GO LUCK YOURSELF!

Buy track

GO LUCK YOURSELF!

We tell each other
Everything we know
And establish it a force of habit
Now I can’t ever let you go
And I will never let you down
Though it’s granted
Everyone is slanted
Just listen to all this sound
You said, “Why can’t you see?
I’ll give you everything.”
I want to believe myself
You would say go be true
Do everything you want to do
Don’t just gab it
Go right out and grab it
Cause you’ve got something
Left to prove
While everyone else begs to choose
And command it
And don’t understand it
You will win and you will lose
She would say go
“Go luck yourself”
And if you can do what I do
Then band it
Go right out and brand it
I’ll be there at your big debut
Meanwhile I’ll put on my little show
And I’ll rock it
So you all can knock it
And your ego I’ll let it go
Go luck yourself!

ONE LOVE, ONE EXCEPTION

ONE LOVE, ONE EXCEPTION

Well you tell me that you love me so
Oh and then you leave
A bleeding heart that drips down from my sleeve
Can’t take these things back
All the good and bad
Everything I know just remains
Something we had
Oh on this side
You tell me that you’ll love me from the other side
Well you know I knew yesterday
Hey but it’s not that day today
As I watch every sunset fade to gray

Projected memories of rejected schemes
The hopes and dreams we placed in
some emerald rings
No no no no I’ll never understand the great deception of their
One love with one exception

You got a pair of wings now
It’s called the strings of my guitar
I’ll take you off from the ground
Now your soul mixes with sound
With something this pro found
Your truths lost in me and if they want it they know where it can be
I feel like I just saw you yesterday
You were wearing that
Red Ozma t-shirt
And it hurts to think the link
Of every little stupid thing
From our blink a double wink
Now I have to go and tell a shrink
Of how you move me
Cause we lived it like a movie
Oh why did you ever choose me?
You said that we were destined to be
Now together forever in a
Sea of stupidity
I tell you honestly it’s awesome
you in my head
Perfect moments
Forever trapped in our bed
That we made
That no one ever gets to know
Because they weren’t invited
to our show of
What was real what was thrill
what is everything I still feel
To reveal or conceal our big ordeal
Our love, one love, no exceptions.

Too Fast

Too Fast

I know you are, going too fast
For me to ever sneak up on you
You don’t want one pair of arms
To hold you night after night
After me.
You look at me with smoky eyes saying, “Come over here fella,
and see how warm the water is.”
But you’ve got eyes
from all the guys now.
What’s just one more?
What am I, like a potato chip to you?
Sounds nice if it were true.
Last night I dreamt of you,
but what does that mean anyway?
I know you are, going too fast
for me to ever sneak up on you and
one night stands burn me so good, but I’m afraid I’ll fall this time,
and that wouldn’t be so sexy to… you

Alone

Alone

Well I alone in Averenth
With my lady by my side
After wars I left her
And now she’s come to watch me die
She’s a flower in the sun
Now she’s crawlin’ through the mud
‘Cause a me, ’cause a me
My heart was sick, from killin’ Injuns
With their babies in their beds.
I refused but my General
Put his gun up to my head.
I wanted to come home
So Abby wouldn’t live alone
So I killed, burned them down
I woke up, cold dark morning
Saw a face in the mirror
Realized what I was bringing home
Wasn’t worth bringing anymore.
I tried to heal my sores
With robbin’, whisky and whores
Didn’t work. I was still bad
Sheriff put the noose
right around me
Pull it tightly, snap my neck
Don’t want my love to see me strangle
When my soul’s all blown to heck
So I’m alone in Averenth
With my lady watchin’ me die
I don’t know if I could bear it
To see poor Abby cry one more time.

Truth Is

Truth Is

The truth is, the truth is a heavy stone
The truth is, the truth is a heavy stone
So won’t you help me brother
Cause I can’t lift this on my own

The truth is, the truth is a tree in the road (yes it is)
The truth is, the truth is a tree in the road
So won’t you come and help me sister
Cause I think it's our one road home

The truth will live
The truth will set you free (yes it will)
The truth will, the truth will set you free
It’s a bitter pill my people

Well we better start chewing, if you know what I mean
(Do you know what I mean?)
(I know, Whoo!)

The truth is (truth is, truth is, truth is)
The truth is a heavy stone
The truth is (truth is, the truth is, the truth is)
The truth is a tree in the road
So won’t you come and help me people
Cause I can’t do this on my own
No, no no no, no, oh yeah

Blind Eyes

Blind Eyes

I am real…
So move slowly, toward me
Tell me you feel…
So lowly, floating
through a space so simply empty
but can’t replace how you feel things
..Flowing through your face

now what are we to do
to pass away all the hours
We make-up and take some showers

Perfecting till the end
What pretend buys
You can kill time
But it never dies
It never dies
Never dies
Ever dies
Dies
Turn blind eyes…

Is Shoes

I get lost in thought of all your smiles
In issues that I can't choose to lose
Now I'm just waiting to die
Also known as living
Until the world starts giving
The one thing that it’s never proved
A sure way back to you
And I'll do every single thing that you want me to
Everything I’ve always known myself to be true
And I can still hear you sing
when the morning comes
I just want to see
I just want to see you

So I guess that this makes
You the angel
And I guess that that makes
Me the one
Some people say when we die
That's when we start living
If we are forgiving
Of all the wrong things that we do
Oh g-d I hope that's true
And other people
They will hear what they want to say
In the end we know it doesn't
Mean a thing
While fallacy deceives beliefs
When the morning comes
I just wanna see
I just wanna see you
And whether or not you can hear me sing when the morning comes
I just want to see you
I will sing to you
I get lost in thought of all you’re...

