Don't Say What You Mean

WELL YOU DON’T SAY WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME
WE SPEAK BUT WE DON’T TALK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE SAID TO EACH OTHER
THOUGHTS DON’T COUNT WELL I CAN’T READ YOUR MIND ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES I THINK THAT I CAN
THESE THINGS THAT TEAR AT THE BONDS GIVE ME A SHAKY FEELING INSIDE
YOU DON’T LISTEN
YOU DON’T LISTEN
YOU DON’T LISTEN
YOU DON’T LISTEN TO YOURSELF WHEN YOU AND I TALK
YOU AND ME AND THEM
WELL WE CAN GET ALONG, YEAH
WE CAN PULL IT THROUGH IF WE TRY
BUT A LITTLE TRUTH WOULDN’T HURT ALONG THE WAY
WHY DO I HAVE TO ASK MYSELF THESE QUESTIONS CAN YOU TELL ME?
NOONE SAID IT WAS GOING TO BE EASY OR POSSIBLE WHY DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT?

Ever After Now
04:43
|

There you go, silently dressed, one last cigarette.
Out the door, leaving for the last time once again.
“Are you coming back?” lingers in my mind as I drift to sleep.
Does it matter anyhow?
Are you the one, meaning more than anyone did?
Could you find the time, for lasting longer than it takes for that?
“You’re not coming back,” lingers in my mind as I drift to sleep.
Does it matter anyhow?
Who’s gonna feed the light in your eyes?
Who’s gonna be there when you cry?
Who’s gonna feed the light in your eyes…
…and be for you like I am?
Days are slow, my mind and I ain’t getting on too well.
The story’s told/played repeatedly- you leave again.
“Are you coming back?” Liquor’s in my mind as I drift to sleep.
Does it matter anyhow?
Who’s gonna feed the light in your eyes?
Who’s gonna be there when you cry?
Who’s gonna feed the light in your eyes…
…and be for you like I am?
Never admit I’m wrong. Never be weak, be strong.
‘Never be happy’ tells the tale.
Never be full of shit. Two sides to all of it.
How’s the ‘ever after’ now?
Who’s gonna feed the light in your eyes?
Who’s gonna be there when you cry?
Who’s gonna feed the light in your eyes…
…and be for you like I am?

Favorite One Now

YOU ARE MY FAVORITE ONE NOW AND I KNOW YOUR SECRETS AND HOW
WITH EYES OF BLUE AND HAIR OF GOLD (A GIRL SO FINE WITH AN AIR SO BOLD)
SHE’S UNIQUE AND I AM SOLD (ON THE THOUGHT OF GROWING OLD)
YOU ARE MY FAVORITE ONE NOW AND I KNOW YOUR SECRETS AND HOW
TODAY’S THE DAY IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN (IF IT WERE ME INSTEAD OF HIM)
BUT IT’S NOT IT’S NOT DONE YET (YOU’LL BE MINE TO HOLD)
I THINK OF WAYS TO DO IT CAN’T SEEM TO EVER GET THROUGH IT
WHEN YOU’RE AROUND
STILL THE PLANS GO FORWARD AND GOOD GO BAD I KNOW IT
WHEN YOU’RE AROUND
HOPE IS ALWAYS ETERNAL ANOTHER LAST TRY JOURNALED
WHEN YOU’RE AROUND WHEN YOU’RE AROUND
YOU ARE MY FAVORITE ONE NOW AND I KNOW YOUR SECRETS AND HOW
THE TIME IS GONE IT’S TIME YOU KNEW (THE CRAZY THINGS YOU MADE ME DO)
TO GET ATTENTION JUST A FEW (YES I AM ALIVE)
YOU ARE MY FAVORITE ONE NOW AND I KNOW YOUR SECRETS AND HOW

For The Best

Eyes are down away from me as we part company
It’s just a bit of history
Cause you don’t care
There may be pain I may be sorry ,I don’t know
Time’s a bitch ‘cause you just can’t slow it down
It’s for the best they always say
Lacking a better way
Been done before some by myself, when I don’t care
It seems to hurt more when you say it, I don’t know
The damn clock’s hands seem to always knock me down
I don’t know why it happened now
But it’s so, you’re not foolin’ around
Ah, but when I see you I can’t say a thing
It’s not enough to feel you showed me that

