I'm the Same
04:41

Are we so different, you and me
I drink coffee and you, you drink tea
You love the night and I love the day
But we're together somehow, someway
Just look at me, I'm the same
It has to be, I'm the same
Absitively, I'm the same
I'm the same as you
Well I'm a mess and you, you are so neat
I am a vegan and you, you eat meat
You read the classics and I read my junk
You like folk singers and I like my punk
The world is a melting pot
Mixing the cold with the hot
We try to find that sweet, sweet spot
Alls well that ends well
I am the yin and you, you are the yang
I got my thing and you, you got your thang
Yeah we may argue and lose control
But in the end
We're just two halves of a whole
Well I'm the same
The same as you
I am a mirror
I do what you do
I am the same
The same as you

Be Brave

I got some scary shit coming up for me
Don’t know how I will handle it
No, there ain’t no guarantee
It’s gonna be painful that’s for sure
The condition could be worse than the cure
But I gotta, I gotta, I gotta be brave
Even though I know
Even though I know
I’m so afraid
I got an operation at the of the week
They’re gonna try to fix my shit
Like some old antique
It’s gonna hurt like holy hell
When they try to repair this broken eggshell
Who’s gonna save me
Who’s gonna save me now
Who’s gonna save me, save me now
I’ve always been a bit squeamish
When it comes to the flesh
Now they’re gonna be cutting into me
And putting in some kind of mesh
It’s not that I am a afraid to die
There are much worse things than saying goodbye

I Will Find You
05:09
|
|||
|
When I woke up this morning
You were gone, gone, gone
And where you went to I can’t say
You left no note
No clue for me to decipher
Nothing to point me your way
Don’t know why you did it
I had no indication
So why did you go
Did you just need a vacation
I will find you
I will find you
You and your beautiful hair
I will find you
I will find you
Even though you won't be there
I ran through the streets screaming
Where did you go, go, go
And my voice it echoed into the abyss
I spilled my guts along the sidewalk
And I got crushed by commuters
Who were consecrating a lover’s kiss
No one knew your name
No one recognized your face
No one said they knew of you
Never seen you in this place
I mean, Are you sure
Are you sure
I kept running till I was all out of breath
And a rain came down, down, down
My body seem to escape up into the clouds
And the view from here is perfect
And I can see it all clearly
Far above the maddening crowds
It was then I caught a vision
And it was all lit up to the nines
It was you and it was me
Some regular porcupines

Call of the Wild
04:32
|
|||
|
There's a sound in my ears
It brings me to tears, it keeps me awake
Makes me shake, shake, shake
There's blood on my lips
I taste it on my tongue
A thrust of the hips
The way we did when we were young
And the dogs howl
It's the call of the wild, the beast within
Can't be reconciled, it's the call of the wild
We're running at full speed
A new breed
We eat and consume but we've run out of room
Who do I love and who do I hate
Better sort that out
Before it's too late
And the dogs howl
The man turns away from the heart of the child
And then the man goes on the prowl
And the dogs howl
This is what we are
Why should it seem bizarre
We're good at telling lies
Why should that be a surprise
We leave our mark just like a dog
Never gonna change
We're buried in a fog
And the dogs howl

Not Coming Back
03:55
|
|||
|
Heard all the lies, seen all the insanity
Social media is just vanity
Heard all the stories, none make sense
Gonna get myself hence
See ya later, bye bye
Not coming back, no way, now how
Not coming back, not ever, not now
The world is nuts, the world is whack
I've done my time and I ain't coming back
Folks tell you stories, lie through their teeth
They think you don't see underneath
They say don't worry, it's all contained
But what they got is harebrained
See ya later, bye bye
I've had enough, I’ve had my fill
I'm crawling out of this crazy anthill
Heard all your cons, seen all your schtick
Only got myself the shit end of the stick
Watch all the news, none of it is real
Tell me how it is I should feel
What are you saying, what can I believe
When your sole intention is to deceive
Where does this leave me
Where do I go
Far away from this horror show

