Local Limits 04:19
Don't ask me how I'm doing. I couldn't tell you if I tried. Your fan sways in the doorway, it's always blowing me out of time. Don't lock your local limits to a telephone pole. You'll expect them to be there. When they're not, you'll lose control. Don't ask me how it's going, it shifts from cruel to kind so fast. My troubles grow so deep as I peek through the vines at the grass. Don't lock your local limits to a telephone pole. You'll expect them to be there. When they're not, you'll lose control. So don't preach about my problems like you've saved me before. It's just that life's got lots of problems, never less, never more. And don't lock your local limits to a telephone pole. You'll expect them to be there. When they're not...they're not, you'll lose control.

Baby, tell me why is the morning so clear? The bed is exposed and covered with last night's tears. You know I couldn't help it. The pit's been drilled by my peers. So I let it all go, but the truth didn't see me through. And I suppose I fulfilled my own fears, And ruined a good day with you, I ruined a good day with you. Baby, tell me what do you expect for me to say? I tell you no, no, no, but you brush it off and do things your own way. And now you couldn't figure out why I was acting so peculiar that day. So I proclaim exactly why I'm feeling blue. And I suppose I fulfilled my own fears, And ruined a good day with you, I ruined a good day with you. So baby play along, I only show what I feel is right. I guess I'll wake up with my head outside, let you follow me this time. But don't complain when I throw arrows back at you. Because I know I'll fulfill my own fears, And ruin a good day with you, I ruined a good day with you.

New Rag 02:44
It's so wrong, babe, the way you always prove me right. I've got a jealous mind that keeps me up all night. You told me to my face you'd never hold him tight. Well it's so wrong, baby. You say he wants you more than me, that might be true. But late at night your'e gunna crave my lovin'. You know I know you. Cause I've got all the moves in mind to make your passion stew, But you say he wants you more than me. And it's still hard, to see you walk the part with him. It makes me sick to hear you've let it loose with him. It might be my penalty, I never claimed to be guilt free, But it's still hard baby. So won't you come on home, my momma. You know I'm better than that. I've got a new tune dancing around my head, a dollar in my hat. Big man's got nothing on me, he ain't no strumming cat. So won't you come on home, momma. Yeah, he's a piggy boy with a king's name, and my temper won't be tamed until you Come on home, momma.

Hello there my friend, why don't you have a seat? It's been a while now. Why don't we ever speak anymore? Well our thoughts really get to us sometimes, don't they? So we paint them grey until we have no words to say just to slip away. Until we've got nowhere to go, nowhere to go. They tell me to get ahead, say I'm moving too slow When my mind is running circles all around me. The world's a place to see when you're alone. And it leaves me with nowhere to go. Hello there my girl, you kiss me on the cheek. You're the cause of all my worry and my relief. If you were to leave, I couldn't stay in this place. I'd be gone without a trace. Now we've got nowhere to go, nowhere to go. They tell me to get ahead, say I'm moving too slow When my mind is running circles all around me. The world's a place to see when you're alone. And it leaves me with nowhere to go. I've been talking with myself most everyday. I've got no one to listen and a thousand things to say. You see me walking down that street, I turn to smile, she looks away.

Walking down the street fell on lucky she can't. Pretty damn sure I'm not the kind of man to feel the sidewalks echo on the side of my face. Instead, I'll watch the leaves and the seasons chase. This is a sign. It's time for her go So I invited her over to my home. We wait 'till the morning, I told her to leave, she looks at me like a thief says, "I Can't Believe, I Can't Believe." Played at a church for thirty dollars a day. Tried to submerge me, I asked for a raise. Then ran up the stairs, jumped on the cross, took a real good look at what we've lost. They think it's so complex, that it's so absurd how they say so little with so many words. The truth is the simplest way it seems. When he reads to me, I Can't Believe, I Can't Believe, I Can't Believe, I Can't Believe. The fan made me run, smoke hit the floor, when you're watching all this, gunna walk through the door. The moment can't wait when you've got to break. Pays on the way, but don't you stay with he cause you see nobody told me. When everyone lies it makes it hard to believe. And I Can't Believe, I Can't Believe. I Can't Believe, I Can't Believe.

