notes from a night with no sleep when i said that I never wanted to be somebody I never said no words so untrue I always wanted to be just like you whatever that meant I said, let's just forget about it. forget about it. forget about lost causes. forget about dark closets, in which we slept, I guess that I'm better off then I'm better off than dead, just like you said. as we could, when we can, we did what we did that we could with what we had but oh, the sunshine gleamed so bright today. i tied on my shoes tight today to keep my feet just walking straight so i won't stand in place i held up my head high today i like my loads kept light today i hold onto you right - this way you'll never be afraid

Like a Dog 04:08
like a dog that said, said i'm scared like a dog and i fly like a hawk, just to get out of here once more, shall we swim to the shore? do you really give a shit? or do we just move on with it? when i say i'm a killer of man, i think you know what i mean pour some water all over our heads, maybe wash ourselves clean check two. now, here is a clue: mean what you say and you do what you do. but that's me, full of hypocrisy. i've been in a battle with me since i was only 16. when i say...... if all i ever do is spin when the bells begin to ring i can't accept this offering of the gifts you dare to bring remember why you do it. remember why you do it if you're going to be true. but that's me, and i'm lost in a dream. that said............

needles & trees heads shall raise you've got your tail between your legs you want to whistle on some fallen grass blades but you've got that look upon your face that screams out, hazy days. you want the flowers and the trees. you want them all to grow so beautifully but you dont want the rain to touch your feet. can't you hear them calling out? their voices sound so sweet but all you do is drown in doubt, "you can't save a wretch like me." broken down in every car and every town we ran until the wheels fell off this time we ran until there's no place left to hide but you know that hearts shall mend like broken bones lets not pretend we've never caused the crimes made judas cry we never fought the moons that made the tides can't you hear.... sun shall rise the time before it sets we call our lives remember me well, my only friend when promises we kept still meant something can't you hear... ninety knives can't make the devils bleed ninety notes cant make the angels sing can't save a wretch like me

Wichita 06:50
wichita i spent seventeen nights in the shock of the winter and shots in the dark and the ousnds of your whisper i guess i love you so much because you showed me your heart but i steal away like some thief in the night, with a bag of cocaine don't you tell me what's right cuz i know it already. i've got a heart of my own and you're never alone, so please don't you cry put your bullets away and i'll put away mine because we all know some words can be kind and some can be daggers let it rain, let it rain well the sun blinded our eyes and was gone just as quick as it came i'm still sleeping outside under treacherous skies let it rain well i've spent sleepless nights with the eyes of a madman and walked the straigh line with the tie of a taxman and when you get on your knees and you pray sometimes you just have to wait and you'll wait like a widow waits to wake from a dream and you'll speak in a whisper and scream, "i'm still free." but you're not free. you're just a child. you're still scared of the dark. and the death of my heart was the spark of this life i can't crawl from this ditch but i think i'll still try. that's the story of my whole life. just crawling from ditches let it rain....... well we take from this cup and its never enough and the poison we drink only thins out our blood. its a lie we've been fed; that we're better of dead it's the life. it's the life. it's the life.

telephone wire one last thing that i remember as the blood was running down my sleeve and i lied to me and told me everything was warm and free but in that summer i surrendered so much of my youth and dignity now look at me 5 years gone by and im still saying save me. save me . save me. because i'm in some murky waters and it's getting hard to breath another story unfolds just like every story before and by now i've come to know that everything just needs to space to breath but oh my little bird, despite what what you've heard, a love complete is a love that's free but save me save me. because i'm in some murky waters and its getting hard to see. if you want to point your finger why do you wanna point em at me? yes, i'm in some murky water and its getting hard to breath save me.

Porch Choir 01:21
for heaven's sake, go on and sing your song until your heart is no longer lonesome and your back becomes strong but for heaven's sake, don't you wait so long, til your hearts all bruised and bitter and your days are all gone for heaven's sake, won't you sing your song until your hearts no longer lonesome, and the dark becomes dawn so for seven days, and i gave my blood until the lord looked down and and told me, "you done good my son"
