Where I’m At
Parallels
Woke up lost In a world I didn’t know I shook it off and I’m trying to make a go Ever get the feeling that the story isn’t done? And you know that you are not the only one? And I know you’re out there somewhere And I know that you are well Looking for an answer But only time can tell Parallels All things being equal I’d rather not forget The things I’ve seen And the people that I’ve met But something down inside me makes me think there’s something more And I don’t have any proof, but I’m sure And I know you’re out there somewhere And I know that you are well Looking for an answer But only time can tell Parallels Woke up lost In a world I can’t escape What I’ll become Is slowly taking shape Start again is not the end but altogether new And I’m never giving up 'till I find you And I know you’re out there somewhere And I know that you are well Looking for an answer But only time can tell Parallels Parallels
Lockdown Hurricane
That wind a-blowin' It’s getting strong The rain a’fallin' Been falling too long The pressure in the clouds has changed Death rattles our window panes Honey, we’re in a lockdown hurricane They tried to warn us I didn’t care Said don’t be stupid Get out of there And now I know it’s much too late Who will discover the remains? Honey we’re in a lockdown hurricane Don’t you see it? We’re goddamn fools We always had to break the rules That wind a-blowin' It’s getting strong The rain a’fallin' Been falling too long The pressure in the house has changed Death rattles our window panes Honey, we’re in a lockdown hurricane
Agatha Chang
Agatha was beautiful Her long black hair and aching eyes Even when she didn’t feel so good she looked alright She always had a smile And it was good for a while I wouldn’t answer each time the phone rang But I should have stayed with Agatha Chang Agatha, she wasn’t mean She didn’t cheat, she never lied Even if she disagreed with you it wasn’t a fight Made you feel like you’re both right But then I lost sight I couldn’t bear to break up my old gang But I should have stayed with Agatha Chang What was so important then? I haven’t a clue How could I have been so blind and cruel? Agatha, where did you go? Do I have the slightest chance I could make up for everything that I did wrong? But I know it’s just a song And you’re probably long gone Forgot all about her Each night that I sang But I should have stayed with Agatha Chang
A Swallow in the Sun
My love, let me bring Anything your heart desires Everything you’ll ever need When you rise When you retire Sweet thing, oh my word Such a very pretty sight As a swallow in the sun As a sparrow in the night My love, can you not feel it I don’t know how to let you go on A swallow in the sun A sparrow in the night All alone Dear heart, if I may You are beauty of the earth You are broken like a glass You don’t know what you are worth My love, can you not feel it I don’t know how to let you go on A swallow in the sun A sparrow in the night All alone
Where I’m From
Three Ghosts and I, sittin' on the couch last night Catchin' up on all the time It’s been a while, since we got together and You know that it’s often on my mind So long ago, I left it in the dust, well I was so young and dumb Ran far away, but I have to admit, sometimes I miss where I’m from Let’s have a drink, to everything that we went through It wasn’t always so bad We can’t forget, each other’s company And all of the goodtimes we had So long ago, I left it in the dust, well I was so young and dumb Ran far away, but I have to admit, sometimes I miss where I’m from Three ghosts and I, sittin' on the couch last night Catchin' up on all the time It’s been a while, since we got together and You know that it’s often on my mind So long ago, I left it in the dust, well I was so young and dumb Ran far away, but I have to admit, sometimes I miss where I’m from
Series of Misunderstandings
Like a dying man who you tell You will be alright that is the sell When you know full well it isn’t true That’s what’s happened between me and you I know how you don’t want to see That bored look on my face but you see I don’t think you know how to change it Inching towards the end bit by bit It’s worth noting that it could be saved If not for the recent events A series of misunderstandings Set the course for a crash landing If I could do just one thing Set the clock back many years ago I’d teach that motherfucker that raised you How to treat you right
Kindred Spirit
She has an easy going way It doesn’t matter what you’d say I understand just what she means When she says she doesn’t care She doesn’t let it wreck her day She’s a kindred spirit She doesn’t have an act She’s got a real big heart And I gotta win it back Hard to say how much it meant The best days I’ve ever spent She understands just what I mean When I say that I don’t care She knows my true intent She’s a kindred spirit With no plan of attack She’s got a real big heart And I gotta win it back Every day I live in regret and pain You just don’t let that get away There’s a kindness that she hears She knows we’re all so full of fear She’s a kindred spirit When all fades to black She’s got a real big heart And I gotta win it back
Gentlemen’s Choice
