Left to Lose

You can leave my things right where there at,
yeah nothin' I own is worth turning back.
I've got a crazy thirst for where I have not been.
I walk a lonesome road that will never end.
It'll cost you two coins,
to get the boat rowin,'
if the darkness outweighs your desire.
But the rains gonna' fall
and the wind keeps blowin.'
Yeah it howls all the time,
but once you've been through hell
you can walk through the fire.
We are nameless to the better half,
they will fake a smile and tip a cap.
But i've lain with queens and I have dined with rats.
Her eyes they tell me that's just that.
It'll cost you two coins,
to get the boat rowin,'
if the darkness outweighs your desire.
But the rains gonna' fall
and the wind keeps blowin.'
Yeah it howls all the time,
but once you've been through hell
you can walk through the fire.

To live like this
beneath these waves
Ice cold steel pressed against his tongue
and the one faint click held the resonance,
with all of his pain in unison.
"Now I don't want any second chances," he said.
"There's no regaining what has been lost."
"He's innocent and it tears me down to see him grow up just like us."
To suffer the loss.
To carry the cross.
I'm coming undone.
So keep me out of this line of fire.
There's too much trouble here in this little city
and every middleman's up for hire.
Well the party's almost over
and I've been coming down a little while.
You gotta' get your hands bloody
for the sad kind of funny,
to spend so many nights on trial.
So you sold your soul to rock n' roll,
little darlin' the crossroads isn't quite what you would think.
Put the pen to the pad
and let the dreams in your head
explode through these city streets.
To suffer the loss.
To carry the cross.
I'm coming undone.
So keep me out of this line of fire.
There's too much trouble here in this little city
and every middleman's up for hire.
I'm coming undone.
So keep me out of this line of fire.
There's too much trouble in this little city
and every cheap tricks up for hire.
Up for hire.

Glass Chariot

I met a mystic down in Sylva,
she whispered in my ear,
"bless your soul for seeing me,
not many can 'round here."
"I see a man who fills your heart with hate
still follows you my dear."
Did feel loved or unloved?
With your head held under water
And I always seem to find my way
back to town again.
soon enough I wind up in some cheap opium den.
But I feel stuck so I get drunk,
it's just the idea of her I love
and a long route to rebuild the broken home.
So tell me Judas did you rest easy
betraying Jesus Christ?
Tucked your silver in your coin purse,
turned your head and closed your eyes.
Tell me did you beg forgiveness?
Let the holy ghost inside?
Did you feel loved or unloved?
Were your reminded of someone you know,
familiar like growin' up?
Let the venom hollow out your veins,
as it races around your blood.
And in the lonely silent wreckage,
when your left with just your thoughts,
Did you feel loved or unloved?
Did you feel loved or unloved?
Tell me brother
Tell me sister
Tell me daughter
Tell me son
Did you feel loved or unloved?

Blood and Beyond
03:56

Flesh blood and bone,
stretched over the globe,
centuries have come and gone,
where do we belong?
Same ol' world,
kindred flame,
brother draw now from my strength
whenever you're in pain
and I will do the same.
Take the hand next to yours,
hold it o' so tight,
if the arrows tear your flesh,
know that they tear through mine,
you are never in this alone.
Somber sweet,
violent and loud,
holy totem,
bless it is sound,
proof of god
and the one piece in this place i've found.
I know you feel these spirits move,
beckoning to sweet romantic fools,
thriving on heartache,
a thirst for wounds
and wounds,
by god we have a few.
Take the hand next to yours,
hold it o' so tight,
if the arrows tear your flesh,
know that they tear through mine,
we are never in this alone.
Each mile brings new scars,
the juggling act,
the trapeze art,
watch your step,
if we fall
our mistakes made us who we are.
Death is wild free untamed,
love encompassed
but never gained,
as we transcend to beautiful planes,
There's good
but goddamn I know you hurt.
Take the hand next to yours,
hold it o' so tight,
if the arrows tear your flesh,
know that they tear through mine,
we are never in this alone.
This alone.
This alone.

