Fool's Gold 03:33
i’m alright i’m ok i’m just trying to make it through another day when will you see that i’m not the man i used to be? leave it all in the past good decisions never seem to last they get lost in the night watch the world close their eyes why can’t you see my point of view? is it something you’re not used to? got a knife in my back cause i always seem to get off track can’t pull it out no this is my ball and chain you don’t want what you’ve got so you try to be something that you’re not but it never works cause you’ll always be the same why don’t the pieces ever seem to fit? look at your life and wonder where it went i forgot that we were only temporary next thing i knew the tables turned the girl was gone, a lesson learned. new years eve winter breeze i felt warmer when you noticed me yeah you look so good and i wanna reel you in keep you all to myself don’t feel like sharing you with anybody else you deserve my love for the rest of your life my intuition’s telling me that we would eventually break apart cause there’s something ‘bout your charm i know that led to many broken hearts you came back for some more b-bang-bang knockin’ on my door but it’s not enough cause i can’t trust anyone is it real or pretend? cause when i look at you you look at him it’s a crying shame when you play me for a fool sooner or later you’re bound to look back and you’re gonna wonder why you went and ran me right off the tracks cause i forgot that we were only temporary next thing i knew the tables turned the girl was gone a lesson learned

one of these days you’re gonna wake up & i’ll be gone one of these days i’ll be gone sooner or later you are bound to hear my song sooner or later gonna hear my song and when we fight i think i’m right couldn’t be more wrong i couldn’t be more wrong and if i’m leaving would you dare to tag along? would you tag along? and we could see another state drive up and down the highway we’ll drive all night until the night will turn to day until there’s nothing left to say all night long, keep driving ‘til the break of dawn oh-oh but all i wanted was to have a little fun but maybe that’s just dumb cause now i’m staring down the barrel of a gun down the barrel of a gun the precious weight of a father’s only son boy it weighs a ton the money’s calling and i got nowhere to run i got nowhere to run i guess it’s time i had to go on down to scenic river road she stole my heart but she left my soul and this song is all i have to show all around, this innocence won’t ever break me down gotta get out of town or you’ll be dead and gone before you’re in the ground oh-oh

Holy Grail 04:05
i was right, you were wrong now i’m right where i belong and you’re where you’re supposed to be cause i know you’re not with me i’m tired of finding my suspicions wrapped in lies the voice in me that keeps me lying to get off makes me think in life that nothing comes for free and that’s why i don’t let people close to me cause i know you’re only in it for the greed a modern day civil war where the rich pick on the poor and on the news a killing spree but the guilty all walk free i’m tired of finding that my heroes were all frauds a sunny night but it gets cold in california randy newman, sandy koufax know the tale old hollywood will tell your secrets for a sale false promises and broken dreams no holy grail i’m so sick of hearing to settle down and get a job cause a life with practical direction is not what i want at all it’s not what i want at all
4.
oh why oh why would you try to deny you lied you lied you lied but i died i died when i saw you with that guy i try to run and hide all my life i’ve been waiting on you to call but lately i’ve been thinking you weren’t there at all i’m never right, give me a sign before i slip and fall i’m not the type, i’m not the guy to ever really work that hard where did you go? you are a machine do you know what i mean? cause you have spent your life hiding behind a screen where did you go? nobody knows you’re not a human being your highs and lows, they never show you’re living inbetwen but she cries she cries like she has a thousand times she’ll try anything just to get on your mind and i can’t ignore you’re acting like a whore i feel so dumb for thinking we had something more and so it goes keep trying not to show how you left me so cold and growing old i feel it in my bones i’ve grown accustomed to waking up all alone and if it’s true your heart can grow from feeling sad then mine must be the biggest of them all and every time you’re late to work your boss gets mad i’ve got my back up against the wall what do we do? ain’t got a clue, i do it all for you i saw the sign, this is the time i do it all for you
5.
motivation fueled the nation they shoot when they want with no hesitation your trigger finger wrote my constitution but the powers in our hands gonna start a revolution grab all you can it’s just supply and demand you got your weapon in hand and you can see where i stand those sleepless nights and restless days time passes by, life fades away, what can i say next time around ain’t gonna be the same too quick to point the blame if it’s not your fault why you feel the pain? the things we should’ve said we never said the patriots are gone and the truth is dead instead we’’ll just pretend that it’s all ok and the loudest people always have got nothing to say soft spoken, what’s he smokin? got ideas in his mind that are gonna make some doors open so break on through to the other side when you make it to the top let ‘em know down here we’re still alive everything is not what it seems you lie, you steal, you plot and you scheme remember in the end that you get what you give you can call it what you want but it is what it is the things we should’ve said we never said the patriots are gone and the truth is dead instead we’ll just pretend that it’s all ok and the loudest people always have got nothing to say

