One More Dance 04:00
lyrics
buy track
I got the blues today, I don’t know if I can say I’m beat but I’m not broken I may be down but I’m not out Got some things to think about I’m scared but I’m still hoping. I got things in my mind to help me through these troubled times Look into myself and find the hell that will make me find, Another life, this time, I got a chance to improve my stance, one more dance. Everybody’s got a special place, where they go to save face It’s there but they don’t know it Sometimes you got to go so far down, to the lowest point underground You’ll be stronger and you’ll show it This time I’ll be stoic I got things in my mind to help me through these troubled times Look into myself and find the hell that will make me find Another life, this time, I got a chance to improve my stance One more dance

Out Of Control 03:47
lyrics

Got your satellite dish Got your plasma TV Got your fancy car, got your every wish Got your home odyssey Complete with full faculty Got a 30 foot yacht Got your ecstasy You’re out of control, way out of control You’re out of control, way out of control Got your pretty face Lifetime club membership Dog’s drool at your feet And lick the bones clean off the meat You’re out of control, way out of control You’re out of control, way out of control What if it all was taken away? Where would you be come judgment day? You & all your luxuries Life was good to you but not to me You’re out of control, way out of control You’re out of control, way out of control

Troubled Times 03:35
lyrics
buy track
We’re in a time of trouble We’re in a time of need There’s no time like the present, to plant a brand new seed We’re in a time of mistrust; we’re in a time of hate There’s no time like the present, to change the way things are Before it’s too late When times are tough and love is hard to find Things get rough and peace is out of mind Why do we fight for what we think is mine? Why can’t we try and make a world that’s kind. We’re in a time of wanting; we’re in a time of greed There’s no time like the present To heal the wounds before they start to bleed. We’re in time of trouble; we’re in an hour of need There’s no time like the present To euthanize the pain before it breeds. When times are tough and love is hard to find Things get rough and peace is out of mind Why do we fight for what we think is mine? Why can’t we try and make a world that’s kind

The Way Time Flies 02:31
lyrics
buy track
You are born, you get older, you get wiser you get by You get lonely, you get a need, to be free, then you die It all depends on the way the time flies In between, there are blocks, in your life that lasted long Though those years, went on & on, when you learned the right from wrong, it seemed those times, weren’t long enough There were days, that have passed, when you thought they wouldn’t last, & when they came to an end, you knew you could depend, on the way the time, man it flies

Suburban Adventure 04:33
lyrics
buy track
Woke up in the early morning sunshine Took a look around the neighborhood Saw Mr. Jones crawl into his blue Rolls Royce Tap the chauffer on the shoulder & said Go Boy. Across the street lives Mr. & Miss America Strolling up & down drive ways of gold She flaunts the diamond ring there on her finger His new Rolex is already old, well I ain’t got a lot but what I got is good enough Good enough for me, good enough for me Good enough for me Down the street there’s little Miss Pretender Through her vanity mirror she never looked better She got her hair on straight & lipstick red like ember He’s all dolled up to be the new gender bender, well I ain’t got a lot but what I got is good enough Good enough for me, good enough for me Good enough for me Scenes from my real Suburb adventure A very eventful day to remember Scenes from my real Suburb adventure I hope I never ever be like that, well I ain’t got a lot but what I got is good enough Good enough for me, good enough for me Good enough for me

I.O.U. 03:31
lyrics

When you’re in deep And you’re losing sleep Can’t find a way to make ends meet With your back up against the wall Want to get away from it all Eyes of sympathy don’t ease the fall I owe you owe we owe I owe you owe me owe Credit to the max Fed up with all the taxes Going to cause your heart to attack There’s no easy street All you know is deceit Haven’t seen a friend all week I owe you owe we owe I owe you owe me owe Don’t bite the hand that feeds you Don’t leave the world that needs you I know it’s too much for one man Don’t save the ones who bleed you Don’t con the one’s who please you It won’t kill you to open up your hand. I owe you owe we owe I owe you owe me owe Don’t think it hard To ask for help in your moment of desperation Not everyone’s above sub-par Don’t give up hope, don’t take the pill that everyone’s trying to feed you, just ease the tension around my throat

In '45 03:28
lyrics
buy track
Rode into town on a wounded horse A scent of death lingers Marred & scarred & a little off course I grasped the trigger In ’45 young men died, it was a fact of life ‘neath angry skies, blood draws flies And never look into the eyes. Walked into a local saloon As the bartender sighs A pint of ale, a shot of red-eye I held the trigger. In ’45 you’d show no signs Fear could lead you to the grave A sweaty hand or an itchy thigh And never look into the eyes In ’45 young men died Townsfolk just look the other way ‘neath angry skies, cold as ice No one would ever think twice Rode out of town on a wounded horse My hands still tingle..

