Way Back East Sick and tired watching mornings come as I lie down Exit Stereo Slippin' Through my fingers as I swear I got it this time Begging please remembered to fall in love forgot the elbow grease back East and now the sun is setting heading West now not West enough it's always Dark around here and it's never too late to reInvent yourself bury the old you inside of new walls to heal I am the oldest dog new trick I still love to feel like this never seen that smile before Old GlOry's nEW Again time's a lie it feels so good to cry fade right into the next scene this is just the beginning think we been listening long enough it's time to speak up use this voice there's still so much room endless melody written by posterity to pave us into the future choking on the same train of thought in darkest tunnels I know where I'm not a sip of water and a new destination where I'm content to walk go as slow as I please can't live your whole life planning for a rainy day in the sun Run Sally Run If you live long enough it's as hard to quit as it is not to give up Time's a lie it feels so good to cry fade right into the next scene this is just the beginning use that pain to hold the next one hurting don't you let that go that's what makes you I am the oldest dog new trick we don't have to feel like this you've been working on that smile since way back East

Line Going Out the Door and this world is shit but you're stuck in it don't go along don't go along it's so much better living in your song it'll reach them when they need it most probably right as you become a ghost you never know how far you've come if you could just see the beginning it's so much more than enough just to know you really care I'm the quitter always running inside whenever it gets too real for this method actor lost in the role of a movie that never sees the light of day you can't even explain it for me to fake there ain't no drug strong enough to break me the way I need it to with out stealing my soul there ain't nothing here to fix it's real it's real as high it's me this world is mostly pain please be kind you're still the one that can bring me back this world's ok sure there's lots I'd change but at least I'm healthy enough to be loud and complain while some folks are so darn good leave ya feelin' like a humble jerk love never dies it's not the same for the will to fight doing the right thing is hardly ever doing the thing that feels all nice I'm the quitter disappearing from the stage when the magic dissipates and they're no longer this illusionist so disillusioned with all of this been peeping behind the curtain draped in uncertain there ain't no drug strong enough to break me the way I need it to with out stealing my soul there ain't nothing here to fix it's real as real as high it's me this world is mostly pain please be kind you're still the one that can bring me back this world is great but you can't stay there's a line going out the door and we all know what for since we're already late fall in love while we wait

Drinkin' Through Your Heaven Driver take me anywhere I'm tired and unprepared ready for everything there is no place far enough to outrun what's catching up go on take all your fear gather 'round here unveil your secret dreams then we disappear careful here oh fragile love choices left unmade dig an anxious grave where your soul can't ever sleep this could have been our second honeymoon this could have been our second honey moon a shoulder on the road her head on your shoulder older hold her closer oh how sweet it is a record on the floor barely worn and warm your best friend by your side it's rock starts in our minds till we open our eyes keep our eyes freedom's the sound of the taste of a casket you can't stand what's everlastin' people care more than they'll ever say it's hard not to hide through the day we all we got and we know it's a lot to hold it all together but you don't always have to trust in us to keep it too sometimes the shoulder's not enough run into the woods just to get stuck no doubt about it sweet incomplete always there just like me it's comforting to always be in need if you stick around you'll get just enough of a taste in the night it's all too clear forever facing down the fear live in secret squeakin' by I just dream of saying hi and we all we got and we know it's a lot to hold it all together trust in us to keep it too

Rowdy Head 03:52
Rowdy Head Following the anger here that's when I started to disappear five years dry and I'm still shaking off the last high I'm on I'll always be sick but I can live like this fallen leaves in an autumn song are all I need to keep this record on Quiet Space Rowdy Head Second Act is Where it's AT even when the sun shines it's always dim yesterday's hangin' on I can't be here today too soft for the punks too loud for the classical I don't wanna fit in if I can't stand out part of this disease the reasons never leave I ran and ran out of steam till I felt love serene we'll always be scared hearts racin' mind aware abandoning the anger here I think we'll start to reappear Carve out Space keep Our Dreams safe stay on shore digging graves even when the sun shines it's always dim yesterday's hanging on I can't be here today too soft for the punks too loud for the classical I don't want to fit in if I can't Stand out think I'll go on an errant drive throw this numbness in desert skies reverse this heart as I can into mind's gravity so love can float us into space and let our dreams play a gentle reminder you're near far from grave

