- 10 West
Well I'm back out on the road again lost among the city lights
Were stepping it up harder just to make it to the show tonight
With yesterday's antics still playing in my head
Another day's upon us so let's do it all again
It's just another town another days another year
We got to wait 'til five o'clock before we crack a beer
Somewhere it's got to be 5 o'clock, yeh thays what we say
- Backyard
Down Hearted man where do you come from
You're troubled by the world and your situation
How can you justify what's so clear in your eyes
The operator is gone
Through all your contemplation you still don't understand
That the plight of your life was built by your own hands
You navigate the maze in your medicated haze
- Betty
You did me over
Played me to the end
You took everything
I had no feelings left to spend
You're not a friend
You're just a fiend
It's time I opened my eyes
To set you my darling
- Brand New Scar
Woke up this morning on the wrong side of town
to someone I'd never seen, and a room I guess we found
the last few days playing back in my head
I know the price I'm gonna pay for all the things that I said
two hearts beating,
but our love is fleeting
yeah it's done yeah we had fun
- Coyote
Born on the wrong side of opportunity
Bled from my hands and my heart for the country
But I've lost all hope and I can't stay
Because in my dreams I swear she says my name
She's calling out her voice rings so proud
She's calling out entranced by the sound
I take one last walk down to the shore
- Cup O' Tea
I like my lego's and my lincoln logs my action figures and my comic =
Books I build a fort and then go and read them in the summer time today =
I think I'll make a cool character she'll wear a big coat with electric =
Fur she'll have the power she'll make you cower when I roll the dice =
Don't seem like long ago I hung out with g.i. joe and won my little wars =
In my back yard now all that name means to me is a sober cup of reality =
That wakes me up and drags me through another day scratchin' a name in a =
Heart in a tree then telling my friends that she's with me I got your =
- Day by Day
My situation brings me down again
Boredom wraps it's long arms around me
My inhibitions were thrown out the door so long ago
Now I sit here and I can't breathe
I feel I'm going nowhere fast
I ask myself how long this is gonna last
- Days Away
That's me staring out my window
Different man than I was before
I was scared with no hesitation
Kept me running for the door
When I spoke
Well my words fell away yeah
Into something that I can't deny
- Depleted Salvo
How can you justify your pain
When everyone has felt the same
How can you walk around so dead
With good days gone and more ahead
With one look you take the idle minds that
Lay before you and give something
They can touch and they can feel
- Dixtress
heard my favorite song on the radio
i get so tired that i just don't know
is my whole life comin' down on me
or is my problem anxiety
she said
spent the last few days, wide awake,
and i don't know how much more i can take,
- Drinking For 11
Drinking for a living,
that's just what I do,
When I'm not with you,
My heart goes to bed.
End of the bar,
That's just where I'll be,
Don't try and come find me
Cause I'm already dead
- Falling Down
I come around, but I don't see it,
It's kinda hard when you're already gone.
My eyes are numb; bloodshot and heavy,
The voice's silent but approaching me soon.
He's got your name, he's got your number.
Just one more slip and he'll be dragging you on.
I feel the pain, oh i see the answers.
- Goleta
goleta goleta not the place i wanna be
goleta goleta split twins both have hiv
goleta goleta not the place i wanna be
everybody's gotta come see
pick it up!
put it down!
- Good Intentions
Rolling away with my good intentions
Trying to go with my mind
Said i'm walking the line
Flying away with my same desire, yeah
Oh, I'm trying to get to the heart of what's bringing me down
Moving alone I feed the fire
And with the temptation all around just laughing at me
- Just One More
The fine life is a beautifil thing
The caviar and the diamond ring
It goes all night, I see the writing on the wall
The bright lights of a big soiree
The satin glows and the tango sways
It goes all night, I see the writing on the wall
- Lay Your Head Down
There’s a devil outside of your window and it’s waiting for a piece of you
And you’re just so beaten down these days there’s nothing that you can do
Well as soon as the sun will shine again while the night just begs for more
Your purgatory waits for you when you walk outside that door
While the dead pasts by on the sidewalk as hollow as they come
And I cannot see a sign of light when cornered where they’re from
When they seem so unaffected by these streets that flow with pain
There’s no love on our way and I know I feel the same
- Leavin
Well, the first time that I went out on my own
I was a young man almost seventeen
Right down to the day
Well, I packed up all my things
I grabbed my bag and kissed my mother
And I told her that I'd be back some day
So I jumped into the back of an 18-wheeler
- Let It Go
It's not easy being loved by someone else
And at the same time giving it all up yourself
Caught between the colored lines
Native to the home of the domesticated energy
And now the summer days have faded into years
All the good times shining light in all the tears
Caught up in the reality of life and growing up
So baby we should let it go
- Mary Melody
ve got this thing about you now
i tried to understand
so baby let me show you how
you changed my life the day you showed up at my door
ive got this notion in my head
if i go forward then i jump back again into my routine of misery