Happened
04:06

before there was thought
there was something
that no one saw fit
to explain to the world
just what it meant
to be part of it all
that one missing piece
of the puzzle
could it all
just happen to be
the sounds that are around
could be something to see
some call it fate
or dumb luck
others don’t give a damn
you can tell who is who
by the way that they stand
for the few there’s a sparkle
and a brightness alive
that shines through all the time
did it
happen to be
the sounds that are around
could be something to see
a circling ‘round and ‘round
just looking for the start
but in the end
it’s just looking for a cause
for the power to be
now seems damn clear
to see

You said that it was fun.
Knock about all the questions…answers: none.
Reality set in when we realized it’s not a game we played.
Maybe no one’s hurt.
Confession’s great at times.
Grating on minds & senses after all these years.
Did it make you feel better, did it make you feel much worse?
Letting it all hang out at last.
Like a Jackass of all Trades, now-
done ‘em all, but a master of none.
Couldn’t finish what was started-
hit a nerve and the damage done.
It’s your voice on the phone,
calling up times & places that
seem much better the second time around.
Gone are all the frowns…
faded in time, just leaving hazy memories.
Had to move along.
Strong is just a lie.
Did it make you feel better when you made me feel much worse?
May be no one’s hurt…
Like a Jackass of all Trades, now-
done ‘em all, but a master of none.
Couldn’t finish what was started-
hit a nerve and the damage done.

A better man than I had tumbled to the ground,
had enough of killing himself in this dirty, tired town.
The light’s too bright for seeing a thing when you’re reaching for the stars,
so you go while your friends are still hanging out in bars
A million miles it might as well be, colder than you thought.
See the ice when the river freezes and seasons run their course.
At night, stars still shine their light on
you
are still on our minds wherever
you
are.
Picking up the pieces that the distance broke apart,
finding things about yourself that you thought you’d lost before.
Balls of steel to do it, and you’re going all the way
to the land of ‘Do You Remember’ and ‘Seeing Mary’s Smile’.
Did some Stinson pump your gas? Are they still mourning Prince?
All washed up, nowhere to go but they make a home of it.
At night, stars still shine their light on
you
are still on our minds wherever
you
are.
At night, stars still shine their light on
you
are still on our minds wherever
you
are.

SHE SAID THAT SHE WAS LOOKING FOR A MAN THAT WASN’T SPOKEN FOR
AS SHE LOOKED HIM IN THE EYE AND SAID “… LEAST NOT FOR TONIGHT”
IN THE PACKED DOWNTOWN SHE SETTLED IN TO THE PLACE THAT WAS ALWAYS HAPPENING
WITH THE SMILING FACES LYING EYES ALL CROWDING ‘ROUND THE BAR
AND THEN SHE SAID THAT SHE WAS PASSING THROUGH
A TIME THAT ONCE WAS ME AND YOU
TILL HE TOLD HER THAT HE WASN’T STRONG AND SAID YOU NEVER WOULD BE MINE
AND THEN SHE SAID THAT SHE’D BE FINE WITH IT
SHE CRIED AND THEN DENIED IN IT
SMILING FACES LYING EYES I CAN REGRET IT LATER ON (LATER ON)
SHE THOUGHT HE HAD KIND EYES AS HE WALKED WITH A HITCH IN HIS STEP
WONDER WHAT HE’S DOING HERE ALONE ON A RAINY NIGHT
HE’S CALLING OFF HIS JEALOUSIES HAD ENOUGH OF YOU AND ME’s
TIME TO FACE THE BITTER TRUTH I’LL BE BETTER OFF TONIGHT
AND THEN HE SAID HE WAS PASSING THROUGH
A TIME THAT ONCE WAS ME AND YOU
TILL SHE TOLD HIM THAT HE WASN’T STRONG AND THAT SHE NEVER WOULD BELONG
AND THEN HE SAID HE’D BE FINE WITH IT
HE LIED AND THEN DENIED IN IT
SMILING FACES LYING EYES I WON’T REGRET IT LATER ON (LATER ON)
AND THEN THEY BOTH SAID THEY’D BE FINE WITH IT
A TRUTH THERE’S NO DENYING IT
THEY TOLD EACH OTHER THEY’D BE STRONG AT LEAST JUST FOR TONIGHT
BUT THEY CAN BOTH SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING
AS THEY CLOSE THEIR EYES AROUND THIS THING
SMILING FACES LYING EYES THEY CAN REGRET IT LATER ON (LATER ON)

