    Words that are spoken
    Can never be taken back
    Nothing in the past

    *****************************

    She once believed him
    Inside their shared prison cell
    Nothing in the well

    ******************************

    Looking for something
    Flies away into the sun
    Doesn't mean nothing

    *****************************

    One day she stiffened
    Over to the other side
    Empty stares still lied

    *****************************

    He forgets something
    Now destined to remember
    But it was nothing

    ******************************

    He walks on his own
    Thinks thoughts he can't help thinking
    Nothing man's sinking

    *******************************

    Cursed the day that's slow
    He caught a bolt of lightning
    Had to let it go
  • begging for a prayer,
    how can i quit to be there?
    can you see me now.

    Hard To Imagine
    Things were so different then
    This was way back when

    *********************************

    No one's safe from harm
    It's a tattered coat of arms
    Left here by the past

    *********************************

    The rise and the fall
    Never know just what they saw
    Thought they saw it all

    **********************************

    Paint you a picture
    Shaded and shrouded in gray
    Fire from yesterday

    **********************************

    It's hard to explain
    There must be a way somehow
    It's different now

    **********************************

    Forget tradition
    It's so Hard To Imagine
    Won't happen again

    Keep on keeping on
    Dream about getting along
    Awake dreaming on

    *******************************

    A punch to the head
    Smile big with a toothless grin
    My break's kicking in

    *********************************

    Supersonic gone
    Truth be told it took my soul
    Still won't let it go

    *********************************

    Supersonic goes
    Leaves rhythm but clocks run slow
    Don't need it I know

    **********************************

    Nothing I've been told
    Cut to the crease I'm the fold
    Put the shit in whole

    **********************************

    Gotta feel it now
    Living life with volume loud
    Need to hear the sound

    Whisper in my ear
    Still have time right now I'm here
    But not much longer

    ****************************************

    Don't have much to fear
    I'm still here the end is near
    Then I'll disappear

    ****************************************
    ****************************************

    If you stay with me
    I'll know I'm a lucky man
    Then we can just breathe

    Filled up with his past
    Half his life wasted away
    Needs love of a girl

    *****************************

    Drilled the pain alone
    Money buys a getaway
    Not love of a girl

    *****************************

    Fills his night with thoughts
    All about and Of The Girl
    Chose a heavy path

    ******************************

    Deals them off the top
    Before he's carried away
    Half life hand me downed

    *******************************

    Won't say he's empty
    Fills his life up with the thoughts
    Of love Of The Girl

    Bells are ringing out
    Waves crash then go on their way
    Others walked away

    ****************************************

    The Man Of The Hour
    He's taking his final bow
    His goodbye for now

    *****************************************

    The young men pretend
    Where the old men comprehend
    Gospel of the land

    ******************************************

    The whole town came down
    He's taking his final bow
    It's goodbye for now

    ******************************************

    Roads he paved for me
    Broken seams and rusted signs
    Shows love his own way

    *******************************************

    The curtain comes down
    The man takes his final bow
    Goodbye just for now

    Routine was the theme
    Never imagined being
    Moved by Sleight Of Hand

    ********************************

    Drifting on the side
    As if moved by Sleight Of Hand
    While dirt turned to sand

    *********************************

    No time waves goodbye
    More time to dream to himself
    On the other side

    **********************************

    Can't recall the plan
    Wandering just like a man
    Moved by Sleight Of Hand

    ***********************************

    When he reached the shore
    No new realizations
    In his clip-on world

    ***********************************

    A lost road he knew
    Like a book read in his sleep
    Endlessly by heart

    Synapse flash is slow
    The days pass where do they go
    Spend time while you can

    **************************************

    Resign just let go
    Realize there's no control
    Just let God's Dice roll

    **************************************

    There's no place to go
    Rusted minds will never know
    Try to walk away

    **************************************

    Pouring too much thought
    Down a hole it's overwrought
    Will finish us off

    **************************************

    Nothing in the cards
    It's driving your sanity
    Not your destiny

    **************************************

    When will God's Dice roll
    This monkey minded living
    Is taking its toll

    **************************************

    It's out of your hands
    You stumble as it crumbles
    Just beyond your grasp

    **************************************

    God's Dice designing
    Your life and will are riding
    On your resigning

    American dream
    Nothing in your bank for me
    I'm disbeleiving

    *******************************

    An unasked question
    Long Gone in a tail light fade
    Answer's far away

    *******************************

    This place brings me down
    I will be what I could be
    Away from this town

    *******************************
    Leave this all behind
    Long Gone letting go of all
    Won't look back this time

    *******************************

    This has no feeling
    Nothing is everything
    Then I'll have it all

    Quest we're taking on
    How to be happy and true
    Not one to presume

    *****************************

    Precious thing to bear
    The way she can reach my heart
    Right out of Thin Air

