am i all, i will ever be
can i call, will you come and see
no
don’t say so
as we fall, through the cracks of time
climb the wall, just to read the signs
no
don’t say so
Walk these streets, see it in their eyes
All the fear, they're laying down to die
No,
Don't say so

Do I have any real thoughts
i can share with you
Have I done anything here
all on my own
Do I have any real thoughts
coming to my head
or have they all
gone to bed?
Here I am at midnight
again, all alone
Looking out at the darkness
blanked out once again
Here I am at midnight
aging oh so quickly
what can i do
but go to bed?

Cell Phone Addiction
02:56
|
|||
|
blank stares at the screen
a thousand miles in between
no thoughts of things to do
no living left for you
take the pill and pull it out
play the game lose the doubts
lonely nights free of friction
feed your cell phone addiction
gotta cell phone
its always on
leaves me lonely
what could be wrong
make conversation
through a rough translation
no down time for me
or my productivity
reaching for a bad habit
back into the network bandit
so much less communication
feed your cell phone addiction

Though I walk
through the valley
in the shadow of death
I know
I have you
by my side dear God
Saturday
Come back and save me
I dreamed you will
How can I
be so calm
when the world is dying
i know
i have you
by my side dear God
Saturday
Come back and save me
I dreamed you will

Drop it, They Charged the wrong man
With a crime you understand
No harm ever was done
just a kid having fun
and this is how it ends
a lick from lightin’ hopkins
a life forever maimed
the soul of skip james
Free Kevin Kevin Free
Drop it, sitting all grown down
seeing the world go round
missing all the changes
with a locked up date range
like Muddy Waters said
aint no use in being dead
a life forever gained
the soul of skip james
Free Kevin
Kevin Free
Drop it, believe in the end
a promise to depend
it comes to bare
no matter how rare
as you kiss the sky
and remember why
understand and listen
to the story of a friend

What is it, that you want me,
what you want me to say?
What is it, that you want me,
what you want me to say?
Does anybody, know what I’m saying
about what i’m going through
I’ll never know, what I never mention
In polite company
Well I’m tired, and I’m lonely
and I don’t know what I can do
Well i’m tired, and i’m lonely
and I don’t know what i can do
Does anybody know what i’m saying here
about what i’m going through?
I’ll never know, I never mention this
In polite company
I've been down, and i’m dying
and i don’t know who i can trust
i’ve been down, feels like i’m dying
and I don’t know who I can trust
Does anybody, know what I'm saying
about what i’ve been going through
i’ll never know, i’ll never mention this
in polity company

White Flags

my mind
ego's been tattered
unkind
eggshells are battered
i've been dreaming about the fun that we had
and thinking of the times that were bad
a season in the sun
we're two and then we're one
my third life has just begun
time to get back, to where i come from
sand bags
all out of time
white flags
marking my crime
i been dreaming about the times that we had
i been thinking that it wasn't so bad
a season in the sun
we're two and then we're one
my third life has just begun
time to get back to where i come from
where i come from
where i come from
you were my queen
out on the scene
where did you go
you disappeared slowly
quite out of sight
you disappeared slowly
into the night