Slept in all day In dirty sheets The stain on my shirt Been there for weeks When I was young I had a dream I would be held in high esteem I thought I’d end up a gentleman Distinguished, respected, refined The life that I’ve led It’s better unsaid The world has no use for my kind Too many years Getting my way Never let anyone Have their say How could I think it would work out? Never a question, never a doubt I thought I’d end up a gentleman Accomplished, revered and admired The life that I’ve led I’m better off dead The world has no room for my kind
Dead Reckoning
Flying through the dark Dead reckoning My gages can’t be trusted Can’t see a goddamn thing I know the day is coming That catches up with me I told you you’re no match But then who could be Thought we were the lonely type On an island of the lost But it was only me Because you got lost I can’t change you I can’t change anyone
Answers
Living lost has been the way Since the day I came along Drifting through the dead-eyed days When every turn is wrong And I knew it was the darkest road That I’d never know just how To travel on to get somewhere But I thought I’d have some answers by now Meaning to find meaning In the most meaningless of times Believing I believed in something Beyond equals in time And I opened up my heart and said This much I’ll allow All who enter welcome in And I thought I’d have some answers by now Living lost is not the way To go from here on out Attesting in the dead-eye age Is not all it’s about And I may not have that far to go I might make it somehow The brightest light may shine ahead But I thought I’d have some answers by now
Mistakes of My Youth
In the waning days ahead, I gotta look back down the road. I know that it’s not too late. All the stupid things I’ve said, and people I’ve hurt in my time. I hope it’s not my fate To keep defeating my own self, and keep repeating yesterday. I can’t keep defeating myself, I can’t keep repeating, the mistakes of my youth. In the dark of night, I might be able to make myself think that I’m still a younger man. But when the light of day shines down, there’s no way to get around it, I’m not the younger man. I keep defeating my own self, and keep repeating yesterday. I can’t keep defeating myself, I can’t keep repeating, the mistakes of my youth. The choice is mine for making a better road ahead the road that I’ve been taking, headed for a dead-end, but it’s not too late to turn around In the final moments I hope that I know that I tried to do best I could To stop defeating my own self and stop repeating yesterday. I can’t keep defeating myself, I can’t keep repeating, the mistakes of my youth.
Where I’m Going
Can’t say I know what will happen tomorrow I can’t say I know if it’s joy or sorrow I can’t say how long I’ll stand at the line that I’m towing But I’ve got a good feeling 'bout where I’m going All you see, a world so full of need And all I need is a pocket full of seeds Sunflowers shooting up to a sky that is glowing And I’ve got a good feeling 'bout where I’m going Prayed for rain, it might not come Can’t save the day, save someone I can’t say if the flowers will keep on growing But I’ve got a good feeling about where I’m going

Bow Out
A lot of what she said And much of what she did I don’t doubt that she meant well While drifting and wounded But it’s a game she plays A game I’d never win Those days aren’t coming back To change the state I’m in In the darkness I forgot that the game was all about Making up reality, and jealousy, and doubt I bow out Everything I am Or what I used to be Is not part of the hollow shell Of a man that you see All the time unsure All my days a waste Never knowing where I stood Much less which way I face In the darkness I forgot that the game was all about Making up reality, and jealousy, and doubt I bow out
A Good Deal
My plan to play it cool Has not been going well I have such a hard time Keeping the anger hidden I’ve run it through my head A dozen times or more And each time it ends with me Not acting as I did A grievous oversight that I cannot erase You couldn’t know where to take it to And none of it matters now However I appeal All of it’s gone I’ve missed a good deal You disappointed me In ways I cannot count But you were the best thing To happen to me And that is no reason to Forget all that you’ve done I couldn’t expect you to Give credence to my plea A grievous oversight that I cannot erase You couldn’t know where to take it to And none of it matters now However I may feel All of it’s gone I’ve missed a good deal An effortless beauty I had not come across It’s a heavy loss And now it’s my cross to bear forever more I can be sure And nothing else matters now Whatever I reveal All of it’s gone I’ve missed a good deal
Good Morning Bright Eyes
Good morning bright eyes How did you sleep last night? Well, I didn’t sleep so well The days are going faster No time for this disaster Well, I can’t do it anymore And I’m sure With a heavy heart I tell you this And if I don’t I’ll be remissed There’s nothing worse than living lies I need you be the leader We don’t [?] the leader This flame has stayed for all these years And I’ve kneeled We gave it a shot, now I wouldn’t to say Why don’t we just back up and call it a day There’s something out there for us both The days are going faster No time for this disaster Well, I can’t do it anymore And I’m sure Good morning bright eyes How did you sleep last night? Well, I didn’t sleep so well
