’m still waiting with the hate in your eyes, you got nothing else
I’m waitin for ya, I’m waitin for ya, a-huh
I’m still waiting by that iron gate
Looking around, I ain’t got much time to waste
The dust and the wind don’t take much time to cover it up, cover it up
You got 10 wishes to
You got 10 wishes to, be on time

You'd Feel The Same
04:44
|
|||
I’m always questioning you
I think you’ve done something wrong
Can you bring it to my attention
Can you hear it in my song
I’m always questioning you
Where do you think you’ve been
Are there any guys there wanting to take your hand
Send me on a boat, send me on a train far away
In any past life you’d feel the same
Send me on a boat, send me on a train far away
In any past life you’d feel the same
I give you up now
You’ve given me a reason why
I figured cause it was more
I found out why
I’m always questioning you
Where do you think you’ve been
Are there any guys there wanting to take your hand
Send me on a boat, send me on a train far away
I’ve given you so much! Please don’t complain
Send me on a boat, send me on a train far away
In any past life you’d feel the same
All my time I’ve chose, to spent it alone
But every time I’ve tried, to get away from home
You followed me lurking, behind every step
You found a way to always get me so upset
Send me on a boat, send me on a train far away
I’ve given you so much! Please don’t complain
Send me on a boat, send me on a train far away
In any past life you’d feel the same
You’d feel the same, You’d feel the same
Any other day, any other way you would
You’d feel the same, You’d feel the same
Any other day, any other way you would

I Met A Girl
03:50
|
|||
I met a girl, she was lying next to me,
Counting fireflies across the pond
She told me that, I would do anything that the man told me
But I can’t deny, I need the money
Then she left, went away
I met a girl, she wasn’t glad, she took the time,
I met a girl, she wasn’t glad, she took the time
to give me what I needed,
In the rain I slept for hours
Waiting for her, to return
To what’s left of this wrecked ruin
That she calls, her friend
I met a girl, she wasn’t glad, she took the time,
I met a girl, she wasn’t glad, she took the time
to give me what I needed,
It don’t matter anyhow, I’ll get the job done
It don’t matter anyhow, as long as she wouldn’t feel the sun
Feel, oh, oh, oh, oh
I met a girl, she wasn’t glad, she took the time
I met a girl, she wasn’t glad, she took the time
to give me what I needed, to give me what I needed

Lean On Me To Know
02:58
|
|||
Many ways I hadn’t seen you before
You were clear but never understood
You were cared for by your only brother
If only you could
But every time you bled, it made, a scene on the floor
You got everything we’d offered
And you’d even ask for more
Food to fill your belly with
We’d just stare and ignore
Lean on me to know
I would rather be with you there
I would rather see anything without a care
I walked into a classroom one day
I asked if they could teach me anything
They told me to take a number and wait for someone
To take me under there wing
But perish the thought
That we would learn anything new
From the TV that pours knowledge down the tube
I waited so long in that little classroom
Feeding from the tube
Lean on me to know
I would rather be with you there
I would rather see anything without a care
You would, you would say, goodbye
Lean on me to know
I would rather be with you there
I would rather see anything without a care

I Don't Remember Why
03:11
|
|||
I came into this world alone
And the same when I leave
I want to make you feel at home
So sit down and grab a bite to eat
The ground is cold but you can find another
Another place to sit
By some friends or maybe some strangers
Who you haven’t met
But she gave up everything that she owned
Just to be with me
I don’t remember why
Many things had gone and past
I don’t remember why
Many things had gone and past
I gave up on many woman
Just to be with one
There was no hard decision
She will bare my son
But she gave up everything that she owned
Just to be with me
I don’t remember why
Many things had gone and past
I don’t remember why
Many things had gone and past
We came to an agreement that day
About all the little things
Would come into place
All the little things
We knew would change

