"Crawling Out Of My Grave"
I was in the wrong
but now I see what I’ve done
couldn’t see the sun
from the hole that I dug
and I’m sorry for
all the cruel things I done
now I’m on the run
swerving over the lanes
trying to get away
from myself and my pain
and would you let me know
if you made it home okay
How long will I wait?
got to get out of my own way
oh what the hell did I say?
I’m crawling out of my grave
and now we’re wide awake
but how much more can they take
until their spirits break
and below my feet the Earth quakes
and the greed of man
draws the blood from the land
How long will I wait?
got to get out of my own way
oh what the hell did I say?
I’m crawling out of my grave
crawling up through the Earth
through the layers of time
through the fossils and worms
How long will I wait?
got to get out of my own way
oh what the hell did I say?
I’m crawling out of my grave
I’m going back to the stone
and here I thought I was so alone
well you were there all along
telling me to hold on

“The Highest Place”
Somewhere beyond it all
the highest place
the closer that I come
the more it slips away
war outside my door
war inside of me
theres no more I can afford
given you everything
gave you all the love
that light can bring the sun
and just before I die
the sun begins to shine
nowhere left to turn
aint no going back
nothing left to burn
it’s all been turned to ash
I watched the world I love
get lost and drunk on oil
something I can change
all been rearranged
Somewhere beyond it all
the highest place
the closer that I come
the more it slips away

You'll Be There With Me

“You’ll Be There With Me”
I was out of my mind
straight out of my head
everywhere that I went
I wasn’t there
now every night
laying in my bed
dreaming of the love
that I forgot to give
Now wherever I go
whenever I’ll be
wherever I roam
you’ll be there with me
I was out of my lane
went driving too fast
swerved all my turns
I ran out of gas
everybody knows
nothings gold can last
see ya in my dreams
see you in the past
there’s a little light
still shining here
and here I thought all the light had disappeared
then I saw you
just standing there
looking at me like I’m looking in a mirror
with one look
and you will know
I have to break my promise of returning home
but if I do
I’ll be in different form
maybe I’m a flower falling on the pond
who are you dying for?
Now wherever I go
whenever I’ll be
wherever I roam
you’ll be there with me
yeah you’ll be there with me
you’ll be there with
yeah you’ll be there with me

“No Way Of Knowing”
Where are you going?
where have you been?
there’s no way of knowing
what’s ‘round the bend
though one thing is certain
how this all ends
man eats the garden
while true love ascends
but you got the magic
you’ve got the touch
I’m just a mad dog
climbing the walls
remembering voices
of old friends long gone
there’s too many choices
let’s right the wrong

“The Beast You Create”
Pull me apart
one piece at a time
want a piece of my mind
well you can’t have my heart
that journey is mine
should’ve known from the start
but I was so blind
So don’t pretend
that the beast you create won’t bring your end
This is the place
where my mind was erased
dreams were removed
with such skill and grace
and such shiny tools
should’ve known from the start
but I was a fool
So don’t pretend
that the beast you create won’t bring your end
so enjoy it while you can
cause the walls around ya creeping in
Who and I anymore?
I’ve been locked out
of my own house
and now all I see is the shore
So don’t pretend
that the beast you create won’t bring your end
so enjoy it while you can
cause the walls around ya creeping in

“Too Tired To Sleep”
Stayed up all night
collecting my thoughts
puzzling pieces
connecting the dots
you were gold
you shined on me
now you’re under
under the leaves
and I’m too tired to sleep
but not to dream
we used to lay flowers
above the unknown
we’d lay there for hours
with nowhere to go
bullets are flying
all ‘round the world
everyone’s fighting
everyone’s fighting
and I’m too tired to sleep
yeah I’m too tired to sleep
but not
but not to dream
and I’m too tired to sleep
yeah I’m too tired to sleep
oh but not to dream
but not to dream
not to dream
but not to dream
not to dream
not to dream
not to dream
not to dream

“The One Below”
my times a wasting
theres no end in sight
my heart is waiting
til the time is right
feel like a vulture
circling the sky
and wait for life below
to die
the world above me
and the one below
today you’re with me
the next you’re gone
you’re like an angel
trapped in the snow
just praying the sun will
let you go home
everyone I know
struggling just to get by
love is worth the fall
I’m always with you
my one and all
I hear you calling
I feel the roar
you’re like a dragon
breaking down the wall
you can’t hold it anymore

“Worlds And Dreams”
I’ve looked all around for you
couldn’t find a trace of life
took me everything I knew
not to give up on the fight
so I’m swinging back to you
I got another chance at life
all I really want is truth
all we ever hear are lies
and we’re drifting in out of worlds
in and out of dreams
unlock the doors
and throw away the keys
from this height
Odin can see everything
caught a glimpse into her eyes
and now he can’t do anythings
and we’re drifting in out of worlds
in and out of dreams
unlock the doors
and throw away the keys
can’t find my way back
through all the weeds and thorns
is this the payback
for all my cosmic woes
oh my dog only knows
yeah this is just a game to you
let’s try and have a little fun
I know that you want it too
and no we’re not the only ones
and we’re drifting in out of worlds
in and out of dreams
unlock the doors
and throw away the keys

Her Highness

“Her Highness”
I crawled through
the forest
I came to
a goddess
she showed me
such kindness
so I swore
allegiance
I peered through
her eyelids
saw death fields
in harvest
such cruelty
and violence
from those in
defiance
to her highness
forgive us
oh your highness
and I don’t deal
such business
it’s too hard
to witness
please come to
your senses
let’s stop all
this madness
oh your highness
Her Highness
Her Highness
Her Highness
