Puzzled

My heart can't take much more of this thunder
It burns a hole in me I can't escape
I cry out to the heavens, please send guidance
cause I've run out of ways to outrun the rain
And I know I should feel grateful
I know I should feel blessed
Cause everyday that we're given
Should put hope in our chest
and it weighs heavy on me, there's an emptiness inside
O I wish my mind would just
Stop for a while
Everyday's a new dawn waiting
so why am I just in the dark
More clouds and fog falling, I feel
I'll fall again
Push myself up , Push myself up
And I know I should feel grateful
I know I should feel blessed
Cause everyday that we're given
Should put hope in our chest
and it weighs heavy on me, there's an emptiness inside
O I wish my mind would just
Stop for a while
Don't get cross or get lost
when your on the brink, don't toss in the sink
Just take a look around turn back around

The Invisible Man
03:40
|

Old man rests his head on a brick
stares at the sky and sighs
When will they go away?
When will he want to rise and face the day?
Same shirt, holes in his soles, worn down for miles
Many roads, many just trying to survive
Brace for impact, walls are closing in
Heart beats louder, aren't you listening?
Please don't move, please don't move,
please don't move me now
Brace for impact, walls are closing in
Heart beats louder, aren't you listening?
Please don't move, please don't move,
please don't move me now
Coffee black as tar, walk out the building
wind chill feels like zero, he ain't got no feeling
but some tunes from his favorite songs
runs through his head as he shuffles along
Brace for impact, walls are closing in
Heart beats louder, aren't you listening?
Please don't move, please don't move,
please don't move me now
Brace for impact, walls are closing in
Heart beats louder, aren't you listening?
Please don't move, please don't move,
please don't move me now
He falls to the ground
There's no one to be found
Just the part of someone else's story, not the focus
Old man rests back down on his brick
stares at the sky and dies
No one mourns or cries or sends flowers to his wake
Just another person that walked the interstate
Brace for impact, walls are closing in
Heart beats louder, aren't you listening?
Please don't move, please don't move,
please don't move me now
Brace for impact, walls are closing in
Heart beats louder, aren't you listening?
Please don't move, please don't move,
please don't move me now

Built To Last
03:45

Waving through a 2nd story
feels a little cold today
took your hand and it made me warmer
autumn wind it blows my way
Catch a glance of all the glitter
shimmer in the sun's delight
gutter balls and ice cream parlors
may be in our plans tonight
But in this moment
I want time to just stand still
When you're with me and you smile
the road stretches for miles
even through the tough stuff in our past
We were built to last
Days go by and still I wait
any times to long away
but if I can just stay patient
won't by long til the holidays
You always show up by surprise
catch me off guard
and when you whispered "I love you"
I looked in your eyes and knew
In this moment
I want time to just stand still
When you're with me and you smile
the road stretches for miles
even through the tough stuff in our past
We were built to last

The Lake

Jigsaw Puzzle Pieces form the album of my life
Country roads a calling & moon lite starry nights
Up early on Saturday, Sit up in my bed
Grab a cup of Joe, then I'm out the door
And head out for the lake
Sunny Skies and fishing lines sound mighty
Fine and I'm in another world out on a boat
And sailing cross the sky
And I need a tow to come to shore, please
Cast a cord out on the water so pure
My oasis, please call me back once more
Portraits of summers past and memories of fall
Serene beauty all around me.
I just bout have it all
Sitting in the Stern with a cold one in hand
And the Sun on my back
I take a look up, and feel the rush of
the wind blowing past
Sunny Skies and fishing lines sound mighty
Fine and I'm in another world out on a boat
And sailing cross the sky
And I need a tow to come to shore, please
Cast a cord out on the water so pure
My oasis, please call me back once more

Butterflies Inside
04:13
|

|
Why did I turn down that road
When will the path become known to me?
I think I need some sleep
Higher and higher I climb
But still stuck
Looking up above am I enough
Hopefully I do for you
Show me how to survive
Show me how to survive
Inside I'm so empty
But filled with butterflies
my courage fades to grey
and worries me somedays
why can't, why can't I feel
that this could be real, so much for June
made me such a fool, for you
Show me how to survive
Show me how to survive

