Sod is Good
01:58
|

So often we will find-there’s a mixture
Among muck, mud, and grime shining so pure
Steering with vehicles hardly rehearsed
Figured it most useful to know this first

Placeholders
02:09
|
|||
Words are placeholders for things I can’t express
Strung in sentences to form thoughts I repress
There just somethings that I know we won’t address
Even though those are what led to this whole mess
I can’t forgive
A cut so new
Blood flows from flesh
From where you drew
Thoughts are dreams in my mind that I can’t control
Led to shrill devices they sure take their toll
Where there once was substance now reveals a hole
All these grievances will be paid back in full
I can’t forgive
A cut so new
Blood flows from flesh
From where you drew
Don’t tell me how to feel
‘Cause I’ve made up my mind
How can I forget a steel
When it’s still in my side?

Many Minds
06:11
|
|||
This world has many eyes
Some with tears
Some are bright
But mine can only see you
There are thousands of hands
Building things
Making plans
But I just want to hold you
Even though I don’t deserve you
No one this world will do
There are throngs full of ears
Listening, not all clear
But mine just long to hear you
There sure lots of lips
Saying things
Sometimes slip
But yours I just want to taste
Even though I don’t deserve you
No one this world will do
Your letters are received
but not deserved
I don’t deserve them
My heart is waiting ‘cause
It’s been reserved
Reserved for
One whom will make me
part of something new
I can’t believe it
Better than I am by myself
Its true true I mean it
There so many minds
Some with thoughts
Some behind
But you are all that’s on mine
This world holds many hearts
Some are full
Some in parts
But you are all that mine needs
Even though I don’t deserve you
Nothing in this world will do

Red Haired Darling
02:44
|

My red hair darling
Stay with me till the morning
My red haired darling
You’ve got one more year
Please keep me here
Let me dry your tears when it gets hard
My red hair sweetie
Please say that you need me
My red hair sweetie
You’ve got one more year
Please keep me here
Let me dry your tears when it gets hard

Doing Fine
03:59
|
|||
You told me that you were doing fine
But my doubts are increasing with time
Words you say I want to believe
Seems there’s always something up your sleeve
And I know I shouldn’t be naive
Yes I care but do not wish to know
Where you go
We all try so hard to give you love
But it never seems like it’s enough
I don’t really want to call your bluff
But I know I shouldn’t be naive
seems there’s always something up your sleeve
Yes I care but do not wish to know
Where you go
How many chances should one man give
Handing knives to slashers is no way to live
All these been given nothing’s been received
There’s no forgiveness
For what was robbed us
There can be no trust
How long can one forget all wrongs
When there’s new ones rising with each new dawn
At one point will the account be withdrawn
There’s no forgiveness
For what was robbed us
There can be no trust
You told me that you were doing fine
But my doubts are increasing with time
Words you say I want to believe
Seems there’s always something up your sleeve
And I know I shouldn’t be naive
Yes I care but do not wish to know
Where you go

Not to Regain
03:09
|
|||
I look up to
You let me down
Into the truth
That I’m now bound
To find that you’ve
Not changed for good
And still fall back
From where you stood
The reason I’m sober
You never got over
The reason I’m sober
‘Cause you never are
My hero falls
Not to regain
His stance and stature
Must reframe
To fit a new
And lessened view
From which he shall
Not try to move
The reason I’m sober
You never got over
The reason I’m sober
‘Cause you never are

A Song
03:03
|
|||
I want to write something beautiful
To show just what I meant
Something you moving and emotional
Make tears unrelent
But this is just a song
This is just a song
This is just a song
This is just a song
I want to build something ingenious
So radical and new
Like nothing ever heard before
Split some minds in two
But this is just a song
This is just a song
This is just a song
This is just a song
I tried to make something meaningful
To show you how I feel
Give you all you’ve gave to me
To say what I know well
But this is just a song
This is just a song
This is just a song
This is just a song

Don't Listen
02:34
|
|||
Thank you for not listening
To these words that I will sing
Because they don’t mean anything
Thank you for not giving us
You’re attention or your trust
Because we’re undeserving
I just want to make it clear
All these things that reach your ear
Are false and insincere
We cannot be liable
For the lies that we have told
Because they’re barely audible
I don’t claim to know to much
I’ve been told to never judge so I won’t do that to you that’s that
And I do not like to pry
But I would like to know but I don’t so please don’t ask me no more
We’re so gracious you’ve endured
Listened to most very word
Now we know that we’ve been heard
|

Lord,
Please help him find his peace
Before he tears us all to pieces
Please don’t let our mistrust of him To become our lone adhesive
Help me to keep my reasons from Becoming my poor excuses
Please forgive him for the wrong paths it seems that he blindly chooses
Give me guidance to detect the Places that harbor my Grudge
Please don’t let this judgement Pass from someone who’s not fit to judge
How can we look past the trials it
Seems they’re getting steeper
Forgive me for my shortcoming lord Was to be his keeper?
Amen.

Meet Me in Hannibal
04:10
|
|||
Meet me in Hannibal
Meet me halfway
From where we first began
And your strifes lay
There I will be with you
No stress will reach
Across the Mississippi
Waters so deep
Haven’t seen you for some time
All of these words can’t define
Know that someday you’ll be mine
Till then we’ll meet on state lines
When I head east and you head west
We’ll meet and it’s always the best
But I must head west and you east
And that’s what I like the least
Meet me in Hannibal
I’ll get a room
Help me to escape from
Where my doubts loom
There I will hold you in
A warm embrace
Know when your next to me
No fears I’ll face
Haven’t seen you for sometime
All of these words can’t define
Know that someday you’ll be mine
Till then we’ll meet on state lines
When I head east and you head west
We’ll meet and it’s always the best
But I must head west and you east
And that’s what I like the least
