Live Without It Hey Momma lead me from this dying land Straight back to something I can understand Feel like a prisoner in a burning cell Locked in a nightmare that I know too well Leave me outcast on that island; breathe me life I'm tired of dying I gotta learn to live without it all So much confusion I don't need I gotta learn to live without it When the shit comes down this time around Paint me a picture of another place Where I can live without this bitter taste And if you walk me through the firestorm I might find refuge in another form Pull me outside of my anger; hold me 'till I'm out of danger Chorus Make me a promise and just let it float I'll wrap myself in this foolish hope Like an imaginary overcoat You're the rust and I'm the water, I'm the trust but you're the lie and... Chorus Close Window

Sweet Destiny Well there's a couple out walking, they're speaking in sign It's a good conversation, I think she's changing her mind There's a whole lot of people, at the end of my block Just sitting in doorways, nobody's punching a clock Don't know much about fate It always seemed to me That I'd just sit here waiting on my destiny, sweet destiny They're telling their stories, on the six o'clock news It's the same old reporters; nobody's changing their views But, somewhere down south now, looks like it's starting to blow It's a hurricane warning, baby we gotta go now go Chorus Well they're cleaning up Main Street, some lines have come down The sirens are blasting, on the outskirts of town And I'm picking up branches, in the back of my yard Just over the border, they say it's still coming down hard Don't know much about fate It always seemed to me That I'd just sit here waiting on my destiny Thought it would come to me Sweet Destiny, baby comes to me Close Window

That Wasn't Me I don't know where I went wrong I guess I just lost track Lately, all the ones I love are the ones that I attack I used to be so easy man I used to be so calm But, now my head pounds like an engine block, my temper's like a bomb But, that wasn't me, that wasn't me The one that came apart so easily That wasn't me, that wasn't me That is not the man that I want to be Sometimes I just breakdown at the ringing of the phone 'Cause on the other end there ain't no friend man it cuts to the bone And lately all the answers just seem farther down the road And everyone that's near me waits in fear for the next time I explode Chorus Well maybe I should sit back and try to let it go 'Cause it's a fool who lets the candle burn at the end you're supposed to hold 1-900 what's my future? Can't you tell me please? Man I've been praying so much lately now there's bloodstains on my knees Chorus Close Window

Just What You Please I don't know where I went wrong I guess I just lost track Lately, all the ones I love are the ones that I attack I used to be so easy man I used to be so calm But, now my head pounds like an engine block, my temper's like a bomb But, that wasn't me, that wasn't me The one that came apart so easily That wasn't me, that wasn't me That is not the man that I want to be Sometimes I just breakdown at the ringing of the phone 'Cause on the other end there ain't no friend man it cuts to the bone And lately all the answers just seem farther down the road And everyone that's near me waits in fear for the next time I explode Chorus Well maybe I should sit back and try to let it go 'Cause it's a fool who lets the candle burn at the end you're supposed to hold 1-900 what's my future? Can't you tell me please? Man I've been praying so much lately now there's bloodstains on my knees Chorus Close Window

Cold Drank a toast to sacrifice, filled my bags with bad advice Walked through fields of broken glass, just because they let me pass And there's not much that I remember since I lost control I don't know how it got so cold, it got so cold There's a secret room we never found, where nothing ever brings you down And there's a voice that's crystal clear, it tells you what you want to hear And you don't mind the conversation once you disengage the soul I don't know how it got so cold, it got so cold I really don't expect you to understand this place I really don't expect you to comprehend the waste Comprehend, comprehend the waste Given time you might believe, that I'm exactly what you need Throw me your hypnotic stare, and tell me how it got you there And leave me when it's over like a book that never sold I don't know how it got so cold, it got so cold There's nothing quite as solid once you set your sights on gold I don't know how it got so cold, it got so cold Close Window

