Now It's Cold 04:52
lyrics
buy track
Feeling like you did that day Run around like you lost your way Come around and you never call (Something about you made me feel like a wild thing) Always drop your alcohol (You can’t give up too much, can’t give up too much) CHORUS: Now it’s cold… I feel alright, each and every night As long as you’re in the zone I couldn’t have a care about the clothes you wear Just don’t want to be alone The wind and rain, they are rattling the pane But I’m warm inside with you Too many times i was born inside The apple of someone else's eye Too many thoughts for me to chase (you can’t give them too much, can’t give them too much) Don’t want to run the human race (if you don’t do it now it’s never coming back again) Now you try to take my place (you got to remember love, got to remember love) CHORUS Some may want to be king for the day They think they have so much to say You and I want none of that (got to give up the lust, got to give up the lust) rather sit around and get real glad (everybody’s got to earn every bit of trust) CHORUS Too many times i was born inside The apple of someone else's eye Too many thoughts for me to chase (If I don’t open up, I’ll never bring it in) Don’t want to run the human race (if you don’t do it now it’s never coming back again) I finally found my saving grace (you can’t give it too much, you can’t give it too much)

Peeking in the Keyhole 04:12
lyrics

There’s a mime on the corner, feeling like a goner He really don’t know what he got It’s the same situation, he was always into guessing Don’t believe the things that you’re not But if you don’t try to make it, only try to fake it you might find that your dreams start to rot All your friends are calling me for answers They really want to know where you got So many people are peeking in the keyhole Try just to stay in love a lot Got the power of the hour The motion in the ocean, If they bend it might cause a commotion Swing for the fences, There are no second chances Just standing here in the dark There’s a fake corporation taking all the bacon Leave us shivering and shaking, it’s true So many people, standing in the steeple Seeking their answers from you I got led by the dead who said to follow them instead They take what they need and need to be taking they’re sucking all the love from the room Shaking and your shivering, shoveling the ignorance Feeling like you gave up too soon Well the line it was drawn, not to be too vicious Could never understand, but i’m doing the dishes It’s a cold situation when we leave it in the station Guard’s got his eye on you Now we gotta move on, get around the corner And figure out something new Well, maybe I was living Maybe just surviving I might be a junky for the truth So many people peeking in the keyhole just to stay in love with you Got the power of the hour The motion in the ocean, If they bend it might cause a commotion Swing for the fences, There are no second chances Just standing here in the dark There’s a fake corporation taking all the bacon Leave us shivering and shaking, it’s true So many people, standing in the steeple Seeking for their answers from you Everybody fissures, got new divisions They just want to know what to do I got led by the dead that said to follow them instead They take what they need and need to be taking they’re sucking all the love from the room It’s a cold situation in another station No choices left for us to choose Shaking and your shivering, shoveling the ignorance Feeling like you gave up too soon But i’ll be right here, and I'll be standing tall I’ll be right here, when you're feeling small

Cold-Hearted Haters 04:10
lyrics
buy track
I just woke up, found nobody was home been looking everywhere and I can’t find my phone searching for answers but don’t really know Where did everybody go? I’m running down the neighborhood looking for somebody That I know around here today been knocking on some doors, and asking what for But no one’s got a thing to say Cold-hearted haters, trying to build up a throne (they try to build it) Cold-hearted haters, take what they don’t even know (they're gonna steal it) Cold-hearted haters, I want them out of my life (got to get out) Cold-hearted haters, words cut like a knife (got to stop it) I never understood why they're asking for assistance They're always gonna meet it with the greatest resistance Now i need to get me all alone, I’m going out of the known driving in my car, I’m following the star locked inside the zone I’ve been singing undercover, asking you for nothing And nothing is what I know Cold-hearted haters, telling me where to go (try and wreck me) Cold-hearted haters, telling me what to know (try to change me) Cold-hearted haters, telling me what to show (try to break me) Cold-hearted haters, I think their gonna blow (going to blow it out) You try to stabilize it, you finally realize just building up inside of your head You think you’re everybody’s long term friend, it’s just something that you said You didn’t want to give them everything you got, so you’re telling them it’s not too hot You’ve been giving out answers, never read directions, now your plans are shot It’s easy to deceive them with your latest illusion, they don’t really know what they know It’s an easy fix if they think a little bit, they’ll see you’re all for show Cold-hearted haters, trying to build up a throne (they try to build it) Cold-hearted haters, take what they don’t even know (they're gonna steal it) Cold-hearted haters, I want them out of my life (got to get out) Cold-hearted haters, words cut like a knife (got to stop it)

