Run 02:05
lyrics
Run (warning! this is live and might not be exact) ha! Waiting, Desiring I have walked right into a trap Disillusioned, Conspiring I can do much better than Wait a minute, What is in it? Will it give me a heart attack? I'm losing all my marbles and I can't seem to put them back So I run I run, run, run, run run I am melting, I'm perspiring Has my focus been at a loss Had a hard enough time Trying to turn my head off Have I lost it? Am I failing? I'm sure it's all my fault At least I know that I'm the one responsible It is not your fault Should I run? Run Run Run Run Run I don't care but you remind me of me A mirror reflection, an image reflector It could never be You can stay with me until fall has come and All my money's gone Waiting, Desiring I have walked right into a trap Disillusioned, Conspiring I can do much better than Wait a minute, What is in it? Will it give me a heart attack? I'm losing all my marbles and I can't seem to put them back So I run I run, run, run, run run

Outlook 03:23
lyrics
Outlook (warning! this is live and might not be exact) ha! I just want to sleep I just want to cry I just want to lay me down to die Sometimes it makes me sad Sometimes it drives me mad Talking with myself Lying to myself I can hear a voice Thank god I have a choice I'm fortunate I know to live in this country Where freedom isn't free It's costing you and me Our families life expectancy Wake up, Stand up, Walk on, Hands up Look up, Stay Strong, Live life, Live long I can't help it when I'm waiting for you To drive this ship through outer space While I'm standing in the same place Seems odd I know to do something like this

Astronaut 03:53
lyrics
Astronaut (warning! this is live and might not be exact) ha! We wait, we watch The hatred swells We are so afraid of what they tell us The facts are wrong Someone is lying Better not trust anyone They keep lying You are flying You are an astronaut Keep on buying No use trying We are all astronauts We are all so angry You say you're not Denial explosions Connect the dots Spinning information In bytes and clips Video chains and audio whips They keep lying You're still flying You are an astronaut Keep on buying No use trying We are all astronauts You are amazed I am impressed They use big words on my TV set You are amazed I am impressed They use big words on my TV set They keep lying You're still flying You are an astronaut Keep on buying No use trying We are all astronauts

Valentine 02:53
lyrics
Valentine (warning! this is live and might not be exact) ha! I wrote a simple song A lovely Valentine To say I love you One hundred times A song with simple lines That you could memorize To be a song that perseveres Through one hundred thousand years Our hearts are so complex We don’t know what to expect You’ve always got my back You’re keeping me in check I would fall apart without you I love you 2x I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I I’m not afraid to tell you I love you I wrote a simple song A lovely Valentine To say I love you One hundred Million times Sung with simple lines That you could recognize A song that perseveres Through one hundred billion years Our hearts are so complex We don’t know what to expect You’ve always got my back Your keeping me in check I would fall apart without you /\ I love you /\ 3x /\ I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I I’m not afraid to tell you I love you

Sun 2 02:38
lyrics
Sun 2 (warning! this is live and might not be exact) ha! I need to see, I need to feel I need to feel your light upon my skin When you come around you bring me sanity Warm inviting sun I worship thee so In the winter depths of darkness The pain grows in my eyes My hand is cold to touch My body aches for warmth Take me in, get me out of this house Warm inviting sun I worship thee so Give me gardens by the sea The smell of ocean breeze A taste of love on the tip of tongue My head in the clouds and the rhythm of the sun Put my body in a sling between two trees for fun The warmth of the sand in the palm of my hands A drink of the nectar fermenting in the sun I'll take gold warm rain between happiness and pain Warm inviting sun I worship you so Warm inviting sun I worship thee so
10.
The News 02:57
lyrics
The News (warning! this is live and might not be exact) ha! I'm awake I'm alive I can crawl into the moonlit sky When I’m lost, when I lose There's no truth for me to chose Leaves me confused from the news, with the blues Without truth in the media Are we as blinded and shielded as we feared There's no time left to lose Overpopulate planet earth Nature here, over there Overlooked and we're under aware Running scared from the news, with the blues Without truth in the media Are we as blinded and shielded as we feared I'm confused by the news With the blues in the media We are as blinded and shielded as we feared

