[Verse 1]
Midnight stop on the street
Red light feet on the ground
And it feels right
Quiet besides the engine I
Escape into paradise
It goes green
And I'm back at top speed

Friends, I will keep you like trophies in my heart
to remember how loneliness was a faded dream on 219th Street.
We were more than just young, we were full of it,
and no one could touch us or take us in
Watching the sunset from the roof we'd plan our next adventure

I was 19 and young, thought i had it all figured out
The world was our oyster and we dove in to get the pearl out

I can't stop killing the songs you like
You look at me with eyes
That could beat the sunrise in a contest
No question
Well, talk to all the others
And bring me back to earth
I'm thankful for your mother for what it's worth

The faster I find the bottom
The sooner I turn it around
It seems as though I forgot
Just how far down
That I can go in an instant
And I can take you there
And I can take all my friends and family and I won't care

If you listen to the sound of the hope
In the children's voices asking questions
You'll know how blindness is a blessing
But I know your type, you're always right, your tongue controls your mind
But I guess life's the lesson

If they said 40 years I would die before
I let them take the love that I have paid for with my tears

I transcend time
with my words
I'll build a house for you and I
we will live there together
alone and surrealize
do we just exist?
and does love persist?
the questions of purpose

A showdown at dusk,
This old town is lost,
I'm flat on my back
And I can't see through the dust.

But you never told me that I was worthy,
You didn't let me live just to hurt me.

He can't sleep, he can't eat
He keeps thinking about her behind the locked door of her bedroom
As she knowingly tortures the shell that is left of her bridegroom
And what did he do to deserve
This whore of a wife who parades her disgrace to his face now
When he loved her and gave up his life in more ways than she knows how
And all I can say is that

I have a demon in me

It shows its teeth and escapes

When i am patient with speak

Is when i make my mistakes

Jenny left from Idaho and made her home in Capitol Hill
In a 300 square foot studio above a coffee shop near the Broadway Grill
And every night she walks the block to trade in her time for cheap thrills
And everyone she meets is cool, but just out of reach and it kills
She used to spend her nights by firelight and singing to the stars
Now she’s ours
Kevin left from Denver where the air is clear and people are nice
And he traded it for sea level, for misty rain, what a bitter compromise

What's it gonna take for me?
I'm on my hands and knees
While all the poets fill pages of loose leaf
I feel cheap and I feel empty
We will bathe in the sea of disbelief
But we will not go quickly
No we will not die so easily

Dead rose, you were once so vibrant
As you stretched out towards the sun
And spread your pedals wide
To take it all inside
Dead rose, tried to keep you alive
But you drank the water dry
And now you’re facing down
Your pedals scattered on the ground

I've got a bad
taste in me
It's like I've been robbed
of something I once was
in my childhood memories

and its buried in sandboxes
backyard where we used to see

Hey Hey Hey

Hey Hey Hey

Hey Hey Hey

Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey

I've been sitting in the suicide lane on
Highway 99
Looking for a sign in the headlights

I've been to war with my mind
But things will be different this time
I won't be putting up a fight

A summer drive away from dying: a broken heart nothing to lose.
I know it hurts so bad just trying to please the ones you hate to love.
And I wrote this note about someone I used to know
so I'd remember how life can be so short when your left alone to wonder
how it is someone opens and shuts the door.

I know your cold but come home.
It's a shame how short we all have come.

I know it cuts you inside every time that you try
To take a pathway in life that leaves you so un-obliged
Every promise is lies, every smile makes you cry
Leaves you so un-alive, so un-alive

I wish I could take the fall maybe by that I could solve
The problems we're all having
It's been a while since you've felt like you've been home

What great risk to truly live
We could die alone.
Our self-proclaimed meaning of bliss
Is getting what we're owed.
It's always getting what we're owed.

I am like a machine,
All that I really need is medicine

I have seen my own gravestone
and worshiped the golden statue
I’ve made my bed in the lion's den
and walked in dead man's shoes

I have witnessed coastline
from a bird's eye view
And I made the request that we plunge to our death

Give me wings, give me peace
These are the things that I need
I'm tormented, broken, and chained
Are you listening?
(Are you listening?)

Give me shelter from the storm,
I know it's a lot to ask for,

I had months to write a song
That captured who you are
But I fear I have done you wrong
Because I've failed you so far
The chord that struck, an angel fell
The sky went dark and it all comes down
The choices made, the lies forgotten
Oh, well

my real last thing
my life is dull
and dried up like the sound
a voice makes when the heart grows cold
and its going that way

I think i'll move out of state
somewhere far from Seattle city lights

Life goes on from the dusk to the dawn.
From old song to new song.
And you find yourself on the path you don't want to be on.
I sing songs I don't like to strangers every night.
They don't know me at all in this bar. Mm.

Sometimes I wish I never quit smoking, I had meaningful conversations back then.
So think a little stop drinking because of that.

She's got a solar powered life
She dies without direct sunlight
But every morning in the spring
She wakes up early
And this is what she sings

My oh my what a beautiful day outside
Hey hey what a beautiful day

A couple of years and I'm a silhouette
My halo is broken now and I'm all that's left
I hate to disappoint but it's the way things went
I was bound to the things I did
And after what was said
Tie up these loose ends
These voices are calling me out
I've got the solution

Be good to me as You once were
When You pulled me from the brink of death My enemies were frenzied for a taste of my flesh
And now I've got the same feeling again
The beasts are closing in their teeth
Are dripping with rattlesnake poison

So I will run into Your open arms
I've got nowhere else to go

Would you go to war for me, baby?
Would you cry for the weak
And die for the peace of men?
Oh how can we know?
You and I both don't
So lets make this boatload of excuses burn and sink

One day it all comes down to this

Twenty two years have passed by
As I contemplate
I can recall you getting me out of every scrape
What comes first to my mind
Was the change that I so desperately needed to make
Day and night, frozen silent in blinding violent fear
A song for my fight
Comes spilling the words I so desperately needed to hear

I am a happy nihilist
No absolute truth does exist
When I decide to shake my fist
I only got myself to blame
Cause we're all players
and life's the game

I only take what I need,

He gets his information from overhearing conversations
He doesn't ask questions,
Doesn't learns many lessons
And he keeps his mouth shut
til it boils over and he blows up
And then he can't form his words right,
they don't fit together so tight
And I hope to God that he will find his name,

It couldn't be more far from the truth
If you could do to me the things you would do
And I know you're on to me
I'm watching you wanting me
You hung down the rebels and punish them wrongfully
You came with fire and weapons to kill

A warrior poet once said

Lost sense of direction: nobody knows my name
Confidence: correction
I don't know how to play that game
A straight line is quicker
A straight line would make me fast
I've burned my nose enough to know that straight lines never last

Swallow your soul

When the time comes put my feet in the water
it's not as warm as I expect
will I go down like a preachers son?
will I come back up like a world war vet?
will I watch my brothers die?
speak true words into their lives?
will I hold them close and tell them why the life they led was sacrifice

I long to taste adventure like the nature of the sea,
Always moving, always hiding all the creatures from beneath.
Singing silent songs of sadness my heart waits for its chance,
To dance upon the ashes of my burned up little plans.And I

stand alone before the night.
My nakedness is so clear in the glow of the moonlight.
