Like a Dream

"You will not hear the usual things if you come with me, come with me, down this rocky road, come with me, in this beat-up car we will look under stones and see who is hiding there, we will scrape our knees on bottles in the ghetto, come with me, we will scoop into shadows, examine and report, and sing to you about what we've found."
You've got your cars and you've got your stars and I've got this old highway.
You've got your dreams wrapped up in ice-cream and things just never go my way.
Life gets so hard for me when it feels like a dream.
Time gets torn apart when it feels like a dream.
Platinum wedding bands and empty one-night stands and all these fading memories like blacktop moonshine and swingset frontlines and the old man's still laughing at me.
Life gets so hard for me when it feels like a dream.
Time gets torn apart when it feels like a dream.
And row row row my boat.
It lies like a dream.

Empty

It comes back to haunt me when I'm alone, in the cold, on the floor. It comes back to haunt me on the street, in the winter wind. The memories both stellar and sullen. A misery so deep. They say I should just go with the flow but I feel like I'm sprung.
I'm empty but I'm free. I'm lonely but all I got to blame is me. I'm senseless but I'm home. I'm useless but I know just where I'm goin'.
You come back to curse me with you lips, with your tongue, with your eyes. I come back to tell you I can't hear, can't see, can't abide. And it feels like a thunderin' lightnin'. It feels like the snow. You came over to kiss me. I just let you go.
I'm empty but I'm free. I'm lonely but all I got to blame is me. I'm senseless but I'm home. I'm useless but I know just where I'm goin'.
It comes back to hurt me. It comes back to burn me. It comes back to sear me. It comes back to cure me. It comes back to cut me. It comes back to shut me. It comes back to pour me out. It's blood. It's cum. It's five-day old chewin' gum. It's wasted. It's tasted. It's tearin' me apart. I remember it clearly like summer. It felt like love. Now, there's only one question, "What have I done?"
I'm empty but I'm free. I'm lonely but all I got to blame is me. I'm senseless but I'm home. I'm useless but I know just where I'm goin'.
It comes out as a whisper in the dark. It comes out as a mumbled prayer. It wakes me up to look for you then I realize you're not there.

To Your Level

You've got nothing on me,
I'm on my way to Paradise.
You can't hold me back,
You can't keep me back,
I'm blown away,
I've flown away,
On this breeze.
Take a little time,
Ease your little mind.
Take another pill,
Feel a little chill,
Feel a little ill.
Stick it in your vein,
Stick it in your blood,
Let it hit your brain,
Rushes like a flood,
Mix another drink,
Vomit in the sink,
Cover it in ink.
Wait for me to come down off this,
Wait for me to sink down to your level.

Ease Up
04:20

The poison in my soul makes me feel old. It makes me feel so cold. The poisons in my mind, makin' me blind, make me so unkind. The poison in your eyes when you said goodbye tonight makes me wanna fight.
Ease up. Ease up on me. Help me see things the way they used to be. Help me be the man you know I wanna be.
These things I can't give up. The toxins in this cup. I know your mind's made up. It's so hard to forget all the things that I regret. I haven't succeeded yet. Is there some medicine for my latest binge? For my latest sin?

Fades to Black

My life is like the movies,
I can't wait till it's over,
When things start lookin' too bad,
I just wait another hour,
I don't like bein' left alone,
And I barely enjoy breathin',
Except when I'm drunk or stoned,
And the music is beatin',
And it all goes black,
You can't turn back,
'Cause it fades to black.
Whisper in my ear and tell me I'm o.k.,
Whisper soft and clear and tell me everything's alright,
Well it's alright, I'm alright, at least for tonight.
Music is how I pray,
And sex is like eatin',
You have to every now and then,
Just to keep your heart beatin',
I never wanted this baby,
I never thought this could happen,
I never wanted this baby,
But sometimes shit happens,
And it all goes black,
You can't turn back,
'Cause it fades to black.

Save Me
03:44

The old knight stands so tall and this new night hangs from the walls. An angel up above shines down on two kids in love. A young man heads to war and his girlfriend can't look for more. He's a hi-class rolling stone and his baby's momma's left all alone.
"Is it peace you seek or did you wanna just get farther away from me? And I know only Jesus saves but I wish you'd saved me a little something to take home."
"Why did you sign up? Why did you ship out? Why did you leave me lonely? How could you just walk out? You're a real peace of work and your such a fuckin' jerk! Big-shot know-it-all did you think you could just have it all?"

Very Much
02:23

I wanna see you smile and I wanna hold your hand for just a little while. I wanna spend the night outside in an empty cornfield. We'll watch twilight pass us by. You could be the autumn earth and I could be the leaves falling down. We could build a summer home of twilight dreams and castles in the clouds. Will you go with me down beside the lakeshore underneath the kissing tree?
I don't know if it's temporary or just a little crush; but, I think that I could love you very much.
