Oh so quietly come in creeping with a wild and wicked grin And calmly sweep up all my plans and then just throw them to the wind Cos i'm sure nothing stays the same, it seems like everyone i know Found once they finally go to hold it that they couldn't let it go So how about trying to learn the game? Instead of trying to change the rules It's what you want that makes you weak and beg and grab and look a fool When in the end what you're stuck searching for, you ain't never gonna find No what you're looking for ain't out there, it's just pictures in your mind With cold fate, nothing we can do but wait Nothing we need choose or change Just try and learn a little along the way But that's all easy enough to know and much more hard to understand When faced with either letting go or having it torn right from your hands Cos there ain't nowhere you can run and think that time ain't on your heels When you find life's too short to find it you'll settle up and make a deal With cold fate, nothing we can do but wait Nothing we need choose or change Just try and learn a little along the way

There's a hundred kinds of lonely And you'll be bound to see them all If you can't find a friend in me Then you won't find a friend at all I gave you all that i could give you Gave you everything i had You left me standing here with nothing You took everything and ran Poetic license with your soul Is just a tale to tell your friends You told me that same old story And i don't like the way it ends You appeared right out of nowhere Sure and real though you did seem It wasn't til i tried to hold you That i found out it's just a dream

Contentment 05:07
I wouldn't mourn the long dark days if i was locked up on my own At least i could dream about escape and slowly pick away the stone But when the only wall that holds you's that you've nowhere else to go There's just a long trodden road that says it runs much further than you can I didn't mean to place contentment up so far off out of reach, it's just before i'm Pretty sure i felt something so strong that now it can't be beat, that's what it seems like And i see all the people moving but i'm stuck here in one place I've chewed all of these routines beyond the point they've lost their taste And i've been trying to drive away but you've had your foot stuck on the brakes ever since that one time Restless turning back and forth and struck in never ending tides Where all you build upon your beaches lay dismantled by and by And you can stand and fight for ground against the waters on the rise Until the seas get wild and the high walled waves chase you in land I didn't mean to place contentment up so far off out of reach, it's just before i'm Pretty sure i felt something so strong that now it can't be beat, that's what it seems like And i see all the people moving but i'm stuck here in one place I've chewed all of these routines beyond the point they've lost their taste And i've been trying to drive away but you've had your foot stuck on the brakes ever since that one time

Tatters 02:49
First i struggled at my tether Til at last my ties were tattered and frayed And i pulled til i got loose But now i fear I'm drifting away You were my prison and my shelter Now I'm only out in the cold And I've been so long out searching But i can't find a place to rest my weary soul Cos it turned out freedom's just searching Searching for some meaning to find And how I've ruined my body For trying just to reconcile my mind Now when the sun comes tomorrow Well it will not raise me up from my bed Cos while my body lays sleeping I'll be keeping all these troubles from my head

Being Herd 04:30
I'm lost since when did being heard mean just your name and not your words? It's about the size of what you're saying not the stage you say it on For those who throw themselves at music not for love but just to use it Once they've had their fun they'll leave you just as empty as your song Seems like to you it's just a verse, like nothing's real its all rehearsed Like you don't care for where you are now only where it leads you to And as for me it's mostly preaching, saving none of those i'm reaching Half the time you'd find i'm guilty just like you But it ain't me out chasing credit down the cheapest road to get it It ain't me who claims its passion when it's fashion, fame and lust For whats the point in being adored when noone really knows what for? To say that everybody loves you? That's like saying noone does See those false promises you've bought are ruining art and killing thought And it ain't you that's on the up it's just the average coming down Now noone cares for what things mean and half the world's off selling dreams There ain't no artists anymore it's all just opportunists now

Contradicton 02:46
If there isn't contradiction don't you know you're only stuck out on one side? When we surely should be finding out the truth instead of wrestling with our pride And don't get stuck in all your rituals to the point you find your hands and feet are tied When it's because of blind belief or because we think we cannot change that we're denied You're believing in some clever words you heard somewhere and calling them your own And so convinced of your opinion and your argument, you'll never let it go For those who stick to one direction, it sure enough in time will lead them to a wall But don't be afraid to change your mind, don't be afraid to change which side you fall. It doesn't matter if it's real or if it's something i made up Cos if it's something that i feel then to believe it is enough But you don't believe in all you hear, why be so sure of all you see? When if there's one thing that I'm sure, it's that there ain't no certainty

I'm going out on the highway Listen to them big trucks whine I'm going out on the highway Listen to them big trucks whine White freightliner Won't you steal away my mind New Mexico ain't bad lord People there they treat you kind New Mexico ain't bad lord People there they treat you kind White freightliner Won't you steal away my mind Now it's bad news from Houston Half of my friends all died Well, it's bad news from Houston Half of my friends all died White freightliner Won't you steal away my mind Oh lord I'm gonna ramble Til I get back to where I came Oh lord I'm gonna ramble Til I get back to where I came And that white freightliner's Gonna steal away my brain

Old Man 04:24
What day or night was it you woke and found that life had crept behind you? Left you wearing down a memory like an old tape cassette Maybe it's down to age and time and that's what makes you so much wiser Maybe it's just the fear of knowing that you ain't got too long left So tell me all about your life old man, tell me about your story Please just try to tell me something that i can't already see See every time i stop and ask they seem to send me some way different And i'm starting to suspect that they're just all as lost as me They say the ties of youth and recklessness are bound to go together Mistaken ways of living free until that freedom's all used up But i've known folks right near the end who say they've barely even started And i've known folks who long before that time will say they've had enough For all we look we only witness one small part of something bigger Those not scared of being wrong about it don't deserve to know Some will search their whole damned life away and still never get it figured Some will never even look and claim they've seen it even so

December 04:04
The snow is falling and it freezes the land Sleep by the fire and warm your hands But it doesn't warm a cold heart The snow is falling and the leaves are dead A sight to admire but you're crying instead Cos it doesn't warm a cold heart A new year's coming, a new start What's your name? The snow is falling and the leaves are dead Sleep by the fire and warm your head But it doesn't warm a cold heart A new year's coming, a new start What's your name, where do you come from? What's your name, where do you come from? What's your name, where do you come from? I feel your pain, i fell in love once In December, i thought those days were over But i keep looking back, looking back over my shoulder for her What's your name, where do you come from? What's your name, where do you come from? What's your name, where do you come from? I feel your pain, i fell in love once in December

Leaves 06:25
In the plight to make us equal Seems only losers stand to gain Instead of climbing up they'll pull you down Until we all end up the same Those who's greed won't let you grow are much less dangerous Than the ones who'll cut you down with conscience on their side In the rush to make it righteous And in the fight to make it fair Well don't you tear up something beautiful Just so we each can have our share Those who's greed won't let you grow are much less dangerous Than the ones who'll cut you down with conscience on their side I may find my leaves are shaded But i won't cut you down oh no Cos if the high and tall can take it all Well then it;s up to me to grow Those who's greed won't let you grow are much less dangerous Than the ones who'll cut you down with conscience on their side
