If you have a bridge you need to burn
Baby, I will light the fire
If you need to crawl 100 miles
I’ll be crawling beside yah
Sure we’ll toast and laugh and sing and fight and hang around and chill
Rough times need me right by your side, then stay you know I will
If the most that you can do, is not the best that can be done
I and maybe others can, can help you put away that gun
If you need a friend at 3 AM
You’ve got my number dialed
If you need someone to stick around
When you’re slowly breaking down
When you cant handle life no more I will surely help you fight
If you can’t see the tunnel’s end, we’ll drive till it gets bright
If the most that you can do, is not the best that can be done
I and maybe others can, can help you put away that gun
Your gun may not be alcohol,
Your job, your drug, your girl
I will walk or drag you quickly back,
Right to the holy world
If you need a slap upside the head I will let you choose the side
If you’re falling through some soft concrete I won’t let you fall behind
If the most that you can do, is not the best that can be done
I and maybe others can, can help you put away that gun
If you need a friend at 3 AM
You’ve got my number dialed
If you need someone to stick around
When you’re slowly breaking down
When you cant handle life no more I will surely help you fight
If you can’t see the tunnel’s end we’ll drive till it gets bright
If the most that you can do, is not the best that can be done
I and maybe others can, can help you put away that gun

Rose Colored Glasses

In good time with care, I’ll get you there where
The rosy world meets the world so unfair
I’ll love you Rose, long after this song
My lovely Rose, this is your song
I gave you my name, I’ll sing you this song, I’ll give you
Rose colored glasses and flowers for Algernon

Capstone Thought
03:45
|

Have a capstone thought on your deathbed
Apologize for the dumb things that you said
Learn to shoot a bow and arrow
Maybe climb mount Kilimanjaro
There’ll be lots that you wont get to
There’ll be lots left undone
As for now its up to you
Take a normal day and make it fun
If you’re up on Kilimanjaro
Disregard the foolish remedies
Breathe the air deep into your lungs
Hum loud go ahead and sing with ease
There’ll be lots that you wont get to
There’ll be lots left undone
As for now its up to you
Take a normal day and make it fun
So skip along the straight and narrow
For tomorrow will be brand new
You’re gunna find yourself along the way
And you’ll find what you gotta do
There’ll be lots that you wont get to
There’ll be lots left undone
As for now its up to you
Take a normal day and make it fun
Don’t have a capstone thought on your deathbed
Apologize for the dumb things that you said
Learn to shoot a bow and arrow
And Maybe climb mount Kilimanjaro
There’ll be lots that you wont get to
There’ll be lots left undone
As for now its up to you
Take a normal day and make it fun

Angry Red
03:24
|

We’re motivated by angry red
He said, she said, they said
Everybody saw that coming he’s dead
Stop blaming everyone else but me
my fault now I see
I can move about now more openly
I, looking through the eyes of my friends
My eyes dead end
Cant see beyond where my own road bends
Gone, gonna make my way out of here
Gotta stifle all my fear
Gonna hit the gas and leave in full gear
We’re motivated by angry red
He said, she said, they said
Everybody saw that coming he’s dead
Stop blaming everyone else but me
my fault now I see
I can move about now more openly
I, looking through the eyes of my friends
My eyes dead end
Cant see beyond where my own road bends
Gone, gonna make my way out of here
Gotta stifle all my fear
Gonna hit the gas and leave in full gear
We’re motivated by angry red
He said, she said, they said
Everybody saw that coming he’s dead
Stop blaming everyone else but me
My fault now I see
I can move about now more openly
I, looking through the eyes of my friends
My eyes dead end
Cant see beyond where my own road bends
Gone, gonna make my way out of here
Gotta stifle all my fear
Gonna hit the gas and leave in full gear
Change, peel away from the same old same
I blame, you blame, they blame
I’ll take blame if it helps end this game
We’re motivated by angry red
He said, she said, they said
Everybody saw that coming he’s dead
Everybody saw that coming he’s dead
Everybody saw that coming he’s dead

Back On Track
04:12
|
|||
|
Find yourself off track,
consider, taking one or two steps back
to get a look at your best path
to take to get yourself back on track
Pin in your skin, shot in the dark
Bottle of booze, missing your mark
A daily binge drinker that you are
A lazy fringe thinker that you are
It’s not what you might guess about me
Before I met you there was a mess about me
Don’t like what that says about me
Says more about you than it says about me
Shot in your skin, pin in the dark,
Bottle of miss, boozing your mark
A daily binge thinker that you are
A lazy fringe drinker that you are
It’s not what you might guess about me
Before I met you there was a mess about me
Don’t like what that says about me
Says more about you than it says about me
It’s not what you might guess about me
Before I met you there was a mess about me
Don’t like what that says about me
Says more about you than it says about me
Find yourself off track,
consider, taking one or two steps back
to get a look at your best path
to take to get yourself back on track

