Righteous
02:49
|
|

I don't want to seem righteous
I don't want to seem like I don't fight this anymore
'Cause I'm fighting every day.
Don't you dare go walking out of here thinking I don't mean it.

Bottom of the Bottle
04:22

I know that there's an answer at the bottom of the bottle waiting for me to drink it.
I hope that there's an answer at the bottom of the bottle waiting for me to drink it.
I know that there's a problem waiting at the bottom of the bottle for me to drink it.
I've got a sweet tooth for some liquor
don't matter if you stop me
I'll just find a new way of getting liquor
cause I'm a sick dog

Sidelines
04:44
|
|
||
|
I think it's safe to say
I've been living on the sidelines
watching life slip away
I've been drinking myself down the drain,
I've got no one to blame,
No one did this besides me
Led my own life astray
Did it all on my own two feet.
But I can't let it go on any longer,
Deja vu I've said all this before.
But fuck it, I can't do this without you
No I'm only gonna bring me down.

Help Me, Help Me
07:03
|
|

|
I've been dreaming that I'm wide awake
I keep making all the same mistakes
I keep falling but I'm standing straight
and nothing's gonna stop me till its much too late.
I'm a loner to my own surmise
Can't keep no one in this life of mine
Everybody tells the same old lie
That I have got the problem so I say goodbye.
I keep praying that I'll see the light
That somehow it'll turn out right
But i lose myself each and every night
'cause I ignored the battle and I take up flight
I wander to the bottle and I find my might
but i have passed my limits and I lost this fight.
I'm hitting Rock Bottom
and I can't do this twice
I only wish I'd listened when they said "Heed our advice"
When I'm walking at night and I can't see the light
I'm saying Help Me, Help Me

To Allow
04:37
|
|
||
|
It's just a little chilly in the morning
think I might go back to bed.
I don't need to know where I'm goin'
I've just gotta go 'cause time keeps flowin'
I'll just find the way without knowin'
There's no right or wrong
There's no wrong or right
I choose to allow, to Live without a fight
It's all just spectrums baby like shadows in the light.
Just keep it simple take it one day at a time
Keep moving forward there is no need to rewind.

Shovel and Pick
03:09
|
|

|
I don't think that I can dig any deeper
I don't think that i will like what I find within
I don't want to dig any deeper, 'cause I'm fine here on the surface.
Sitting down at a park bench with a good ol' buddy
Gonna tell him all my secrets
Don't matter who dun dunnit just get 'em off your shoulders
Them dirty little secrets.
Just write it down
and let it out
Don't be the judge.

Masks Off
08:49
|
|
||
|
When the mask comes off
and I've stripped away my inhibitions
I see a whole way of livin' I've been missing
'Cause myself was much too scared
When the mask comes off
and I've taken in some words of wisdom
It's like I've finally been released from prison of the mind
I never tried to let go.
I've simply found a way of living that rings truer to myself
As if the games my mind were playing have grown old
I choose today to live a life, as if this life of mine's worth living
As if each breath that I take is laced with gold.
(As if each step that I take's a story told)
What good does it do to lie to myself?
All this lying to myself is bringing me down.

I've got a lot of doors opening
and I choose to walk through them
I know there's no way of knowing lord
But it all comes from you and I'm connecting the dots
I'm just flowing baby
Turning left, turning right till I get somewhere.
Serendipitous Synchronicity
I just do what feels right and I'm getting somewhere.
I don't want to go down that road again
I don't want to trudge down that path again
'Cause I've been there before ('Cause I know where it leads)

Amends

|
I don't think I've tried to make up for my wrongs
Please forgive me darling if it seemed to take too long
Somewhere in my mind the words are floating 'round
Maybe in a letter I could try to write them down
Or maybe it'd be better if we met somewhere downtown.
It'd probably go something like this:
It's a little awkward seeing you like this
The last time we were together you were really pissed
You see I didn't bring you here to reminisce
I've got something eating at me, and here I am just wasting more time
I keep on stalling, and all i want to say is that
I am so so Sorry for all I've put you through
Please Forgive me.

Off the Rope
03:15
|
|
||
|
I don't want to watch this
I don't want to see you fall of the rope again
I'm watching you helpless,
I've done all I can for you my lost and lonely friend
I know it's a struggle to try and stand on your own two feet
and fall back down just to hit that ground
But I know you can do this if you try,
'Cause if you try it all gets better.

Thumbs Up, Heads Down
03:10
|
|
||
|
If you're traveling down the West Coast and you see me
With my arm stretched out and my thumb raised to the sky
will you grab me cause I'm lost baby and I'm looking for a ride.
If you walk into a room tonight and you see me
With my head laid down as if I'm just trying to hide
will you grab me cause I'm lost baby and I'm trying to get right
Don't think twice just keep your heart open.

Steps
03:44

|
I know I'm just a single drop inside a big ol' ocean
But that don't stop me flowin' ahead
and Ooh honey it's a big ol' drop down if you fight that motion
Don't go against the grain instead
You're gonna say you can and you're gonna try it
You can't deny it, something's burning deep inside
Just take a step a day at at time cause time's flying by ya
So Go On.
I can't wait to see him standing at the gates
He's saying "Son ya did it, you showed them how to live this life"
and I know it's hard in the thick of it, but don't think of it
Just take a step and live your life!!
