I've been hanging on the wrong side of the tracks
I've been waiting for the old man to cut me some slack
I've been running from the long arm of the law
Twenty years old and I know I have it all
Why won't you set me free
This town is killing me
Why don't you set me free
I've been sleeping where the sun don't ever shine
I've been selling my soul just to pass the time
I've been doing some things that would make you cry
Every little word I say is a big ole lie
Why won't you set me free
This town is killing me
Why don't you set me free
I've been losing the shimmer in your eyes
I've been heading down this hole with no goodbyes
I've been a slave to the bottle and a wicked knife
I lie here dying in this alley what a wonderful life
Why won't you set me free
This town is killing me
Oh God set me free

Blue blue moon black river
Gone too soon carry me home
V1
Made my wish on a fallen star
Broken glass and shattered dreams
Waste away the winnings, it seems
Seven times and seven lessons
Learned each one the hard way
Desperate for a little sun today
Thought I was doing gods work
Turns out I was just a jerk
V2
Romantic walks in quicksand Candlelight regards
Shocked and shackled
Roulet booze and cards
New Orleans was good to me
Til her mood turned red
Devils in the details good as dead
Thought that I could handle it
Turns out I was full of shit
Outrro
When it all goes black
When it all goes black
No turning back
When it all goes black

Wont' you step down on me and my shovel
lets see where this little thing goes again
turn on your red lights I'm jumping now
you just keep blowing the dust under my skin
Call the collector I think I'm a struggle
With all the fishes is where I love to swim
Don't call me names no more don't call me names no
Down below is where you belong in the end
So much to talk about yes I know
It's been a long day
we're still lifting the soil and dirt that we moved
Come back to me now ,Come back to me now
I'm a dumb dirty fool
Won't you step down on me and my shovel
feel the fresh dirt separate beneath your skin
Back in the crows nest when I was a child
we were digging for worms deeper than any man could go
So much to talk about yes I know
It's been a long day now
we're still lifting the soil and dirt that we moved
Come back to me now Come back to me now
You closed minded fool

I told my dreams they have changed,
no they didn't take it so good.
"What do you mean there is a bottom to the sea?
Are you sure you did all that you could?"
I said it's a combination of so many things,
I don't expect you to understand.
Youthful dreams are allowed to change
and fantasies are made of sand.
Fantasies are made of sand.
Now that you are like everyone else, what will you do?
How can you not be your self,
The only self you knew?
There is irony in everything and everything is the same.
There is irony in everything and everything is the same.
You told your love they were not your love and felt the weight of the world dissolve.
It's took years to find the courage
it took the years to evolve.
Is it worth being alone
to not have to pretend?
Loneliness is as bad as it sounds
When satisfaction can never be found
When satisfaction can never be found
There is irony in everything and everything is the same.
There is irony in everything and everything is the same.

Ran to the ocean, swallowed me
Lost my devotion
Fell off the mountain, deep ravine
Lost in the counting
Dig your roots in, watch how far you reach
Rain down these blessings rain on me
Tender the coffers
Don't play so foolish, like you don't see
'Dya think you were ready?
Step on up, boy, show us what you learned
Here's the place where I get off
Going home this time
Soul and grace may cut these cloths
Roots alone make rhymes

No air beneath us
No air between us
Nowhere inside us
No one to guide us
Waiting for someone to fall
Watching for summer, that's all
Watching & waiting, anticipating
Your love for the sake of the call
No time to walk out
No rhyme for fall out
No one to guide us
Waiting for someone to fall
Watching for summer, that's all
Watching & waiting, anticipating
Your love for the sake of the call
Once more with feeling
One last beginning
Waiting for someone to fall
Watching for summer, that's all
Watching & waiting, anticipating
Your love for the sake of the call

Unravel
I'm a light. At the end of a tunnel
Shaking from the cold
Way down deep in my bones
Can't make it through
I'm a puzzle. Sitting on a shelf
Waiting for the embrace of
Another lonely soul
Put me back together
I am a land mine. Laying in the jungle
Long since forgotten
Roots grow deep
As long as I sleep
I'm a dream. Stuck in a memory
That shuffles on repeat
Bursts of life unconsciously
Like a bee stings
You brought me here
Left me for good to rot in a pit
Led me with promises
As you slowly sank in your teeth
Should have known from the dark around your eyes
You were telling me lies, telling me lies
Getting sicker and sicker the air growing thicker
I can't breathe
Beating my way out
Won't let me win
No where to go from here
I simply disappear
Like I was never here
Unravel like twine
The end of time
I am a nothing