took down the pictures of you from off the wall can’t you see i’ve been hiding trying to runaway from it all but i’m stuck in the middle of a good night sleep ain’t got the time just a dime for some money to eat and it’s hard to ignore that i’ve been here before it’s like the days go by but it’s all the same all the leaves are changing colors but the guilt is still in my veins early sunsets they undress all the pain in my heart you’re such a mess wouldn’t guess what goes on after dark there’s a burnt out light down at the end of the road don’t waste your time on me don’t waste your time on me i try so hard but it’s all vanity don’t waste your time on me well you’ve been running away just like a dog in a field paranoia in my head the driver fell asleep at the wheel head on collision is a vision it’s not that hard to see and i’ve been missing and been wishing that you’d run into me and the fire burns out in the pouring rain don’t waste your time on me don’t waste your time on me i try so hard but it’s all vanity don’t waste your time on me
7.
the answers aren’t always what you want them to be but in the end they’re what you need the things that are right in front of you can be so hard to see just lying to myself and everybody else i was blind to all the help you offered me lost where i was and that’s because i was running out of luck and i knew my time was up the lights had gone out, i’m going south almost down for the count is this all you’re about? time was looking right back at me didn’t know i fell behind when you drive with no control you tend to ignore all the signs headed in the wrong direction i don’t know much but i’ve got a few questions be careful what you hide and what you seek lost where i was and that’s because i was running out of luck and i knew my time was up the lights had gone out, i’m going south almost down for the count is this all you’re about? missed opportunities and timings gone wrong chasing distant memories while life was moving on it’s gone it’s gone it’s time to face the facts it’s gone it’s gone and it’s not coming back it’s gone it’s gone it’s time to face the facts it’s gone it’s gone and it’s not coming back lost where i was and that’s because i was running out of luck and i knew my time was up the lights had gone out, i’m going south almost down for the count is this all you’re about? you can count me out

These Days 03:51
the summer, the snow, the rain, and the fall i’m quick i know to complain about it all but don’t worry my girl i’ll be home tonight the person i was and the person i’ll be they push and they pull simultaneously but don’t worry my girl i’ll be home tonight when i see you now you look like a stranger to me i guess it’s funny how you forgot what we used to be but i’m not worried about forgetting cause forgetting never thinks of me lace up your boots boy it’s time for a change say that you want something different but it’s always the same you gotta shoot right back heart attack and start all over again and all of your money means nothing to me because a life full of riches only comes with the greed and i swear it never really meant that much to me

Sunset Eyes 03:42
her sunset eyes tend to leave me hypnotized i swear she’s in my mind in the thoughts unread and the words unsaid so tell me why it is then when i take a look and see that those pretty eyes are just a thin disguise for the shallowness beneath i need more, i need more i need more substance girl not more substances your love is feeling so immense on sustenance and the fake amends and let’s be friends you can leave them at the door cause from this day forth i’m gonna find my sorts on something more she’s looking back at me but i think it’s time for us to say goodbye the views been nice to see but i think i’ve gotta leave those sunset eyes so i packed my bags and i turned to leave and you didn’t even ask me why i was walking down the road and i looked up and sure enough the sun was setting in the sky but the pieces of our hearts don’t fit together can’t you see? yours just isn’t quite as deep and mine’s stuck feeling incomplete now it isn’t all your fault it’s mine for knowing things i shouldn’t told myself i wouldn’t so to go back now i just couldn’t i need more, i need more but when i touch your skin i can’t begin to comprehend the empty hollowness within it makes me cringe you’re made of tin and the signs are clearly there as i move further and further i swear i never meant to hurt you but some things we just can’t work through she’s looking back at me but i think it’s time for us to say goodbye the views been nice to see but i think i’ve gotta leave those sunset eyes so i packed my bags and i turned to leave and you didn’t even ask me why i was walking down the road and i looked up and sure enough the sun was setting in the sky
