Siren Song I
01:14
|
|
||
|
What’s lost cannot be found
Or so I’ve told myself
I hear the Siren Song
Calling my name again
My lonely days are haunting
They’re calling me back home
My lonely days are haunting
They’re calling me back home

Dead Skull Parade
02:25
|
|
||
|
In the dead of night I can hear them sing
It won’t be long until you’re in that grave
Won’t you come along and follow me this way
And join the song of the dead skull parade
Well maybe we’re already dead
But the summer is still so sweet
Who knows what happens in the afterlife
Who knows, maybe we’re already dead
You’ve gotta give up
Chalk up
Most of your life as a loss
To a purpose of being alive
I said “hey man is this how you wanted to die?
Do you hate it? If you hate it, then why do you try?”
Cause maybe we’re already dead
But the summer is still so sweet
Who knows what happens in the afterlife
Who knows maybe we’re already dead
Just carry on

Body Against The Wall
02:56
|
|

I’m caught up
They’ve got my body against the wall
They said you’ve gotta trade it in
Before you can move on
All my shadows cast the same
With not much left to prove
No past left to blame
All my life spent in a daze
But I see clearly now
through all of my mistakes
and oh it’s time for a change
and you know
things are getting good
so don’t blow it
They’ve got my body against the wall
If I’m gonna get outta here
I guess I’ll have to crawl
Half of my life spent in the dog days
Half of my life was climbing out
You should’ve seen me back then
A shell of a man
A proper host to other peoples plans
And oh it’s time for a change
And you know
Things are getting good
So don’t blow it
I just spent too many years
Of blood sweat and so many tears
To wind up broke and dead out here
I’m caught up

Firefly

|

Let’s go!
You make my eyes go wide
Whenever I see you walk in the room
I know it’s hard to find
A love like this that fits us so well
You were like a firefly
If I could catch you in the palm of my hand
I’d be so out of mind
That I don’t even think I’d know what to do
And then the stars align
And everything I ever wanted came true
And Ohhh ain’t it about time we took it to knee
You might as well
Cause you ain’t never gonna find another like me
And ohhh ain’t it about time you took me away
Where do we go from here?
I keep my arms a swinging
Cause I don’t ever want to stop dancing with you
Though you could tell me I look like a fool and you’re embarrassing me
But she’s got that look in her eye
Like she don’t care and she wants to stay here with me
All night
Well you’re my baby and that’s a fact
You took my heart I don’t want it back
You drive me crazy and that’s alright
I caught you baby and I won’t let you go

Get Up
02:55

Ba Da da dada da da dot da
Get up!
If I found money
On the floor
I’d shake that honey
And rain would pour but I found rhythm
And now now now you can’t take it from me
If I found others
Just like me
There ain’t no stopping
what would be one hell of a party
and now now now you’ve gotta come with me
and GET UP!
Cause there’s so many others
So many others like me
Get UP!
Cause there’s so many others
So many others out here
I’ve been lying
To myself
I’ve got rhythm
That I won’t show to no one else
And now now now that I’ve lost control
There’s no ceiling
There’s no roof
There’s no feeling higher than youth
And I can’t fight it
No No No I can’t fight no more
Get Up!
But you’ve gotta get over yourself
You’ve gotta get over yourself
You’ve gotta get over yourself

The Exit
03:43
|
|
||
|
I passed the exit on my way home
I started thinking bout
The places we could roam
If I kept rolling on for days
Til I’ve run out of money
and we go our separate ways
out in the graces of the south
I sure can pour the whiskey
But I can’t outrun my mouth
Two weeks I’d give it til I’m burned out
Broke down and barely able to speak unbroken sounds
And all I’d think about is you
And what we could have been
If only we stuck through
But I passed that exit on my way home
I passed that exit on my way home
It was all I had to do
At least it always seems that way
No matter what road I take
It was always one exit away
I passed the bar on my way home
I started thinking about
The songs I could’ve wrote
If I kept rolling on for days
And slept on hardwood floors
And maybe I’d get paid
Out on the highways to the west
Id finally realize it was probably for the best
Gonna lift myself out of this cage
Even though I know what it takes
You were there when I was in shakes
Maybe home ain’t so far away
Maybe home ain’t so far away
Maybe home ain’t so far away

