Death Doings 02:51
lyrics
buy track
One day I'm here and the next It's like I never been In this skin. Some say I lived too long. I say they're wrong I could go on and on. "Not fair!" I cry at the end. I could rise up again To greet all my friend. It's not till you get there There's no air the darkness surrounds Can't hear a sound. Bright lights are flashing They prodding and poking. My skin down there's sodden The whole thing feels rotten. I don't know how I got there Tied down and sheared My wits all astray. Strange thing to happen To a man that loves living You're given if you Leave me alone. In my mind I find the time When you wore your lips red Shone out from your head I feel the heat in your hands But my words they all fled Leaving so much unsaid.

Gone A Bit Insane 02:32
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes I see frightening things. Things with wings that make me scream. I don't call and I don't ring. Left alone I face these things. You say the mind's a wondrous place Of miracles that taste like grapes. But I don't think it's all that great As I sit here and hallucinate. I pull the shades. I lock the doors. I don't go outside much anymore. I think I gone a bit insane. I feel my head's not in the game. And if you were to ask my name. I used to know but now I can't say.

Today's the Day 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Today's the day when you show your face in town The place the same but its you that's changed some how. Lay out your things and fix your hair just so Take all the time you need no one has to know. I watched you soldier on You must be strong to live this long. Today's the day that you ought to call a friend. Get yourself out from your house take a trip you planned. The Starlight runs from south to north and gets there in day You can take in all the sights or sleep along the way. I'll stay real close to you and lend a hand if you're feeling sad. I'll be your memory. You write things down that I'll help you read. I'll be there if you find you need some help Somewhere down the line. One day and boom you're born again. But you are helpless as a lamb. Today's the day that you're really letting go. Gather up his clothes. Vanquish all the ghosts. It seems insensitive but its either that or trust in luck And pray that your spirit strong enough to rise on these lonely nights I'll be there if you find you need someone Somewhere down the line.

Been Down 04:34
lyrics

You've been down so long What's wrong... with you? You've been down so long What's wrong. You gotta be strong Just to get along Tell me I'm wrong. Another sad song sung But this time its new Seems like the same thing bit you I've got it bad that much is true You can be anything just breath Swim like a fish deep under sea Green swaying trees All you see. A feeling this strong Is quite rare when it Comes on this strong Some way some how You best beware I do what I can But understand When you stay down Too long not a chance I stay intact I'm so gone I'm the guy inside With the awkward smile Whose mill hasn't ground in while If there's substance there where's the style? A feeling this strong Is quite rare when it Comes on this strong Some way some how You best beware I do what I can But understand When you stay down Too long not a chance I stay intact I'm so gone

Going Nowhere 02:53
lyrics
buy track
This Chrismas Eve We'll put lights on the tree. There'll be gray skies and wreaths Outside the door. I feel done in There's this chill on my skin A heartbeat this weak Could do me in. I feel a bit light like I Float in air I'm going nowhere My best's a crawl Got no time sense at all I can't remember A single single song. One night my hope that I don't Wake again. Some say its a sin. There's not much left of me I'm just hanging on. The best has Come and gone

Same Same 02:13
lyrics
buy track
Outside Mike feels the pain. It's been getting fierce these last three years he'd say. Heaven knows and I suppose it's only what they say they know But the pain inside feels the same. Fall comes now without the rain. From our throats some civil discourse for a change. Light the signal fires unfurl the flags from on the highest spires That the flame inside burns the same. Burns the same it seems to me From the tip top of the tallest peak there'd be A proof so sure it convinces me That the flame inside burns the same. Chasing ghosts over seas That's the part of us that's full of pus and greed. You can bet the farm, buy firearms, jail the likes of me But the flame inside burns the same. Burns the same it seems to me All this talk of change it's plain its all a scheme To overthrow our minds upend the truth But the flame inside burns the same.

Word-ed 03:18
lyrics
Old friend, Why didn't you say something to me? Packed your bags and took yourself away, Pains me to say. Dark deeds, They been done to you it's true. Conspiracies smite you 'tween the eyes, I'm paralyzed. The path you chose is one I know, On no one else but you can you depend. Old friend, We didn't agree on much it's true. Your guitar I would tune when I stopped by, From time to time. Old friend, Was it something that I said, Got stuck inside your head and changed your mind, While I was minding mine? I known you since you were a boy, You never had much sense you were quite wild. Extreme your views might seem to some, We hashed them out and had some fun my friend. Old friend, We'd be grateful for some news, Step back I'll light the fuse and maybe smile, Sparks a fly. There's things you done both good and bad, I'm not about to list them all, My friend. Valle Vista where you start, Fast or slow you get there in the end, My friend.

John Muir Blues 02:44
lyrics

We lost all hope We ever find the way All our plans for nought Kinda comes what may. It's not your fault That its a sad, sad day. Stay in bed Fending off the phone. The rain it falls Dampens down the sounds It's not my fault That its a sad, sad day. It's not my fault That you gone away. Bathing by strangers Cuz you lost your head Speaking in whispers Cuz you're still in bed. Your friends they came Remembering the man Slightly dazed Your wife she says "I am All alone until the guests go home I'm so alone Now that you have gone. Sipping our coffee And we kissed your head You been there before me In your old man's bed. Now that you're gone this song Can finally end.

Best Think Twice 03:06
lyrics
buy track
Best think twice. There'd be a time when you find, Yourself alone. All those good friends gone to ground, But don't you mind. Sure you feel the pain like a flue Lodged in your gut. 'Fore you give up on it all, Best think twice. Best think twice Cuz the sunshine on shoulders sure feels nice. Best look twice before you Step off from the curb and end your life. You best think twice. This guy I know he's one of those, Self made but poses Off and on, all night long That's how it goes... Tried being nice, Just a kind word from your lips sometime suffice. Tried being nice, Hold the door open for strangers waltzin' by. By being nice from time to time I guarantee you're bound to find Some peace of mind... You best think twice. You best think twice. You best think twice. Just look around absorb the sound, The shit's gone down I said on Saturday It's in the air but we don't care. Lost all hearing in both ears, But never fear. We'll pay the price for our avarice and failure to assist, We'll pay the price every time we look away and don't resist. Some sacrifice by you and me is needed to Preserve our dignity, This I believe... You best think twice.

How Long 02:54
lyrics
buy track
It's been some years since you were Strong enough brawl Stood sbove us all You pick and choose A foe and face them all. I might be wrong but there's A chance I might be right Look left and then look right I said it once before I could be right. How long is long been long enough? I had my fill of pleasure, pain and such. How long is long been long enough? The beating of my heart it could just stop. I think it might have been Something someone might have said You knocked upside the head They left you there for dead That's what I heard. How long is long been long enough? I had my fill of pleasure, pain and such. How long is long been long enough? The beating of my heard it could just stop I wish I could just shut these feelings off.
