Forward 02:18
I’ve lost count of the times that I’ve gone and returned But I beg for your love, once more It’s a delicate thing, in a cruel cruel world And I hope I’ve improved from before You who’s been travelling so long Lay down your weary head You who’s been running for miles Stand down, or sit down, or lay down There’s dreams and ambition, and tough choices made And I cherish what I left behind And on this two-way street, we will meet once again We will pay our dues in kind You who’s been travelling so long Lay down your weary head You who’s been running for miles Stand down, or sit down, or lay down Lay your burdens down

When You Go 03:50
You never gave a second chance I was never worthy of second glance You turned away and just ignored Had me asking, begging for more When you go and leave I’ll try to repair When you go I’ll stay and I’ll say that it’s fair And as your footsteps fade From these torn remains I will convince myself you really cared Tried to live up to your hopes and dreams But I failed miserably it seemed You kept looking around for an escape Left so quickly no you couldn’t wait When you go and leave I’ll try to repair When you go I’ll stay and I’ll say it’s fair And as your footsteps fade From these torn remains I will convince myself you really cared When you go and leave I’ll try to repair When you go I’ll stay and I’ll say it’s fair When you go and leave I’ll try to repair When you go I’ll stay and I’ll say it’s fair When you go and leave I’ll try to repair When you go I’ll stay and I’ll say it’s fair

Unparalleled 03:18
You don’t worry no need to fret We’re only getting started and we ain’t done yet I’ll be here in the morning for the rest of our days I promise I ain’t leaving I intend to stay So if you feel abandonded when you feel depressed Lay your head on my shoulders lay your head to rest I’ll fight the demons for you wave after wave I am yours and you are mine forever and always Each night before we fall asleep I watch you lay right next to me And then I feel you close and my hand is held There’s peace of mind unparalleled There will be valleys and canyons where no light can reach But we’ll make a fire and all we need is just you and me Little by little we’ll be climbing out I promise you will never have to do without So if you feel abandonded when you feel depressed Lay your head on my shoulders lay your head to rest I’ll fight the demons for you wave after wave I am yours and you are mine forever and always Each night before we fall asleep I watch you lay right next to me And then I feel you close and my hand is held There’s peace of mind unparalleled Each night before we fall asleep. I watch you lay right next to me. And then I feel you close and my hand is held There’s peace of mind unparalleled There’s peace of mind unparalleled There’s peace of mind unparalleled

Y’see I don’t have a driver’s license So I’m always hopping trains And it takes me through beautiful countrysides And all vistas they may bring The herons and waterfowls In the ditches and the lakes A yellow sun, so bright and round And the clouds and all their shapes But every so often My musing gets disturbed I see big grey boxes It’s just big grey boxes And I wonder who would work there And how much do they get paid To suffocate in that stifling air For all those hours every day And do they not need windows Or an outlook and a view It’s got to be ugly within those Factories of revenue And every so often And their numbers have grown I see big grey boxes It’s just big grey boxes I see big grey boxes It’s just big grey boxes I see big grey boxes It’s just big grey boxes

There’s an issue that’s deep within you And try to fight it is all that you do Always in full swing Never resting Out of breath and out of luck Feel like moving but feel that you’re stuck Always somewhere to be Always people to meet The heart at rest sees a feast in everything But the emptiness inside Makes you feel that you’re starving In your chest is a sense of longing Always the maid not the bride Makes you feel undeserving The answers always lie just ‘round the bend But it doesn’t seem like you fully understand They’re not on the outside They’re on the inside So take your gaze and look to within Become your own best friend Take these strains of your mind Leave these shackles behind The heart at rest sees a feast in everything But the emptiness inside Makes you feel that you’re starving In your chest is a sense of longing Always the maid not the bride Makes you feel undeserving But that’s just not the truth So please stop this abuse No it’s just not the truth. So please stop this abuse. But that’s just not the truth. So please stop this abuse. And shine.

Cordyceps 03:35
Oh my darling wont you stay You seem so restless and itchy today Oh my love, I’ll massage your antlers There’s an absence in your eyes I’ve perceived And you seem so distant when answering me Oh my love, our queen won’t be happy Butthere you go, off on your journey towards the sun I don’t know what’s gotten into you But I fear it’s far from done And forgive me all my rambling, I’m droning on again Ooh my darling won’t you eat You seem so restless and incomplete Oooh my love, what will the colony think Your movements ’ve become rigid and solid and stiff It’s almost like you’re possessed it’s almost as if But there you go, off on your journey towards the sun I don’t know what’s gotten into you But I fear it’s far from done And forgive me all my rambling, I’m droning on again So I’ll pick you up Lift you away from home Look for the highest cliff And cast you off on your own I’ve loved you all my weeks I’ve loved you all my life But I’m very sorry baby This is goodbye

