Secrets and Lies
05:34
|
|||
|
You tell me your stories and I wanna believe
You tell me your stories and you deceive me
They sound realistic, they sound true
But there's something about them that's not quite you
Secrets and lies, they're all secrets and lies
You're pretty good at a fanciful disguise
Secrets and lies, secrets and lies
You like drama, like to lay it on thick
Sometimes you lose control
But you get it back pretty quick
You can feign illness
When you don't get what you need
Or stamp you feet
When nothing else will succeed
Who are you now
OK, I'll play your game
Nice to meet you
What's your name
You say you love me but what does that mean
It's just something you say high, low or in-between
It is your world, we just live in it
You're so used to getting your way
You don't need to quit

Broken, I am broken
A million pieces all around
Broken, I am broken
Not good enough for the lost and found
Tore up from the floor up
Tore down from the top down
Wasted, I am wasted
I really look like total shit
Wasted, I am wasted
I just don't know where my pieces fit
Tore up from the floor up
Tore down from the top down
Broken, I am broken
A million bits scattered everywhere
Broken, I am broken
Watch me vanish in thin air

This Is Where I Came In
05:22
|
|||
|
My bones they are all brittle
And my muscles they sag
My body it feels, yes it feels
Like a wind-whipped old flag
I know the end is coming
It's not too far ahead
All the people I knew when I was young
They are now gone and dead
This is where, this is where I came in
This is where, this is where I go out
This is where, this is where I came in
This is where I go out
Not with a whimper but a shout
My heart is a-hurtin' and my legs they are so weak
I'm so filled up with anger I can barely speak
The world is fucking crazy
The world is unfair
You can stamp and scream about it and no one seems to care
Some people think I'm pathetic
When they think of me at all
I have no ways and means and no wherewithal
I'm out here on the edges
Singing this dumb old song
Don't matter if I'm right or if I'm wrong

The Ramble
04:17
|

|
Hey that's me out on a ramble
Yeah that's me out on a ramble
Out to where the air's all clear
Out to where I have no fear
Out to find the truth, I swear
I'm out on a ramble
Hey that's me out on a ramble
Yeah that's me out on a ramble
Out here on the open road
Out here with no fixed abode
Out here with my soul unbowed
I'm out on a ramble
Having me a dandy time
Drinking me some candy wine
Out here I got no phone
Out here in the vast unknown
Out here I can shake my bones
I'm out on a ramble
Hey that's me out on a ramble
Yeah that's me out on a ramble
Out here I got no name
Out here I got no claim
Out here I got no game

No Good in Goodbye
05:26
|
|||
|
I gotta say I barely knew you
But I guess now it don't matter at all
Maybe if I'd tried a little bit harder
I could've broke down your wall
I'm sure you got your reasons
I'm sure that they are sound
I'm sure you'd like to tell me
But then again you're not around
There ain't no good in goodbye
It only makes a sad ol' tune
There ain't no good in goodbye
Rather say see you real soon
You were so funny, could make me bust a gut
Then again you could always make me cry
You made lots of movies, some not so good
Wish you were here to tell me why
I'm sure you got your reasons
I'm sure you've worked them through
I'm sure you'd like to tell me
But then again you never bid me adieu
When you were high you were so very high
But when you were low you were down low
When you were high you were so very high
But in the end you had no place to go

Exit Plan
05:43
|
|||
|
Well I hung around as long as I could
Even though it was such a drag
It got so bad that I wanted to leave
I even packed my bag
Well we can pretend that we are in love
And I'll always be your man
But I know full well in the back of my mind
I got me an exit plan
You convinced me to stay
When I knew it was wrong
I went against my guts
We tried to make it work for the sake of the kid
We both were a little bit nuts
It's always best to have an out
Tucked away in the back your mind
So when things get rough you'll always know
Where to look for the exit sign
Well we struggled so hard year after year
But things never got any better
One day I awoke to find you were gone
And in your place was a letter

Little Ease
04:27
|
|||
|
You wear your black not by choice
But by design
And the design decrees it's so
And you must go along
It's what you do
You are draped from head to toe
You live your life in a box
And what you don't know
You just don't know
And what you don't know
In you go, in you go
Little ease
This is it, this is it
Little ease
We put you there because we can
We wield the power
We steer
Cry your head off we just don't care
We won't see
You weep a tear
We keep you hidden from the world
So that the world
Won't live in fear
So that the world

My Last Best Hope
04:58
|
|||
|
Yeah, once upon a time
The future belonged to you
But these days, these days
I'm not so sure
Something that's in you has changed
Something less pure
Once I looked at tomorrow
With some degree of hope
But now that's gone, gone, gone
It's been blown away
I'm no longer vested in what you say
Oh, no, no
I wanted so bad to believe in you
But then you went and showed me how you were untrue
OK, it's all my fault
Open up the wounds and pour in the salt
But before I go and swing from a rope
You should know you were my last best hope
Yeah, now I feel betrayed
I took you at your word
Now your word, your word
It don't mean nothing at all
I'm letting go of your hand
And putting up a wall
A big ol' wall

I Wanna Be Free
05:03
|
|||
|
Well everywhere that I look
That I look
All I see are lies, lies, lies
And somehow these lies now come as no surprise
All I really wanna do is find a place that I can hide
Somewhere where I can thumb a ride
Well everywhere that I go
That I go
All I feel is pain
And that's not something that'll help me sustain
All I wanna do is run away, run away in the night
Don't care if it's wrong or right
Wanna be free of this world, this world
Wanna be free from care
Wanna be free of this world, this world
I wanna vanish in to thin air
Well everyone that I love
That I love
Well they just leave me flat
And that's not something I would say is where it's at
All I wanna do bury my head deep in the ground
And listen to the dirt's sweet sound

Bless You
05:56

I told you a story
Of when I went and ran away as a kid
I told you a story
Of what I went and did
I ran to my friend's old tree house
And I sat for an afternoon
And the sun it moved behind the clouds
And I missed my home too soon
Bless you, bless you
Bless you my girl
I told you a story
Of when I went and ran away as a child
I told you a story
Of when I went and went wild
I climbed down from my friend's treehouse
And I crossed a mighty moat
And there stood my mom on the corner
In her dark brown coat

The Boho Weal
05:05
|
|||
|
Got a bad rap, bunch of ne'er-do-wells
Don't amount to nuthin'
Reek of strange smells
Sit around all day debating right and wrong
Smoke a lot of weed, no place that they belong
You can call them lazy and the way they act is crazy
They are a part of the boho weal
Like some kind of symbols of a sacred seal
And all of the secrets that they reveal
They are a part of the boho weal
They make it all up, don't seem to have a plan
Not very organized, not part of any klan
They can be frustrating, don't go by any book
Most of what they say sounds like gobbledygook
They do the unexpected and you can stand corrected
You can make fun of them and you can put them down
But you should thank your lucky stars
And be glad that they're around
They are kinda dirty, they could use a bath
But when you're feelin' low
They will make you laugh
They drink their cappuccinos
They quote their Kierkegaard
When it comes to being avant
They are always on guard
Their ideas are sometimes shaky
And they can be extremely flaky

I Hear Your Song
06:22
|
|||
|
I feel your pain
I feel your joy
I feel your strength
Nothing can quite destroy
I can see
No need to disguise
I can see
I feel likewise
I hear your song
I hear your song
I feel your love
I feel your hate
I feel your wounds
I can relate
I can see
No need to hide
I can see
See from the inside