All I Can See 02:45
lyrics

Pleased to make acquaintance, try to make your appointments Can’t hide your disappointment, there’s a fly in the ointment All I can see is your devotion body and mind are always in motion shaking your feathers, try to control the weather It's not easy to remember we are together Been walking here all morning, there’s nobody around I stumble on your shoelace and I fall upon the ground Just 30 seconds later, I’m surrounded by your lies Got to find some other way, to keep you in my life All I can see is your frustration When you're tossing me that righteous indignation It’s not easy when you walk on the rocks of division It’s filling your mind with hatred and derision Been telling myself you‘ll find some introspection Please to make acquaintance, try to make your appointments I feel like I could fall down, but I’m never gonna make a sound You are sleeping in the daytime, I’d like to get away I tried and it’s not easy, but I’m gonna do it today All I can see is you’re with me now It's easier than I thought just to allow I’m pleased to receive all of your emotion I’m telling you it’s part of my devotion Just listening to all your crazy notions

Over My Head 04:07
lyrics
buy track
You came at a time when I was feeling dread, I took some comfort in the words you said I felt that we were moving, moving straight ahead Didn’t take too long 'til you took over my head Too many times I was standing in line and I didn’t even know what for And now I hear you knocking, well you’re pounding at my door Yelling do “I love you”, well one thing’s for sure... I got bruised and battered along the way, digging the landscape I'm pleased to meet you truly, pleased we’re taking shape But don’t fault my eyes for looking, always looking for an escape Too many times you were acting kind of evil, I see it everywhere we go Hurting on your neighbors, hurting on your lovers, why I do not know fire’s burning steady, never are you ready to stop that brutal flow Well please won’t you tell me, won’t you tell me what is true? You talk about the notion of endless devotion, well this is nothing new You talk about nothing unless it has to do with you If you want to be here, come join me on the floor But if you want to play those games, well keep going next door 'Cause I don’t want to live that way, don’t want to keep a score Too many times I was standing in line and I didn’t even know what for And now I hear you knocking, well you’re pounding at my door Yelling do “I love you”, well one thing’s for sure... I thought that I did love you, but I was in over my head I think I was enchanted by everything you said But now I know if you stay here I’ll wind up dead

Baby Bullet Tambourine 03:17
lyrics

Oh, the people they listen Listen in the places you go You try to tell them a story But it just makes them miserable Nobody knows for sure exactly what this means Baby bullet tambourine I asked you twice what the heck that means Baby bullet tambourine Something you read in a magazine Oh, the people they listen Then their ringing on the telephone All gonna tell me about her terrible time It just makes me miserable Baby bullet tambourine I asked you twice what the heck that means Baby bullet tambourine It's something you read in a magazine Oh, the people they listen Listen in the places you go You try to tell them a story But it just makes them miserable No one can listen every single day You got to find a place to stick it away Ew-we \ why do you call me? Ew-we \ why do you try me? Ew-we \ telling me stories Ew-we \ getting pretty corny She thinks it’s a kind of glory To get stabbed in the back every day She keeps changing the story It’s getting worse every way Well the telephone rings, I’m picking up the line She’s always gonna tell me about her terrible time When devotion is corrosive The mind is better than emotion you try not to forget all the good days Before you started walking on in this maze You’ve had a few drinks and feeling bold Telling things that should never be told You’re gonna break down before you get old If life's all about getting your gold