Oh my lovely we sure are in the thick of it Dug ourselves in way too deep Half of me is half of you and likewise mirrored Hurled awake from sheltered sleep And now there’s cracks and holes and crevices All it needs is a slight nudge The shine is gone and now it’s showing all our blemishes We’ve been dozing off too much In our amatory dormitory When questions rise they’ll be subdued with something lovable A pillow fortress of denial These silent sheets have gotten way and way too comfortable And it’s been this way now for a while In our amatory dormitory Where we don’t listen and we certainly don’t see What is really going on This cozy blanket has withdrawn And now all our passion’s gone We always felt we were so strong But secretly it turned out wrong In our bed of Babylon In our amatory dormitory Oh my lovely we sure are in the thick of it Dug ourselves in way too deep

Boomerang 03:54
I’m doing allright I guess I’m doing just fine But there’s this constant that’s bothering me Cause you haven’t said a word, but still I fill in all the blanks And they always end up being so mean So you scold and you blame but it’s all in my mind I’m fighting with a ghostly you I don’t know why it happens, but it always does It’s something just comes out of the blue I defend myself when there is no need to Nothing to excuse or explain I’ve tried to shut it down, tried running it’s course But the arguing will always remain Sometimes I shake it off But it’s like a boomerang The harder I try and throw The harder the bang This ain’t the real you And this ain’t the real me Here I go, doing it again Arguing with the voices in my head Sometimes I shake it off But it’s like a boomerang The harder I try and throw The harder the bang Like a boomerang Like a boomerang Like a boomerang
9.
Come and gather ‘round my children Come and listen to my words I’ll promise fame and fortune Yes I will promise you the world So if you’re searching for a meaning Searching hard in this hard-knock life I will open up my doors for you Please do step inside So If you’re weak or if you’re crippled I will heal all of your wounds Have faith in my abilities Your revival will start soon Well me I’m just a vessel Yes I only live to serve And yes I make some money But money is not my concern I’m the pastor and the preacher The minister and the priest The instructor and your sensei Don’t do as I do, do as I teach Don’t you listen to the doctors Don’t listen to their lies Over here we are like family Look into my honest blue eyes Yes I live a life of luxury I live a life that’s blessed A big ‘ole house and seven cars But trust me it’s for the best So while you’re trying to pay the rent this month Trying to make ends meet Come and see me every Sunday But make sure to bring the money I need Don’t you ask confusing questions Don’t expect apologies I need those cars and that big ‘ole hous So I can keep on setting you free I’m the swindler and the criminal The cheater and a thief A charlatan and your saviour Don’t do as I do, do as I teac So make sure to take that medicine Make sure to take them pills Let my healing hands keep touching you And absolve you from this heavenly guilt So cover your ears, cover your mouth And cover your eyes too But make sure to make a donation So I can keep on saving you So listen to my lectures Come and hear me preach Attend all of my services But don’t do as I do, do as I teach

Lifeboat 03:56
So here we are At what seems to be the end And although I see a line I’m not sure of what it says We’ve been here a few times before Our roots are wasting We don’t know where to look And although I see a mirro I’m not sure if it’s any good I’m afraid we might be stranded on an endless sea No soil no foundation, only company Oh my beloved Oh my admired We’re trapped like leaves caught by the wind Treading water But nobody’s bailing out Our feet have been cold for some time some time some time some time Our lifeboat is leaking and we’re afraid to drown Nowhere to fall but down Oh my beloved Oh my admired We’re trapped like leaves caught by the wind So here we are, at what seems to be the end

Kick 03:54
Save yourself from falling ‘Cause I can’t anymore I ain’t giving up on you Feels like a forever war And you’re raising a storm And you’re stomping up hell But even deeper down you know That you have to get well Don’t kick the bucket Kick the habit instead ‘Cause you deserve To be, fully alive There’s nothing I can say Not much I can do And by know you know what’s coming This will be all up to you
12.
On your own again An involuntary rolling stone You’re walking home again After hearing the words “we need to talk” for the umpteenth time And “It’s not you, it’s me” I just need a while to figure things out” But it’s plain to see He doesn’t know what he’s talking about But there’s a love, waiting somewhere for you So please don’t let it bring you down Dust yourself off, polish your crown It’s either moving too fast Or going absolutely nowhere But this time’s the last Is what you keep saying over and over again But there’s a love, waiting somewhere for you So please don’t let it bring you down Dust yourself off, polish your crown You’re a queen, don’t back down You’re a queen, don’t back down
