Semi auto hand gun
Left a hole inside of my head
I'm not in the world
I'm not even close
Your face through telescopes
your voice ten minutes later
I'm not in your mind
Not in quite a while
Maybe I should haunt
I think that'd make you smile
Remember times, that we made love at night
Shots of you pass through as I head into the light
I'm not in the world
I'm not even close
Your face through telescopes
Your voice ten minutes later
I'm not in your mind
Not in quite a while
Maybe I should haunt
I think that'd make you smile
X 2
The world reminds me
That you're right beside me
Here everyday

Feel The Burn
03:28

I pass the gates
Embrace the ancient lakes
That dried up
Our spirits get pried up
Here we lie
Between angels in alkaline
And the sky
We span the divide
And you could have the world
Just let that girl let go
Sear and feel the burn
As we stand beside each other
We both find another...
Shed your tears
They'll surely quench your fears
Don't be scared
Just let loose and be shared
One for all
This commune will stand tall
And be heard
When you're falling - I'm falling
And you could have the world
Just let that girl let go
Sear and feel the burn
As we stand beside each other
We both find another
And watch the flames engulf the ones we loved
Cause when they pass by, we see them from high above
Because we have had enough

Make Believe

Hey, do you cry
All those living a lie
September goes - we know, we know
And we remember
The days that go by
I've started
Started to realize that
Maybe I, maybe I...
Maybe I have become lost
In the land of make believe
How do I find
Souls that are lost in another time
There is no hope - I know, I know
That the world is turned around
So please open up your eyes
And try to take a look on my side
Maybe I, maybe I...
Maybe I have become lost
In the land of make believe
And do you think that I have
What it takes to reach
Cause honesty and love
Things will be fine because
There's something
Someone sees inside you
They'll see what is true
Maybe I have become lost
In the land of make believe
And do you think that I have
What it takes to reach
How can I look
If I don't want to see
Only when alone
I found honesty
So maybe I - maybe I
Hey maybe I have lost my way
Hey do you cry, hey do you cry
Hey do you cry for people living a lie
Maybe I should try honesty and love

Wherever I Am
03:05
|

|
The family sees places as a way
To stay one day my leaving would be something
Where my memories of places start to fade
So plain, everyone's life is unchanging
Life's been nothing but fair
Why should I care about moving back there
And I know that I always can
Wherever I am
And I know they'll always understand
The trouble stands with folks
Who bury their heads in sands
In land that always left them stranded
But when there's open minds
When people understand your side
Everyone's prayers are less demanding
The lights here fade away
But tomorrow is another day
Life's been nothing but fair
Why should I care about moving back there
And I know that I always can
Wherever I am
And I know they'll always understand
x 2
Like an ocean wave, this town will wash away
Leaving my pain
And when I think it's passed, it always seems to last
All of my pain

Good Folks
03:46

I know that I won't die alone
From stitches I sew
This town never grew so old
From pictures you show
This was the hardest move
Three-thousand miles from you
Find me on that western coast
Walking among the good folks
On their way
To the finest place
They wait in the cold on their lawns
Saying good luck and so long
He's packed his car up with clothes
The hula girl knows
All roads open something new
All fifty states from you
Find me on that western coast
Walking among the good folks
On their way
Do they find - find his place
The good folks
Play their games
Just to find
Find his way

Love and War
04:22

Well you know what they say about love and war
Tonight you're gonna leave me cause I'm such a bore
It's raining stuff from above out of the window on your floor
Up to the window that I've serenaded, humiliated
Felt more alive than I've ever stated
I am not, all you've got - to lose
And it's clear by your look
You never wanted to stay
It's clear that my fears are right
You're running away
And all that I'm in
You always wanted out more
These things never seem to be like
They were before
Cause I learn to live in this love and war
Have you heard the phrase nothing to do with you
Well it's a fucking lie, and it is nothing new
For somebody to - forget what's true and say it's me not you
Why can't they get some guts
and let it unwind, stop being kind
Start saying things like better luck the next time
I am not, all you've got - to lose
And it's clear by your look you never
Wanted to stay
It's clear that my fears are right
You're running away
And all that I'm in
You always wanted out more
These things never seem to be like
They were before
Cause I learn to live in this love and war
x 2
But now I've got you
Where I want you
Bag in hand looking back through that door
At me, wishing things were like they were before
Cause I'll learn to live in this love and war

Relief
02:29
|

|
I try to get some rest
But I'm finding that these stressors are why
I can lie here in a mess
But I'll start making breakfast so you can try
A taste of my pain
Cause it's hard to explain
These feelings in life worse than shame
There's no relief from the shelf
And back in the day
A man would say that he can relieve himself
So just relax
Cause it won't last
And you'll remember that there's nothing to the past
And you won't blame
From where you came
Because your future life won't be the same
Taste a little bit of my pain
Cause it's hard to explain
These feelings in life worse than shame
There's no relief from the shelf
And back in the day
A man would say that he can relieve himself
Inside my head is the place I don't want to be
I didn't choose this life
Anxiety - that's who decided it wanted me
And I can't get relief
Get relief, my heads got the best of me
But please understand that this is not my plan
I'll be a normal man you'll see
So take off these hand-cuffs
And set me free

Run Our Lives
03:24

Are you happy to be
Your failing to see
Your life's a mastermind created fantasy
Though you may fall
Down in a haul
You'll break through to see the real world, baby
Don't let anybody ever say
That we can't be what we want to be someday
Cause when they see us live, oh boy they can't deny
That we run our...
You're always arguing me
Don't give in and see both sides
And how we're both unhappy
I don't know what this will bring
Hurting you is the thing I won't do
But you still want to slap me
Don't let anybody ever say
That we can't be what we want to be someday
Cause when they see us live, oh boy they can't deny that
We run our lives
Where should I go?
Never you mind we know the things that you're good for
Don't underplay all the things that you live for
Cause when you see that door that somebody left open
You'll see the light, and see that we run our lives
Don't let anybody ever say
That we can't be what we want to be someday
Cause when they see us live, oh boy they can't deny
That they despise that we can run our lives
So think of the places and the times we've been through
And remember the things they didn't want us to do
Cause when they see us live, oh boy they can't deny that
We run our lives

Last Goodbye

Willow trees
Sway in the breeze
Why can't they decide
They cry their green and yellow leaves
landing by my side
It's the place I want to lie
When I'm gone
We all die
So you're down in the dumps
Cause he's down in the dirt
He's dead and it's no lie
He's taken your heart
And he broke it in two
All you can do is cry
It's the place I want to lie
When I'm gone
We all die
And I won't be long
Only if you have the time to go
Where no one knows
I'll send you my last goodbye
Willow trees sway in the breeze
Why can't they decide
They cry their green and yellow leaves
Landing by my side
It's the place I want to lie
I think I want to run away
Become one in the place I want to lie
When I'm gone, don't you know that we all die
And I won't be long
Only if you have the time to go
Where no one knows
Everyone needs a place
A place where no one goes
Only if you have the time to go
Where no one knows
I'll send you my last goodbye
