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
2.
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
3.
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
5.
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
7.
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
8.
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
9.
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?
10.
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
