Track List
- Under the Sun
Live in the now
Live in the day
Live in the summer
Listen to sounds
Listen to waves
Stay there forever
You got the time
You got the brains
You never use them
Carry me home
Carry the weight
Carry onUnder the sun
Live in a cage
Live in the rage
Breathe underwater
Live on the beach
Live in the sand
Sleep without shelter
You won the prize
You are alive
You have protection
Married to the mother of your child
But there’s no affection - All I Think About Is You
Trying my best but it made me stress
You were the last one I thought I loved
From the moment we met, a clear vision hit
That you’d fit me like a glove
I had it planned out like an architect
How we’d move away and so…
Well, it’s been 3 whole years and I got no tears
Now, all I think about is youI’ve been known well to be alone
It’s cuz I don’t want to compromise
I’ve seen my friends all hit the illusion stick
Just glad I still feel alive
I’m not sure I’ll be good at this
Whoever said its black and blue?
Don’t think I could just let it go yet,
Cause all I think about is youAll I know is I’m still caught up in a maze
I don’t do well with commitment or the adolescent phase
I know I want to change it but there’s nothing I can do
Still got these bones, flesh for home and all I think about is you - Backyard
I was on a bicycle circling the ave.
Went headfirst into a wall
Shoveling the snow away
Pictures that were buried under rhinestone
BarebonesIn the backyard
This is just a place where I met some bird on a wire
In the backyard
Sitting on a bench as I wait for you to transpireBack to 2143
Thinking about the time I used to be so scared
That I must hold on tight to Rocky’s leash
Skating on the ice until I slipped hard
ConcussedAll I could do is stay there with you
All I could be is lost memory - Slip
Helpless, now you need to carry on
Moments from the bullet and the gun
No ones gonna tell you how to live
In a box of old film negativesFrom the inside you’re a hollow shell
Turn me over, she will cast a spell
All the things you think you own
All the people that you’ve known
All your friends knew you would change
Let your life just slip awaySleepless, are you meant to sleep all day?
Wash the smell, the hell you need to pay
Dig a hole straight into the ground
The good life lies in the lost and foundFrom the inside I’m a hollow shell
Turn me over, he will cast a spell
All the things I thought I owned
All the people that I’ve known
All my friends knew I would change
Let my life just slip away
All your friends knew you would change
Let your life just slip away - Felix
Felix was a friend of mine from ’85 to ’89
Back when life was so naive and simple
He lived in a shady neighborhood
The boy was never understood
Passed the tests but grades were never goodFelix, can you tell me are you alright?
I got some catching up to do with you
I know I failed at being a friend
It took me to the bitter end
So, I see some patching up to doWe was playing with our wrestling toys
Imagination had a voice
I believed that staying young’s a choice
If I could take you back in time
I’d say I’m sorry and out of line
Listen kid, you were a friend of mineFelix, do you remember how we sat there,
Racing cars and trucks to pass the time?
Even as a kid I was afraid to fight you just because
You were the strongest one I ever knewBreaking televisions, playing fetch and catch outside
Maps and treasures, ten more letters saying “I apologize” - I Can’t Go To Any More Funerals
Been waiting around 8 months to die
It’s gonna hit us any day now and we don’t know why
The Nursing homes and the hospitals don’t lie
You were a big brave heart from the very start
Sailing on an iceberg as we drift apart
A life cut short at the age of 55No, I can’t go to anymore funerals
A bleak reminder, how long are we going to live?12 years old there was nothing to lose,
We were finger pickin’ rhythms Kings Highway blues
You always were like a second mother to me
From a late diagnosis to comatose
It was difficult to process till we gave up hope
Now this heavy medication’s gonna take its toll on meNo, I can’t go to anymore funerals
It’s a superficial self indulging sceneI keep telling myself that you’re in a better place
After all the pain you’d been through, you left without a trace.
Heartbreaks and the memories, was it just a passing phase?
