Pack your things and come with me now
I’m leaving this old town behind
If you stay you’ve seen the most of me
If you come we can finally be free
I don’t know where this road leads now
I don’t know where it will end
If you stay you’ve seen the most of me
If you come we can finally be free
After all that’s what this llife is all about
There’s no use in living in doubt
12 years into this and sweat runs down my brows
It took me way too long to figure this out

Very Last Breath
02:17

Take my very last breath
For here I lie beside your feet
And remember the first step I made
It wasn’t too hard, it wasn’t too deep
And the sunshine set my heart on fire
And the railroad tracks brought up desires
And my heart was like a
Never sinking ship
And there were times we really had our doubts
And there were times we felt so burnt out
And honey if you think you can make us leave
Better think again and give us time to breath
For the rain is falling hard on that Saturday night
And I’m sitting here yes I’m alright
I’m alright
These four walls of mine
Haven’t seen the beauty I left behind
Like the stars have all lost their glow
And honey you keep sending us home
And it’s never too late to start over
You always wanted your own rocknroller
Time has come it ain’t on my side
And we need a place to hide tonight
And honey when we’re back we’ll start over
You always wanted your own rocknroller
And honey if you think you can make us leave
Better think again and give us time to breath
For the rain is falling hard on that Saturday night
And I’m sitting here yes I’m alright
I’m alright

Here Comes The Pain
02:04

you can have all my time and the answers you seek
the books that you crave and all that’s in between
the poems you write and the pictures you take
of flowers and paintings of people so strange
and all the voices that lived in my head
once were quiet and then they said
it’s been going on for years
this will end in tears
a small keepsake remains
here comes the pain
and except all our words it’s all in the mist
well maybe I’m reading too much into this
into the books you describe the poems you recite
of the displaced, unfortunate, the lonely and blind
and all the voices that lived in my head
once were quiet and then they said
it’s been going on for years
this will all end up in tears
a small keepsake remains
here comes the pain

Bury My Heart
02:35

When I was a young man I would always think about the past
Now that I grew older I have realized it wouldn’t last
Some things never change you know they always stay the same
That’s the way this world works and I’m not the one to blame
But still you
Keep telling me
That it’s not true
And I’m too blind to see
You
Driving down this muddy road in the old 5.2
The rain is pouring hard but all I think about is you
I got no destination in my mind nowhere to go
I’m far from home and all alone but soon I’ll show
To you
That there’s a way
That we could stay
The way we were one day
You
Take me places that I’ve never seen before
Take me to corners unsafe and insecure
Give me feelings I’ve never felt before
Show me things that I feel I need to explore
And if I end up where I cannot make it home no more
At least I know I won’t die bored
Bury my heart where I last felt it beat
In the middle of this lonesome street

Turn The Record On
01:47

Somewhere in this town someone
Is sitting around all alone
And he turns his records on
He has no clue what to say
Or even how to behave
Until social d comes on
Turn the record on
You’re not the only one around
Turn the record on
You lost your voice but that’s your sound
He works 9-5 each day
For little or too little pay
His wife ran off some time ago
And he doesn’t know how to show
Any feelings he might have
But then he just sits down and smiles
realizing that it’s not the end
Turn the record on
You’re not the only one around
Turn the record on
You lost your voice but that’s your sound
And there’s a punk rock show tonight
He’ll go alone and feel alright
Screaming out the things he cannot say
And once he is back at home
He will laugh at what he’s done
And go back to work on the next day

Cold Hands
02:57

went seperate ways
but ended up the same
a bombed out city
in the middle of nowhere
show me things
I’ve never seen before
your hands grow cold
mine are a little soar
you can’t hold no water
can’t change the time
you recall the colours
between black and white
and in the end
a story well rehearsed
we read the lines
they felt somehow cursed
in this day and age
big things never change
you rant about the world
so fluid and so strange
you run and run and run
and what have I become
you’re this city’s lost spirit
it’s where you stayed too long
you’re this city’s lost spirit
it’s where you stayed too long
the heat still rises
I wonder where you are
did you take the trip
and have you seen the stars
enlightend the north
always regret the past
your poem is still here
unearthing all your scars
went seperate ways
but ended up the same
a bombed out city
in the middle of nowhere
show me things I’ve never seen before
your hands grow cold
mine are a little soar
in this day and age
big things never change
you rant about the world
so fluid and so strange
you run and run and run
and what have I become
you’re this city’s lost spirit
it’s where you stayed too long
you’re this city’s lost spirit
it’s where you stayed too long