Til The River's Red
03:21
|
|

|
Waiting down by the river
Standing in torn shoes
No one knows their neighbors
Are watching you
I’ve made a few bad decisions
Hard to know whats wrong or right
And I’ve got an awful feeling
It’s gonna be me tonight
The bad moon is arising
And they can taste your blood
The bad moon is arising
And they can taste your blood
How many times did I warn you
but you don’t hear what I said
now no prayer can save you
when they tear off your head
this is a town of evil
generations sold their deed
protected from the outside
with their sacrificial seed
the bad moon is arising
and they can taste your blood
run, run, run, run
well there’s a full moon coming in
you can feel under your skin
your hair crawling in the wind
is it time to kill again?
When they hunt down little kids
You know the best behaved will live
Cause where the good ones lay their heads
The werewolves never tread
You won’t believe it til the rivers red

Easy Won't
03:24
|
|
||
|
I wish I could tell you
There’s an end to the pain
I wish I could say
It won’t happen again
But I won’t
I don’t dare tell a lie
I wish every cloud was lined
With silver and gold
But some things just don’t turn out
the way you were sold
and I’m sorry
I don’t dare tell a lie
Easy won’t happen
Or last long
For every man taken
By fortune and greed
Another has broken
and humbled his needs
it’s the same
how both of them will die
a plagiarist story of how men can succeed
he thinks he’s invincible
pretends he don’t bleed
and I bet
you’d be surprised
easy wont happen
or last long
beat by the rhythms
that are pounding in my head
you’ve gotta make that living
until you’re dead
should’ve been easy
but it never really is
you’ve got one thing holding
you never did
because easy won’t
happen or last long

Darlin, Darlin, Darlin
04:36

Well I woke up on the wrong side of the bed
There’s things last night I wish I would have said
I believe I might have seen the end of my rope
I almost wrapped my hands around your throat
But there’s no comfort in knowing your day will come
I wanna see you with my own two eyes undone
Cause I’ve got losers on my left
And beggars on my right
And I don’t have a clue which one is worth the fight
And I’m just stewing
I’m gonna wind up in jail
The way tonight is going
I’m gonna sleep inside a cell
If I don’t change my evil ways
But it feels too good to be bad
And I’m a son of a bitch tonight
Oooh darling darling darling
Won’t you make me a better man
Before the whiskey whiskey whiskey
Takes control of my hands
I’m gonna wind up in jail
The way tonight is going
But it feels too good to be bad
And I’m a son of a bitch tonight
Well I feel the anger boiling in my blood
When I get mad boy you better run
My lady stopped me quick before it all
She said can’t you read the writing on the wall
There’s only one way that this will end
And it’s something that I sure don’t recommend
But I know it’s got you brewing

Skeletons
04:29

All my friends got skeletons
Some you fear will never change
All my friends got skeletons
There’ll be no words until we’re dead
Well you know where I’ve been all these years
And you know all my sins and fails and fears
We were young and dumb and crazy
But we’re no longer kids
Those times are better off to disappear
Cause we’re the dominoes of Ohio
Take one down and take the rest down too
Sometimes I wonder what secrets they all know
And what they won’t say to save your heart and your soul
Part of me wants to hear the worst of it all
And part of me thinks its better not to know
Cause we’re the dominoes of Ohio
Take one down and take the rest down too
All my friends got skeletons
Some you fear will never change
And all my friends got skeletons
There’ll be no words until we’re dead

Siren Song II
04:31

|

In the summer of 94’
My search for something more
“I will make it to the top
Or not at all”
For every castle that I built
made of sand and not on stilts
Was washed away by my own pride
And then one day you let it go
you’ve been fighting for so long
you cant help it it calls your name
the siren song
for every moon that seems to line up
another one hides the first
you give it one more try
the siren song
woah ooh the siren song
too many hearts have been taken by the sun
the horizon seems like it’s always coming up
you hear whispers in the wind and write em down
you think there’s something in the air you might have found
I’d hold my breath so she can’t hear me coming round
I feel I’m closer, closer to the sound
My lonely days are haunting me they’re calling me
My lonely days are haunting me they’re calling me
