Good Grief
03:44
|

Is there a place where I
Can rest my head 'cause I can't keep it up
I want to just unwind
Tell me the best way to be using my time
So much is lost on me I'm
Running around in circles; were you there, or are you here and can I
Blame you for the agony that stews between my ears, behind my eyes
Until I shape up
I ain't shipping out, good grief I'm getting
Well I'm not growing any younger
I can feel the weight of shadows beginning to fall
Still what is lost on me is
Why the deepest darkness always calls me out of silent sleep and
When the morning light breaks on through to me on the other side I'll try
What's the approach to approaching what I want would you tell me what I am, who I'm supposed to be
Did I just not quite hear you right, or am I not listening
What's the approach to approaching what I want would you tell me who I am, what I'm supposed to be
Did I just not quite hear you right or am I not listening
Is there a place where I
Can rest my head 'cause I can't keep it up
Oh I want to just unwind
Show me the best way to be using my time

Losing My Mind

Losing my mind
A little at a time
Someday there won't be nothing left
For anyone to find
I've still got eyes that see
So many good things
So many lovely people around me
I'll keep living like I got somewhere to be
Somewhere to be
Places to go, people to see
So much to do, so little time
Can't help but feel I'm losing the daylight
How did it get so late so soon
I turn around, come back to you
Newly awake, as another day breaks
Maybe today I will do this right
'Cause it's awful hard to fake
Left foot in front of the right
Always ready for a fight
I'm breathing in, only time will tell
That everything's okay by the time I exhale
Somewhere to be
Places to go, people to see
So much to do, so little time
Can't help but feel I'm losing the daylight
How did it get so late so soon
I turn around, come back to you
C'est la vie
Another day has come and gone
And as it leaves
I can start to feel the calm
I'm home again
Everything washing away
My love you make
Me able to face another day
So much to do, so little time
Can't help but feel I'm losing the daylight
How did it get so late so soon
I turn around, come back to you
So much to do, so little time
Can't help but feel I'm losing the daylight
How did it get so late so soon
I turn around, come back to you

Walk Off the Earth
03:48
|
|||
Where the rubber meets the road
They don't meet up there no more
Left my motor car sitting silent in the desert
Set a flame, tossed my last dollar to the fire
Walking slow though my spirit's high
What I'm looking for I'll find
Oh to be free of the constant city bustle
Price to pay, is just loneliness; I'll be fine
Loneliness is something I have felt 'round you before
Who knew about this, if you get yourself away less feels like more
Home is where the heart follows
Underneath such heavy snow
Northern country chills me right down to my center
And my mind becomes less crowded by the mile
Sunshine changing day by day
Brand new morning light will show me the way
I think one day I'll walk right off of the earth
Loneliness is something I have felt 'round you before
Who knew about this, if you get yourself away less feels like more

Another Day
03:53
|
|||
So I couldn't tell you too many times to get up and go
But then when you did I didn't know how to smile and send you on your way
Now you're off and I don't know if you've even made it out of the woods
But I taught you the things my father taught me when life was looking me hard in the face
He said to be led
By your heart, not your head
And to move even when there's no moon
Whether you struggle, or you're feeling strong
Pray for another day
When you start, and you'll start alone tame your mind and keep your heart slow
Yeah you'll feel the woes of life flow into your soul and make you want to run for the hills
Remember your name
Refrain from the game that is jumping the gun
Take each step with the kind of cautious love a father might have for his son
He said to be led
By your heart, not your head
And to move even when there's no moon
Whether you struggle, or you're feeling strong
Pray for another day
Well I once knew this kind of love
I pass onto you beloved son
Well I once knew this kind of love
I pass onto you beloved son
Take today as a gift from above
And at night pray for yet another one
He said to be led
By your heart, not your head
And to move even when there's no moon
Whether you struggle, or you're feeling strong
Pray for another day
He said to be led
By your heart, not your head
And to move even when there's no moon
Whether you struggle, or you're feeling strong
Pray for another day

Get Gone
05:41
|
|||
It's someplace different that I'm trying to get to
And I've been trying for awhile and every time you
Leave me high and dry, I can't be lost, I can't be found
There's no one left here not a soul has made a sound
Who knows how long
How long must this go on
Voices calling me to go and just get gone
But every time I hear them I just keep on walking
Watch your tone when you speak to me that way
If I ever do leave I hope when I go you choose to stay
Will you be there to tempt will you be there to torture me like hell
It can be hard to find peace when you're at war with yourself
Who knows how long
How long must this go on
Voices calling me to go and just get gone
But every time I hear them I just keep on walking
My mind is an open book and too often an easy read
Flip through the pages, you'll find roots sewn by a seed
Planted by my own hand it grows a catastrophic symphony
Churning through this water hole is my soul, it fights to breath
Who knows how long
How long must this go on
Voices calling me to go and just get gone
But every time I hear them I just keep on walking

