Lost Soul

There’s a dying voice within me
Slowly fading away
I once had so many dreams
But now this world seems gray

I don’t know if to cry
To this dull little world of mine
It once began to come alive
Now I’m just wasting my time

I’m a lost soul
Stuck in this forsaken dust bowl
Tired of playing this role
Tired of being alone
I’m just a lost soul

Everyday I wake up
Walk outside, try to find my role
I stare down this empty cup
This treacherous black hole

I’m constantly falling
Out of touch with reality
And everybody’s talking
Just ruins my sanity

I’m a lost soul
Stuck in this forsaken dust bowl
Tired of playing this role
Tired of being alone
I’m just a lost soul

I’m just trying to feel
Anything except for this pain
Anything but incomplete
Trying to smile again

Well I never did know
This state of mind would exist here
It’s so hard to let go of
Both your dreams and your fears

I’m a lost soul
Stuck in this forsaken dust bowl
Tired of playing this role
Tired of being alone
I’m just a lost soul

You Got To Move Those Feet Around

I’m on a quest, walking this thin line
I can’t rest until I’ve found where love is kind
I hear no one calling
Things happen to me without a warning
If you’re down and out
Out of luck
Starting to drown
You Got To Move Those Feet Around

I drove in to another dead end street
Took another chance but it wasn’t very sweet
When can this change for me
How could I ever feel complete
Completely bound
Safe and Sound
You Got To Move Those Feet Around

You can always start again but you can’t repeat the past
Time has moved on and it’s never coming back
These feelings in me are driving me to tears
I can’t turn them off cause they’re surrounded by fears
Fears of a world that’s unknown
Tells me I gotta move my feet around

Suddenly you’re on my mind
I can’t get you out if I tried
I’ve urged so long for some contact
Biding my time to get back
Waiting’s fine
‘til you reach the line
When you’re so fuckin’ low
You gotta act
Face yourself and the facts
Put on your shoes
Kick off your blues
Turn everything upside down
You Got To Move Those Feet Around

Hit You From Below

We don’t need your chemical artillery
We don’t need your lies and deceit
If you can’t listen to your own
Then you’ve got to face defeat

The opressed shall find their way
Someday

You’ll never know
What hit you from below
Your ruling will forego
And you’ll never know
What hit you from below

You can kill every man in your prison
Kill all of the ideas that you meet
But there’s always people
Who’ll never accept defeat

The opressed shall find their way
Someday

You’ll never know
What hit you from below
Your ruling will forego
And you’ll never know
What hit you from below

You’re comfortable on your throne
You’ve found your holy grail
But what will happen to you
When the crimes you’ve comitted will unveil

The opressed shall find their way
Someday

You’ll never know
What hit you from below
Your ruling will forego
And you’ll never know
What hit you from below

Yes, your ruling must clearly end
Feelings and empathy
You can’t comprehend
Or how real life works
You only see the perks
And that’s why

The opressed will find their way
Someday

And you’ll never know
What hit you from below
Your ruling will forego
And you’ll never know
What hit you from below

I Should Never Have Treated You So

How can
I try
To answer for
Right now
All of those things I said

Just happened
To be
A little too
Set free
When I came ’round that day

Hear my lone confession
Now that I’m-a feeling blue
Sometimes I think back at those times
When our love were true

When you heard me speak
I was too weak
I’ve got to change you know
From this new kind of low
I should never have treated you so

No, it was not
The time
For speaking my
Mind
With not a nice word to lend

You know
Even though
I never wanted you
To go
Every story must end

In my lone confession
In every single word
There falls a shroud of silence
Where echoes once were heard

When you heard me speak
I was too weak
I hope that you can forgive me
I can’t let it go
I should never have treated you so

6 Months

6 months

That’s how long it took

For us to meet again

6 months

A brief flash of time

Or an eternity spent insane

I can’t blame thee

The shame lies on me

For living up ‘n’ down

For not being around

But I hope we’re okay

Despite all of those days

That I was on the run

For 6 months

6 months

There ain’t no way to tell

How I’ve withered away

6 months

I never ment to be cruel

I’m just a fool so afraid

I can’t blame thee

The shame lies on me

For living up ‘n’ down

For not being around

But I hope we’re okay

Despite all of those days

That I was on the run

For 6 months

6 months

A continual trip away

From the cold reality

6 months

Without  a single clue

Facing my own mortality

I just blame me

For tryin’ t’ be free

Yes, living up ‘n’ down

A fool downtown

But I hope we’re okay

Despite all of those days

That I was on the run

For 6 months
