Gone

Never home to fulfill her needs

Is it over?

Distance feeds anxiety

Is it over?

Another town I cry and hug my knees

Is it over?

The distance grows

I want to come back home

Another day away another fight you face alone

I’m gone

I'd like to save you from the pain, a thousand miles away

I’m gone

Mother's due for deadly news

Is it over?

Another night, medication and tubes

Is it over?

I wish I’d never seen cancer

I'd die just to find that answer

Is it over?

The distance grows

Her heartbeat's slow

I can’t take this anymore

It won’t be long

Keep holding strong

Salem

Where does your misfortune grow?

From a humble house, with a cross burning slow?

You fear she will challenge your throne

So you dig the dirt and it’s selling like gold

10 fingers 10 toes point, but not a damn one back at you

It's your fault you fall apart

The problem is in you

Burn the witch

Or stone and rope to bind her soul

Sink or swim

And watch the truth drown below

You search the hills, swift and true

Look outside yourself, for it cannot be you

The town gathers and slander ensues

Not long ‘til she’s cursed, not long ‘til she’s through

You've done the work of a saint, but with the devil's hand

With cauldron gossip you pray, to restore this land

Holy and dead, holy and dead

Remember the plank?

You've got a tree instead

This will all be over soon

She's melting through

But your dark clouds still remain

So grab another one without a name

Fat Kid

Once upon a time

I survived by eating my way through life

Bruised from head to toe to ego

This abuse is getting old

But it's okay,

I'm that kid that's just a little overweight

So I eat to ease the pain, but one day

I'm gonna rule the world, steal your girl

Not bad, not bad for a fat kid

But I’m okay, It won’t be too long until I have my way

I'll make being fat such the rave today

Dance, Dance, Dance

Everybody at the party come on

Dance, Dance, Dance

Everybody at the party raise your fists

This is our chance

Help me now, I’ve lived in fear for years

Loved by no one And it’s not fair-

Weather friends, this is the end, you'll see

Thin was in, but now it’s out, and fat is what it’s all about

(Whatcha gonna do fat

boy?)

(Whatcha gonna

do?)

Waiting On Rain

Broke and broken child

Veiled to the eyes of humanity

She is left wanting

She is left with nothing

She is nothing

Tonight she cries

Evanescent to indifferent eyes

Tonight she screams to the sky

Waiting on rain to come

Wash away

I don’t ask for a break of day

Boy that hides his tears

Silent scars and poison tongues that stain his skin

Shaded world sees black and white

Chained to ancient walls

Sad world can’t be colorblind

Tonight he cries

Evanescent to indifferent eyes

Tonight he screams the sky

I send a vicious scream on dying wings to you

Sent to heaven straight from hell

I don’t ask for a break of day

Just pour the rain

The Cleansing

I smell your rot a mile behind

You've destroyed these lives so I

Have made your grave with the dogs

By grace our paths have crossed

And all tolerance is lost

What is the price on your head?

