Middle Ground

I’m packing up now
gotta go there
but it’s only five o’three

I’m not alone
got some clovers
for road ahead of me

the moon lights the sky
and, oh
the sun will set the sea

I’ll fake a mended heart

I’m not that old
I feel so young and free
but weight can hold me down

I never told her 
not to fold on me
but it’s over now

if i could change my mind
I’d only see your soul 
but how

I’ll fake a mended heart

the sun it sets behind 
the mountains block
this hold on my heart

spent some time
to get my mind alright
and grow apart

waking up
life ain’t over
but I can’t go back to the start

I’ll fake a mended heart

Fake a Mended Heart

everything has to be comfortable
before we start the war
anything after that is gonna have to maybe wait for an open score

at the end of the night I can vouch for you
and it might have been even more
but an eye for an eye just doesn’t make it alright
but then maybe I’ll get what I paid for 
 shake your head at the right time 
might it be a fucking addiction to smoke
I guess that’s alright 
it just isn’t your night
so swallow or choke

if you want another reason to set your guns down
I’ve got a story I’ve been waiting to tell
she held her pocket full of dreams 
but then kept them all unseamed
and now they’re broken and she’s looking to sell
if you want another reason to set your guns down
I’ve got this story you’ve been waiting to see
hold the ticket for the ride and I’ll set shit all aside
then we can heal my heart and lick my wounds clean

 where did your lasting thoughts go
heavy hitter
ready and good and faded
down to where your lost
head up the track now
baby I can see you’ll get nowhere
 bet it my life or not at all
I can feel the heat that’s in the air
let me get it
back it up 
head off know
and I guess this makes us square  

if you want another reason to set your guns down
I’ve got a story I’ve been waiting to tell
she held her pocket full of dreams 
but then kept them all unseamed
and now they’re broken and she’s looking to sell
if you want another reason to set your guns down
I’ve got this story you’ve been waiting to see
hold the ticket for the ride and I’ll set shit all aside
then we can heal my heart and lick my wounds clean

Tell me when you're ready and good and faded...

The Ride

They’ve called me absent
I cheat and stray past the line

I think only I’ve seen
a different way and state of mind

So if you ain’t on my side
That’s the way it has to be

I just cannot abide
Life it ought to be free

if you tell me, I’m gone
you’re here to tell me I’m wrong
you’ll have to find another way

thanks for only asking
you will fall behind

break out 12 ounces
and you may come to find

If you tell me, I’m gone
you’re here to tell me I’m wrong
you’ll have to find another way

it ain’t coming out right
I don’t think i’m better than you

you asked me do I try
at least I always hold true

if you tell me, I’m gone
you’re here to tell me I’m wrong
you’ll have to find another way
