The Road

Started down the road less traveled
Lost myself along the way
Met a man that had the answers
But I let him slip away
Hunkered down in my depression
Never seem to see a way
Lonely tears are lit by headlights
Cares are drowned another day
Changing faces every night
It’s all up to me
Days burning off the night
While loves lost at sea
and lost on me
The bitter taste of time forgotten
A memory of better days
The tortured skin that I have fought it
Begs only for a place to lay
Changing faces every night
It’s all up to me
Days burning off the night
While loves lost at sea
and lost on me
Started down the road less traveled
Found myself along the way
Met a man that had the answers
So I thought I’d let him stay

You And I

You and I, the space was distorted, ignore it.
As time goes by, remember the reckless, who brought us.
Each time I try, the waves are upon us, relentless.
Another lie, broken defenses, it’s progress.
Each time I dream, the colors run and I’m left with empty pages
Float down the stream, around the sun, and I’m left with empty pages.
You and I, the faces that haunt us, upon us.
Oversized, bigger than God is, forgot us.
Stay in the lines, not born with the knowledge, just taught it.
Another life, time won’t work against us, I promise.
Each time I dream, the colors run and I’m left with empty pages
Float down the stream, around the sun, and I’m left with empty pages of you.
Another gleam of races run, leaves nothing but empty pages
Float down the stream, around the sun, and I’m left with empty pages of you.
You and I, the space was distorted, ignore it.
Another life, time won’t work against us, I promise.

Swamp Thing
02:37

You know it’s time for the long line
You’re weighing heavy on the sun
You punch a ticket to the big time
By never knowing what you’d done
On and on the fall has come
This look is not a good one
A grown man shouldn’t cry
On and on the fall has come
Never stop to wonder why
I’m never gonna fly
Your face was gonna stand out
Your name was never gone
Time to take this to the flip side
And turn your cheek on what is won
On and on the fall has come
The tune it rings familiar
A haunted lullaby
On and on the fall has come
Never stop to wonder why
I’m never gonna fly
I’m never gonna fly
I’m never gonna fly
I’m never gonna fly
I’m never gonna fly

Faced
02:56

The winds of fate can forget our time and blow onward towards regret
How many ways can you say a lie before our world is a mess
Not that I mind if you come around once in a while, to help me sleep, to make ends meet
It’s just I always thought you were one of a kind, and it’s time my eyes were opened.
I faced the pain like I couldn’t die and fell downward, in distress
The many faces of your alibis were my comfort, I confess
Not that I mind if you come around once in a while, to help me sleep, to make ends meet
It’s just I always thought you were one of a kind, and it’s time my eyes were opened.
Not that I mind if you come around once in a while, to help me sleep, to make ends meet
It’s just I always thought you were one of a kind
One of a kind
One of a kind
One of a kind
One of a kind
And my eyes will never open

Burn Up
05:08

In the morning on the floor on bended knee, I’m smothered by the daylight
Broken over by the truth too plain to see, just another in a long line
Time to fake it as the night comes back to me, I’m uncovered by your insight
I never listen to the voices whispering, to come over to the dark side
You turned me over at the borderline, wheels up from the smile you’re hiding
A broken promise of a different kind, lost smoke from the fire you’re riding
With the turn of door I’ll have to surrender
After the fall I’ll never remember
With the flashes of the real controlling me, resolution in the moonlight
Overflowing with a wave of treachery, evolution of a deadline
You turned me over at the borderline, wheels up from the smile you’re hiding
A broken promise of a different kind, lost smoke from the fire you’re riding
With the turn of door I’ll have to surrender
After the fall I’ll never remember
Never is a long time
Never is a long time
Never is a long time