Smile

Smile

In, I'm falling in
I didn't want to
Not so fast, boy
Slow, Don't wanna hurt the girl
Give her a pretty box
You better fill it

And I get blinded
When she opens the door
It's like looking into the sun
You know
And I just blinkin’ mumblin’ starin’
At my shoes
And she just looks at me
And smiles

Oh, there we go again
And it feels so good
We're fallin' up and down
And damn, it's 2 AM again
And she kisses me goodbye
For the sixteenth time

And I'm driving home, it's 5 AM
And I look at the sun come up over the hills
And the clouds are turning pink and green
And all I can see is her eyes

So I’ve turned around it’s 8 am
And I’m driving back
up and over the hills
And the clouds in the mirror are a little less clear. And I can’t see

As I get blinded
When she opens the door
It's like looking into the sun
You know
And I just blinkin’ mumblin’ starin’
At my shoes
And she just looks at me
And smiles

Moonshot

Down, I'm fallin' down
Want you to catch me
But you're not here.
Round, if you'd come Around
Know you could save me
With the touch of your soft hand.

You, It's always been you
Even before I met you
I was in love with you.
And I, I can't see why
I couldn't spend all of my time
by your side.

And I, I know I hurt
Even desert you
I'm a fool.
And I, I heard you cryin'
Feelin' like dyin.
You deserve
Better then me.

In, I let you in
But now I'm so scared
I wanna run away.
And do, what do we do?
I'm more than twice your age
But, I'm in love with you.

And when we are together,
I'm light as a feather
It's so good, but you
You are in school again
Breakin' the rules again
And me I'm on
I'm on the moon

Strippers

Buy track

Strippers

From relationships to friendships you lack
Crucial things we need to stay in tact
You stripped for me the best years of my life
And I want them, want them back

Did you strip away the essence of your soul
As you spin around the world’s pole
Did you strip me down for everyone to see
All your attention was such a tease

Things were going fine
Until I tried to put your clothes back on
Something tells me that was wrong
Because you strip me down to this song

Strippers take you for a spin
Pretending that they’re your best friend
Then strip you of your confidence
When you are weak with no defense
They’ll whisper things into your ears
They’ll whisper things I’ll always fear

Finer Than Gold

Buy track

Finer Than Gold

I forgot what you looked like
I forgot your skin
I wanted to stand up
And make you a mountain
I wanted to gather
Some stars in my hand
And drop them before you
Like they were sand
‘Cause I wanted you glowing,
So you could see
What I’m seeing
When I behold you
But I forgot your skin

Now I’m not a rich man,
But I just had to prove,
So I gathered some gold dust,
And I flung it on you
But you’re finer than gold

‘Cause gold doesn’t suit you
Not on your skin.
Like a drunk in the morning
Just doesn’t fit in
So happy birthday
I don’t have a gift
I spent all my money
I only have this

So now I sit here
Alone in my room
Holding this necklace
And thinking of you
I just want to break it
Dig it a hole
I know you forgive me
‘cause how could I know?

If This Is Love

If This Is Love

Why are you standing there
Across a room looking away
I’ve loved you since I met you
Time ago

If This Is Love
Why wont you look at me
So you can see my tears
I want to hold you
You know I can’t stand to see you cry

Well don’t say goodbye
Go ahead and leave me
Don’t make me cry I stand alone
And if you fly away and leave me and go home
I will die, If This Is Love

In the evening when I met you
You were an angel
And I thought I died
I thought that heaven was called
The Georgian hotel

Now I know that I lost you
But if you fly back to me
I’m going be the man you fell for
And put that gold
On your slender hand baby
On your slender hand

If this is love...

Transferring Energy

Transferring Energy

I woke up way to late this way
It seems like every other day
Where I don’t know why I try
Is it you is it me is it everything

So here I go so far away
From a place where I know I can’t say...

So if you feel so old and lame
and you will
Or so young and under paid
And you don’t know why/how you try
For the things that you dream
That means everything

So here we all go so far away
From a place where I know
We can sing...

Space and time is such a rhyme their lines intersect right in front of our minds eye
I can sell you all the moves
You want me too
What ever you’ll let me do
I’ll do

I refuse to not be fused to you and
I’m just some dude
Who will always refute
If they say that I was wrong to feel this way for you all I can do for you
I do…

Men Who Die

Men Who Die

Faded fates, hopes of greats
Who never knew what it takes
To make you care to keep the stares
Of everyone alone
Who’s searching for another way
This is what they say

Some may freeze, all will burn
What you’ve lost, what you learn
That keeps us here amidst the fear of everyone alive
Who’s searching for another day
This is what we say

Go, let go, you don’t know
Just let go…

Figures

Figures

I can’t seem to figure this out
All the stupid kin things
That I think about
Like when I pretend that
Every time I sleep
Right left beside you

I create my own fate every line
I define I cant say anything
That I mean my heart can’t speak

And if you ever think
You have a doubt
I’ll reassure you some things
You think you thought
You knew about
Like when I sleep softly
Every time I find myself
At your mercy

I negate my own stake every time
There’s a sign I cant save everything
That I need to be, my heart still beats...

The Key

The Key

I see a breathe
but there’s something
Inside of me
and I wonder
Who it’s gonna be lying
Left beside of me
That says don’t speak
Just be with me
Just breathe with me
She will be the key.
