I'm Stayin

All alone, it’s Friday night. Sitting in my room
Don’t wanna walk, I don’t wanna drive,
I don’t even wanna move
I’m staying right where I am
I guess I’ll drink alone again
Nobody gives a damn
I fall asleep and start to dream
About the way things should have been
My skin is turning blue and green and
The air is getting thin
But I’m staying right where I was
Not gonna change a thing because
Nobody ever does
Nobody ever does
You heard about my problems
You heard about my girl
You think that you heard everything
But you’ve heard nothing at all
I’m staying where I belong
Not gonna say what’s right or wrong
What’s right or wrong
What’s right or wrong
What’s wrong, what’s wrong
What’s Wrong?

Bang Yr Head

Why don’t you come out anymore?
You don’t pick up my calls or answer your front door
When will you stop your worrying?
“Don’t look back,” they say. “Don’t waste your life away.”
Everyone’s allowed a few bad days
You’re not alone. You’re not all by yourself
So bang your head against the wall, just like everyone else
You’re not afraid to know when you were wrong
So many dents in plaster, they could have been great songs
I know nobody’s perfect
The only thing to do here is drink until you’re sick
When will you stop abusing you?
“Don’t look down,” they say. The choice is yours to make.
Everyone’s allowed a few mistakes
You’re not alone. You’re not all by yourself
So bang your head against the wall, just like everyone else
You’re not afraid to know when you were wrong
So many dents in plaster, they could have been great songs
And dream about the girls you never fucked
The times you pushed your luck when you were drunk
And scream about the things you never did
The secrets that you hid
It’s not too late. It’s time to make your bed
And bang, bang, bang your head
Bang, bang, bang your head
Heart beating in my brain
She keeps repeating my name

Sunday Mourning Sun
04:43
|
|||
|
Five years ago, headed south alone, set my guns to roam
Head down, not fully grown
Twenty-four and bored, looking for something more
Found myself a home, to await the storm
Crashing, burning, clouds turning so slow
What did I know?
Water lines, ripped-up signs, dead fruit, hanging vines
Frozen in time. August twenty-nine
Memory turns to rust, waste deep in the mud
Grown-up, headed home from the life I loved
Sunday Mourning Sunlight sleeps in the glow
To where? I don’t know
To where? I don’t know
As the rain pounded the back window
the road ahead uncoiled like a snake
The Houston skyline seemed to grow more distant
As I saw Lot’s wife turn into salt
Hours turned to days, days to weeks, and I knew…
It would be months before I’d see you again

Good God / Bad God
01:17

Good god, what have I done? Why is this happening to me?
Is this a dream, or just TV? I don’t believe what I see
Devastation. Channel Three
Crashing, burning
Why is this happening to me?
What kind of god are you? What kind of fool am I?
Running, hiding
I’m saying goodbye
Bad god, up above, why are you doing this to us?
It’s not a dream. Where’s my gun?
I don’t believe what I’ve done
Cover the windows. Draw the blinds
Don’t look behind you, it’s gone
No matter what you tell yourself to believe
Bad god is leading you on
Bad god is leading you on
Don’t look behind you. It’s gone.

She keeps repeating my name
Birdbath waters receding
From the hurricane

Fragmentation

Split in two, split like a log, folded into a box
Asleep in the day, abandoned dreams
Scars on the face of the clock
Hallucination tears me apart, I stare into the wall
Unfolded again, pieced back together
And they can do no harm at all
It happens every time
Stay the course, ride the party line
Nobody suffers, there is no crime
When the enemy is undefined
Split in two, split like a log, folded into a box
Asleep in the day, abandoned dreams
Scars on the face of the clock
The Sun, it crossed the sky as night raged into day
We shook hands and said goodbye
We shook hands and said goodbye
We shook hands and said goodbye
It happens every time
Stay the course, ride the party line
Nobody suffers, there is no crime
When the enemy is undefined

Everything Turns To Gold
04:11
|

|
When I was young and dumb, I was the king of my own world
The clouds covered my eyes, and they cried
I looked up at the rain. The wind, it carried me away
Started to scream but I couldn’t hear a single sound
And when the Sun came back again
And when the trees grew back again
I landed on my feet, but all I wanted was to fly
Sometimes it’s black and white
You do everything that you’re told
And everything will turn to gold
Other times it’s kinda grey
You’re wondering if this is the way
Still, everything will turn to gold

And you can always change your mind
But you should never close your eyes
Someday you’ll have to decide
How do you want to spend your time?
You say it’s all in your head
You feel that something ain’t right
They think that you can ignore it
Today? Tomorrow?
Wash your anxieties away, the empty promises you made
Something is going to change. Everyone’s a little strange
He dealt you this hand, part of the plan, made you this way
Bad god dragging you down, stealing the crown
Now you’re insane
And you can never change your mind
And you can never close your eyes
Someday will never arrive
Someday will never arrive

I had a friend…
Tattooed his brain, walked off the edge
Hopped on the last train, straight to the end
Did you like what you saw?
Did you write it all down?
Did you smile, or did you just stare at the ground?
Did you know what they’d do? I was praying for you
I’m not waiting for you
Waiting for you
