With you 02:30
lyrics

She went away for a day or two She didn’t say what she would do She went away, she didn’t say It was with you I waited here and my fear grew Had me a beer, had me a few I Waited here, somehow I knew She was with you Now she can’t look me in the eye She just came to say good bye Packed a few things, Took off our rings Don’t even know the reason why Been half a year since we’ve been through Still want her near, still feeling blue I stay clear, I always knew She’d be with you She fell for you when she was seventeen She always knew she’d be your queen She couldn't look me in the eye When she came by to say good bye Packed a few things, Took off our rings And now I know the reason why

The truth and the lie 03:08
lyrics
buy track
I've known her kind for years The kind who brings you tears At first they talk nice Then they turn cold as ice yeah I've known her kind for years She says I drink way too many beers She brings life to all my fears Caught her once or twice Kissing with the wrong guys Yes she says I drink way too many beers The truth is sometimes found in the damnedest place The lie is I don’t wanna see her face The lie is she’ll come back to me one day The truth is I want her to stay I’ve known her kind for years The kind that’s always shifting gears At first they seem worth the price Then they get you in a vise

Pretty good day 03:02
lyrics

Tell me again bout your sorrow Tell me how there’s no tomorrow There’s pain we receive and there’s pain we create And I do believe you opened the floodgate Tell me again about justice Tell me bout your busted compass There’s time when we grieve we hardly see straight But I do believe that such is not your fate You love to complain bout every little thing There’s no hardship that your life doesn’t bring If that’s the worst that happened today Let me tell you friend, that’s a pretty good day Tell me again about the hangnails Tell me bout all the gory details No you can’t conceive not providing an update But I do believe you’re just a dumbass primate You love to complain bout every little thing There’s no hardship that your life doesn’t bring If that’s the worst that happened today Let me tell you friend, that’s a pretty good day You don’t feel compassion from the people round you But your pain is real, if only they knew What else is a poor attention whore to do Quick let’s think of issue all shiny and new

The circus left town 02:44
lyrics
buy track
The circus left town The world is gray again There’s no one around To tell me where and when My heart will calm down And listen to my brain My feet on the grown This ain’t no storm it’s just a little bit of rain The circus left town They just packed up and then They faded in the background I don’t if or when I miss the tastes, the sounds, the smells I miss the Sunday morning bells I miss the times when we were one The happiness we can’t outrun

Don't rush 03:48
lyrics
buy track
Don’t rush too far away from your past Today ain’t your day but it won’t be your last Give it a chance to turn out right Don’t rush too far away from the light Don’t rush too far away from your past Tomorrow’s great but why live so fast Son take a load off, and sit tight Don’t rush too far away from the light The sun up in the sky is there To tell that someone once did care Enough to give you life The woman in your past I swear Is still in love with you somewhere Enough to wanna be your wife Don’t rush too far away from your past Look up the sky’s not overcast Today’s not a good day to fight Don’t rush too far away from the light

Conversations 03:08
lyrics
buy track
Conversations she wants no part of She’ll just turn around and leave the room Conversations bout our love She’ll just leave me there to curse and fume Conversations too boring She’ll just go right on about her life Conversations bout a diamond ring She’ll say Just make me your wife Conversations we don’t need It’s like writing letters she won’t read Conversations best ignored Some lands are better unexplored Conversations Conversations bout the weather She’ll just start reading the Good Book Conversations bout Did you ever Are fair to overlook

These are the days 03:14
lyrics
buy track
I got news for you What you think is true In the back of your garbage brain It's a pile of poo It's the side of you That is born of fear and pain My jazz is dark but it hits the mark And it makes you feel ill at ease My eyes are blue like the sky above you And they call me cool breeze These are the days when we should think of simpler ways These are the days that should set our hearts ablaze These are the days Slinging drinks While on the brinks Of death and poverty Apes throw shit and my wrists are slit And my blood is finally free You're just another man who thinks he can Vote for Light and Hope Find a good tree, trust gravity And I'll hand you a rope You say I'm wrong that my words are strong But my heart is MIA I've lived too long to sing your song And my heart's got things to say

We got one more 03:10
lyrics

We got one more night We got one more night Tomorrow may take flight, babe And we got one more night We got one more kiss We got one more kiss Tomorrow may not bring us bliss, babe We got one more kiss We don’t know what’s on tap Hope may be a trap We know we have right now Let’s make it count somehow We got one more hug We got one more hug Let’s get nice and snug, babe We got one more hug Don’t wanna be that guy Who thinks that love might die But I don’t wanna take for granted The Love I always wanted We got one more smile We got one more smile Let’s make it worthwhile, babe We got one more smile We don’t know what’s on tap Hope may be a trap We know we have right now Let’s make it count somehow

The light of the soul 04:48
lyrics
buy track
The light of the soul lasts forever The stars that we stole don’t shine any brighter The tears of a child they pour from the heart The wider she smiled the farther we’re apart I know there’s a way There will come a day The light of the soul lasts forever But dark is the hole when you say you will never Let your love run wild, let your feelings depart Your joy is exiled like ruined from the start I know there’s a way There will come a day There will come a day When you will say Now I see the light Your love shines to bright The light of the soul lasts forever Your life as a whole is light as a feather Your memories are gone your feelings are raw The war is not won by following the law I know there’s a way There will come a day There will come a day When you will say Now I see the light Your love shines to bright