Nothing At All

WHAT I NEED YOU CAN’T SUPPLY
THIS ONE’S YOURS AND THAT ONE’S MINE
I CAN’T FEEL A GOD DAMNED THING AT ALL
‘CAUSE MY HEAD HURTS AND MY FINGERS DON’T WORK
MY FRIENDS ALL TELL ME THAT I’M GOING BERSERK
BUT THAT DON’T MATTER THAT DON’T MATTER AT ALL
NO – NOTHING YOU SAY NOTHING YOU FEEL NOTHING AT ALL
NO – NOTHING YOU SAY NOTHING YOU FEEL NOTHING AT ALL
CAN MAKE IT OK SOUNDS TO BE HEARD TODAY
CAN MAKE IT OK, CAN MAKE IT OK
WELL, WE DON’T NEED NO SYMPATHY AND WE DON’T NEED NO QUESTIONS
ALL WE NEED’S A BEAT TO BACK US UP ‘CAUSE THE TUNES THERE OF BRIDGES AND BREAKS
ALL FALL TOGETHER INTO ONE BIG MISTAKE WELL THAT DON’T MATTER THAT DON’T MATTER AT ALL
TO MISS ON SOMETHING UP DON’T TAKE MUCH EFFORT TO FALL
WELL IT’S HARD TO CATCH IT RIGHT BUT WHEN YOU DO IT’S WORTH IT ALL
AND HAVE SOME FUN ALONG THE WAY AND ALSO THOUGHTS OF YESTERDAY

That I Know

The world takes a turn to another day
The sun’s in the sky, kinda low
I said, hey, that’s how it’ll be
The world’s gotta turn and that I know
And you walk away as you let it go
As you look that way, well that I know
Well now we have some verbal play
I realize the impatience of my ways
I should have known, shoulda been true
now I’m longing and I cling to you
And you walk away as you let it go
As you look that way, well that I know
Now it’s late I cannot stay
I gotta leave I gotta go
She said, fine, that’s how it’ll be
And I said sure and now I know
And you walk away as you let it go
As you look that way, well that I know

The Evil That Men Do

CLOUDY THIS MORNING I COULDN’T SAY WHY THESE FEELINGS MADE ME LAY AWAKE THINKING ABOUT YOU
YOU SHOULDN’T BE UP IN MY HEAD, THOUGHTS AND DREAMS I HAD INSTEAD DON’T HELP IF YOU ONLY KNEW
CAUGHT UP IN THE LIES WE WEAVE JUST ANOTHER TO DECEIVE MYSELF AND MAYBE REALLY YOU
YOU SAY WE CAN’T GO ON THERE IS NO POINT ANOTHER SACRAMENT ANNOINTS THE TRUTH IF THEY ONLY KNEW
BUT I LIVE THE LIFE I’M BOUND TO LIVE ALL MY SECRETS CAN’T RESIST THE SMILES I HAVE WHEN I SEE YOU
WITH BROKEN WINDOWS ALL AROUND SEE THE PANIC COMING DOWN INTO THE EVIL THAT MEN DO
I CAN THINK THAT IT’S NOT MY FAULT, ANOTHER LESSON WENT UNTAUGHT AGAIN AND NOW THE PIPER’S DUE
TO PAY THE PRICE IT WASN’T RIGHT ANOTHER FIGHT OR SLEEPLESS NIGHT WITH YOU TO TRUTH IS ALL IN VIEW
BUT I LIVE THE LIFE I’M BOUND TO LIVE ALL MY SECRETS CAN’T RESIST THE SMILES I HAVE WHEN I SEE YOU
WITH BROKEN WINDOWS ALL AROUND SEE THE PANIC COMING DOWN INTO THE EVIL THAT MEN DO

Trial By Fire
04:04
|

|
I didn’t want to do it ------I didn’t want to go
You said you had these feelings ---- But couldn’t let them show
I know there’s Trial by Fire --- Didn’t think I’d burn
Like a kiddie with a candle ---So quickly did I learn
That a woman’s like a flame that burns you when she’s hot
And tells you truthful stories although you know they’re not
Makes you beg and moan down on your hands and knees
Wondering like a fool until you think she’s pleased
I really loved you, I know that now
I really loved you, but it ain’t worth a damn
Gotta fight these feelings --- Keep’em all away
It’s too late to call you --- Survived another day
Yeah I might be lonely --- On my way to worse
But will you make it better --- With lines so well-rehearsed
So why oh why do I feel this way
I’m better without you I tell myself every day
But, parting is sorrow
Still you just couldn’t wait
Now it ain’t worth a damn
