Lyrics:

You sure can worry, the weight of the world does it roll you and you sure can worry, about the fork in the road.
It sure gets blurry, the light of your life is it fading and you think I'm hurting, 'cause I'm sleeping alone.

But don't you worry about me, yeah don't you worry about me.
'Cause I'm the rubber man and I'll bounce back again.

You sure can worry, your parents back home, well they need you. You sure can worry, that the timing is now.
This river's churning, but it's dark at the floor so they tell me and I've been searching for a story to tell.

But don't you worry about me, yeah don't you worry about me.
'Cause I'm the rubber man and I'll bounce back again.

Bring me the silence, I'll fill it with screams and silence. Bring me the darkness, 'cause the city's too bright.
Don't think you know me, I gave you my name and my answers. But you're asking questions, meant for somebody else.

But don't you worry about me, yeah don't you worry about me.
'Cause I'm the rubber man and I'll bounce back again.


Dark At The Floor

Lyrics:

"Honesty first." said the cocaine fiend, good enough for me I thought.
'Cause the catalyst for change is usually the same just depending on the reasons you've bought.
Funny how a drug can change your mind and your heart right off the bat,
but if substance abuse has led me to truth then you can't say fairer than that.

But I have seen through bloodshot eyes,
That we live on comfy lies.

I made a hell of a mess, I had a hell of a time and it's rare I've had my back to the wall,
I'd be a hell of a man, and I will if I can, if you would only help me through it all.

Old conclusions are a fertile ground, I cannot build on water.
When a harshness spake and the ground doth shake it's your old thoughts will have caught you.
Now you find me shaken from a hazy conversation,
How long we spend with plastic walls as our only fortification.

But no-one's got it all, even if we say they do.

I made a hell of a mess, I had a hell of a time and it's rare I've had my back to the wall,
I'd be a hell of a man, and I will if I can, if you would only help me through it all.

Then the woman I love took off my clothes and said that she saw beauty.
Like no-one has before, like no-one has before, like no-one has before.


I made a hell of a mess, I had a hell of a time and it's rare I've had my back to the wall,
I'd be a hell of a man, and I will if I can, if you would only help me through it all.

Lyrics:

From where I stand, things seem kind of ugly,
But it's normal, yeah, that's what I'm told.
My TV says there's a great competition,
I must win, before I grow old.

But winning comes with fighting, losing, hurting, wearing a crown; and someone goes down.
My golden moments found me when I'm alone, and small victories are all I've ever known.

Well I take my time and I take my pleasure,
The sigh of a stream's the fastest I'll flow.
It feels so good to look them in the eye and stop,
While the rest of the world, tells you to go.

But why aren't  I changing lazy, hazy, effortless comforts I have outgrown?
The same reason the fish keep on swimming,
'Cause small victories are all I've ever known.

But I face the facts, like I face the weather,
Shielded from something too cold.
I'd love for just one day to be a winner,
To play my Jack of hearts, and not just fold.

Put me on the 6 o'clock train heading for somewhere that isn't home,
The boy who left with nothing but great expectations,
And small victories as all he's ever known.
Yeah those small victories are all I've ever known.

Small Victories
