In Your Hands (Part One) 05:47
lyrics
buy track
I am on the outside over here And you are over there ever near All I get to see are your eyes Your great green eyes they tell no lies You got my whole wide world In your hands You got my whole wide world In your gentle hands Please don't let me go Please don't let me go Nobody else will know No, no How deep down can you feel a connection What is real and what's a projection When all I want is to touch your heart And never, ever be far apart I know we will never be as one But when you say no way you spoil all the fun Even though this dream will come to naught Please let me dream it It's all I got

I Go to Sleep 04:40
lyrics
buy track
I pull up the covers and slip underneath Here is my truth Here is a wreath The things I have done could fill up a book My life's been a stage and here comes the hook I'm ready to go Ready to go I go to sleep and never awake I go to sleep The world I forsake Good night, good night Goodnight and farewell If there is a point I think I have missed it If there is a love I could never have kissed it A lot has gone right and a lot has gone wrong No need to regret No need to prolong I'm ready to go Ready to go If only you'd held me, if only you'd said yes If only, if only I'd be out of this mess I take some pills and then I take some more I slip away slowly, don't even snore If someone might miss me I won't ever know To the dirt I'll return Where flowers will grow I'm ready to go Ready to go

The Way I Feel 04:44
lyrics
buy track
I spend my days out here in the ocean Until I wash up on your shore You lure me with your secret song A song like nothing I've heard before Nothing's gonna stop the way I feel Nothing's gonna end this misery Nothing's gonna change The yearning in my heart Just what you mean to me I hear your voice in the dead of the night Which I tend to find a bit concerning But it speaks to me gentle and so sweet And it fills me with such yearning Who really cares if I humiliate myself Certainly not me I would do anything, anything at all If you would be my chickadee I feel your presence all around me I am sensitive to your vibration You will never know how deeply I feel But you’re my sole fixation

Last of the True Believers 04:34
lyrics
buy track
What do I do, what do I do Now that the past is lost Where can I live What can I live with Can’t afford the cost What can I know, when I can’t know Don’t know nothing no more This is not my life This is not my town This is not a world that I know It’s turned upside down For the last of the true believers The last of the true believers What can I say, why I can’t say it You see I’ve lost my voice Try to make it up but I can’t make it up I seem to have no choice What can I feel When I can’t feel Can’t feel nothing no more What can I dream, when I can’t dream They’ve all been blown apart I write a song, I bare soul I open wide my heart What can I hope When I can’t hope Can’t hope nothing no more No more life No more dreams No hope for nothing no more

On the Borderline 04:25
lyrics
buy track
They used to call me sensitive I’m too sensitive Because I always took things too much to heart They used to tell me to be a man Grow up and be a man And not let the little things tear me apart They used to say I felt too much Yeah I felt too much And it upset my applecart That’s what it means to be That’s what it means to be Out here on the borderline That’s how it feels to me That’s how it feels to me To be out here on the borderline They used to say that I was weak Yeah I was meek And I’d get crushed too easily They used to poke me in my wounds In my gaping wounds And I’d always let them get to me They used to hit me where I lived Right where I lived Me and my oversensitivity They used to say that I was frail Yeah fragile and frail And I would break into a million bits They used to get fed up with me All fed up with me And I just wanted to call it quits They used to abandon me Leave me high and dry With nothing left but my wits

Jumper 04:00
lyrics
buy track
I awoke this morning And I reached a certain resolve The puzzle of my life Was nothing I was ever going to solve Down, down I go Across this great expanse Bad luck and happenstance I take a giant leap This is my choice to make Alert and wide awake Ready as I am for the big sleep I awoke this morning And I reached my final decision There would be no going back So I leaned into my vision Out, out I go See me fly See me fly away I awoke this morning And I drew one last breath Nothing's standing in my way I am getting out of this living death Dream, dream, dream

Come On Back 05:56
lyrics
buy track
I know I am a lot to contend with I know I am a bother and a fuss I know I complain about every little thing I am a bitter ol’ cuss Sorry if I chased you away That was never my intent I wish I didn’t need to be so damn needy But I will never be content I been living on a border It’s not a pleasant place to be It’s a spot that’s neither here not there No it ain’t no jamboree Come on back to me pretty baby I didn't mean to scare you away Come on back to me little honey I promise I’ll be a-okay I know I can be quite contentious I know that I can bitch and moan It's all part of my DNA It’s the reason I’m forever alone Doing what I can to fight it But I can't seem to beat it back Whenever you say the slightest little thing I feel I’m under attack I’ve been living in a living hell That no one seems to understand It makes me behave like a goddamn jerk And things get out of hand

Gone for Good 04:32
lyrics
buy track
The sun still rises or more likely it don’t It’s hard to know for certain Maybe this life is a theater of the mind And I can’t see behind the curtain What I thought I knew I do not know And there ain’t no going back The world I lived is gone for good It’s all out of whack Gone for good The wife I married don’t hardly recognize her She’s like a stranger to me We made those vows, we swore an oath But that was a separate reality When I think about it, when I try to fight the fight It's like I’m pushing against a ghost Wanna kick it in Wanna run far, far away But there ain’t no signpost

Hell Ya! 04:33
lyrics
buy track
What do I want at this point What do I expect I’ll get To be honest not a single thing This wicky-wacky deal is winding down Or is it winding up Either way it’s on a downward swing Am I ready to split Am I ready to get gone Hell ya, hell ya What ahead is waiting for me What dream do I have left To be frank I don’t got no hope People got on their merry ways They got their happy days But me I’m at the end of my rope Am I ready to pack it in Am I ready to bid adieu Hell ya, hell ya Why should I bother at all Why should I give a shit Gotta say that there ain’t no reason I’ve had me some hi-de-highs I’ve milked for all that I could But now I am closed for the season

Honey Badger Doesn't Give a Shit 04:15
lyrics

She will eat you up for breakfast She will spit you out at lunch You are nothing at all to her Than a troll she likes to punch You can try to be her buddy Try as you must Honey badger doesn't give a shit She will leave you in the dirt Honey badger doesn't give a shit She just wanna, wanna make you hurt She will force you to submit to her And submit you will She will bring you down, down to your knees And then go in for the kill You can try to resist her Try as you might Honey badger doesn't give a shit She got a lotta gall Honey badger doesn't give a shit She's the baddest, the baddest of them all You can try to fight her Fight her if you dare But you will never beat her She can kill you with her stare She will eat you up for dinner And digest you overnight

All the good and the bad All the sane and the mad All the best laid plans, it’s all in your hands All the truth and the lies All the dumb and the wise All the best laid plans, it’s all in your hands You got the whole wide world Right there in your hands It is up to you, it is up to you All the right and the wrong Why can't they get along All the best laid plans, it’s all in your hands All the left and the right All the black and the white All the best laid plans, it’s all in your hands All the love and the hate All the poor and the great All the best laid plans, it’s all in your hands All the weak and the strong Why can't they get along All the best laid plans, it’s all in your hands

Dead Inside 03:42
lyrics
buy track
You gave up so long ago So many years I can't recall You left me there so far behind And you built a giant wall You say you gone dead inside Somewhere it all went black You say you’ve gone dead inside And nothing will ever bring you back You wiped your tender hands of me And filed me in a box The day that that deed was done and done For me it stopped the clocks How can I ever bring you back Ever bring you back to me What can I do to put it right How can I change our history I'm standing here before you now On the cusp of the abyss Should I step back or should I jump What part of me you will miss
