Tell me if there’s something more than this. Is there something here to believe? Everybody’s running in circles now Just to escape their reality. I know I’ve done a little cloudy time where I took my eye off the road I’m feeling like I’m back in focus now but I don’t like where I’ve gone Down the middle or across the line? You gotta wonder if we’re better off getting high I’ve got no one to cry for me And I’ve got nothing that I believe And that’s alright with me Everybody’s running in circles now Just to find a place to stand Everybody’s talking hope and change But you can’t change what you can’t Ain’t nobody give a damn for me And there ain’t no one for you Disconnected, stranded and unloved That’s the song life wrote for you It’s true Down the middle or across the line? You gotta wonder if we’re better off getting high I’ve got no one to cry for me And I’ve got nothing that I believe And that’s alright with me Spoken: Alright check this out: I’m gonna tell you a funny store except it’s not that funny When I came to the ‘they’ and that’s what they say and I asked in friendship They told me it about business. “It’s all about business, man” But when I came to the ‘they’ and that’s what they say in business They told me “it’s all about friendship, man. It’s all about friendship” But where’s a guy stand? What’s a guy supposed to do? What do you want? What do you want from me? There’s ain’t nothing No there ain’t no one for me. I’ve got no one to cry for me And I’ve got nothing that I believe And that’s alright with me

When I’m feeling out of rope When I think I can’t go on When I’m feeling like I’ve got no one at all Do you think you might be there? When you’re feeling down and out When you’re feeling all alone When you’re feeling like your back’s against the wall Just call my name and I’ll be there We’re all feeling on the outs (sometimes) We’re all feeling insecure (at least I’m not ashamed) We’re all feeling like there ain’t no one at all (I’m so alone) Just call my name and I’ll be there Tom said “the waiting’s the hardest part” And I went and took it to the heart When you’re feeling down and out When you’re feeling all alone When you’re feeling like there ain’t no one at all Just call my name and I’ll be there

When I look into the mirror lately what stares back at me? A face that I don’t recognize and eyes I can’t bear to meet Hey there, Mr. Stranger. Is this how you’ve always dreamed you’d be? A broken, bruised, empty shell of a man that’s been branded by the days he’s seen Karma is a bastard and it goes around, you see. And I’m a cold hearted son of a bitch so I’ll take what’s gonna come to me I could head on out to California Or down to Tennessee And just leave my troubles so far behind that they’ll never find a way to me Isn’t that the joke of my life? Ain’t that the irony? Cuz my troubles exist right here in my mind and I know they’ll come along with me. Karma is a bastard and it goes around, you see. And I’m a cold hearted son of a bitch so I’ll take what’s gonna come to me I’ve got a heart of stone. But it’s never gonna weigh me down Karma is a bastard and it goes around, you see. And I’m a cold hearted son of a bitch so I’ll take what’s gonna come to me

Crucify Me 02:59
Some mornings I just lay awake in bed and I tell myself I can’t go on Then many nights I lay awake and pray to God that by the morning light I will be gone I fill my head with all these stupid goals just as a means to an end to carry on Go on and say what you will of me I won’t accuse you of the lie Cuz no one hates me more than I do You got my ok to crucify Crucify me. Sometimes I feel like I can’t face another day. I just can’t carry on and on. Would it be so bad if I just ceased to exist? I’m sure the world could carry on Go on and say what you will of me I won’t accuse you of the lie Cuz no one hates me more than I do You got my ok to crucify Crucify me. Good enough for someone else I walk down the streets and don’t feel like myself Looking at the faces of people I’ll never meet I’ll never know. I’ll never understand what makes them tick In my head’s a raging storm Where was the turn that made it all go wrong? Carry on…. Go on and say what you will of me I won’t accuse you of the lie Cuz no one hates me more than I do You got my ok to crucify Crucify me.

I know I don’t care The lies that became of our promises Ain’t getting us anywhere Do you remember your days before the drugging and booze? When you stood by me and I could still stand you. Do you remember how we swore that we’d never be Like the kind of guys that we would see hanging around and not going anywhere? I know I don’t care Wherever this road here should guide you I’ll just be glad that I’m not there I remember how it was when my heart was coated in ice And I remember how it felt when it thawed because I looked in your eyes But you threw me down and you kicked my side And you preached the truth while you told me lies And I’m forever frozen up again Tell me why did you go selling your souls on me I used to think you were born of a dream But now you’ve got me doubting all I once believed Tell me why did you go selling your souls on me I know I don’t care If you should crawl back here tomorrow You’d never mend up the tear

Sad Songs 03:02
Summer nights so thick with despair I can almost taste the pain in the air I’m out walking. I can’t go home To an empty house that’s wall to wall with your ghost So I grab an empty seat at the foot of the bar And the levy breaks and I just drift beyond And I sit listening to sad, sad songs Thinking about all the ways it went wrong I add it up but I just can’t find An answer that will bring me peace of mind I hear the voices. I hear the laughs I’m in a crowd but I still feel so detached So I grab an empty seat at the foot of the bar And the levy break and I do my best to drown And I sit listening to sad, sad songs Thinking about all the ways it went wrong And I sit listening to sad, sad songs Thinking about all the ways it went wrong The path of self destruction (self deception) is a road well traveled You’ll find my footprints there among the stones and gravel

Take a look around. The world is fucked. Sometimes I get to thinking that there’s no way out Come on, people. Don’t stand in the way Life can catch you looking when you least expect The things that you want aren’t the things that you get Just keep on trucking for another day Lately I’ve been thinking all about the past It seems so much easier when I think back People say that’s just your mind playing tricks on you It’s just the glass you’ve been looking through But I beg to differ with my learned friends Each step I take still leaves behind some prints Along the road I have picked up a few things That have weighed me down and made me way to sing…. Take a look around. The world is fucked. Sometimes I get to thinking that there’s no way out Come on, people. Don’t stand in the way Life can catch you looking when you least expect The things that you want aren’t the things that you get Just keep on trucking for another day I’ve written so many words for times like these And reassuring words are the things I need Maybe now the old me can play council to the new Set me straight and show me what to do Take a look around. The world is fucked. Sometimes I get to thinking that there’s no way out Come on, people. Don’t stand in the way Life can catch you looking when you least expect The things that you want aren’t the things that you get Just keep on trucking for another day 17 on a mission 21 on the rocks 28 on my knees 31 when’s it gonna stop? Take a look around. The world is fucked. Sometimes I get to thinking that there’s no way out Come on, people. Don’t stand in the way Life can catch you looking when you least expect The things that you want aren’t the things that you get Just keep on trucking for another day Just keep on trucking for another day God, there must be another way

Wasted Years 04:30
I flipped the calendar page to another December Another turn Another dying year I don’t know how And I’m not sure I care But one day I came to find myself right here I woke up one morning on this side of 30 Beaten but a little more sincere I did a lot of time And I gave a way all these years But there’s no reward for bitterness and fear I did a lot of time And it still got me here There ain’t no cure for all these wasted years I gave away the past 10 years with no return I gave away every secret I held dear I threw my heart on the table and I lost the bet And I cried away a reservoir of tears I did a lot of time And I gave a way all these years But there’s no reward for bitterness and fear I did a lot of time And it still got me here There ain’t no cure for all these wasted years I flipped the calendar page to another December Another turn Another dying year I did a lot of time And I gave a way all these years But there’s no reward for bitterness and fear I did a lot of time And it still got me here There ain’t no cure for all these wasted years