You were beautiful and someone I could never replace. - The Good Son
Empty concert halls and late phone calls
I will be the good son
Concrete walls in dirt cheap malls
I will be the good oneI’ll do my best to be around
and promise not to let you down
I’ve tried to make you proud since I first left youAs the madness burns the midnight oil
I will be the good son
As I walk this lonely world in toil
I will be the good oneI’ll do my best to call tonight
I will be the good son
And I’ll let you know I’ll be alright
I will be the good one - Storylines
Doing what I’m never told
Fighting time, I’m getting old
I know it’s true
Ignorance is happiness
I can’t lie I’m starting to miss the days with youSitting in a living room I’m spitting out my life
A home inside a fairy tale, Imaginary wife
I could never get it right
So, where do I belong?
Will I surrender to you?They told me I would find the one
Waiting under the setting sun
Just storylines
Been living in the biggest lie
Where all succumb to 9 to 5
I am their satelliteWill I ever get some sleep?
I’m turning out the light
My mind is racing overtime
While day turns into night
I’ll never take my medicine
But maybe now׳s the time
Should I surrender?
Yes I surrender
My life could matter with you - Open Arms
I think about you whenever I’m in need of a muse
Down and under the weather cuz I’m holding your noose
And it seems like nobody wants your lucky charm
Always waiting to catch you, open arms
I can see you’re exhausted, there’s a tell on your face
Now the dead horse is beating you, the one you refuse to replace - Hover
We’re both so incomplete
I’m paper, you’re butterfly
Heart broke, we choke
I’m already yours
Blank canvas, quantum leap
I’m sailing your colored seas
Unsure, we cure
No way to endureI’ll hover on your air
You’re smart enough to care
So, Open up tell me
Just don’t waste your time
Atleast you’re being aliveJaywalker on your street
A floater beneath your feet
Blue skies, false tries
No room for the lies
We’re both so incomplete - Visible
Stating the obvious
Covered in black
Have I made up, made up my mind?
Nothing here aligns in the same way more than twice
It’s a long intermission and I’m losing ambition
The junction where I can’t decide
Anybody can recognize
Use your eyesI’m a hopeless romantic and a failed automatic
Living by the side of the road
Tell me, when did my livelihood go so cold?Stolen identity kept in a box
I’m a stranger to love at first sight
When did I become so crazy?
You just might
We’re addicted to this being alone
Have we made it to the finish mark?
Lamp light turns into darkI’m the wrong kind of person in an optic illusion
A late night reading a book
Won’t you take a look
Am I visible? - Adulthood
I don’t want to live in adulthood
Reaping all the years from my childhood
Riding on a mat down a staircase
Crashing into life like a new wave
Years were passing by as the time stood
Rolling in the filth used to feel good
The child in me is hanging by a thread of hope
Safer in the swing of a jumpropeHey now,
Hurts to know that we’re all unveiling our debris
Hey now, If you go let me know if heaven’s above me
I don’t want to live in adulthoodI will never say “when I was your age”
I’m still a punk inside, I’ll never hide the rage
As long as I move on I’ll get through it
And when my body breaks , I’ll say screw it.
Slashing through my heart like a fish hook
The deep cuts of my life in a songbook
It’s hard to see them fade or just disappear
One day it will be me and I’ll be outta here.Hey now,
Hurts to know someday soon you may be leaving
Hey now, If you go let me know your struggle by all means but,
I don’t want to grow upHow can I go on?
Life won’t let me
I can’t see Hanna cry
It upsets me
I share myself with you
I’m an open book
The story of my youth is my outlook
And I’ll never wear a skin that I’m not used to
Growing old is hard, why do we have to?
Transitioning to some is a closed door
I won’t replace a wound with an open soreHey now,
Hurts to know that we’re all unveiling our debris
Hey now, If you go let me know if heaven’s a real thing
I don’t want to live in adulthood