World Unwound 04:16
lyrics
buy track
Sitting on a stairway looking down Wondering why the lost are never found Never does love ever come around Talking to the ones that hit the ground What we were then was hardly seen What we are now is too extreme When you’re lonely down & out Sometimes you have to do without No silver spoons no living rooms Sleeping where the flowers never bloom What we were then was hardly seen What we are now is too extreme Shame on us all for what we seem Safe behind the walls we cannot leave Sitting on a stairway looking down Wondering why the lost are never found Never does love ever come around Watching as the world comes unwound Watching as the world comes unwound No silver spoons, no living rooms No silver spoons, no living rooms

Pain 03:10
lyrics
buy track
Life, what a mystery Love, for the well to be Hate, such a tragedy Death, is a destiny Exploding clouds, so high above Burning rain & falling dust Black haze skies & heartless love Brings the pain to all of us Truths, are formality Lies, what commodity Words, such prosperity Thoughts, actual reality. Exploding clouds so high above Burning rain & falling dust Black haze skies & heartless love Brings pain to all of us To Whom It May Concern, reality is immoral, it deadens the senses & dilutes the mind. Let us revert from this tragic destiny of our unbridled society, leads down the road to destruction

Never 02:48
lyrics
buy track
Gazing out to space, I spy a lonely face It is calling, it is calling Listen to the fears that cried a million tears They are falling, they are falling Oh, this aching pain, it drives the sane insane Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Will I never catch the train, as it tears along the track? Will I ever be the same, if I’m not coming back? Though the old ones know, they feel it in their bones They are thinning, oh, so thinning So, it’s over now, I grasp at floating clouds Am I dreaming? Always dreaming? Will I never catch the wind, as it blows at my back? Will I ever know the truth, as I see a spiraled path? Will I ever catch the train as it tears along the track? Will I ever be the same if I’m not coming back?

Problem 02:48
lyrics
buy track
Out of sight, out of mind Out of place, out of time You never knew, you got a problem like you do. Never day, forever night Child of gray, don’t feel right This day and age, you almost always run away You’ve done it all, you don’t see writing on the wall You did it all, the only words are on your grave. How many ways, do you escape Into the haze, aren’t you afraid It’s in your head, you might be better off dead. You’ve done it all, you don’t see writing on the wall You’re in a hole, only God can save your soul. Out of sight, out of mind Out of faith. out of time You never knew, you got a problem like you do You got a problem like you do, you got a problem like you do. You got a problem like you do

Remember Me 02:28
lyrics
buy track
Two stranger’s stand, on the road looking lost Take another glance, familiar face from the past Start to walk on, should have said hello Could be very long, before you know I remember you, how do you do? remember you Yes I do, remember you, do you too, remember me Remember me, remember me, Why is it we pass like ships in the night? Never understood, always afraid, of making some honest mistake But we’re not alone. I remember you, how do you do? Remember you Yes I do, remember you, do you too remember me Remember me, remember me

Dark Hours 05:45
lyrics
buy track
What’s the point to be like everyone? Make’s no sense to me, it can be done Have my darkest hours just begun? Are my greatest fears still to come? Took a lonely walk out in the sun Love won’t talk to me, I’ve been shunned Wish I could take a pill & make it all go away But I can’t deal with that escape Wish I could take a drink & ease my mind of pain But I’d regret it when I wake But I’d regret it if I wake Too many times I’ve had to, say no to my yearns Some never learn, they need their rock to hide behind I got my own, mountain to climb What’s the point to be like everyone? Make’s no sense to me it can be done Have my darkest hours just begun? Are my greatest fears still to come? Took a lonely walk out in the sun Love won’t talk to me, I’ve been shunned Wish I could take a pill & make it all go away But I can’t deal with that escape Wish I could take a drink & ease my mind of pain But I’d regret it when I wake, but I’d regret when I wake