One day we will come
To the edge of the world
And we will stare into oblivion
And we may ask how we got here
It sure doesn't seem like that much fun
Time, time, time is never our friend
It stalks like the devil until the brutal end
Me and you and everyone we know
When you gotta go, you gotta go
One day will we walk in the light of truth
Till then we hide in the comfort of the dark
Gotta keep flailing all around and about
Or we will die like a motionless shark
Love, love love it's never enough
Why does life gotta be so goddamn tough
One day we'll discover one pure truth
Till then we must settle for a mess of lies
That's the way it's been and it always will be
Shouldn't come as any kind of surprise
Dream, dream, dream the best you can
Dream a big old dream is a pretty good plan

What a Way to Go!
04:12

Nina she choked on a marshmallow
And she died right on the spot
I wonder if she felt pathetic
And what was her last thought
Ho, ho, ho what a way to go
You can toil and you can try
But one of these days you will die
That’s a fact that you must know
You don’t want ‘em to laugh
What a way to go
Bobby died in flagrante delicato
With a woman who wasn’t his wife
Bet he never thought
That this was the way he would end his life
Ho, ho, ho what a way to go
You can struggle and you can strive
But none of these things
Will ever keep you alive
From the king of kings to your average Joe
When you’re toast you’re toast
What a way to go
Life is mean and life is sick
Life will play you the cruelest trick
You think you got it going on
Don’t you know you’re just a pawn
You think you got it all together
But one day your hand will slip from its tether
And what you gonna do
Ho, ho, ho what a way to go
Jimmy he died from laughing
No really, he died from a joke
He laughed so hard he could not breathe
And then he started to choke
Ho, ho, ho what a way to go
You can worry
And you can fret
You can fight every mortal threat
When the reaper comes
You can’t know
Ho, ho, ho what a way to go

Out of the Blue

Out of the blue
Everything changed
I wasn’t prepared for what was to come
It caught me off guard
Like something suddenly yanked my arm
It came to me out of the blue
It came to me out of the blue
Out of the blue
I lost it all
Or at least what I thought that I had
It blew me away
Like a terrible wind from the east
It came to me out of the blue
It came to me out of the blue
I should have known
I should have known
I should have known
I should have known better
Out of the blue
I turned invisible
No one recognized me anymore
I lost my marrow
And my blood thinned into vapor
It came to me out of the blue
It came to me out of the blue

Sorry Excuse
05:06
|
|||
|
Had no thought what I was doing
Had no thought where I was going
No one told me nothing at all
So I had no way of knowing
It's a miracle I made it this far
It's a miracle I made it all
I'm surprised I didn't blow up the world
It was a close call
I done all I could do
I done the best that I can
I'm a sorry excuse for a man
I am, I am
Had no thought what I was saying
Had no thought how I was acting
Never saw how I hurt my family
Or how they were reacting
It's a miracle I lived for so long
It's a miracle no one died by my hand
I could say sorry for the rest of my life
Hope that you understand
Had no thought how I was giving
Had no thought how I was taking
I think I thought I was being sincere
When I was really just faking
It's a miracle I did not lose you
It's a miracle you let me speak
I gave you cause to punch me in the face
And yet you turned the other cheek

I guess you probably think that I am a jerk
And I'm sorry if that's how you feel
OK well maybe I did one or things
Like not brush after every meal
I talked to my friends about making a change
And they said I should
So I say please don't hate me anymore
I promise I'll be good
Well you don't want to have to answer my call
And I'm sad you feel that way
I'll admit that I cheated a little but it was a little, OK?
I went and had a word or two with my priest
And he said that I should repent
So I say please don't hate me anymore
I hope this makes a dent
I really want to understand your anger
I really want to make amends
Will I promise not to lie anymore
Well, you know, that all depends
I'm doing the very best that I can
And my best is pretty good for me
So I say please don't hate me anymore
I hope you hear my plea
What's that, you say you don't trust me
You shouldn't but what would it hurt
What's that, you say that you hate me
And I should get my just dessert
Am I really such a monster
Funny 'cause I don't feel like one
So I say please don't hate me anymore
This hatin' thing is not much fun, that's all

Beyond Imagining
04:11

I will close my eyes
And I will hold my breath
And I will wait for a change
I hope it comes real soon
Tomorrow afternoon
When I'm at home on the range
One day I will go
In some dream of life
Beyond imagining
So I will spread my arms
And I will hit the heights
And I will find where I belong
I hope you wish me well
Hold me in your thoughts
Keep an ear pealed for my song
I will leave you here
I will leave this note
It’s the best I can do
It may be lame
It may be dumb
But at least it’s true