Walking Talking Drinking 03:28
lyrics
Walking Talking Drinking (warning! this is live and might not be exact) ha! I went out walking with myself I went out walking and talking to myself I went out drinking with myself I went out drinking and thinking to myself I went out wandering by myself I went out wandering and pondering to myself I was out dreaming with myself I went out dreaming trying hard to believe inside myself It’s been a long, long way back to you It’s been a long, long way back to you It’s been a long, long way back to you It’s been a long, long way back to you I went out walking with myself I went out walking and talking to myself I went out drinking with myself I went out drinking trying hard to believe inside myself

Book Of Stars 04:06
lyrics
Book of Stars (warning! this is live and might not be exact) ha! Well it seems like an age Since I left you behind The path we have left undefined I carry a weight That I just won’t let go It would be easier if I didn’t know There politics are fake We have lost all control Injustice makes me sick to my soul The leaders aren’t seen Senate puppets on strings Might as well be fairies with wings It’s a twisted cruel joke When we think we are great We’ve given the world fuel to hate No nothing is true Nothing is fact You cannot know Can you deal with that? If Jesus is sun The sun is so bright The book is of stars in the sky

Useless in Eustis 04:26
lyrics
Useless in Eustis (warning! this is live and might not be exact) ha! Just north of Rangeley in the mountains of Maine In the town of Eustis dirt roads are one lane We had plenty of beer and a trunk full of skunk Just what you need for a high, for a drunk With our guns on the rack there was no looking back When the pedal went down the cops sprung their trap Now we’re useless in Eustis The pigs tried to juice us and take away all of our guns The booze made us clueless We’re useless in Eustis Now we’re on the run With a 30 aught six and a box full of shells The bullets start flying when a young rebel yells At 80 miles an hour we’re risking our lives All I could think was my wife or the knife Hell if we get caught she’ll spit in my face She’s gonna be mad better keep up the pace Now we’re useless in Eustis The pigs tried to juice us and take away all of our guns We’re not ruthless or toothless Just useless in Eustis Now we’re on the run We’d been drinking all day. We’d partied all night When the tires kicked up dust we were out of sight Laughing and singing wait, what’s that a head Slammed on the brakes or we might be dead Nine big ole moose they were blocking the road Took out our guns and fired off a load Moose were every way running we didn’t kill one Cause we’re not poachers just guys on the run Now we’re useless in Eustis The pigs tried to juice us and take away all of our guns They sent moose to confuse us We’re useless in Eustis Now we’re on the run

Autumn 03:51
lyrics
Autumn (warning! this is live and might not be exact) ha! Could it be that we have just begun this journey Far beyond all reality Flipped, tripped and persuaded Almost forgotten, Almost jaded To the other side of the fallen rain Say we believe, Say we are gone Say we don’t belong here Even there I cry Entombed in the truth I see Even There I die Thoughtless loss to me Guess I’ll begin my healing now Once upon a time we could see into our souls Caring for our humanity Flipped, tripped and persuaded Almost forgotten, almost jaded On a search for inner peace to shine again Say we believe, Say we are gone Say we don’t belong here Even there I cry Entombed in the truth I see Even There I die Thoughtless loss to me Guess I’ll begin my healing now

Mother In-Law From Arkansas (warning! this is live and might not be exact) ha! She’s my mother in-law from Arkansas She’s the meanest woman I ever saw Fist clenched tight Looking for a fight My mother in-law from Arkansas I married the sweetest girl I ever met The prettiest girl so true you bet I wasn’t quite prepared to meet her mother yet I couldn’t believe what I did see Milk and cereal came flying all over me I did cry and she laughed herself silly She’s my mother in-law from Arkansas She’s the meanest woman I ever saw Spitting and a cussing and Smoking and a chewing My mother in-law from Arkansas Now I’ve known, I won’t forget 13 long years of blood and sweat My mother in-law isn't washed up yet She’s been plotting to take my life She threatened to kill me with our wedding cake knife She doesn't want her daughter to be my wife She’s my mother in-law from Arkansas She’s the meanest woman I ever saw Chuggin and a druggin Doesn’t like huggin My mother in-law from Arkansas She’s my mother in-law from Arkansas Talking with a slur of that Southern Drawl Fist clenched tight Looking for a fight My mother in-law from Arkansas

