Boys Have Everything

You better speak up you better not use your voice
Make up your mind don't make a choice
It’s funny how easy it can be
To take one thought and set it free
I know that you want it all
I know it’s not your fault
These boys have everything
Boys have everything
You want, you need, your hopes, your dreams
Are all caught up in circles, that go like this
Some may stand or some may take a knee
It’s really not up to me
Who decides who's right?
To tell someone that they can fight
Be everything you can be
This life’s just like the army
There’s no getting out alive
It’ll get you right between the eyes

Home,
You got the whole world in your hands
You got the one you love, but you don’t understand
You are home
Home,
You talk like you walk in reverse
Like when your brain says that we are a curse
You miss home
Home,
Open your mind if only a bit
Sit back enjoy our little trip
You left home
Home,
Remember it’s wherever you are
It’s not some place on a far away star
You are home
Careful, be careful what you wish for

We All Fall Down
04:21
|

|
You act like you are better than them
Like you don’t even watch TV
You stick your nose high in those books
It’s the same between you and me
Diamonds and Ashes, Diamonds and Ashes
Ashes Ashes, Are all around
Diamonds and Ashes, Diamonds and Ashes
Ashes Ashes, We all fall down
When judgment comes it comes by fire
It’ll burn everything in its way
It don’t take names, it don’t draw straws
Everything will be stripped away
We all we all fall down, We all we all fall down
We all we all fall down, We all we all fall down
Love it is a precious stone
It’s the only thing to remain
Fight to keep that love inside
It’ll help you with the pain

Forget You
03:28
|

I did my best to see this through
Truth is things changed me and we did too
You said that it was getting kinda strange
Situations I cannot rearrange
Our mind’s been thinking that it’s wrong
Knows not what is weak or what is strong
I said it’s better if we stay away
As if there was nothing more to say
Forget you, and your reasons, I don’t want to hear them, I don’t want to see you anyway
Forget you, your opinions, because they’re worthless, and they’re bringing me down
Forget you, and your feelings, you know you’re crazy, and you’re making me ill
I have been here a thousand times before
Banged my head on this broken door
You tried, I tried to work this out
We never tried to live without

Highway of Regret
04:06
|

There’s a bitterness I can’t replace
It always takes the shape of your face
And it won’t let me go
I just had to let you know
Now I’m on the highway of regret
Are you going my way to forget?
When I get down there to the bottom
Don’t you know, I’m gonna come back up to you
There’s the salt that’s left on my skin
A constant memory of my sin
Well if you’ll pass me on by
Then I might believe the lie
Don’t you see me bleeding for you?

Old Dog

I’m just an old dog
Take me back home
Still love a head rub
Give me a bone
I’m just an old dog
Howl at the moon
Wake up my parents
I sleep until noon
Begging, Begging
Don’t put me down
I’m just an old dog
Tied up out back
Don’t love the neighbors
Sometimes I attack
I’m just an old dog
Can’t walk so long
Still love those flowers
That scent ain’t gone

No One
02:42

I heard you talk about love but you really got none
You feed on the concept but your learning has just begun
So don’t tell me believe in some half ass story
Of a prince and a princess who prance right, right into glory
We’re all gonna die before this debt’s paid off
So don’t hope for some more this generation’s made you soft
And I’m lost, yes I’m lost, ain’t nobody paid my cost
This burden I bear ain’t got no one, no one to share
If time is an arrow then I’ll be the target
You might pierce the skin but these scars soon forget
Like some old dirty book left at the back of the shelf
With my pages turned yellow you’re still thinking, thinking about yourself
I might be a tree with some roots that go deep
But I still mourn my brothers who have now gone to sleep
And I cry, I cry I let these tears roll down
And I hate to admit I still miss you, miss you around

Whiskey

Whiskey oh whiskey
Heal my misery
Been drinking from the bottle
In these dark glasses I see
It was all that you knew
And it slowly turned you blue
I went down there, and you went down there
With me
Youth it is a young man’s game
We live, we die, we stay the same
How much more can you take?
How much will you bend before you break?
Pour me another
One for the road
I’m drinking to forget
The stories I told
They’re too much to bear
This life it just ain’t fair
You drink another, to forget her
And disappear
Youth it is a young man’s game
We live, we die, we stay the same
You think your life is a bore
“I’ve been there, I done that before”
Tell me my brother
Where have you been?
You went out like a soldier
Will she ever see you again?
Though time it will pass
It won’t fill up my glass
Spent time there, spent my time there
In the past
Youth it is a young man’s game
We live, we die, we stay the same
How much more can you take?
How much will you bend before you break?

Loren
02:34

I chased the shadow in the night
Until I disappeared in light
From where I came the rain did fall
Within the wind a name did call
Loren, Loren, Loren my friend
When will the winter end?
Loren, Loren, taken again
Loren the wind did win (again)
If now we live if now if now we die
What makes the lonely lilly cry?
We speak of love like sacrifice
We freeze fire we burn like ice
Who guides the weak ones to be strong?
Who leads the weary to belong?
I’ll take a breath to break with death
Come with me now we start afresh

Speak to me
In a language only I can hear
Bring to me
A love that lasts through all my years
I will sing to you if you sing to me
I will dream of you if you dream of me tonight
Take me away
Shine a little bit of hope on the way
Why don’t we go back to where we started
Dancing with you
Underneath the palest moonlight
Oh don’t you leave me this time broken hearted
Who are you?
The one that won’t say maybe
Who are you?
The one that drives me crazy
Take me away
Shine a little bit of hope on the way
Why don’t we go back to where we started
Dancing with you
Underneath the palest moonlight
Oh don’t you leave me this time broken hearted
I’ve been so lost
I’m not worried about the cost
Why don’t you open your eyes so I can see you?

On & On
03:51
|

|
Been around for quite some time
Seems like everything the same
It may be me it may be you
The story sounds the same
On & on, on & on
Did you stay or have you gone?
Will you go from here to the great beyond?
On & on
Rest will find your weary soul
If you lay down your pride
Autumn leaves turn red and gold
Life returns again in spring
A flower lays upon a grave
From dust to dust return
Rivers to the sea they run
Yet the sea is never full
Time will tell, time will tell
If we lived, a life of hell
Did we pass the test, do good enough?
Time will tell
