Resolution

I finally made my resolution
Gonna find me a place out on the road
I finally came to a conclusion
Gonna take the good and leave the load
I’m ready to go
I’ve counted all my fingers and toes
I tell you, I’m ready to leave
With the moon at my back
Gonna take the best parts of me
I finally made my resolution
There’s a shining light out there for me to hold
I finally came to a solution
It starts with me and ends with the road
I’m ready to go
I’ve counted all my fingers and toes
I tell you, I’m ready to leave
With the moon at my back
Gonna take the best parts of me
Sharp tongues
Restless ones
Long runs
Oh singing I’m done
If you don’t know
What I’m talkin’ about
There’s no doubt
Singing I’m out
Sharp tongues
Restless ones
Long runs
Oh singing I’m done
If you don’t know
What I’m talkin’ about
There’s no doubt
Singing I’m out
I’m ready to go
I’ve counted all my fingers and toes
I tell you, I’m ready to leave
With the moon at my back
Gonna take the best parts of me
With the moon at my back
Gonna take the best parts of me

Holding my tongue
Until we can say we’re done
Biding our time
Tracing our arrows
For who’s sake? I don’t know
It sure ain’t my own
Oh I promised you
We’d make it through
But we’ve got cards to different games
You believed in me
You and me and the sun made three
But these runarounds are quite a shame
There’s no telling what I would do
To change the story, change the tune
But I ain’t no storymaker
I’m a teller, and that’s the truth
No I ain’t no storymaker
I’m a teller, and that’s the truth
Follow your star
And I will follow mine
Just don’t stray too far
I’ll never forget
The sound of a closing door
Never heard that sound before
Oh I promised you
We’d make it through
But we’ve got cards to different games
You believed in me
You and me and the sun made three
But these runarounds are quite a shame
There’s no telling what I would do
To change the story, change the tune
But I ain’t no storymaker
I’m a teller and that’s the truth
No I ain’t no storymaker
I’m a teller and that’s the truth
Who
Writes your story better than
You
Can say the words and know where all the
Truth
Lies within in what have we come to
Oh I promised you
We’d make it through
But we’ve got cards to different games
You believed in me
You and me and the sun made three
But these runarounds are quite a shame
There’s no telling what I would do
To change the story, change the tune
But I ain’t no storymaker
Ain’t no storymaker
Ain’t no storymaker
No I ain’t no storymaker
I’m a teller and that’s the truth

Street Sweeper

Street sweeper
Don’t bother coming yonder down the road
Legend keeper
The books got something they can no longer hold
Wise teacher
There’s no one in these parts to take it in
Kind people
Some things can’t be fixed with a smile
How come these wheels are turning
But there is no change?
How come these years are burning
But no wiser we gain?
All these things we ‘ought to be learning
Are a source of shame
Might as well turn to stone
High diver
There’s something ‘bout the color of our water
Plane flyer
Watch out for the heaviness of the air
Filthy liars
Gather ‘round we’ll find a place for you in town square
Bus driver
The next stop is many miles away from here
How come these wheels are turning
But there is no change?
How come these years are burning
But no wiser we gain?
All these things we ‘ought to be learning
Are a source of shame
Might as well turn to stone
Fast away the pages of this book
Gone away sunshine has all been took
Take away a map a chance to look
At the way
We’re living half the lives of what we should
How come these wheels are turning
But there is no change?
How come these years are burning
But no wiser we gain?
All these things we ‘ought to be learning
Are a source of shame
Might as well turn to
Might as well turn to
Might as well turn to
Stone

What's Left When
03:07
|
|||
People go crazy for money
So when I offered you an out you went insane
At the first shot of so-called freedom
You simply caved and leapt on that train
Tainted waters
Where do you draw the line?
What do you consider fine?
Now that you’ve got her
You’ll use her at no end
How many rules you gotta bend?
What’s left when?
What’s left when?
Humanity itself
Has been bought
Has been bought
Has been bought
A thread in a sea of patterns
Impossible to find, so secure
As I search for some worth that’s not tangible
It takes a heart that’s been riddled with stones
Tainted waters
Where do you draw the line?
What do you consider fine?
Now that you’ve got her
You’ll use her at no end
How many rules you gotta bend?
What’s left when?
What’s left when?
Humanity itself
Has been bought
Has been bought
Has been bought
Has been bought
Has been bought

Hands Up
04:52
|
|||
Two months on and two months off
There are no signs, that this will stop
A sinking spell, no time to waste
Always looking left, avoid mistakes
This time, all on, the line
The river cuts right through my soul
Years of highs and deadly lows
Sadly smiling, gentle blow
Endless years and time to go
I stay, my way, no way
Daylight’s fading
There’s no debating
That I’ve spent too much time
In this lie
I’m in, I’m caught, hands up, let’s talk
I walk around with bills to pay
My middle name is washed away
I got no children to carry me on
As I play my part, new city, new con
It’s on, I’m gone, too long
Daylight’s fading
There’s no debating
That I’ve spent too much time
In this lie
I’m in, I’m caught, hands up, let’s talk
My mother thinks I’m crazy
All these happenings and maybe’s
My father thinks I’ve gone too far
But he doesn’t know half the things
I’ve burned in tar
In my name, forever, a guessing game
Oh now I walk around with bills to pay
My middle name is washed away
Got no children to carry me on
As I play my part, new city, new con
It’s on, too long, I’m gone
Daylight’s fading
There’s no debating
That I’ve spent too much time
In this lie
I’m in, I’m caught, hands up, let’s talk
I’m in, I’m caught, hands up, let’s talk
I’m in, I’m caught, hands up, let’s talk

