Goose
02:28
|

rutted up on memory lane
the taste of salad days always bittersweet
wandering in the back of my mind
walking the old dog days
tugging at my leg
I should forget everything I know
if only I could blur my eyes
i'd see with clarity
a wild goose i'm chasing in my head
when I could be running free
standing square in my sight
a monument of the past throwing its shadow on me
thought tumble around my mind
looking for somewhere to land
I want to start again
drunken sentiment why don't you ever stay?
throw off a couple sparks but never light the way

Behind Me Now
02:29
|
|||
chewed through the cocoon
to reveal a light
shuffling through the sky
don't bother asking why
i'm feeling easy and free
I don't feel like sighing
not here to lay the blame
or shut out the world with my little brain
what's bothered me my whole life
lost somewhere in the wake
rowing my boat from those troubled days
when I'd flood my mind with anxiety
the twinkle in my heart would drown
i'm glad its behind me now
muddled in a fog of uncertainty
I lost the part of me that could find light
i'm glad its behind me now

Balloon
02:59
|
|||
can't skim the cream off the top
I work my way thought the vine
is the faith that informs what I see
the same that's making me blind?
why's there so many ways
to confuse a mind?
looking in between
when it's sitting right on the line
tell me why
I could be counting all my money
but I aint got none
don't cost a dime to catch the wind in my sail
a better view way up here
my head in the clouds
a floating balloon thats ain't coming down
I set my sights long ago
trying to work my way through a mess
the thing that helped me see clear
was a blind spot for regret
why's there so many ways
to confuse a mind?
Looking in between
when its sitting right on the line
I guess I'll float alone
just the way it goes

Wobble
03:11
|
|||
I ready to take flight now my anchors gone
its about time
if theres a wobble in my wing
I keep pressing on
part of the ride
the efforts that been made
are barely keeping the lights on
even if its falling I just hold on
through the dive
and rely on the faith
that I burn through everyday
I know theres no net drawn to break a fall
but Im not gonna lay up late
to count the ripples in my wake
I know there's no net drawn to break a fall
I've been scratching at this itch
now the skin is raw
but i don't mind
if I have quench my thirst with an empty cup
it'll be alright
been trying my whole life
to find a way
even it's falling I just hold on
through the dive
told to ignore
and shovel the sands of time
burying this little light of mine

Still Willin'
04:47
|
|||
am I blind to dangling carrot
hanging out of my reach?
I still listen to the reason
continually eluding me
out here like a mole in the daylight
a shrub amongst the trees
I stumble up to a table
in a world where I can't compete
still willin' to try
after a losing hand I parlayed on
what am I suppose to do
when the luck I had has come and gone
Little moth getting hit by a headlight
thinking it was the sun
am I another dreamer
under an empty horizon?
Out here like a mole in the daylight
a shrub amongst the trees
I stumble up to a table
in a world where I can't compete
still willin' to try
after a losing hand I parlayed on
what am I supposed to do
when the luck I had has come and gone
what else can I do
but wait for the morning sun
what else can you do
but keep holding on

Fool
02:25
|
|||
busted at the the stem
A flower that will never bloom again
Muted and detuned
the song a little bird sings
the break of morning light
muffled by a cloud that's stuck in you
I'm hoping one of these days
You'll let that old sun shine trough
why be the fool who denies
the beauty in this life
when the glowing moonlight
will soften your stubborn eyes
ignore the morning dew
that settles on the ground surrounding you
and the buzzing little bee
circling around you
petals will unfold
some are bound fall and wilt away
you say you're living proof
that the world has always wronged you
all these things that have come and gone
don't let it set your mind to stone

Rewind
02:08
|
|||
saddle pulled
and put out to pasture
the bull who once knew the ring
awakened from a dream
teathered to a ray of the twilight
why does it take so long to realize
you can be the highest apple in the tree
then end up rotting down on the ground
rewind to a better yesterday
when the end of the line
was still so far away
butterfly with honest intentions
unclouded by the dischordant minds
trying to limit your flight
not bothered by the void of existence
it's just something you can choose to ignore
you can take yourself way up in an oak tree
or find the beauty that's laying on ground
I'll take your lead
float with the wind that comes my way
done with living for
better yesterday
chaffing the truth of the world
with the needs in my mind
while my heart's always aligned

Pile
03:20
|
|||
whittling out a life
from a branch of incident
that sprouted up one day
now it's all I know
such little time to watch it grow
little bird of youth
I watched you fly away
each time you return
I with for longer you'd stay
maybe you'd nest again one day
I'd trade the wisdom that comes with age
for the blindness of an innocent mind
bend or break
when the trouble piles on
gotta find me a way
to keep from wearing out
it's difficult to find
the beauty in your life
when a thought bent in your head
throws a shadow on light
hiding the spark that gives you light
if I could retrace my steps
find out where I went astray
unload the garbage in my mind picked up along the way
maybe it would set me free one day

Untied
02:07
|
|||
why am I keeping the old gear grinding
when the puddle's been pumped dry
dip my head in a bubble brook
to rinse the rust out of my eyes
tangled up with an anxious mind
when all I want is the knot untied
cuz there ain't a prettier sight
than strolling the backroad
of an empty mind
why was this missing from my life?
trail burned by zigzag logic
and paved by a confused mind
I'll ride the wind of a robbin's song
cuz all the talk is pummeling
tangled up with an anxious mind
when all I want is the knot untied
cuz there ain't a prettier sight
strolling the backroad
of an empty mind
why was this missing from my life?

Happiness
03:48
|

a little bad advice you took to heart
went a long way
now half the day is spent
convincing yourself it will be ok
one day you'll rise with the sun
without the guilt of yesterday
and when the happiness returns
it won't be something so easily frayed
flickering light, may you glow steady with time
since your orbit derailed
you've been out here waiting
for a satellite to come along
maybe a star worth wishing on
maybe you've faded
fizzled out a long time ago
shake the ash from a burning coal