Change (Don't Drown) 04:13

Come out with me, we don’t have to go to party We can walk in the woods like we used to good You’re the best thing that's ever happened to me So why can’t I help you see If you stay and dig down into your pain you're going to drive yourself insane If you stay and hide down into your bed You’re gonna drown, drown, drown in your head When the righteous are knocking at your door They think they can tell you what’s the score They got a few secrets that they’re trying to sell, a few they’ll never tell As we are marching down the road well you really can tell whose situation is going well Yeah, who’s in heaven and who’s living in hell Sometimes I know, I get it wrong all day But I try again each and every way To stop making the same dim mistakes every day Please stop making the same mistakes today met a wild-eyed kid and he said to me better change our future before we're history Better change the future before you're history ...Change it, change it, don't just rearrange it.... you've got to change If you stay and dig down into your pain you're going to drive, drive yourself insane If you stay and hide down into your bed You’re gonna drown, drown, drown in your head ...don't drown

Torn in America 02:57
lyrics

Tell me what you need, what you need is good Everybody says what they think they should Got too many words, not enough thought Too much collected, not enough taught Torn in America, it’s okay Torn in America everyday Torn in America, we’re alright Torn in America, born to fight Run from the middle, it’s burning up Everybody's proving they’re tough enough Connecting the dots and you make the leap Try and rest easy, but you never sleep It’s not easy when you’re losing your soul Got a vision of the version you are trying to control Torn in America, it’s okay Torn in America, everyday Torn in America, it’s alright Pull to the left, pull to the right Meet in the middle, commence the fight Whose time is it now? (Torn in America, it’s okay) Whose crowds are turning out? (Torn in America everyday) Whose lies are building fear? (Torn in America, we’re alright) Whose minds are changing here? (Torn in America, born to fight) Really don’t mind if you get it wrong As long as the learning don’t take too long As fast as you can, got to make a new plan Hate to mention it much, you’re a hair out of touch Feel like we gotta get out of here Are we swinging too much on a pendulum of fear?

Lift Youself Up 02:34

When your mind is bringing you down You gotta get up, you got to get around You want to get lifted, over the top You want to get up, never want to stop You get yourself up, you get yourself right You’re looking for love, every single night You’ve fallen on the ground in another strange town And you can’t stand the sound of Velvet Underground Well, you beg for grace and you beg for space Now your getting yourself in another blank state Dry your eyes, they're looking pretty worn Hide your mind now, it's feeling pretty torn Face the waste and chase the fix Take the faith and you like the taste You can take it high, you can take it low Where it goes, you’ll never know You’ve fallen in a pit and you’re sick of it don’t make a sound, just lying on the ground Well you beg for grace and you beg for space Now your getting yourself in another blank state Get yourself lifted, get yourself up Get yourself lifted, don't ever give up You just got to stand up, you just got to try Get yourself lifted and you’re gonna get by

Heaven Knows 05:31
lyrics
buy track
When the skin you’re in is wearing thin When you don’t feel you can begin again When your dreams are dying on a shelf When your conversations are with no one else He was there everyday, then he just went away Heaven knows, it’s not easy... When you’re feeling down and there’s no one around And the weight of it all is laying heavy on you Heaven knows, it’s not easy... Words occurred when my love submerged on the road You better break it down, if you want to stay in town Work on your sanity, holding tight to fantasy Heaven knows, it’s not easy... When I feel you are fine at the end of the line And I just want to try to get next to you Heaven knows, it’s not easy... I feel faded, I feel frustrated, I feel mutated I better shake it, I better shake it, it’s not easy to do All my life I heard your advice I saw with your eyes Heaven knows, it’s not easy... When I try all day just to get away from the places you’d go If I cry all day, or just waste away, would you even know?