Seeing You 04:51
Lately things have been so complicated. You know I don't mind hiding all the time. Why is it my love feels so sedated? There's a numb and restless stare in your eye. How could it be? I've given nothing but my best. I've shown you everything, I'm less than you expect. But seeing you smile back at him really makes me wonder If there's truly a reason to worry you'll fall. I catch you laughing beside him. It always throws me under And I feel like thunder. Oh babe, you see me dying. You tell me there's nothing you can do. You paint it out like I'm the only problem. After so many times, I believe it to be true. Now I'm riding away, a passenger in my mind. It's a hard thing to stop when you're pressure for money and time. But seeing you smile back at him really makes me wonder If there's truly a reason to worry you'll fall. I catch you laughing beside him. It always throws me under And I feel like thunder. So here we are, my girl, I need an answer. Make your choice; You can stay or you can go. If you stay, I'll love you forever. If you leave me now, I just want you to know. You mean the world to me to say the least. I'd be lucky to find a women half your worth. But after all I will carry on and feel much better. I might enjoy being on my own. I don't know what this life has in store for me. My eyes are set forward, I'm thinking fat.

Dream Title 03:40
When I was seven years, I fell asleep in bed. Kicked my feet out from the covers, walked the hall like I's dead. The space behind me shook, the floor was shifting fast. Piece by piece, uncovered holes, big, deep, black. Crying to fall in, my soul ached to give, But my body shocked up, told me to live. The bells are ringing on my high button shoes. And now... You don't talk to me, you don't talk to me, you don't talk to me(2X). I tried thinking hard 'bout all the things you said, But I've always got someones mission hanging over my head. If I ever stop pushing pick someone else in stead. Gotta keep on running to the place you're lead. So every night I'll lay in the dark, Fix the faces in my folded art, And ask myself when to break through. Cause the bells are ringing on my high button shoes. And now... You don't talk to me, you don't talk to me, you don't talk to me(2X).

Interlude 02:01
9.
Did you see the lines fly in the sky today? The planes left their dust but took my breath away. We're getting used to the pain. Now the crowd's here to stay just to watch for decay. Summer came early from 49th down to Main. We're in the sun and the rain. We're running short now, and we're displeased way more than you show. Did you see the stars set on the sea today? They dipped below the waters, darkness never came. We're getting used to the pain. Now I rearrange my room just so I can sleep. I wasn't sick last year but I've been sick three times this week. We're in the sun and the rain. We're running short now, and we're displeased way more than we know.

Sabotage the government, all eyes are on you. Missile of your cheap shots and you're up to lose. You're hopelessly confused. And I can't complain. Faster than a speeding ship. We've got to face this I-owe-you. Resting all your luck into the privileged youth And hope they can't tell. It's best to stay away from the wall. Comes falling down time, Be carrying it all. And I can't complain. You're no good for me yet I know that it's true. It's best to stay away from the wall. Comes falling down time, Be carrying it all. And I can't complain.

The Storm 04:18
The storm is waiting just around the bend. It will drive you crazy to sit and wonder when it'll hit. As the days grow longer, they seem much harder. I can see it on your face, it takes it's toll. So you cry and wonder why I stand beside you through it all. It's just to see your eyes when the raindrops turn to snow, babe. Now the clouds unleash their wait upon my neck. They beat, bend, break, batter, and shake my heart all out of place. The power corrodes my crumbling soul. So I fail to stand alone or stand at all. So I cry and wonder why you put up with all my nervous faults. Cause when you look at the pieces, nothing seems to fit. If you're tired of me know, why don't you quit? I've been waiting, and waiting, and waiting to make a change. The worst has past, my love. It's time to rest. Won't you lay your head upon my shoulder? I'll try my best not to wake you. But you know how restless my mind gets. You always see right through my empty silhouettes. Sometimes, I wonder how I got along before you. Then you grab my hand, the thoughts of lesser days are torn, But the storm is waiting just around the bend.

