Celestial Thief

blasting off into outer space
grown tired of the human race
set the throttle into hyperdrive 
and just ride

The first thing you notice
about the black between the stars
if you can't handle lonliness
you ain't gettin too far


but I've had a dream
since before I was young
reach my hand up to the sky 
and steal the sun

and now I know what 
it means to live free 
makin my way as a 
celestial thief

hey hey hey

planning for my get away
to the edge of the galaxy
and I know that no one want's 
to follow me there

the law it surely can't track me down
never could see me any how
I grew up in the shadows 
that learning about now

and I had this dream 
since before I was young
to reach my hand up to the sky
and steal the sun

and now they'll know 
what it's like to be me
forced to live out of the light
in the dark just like a thief

sittin on the other side 
of the tracks from where you live
too many days gone by
too little left to give

my heart will always hold you
my memories are golden
but when the lights go down 
on this side of town
there's nothin left to see

and down the line
after you've had some time
baby if you think of me
I hope it's of the times
the sun did shine and
we were smiling

in the dark of night
beyond the line of sight
far from your marble streets
is a man who stares
and wonders where 
he lost his everything

but theres too many days gone by
I've got too little left to give
sitting on the other side
of the tracks from where you live

The Other Side

southern nights
far from the city lights
I swear I've never seen 
stars so bright

the air lies heavy
between you and me
I've got to remind
myself to breath 

mmmhmm
mmmhmm

and down in the holler 
with the cool cool waters
where the whippoorwill's cry
rings through the trees

I remember a time 
much like to tonight
when you first revealed 
your love to me 

mmmhmm
mmmhmm

it's the fate of all things
to come to an end
the mouth of the river
the last breath of the wind

great love holds 
a great risk for sorrow
today we were one
two on the morrow

mmhmmm
mmhmmm

Southern Nights

Burns And Scars

I was just a boy looking for some afterschool cash
when I picked up a job at the IGA off Ash
I thought I knew what hard work was
But I never knew, how much customers suck

yes ma'am I sure can bag your groceries
right after I finish cleaning up a spill on aisle three
I know that you think you don't need to tip meeeeee
but as a minor I'm not even earning minimum wage

whoaa customers suck
whoaa customers suck
the customers always be right
on my left nut

and I wish I could say that was the worst of it
but have you ever had to clean a public toilet
brush in hand I went to do battle my foe
I wish yall would learn to shit into the bowl

yes I understand that when you got this can
you didn't see the dent on the side of it
but I begging you to realize that dent won't affect
the beans on the inside

whoaa customers suck
whoaa customers suck
the customers can always be right
on my left nut

now here's some rhymes about 
other things I didn't get paid enough to deal with 

shopping cart corral
the manager smokes black and milds
rotate the products on the shelf
the labels have got to face out
all the eggs go bad today
we've got sell them anyway

whoaa managers suck
whoaa managers suck
my left nut

Return Of The Hot Dog (produced by LOHM)

I was down at the club looking for trouble
when in walks this girl she was a double
D if you know what I mean 
the kinda girl that makes you rhyme misogyny

I went over there to introduce
offered her a gin and juice
she just kinda rolled her eyes
but then she said to my surprise

"Sure I'll have a drink. 
You're not my type but what do you think, 
we could have a little fun 
as long as you don't tell anyone"

my jaw dropped to the floor
I couldn't believe I's about to score
with a certified hottie
cool tattoos and a real stacked body

we had a few drinks and started to dance
she introduced me to a couple of friends
but I was pretty sure she was taking care of me 
I had time to spare for Greg or Jeremy

then I started to lose the thread
I thought the booze had gone to my head
I went outside to get some air
all three of them followed me there

Greg and Jeremy came up beside 
to help me stand or so I surmised
She ran her fingers through my hair and said
"Hey, let's get outta here"

I followed them to a second location
the biggest mistake that I was makin'
I thought she was just so nice
but they were just trying to get me on ice

this is how I woke up
with a big old hole in my guy
stay away from the cutie named Kimberly
that bitch stole my kidney

Kidney #IMF-Songwriting-Blitz

what does it take to break someone
what does it take to make them whole again
where are the walls that you once built
have they fallen down

brick by brick and stone by stone
you thought this fortress would make you strong
all it did was keep everyone out
and it's gone on too long

so here I come to help you put it all back together
so here I come telling you it's ok to need another
my dearest friend it's the least I can do
someday soon I'm gonna need you too

taking out the things that close you off
leaving in the ones that hold you up
give you space where you can learn to love
all that you are

brick by brick and stone by stone
we'll tear this prison down and build you a home
where you don't need bars on the windows to your soul
and you can rest easy

so here I come to help you put it all back together
so here I come talling you it's ok to need another
my dearest friend it's the least I can do
someday soon I'm gonna need you too

Brick by Brick

How do I put into words
what you mean to me
it can't be summed up 
quite so easily

Known each other now 
for a few years
you've seen me laugh, seen me rage
seen me break down in tears

you've been there through 
the best and the worst
a quiet beer, a hearty cheer or
a hangover we can't cure

even when we've been 
far away
even when we don't talk 
every day

the next time that I see you
we will hug and we will smile
we'll have a tale to tell about
each and every mile

and so my friends until the end
you know you can count on me
cause after all you know you are
my chosen family

and come the time when we 
are withered and grey
we'll sit around and talk about
back in the day

through the years and the tears
through the smoke and through the fire
it's gonna be you and me
forget all of the others

Friendship #IMF-Songwriting-Blitz

I'm leaving tomorrow
and there's nothing left say
the words that I find have a habit of
getting lost along the way

I'm taking my memories
and a couple of your things
I hoping the memories of happier times
outlast the sorrow they bring

and there have been times
where I wish I died
lost in the wake
of some rich man's war

it put me at ease
to know you'd be cared for
unlike most men, I know down to the cent
what my sorry life is worth

I'm leaving tomorrow
and that's just the way it goes
even though your not mine anymore
it still feels like leaving you

so I'll wear my mask
and I'll play my worn out part
a man who's too strong to let
anything tear me apart

there have been times
where I wish I died
so I could pretend, that in the end
I was something that I'm not

but it's not the departure
that sets my mood to black
it's the living I do, knowing each day
that you're never coming back
