“This rather simple epitaph can save your hide, your falling mind
Fate isn’t what we’re up against there’s no design, no flaws to find”
“In truth the forest hears each sound
Each blade of grass as it lies down
The world requires no audience
No witnesses, no witnesses”
“Dumbed down and numbed by time and age
Your dreams the catch, the world the cage
The highway sets the traveler’s stage
All exits look the same”
“Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you’ll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast”
“I met a man today and he smiled back at me
Now there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet, that keep me on my feet.”
“Call it one drink too many
Call it pride of a man
But it don’t make no difference if you sit or you stand
‘Cause they both end in trouble and start with a grin”
“Your clever eyes could easily disguise
Some backwards purpose
It’s enough to make me nervous.
Do you harbor sighs, or spit in my eye”
“Oh and I’ve been looking since the day, since the day you parted,
But you don’t find happiness when you’re searching for it,
And I might of realized, I was wasting precious time, but I never had the chance to change the battery’s in my watch.
“Howling ghosts they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you’re a king and I’m a lionheart.
So hold on.
Hold on to what we are.
Hold on to your heart.”
“A whirlwind came into my life and he tried to rescue me
will you come, will you go
will you tell seriously”
“Take hold of my hand
And I’ll do what I can
To make everything right
At least for tonight”
“You’ll never sink when you are with me, oh Lord, like the Dead Sea
Woah I’m like the Dead Sea, the finest words you ever said to me,
Honey can’t you see, I was born to be, be your Dead Sea”
“You can take the sunshine, I can take the moonshine
You can take the high road, I can take the low
but later in the evening the one thing I believe in is
I’m on the road to ruin it’s the only way to go”
“Lend me your hand and we’ll conquer them all
But lend me your heart and I’ll just let you fall
Lend me your eyes I can change what you see
But your soul you must keep, totally free
In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
And where you invest your love, you invest your life”
“In the leaves where the trees grow like water in the sea
Nature speaks to me
Something salty, Something sweet
I am naked in the dark
With my eyelids shining like flashlights
In the mist of our dirty playtime
And for the meantime
We are echoes of spring time”
“Lying in your attic
I can feel the static
The storm has broken, Heavens open
So electrifying, Oh I’m nearly flying
Lost my heart between
the sheets of lightening”
“Twisting burning, my thoughts turning, back to you again
Sweet thing, take me to the end”
“I’ve lusted for love but lust is so blind
And trust for a heart is a hard thing to find
But what’s left of yours might help to heal mine”
“I hope that I don’t sound too insane when I say
There is darkness all around us
I don’t feel weak but I do need sometimes for her to protect me
And reconnect me to the beauty that I’m missing”
“Last night I dreamt the whole night long
I woke with a head full of songs
I spent the whole day
I wrote ‘em down but its a shame
tonight I’ll burn the lyrics
cause every chorus was your name”
“And all the stars were crashing ’round
As I laid eyes on what I’d found
Now I helped her
And I dressed her wounds
And how I held her
Beneath the rising moon
And she stood to fly
And she stood to fly away”
“And if you don’t love me let me go
And if you don’t love me let me go
And I am a writer, writer of fictions
I am the heart that you call home
And I’ve written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
I am a writer, I am all that you have home”
“Without you I don’t have…
A place that’s safe from all the monsters
That hide in my head and sing me to sleep”
“After it was done when there was nothing left to be
Turned out I’d been following him and he’d been following me
After it was done after it was over
We were just two lovers crying on each other’s shoulder”
“Although maybe all these moments are just in my head
I’ll be thinking ‘bout them as I’m lying in bed
And all that I believe, it might not even come true
But in my mind I’m havin’ a pretty good time with you”
“Put your dreams away for now
I won’t see you for some time
I am lost in my mind
Oh I get lost in my mind”