I'll take it with these hands

Rip flesh from bone and claim what we own

For every generation there comes a time

To join the gray or become what is right

You stayed in shadows and preyed on the blind

You're cyanide

Father, You know I’m seeking honor

Wanting life for my brothers

I will fight, the ones who stole the sun and left us night

They're cyanide

Father guide my hands

And I will cleanse this land

End the enemy

The innocent be freed

You and me

I fight for father’s' daughters, sons and mothers

Raped and murdered, bound and tied

You came inside

You took their lives

Yeah I pray...I pray you die

So I will fight the decadence that leeches our innocence

They’re cyanide

Blue and Gold

Phone call, Sunday afternoon

Springtime, this flower’s lost its bloom

I was not there, and it is not fair

Your innocence and youth

Carried you this far

Just to be removed

And tonight, the stars will shine

And fill my life, you’ve left me behind

She's walking through the blue and the gold, the new and the old

With the ancient Father, of every daughter

I know that we'll make it through this night

Dreaming, a panoramic view

Canvas memories, bring me back to you

We lived and laughed, we lived so fast

I can’t stand to see the truth

Now your masterpiece

It paints the news

Fell In Love With a Ghost

It's the season for reasons to justify treason

You're leaving and letting me die alone

The spirits you wear show the sins that you bear

With every drink you are letting me go

I'm the one that pays

Go

Let me let you

Go

Set me free

You're the ghost in my mind

Thorn in my side

Sober in my dreams, you're dead in real life

What goes through my mind

Is how you used to be so alive

And now you’re fighting just to put the bottle down

Put that bottle down

Sleep tonight

Close your eyes

Sing your dirge

Say good night

While you’ve been sleeping

I've been dreaming

Of a life without repeating

The same old suicide

Round and round we’'d ride

So you'’ll be sleeping

I'll be leaving

Six feet under wake up screaming

One day you will know

You were dead, I had to go

The Few Not Fleeting

I was born to walk on water

I came to be the few not fleeting

I still bleed like any other

I came to be the few not fleeting

My body’s numb and my will breaks

Head immersed beneath the waves

Sky’'s light begins to fade

It'’s the end they'd say

Eyes dilate

Spot of sun’s not too far away

Hope is not lost I must hold on

I am only a man

But I will be more, more than I am

Fighting I will stand

I am one against a sea that runs

Our scars bind us as brothers

I came to be the few not fleeting

Define what makes a man, it’s how we stand when we suffer

I came to be the few not fleeting

There's no escape from the gale's rise

Though fear in my heart, there's a fire in my eyes

It seems that everything in the stars and the sky is against me

I won’t go without a fight

I'll breathe in hope and bathe in light

Bullets and Blue Eyes

These dark and cloudy ideas are grounding my head down

With bullets and blue eyes, and a white flag disguise

Pull up the sheets and sing me back to sleep

What would you say?

What would you do if I told you our love was through?

If I walked out the door, left your heart on the floor?

I'm tired of holding my breath for countless days now

I bet you’re someone you cannot recognize

Can you look yourself in the eyes?

What would you say?

What would you do if I told you our love was through?

If I walked out the door, left your heart on the floor?

If you were to stay, what would you change?

What would you do to prove?

Could you die to yourself just to love someone else?

Hold me, Hold me, Hold me, closer

You never hold me when you’re sober

To hell with our love

You drink the blood

And I'll drink the wine

Love?

I caught you

But you wanted the stars

Did I not shine?

I showed you you

You showed me me

And this is how love is supposed to be

I'm waiting for you, waiting

I'll be here,

Please change your mind and come home tonight

I'll sing it 'til the stars fall down

I'll sing it 'til my lungs dry out

I can sing it all night long

But you never listen when I sing this song

Lie to me

And try to make me believe

That I can save you, unchain you

From your mind that takes, cause your heart won’t break

And this is how love is supposed to be?

You said it best

Logic will break your heart

You don’t know it yet

It's torn your world apart

Do you always run

When the stakes are getting high?

If loving you is the death of me

Then now's the time to die

Goodbye to you baby

Goodbye

I'm not waiting

I've made up my mind, don't come home tonight

I'll sing it 'til the stars fall down

I'll sing it 'til my lungs dry out

I can sing it all night long

But you didn’t listen when I sang this song

It Seems...

Alone in the room, TV on

Like the white screen his life's gone

A moving shell, a wandering ghost

A shadow of a man who nobody knows

He hardly speaks when you say his name

He's just embarrassed to say

Anything to anyone

In his mind there's no way out

He said he wants to die

He wonders how anyone survives

Being overlooked and trite

As seasons change

And trees grow bare

His reflection's a stranger

Back it won't stare

It's like everybody else

Just too busy for his simple self

He walks 13 blocks to the city's cross

Puts dust on his knees

Prays for a god that doesn't leave

It's lonely here in hell

He prays to be somebody else

In his mind there's no way out

In the sand he sinks to his knees

Mobile world around, just out of reach

Tears rolling down his cheeks

He has to believe, believe in himself

Put up, hold out

Break down, scream loud

Wave fists, and shout

It's done

It's done

Now stand tall, prove all

Push on, now you see

It's your life, It's your fight

Live free, don't hide

You've got to believe
