New Wave Blues

Download Song

If you go out in the rain
and you stand there waiting for the pain
to heal your soul you'll feel
that its alright to open your arms
lean back as it all pours down your face
you feel like the new wave blues

I used a hide and stay inside
till the morning sun would shine through my blinds
and wake me up

Like the stars up in the sky
its not like me to burn out so easily or fade away

I used a hide and stay inside
till the morning sun would shine through my blinds
and wake me up

How can you sleep when you know the world is weak

I used a hide and stay inside
till the morning sun would shine through my blinds
and wake me up
wont you wake me up

Bending Over Backwards

Download Song

Walking in the dark will get you nowhere.
When will we learn we rely on the light we use?
to brighten our days I‚m dizzy, in a haze‚
are we content with the modern day prize?

I want to save you
So you can save me
I'm bending over backwards for you
So won't you save me?

When in doubt you can always think twice
Didn't you remember your best friends advice?

I want to save you
So you can save me
I'm bending over backwards for you
So won't you save me?

Sleeping on the couch, I never thought I'd live without
A kiss goodnight, the late night fights ‚ it's all fun and games, till someone gets hurt

Thank You Note

Download Song

To all my friends and all my acquaintances
I wanted share my feelings with you
cuz you never know when it's your time to go
this isn't goodbye but more like a thank you note

Sometimes i feel like i'm invincible
I wear this shield of honor and pride
cuz you never know when it's your time to go
this isn't goodbye, it's more like a thank you note.

Thanks for being my friend
Thanks for sharing your life with me
Although I wish it was, it ain't easy

Thanks for making me laugh
When I didn't feel like smiling
Thanks for taking the time to get to know me

Because of you, I will survive
I'll keep fighting everyday that I'm alive
I have to write this down before I die
we are running out of time...

Thanks for being my friend
Thanks for sharing your life with me
Although I wish it was, it ain't easy

Thanks for making me laugh
When i didn't feel like smiling
Thanks for taking the time
To get to know me.

Thanks for making me laugh
When I didn't feel like smiling
Thanks for taking the time
To get to know me

Thanks for being my friend
Thanks for sharing your life with me
Although I wish it was, it ain't easy

Thanks for making me laugh
When I didn't feel like smiling
Thanks for taking the time
To get to know me

Please Come Home

Download Song

I've been here for 24 years but I never really got the chance
To figure out who you are and where you came from
Where did you come from?

So I pick up my phone and try to talk to you
Instead I talk to your answering machine
But you're not home, I'm alone and it bothers me
Now I know what it is to miss you

Living life day to day, don't it start to bring you down?
You walk to work at half past 8 don't it start to bring you down?
Don't it start to bring you down?

So I pick up my phone and try to talk to you
Instead I talk to your answering machine
But you're not home, I'm alone and it bothers me
Now I know what it is to miss you

Everyday (is as bad as monday)



I think I'll skip breakfast today
hit snooze one more time
while the shroud fights off the draft
like two boxers in a ring

I slam the door darting outward for the train
picking up speed to avoid being prayed.

I line up single file and heard to the back
grounded by the pole that holds me, to the pack
To the pack
To the pack

What I put off friday has piled on my desk
which in turn feeds the aching in my head

No dollar amount will ever equal what I'm worth
Everyday is as bad as monday, but today seems worse
Today seems worse
Today seems worse
Today seems worse

Never gonna Never gonna give in No I'll keep fighting till' the bitter end
I'm never gonna, never gonna give in

Maybe I'm spoiled because I know what I want
But I've been training to hard to lose this fight

I'll never give up until you give in
I'll never give up so give in

I'll never give up until you give in
I'll never give up so give in

I'll never give up until you give in
I'll never give up so give in

I'll never give up until you give in
I'll never give up so give in

I'll never give up until you give in
I'll never give up so give in

I'll never give up until you give in
I'll never give up so give in

Trepidation

Download Song

Time is never on my side
I always seem to be a beat behind
Getting Cut While I wait in line
I'm a soldier on the front line waiting to die

I think I'll lay in bed all day
This isn't the way I dreamt it would be
I cover my eyes so it's hard to see
When preparation meets opportunity

For Trepidation has set in
I'm fearing the worst from my hospital bed
I'm numb from all the distractions now
I stand before you with no way out

Way of base and it's getting late
I'm not so sure I can live this way
I wish I could spend the night
But the voices in my head are clear as day
They Say
Take your time
There's no rush
No one will miss you if you don't come back
Break The Rules
You're the boss
Sooner or later you'll be back on track

For Trepidation has set in
I'm fearing the worst from my hospital bed
I'm numb from all the distractions now
I stand before you with no way out

