I used to think that I was here To change the world That I was made for greater things But now I see that it's the small, tender times that I hold dear And the peace it brings Now I know why I am here. I used to love to play to crowds all around the world thousands of faces singing along looking up at me Now I sing in smaller rooms for my biggest fans I play all my greatest hits an intimate show for three Now I know why I am here. After all I've seen and done after all that I've achieved my greatest accomplishments are sitting in front of me Now I know why I am here.

Woke up this morning to a haze that ain’t there I got a 2 by 4 that’s stuck in my hair I’m playing records that ain’t got no grooves I’m spending credit cards that no one approves Monkeys in a jungle Ride the ferris wheel I’m leaving my demons behind Yeh I Don’t want ‘em tailin’ me* I’m readin’ between the lines I don’t hear what they say to me I’m servin em tales in kind But they don’t want to let me be Don’t want it I’m gonna leave all my demons behind I spend a minute to buy a whole day Start the engine and I drive away The champagne cork hits you in the eye They ain’t no hook on this fishin line --- Questions ain’t the answer Illusion of a dream I’m leaving my demons behind Yeh I Don’t want ‘em tailin’ me I’m readin’ between the lines I don’t hear what they say to me I’m servin em tales in kind But they don’t want to let me be Don’t want it I’m gonna leave all my demons behind Swimmin upstream You know what I mean I ain’t gonna play for this team Thanksgivin’ cactus only blooms in the dark Don’t need no preacher cause I know my part Life is but a number Beads upon a string I’m leaving my demons behind Yeh I Don’t want ‘em tailin’ me I’m readin’ between the lines I don’t hear what they say to me I’m leaving my demons behind Yeh I hope they don’t follow me I’m servin em tales in kind But they don’t want to let me be I’m leaving my demons behind Yeh I hope they don’t follow me Don’t want it I’m gonna leave all my demons behind

We never know how much time we have. Write the song that says what you want to leave behind. Unbreakable I leave you with this song For you to know My love for you will always carry on, it’s… Unbreakable, unbreakable Before you came along, I felt just fine Was living life alone but it was mine Then you came and took my heart away Before I go there’s something I must say Unbreakable I leave you with this song For you to know My love for you will always carry on, it’s… Unbreakable, unbreakable It’s always been the truth, not hard to read Make sure that you have everything you need We always know our time will come someday Before I go there something that I must say Unbreakable I leave you with this song For you to know My love for you will always carry on, it’s… Unbreakable, unbreakable

Poured my coffee strong today You’d be half of the way
to the Keys But for me Dishes piled up in the sink On the brink of remembering a song the tune’s all wrong I’ll hear you on the radio Don’t forget me when I go The general lays his saber down On the fields where we drown
in our shame
pass the flame
they named the river for the flood
spilled their blood in the soil Flowed like wine
through crooked lines With walls as sound as Jericho Don’t forget me when I go And when you’re back the patience is the proof Let’s sit and watch the fireflies from the roof where you gone, say I don’t know Don’t forget me when I go

BROKEN DREAMS IN A PLASTIC CUP WORN OUT WORDS IN AN OLD SHOE BOX HAND ME DOWNS IN A SECOND HAND STORE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE THIRD WORLD WAR I WILL LEAVE BEHIND ALL THE THINGS LEFT TO BE LEFT BEHIND A PILE OF MEMORIES IN AN EMPTY LOT A BUNCH OF MEMORIES THAT TIME FORGOT THERE ARE ZOMBIES WAITING OUTSIDE DOOR THERE ARE ZOMBIES LOOKING FOR MORE I WILL LEAVE BEHIND ALL THE THINGS LEFT TO BE LEFT BEHIND I DO RECALL A PLACE IN THE SUN A PLACE OF LOVE AND A PLACE OF LAUGHTER AND EVERYONE WAS AT THE FEAST AND EVERYONE WAS HAPPY EVER AFTER I WILL LEAVE BEHIND ALL THE THINGS LEFT TO BE LEFT BEHIND

What’s gonna be my legacy What’s gonna last for posterity Got some songs some are shitty Production sounding like early Whitney Uh, coming with the breakdown what With the breakdown yeah Uh, coming with the breakdown what With the breakdown yeah What’s gonna be my legacy What’s gonna last for posterity Got some songs some are shitty Production sounding like early Whitney Let’s get weird, postemodern Who really gives a fuck They can’t all be winners Might as well try my luck Place something here that’s kinda weird Vincent Pricey, *cackle badly* What’s gonna be my legacy What’s gonna last for posterity Got some songs some are shitty This ones real bad, know what I mean?

Like diving in for a swim Or careless mud on my feet Driving down the road waving at everyone you meet Knowing that I’ve my done my best In pursuit of happiness I’ll bid you, adieu Here’s to a party, and a good ‘Ol time Celebrating all we had, give me peace of mind Hat’s off to y’all, I’ve had a ball Wherever I am going, I just want to leave the love Don’t put me in the ground Throw my ashes in the air And take the difference with you on your way out of town Knowing that I’ve my done my best In pursuit of happiness I’ll bid you, adieu Here’s to a party, and a good ‘Ol time Celebrating all we had, give me peace of mind Hat’s off to y’all, I’ve had a ball Wherever I am going, I just want to leave the love
