Focus

Focused on just one thing
It can get you a start
But it can shut down your heart 

Focused on just one way
It can get you a lot
But it will take all you’ve got

Aren’t you missing it all?
While you hide away
Aren’t you seeing the cost?
I see I see
But it’s all that I can be

Focused on just one stay
It lives in your mind
Keeps you company from time to time

Focused on just one way
It can get you a lot
But it will take all you’ve got

And in the middle of the night
When you’re sweating and your frightened again
We’ll thats just life life life
Catching up and asking

But aren’t you missing the aren’t you missing the soul
The whole of everything
Aren’t you missing now isn’t it taking a toll          
On your well being
Isn’t it taking a isn’t it taking a hold
So you can’t feel what your feeling

A Good Life

If I’m honest with myself oh no no not that
If I take another look the mirror will crack
I’m hopeless hoping that my calling will call me back

Home
Come in from the cold

Warm yourself by the fire of desire for a good life
Warm yourself by the fire of desire for good times
Warm yourself by the fire of desire for a good good life 

If I hit the clown running well I wasn’t exact
I need a good laugh before I get the facts
I’m hopelessly hoping to end them in their tracks

Come in from the cold
Make myself at home

Warm myself by the fire of desire for a good life
Warm myself by the fire of desire for good times
Warm myself by the fire of desire for a good good life 

Warm yourself by the fire of desire for a good life
Warm yourself by the fire of desire for good times
Warm yourself by the fire of desire for a good good life 

A good good life

 

In my corner

I couldn’t write
I couldn’t write
I had to go outside for a while  

I could not find the right fit for my feelings
Fit for my feelings, without you I am reeling 

I couldn’t fight
I couldn’t fight
I had to rest my bones for a while

In my mind
You were always
There cheering in my corner cheering in my corner making me feel stronger making me feel better telling me I’m loved

Telling me I’m loved 

I could’t write
I couldn’t fight
I had to leave myself for a while 

I couldn’t find the right fit for my feelings
Without you I’m reeling
And in my mind you were always 

Always cheering in my corner cheering in my corner making me feel stronger making me feel better making me feel loved

Telling me I’m loved 

Ghosts

I walked with ghosts
And they led me to the cold
They put on a show
But I’m not ready to go

I talked with ghosts
And they said I’m getting old
They say I’m going to fold
But what do they know

I know that I’m sitting here all alone
Working on a plan that will save us both 

Wait for me don’t you see just believe
And I’ll be there for you
Wait for me don’t you see don’tleave
And I will come through

I fought with ghosts
Cause they tell me there’s no hope
But they just can’t cope
I mean where do they go?

I know that I’m sitting here all alone
Working on a plan that will save us both
Wait for me don’t you see just believe
And I’ll be there for you
Wait for me don’t you see don’t leave
And I will come through

Gravity

Come on out from under the world
Come on out from under your search
Come on out from under your work
Come on out from under the hurt 

Come out to the old site where we used to meet
Come out and cling to me
Cling to me 

The weight of the world 

You don’t know, you don’t know
Just like you thought you knew back then
(How things would turn out in the end)
You really don’t know
So come on out let’s go 

Come out from under the dirt
Come out from under your looks
Come on out from under your words
Come on out from under those books 

Come out to the old site where we used to meet
Come out and sing with me
Sing with me

The weight of the world 

You don’t know, you don’t know
Just like you thought you knew back then
(How things would turn out in the end)
You really don’t know
So come on out let’s go

Let Go

Fresh faced and always at your door
I’m always asking more
And in the end I got nothing
But my own war

I do not mind
The changes that are coming
They will define
The way I’ve lived my life

The way I live my life
I need to let go
Of control
I need to let of of everything i’ve known
I need to let go
Oh of it all

Shoes laced and ready to explore
I’m always asking more
And in the end you got nothing
But a sore sport

I do not mind
The changes that are coming
They will refine
The way I live my life

 

Orlando 

Orlando what very strange place to grow
What a very strange place to grow up next to
We went dancing 

Moving right out of our minds
This is how we would survive
This is how we would collide 

We were growing in
To our bones and skin
And we were dancing

We were growing in
To our bones and skin
And we were romancing

How’d you let this one get by you?
How’ you let this one get through?
How’d you let this one get by you? 

You had one thing to do. 
How’d you let this one get by you… 

Orlando this is where we’d choose to go
Passing flaming cars seating shooting stars
And we were dancing
We were growing in to our bones and skin
And we were romancing 

How’d you let this one get by you?
How’ you let this one get through?
How’d you let this one get by you? 
You had one thing to do. 
How’d you let this one get by you…

Who me?

I deserve to walk that walk,
Who me?

I deserve to talk that talk,
Who me?

Who me?
I deserve to punch that clock
oooooo oooo weeeeeeeee

I deserve to have loved and lost
Who me 

I’m prepared to pay the cost
And I’m prepared to do what I must  
And I deserve to be here
And I deserve to be here 

Who me?????

 

True Story

By and large
You’re in charge
And expected to go forward
But you lost your army

Here we are
With our scars
And they tell the true story
Of leaving everybody 

In my car
Screaming yarns
Thinking how I can I go forward
When I can’t get my footing 

And that tastes like bad medicine a medicine a sentiment
You lived through this you’ll live through that
It all comes back in different timing 

By and large
You’re in charge
And expected to go forward
But you lost your army

Here we are
With our scars
And they tell the true story
Of losing everybody 

And that tastes like bad medicine a medicine a sentiment
You lived through this you’ll live through that
It all comes back in different timing

You must be looking for someone to give you relief
Your bad days are smarting and you want something to believe 

Well look at what you’ve been through 

And it tastes like bad medicine a medicine a medicine
Sentiment you lived through this you’ll live through
It all comes back in different timing