Reunion Dance if this starts to end don't you worry I'll rush by your side to clasp your hand tell me anything lean it all on me they way I leaned on you before I even knew what a mercy it was to be loved proud son before the shame thought I had mastered the masquerade of stoic solitariness now I'm running out of gas and I'm going way too fast to pull over hope it will hope it will find us here that's what I'm afraid of love won't let me disappear thanks Mom a decade's easy livin' left me hard pressed for anything more than empty emptiness it always feels like the best days are behind us till we know for sure today's of yore falling into faithlessness I could not face this love hello I best be leaving goodbye I'll stick around the fractions in between your show stealing scenes reunion dance you don't look gray to me honesty will set you free full of pain one's own guilt is just enough to crush the whole world don't tell us what to let go of my love my mess I tried to bury the prologue but you're always there so I recycled the fabric of anguish and made a pretty dress I confess just how content I am today Mom you'll never gray to me

Forgotten Tune I went down to the river and cried even though it was the best day of my life so much left under the bed of a pink and purple sky sunset goodbye a vacation taken too late but we made it and we know but can't say it stuck rambling away glued to pieces of each other that we'll never get back still I'd rather not forget the best vacation we never took your love was so pure I forgot I never knew what forever meant now tomorrow's come instead to collect the debt of my promises unkept mercy her mercy her days steal sunshine moon steals the night married to highway blues and a gas tank full of nostalgic you my fleeting frequency searching pacific waves to ease my Westward soul before the sun sets and the moon steals my borrowed heart from you your love was so pure I forgot I never knew what forever meant now tomorrow's come instead to collect the debt of my promises unkept I loved so hard I ran out set her set her free I'm beggin begging please set her set her free I'm begging married to highway blues pacific souls drowning in Westward frequencies of forgotten tunes trying to catch up to you before the sun sets and the moon steals our last pieces of each other

Gentle Ears 05:51
Gentle Ears Since there ain't no escape I think I'll be a door open all the time gentle ears spending endless nights drifting out the window searching for the waves to take us to a shore that's long since washed away and keeping us from the open sea sweet pacific souls a death where we don't hide cuz everyone is an open door with endless room to breathe sick of sick of sick of reasons it's all the same we all we all got it so wrong one day we'll listen perfection's such a dreary dream dizzy boots drawn out dance at the rodeo these little joys are big enough to share this dying last with you we lose the voice to sing the day we stop listening gentle ears a holding hand as your soul drifts out to sea hold on hold on to nothing and you've got room she gives us a chance all the air that we breathe all she ever wanted kept driftin away she gives us a chance all the air that we breathe all she ever wanted kept driftin away she gives us a chance all the air that we breathe all she ever wanted kept driftin away her children's songs lead to ruin of dead ends dead roads adorned with mirrors reflecting everything I thought I'd got away from tired of owing more than we could ever own come and take it now then let us go perfection's such a dreary dream dizzy boots drawn out dance at the rodeo these little joys are big enough to make this dying last with you we lose the voice to sing the day we stop listening gentle ears and a holding hand as your soul drifts out to sea she gives us a chance all the air that we breathe all she ever wanted kept driftin away she gives us a chance all the air that we breathe all she ever wanted was a song for change for gentle ears sung by the kids whose love's the only thing that's sane

Fool For Too Long I've been the fool for too long it keeps me from moving on it's been so long since you've been seen you forgot that you're around even the dust looks good in your shade there is no bad in you there are places we need to go alone meet me by your side even if this can't last I wanna start with you my best friend even your brightest moods feel blue and your darkest minds feel bright always kind I've been the fool for too long I wanna hide out in our love watching our dreams grow too big time keeps moving on I wanna stay stuck with you writing over the writing on the walls "Love forever" I'm not the fool today dull unrelenting numbness keeping us from our sky's dream if we could just fall back asleep and picture all the magic your fingers weave elating all the children we are no matter how clean I get I can't keep these dreams from turning into sweet almost memories I can't recover all we lose through a hole in us filling up with emptiness it's easier to make you let me go than to let you down no shore is West enough can't lose it in the woods closeness of the open sea hell is standing next to me I can't move at all No shore is West enough can't lose it in the woods no star shines long enough Heaven's close enough to breathe but I can't leave this dead end life staying stuck with you Way back East we never had to move all we did was dream safe inside our love and that was just enough that was just enough

Never in style but never played out either. Honesty, rawness, sincerity and real instruments are always pretty cool.
