Once you’re gone they say Oh he travelled far away
when you know that it’s hard
but you go anyway
when you lower your guard but don’t give yourself away I did
I’m going over the edge
gonna find me some meaning get a big smile there with a warm welcome greeting
gonna grab me a chair
join the party that’s always happening gonna find me a dance there
one that brings romance
gonna find me love
once you’re gone they say oh he travelled far away when you know that it’s hard but you go anyway
when you lower your guard but don’t give yourself away

I’ve got some tying to do
roped and what not perhaps you could come to
unless you feel like
I’m stringing you along
communicating with two cups two ropes two trees and about 15 feet or so, oh oh woah oh
Am I getting through or is the line frayed?
I can see from here it’s about to break
don’t pull so hard or oops too late
time is time it’s getting it’s move on
and I have to go
hello? but you’re gone
and I’m strung out on cotton
and you’re right on
with nylon
Oh am I getting through or is the line frayed I can see from here it’s about to break
don’t pull so hard or oops too late
oh great
time is time its getting it’s move on

13 days until I blow up the farm
13 days until i invite undue harm
14 days and I’ll be on the road
15 days and I’ll have lost my load Burning my wares from the inside out a fire sale that will leave no doubt I’m gone, gone gone gone
gone gone gone
13 days and I’ll have to wake up
13 days and I’ll have to grow up
14 days and I’ll have to face up
15 days and you could find my fingers by the side of the road
Burning my wares from the inside out a fire sale that will leave no doubt I’m gone, gone gone gone
gone gone gone
With so many hopes but no sure steps
I release the brakes and let go of the chips let them fall where they may
I’m o.k. I am ok
Burning my wares from the inside out a fire sale that will leave no doubt I’m gone, gone gone gone
gone gone gone

today’s the day I’m going to make it happen coming out in fighting form
no longer a loose cannon
I aim to settle a score
I don’t feel like anything’s over
still busting down closed doors dealing with this chip on my shoulder Always leaves me wanting more
and it’s really just a lonely kid
crying for his mom
really just a lonely person looking for someone really just a little kid crying out for his mom searching .... for a HOME
there wasn’t a call to action reacting on my own
I don’t feel like anything’s over
still busting down closed doors dealing with this chip on my shoulder Always leaves me wanting more
and it’s really just a lonely kid
crying for his mom
really just a lonely person looking for someone really just a little kid crying out for his mom searching .... for a HOME

Highs and Lows

Down to the last party playing I know why
things aren’t what they seem
Down to the last party playing somebody is going to take over
and even in a minute
if you hurry you won’t find a hand to hold on to
as you fight this change
because it has to happen for you to lie down
with your highs and lows let them come and go let them go
Down to the last party playing
I know why things aren’t what they seem down to the last party playing somebody’s going to take over ....
ooooooooohhhhh oooooohhhhhhh

Lucky in Luck

It’ll pass
give it a day
it’ll pass give it some time
these moments can’t last
let them go and settle into the past
an unlikely alignment
an unusual arrangement
a disaster from the stars
that has already left some scars
so smile and let it wash over you be lucky in luck
and happy to be unstuck
cause you were a stolid you were a stolid
you were a stolid structure demure and grey
no you weren’t solid
you weren’t solid
you were a fading gesture getting waved away now you’ve come to life
don’t let it fade
so smile and let it wash over you be lucky in luck
and happy to be unstuck
cause you were a stolid you were a stolid
you were a stolid structure demure and grey
no you weren’t solid
you weren’t solid
you were a fading gesture getting waved away now you’ve come to life
don’t let it fade

making a run for it
I give it all
and it’s all the same to you look at me that way
I know RUINED spending my time this way ruined
buying time
to laying low and letting go is that right
hits me right in revealing right in the feelings
the white lies I am fighting why you crying
I’m all right
I am fighting
riding high into the sky
riding high finding eyes looking back into mine
making a run for it
I give it all
and it’s all a shame to you look at me that way
I know FOOLISH spending my time this way foolish
hits me right in revealing right in the feelings
the white lies I am fighting why you crying
I’m all right
why you crying? I feel fine
I am fighting
no more hiding
I’m on the front lines

Up the Creek
02:50
|

|
I’m standing on the bridge hanging over the edge
water glistens below
and I remember what you said
I can’t help but think too much it’s all right when I think of you don’t be shocked when I’ve lost where else in this world
I want only good things for you surely I was not one
perhaps I made you smile some perhaps only once
They re-built the bridge but the and as it runs underneath
I turn up the creek
I want only good things for you surely I was not one
perhaps I made you smile some perhaps only once

Traditions
04:31

You keep making the same effort for advancement not taking chances getting the same answers maybe you’re asking the wrong questions point blank a loss of attraction to the template of sensations acquired over time you are now the sounding board the palate and the spectrum those seemingly helping hands are echoes of friction sending sparks spiraling all around down down to burn down your tired TRADITIONS

Begging for forgiveness leaving things alone they say time heals all
well I hope that happens soon and I’m feeling brave and true
I don’t want it all
just enough to get by
just enough to resume
I don’t want it all
just enough to get by and eventually
Smile smile
just for a while smile smile oooooooooooohhh
got make your own hope
be a generator creator never be afraid again
got to make your own hope
be an instigator ,elater, you got it on paper now Things are tough all over but you gotta have
an open mind, an open heart, or you’ll never find, find, that..
Smile
ooooooo
and they will shape your true form
and help you get your groove on they will shape your true form
and help you get your groove on, groove on, they’ll help you get along

Sleeping
02:55

|
our time is limited in this place
and in my youth I find trace
amounts of captive beginning to cave learning to love captor and behave
Kept bumping into the same walls bloodied while getting up from another fall till I realized the pain was my call
So I walked away from it all
So much time has elapsed and the same echoes rap
the same doubts whisper facts I focus on what reacts
I dream that I'm loved deeply
for there’s no evidence of this unless I’m sleeping I dream that I'm loved deeply
for there’s no evidence of this unless I’m Dreaming

Don't Let me Go
02:17

Don’t let me go
I’m too young to be gone
we haven’t tried everything
is there nothing that can be done?
So I drank myself stupid
ate chips for food
made friends with drunkards became one too.
Do not leave for too long
I will come back soon
take my phone when you go I will call before I come home
so I drank myself dumb ate peanuts with rum made friends with a girl let my story unfurl
I should have checked in
I thought I was ok
I can’t believe it all ends today
You’ll be ok you know I got the good word hey buddy wake up this time I heard
So I drank myself sober drove myself right
but I can’t go back and hold her that night hold her that night
Do not leave for too long
I will come back soon
take my phone when you go I will call before I come home