What They Say Don't wanna change the way you waste your precious time Can't think of anything better to do Hate to see you crossing over the double line Speeding 'round the corner from some rendezvous Don't wanna change the way you lock your doors at night I think it's great the way you tuck right in But, when you're dreaming 'bout some new kind of life Somebody's thinking 'bout the one you're in Hey I got news for the world today What you take for granted might just slip away It's been too many years since Purple Haze And ain't that what they say, ain't that what they say Ain't that what they say Well I never thought about Elvis Presley baby When I was young he wasn't all that cool He looked like my father with a big white collar baby Standing in the kitchen singing Don't Be Cruel Chorus Don't wanna change the way you live your little life Think that clearly it's an open door Just don't come crying when things don't go quite right Nothing comes easy baby that's for sure Chorus Close Window

Wintercoat It's been a hard one, getting cold You can see me breathing Better find my wintercoat Seems like the season And isn't that the way? The world moves on without me And right behind the fool I am is the fool I'll always be You can watch 'em, out on the street But you won't see me there Or in the backyards, kids at there feet I was always somewhere else And isn't that the way? The world moves on without me And right behind the fool I am is the fool I'll always be solo And isn't that the way The world moves on without me And right behind the fool I am is the fool I'll always be And right behind the fool I am is the fool I'll always be Close Window

Give Back My Heart Give back my heart, you've had your turn It's time for me to move along and this I've learned That sometimes love, is more a curse You give your heart and soul but then it just gets worse Don't expect me to linger here When I've got my life to start And all the plans that bound us once have been torn apart Give back my heart Give back my soul, it's in your hands And all that I can do is hope you'll understand That sometimes love is meant to be Well that's just not the way it went for you and me Chorus solo Chorus Close Window

Your Little Pals Well I went down the path; you cut my life in half Put me in a box and tried to shut the locks And there's no violence that'll cut you like the silence When it hounds you, paralyzes and surrounds you And the wheels go 'round, and the wheels go 'round And the wheels go 'round, they're gonna run me down You build me walls to climb, Your favorite waste of time Jumping any train, just to get away You got me thinking 'till everything around me's sinking I'll take you with me long enough to call you history Chorus I've been giving what I give, living where I live...so long And you've been hoping for the worst, man you help me 'till it hurts so so long And the wheels go 'round, they're gonna run me...down If you listen close, you can hear the ghost Of what I wanted, but now it's just a house that's haunted With no intention, you're looking for the last invention Chorus Close Window

Somebody New Where did it happen? Did I lose something I need along the way? And what was I doing? Did I disregard the speed something could change? But, give me one little chance it'll be all right I know what you're thinking but I know just what to do 'Cause I've been wasting my time fighting the wrong fight Now instead of breaking I could be some...I could be somebody new Well I've been around now I've seen all life's little tricks, I'm not amused I look in the mirror But, I try to make it quick, I get too confused Chorus solo Give me one little chance it'll be all right I know what you're thinking but I know just what to do 'Cause I've been wasting my time fighting the wrong fight Now instead of breaking I could be some... I could be somebody new repeat Close Window

Johanna's Dreams I was lost before Johanna saved me from myself She picked me up with a love much stronger than my doubt And in her eyes I see clearly the promise of angels And the hope to be redeemed And in between the garden and this world there lies Johanna's dreams May her hands turn with a sculptor's vision on her life And may her voice inspire others closer to the light She says I know a secret 'bout this unsure future And it's not what it might seem 'Cause in betwe I think I know what it means That in between the garden and this world there lies Johanna's dreams In between the garden and this world there lies Johanna's dreams Close Window

2AM Pass me that bottle of three-dollar wine Well I've got a story that's well past its time And don't bother asking if all of it's true What I hold as gospel, might not be the gospel to you Well I've dreamed of Heaven and I know it well But I've seen my reflection on the windows of Hell And sometimes I wonder which side I'm on If I'm looking outward, God help me, all hope is gone So into the fire I cast off my pride And let it devour the weakness it hides And all of the secrets that I've never told And hope what emerges is man that is honest and bold Close Window
