Rob Lyrics:

Somewhere in my brain
Where light rarely flickers on
Bumping 'round in the dark

Truth is not one dimensional
I hold on to more than one truth

Shadows still fill The deepest corners of my mind
Try to wave them away like flies

Truth is not one dimensional
I hold on to more than one truth

Peeling away the layers of lies
I convince myself I'm right

Living in this three dimensional world
Do my best
Get on the right side of  the truth

Peeling away the layers of lies
I convince myself I'm right

Somewhere in my brain
Where light rarely flickers on
Bumping 'round in the dark

Right Side of the TRUTH w/Rob Olsson

Lyrics:
You only love me when I
Do what you want me to 
Got this weight on my shoulder
Don’t want to be a martyr

Blooms in full flourish
Fold away at night
Out in summer air
Out in summer air

Can we talk about the fact that
You want to be free
You’re capable at any time
Break your bonds and run away

What you’re giving, only some of
What I want to take
Take it all for myself
Life turns on a dime

Blooms in full flourish
Fold away at night
Out in summer air
Out in summer air

Can we talk about the fact that
You want to be free
You’re capable at any time
Break your bonds and run away

You out in summer air
Prowling in my garden
Turn my back, you run away
Don’t know what you’ll encounter

You only love me when I
Do what you want me to 
Got this weight on my shoulder
Don’t want to be a martyr

Blooms in full flourish
Fold away at night
Out in summer air
Out in summer air

Life can turn on a dime
Turn on a dime
Life can turn on a dime

Blooms In Full Flourish

Lyrics:
Pull out my pistol 
Point it at the moon
Curse everything around me 
Curse the moon too

Imagine where we’d be right now if
Nothing never changed
Worry about things getting worse
Well, how ‘bout if nothing never got better

Nothing I can change
Out of my reach
Eat the fabric my being
Turn me inside out

Imagine where we’d be right now if
Nothing never changed
Worry about things getting worse
Well, how ‘bout if nothing never got better

Juices flowing ’tween my old tired bones
Feeling so much better

Imagine where we’d be right now if
Nothing never changed
Worry about things getting worse
Well, how ‘bout if nothing never got better

Cool mountain air fills my lungs
Blood coursing through my veins
Sweat drops on my brow

Read about it in the paper
Don’t exist no more
Sun on my face, I feel it
So much better now

Care to make a wager
Lay some money down
Money where your mouth is
Lay that hard cash down

Curse At The Moon Too

Lyrics:
First time for everything
First hug, first kiss
When was the last time
Thought about any of this
All good things fall into place

Long ago you said you loved me
That was not untrue
I love me too, can’t blame you

I’m uneducated, unbathed
I’m a wreck
Check it out, whatcha gonna do?

First time for everything
First hug, first kiss
When was the last time
Thought about any of this
All good things fall into place

I’m no prince, that being said
Thanks a lot for hanging in 
I’ve got doubts, check it out

My lackadaisical attitude
C’est la vie
You’re still here, believe in me

Always hear so much talk about
The one soul mate
A lotta talk, check it out

First time for everything
First hug, first kiss
When was the last time
Thought about any of this
All good things fall into place

Good Things Fall

Lyrics:
Turn on the radio
Expecting to hear your voice
Wait a minute, there’s no sound
Make another station choice

Look at myself in the mirror
Paintbrush seems unnatural
Give me my old faithful Fender

Next thing I hear is a favorite
Heard it so many times
Almost don’t like it anymore
Can’t take this again

I love that old familiar sound
Like your voice when I need a reset
Quell that whistling in my head

Look at myself 
Paintbrush seems unnatural
Give me my old faithful Fender

Quell that whistling in my head

 My best option might be 
Take a little friendship break
Find a book or canvas
Occupy my head for a while

I love that old familiar sound
Like your voice when I need a reset
Quell that whistling in my head

Look at myself in the mirror
Paintbrush seems unnatural
Give me my old faithful Fender

Quell that whistling in my head

Paintbrush Seems Unnatural

Lyrics:

Just this afternoon
Looking at another ridiculous post
Remember how we used to 
Drink from the hose?
Yes I do, I’m so proud of myself

I would not trade away today
To go back to a time
Before we made our lives
So much better

Boonie desert parties
Circled around the keg, it was great
Talking about the bands 
We used to dig, best of all time
Nothing worth hearing any more

Back then had my friends
Back then had my family
All this still hold true today
Got good friends 
Got good family