About My Time Here
05:28
|
|||
Sort my emotions from the oceans of oblivion
Dig deep they sneer, but I fear I may not return here
Once I dive the night is alive and around me as the lighthouse beam fades from my sight
Hovering atop the surface, I leave everything behind
What is it really that I even have left to leave behind
Start thinking we're too far gone; sinking like a stone
Retreat this fleet of one I'm alone, on my own, out of control
Drifting, sinking, drowning, I ain't ever coming home
What is it about my time here that I can't seem to steer clear of conflict and pain
With nothing to gain but experience
Live and learn and concern yourself with meaning
What are we living for, shouldn't be a question anymore
How I wish to be swallowed up by a big old fish take me far from this place I'm in
And spit me up on a shore and from here I'll explore this world furthermore
In a certain way I can only convey in a poem, wild and free but alone and on my own
I am sinking like a stone, sinking like a stone
What is it about my time here that I can't seem to steer clear of conflict and pain
With nothing to gain but experience
Live and learn and concern yourself with meaning
What are we living for, shouldn't be a question anymore
So why is it

Outside My Window
04:06
|
|||
Outside my window there's a place that isn't here
I tried to go there once, barely got the taste before the fear
Was set into motion, a ringing in my ear
Sense of the mystery that ran straight down my spine so grab my wheel and steer
'Cause I'm not in control no more, just along for the ride
Don't know what to do right now but I can't go back inside
I would have liked to read about the world from deep inside my home
A book that paints the leaves from words inside a poem
Or maybe just glance outside, notice colors have grown
Atop every flower stem, every bird that sings a song, and I can hum along
From inside my comfort zone, this is where I stay
All of the mysteries can be way out there a safe distance away
I may never go back to sleeping indoors
I may never go back to sleep
I may never go back to sleeping indoors
I may never go back to sleep
Maybe just glance around, notice colors have grown
Atop every flower stem, every bird that sings a song, and I can hum along
Outside my comfort zone, I think I ought to stay
All of the mysteries that I find out here will keep me far away

Smooth Talkin'
05:40
|
|||
Smooth talking your way through the evening
Lose track of the time, oh my, with good reason
To resist, growing reaches of early day, peaking through the window
Find reasons to be around a little longer
Love, keep me moving through the night, thoughts grow fonder
So remiss growing reaches of early day, peaking through the window
Wide awake, the day is coming around the bend
Like the faint, shimery voices in my head
I wish I knew what was stoking up this fire
They're closing in, the light burns brighter
Whispers becoming shouts, I can see so clearly now
I can see so clearly now that I been
Left alone in this empty house
Shape shifting again, turn into another
Kind, of social state of mind, lightning and thunder
Where they will hit, I don't know but I think they will show
Peaking through the window
Oh Lord only knows why I'm living life so
Carelessly, free of looming remorse
In the cover of night so that's why I resist
Early reaches of early day peaking through my window
Wide awake, the day is coming around the bend
Like the faint, shimery voices in my head
I wish I knew what was stoking up this fire
They're closing in, the light burns brighter
Whispers becoming shouts, I can see so clearly now
I can see so clearly now that I been
Left alone in this empty house
I can see so clearly now that I been
Left alone in this empty house
Wide awake, the day is coming around the bend
Like the faint, shimery voices in my head
I wish I knew what was stoking up this fire
They're closing in, the light burns brighter
Whispers becoming shouts, I can see so clearly now
I can see so clearly now that I been
Left alone in this empty house
I can see so clearly now that I been
Left alone in this empty house
Smooth talking your way through the evening
Lose track of the time, oh my, with good reason

Favorite Places
03:37
|
|||
Weather, when will it be warm again
I like to chase the sun to find its favorite places
Mine are lost out in the snow
Don't think I'll ever really know where to go
It's an awful long walk to the next city
It's been far too long since I've seen your pretty face
Though my feet are tired, well my thoughts are able
They'll carry me on my way even when those skies start turning gray
Weather, when will it be warm again
I like to chase the sun to find its favorite places
Mine are lost out in the snow
Don't think I'll ever really know where to go
I can't see no light, no moon tonight I'm riding blind
I feel the breeze is almost pushing me towards what I'm trying to find
The morning sun; will it ever come back once again
My thoughts are every place but here so far away, but awful clear
Weather, when will it be warm again
I like to chase the sun to find its favorite places
Mine are lost out in the snow
Don't think I'll ever really know where to
Weather, when will it be warm again
I like to chase the sun to find its favorite places
Mine are lost out in the snow
Don't think I'll ever really know where to go