Following, in the cold, steps of a stranger
You never know, something could, happen to you, oh the danger
Of playing with toys, that don’t feel the same
I’ll give you something to sing about
You’ll never know
I’ll give you something to sing about
You’ll never know, oh
The sound of the train, dancing in the moonlight
Reminds me of a dream, were I met you inside
That lonesome farmhouse, that deep dark night
The smallest amount of gossip can kill the smartest of men
Many things they wanted couldn’t get sent
I wonder, if they’d figure it out, until then, until then
I’ll give you something to sing about
You’ll never know
I’ll give you something to sing about
You’ll never know
Following, Yes I’m following, following, following, following you down
The story, it fit so well
It could even be true
He actually hoped so
For it might explain the silence
The loneliness emptiness of the sky
Without the world having to be totally vacant of civilization
How else to explain the slaying heaps
That remained of so many radio antennas
Maybe I could decide, on something, I will never hide
Everyone involved, everybody around the night
Bring it on the down low tonight
A haunting sense of special grace and perception
And understanding of nature made up in equal parts of love and learning
The civilization has ended
Many people have died
Adventure on a scale rarely seen in this century

Mama Don't You Feel
04:18
|
|||
I woke up one day, I had the strangest of feelings, I got up for the morning feeding
I kept myself to the door then I went on my way
I saw the shadow that was winking at me, through my window
And then I stared him down until he went on his away
I picked up myself today
I figured out another way
Mama don’t you feel
Your pushing me down
And all around
Mama don’t you feel
That I could come back now, right now
Roll over another stone until, I get
Roughed up and thrown away in the trash can
I picked up myself today
I figured out another way
Mama don’t you feel
Your pushing me down
Don’t give up now
Mama don’t you feel
That I could come back now, right now

Listen To Me
03:35
|
|||
This natural beauty as it seemed
Covered her face up with superficial dreams
Seeking attention, and loyalty
She had a void and nothing could fill it but time
The men and the women wanted her love
But the images slipped over minds above
And the make-up ran down the gutter of noise
Like a fake sense of guilt grew, into a dripping potent bud
Listen to me,
You got to bleed first before you think
Listen to me,
You got to bleed first before you sink, before you sink
A free exploring mind is not what she’s after
She loves new souls to manipulate with laughter
Crawling back to me after my fall
To wrap her thick web around my clear conscious soul
Dangerously weak, modestly elicit
Prudently lustful, provocatively tasteful
She stands like an advocate, so innocent and dark
Running her nails through your instincts, she makes you bark
Listen to me,
You got to bleed first before you think
Listen to me,
You got to bleed first before you sink, before you sink
Sink into the void, that is her love, She loves you
But you walk away, it’s too much for you to handle, now
There were too many red flags, even your friends knew that this, would happen
Now that too much is harvested, the bones are now broken, the skin is torn
Now that it’s a new day

Pollen
11:30
|
|||
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You took my drums away
You stole them and never paid me back
You took away my mileage
The sidewalk had never seemed so drab
The things that you said about us didn’t phase me a bit
I couldn’t make up my mind whether to forgive or forget
I tried so hard to be what you wanted in a man
I guess you haven’t decided if I’m part of your plan
Stand up to the man who’s in charge of you, in charge of you
And tell him that he’s wrong for
The things he did to you, yeah
The pollen, pollen, is coming through, from me to you, yeah
The pollen, pollen, is coming through, from me to you, yeah
Walking down the sidewalk, seeing names, seeing yours apart from mine, from mine
Red cardinal speaking out, telling you that you are what you find
You find him walking beside him, You find him with his guitar too,
Don’t you find him beside you, beside you
Stand up to the man who’s in charge of you, in charge of you
And tell him that he’s wrong for
The things he did to you, yeah
The pollen, pollen, is coming through, from me to you, yeah
The pollen, pollen, is coming through, from me to you, yeah

Well I’ve been down too long
And I can see your hair flowing down
I’ve been down too long
And you can believe me when I tell ya that I’m gunna go
But it feels nice just thinking of you
