“pile of bones” first you let her know that youd never regret her but when you gotta forget her you just gotta fuckin forget her couldn’t say it in style walked away without a smile with your hands in your pockets and your head in denial will this sickness stick around until all your days are gone will these feelings ever change and when will you know if you were wrong you can bet your bottom dollar that the next time you call her all the strength you thought you had wont be there for you to swallow whoah oh whoah oh-ooooh yea we’re all just a pile of bones anyway whoah oh-oh yea we’re all just a pile of bo uh-oh uh-oh oh uh-oh uh-oh oh uh-oh uh-ones all just a pile of bones anyway whoah uh-oh yea we’re all just a pile of bones …in the sand.whos the god in your hand whos your god, whos your friend? and who do you pretend will pick you up when youre down? and turn it all around? ive seen the face of denial with a big fuckin smile and again and again til the point is within when everything and anything you do is considered a sin and the ghosts linger on and they all know your name because you get a little closer with each passing day oh yea… woke up to a setting sun my first in a while with my head in the clouds and my brain on a trial with itself for things that I could think but I couldn’t ever say out loud cause no one would keep me if I talked this way and when all is said and done and everything has moved along I think I think Ill think about you every time I sing this song with a distant yesterday spark deep within my eye and a feeling that youre feeling all the feelings I describe when you say

Down & Out 04:12
down and out” I used to feel the pain you feel But a bit of age killed my teenage angst And through the years I have found Up is good But its oh so nice to be down and out I don’t look back I don’t recall many things that much at all ive come undone ive been unglued lots of times its nothing new Life gets easy when you learn you wont change the world I don’t mind the sun sometimes And I can stand the rain It’s easy livin’ If the sun don’t shine And the birds don’t sing Then we’d all go insane Its easy livin’ Sometimes youre right Sometimes youre wrong It doesn’t matter that much at all I will or wont do anything words to live by don’t you think I get low when im not burnin’ at both ends I come up slow in an effort to avoid the bends And im not going down for complacency Do or die. Its aself-fulfilling prophecy

“when it all went down” this heres an atom bomb ive been holding it all along when its set to blow then ill let you know but until then youre alright another summer has come and gone life keeps movin’ on we’re all living a lie and ive got to try to find where I belong these little thoughts of mine I keep singing in and out of time hopin’ the next word will make the rest heard and make my whole life rhyme where did I go wrong when it all went down I thought I turned out right but then I hit the ground these times are tougher now ive been living but living without how long can it go until I explode from following the sound cause ive got to find a way ive been getting higher everyday but chasin the sun’s no longer the fun that we all used say
4.
Gift Horse 03:48
how I wish I could find a little sadness how divine a little sadness for my mind solves the problem everytime but little sadness I cant find I cant find you this time this is my awakening from everything and I, I don’t think ill ever get there looked a gift horse in the mouth count the teeth but time runs out it’s a dream but its devout every time the same thing goes needing wants til they explode needing wants I cant forego
5.
watch out the radio is taking the sparkle out of rock and roll mindless rhetoric music with no pride the kids are lacking in their own originality because of your clichés and overkills don’t wait for me to come around theres nothing new here. nothing that you haven’t heard before except the words are dumber this time round trendy posers return your blazers and your girl jeans ‘cause you know that they don’t fit you anyway so whats it all about
6.
the good die young I know this learned it again today every time I forget someone good passes away its quiet in this town on this solemn night and its quite deserving …… theres never a good time to say goodbye forever theres never a good day to bury a friend a toast to you j carson taken too soon away
7.
tired of lonely tired of crazy and wanting more than ive got toss back another whatever your pleasure ignoring all the things that ive not my times over now my times cutting backwards I cant be the one the one youre running after killing the pain now and feeling it later enjoy everything now ‘cause endings are bitter no matter how you swallow them down still rolling down a lonely road where I end up no one will know time hold me now ill ask you a favor ill ask you a question make it truth ill follow your lead