    ******************************

    Feelings that we share
    Only one can reach my heart
    Always know she's there

    *******************************

    Sun clutches the dawn
    Clouds reflected in our pond
    Where the water's calm

    *******************************

    One day in my arms
    A light will shine when she's there
    Appears in Thin Air

    I have been looking
    for this girl all over here
    but she hid away
    'I want to hurry home to you
    put on a slow, dumb show for you
    and crack you up
    so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
    god I'm very, very frightening
    and I'll overdo it'

    Be a human light
    It's an Inside Job today
    You'll be shown the way

    *****************************

    Run into the rain
    Rise and fix a broken soul
    To restore its whole

    ******************************

    You chose how you are
    Life comes from within your heart
    It's an Inside Job

    ******************************

    Make yourself a pact
    There's a greater way for all
    Keep your faith intact

    I can't find my wheels
    The light doesn't show you near
    Lost without you here

    **************************************

    This world goes nowhere
    Dark horse fields befriending me
    With a fear that breeds

    ***************************************

    Others run and hide
    I'm stuck on the Other Side
    I have to be there

    ***************************************

    Nothing is the same
    Breaking fast I need a lift
    Know I'd never quit

    ***************************************

    Noise in the quiet
    Your melodies in my ear
    Fade when you're not here

    City mind is gray
    Packing in and overgrown
    I'm hiding away

    *****************************

    Something we can't hold
    Standing in a hole alone
    Love is deep below

    *****************************

    Seen it all before
    The memories eat at me
    A Ghost doesn't bleed

    *****************************

    Flying like a Ghost
    I hear talk and old friends call
    Makes no sense at all

    Life is falling down
    Dies to be part of the ground
    Goes from root to stem

    **********************************

    Life is looking in
    Practicing an accident
    Upside to this down

    **********************************

    Big lie hits your eye
    Realize we're upside down
    A book you can't close

    **********************************

    Seeds on the deathbed
    Brown to black it's coming back
    Dig your own garden

    **********************************

    The world turns on love
    Cropduster sees the patterns
    From on high above

    When death comes around
    Can't depend on tomorrow
    Forced to hear death's song

    *********************************

    Why invite darkness
    Sad song doesn't have to play
    Why just go halfway

    *********************************

    Home inside your head
    Locked door mess of unmade beds
    Sores you don't attend

    *********************************

    Too weak to be strong
    Say there's always something wrong
    Your plan all along

    *********************************

    Harder on your self
    Leave the pain for someone else
    World waits up the stairs

    *********************************

    Faced a Life Wasted
    Never going back again
    Escape erased it

    *********************************

    Taste a Life Wasted
    Warm with negativity
    Comfort's energy

    *********************************

    There's nothing back there
    Did you leave yourself behind
    There for you to find

    Searching the haystacks
    Wanted To Get Right with it
    Get it right with you

    ********************************

    Wait for the moment
    For the moment between us
    You'll swear if you must

    ********************************

    The fire is made now
    Too hot it's harder to touch
    Waiting for sundown

    ********************************

    Dreg society
    Underbelly beside me
    I'm following thee

    ********************************

    Wanted To Get Right
    Turn water into sunshine
    Get with it with you

    ********************************

    Each day's a parade
    Still need a way to feel right
    Get it right with you

    Starting to believe
    This hopeless situation
    Trying to achieve

    ****************************

    It's our destiny
    Be the one we've been before
    Leads you back to war

    *****************************

    Keep on running on
    It's got to be All Or None
    Surrender to one

    It's been a while since
    That last night we spoke of this
    But I can't forget

    How you looked at me
    With those lonely lazy eyes
    You have yet to leave
    'I want to hurry home to you
    put on a slow, dumb show for you
    and crack you up
    so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
    god I'm very, very frightening
    and I'll overdo it'