Stir the Pot
04:49
|

|
In my mind I stir the pot
I hope this time I learn to stop
Next time someone comes along
Or something else that does me wrong
Unto them as I would do the same
Expect it back, and well, then I'm to blame
But I can’t go on pretending this way,
Like training two fish on a bicycle
In my mind I stir the pot
and I hope this time I learn to stop
Next time someone comes along
Or something else that does me wrong
I hope I would really just not care
Not a cross that I would have to bear
Cuz I can’t go on pretending this way,
Like training two fish on a bicycle
In my mind I stir the pot
and I hope this time I learn to stop
Show the way to make it go away
Can’t you see I don’t have time to play
Cuz I can’t go on, pretending this way,
Like training two fish on a bicycle

Bad Guy
03:58
|
|||
|
Every time we fight, you’re not always right,
Can’t take the shame, need to share the blame
This just can’t work
I don’t want to be the bad guy
I can’t always be your bad guy
I don’t want to be the bad guy
So tired of playing the bad guy
As time comes to pass, can’t make this last,
Something’s gotta change, been feelin’ so strange
Stuck in this role
I don’t want to be the bad guy
I can’t always be your bad guy
I don’t want to be the bad guy
So tired of playing the bad guy
So does it cross your mind to leave me behind,
Or to give me up, or just be upfront
But will this change?
I don’t want to be the bad guy
I can’t always be your bad guy
I don’t want to be the bad guy
So tired of playing the bad guy
I don’t want to be the bad guy
I can’t always be your bad guy
I don’t want to be the bad guy
So tired of playing the bad guy

The Same Old Past
03:14
|
|||
|
All of the time, so long ago
All of the thoughts, I can’t let them go
The same old past
That same old end
The same old costs
The time just wont bend
Seems the past called after all, and there’s no update there
Your cards are laid, your cards are played and now your hand is done
Past dragging, future lagging, waiting there for fun
It’s now your move, stand still or groove, stuck with the choice of one
All of my wants, can’t let them grow
All of my dreams, can’t let them show
The same old past
That same old end
The same old costs
The time just wont mend
Seems the past called after all, and there’s no update there
Your cards are laid, your cards are played and now your hand is done
Past dragging, future lagging, waiting there for fun
It’s now your move, stand still or groove, stuck with the choice of one

I don’t think I belong here
I don’t think I belong here
I don’t think I belong here
As she limps away from the wishing well
Tosses a coin in the depths to dwell
Eyes forward not sure where her money fell
She thinks I don’t belong here
Off in the rooms of a distant castle
Its now more a hindrance and a hassle
Tending to all that’s now and all that’s near
She thinks I don’t belong here
She’ll try going back to the city places
Maybe with some luck meet the friendly faces
Finding the wrong feel and the wrong paces
She thinks I don’t belong here
I don’t think I belong here
I don’t think I belong here
We’re always searching
yeah, we’re always finding
a place we don’t belong,
a place we don’t belong
We’re always searching
yeah, we’re always finding
a place we don’t belong,
a place we don’t belong
We’re always searching
yeah, we’re always finding
a place we don’t belong,
a place we don’t belong
You just think you don’t belong
I don’t think I belong here
I don’t think I belong here
He sits at the keys and feels a swell
The last verse he knows will be short as hell
Call it quits he thinks that he might as well
He thinks I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
I don’t think I belong here
I don’t think I belong here

I know you want to cover much more ground
The ground isn’t covered all that well now
You better slow down
You’re gunna go down
You’re not sure about how big a sound
Muted mouth ideas ideas end up so lost and found
Gotta make a choice
Gotta raise your voice
People get nasty spewing their hate
Staying up hours much too late
You gotta ignore
You gotta be sure
We all know life gets crazy sometimes
Whirlwind speed makes your head fly
You gotta shut up
You better look up
I know you want to cover much more ground
The ground isn’t covered all that well now
You better slow down
You’re gunna go down

Heart Strings
04:26
|

|
With no sense of direction I’m forever losing my way
Please tie a string from your heart to mine
Even in the darkness I’ll feel the tug of your heart
And find my way
With no sense of direction I’m forever losing my way
So please tie a string from your heart to mine
Following the heart string I know that I’ll be fine
And find my way