Fool's Gold
04:10
|
|||
I got something on my mind
How come your years are wrapped in clover
And all that’s come of mine
Are dandelions
All that’s come of mine
Are yesterday’s fools gold
All that’s come of my
Back breaking
Heart aching
Day in and day out
My daily bread
All that’s come of mine
Singin backlit broken window
Can feel the weight in my bones
Left my heart out on the stage
Years of going against this grain
With all that I’ve done is this
All that’s come of mine
My disheveled heart
Was it hopeless at the start?
The stars are never aligned
All that’s come of mine
My hit and miss
My wanderless
Got twice the goods
Who paid for this?
My bleeding hands
Is all that’s come of mine
Backlit broken window
Can feel the weight in my bones
Left my heart out on the stage
Years of going against this grain
With all that I’ve done is this
All that’s come of mine
All that’s come of mine
Backlit broken window
Can feel the weight in my bones
Left my heart out on the stage
Years of going against this grain
With all that I’ve done is this
All that’s come of mine

Ghost Chair
02:52
|

The perfect place to waste some time
Is a pinball store with a bucket of dimes
And afterwards you spend your heart
Driving by something you couldn't be a part of
But here you are wasting your time
In that part of town just to get a glimpse of her life
You’re looking through the window
Wishing you were in there
Trying hard to picture
Something that isn’t there
Would she remember
You in your current state of affairs
Married and has two great kids
Is what you fabricated in your head
She probably bikes to work and plays guitar
You heard music when she left the door ajar
You couldn’t say for sure but she’s doing fine
Without a guy like you hanging ‘round all the time
Looking through the window
Wishing you were in there
Trying hard to picture
Something that isn’t there
Would she remember
You in your current state of affairs
Would she remember
Something that isn’t there
Like a pillow
Sitting on a ghost’s chair
Would she recall
A memory out of thin air
Oh he remembers something that isn’t there
You’re looking through the window
Wishing you were in there
Trying hard to picture
Something that isn’t there
Would she remember
You in your current state of affairs
He remembers something out of thin air

Feel What I Feel
04:01

I ain’t got no one to lean on
I ain’t got no silver steel
I ain’t got no light to leave on
No one can feel what I feel
I prayed for rain
To wash away all this pain
For months on end I wrote letters
Hoping that somebody would be better
I guess what I found
I guess what I found
When people come around
It’s the same old sounds
I ain’t got no one to lean on
I ain’t got no silver steel
I ain’t got no light to leave on
No one can feel what I feel
Feel what I feel
Feel what I feel
Feel what I feel
Feel what I
I looked up to the lighthouse
But it don’t shine for me on my way out
If this life is a game
How come everybody don’t start the same
I guess what I’ve found
I guess what I’ve found
When people come around
It’s the same old sounds
I ain’t got no one to lean on
I ain’t got to silver steel
I ain’t got no light to leave on
No one can feel what I feel
Feel what I feel
Feel what I feel
Feel what I feel
Feel what I feel
Feel what I feel
Feel what I feel
I ain’t got no one to lean on
I ain’t got to silver steel
I ain’t got no light to leave on
No one can feel what I feel
Feel what I feel
Feel what I feel
No one can feel what I feel
Feel what I feel
Feel what I feel
I ain’t got no light to leave on
No one can feel what I
Feel

Sun Hasn't Shone
05:09
|

Standing on this roof
Looking over the town I grew up in
And it looks a little bit lonely
I don’t recognize these streets anymore
But the feeling’s familiar
But then again I don’t know it at all
It seems as though nowadays
Maybe I
Maybe I am the stranger
Stepping stones and
Missing bones
Tell me where the sun hasn’t shone
There’s an aching in my chest
And it’s the only thing I seem to have left and I
Want my hope to stay strong
So please don’t fail me now
If I could be a bird
I’d fly south before it gets cold
It seems as though nowadays
There’s a haze
Across the surface of the standstill water
Stepping stones and
Missing bones
Tell me where the sun hasn’t shone
There’s an aching in my chest
And it’s the only thing I seem to have left and I
Want my hope to stay strong
So please don’t fail me now
The middle of the winter
And singing I can’t find you in the cold
How can I get to you?
When it’s the sun that illuminates your soul
But I can’t find no sunlight
Anywhere at all
Anywhere at all
Stepping stones and
Missing bones
Tell me where the sun has not shone
There’s an aching in my chest
And it’s the only thing I seem to have left and I
Want my hope to stay strong
So please don’t fail me now
Please don’t fail me now
Hope don’t fail me

Lights On

The emptiness of coffee cups, refills are a dime
Without him she can only see the pointlessness of time
Refills are only a dime
But she’d rather not wait in line
The thought it doesn’t scare her just prepares her for the ride
Remember what tomorrow gets to borrow gets to hide
The end of her story ain’t the end of her life
Won’t you keep the lights on inside
Won’t you keep the lights on inside
Papers piled up by the door, no one seems to mind
The neighbors don’t come ‘round no more, barely worth the time
Papers by the door
She doesn’t want to read them anymore
The thought it doesn’t scare her just prepares her for the ride
Remember what tomorrow gets to borrow gets to hide
The end of her story ain’t the end of her life
Won’t you keep the lights on inside
Won’t you keep the lights on inside
The thought it doesn’t scare her just prepares her for the ride
Remember what tomorrow gets to borrow gets to hide
The end of her story ain’t the end of her life
Won’t you keep the lights on inside
Won’t you keep the lights on inside
Won’t you keep the lights on inside
