One In A Room
08:40
|

sometimes I just want to be alone
sometimes I don't want to leave home
don't want to look at my phone
just want to be on my own
I don't want to see my baby now
crying off in a room somewhere in the early light
it's too early in the sunlight baby on top of how it all seems
and I try to look in her eyes and I saw everything
well the ends coming sure
the "yes" in a rule
I keep on walking away
my body assumes
so why do you care?
care?
I imitate
we're all complaining love is real
collect how you feel
watch it all slip away
watch it all slip away
watch it all slip away
watch it all slip away
away
In the words it takes to make ends meet
one step my falling eyes complete
wash away don't wear parking now
there's someone trying to keep an abortion down
there's someone trying to keep it around
I see the end has come I don't want it around
oh my, oh gee cigarettes for me
I wanted with somebody is somebody to leave
keep away all the moments so easy to do
baby find you someone gonna pull you through
mess around with some big dog, let him lead us around
it's a time and a place that you keep in your mind
and falls down in pieces left for you to find
and the world is so sweet, man tell me that it's easy to do
baby One In A Room.

Play It As It Lays
06:43
|

I watched it end the other day
set my old cold collapse of clay
in the hours I don't believe in me
everything my faith beat out of me
is it cruel, is it cave, is it old, is it lame, is it me?
is it something you need, is it me that you feast on week after week?
my only fate we all agree
my bloodied eyes my only reprieve
set my beliefs to brighter seas
tonight I race towards a righteous feast
Am I alone or am I to waste?
I see the answers written all over your face
is it cruel to believe that there's someone to root for me?
once in awhile did it come back around to my sole belief
am I crazy?
am I crazy for thinking this way
Play It As It Lays.
Play It As It Lays.
oh watch me fade
watch it come
watch the world feel light as any moon
feel it come
feel the brightness of the moon
feel it come
set behind me walking down
we're the same as a raining novel

No Enemies
05:21
|
|||
none of my ends are really edgeless
none of my enemies are down anymore
I was cold and alone in the city
I was leaving the coup de grâce
I was always out in the open
going back aways
and the airwaves are running thin
and they're calling somebody again
hear the sound way back in your head
No Enemies.
No Enemies in the air
no silence where your soul should be
keeping all my fondness around
see the emptiness again and it's fee
I seemed cold as the clay
I was always away
keeping on my way, you see
am I falling away
am I keeping inside of me?
so?
am I wasting too much time?
I'm not sensing peace of mind
sinning's always on the line
keeping always up on the time
is there time?
was there time?
all the time?
it's a war, it's away
it's a keep any way for love
it's the ball, it's the chain
I see all my comfort hang
oh, nevermind...

Illusion
04:03
|
|||
I had a dream
but it gets harder to move toward every day
I've got
something on the tip of my tongue
that I
still want to say
but I can feel it all
all
slipping away
I can feel it all
all
slipping away
I look around the room
at all the reminders of the man I wanted to be
I couldn't finish anything I started
I couldn't
make myself believe
that I was something more
oh it's all Illusion...
but I feel like time
is running uphill
oh I keep getting older
and it feels easier to
just stand still
well there's a vision of in my mind of who I wanted to be
but when I look inside the mirror I'm confronted by me
I'm not trying
to move towards my best

Alibi
12:05
|
|||
know myself a million fold
scared my soul's already sold
and I say a rare hello
and my mind keeps bringing me home
maybe now
is the perfect time to say goodbye
maybe now
is the perfect Alibi.
maybe now
is the perfect time to finally say
and watch it all
watch it all
slip away
come back home
come back home
come back
home
I'm on my own
on my own
on my
own
watch it all slip away
watch my car pulling out of the driveway
driving down the street
oh the passing streetlights glimmer
driving out of town
feel all my
memories grow dimmer
and the saints, the saints are on their way
they call, they fall, they fight, they pray
I'm tired of living this way
watch it all, watch it fall
I don't know my heart at all
is it always this hard finding the right thing to say?
better off, I'm off, I'm on my way
I imagined my woman the other day
said "bay, bay, bay, baby, baby come back...
come back, come back, come back to me
I want to start a family
oh and if you want
you can marry me"
oh but I don't know my way back home
to that safety zone
in my heart and mind and soul
I'm deep in a hole
build my walls and I'll be there
I fall asleep in bed
all my convictions are away
somewhere deep inside my head
I can't find words enough to know
the sound
of being
alone
watch her bend
against the wind
that blows out of my soul
breathe it in
don't ever lose control
I need love, need love
need something new
not something I've just grown used to
I'm tired of the same old routine
oh no no
I'm just unburdening my heart
I'm just breathing in
not letting new feelings start
then you walk in the door
and I don't know why I needed something more
but every time you're gone
I get the feeling something's wrong
why can't I shake these restless blues?
oh why can't I shake these
godawful blues?
oh why can't I shake these
godawful blues?
oh why can't I shake these awful blues?
you said I was somebody to you
and the boundlessness around is somebody to choose
I think about it, all about you
oh the closing of these bodies brings me down
oh the closing of these bodies brings me down
said you don't want to die alone
I think I'm all washed up
said you don't want to die alone
i think i'm giving up
well we all want somebody
and we're crazy for going it alone
yeah we all want somebody
and i'm keeping on my throne
send away the love you give me
to the wandering of my mind
til won't oh somebody
give me peace of mind
guess i'm leaving on the airplane
guess i'm leaving on the train
and i'm picking up direction
and i throw away the flame
and i'm back again with nothing
leaving nothing to my name
and i'm happy where i'm going
but i'll miss you all the same

Prayer
10:47
|
|||
when i'm alive
send me from this evil place
i'm sliding back
the more i'm sounding grace
just leave me out
come back, i miss you
out of reach
baby the sounds
completely give it away
oh baby it's a falling waste
oh it's a waste
be watchful it don't slip away
be watchful it don't slip away
now watch that it don't slip away
watch that don't slip away
watch out, you're falling asleep again
watch out, you don't even love again
i just want to be in love again
make sweet love to me once again
baby it's a fallen leaf
baby it's come from myself
now baby it's a fallen tree
watch it all away
all leaves in a vase
baby
oh leaves in a vase
well i slipped inside
out in the air today
i was on the distant shore
i was gold in the clay
and the windows were up and
out in the warm coming rain
well i've been wondering the same thing about it
i've been wondering the same thing about it
but you don't want to know this time
no you don't want to know this time
another cig and all
all
is there a rocking bed somewhere?
is there a rocking bed somewhere?
it's an illusion
it's an illusion
it's an illusion
it's an illusion
(Prayer.)
oh my God
i need you this time
yeah i'm back again
and i got some things on my mind
see i've been cold and alone, i need you
and i don't think anyone else
can heal me like you can
or to bring me back to health
oh i'm so scared by all this illusion
well i'm so scared by all this illusion
oh my God again again my God this time
oh well i'm singing the blues
i'm singing the blues
oh my God again,
it seems my only friend
is Love
to the world...
world.
