Hey There

hey there, take my hand
i have trouble standing on my own
its like these days, are the same
and cut my legs straight
through the bone
hey there, are you somewhere
that i can go to if i want?
not in my mind, on a high
but in the world of flesh and blood
hey there, my new friend
thanks for screwing on my head
it got lost, when i fell
but i think i'm thinking once again
hey there, take my hand
you have trouble standing on your own
is it like these days are all the same
and cut your legs straight
through the bone?

need a pill to feel okay
a car to get away
need weight off me this year
need the wild ways of the old frontier
but you know i'm golden
and i know where i'm going
need a crowd of people near
i build a wall
want an ocean grove to grow
need the laughter of a friend from home
but you know i'm golden
and i know where i'm going
if you're down on a frown and lonely
just pick up that phone and call me

Clearing the Ground

i bought some land
now i'm clearing the ground
headed out west
won't make sound
carried my kit to the top of the hill
polished my bow for the food i would kill
mr. lone wolf
years have have been falling
like leaves on the ground
never been lost, never been found
time ain't no chain
i bought some land
now i'm clearing the ground
headed out west
won't make sound

You come and you go
And I think that I know
How you feel about me
But I don’t
I stumble around
With my head in the clouds
And I feel like I’ll never
Come down
I shake and I twist
And I shiver like this
Hoping I can
Figure it out
Often I choke
on the post-Its you wrote
Stuck up sexy and sweet
So I know
You won’t go
To bed yet
Because I cant start talking to myself
Again
And don’t close
Your eyes yet
Because I hate when I’m awake
All alone
In a moment
You come and you go
And I’m out of control
So I drink and I think
And I smoke
You’re running around
Is keeping me down
And I know that I’ve got
To get out
We broke and we split
Like a continent drift
Now I’m weak and
I’m trying to tread
Often I choke
On the words that you spoke
In a house that is empty and cold
So don’t go
To bed yet
Because I cant start talking to myself
Again
And don’t close
Your eyes yet
Because I hate when I’m awake
All alone
In a moment
Take me away

Morning Sound
04:38
|

|
Have you ever dreamt all alone
In your bed in the black of night
Scared to wake up because
It seems so real?
The people you see, once your friends
Now your enemies
Chasing you down and you can’t get away
From your head
In this dream I’m asleep in a car
I’m not satisfied
There’s rain pouring down
And outside is a man
In the car I wake up
But he pulls out his gun
I can’t scream, I can’t run
I can’t scream, I cant’ run
I’m dead
But will someone
Just pull me back to life?
Because I’m only dreaming
My mind is moving
My body is paralyzed
I think I’m only sleeping
As I walk down the street
Seeing ghosts, hope this is a dream
I can’t connect with anything at all
Bite my tongue, close my eyes
Pull my hair, feel despair inside
My heart needs to skip a beat
As for now I’m not cool
Feel confused
Need to settle down
I’m crawling out
To morning sound
But will someone
Just pull me back to life?
Because I’m only dreaming
My mind is moving
My body is paralyzed
I think I’m only sleeping
Because…this lone life is one shrewd dream
Trapped in the hands of eternity
And every time I think, I’ll try to leave
It holds me down and makes me see
I’m alive

My Friend Fear

my friend fear, he tends to come around
everytime i'm on the turn around
pick me up and shove me underground
take your time, tear me to pieces
and i'll rebuild
it was an evening chill
out near the powerlines
can't stand still desperate like suicide
pick me up, i won't be hard to find
get here soon i'm falling to pieces
my friend fear, he tends to come around
anytime i try to move my mouth
keep me shut, keep talking to myself
anytime i try to release it, the silence kills
my friend fear, he tends to come around
everytime i'm on the turn around
pick me up and shove me underground
take your time, tear me to pieces
and i'll rebuild

when you get down
i'd like to lift you up
when i see you around, you're always in a rush
you send me a rush
i got two one-way tickets headed out of town
let me know if you wanna roll
my hometown, i don't miss it all that much
cuz when i got you around,
baby, you know how to fill me up
know how to lift me up
i got two one-way tickets headed out of town
let me know if you wanna roll
it's a night train leaving when the sun goes down
girl, we can be alone
so leave the light on, it's okay
riding through the darkness, on our way
i got my sights on, we'll be alright
hanging out forever, staying up all night
when you get down
i'd like to lift you up
when i see you around, you're always in a rush
you send me a rush

kill my heart and blow my mind
lately things just don't feel right
man, forget it all
i'll bide my time
on my own, what a sweet ride
the unknown, it waits for you
spark my soul, let it ignite
lead me toward an honest life
fill me with the holy light
match me in my modest stride
the unknown waits for you
if you don't know which way to go
just ride on through, do what you gotta do

i bought some land
now i'm clearing the ground
headed out west
won't make sound
carried my planks to the top of the hill
polished my bow for the food it should kill
mr. lone wolf
years have have been falling
like leaves on the ground
never been lost, never been found
time ain't no chain
i bought some land
now i'm clearing the ground
headed out west
won't make sound