People Let You Down
04:29
|

Are you feelin' better?
I hope you can hear this,
whether deaf ears or dumb lips.
The silence was understood.
It's victory through hardship.
Broke but never broken.
When the cheap seats are golden.
When a long shot wins.
And they tell you to run
in every other direction.
But we're not the kind
to let the fear call the shots.
You've been sufferin' for too long,
brother pick up and move on,
cause' we're all,
we're all tryin' to feel better now.
People will let you down.
Drive the old ghosts out.
So hold on.
Faith untouchable.
Welcome the new ghosts home,
follow your dreams down,
down down down.
Yea' no surrender.
Are you feelin' better?
Lost on the interstate,
a thousand miles away
from your anxious thoughts.
Are you feeling stronger?
You feel like you belong here,
on a road less traveled,
liftin' up a curse.
They'll tell you to run
in every other direction.
But we're not the kind
to let the fear call the shots.
If you've been sufferin' for too long,
maybe pick up and move on,
cause' we're all,
all tryin' to feel better now.
People will let you down.
To spite them all,
hold on.
Faith untouchable.
lost son prodigal,
follow your dreams down,
down down down.
Yea' no surrender.
Yea' we're all,
tryin' to feel better now.
People will let you down.
People don't change.
It's my name,
took it all with a stiff lip.
Hold fast cried the new champ.
There's nothin' left to lose.
Yea' no surrender.

Body Electric

The shades were drawn,
as the birds come calling,
as the darkness turns to dawn
once again.
Let the coffee cup cool where it sits,
Man of action
and it's time to split.
He's got a lust for life
and a brand new song and dance.
Scarlet lips and a southern draw,
she's the poster girl
for rock n' roll.
When she comes around
he loses control,
she's got a fire down deep
in her soul.
She's got a lust for life
and a brand new song and dance.
So we can take our time.
C'mon baby get me high.
Until you get yours,
i'm not gettin' mine.
And now our bodies twist
like brushstrokes on fresh canvas.
Your hearts run wild,
you know I love to make you smile.
Wasting the day
in a cavalcade of tall cans,
as the dock it dances and sways,
and the sun hit a wall
from this buzz goin' round,
so we'll have to be on our way,
to find a place uptown
to give our feet that ol' time sound.
Said hey little girl,
sometimes you just need a friend,
so don't get caught up in thought,
helps arrived just in time.
Let's go for a ride,
aimless with skin to skin,
wreck-less in high demand,
ride or die,
fight or flight,
you know I love to make your smile.
Both possessed by the resonance,
their bodies went rogue and it showed.
You know time stands still
when you got something like that,
their eyes were locked
and they were hand in hand.
They got a lust for life
and a brand new song and dance.
Let's take our time.
C'mon baby get me high.
Until you get yours,
I'm not gettin' mine.
And now our bodies twist
like brushstrokes on fresh canvas.
Your hearts run wild,
you know I love to make you smile.

Breathe.
Breathe.
I am not afraid.
Death mask on,
beat the drums.
Praise the lord for the sinning that I have done.
Enter Satan,
welcome hatred.
Take a good look at what you've created.
We breathe.
I am not afraid.
Centuries past
I've weathered this storm.
Left for dead
but death cannot claim this soul.
I've lived many lives,
stood right here before.
Your bound to find the devil
when you fuck around at his door.
I am not afraid.
I am not afraid to die.
I am the mast,
the sail,
the crashing wave,
the fertile womb
and unmarked grave.
Your mothers blood and savior,
your lover and creator,
what is and was,
the king of storms,
the cancer dancing around your lungs.
Why should I be afraid?
And now you come
on bended knee,
penance for your Joie de vivre.
Darling it's already too little to late.
All is lost.
And we breathe.
We breathe deep.
I am not afraid.
I am not afraid to die.
I am not afraid to die.

Bleached bones
along the interstate,
skyline whipping past,
beat up old Chevy,
quick out the gate,
silent checks
the cops they couldn't cash,
nowhere in mind,
just killing time.
China white,
some cigarettes
and cheap wine.
They called him home,
so we must let him go,
Charlie what have you done tonight?
No lights flash on the ambulance,
in the pale of a cold
Michigan sky.
That good source,
he'll come singin'
"I'm here to steal your light away,"
you got brass kid
but you can't see that.
I'm not so easy to shake,
I'm not so easy to shake.
The world of
flaming arrows
will tear flesh from bone
to your relief.
The hot spoon,
she's a loaded gun.
It's the kind of love
that will bring you to your knees.
That good source,
he'll come singin'
"I'm hear to steal your light away."
You got brass kid
but you can't see that.
I'm not so easy to shake.
I'm not so easy to shake.
They called him home,
so we must let him go,
Charlie what have you done tonight?
No lights flash on the ambulance,
in the pale of a cold
Michigan Sky.
