Merry-Go-Round

If I gave you what you want would it come right back
Would it knock me to the ground just like a heart attack
Nobody means what they say
Nobody says what they mean
Careful what you wish for
It might come true
Don’t it make you happy , when you do what you do
Nobody gets what they want
Nobody wants what they get
On this merry go round
Spirals down, spirals down
Run it to the ground ‘til the dirt says no more
Then we can’t remember what we started it for
Nobody needs what they learn
Nobody learns what they need
Doesn’t mean I don’t love you
I love you just the same
Doesn’t mean I don’t trust you
I play this foolish game
Doesn’t mean I don’t love you
I love you just the same
Doesn’t mean I’m not like you
I’m part of the machine
Sometimes there’s no one to blame
Nobody gets what they want
Nobody wants what they get
Nobody means what they say
Nobody says what they mean
On this merry go round
Spirals down, spirals down….

Back To You

Cold-hearted lies
I swat like flies
To renew the beauty of life
Shame, I’ve had enough
It’s been tough
But I’ve learned to love and trust
So tell me why can’t I
Get back to you
Dark passageways
Lost for days
I emerge cause I’ve learned and I’ve paid
Same , I’ve had enough
I’ve been crushed
Underneath yet still came up
So tell me why can’t I
Get back to you
Get back to you
Take a ride on a time machine with me
Take a ride, my friend
To a time when we could surely see
It would never end
We were holdin’ on
We could do no wrong
Take a ride on a time machine with me
Take a ride, my friend
So tell me why, can’t I…
Get back to you

The Best of Everything

Oh no here it comes again
That funny feeling we’ve come to the end
A good run, we gave it our best
Mother Nature takes care of the rest
And the tide is drying up
The tide is drying up
Fire on the horizon
Burn the face away
Prize to keep your eyes on
You’ve got to make
You’ve got to make the best of everything
Bout time for a clean slate
Don’t mind if it’s too late
All alone in the crowd again
Smoke rising, close to the end
Rolling down the highway
Lost but not alone
Gonna do it my way
You’ve got to make
You’ve got to make
The best of everything

What You're Told

Thoughts are running through my head
We may all be better dead
Thoughts are running through my head
And I’ll never be the same
Turning on arrival
Stopping on a dime
Ice is runnin’ through my veins
Not much else here still remains
Ice is runnin’ though my veins
And I’ll never be the same
Turning on arrival
Stopping on a dime (2x)
Watch them fold
Close their eyes
What you’re told
No surprise
Turning on arrival
Stopping on a dime
On a dime, on a dime, oooooh
Watch them fold
Close their eyes
Turning on arrival
Stopping on a dime

My old friend, how I’ve trusted you
Give you my money, I’d take a bullet too
Found myself with nowhere else to go
When I was down, is when I needed you most
So you think you can just
Justify
All the things that you said
Now you’re gone, and I’m moving on
Crumbling bridges, once were strong
Took my faith in love and threw it all away
Final curtain call - I’ve got one last thing to say
So you think you can just
Justify
All the things that you said
How you made me cry
So you think you can just
Justify
All the things that you said
When you know how hard I tried
Give a little bit of love someday, I
Search for forgiveness
Give a little bit of time to say, I
Search for forgiveness
Give a little more love today, I
Search for forgiveness

Beneath the Shadows

Kills me to know that you’re sad and you’re lonely
Kills me to know that you wait for him and not for me
Kills me to row this empty boat out to sea
With nothing to show, nothing to show
Kills me to go through the motions out of sympathy
Kills me to go around in circles while you’re stalling me
Kills me to tow this heavy weight across the minefield
With nothing to show, nothing to show
But and unconvincing promise
Hiding out beneath the shadows
Calling out your name
You’re not aware, of my frustration
This love affair has no relation
To me, to me, to me
And I just can’t be what you want me to be
To be, to be
Just one more day, you’re beggin’ of me
Just one more hour, we’re out of time
Voices in my head, are getting loud
“Walk away”
Hiding out beneath the shadows
Calling out your name
Hiding out beneath the shadows
Since the day you came
You’re not aware, of my frustration
This love affair has no relation
To me, to me, to me
And I just can’t be what you want me to be
To be, to be
Beneath the shadows
Under the guise
A new kind of animal
Comes alive

Push

Push you away
Push me into a corner
I’ve gone astray
I really should have warned ya
We’ll meet again
A feeling will resurface
The message sent
Has not achieved it purpose
For every grain of sand
For every star in the sky and
For any question you might have
I’ll let it all out
Push is the way
The way out of this battle
Into the fray
Imaginary scandal
Will do us in
Can history deliver
The same result
Has left us all in shivers

Less Is More

Did ya ever think that I’d be here
With the whole world at my feet
Did ya ever think that I’d get here
Does it feel like a victory?
I don’t even understand the situation
Nothin’s quite as shiny as it used to be
I’ve been schooled in the pleasures of an ordinary kind
Less is more, but more’s a real hard habit to break
Less is more, but more’s a real hard habit to break
No I never thought that I’d be here
With the world in the palm of my hand
“I never thought that I’d be here”
Is what I said to the preacher man
I don’t really wanna have this conversation
Can’t we just go back to how it used to be?
I’d give you the keys to the castle if I thought that it would end
Less is more, but more’s a real hard habit to break
Less is more, but more’s a real hard habit to break
Less is more, but more’s a real hard habit to break
Everybody’s tryin’ to have the conversation
What I hear ain’t exactly what I see (oh no)
Pardon me while I cause a confusion
Less is more, but more’s a real hard habit to break
Less is more, but more’s a real hard habit to break
Less is more, but more’s a real hard habit to break
Real hard to break
Real hard to break
Real hard to break

Slip and Fall

Gonna build a bridge today
Make it land across the sky
Let the colors run, the accusations fly
Coulda been a millionaire
Coulda had the dream life
But in those dreams I’d hear the cries
I can see we don’t agree
And you know I don’t believe
But you can pray for me
Could of run the other way
Could have disappeared a while
I’ve played that role
One too many times
Was it like the memory?
Comedy or tragedy?
An endless trail of possibilities
We are the change that we seek
We take on more than we know
Sometimes I slip and I fall
Don’t quit on me, I’ll make it right
Once Again
