Two men started walking started talking about better days
One says to the other he'd do it all again, if I knew I would
And now I found it found I adored it
I didn't want this can somebody help me see?
And now I feel that, feel that I've been there
I didn't need this can somebody help me breathe?
Here we are again just face to (face)ing each other another day
Who wins?well who cares it all ends up the same since I knew I would
And now I found it found I adored it
I didn't want this can somebody help me see?
And now I feel that, feel that I've been there
I didn't need this can somebody help me stand?
And now I told him already warned him
I didn't want this can somebody help me breathe?
It's always them that I wanna be, wanna see
If I could pack my life in a moment
I wanna know do you want me to go?
Gonna live my life never ending
Never stop myself from pretending
That you always knew
That I never could
All that I ever wanted was
To be the same but equal treatment never ever comes and
Here we go again
All I ever wanted; was to be like you
So perfect, so worthless
If I could take it all back, think again, I would
Cowboy Hat
Yes he wore a cowboy hat
Each bone broken in his back
All the money and all the gold
Couldn?t buy my love at eight years old
I?m in love with a girls who's wrong for me
Ask her she will disagree
Her father was a small town man
With small town dreams and small town hands but,
I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when I say I don't know
Gone for good in fact but what does it mean
From year to year they always sold 'em but,
Easy enough to just look at her
Whole world on a silver platter
What's that? Is that for me?
If I would set her conscience free
Won round one but it's not over
He don't care cause he don't know her
Too long,its not the same
If I would lend a hand to shame but
You'll always be so much easier to see
Don't hide from me that which I've already seen
You lie to me more than occasionally
Don't lie to me you lied to me
I'm as high as I'll ever be
I don't mind stay and see
They've all gone why don't we?
Lonely as you and me
I'm as high as I'll ever be
Later on last to see
The past is gone only for me
But I'm alive
Leader of Men
Tell your friends not to think out loud until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain your voice sounds so hollow
I am not a leader of men since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink since it's so hard to swallow?
Turn your television off and I will sing a song
If you suddenly have the urge well you can sing along
I touch your hand touch your face I think the fruit is rotten
Give me lessons on how to breathe cause I think I've forgotten
One day out to a cliff that overlooks the water
I jumped in to save a girl it was someone's daughter
And now the ring thats on my hand was given to me by her and
To this day we all sit around and dream of ways to get higher to
Get much higher
Old Enough
She's old enough
She knows enough
She's throwing up
So throw her
Out to me and I'll treat her like she was mine
Not my belief, you got your way and I'll get mine
I can't eat I can't sleep,oh but thank you for coming
Why do we always laugh while we're in this discussion
Should?ve known enough
Never grown enough
Alone enough
To know my
Way will be the path I wanted to try
If it fails to be good for me?then I?d rather die
Back roads always lead to something
Bury her cause her time was cut thin
All the while we stood and stared
Never cared to help we just got carried away
Lately it seems like my dreams are starting to die
It occurred to me?on the inside I guess so am I
?Well the last ones comin?
Stand right here on my own two feet
Enjoy it now cause it won?t repeat
Someway?somehow?the things that keep me alive
Aren?t living here anymore
Worthy To Say
They usually come around ten o?clock
You can hear ?em you can tell by the way they knock
Somebody said the other one had a badge
Who told ya? Who told ya?
How ?bout if I stay and you run away?
Well come on back and try again some other day
Somebody?s gonna do it again
Gonna make me turn against all of my friends
So you better have something damn worthy to say
They?re blowin? smoke everywhere around the block
You can smell it you can tell by the way we talk
Somebody stole five for gasoline
Who told you? Who told you?
I?ll never do it again no I won?t
Let?s settle it
We don?t
Have fun?...my life?...well I?m spending it
Since you got just what you wanted
We never do anything anymore
One eye on the telephone and one on the door
Somebody said revenge is served sweeter cold
Who told ya? Who told ya?
They?re grownin? dope everywhere around the block
You can smell you tell by the way we talk
Somebody stole five for gasoline
Who told ya? Who told ya?
Diggin? This
You say you don?t want it
Just watch and you?ll flaunt it
You stare at the ceiling
And ignore what I?m feeling
Well, that?s fine hey no I don?t mind
I can?t find nothin? wrong with it
And you say in your polite way
Oh?by the way?could you get on with it?
Now that I?ve seen?not really diggin? this!
Did I ask for your input?
How?s the taste of your own foot?
To speak and not be right
You?d like to just rewrite
My life and take what you like
And decide with all of it
And to know if it goes right
You?ll never find out if I wanted it
Now that I?ve seen?not really diggin? this!
Now that I know?not really diggin? this!
Called him twice today
They said he went away
I never wondered why
They tried to hold him
Ain?t never comin? back
Pull out the welcome mat
I never wondered why they tried to hold him
That?s the way that it?s going
To laugh without knowing
The way that I?m feeling
Inside it?s unappealing
Well, that?s fine hey no I don?t mind
I can?t find nothin? wrong with it
And you say in your polite way
Oh?by the way?could you get on with it?
Now that I?ve seen?not really diggin? this!
Now that I know?not really diggin? this!
Not really diggin? this!
Deep
You see much better than I see
And you know all that I?m thinking
To define and redefine?too slow
And it seems that I?m sinking
Runnin? through the deep
Goin? to find the backwoods
I found out ya ya
All day long
Who will be the big man?
Give him some
And you bleed much better than I bleed
And you?ve shown all that a soul could
And your word much better than my word
And you stand right where a hole should
To feel divine
To hold unto oneself
To give and to give
And to never receive myself
I want it
I need it
I felt much more than he did
To give it back somehow
Serrated edge
I forgive now
One Last Run
Best of friends?where?d they all go?
Try to find but no one ever knows
This small town makes you wanna stay
Who the hell would want to anyway?
Well I?m leavin?
And I want it all
Thought I got it all
Then I finally saw
And I found out where it?s all at
Better now than all before
Tried it once and now I want more
Memories all cut in half
Tell the truth and then I watch ?em laugh
I?m not laughin?
Sell it all watch and learn
Sell it all watch it burn
Steal a car we?re headed south
You know the score so just shut your mouth
One more run then I want out
Not like them I?d rather go without
Without needing
Not Leavin? Yet
Come lie next to me Jesus Christ
Holes in hand where a cross used to fit just right
The meeting called?the topic: a ladies fate
You don?t have to remind me
I won?t be late
Please excuse me, I?m sorry, I just can?t wait
And don?t use grandfather as the bait
Down the hall the baby boy just born
Rosary around a crown of thorns
Please excuse me, I?m sorry, I just can?t wait
And don?t use grandfather as the bait
No?
Can?t you see the lady?s not ready
Hands and feet are bound and unsteady
In the hall the family?s grieving
I?m the one who stays
I?m not leavin? yet
Hold Out Your Hand
All men with stars upon the chest
Save yourselves, your family?don?t worry ?bout the rest
Small child receives light through the crack
A human mile?ain?t never coming back
Hold out your hand and ask for some
Now and again she sits beneath the tree
The above reads: HARD WORK WILL SET YOU FREE
Hold out your hand and ask for some
Too late for another direction
Always what they had in store
Hurry back we?ve been waiting
We can?t take anymore
Where are the days when brothers were brothers?
A childless mother
Leave it except for
Leave it except for one
Hold out your hand and ask for some
Hold out your hand and ask for some