I would not trade away today
To go back to a time
Before we made our lives
So much better

No, I think I’ve still got
Many good days ahead of me

I would not trade away today
To go back to a time
Before we made our lives
So much better

Big collars on our shirts
Used to be so disco man
Making popcorn in a pie tin
Big foil bubble on the stovetop

I would not trade away today
To go back to a time
Before we made our lives
So much better

Trade Away Today

Lyrics 

Along the way, out of curiosity
Ask me anything, I know it all

Know it all, that’s what they call me
Means I really don’t know a thing
Open my mouth
Prove it time and again

I can count to ten, three different languages 
No and yes and thank you 
That’s my specialty

Know it all, that’s what they call me
Means I really don’t know a thing
Open my mouth
Prove it time and again

Almost to the point, almost able to
Make a point, most of it pointless

Keen eye for the obvious, spot it every time
Did you catch the way made it look so easy

Know it all, that’s what they call me
Means I really don’t know a thing
Open my mouth
Prove it time and again

Smirk on my face
Cranium can’t hold it all
Sit in wonder
Such the wealth of knowledge

Listen close to what I’m saying
Say I mean it I believe it

Almost to the point, almost able to
Make a point, most of it pointless

I got super confidence, sure of myself
Stand alone atop the highest mountain 

Smirk on my face
Cranium can’t hold it all
Sit in wonder
Such the wealth of knowledge

Listen close to what I’m saying
Say I mean it I believe it

Almost to the point, almost able to
Make a point, most of it pointless

Smirk on my face
Cranium can’t hold it all
Sit in wonder
Such the wealth of knowledge

Smirk On My Face

Lyrics:

Sometimes things go my way
Sometimes a win make a great day
I ain’t always down on myself

Mostly man, I like what’s in the mirror
Sometimes I think 
Jerry Reed would be better

Just saying, stuff piles up
Saying, don’t want to face it
Bear down and power through

Mostly man, I like what’s in the mirror
Sometimes I think 
Jerry Reed would be better

Alarm clock going off
That time again
Sun soon coming up
Thankful for another day

Alarm clock going off
That time again
Sun soon coming up
Thankful for another day

Down time in the afternoon
List of never ending honey do’s
Put up my feet, take a snooze

Mostly man, I like what’s in the mirror
Sometimes I think 
Jerry Reed would be better

Alarm clock going off
That time again
Sun soon coming up
Thankful for another day

Lyrics:
Hey diamond 
Found you here
Among the rough
Exactly what I was looking for

Oh, proud to be gold setting
On infinite circle
Resting ‘round third finger

Well, when you say my name
Will always feel the same
And I’ve been dreaming of you

Hey diamond
Brilliant, stand out
Catch the eye without trying
Sparkling sunrise

Its not always the way around
Things you’re thinking of
Things you think are ordinary

Oh, tied to me
Tied to each other
I found you or you found me

Well, when you say my name
Will always feel the same
And I’ve been dreaming of you

Its not always the way around
Things you’re thinking of
Things you think are ordinary

Among The Rough

Lyrics:
Steady your hand, hold it out in front of you
Palm down, open wide, keep it still
Steady, steady like a rock

Fill the lungs, hold it in, don’t let it out
Oxygen is life, oxygen is life
Without it slip away

Steady like a rock, no such thing as trying
Set in my way, set in stone
Let me know if you see me waiver
Know when I hit the floor

Steady like a rock, no such thing as trying
Set in my way, set in stone
Let me know if you see me waiver
Know when I hit the floor

Getting reps in, keep a mental count, the turns
Generally speaking, random mark
Pump it out, turning over rocks

Over under, beat the odds on favorite
Carrying the bag, subjective satisfaction
I feel satisfied

In the presence of certain company
Discretion opposite honesty
Find the right moment and then lay it out
Save the hurtfulness for next time

In the presence of certain company
Save the hurtfulness for next time

Discretion Opposite Honesty

Lyrics:

Sick, lonely, naked, a fool
Accumulated wealth means nothing
Can’t take it where I’m going
All the money won’t feed an empty soul

Sick, lonely, naked, a fool
Recall to mind the place and time
Given opportunity
Sit and wait for the perfect moment
Next thing it’s gone

Safe, happy, fine clothes so cool
Crack the outer shell
Center
Regrets, we’ve all got some
Navigate challenges that come

Accumulated wealth means nothing
All the money won’t feed an empty soul

Sick, Lonely, A Fool