Ballad for Sarah (free) 04:20
Sara, you know you're my baby girl. I'll keep track of you as I'm rambling around the world For to lose a picture of you's to lose pieces of me. I'm quite susceptible to your touch. I must admit you're a bit too much to handle But it's oh so worth it to fill your needs. So don't walk too far away. I love you, just wait and you'll see. Don't mean to tally everything you spend. You feel me drifting. You try so hard To mend the situation flowing from cheek to cheek. You've done more than I could do. Still not excited, it's only the blues. I'm gunna bring it home, I love my misery. But don't walk too far away. I love you, just wait and you'll see. Pulled me up the mountain on a winter express. Told me later you couldn't suggest A better way to spend you're life than the muse of me. I thunk and thought the whole way down As we pondered hungry through the village town Asking every passer by if I should up and leave. But don't walk too far away. I love you, just wait and you'll see. How did I know this day would come? My mind would realize, heart would run, Knowing I dropped my sweet true lover to be. Does it make a difference if this house is a home? Does it really matter if I lay here alone? I'd tell you if you'd just speak to me. The thought was planted, I held it tight. Night after night, I put up a fight, Begging not to cut you with my words when I set you free. Then my actions start to slip and slide. I take my finger off the key to the ride Letting whatever needs to happen down and swallow me. Don't walk too far away. I love you, just wait and you'll see. Let's take a walk down Burnt Bridge Creek Where the memories shine and the air is sleek. Let's catch up, I crave your company. Don't walk too far away. I love you, just wait and you'll see.(3x)

Please Don't 04:43
Please don't say a single word to me. I'm alright, But just in case, cool your face. I'll shake it off by the end of the night. Or wake up under a tree to finally see, you're my true love in sight, Although love doesn't always mean that things are how they're supposed to be. Now we're getting pulled behind, the stakes are getting high. The fear becomes real, we're holding everything we've wanted to find. To feel our feet hit the rocks and watch the whole world drop. But just do you, and think it through. Pick and choose. I'm still the same young smiling cat. I knock 'em out like a baseball bat, But dropping chins and tugging hearts, that's my game. Sometimes I hate the way you look at me. I hold my head in shame. There's nothing stop a starving artist, he's too keen. They may say it's time to change when everything's in range. I'd rather change what I'm looking than feel so strange. So I'll meet up with a girl I knew and acquaint her with the moon. But just do you, and think it through. Pick and choose. Once again, it's not my fault If Daddy sees and Daddy calls. I'm doing nothing in spite of you. It's been too long. Well I'm not real, I'm a ghost in the night, And I'm feeling tight, let me fly. I think it's time to disappear. But just do you, and think it through. Pick and choose.

Intention 02:36
I had full intention to walk down to the dyke today. Had to turn away. Nostalgia made me gag when I thought, what a funny game you played. I dreamed I would see my friends, sitting around, laughing as we did then, With a girl who made me grin in a simple way. Below the bridge was broke, I was alone in the dead of May. Woke up in the evening with your words in my ear. It's been a year since I've heard you speak. The questions in your lovely voice still make me creak.

There she is sitting on the floor. Could she really be all yours? Then you see each other like never before. And you dance the night away. You leave your troubles behind. You pull in her waste and you say, Lady of the Night, Save all your dreams for tomorrow, And wade through the day of greater sorrow. Memories are just one moon away. Look at your steps getting harder to take. Your self fulfilled picture prophecy waits. She's seen it too but she'll never judge Cause she knows everyone needs a nudge. There's nothing but hearts that she takes, And her's is the kind free of grudge. She's adored by each friend that she makes. Lady of the Night, Save all your dreams for tomorrow, And wade through the day of greater sorrow. Cause memories are just one moon away. You know it's wrong to feel this way. You're right on track, but your head's filled with gloom. So you write her a song, and you confess your tune, And she smiles when the words slip your mind. Oh, she's got nothing to say. This woman's ahead of her time In her love and her work and her play., Lady of the Night, Save all your dreams for tomorrow, And wade through the day of greater sorrow. Cause memories are just one moon away.