Wake 03:35
lyrics
Wake (warning! this is live and might not be exact) ha! I would like to create peace Passing through an inner me Take the time to wonder why Check myself to the other side I will wake unto the setting sun I will do my best to see that it is done I am here for you and me To wonder why and not agree Question law and authority Love myself Set me free I will wake unto the setting sun I will do my best to see that it is done I'm not sure my feelings are confused Mismatched and unattached to the things I know I love I will wake unto the setting sun I will do my best to see that it is done
19.
Don't Wait 03:18
lyrics
Don't Wait (warning! this is live and might not be exact) ha! I've tried and tried, I've tried so hard Just to keep it going Switch hook bait and peel my skin The universe takes it over It's true what they say It's harder this way I get along If I wait, wait, justify hate Just a moment longer Catch, flick, sting and steel my soul Will it make me whole It's true what they say It's harder this way I get along If you wait for the sun to drown You'll never, never get off your feet If your fear keeps you back from it You will never know victory
20.
Honestly 03:29
lyrics
Honestly (warning! this is live and might not be exact) ha! Honestly, I fell asleep when you were saying goodbye I’ve been so tired and unaware This dream has it’s control Honestly, my mind has been a mess I am starting to see more clearly Honestly, in the past I’ve made mistakes They’ve made me who I am I’m starting to believe I am good enough I am ready for it now Honestly, I couldn’t have done it without you by my side I’ve been keeping this dream alive It makes me realize I could do it along I’ve never felt this strong
21.
The Next Thousand Years 03:37
lyrics
The Next Thousand Years (warning! this is live and might not be exact) ha! In the next thousand years Will we move amongst the stars? Can we plan ahead that far? In the next thousand years Who will care for your blood? What will be your history? Get out of your head Get out of your mind We’re running out of time Bring back the love Bring back the high There’s no turning back this time In the next thousand years Will we move amongst the stars? Can we plan ahead that far? In the next thousand years Who will care for your blood? What will be your history? In the next thousand years Who will care for your blood? What will be your history?

Protector Provider 03:49
lyrics
“Protector Provider” (warning! this is live and might not be exact) ha! I hope I can be strong for you When you come along I watch the papers stacking up Sometimes I can barely breathe I wonder how we’ll ever make it through Somehow people always do. Call me Protector I’ll be there no matter what you do. Call me Provider I’ll do for you the best I can do I dream about you while I am still awake A vibrant mix of melody from a soul that tells the truth There’s so much darkness in this world I hope to teach you what you need To help you help other people too To leave this place a better place than the one you were born into Call me Protector I’ll be there no matter what you do. Call me Provider I’ll do for you the best I can do

What Is Real 06:08
lyrics
What Is Real (warning! this is live and might not be exact) ha! There is not a good reason why I should let go Of what is bothering me Just a parasitic tick a tick you would like to burn off The blood still poisons me Even though I’m small My big idea is tall In uncomplicated lines I tell you how I feel Without a care or thought in structure we get caught Help me while I suffer What is really real? What is real? Tell me, Tell me How you feel Touch me. Hold me. Soothe me. Warm me. Help me. Control me. What is Real? (warning! this is live and might not be exact) ha! I need to make a change but My brain stays the same Could you start by killing me These feelings, Swelling,growing, feeding Keep the pain where I stick The air is thick and full My head is caving in My feelings overwhelmed My blood is getting thin I’m lifting off my hat to cool my dreams of hate Fuel for my illusion What is really real?
24.
Change My Mind 03:37
lyrics
Change My Mind (warning! this is live and might not be exact) ha! You don’t like this You don’t like that It’s all I hear from you You tell me how you know what’s good for everyone but yourself You can’t see the fear that’s in your eyes Open up my friend Come on, sit right down Tell me all of your fears Get it off your chest Put your mind to rest Let’s try and make it all clear You complain in a universal style You relate by bringing the mood down You don’t grow you just keep picking the pieces up You don’t change, you expect the world to stop It's time you realize you don’t have it figured out You probably never will Except your fate it’s time to make a change You’ve been stuck like this for so long Change my mind Heal my soul Meditate Increase control