i try harder just to get along today
cant see things through
- Medium Unwell
In a world where logic
And proportion dies
The dark side laughing
As it lights the night
With its evil eyes
It comes around when
You are least expecting
It to strike
- Monkeys
Monkeys
watch out for them monkeys
those crazy big guys drinking in the bar downtown
Monkeys
watch out for them monkeys
They'll knock you right off your feet onto the ground
They'll take pleasure being hormonally insane
They'll find solace knocking you right upside the brain
- Preppie Girl
I know this girl monica she's from santa monica or somewhere from down =
There she moved up here recently and is very friendly I feel special =
When she's near you poor monica, I feel bad when you're sad and you =
Think that nothing's working out my dear monica, I'm really glad, when =
You seem to be happy and a smiles on your face you think you've seen a =
Smile you haven't seen this girl's there's nothing like it in the world =
She seems to be down a lot it brings me down a lot but quickly passes =
With a smile if you ever get the chance you should spend some time with =
- Pyramid Scheme
Walking through the badlands taking in the scenery
The beasts are salivating to the fresh scent of the week
They're moving in with a penetrating grin
Sliding through your backdoor
while your babies are asleep
We're walking blind with wool over our eyes
Now if we don't think about it will it go away
- Reflections
I'm lost again out on the highway
Searching for answers that I fear
And it couldn't be much clearer
When objects in the mirror are closer than they appear
My mind is definitely twisted can't let go of the past
And there's no one left to blame when the lights all look the same
And reflections disappear so fast
- Riding For A Fall
Someday someone will make you cry yeah, yeah
Then you’ll gonna have tear drops in your eyes no, no
So go ahead and have your fun girl
Don’t you know I'm still in love with you girl
Go ahead and have yourself a ball
You’re riding for a fall (watch it)
Someday somebody will break your heart
(You got to look for your judgment as I would tell ya)
- Road Rash
it's a nice day for a drive
automotivation
the air is getting clear and
the time is getting near
for us to roll
gotta watch my style
cause god it's almost over
got a little more room
- Shaving Your Life
Early come one winters morning
I packed my bags and said goodbye
I knew my mind was made up
And then she cried and asked me why
I had run
I heard the world calling my name
Had to find a better place
Had to take a chance and get away
- Silence
Silently approaching creeping through the night
Shadows below the radar hide from unsuspecting light
You can't see it coming but you feel it near
The eminent destruction pulls you down in the fear
Now the fight has just begun
The battle is not over
You're scared it's been won
- State Of Mind
I feel the heat, the fire that burns
Deep in my soul, as this hell-ride returns
No one around to hear me cry out
Open my mouth, but I can't make a sound
I feel the weight of the world sometimes
Hanging on my head, whoa
Look for the light at the end of this tunnel once again
- The Dirge
Well I've been standing here for oh so long
I get so tired of these same old songs of change
Who's changing
My time's been paid sure as hell ain't free
But inspiration is sold separately through these beer
soaked tears
- The Gentleman
what do you think of me
do you really want to see a piece of me that I hide
something that's hard to find
what's behind your smile
is it really worth my while
what's beneath your ton-bed skin open up and let me in
do you really want to feel something that is so unreal
- Tired Bones
I see your face, your crimson eyes
Your sultry sin that devilish grin reflected in your guise
And with a hesitant hand I will taste it if I can
Not knowing what it takes to be a man
So play on just play on
I've seen it all before so count me in
I hope this night justifies to let go of all I hide
Release my inhibitions in your sin
- Today
Woke up this morning at the end of another bottle I don’t know what’s really going on
My hands are shaking my heads reminding me that last night I must of have had some fun
I've been here so many times you get used to the pain
But I don’t want to play these self destructive games, once again I will say
Today will be the day
Today I'm gonna change
- Waiting for the Real Thing
Let's get to the heart of the matter now
of what's goin' on
One minute you tell me you love me
the next I wake up and you're gone
I'm getting your signals all crossed up
and I can't tune in
I thought that, babe, you were my lover
but now you're not even my friend
- Weird Beard
The night was dark
The seas were rough
The port lay straight ahead
The booze ran out
The men grew tired
And this is what they said:
"Captain if you cannot find a place to set her down
then you'll be sleeping right along with this vessel in the ground"
- Wet Dog
Look in your eyes, wanna be inside
Feel like a dog that's been left out in the rain where it's cold
Gotta find my way back, I feel you burning and I want to go home
Where it's warm inside.
I need you touch you're like a siren
Temptation pulls me closer I can't resist
So let me in now, cause I've been waiting
- Whatcha Gonna Do
Layin' awake again and I don't know what's happening
I'm setting sail on unknown seas
and I'm haunted by insecurities, oh no
I'm standing on the edge of dream
- Without You
I feel like I'm running in place
Sometimes I just need a little room to breathe
And I can't run for cover or seek from
another every little thing I need
I said you're there for the good times for the bad times
And for the mid tempo days
But there is nothing that I've been through yet