The Clouds

I wonder what you'd have thought about this year
I'd loved to have picked your brain & talk off your ear
So little time did we get
Wish you'd been here, year after year
Swept away all the pain
but I still move along and pray upon
The time that we had seems too bad it had to stop
But at least I pray you look down from above
on the wings of a dove
Know I'm doing my best
I sing out to the clouds for the rest
I still think back on that last encounter that we had
wish I could remember that
But it seems the years been blue carried right out that back door
Swept away all the pain
but I still move along and pray upon
The time that we had seems too bad it had to stop
But at least I pray you look down from above
on the wings of a dove
Know I'm doing my best
I sing out to the clouds for the rest
Build Lego castles to the stars
let's send Barbie from Malibu to Mars

Ferris Wheel
03:44
|

|
Summer rains came and took my blues away
Summer highs came and took me by surprise
and I talked to you all night about nothin'
til the sun touched the sky, my oh my
And you hold me in your arms
and you told me don't be alarmed
but I'm crazy for you
and I hope you - you feel the same way too
Fall rolls on and we're still standing tall
winds blow but safe, just don't let go
as we talk up to the ferris wheel
I look up and say, "What a thrill"
And you hold me in your arms
and you told me don't be alarmed
but I'm crazy for you
and I hope you - you feel the same way too
Winter chill gets colder
But our hearts can melt away the ice
Spring's just around the corner
and the birds are singing high in the sky
So am I

Coffee Cup

Pass the coffee, keep the nerves
I feel out of notes but somehow full
Battle own, guard down, keep the change
Fight the noises in my brain ( repeat)
Chorus :
Feed the flame/ gradually, I'll stand up
It's complicated
complicated
Feed the darkness / gradually, I'll Stand
It's complicated
Complicated
Wipe the tables , make the change
try to smile at everything
Small talk, no talk, nothing more
Fight the noises but it seems to encore

Rock On
03:53

Too soon
Barely got the chance to say, "hello"
Words fail to truly measure up
to what's the right thing to even say
You know you feel it
but don't wanna believe it
So rock on forever more
See you yonder on that golden shore
meet up later for a jam and beer
Boy, we all miss you round here
Thank you for the music
seems too little, but no other thoughts come out
Just grateful for even one chance
to hear you rock the house down
So rock on forever more
See you yonder on that golden shore
meet up later for a jam and beer
Boy, we all miss you round here
Just don't seem right
seems like just yesterday
was watching you on stage
blowing us away

Maybe Next Year
03:21

This year's plans went out the window
Thought I'd get further, went and stubbed my toe
Feelin' out of sorts staring out the back door, now
all the dominos are falling to the floor
Wander down the hallway, wander in the yard
wonder when I'll get back to the boulevard
Days go on and on they go
Where we stop, who's to know
Maybe next year, I'll get back in the game
Maybe next year, we'll think back on what we overcame
Maybe next year, I'll be there in the room
I hope next year we'll finally figure out just what to do
I cover pain, I cover up scars, I cover up today to make it to tomorrow
At night it seems the dawn has come
When have I seen anyone?
Wander in the kitchen, wander in my dreams,
wonder when the darkness can be lifted clean.
Days go on and on they go
Where we stop, who's to know
Maybe next year, I'll get back in the game
Maybe next year, we'll think back on what we overcame
Maybe next year, I'll be there in the room
I hope next year we'll finally figure out just what to do
Wandering through the field of my mind
I stare up above
I think on what may be next
What's next for us?
What's next for us?

I Think It's Gonna Rain
03:37
|

There was a boy who was lookin for trouble one day
The need for a needle carved the only way
The family was the easy path he saw
He took his father by the neck and put him to the wall
With the money in his hand, was it worth the pain?
Gettin that feeling, yeah, I think it’s gonna rain
His dad still loved him even with the scars
His baby boy still had a good heart
But the love in his home just wasn’t enough
It was a losing battle that he wouldn’t give up
The state of their love was a broken train
Can’t fix it right now, cause I think it’s gonna rain
When the water falls, there will be… no return
There’s fire in the water, it’s a Blaze… let it burn
His dad had a friend who knew wrong from right
The boy showed up - he was looking for a fight
The friend stood his ground and told him to go home
He wasn’t leaving that dad and boy alone
The boy pulled a gun and the friend did say
“There’s a storm coming in, yeah, I think it’s gonna rain”
It only took one shot and then the friend knew
He walked out and fell on the avenue
He was alone looking up while the coward boy fled
“Please don’t let me die now” was all he said
The clouds fell thick over the long red lane
It’s clear to me, yeah, I think it’s gonna rain
