One Arm

Cold times got me reelin'
From my bag I've been stealin'
Recycle me until I'm tired of myself
When the walls are gettin' itchy
And the brain is gettin' twitchy
Maybe not now but possibly sometime else
I'm wanderin' the fields of my mind
Should not have gone outside
They're double dealin' from one stacked deck
I can see them comin' but they're not here yet
I'm a man of simple needs
Can count the mouths I need to feed
Accept the idea that people are inherently good
Sometimes bitter like the weather
But always an open letter
Maybe not now but one day I probably should
I'm wanderin' the fields of my mind
Should not have gone outside
There's trouble brewin'
Gonna be a wreck
I can see they're coming
No more turnin' my back

Gone Outside

Not everything is as it's meant to be
That's why you'll never get my big reveal
Not every hand is one I'm willing to show
That's why you'll never see me walking home
Feelings, regrets
I haven't gotten there yet
Emotions, no plans
That's how I am
Not everyone is someone that you can trust
Never comprehend the depth of their blood lust
Every time I think about the things that I've done
I feel a little more like every godamned one
Cut my strong hand
Everywhere I land is where I am
Busted, flat
In tune with that
If you're gonna call
Better call now
By a thread, I'm outta my head
Something, the last thing you said
Not every thing I say is a point of order
Some are just stupid and some evoke laughter
Not exactly sure who I'm standing for
But if I'm home and you knock, I'll answer the door
Incense kills the scent of every thing that's ugly
Oh my, try to take it
It's never too late to wake the fuck up

My father was a drifter whose daddy was a grifter.

Rot In Hell

My reflection on the handle
On the door I'm locking behind
Walking over to the window
Clouds projected in my eyes
So much noise in the silence
So much money in violence
I'm waiting for God only knows
At a dead end with nowhere to go
I feel energy comin' off my enemies
Strange thing, my enemy looks just like me
A picture of my mother
I see my face in her smile
Calming all of my fears
With her bravest eyes
So much pain in a whisper
I never got to kiss her
I'm waiting for God only knows
On my way to nowhere slow
Feelings, kill me
Slowly, empty
A comedy of prayers 
And thoughtless, endless errors
Wrapped up in a ruse
That you get what you choose
So much hatred for love
So much love for guns
I'm waiting for my man to come thru
On my way to nowhere with you

What you're calling a tragedy
I say is a force of nature
Gotta know your enemies
They're ever present and we're in danger
All around, there's people hurting just as much as you
I don't know how to fix the pain you're going thru
What you're calling patriotic
Kinda makes you look idiotic
Gotta know your lane and stick to it
When you don't, you really screw it
Look around, there's people just as angry as you
Their blood is boiling red but your veins are still blue
If all you ever summon is your sufferin'
It's all you'll ever know
What your sayin' will be the end
Ain't how I'm going out, friend
Look around, there's people running for shelter
If we don't change things now this will be our forever

Look Around

Couldn't it be a day I wake up
Do the things I'm already dreading
Couldn't it be day like any other
Where I wake up and don't even bother
Why would I mind if you kept the time?
Tryin' to pull thru
Without you
It's gotta be All Saint's Day somewhere
But today it's not here
Couldn't it be a day I wake up
Without a suckerpunch comin' at my head
Couldn't it be a day like any other
Where I don't get out of bed
Why would I mind if you kept the time?
Tryin' to pull thru
Without you
I know if there are bells ringing
I'll be singin

Ring In The Bell (FUA Mix)

Sure as I know
I'll ride these waves of gold
Reflected in your eyes
Sunshine, sometimes
As soon as I see
What it is I'm meant to be
Oh Lord
I'm loved by the rivers of stars that spill from your lips
Gentle kisses, please, on my cheek
Well, we know comes a time
You'll show your hand and I'll show mine
Above on the clouds and even if they frown
Well, I know
You're smilin', too
See me through