For Trepidation has set in
I'm fearing the worst from my hospital bed
I'm numb from all the distractions now
I stand before you with no way out

I Want out
I want out
I want out


For Trepidation has set in
I'm fearing the worst from my hospital bed
I'm numb from all the distractions now
I stand before you with no way out

Trepidation has set in
I'm fearing the worst from my hospital bed
I'm numb from all the distractions now
I stand before you with no way out

I Want out
I want out
I want out

I Want out
I want out
I want out

Download Song

Let's head home.
Hunny not so fast
Hold up a second let's throw away some cash
Shiny flecks at my feet
Fifteen thousand or three?
It's a 1 in 4 chance


Chopping bock whose turn to go
Nothing personal man it's the big guys you know
They take my paycheck for wine
I guess I'll collect for a while

It's a 1 in 4 chance
It's a 1 in 4 chance
Even though we may not make it
It's a risk and we've got to take it

It's noon when I wake and I can't see straight
It's all black and it's white and it's shades of grey
I won't continue this line
It keep getting worse with time.

It's a 1 in 4 chance
It's a 1 in 4 chance
Even though we may not make it
It's a risk and we've got to take it

I'm sorry that you have to hear this
Doc said it's a 1 in 4 chance
That it jams your head when you try to dance
Just shake your head
I'm sorry that you have to hear this
Doc said it's a 1 in 4 chance
That it jams your head when you try to dance
Just shake your head if you understand
Yeah it jams your head when you try to dance

It's a 1 in 4 chance
It's a 1 in 4 chance
Even though we may not make it
It's a risk and we'vee got to take it

Fighting a War

Download Song

We started strong, but it wasn't long
Before your feelings showed, and you left me in the cold
I'm fighting a war I will never win
So I'm done trying, I'm handing in my amo

I'm losing you, where are you?
You've got to let me know
Should I abandon you and leave you?
Tell me what to do

You lied to my face and now I must replace you
yeah you tried, but I'm afraid you let me down
So it's no surprise I feel as though I'm

Losing you, where are you?
You've got to let me know
Should I abandon you and leave you?
Tell me what to do

The Lady

Download Song

Time slips away when the Lady grabs your arm
she does no harm it only calms you down

As I walk outside I slip away
the only thing I've even known
I'm a giraffe out in a field

As I slip into this state I realize my fate and it makes wonder how I ended up here in place

In my old age I wait for the sun to shine down
so sticky sweet, like the desert sun on my skin
I wait at the gates for Jimi

All i have is up for grabs it's all at stake with twisted spoons and broken veins lifted dreams and pulled down shades.

Time slips away when the Lady grabs your arm
she does no harm it only calms you down

Time slips away when the Lady grabs your arm
she does no harm it only calms you down

Lose You

Download Song

Well its days like these
I drop to my knees
and ponder about my ways
did i step out of line
by changing your mind
perhaps i was out of place

You can ask me to stop if I'm not what you thought
I don't want to let you down
like i did in the past
this years gone by fast
tell me you'll stick around

I don't want to lose you

I will change my ways and watch what i say
loving you day to day
it is you i adore
I need not say more
I won't let you walk away

I don't want to lose you

Better Now

Download Song

I feel so much better, I feel better now
everything is right, everything is just right

Sleep my darling don't you cry
I'll be here when the sun rises

Sleep my darling don't you frown
I'll be there when the sun goes down

I feel so much better, I feel better now
everything is right, everything is just right

Sleep my darling don't you cry
dream of things better than we have it here on earth

Rest my darling time to sleep
things aren't as bad as they seem

I feel so much better, I feel better now
everything is right, everything is just right

Do or Die

Download Song

Waller and 5th
  Is a dim lit scene
  Fickle and green
They're mischiefing
  They said "hey man nice duds!"
But I once was young
And I was just like you
You thought you knew it when you were younger
You thought you knew it but you didn't know a thing


I stumbled in
  With news and a grin
Same t-shirt and jeans
As yesterday
But it's all the same
  To me these days

You thought you knew it when you were younger
You thought you knew it but you didn't know a thing

Look around its Do or Die
Your favorite drink went dry
  Lately it's less of the do
And more of the die

Forever and Ever

Download Song

Deep beneath the rolling waves
Or far away in Concrete Caves
  We will search the land for light
Abolish this vexatious night

If your world turns black
And your nighttime lasts
Where ever I’ll follow you
Forever and ever
Forever and ever

Ghosts appear across the room
Guiding me through crepuscule

If your world turns black
And your nighttime lasts
Where ever I’ll follow you
Forever and ever
Forever and ever

Tied a Knot

Download Song

Tied a knot but the knot came loose
  Almost tripped over my shoe lace
Chasing you 
Chasing you through the fields 
Kicking dirt and rubbing heels 

Nighttime coming much too soon 
All we have is the light from the moon 
Run with me

 

Run with me till we can't breath
  Its getting late but we don't need sleep
  Do we?

Missed the train for a second time
Lost my nerve and almost lost my mind
Thank God I didn't 

It's so hard, but i won't give in
Help me up, I've been sitting much too long
Help me up, I've been sitting much too long
But i'll see it through
Just for you

Mr. Mister

Download Song

We've got to get out of here
You're no longer safe
You've no one to confide in
You've exhausted all your faith

 

Do you miss me Mr. Mister?
Can you laugh like you used to?

Drunken midnight fire light
Fists flying through the air 
Crowds gather to my right
Another late night fight

Do you miss me Mr. Mister?
Can you laugh like you want to?
Are you tongue tied and dreary?
  Can you hear me at all?

Loaded

Download Song

Life is so wonderful, everything goes my way
I came from a wonderful family with plenty of food to eat
So why can't I fall asleep tonight? 
Why do I walk the streets at night loaded?
I'm loaded again 
You can drag me where you will 
take the wheel back for a while.

I watched a cloud today
Fade away into the sun
Soiled, forgotten but content
Mystical and heaven sent 

Loaded, I'm loaded again 
you can drag me where you will 
take the wheel back for a while
Over, and over again
I was dragged against my will 
and I'm not ever coming back 

Loaded, I'm feeling low
this is where I go when i can't be at home.

Shotguns and Booze

Download Song

When they spoke to me,
  In uniform 
My heart touched the ground
My hands, they were shaking 
And theres still family waiting
  To hear the news
With their shotguns and booze

 

Time hasn't healed the wounds
  But they said that it would
With God by my side and the cross that buried him alive

I remember the night 
We fought for your life
You clenched you fist 
And aimed it at the sky
You said "I'll never let them take me alive." 

I Think It's Time (you got over yourself) 

Download Song

If you knew me when she knew me
You might think that I was kind.
  If you knew me when she knew me
You might enjoy my company.

The distance seems to break the silence
Words and fashion blend as one
This fast pace world we're living in
Turned a walk into a run. 

So face it, everyone can tell
I think it's time you got over yourself. 

Digital camera to my soul 
Thought you lost me years ago
I read a letter that you wrote
In another life time i suppose.

So face it, everyone can tell 
I think its time you got over yourself.

Feel It.

Download Song

I'll sing you a lullaby 
Mid-afternoon. 
I'm not like these other guys 
Who come to soon.
I'll fight the temptation 
With a wooden spoon.
And say that I promise 
I'll have you home by noon. 

But then you make it seem so real 
You're only as guilty as you feel.

If you go to Levee, 
I'll change the lock on the door.
Sticky fingers passing by
As the tables turn.

But then made it seem so real 
You're only as guilty as you feel
Oh you just make it seem so real 
You're only as guilty as you feel
So feel it, feel it, feel it!

Longtime Running

Download Song

Time made pain into a gun
Shooting rounds off one by one
Toward everyone close-at-hand

In talks of shun and time estranged
You helped no one but yourself
But I gotta let that go

I spent a long time hustling trying to gain something
A long time running and still I got nothing
But at least I know, not to count on you


Thinking ‘bout the time you spent
Holding this over my head
Judging me in vagary

So think of this as the end
Like fallen leaves on the terrain
Distancing you and me

I spent a long time hustling trying to gain something
A long time running and still I got nothing
At least I know, not to count on you
I don’t wanna cause a scene at times like these
When we disagree it’s hard to believe 
But at least I know, not to count on you

Abandon Ship

Download Song

Orion dons his belt
As useless as this ship
The frozen night is enveloping

As your walls come down
Panic amidst screams
Rich folks Scurrying

Abandon ship
Abandon ship
Abandon ship

Prayers from a young nun
Comforting the pain
Pulling down the hull
Tie me to the rail

Suspended in a sunbeam
Miniature dreams
Aggregated waste
On a speck in space

Abandon ship
Abandon ship
This one time criminal mind
Left Abandoning

Abandon ship
I can’t believe this
Trying to get me a lifeboat
Less covenant

Everything Has Changed

Download Song

Nate and me, do our thing, funning in the summer
We're throwing stones until September

At opposite ends, we're trapped by a fence
  Of new people
Who will do anything to be in the scene.

My hands are shaking and my throat is numb
I can't remember a time I had this much fun

Everything has changed
It will never be the same 
Should I leave my new ways? 

You're still the same, play the same old game
While your mama cooks you dinner
I forget what it taste like
  I've lost my appetite
Blew all my cash 
And once again, I've managed to stay up all night

Everything has changed
It will never be the same 
should I leave my new ways
