KILL NO BIRDS WITH ENDLESS STONES.
I WISH I COULD GO WHERE THEY HAVE FLOWN.
WHERE DOES IT SAY THIS HAS TO BE?
PEOPLE SMILE AND MAKE BELIEVE. 

RELAX AND LOOK AT THE WIRE.
STEP BACK THAT’S JUST THE COVER FIRE.
KEEP YOUR EYES DOWN ALWAYS LOOK TO THE GROUND,
NOW DON’T YOU FEEL SAFE AND SOUND?

THE EYES YOU CAN’T SEE, SEE THE THINGS YOU FEAR.
LOCK THE DOOR, ALARM IS ON
REST YOUR HEAD, THE FEAR IS GONE.

CHORUS

FORCE A SMILE JUST TO BE SURE.
TO BE WATCHED IS TO BE SECURE.
SEE THE SHAME AND SMASH IT DOWN.
IT HEARS FOR YOU, IT’S HERE FOR YOU

CHORUS X 2

STAY

I DON'T WANNA HAVE TO FEEL LIKE THIS.
DON'T WANNA RESIST THESE FEELINGS,
EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THEY'RE WRONG.
DON'T WANNA BE WITHOUT YOUR HAND IN MINE,
'CAUSE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO VERY LONG.

YOU'RE NOT IN A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN TAKE THIS ON.
I CAN'T SIT AND PRETEND. 
SHOULD I JUST MOVE ON?

WILL IT EVER BE OKAY?
WILL YOU EVER TURN AROUND AND STAY?
WILL IT EVER BE THE TIME, FOR YOU AND I?

SO. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO,
WHEN ALL THE PIECES START TO FALL
SPIRALING AROUND ME?
HOW COULD I HAVE EVER THOUGHT THAT WE COULD EVER BE?
ALL I KNOW IS I WOULD GIVE YOU ALL OF ME...

YOU'RE NOT IN A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN TAKE THIS ON.
I CAN'T SIT AND PRETEND, I KNOW I CAN'T  MOVE ON. 
ARE WE IN A PLACE, WHERE WE CAN TAKE THIS ON?
CAN WE SIT AND PRETEND OR SHOULD WE JUST MOVE ON ?

WILL IT EVER BE OKAY?
WILL YOU EVER TURN AROUND AND STAY?
WILL IT EVER BE THE TIME, FOR YOU AND I?

HOW MANY PEOPLE TRIED TO TELL YOU
THAT YOU SHOULD WALK AWAY?
YOU NEVER LISTENED WHEN THEY TRIED TO TELL YOU,
NOW THEY SEE WHAT WE HAVE MADE.




WILL IT EVER BE OKAY?
WILL YOU EVER TURN AROUND AND STAY?
WILL IT EVER BE THE TIME, FOR YOU AND I?

WILL IT EVER BE OKAY?
WILL IT EVER BE THE TIME?

Stay

It’s all just magic here.
None of this shit is real.
Created all you see.
The truth is chosen to reveal.

I did this all myself,
I made it my own way.

I’ll keep you here inside my head,
If I need you, I’ll make you reappear.
I don’t need you now,
So, I’ll keep you here inside my head.

Keep on believing it’s your twist.
If I can’t see, you don’t exist.
When I want you to be, you are…
Won’t have to look too far.

I did this all myself,
I did this without you.
a “you” I did create.
Thank me for your really good days.

I’ll keep you here inside my head
If I need you, I’ll make you reappear.
I don’t need you now,
So, I’ll keep you here inside x 2

Solo

I’ll keep you here inside my head
If I need you, I’ll make you reappear.
I don’t need you now,
So, I’ll keep you here inside
I’ll keep you here inside my head
If I need you, I’ll make you reappear.
I don’t need you now,
So, I’ll keep you here inside my head.

Inside My Head

When Whisky Whispers

The evening sun is shining
on all the houses in a row.
Looks like something from the fifties,
around the birth of rock and roll.
There’s a kid with basketball,
he’s dribbling down the crumbled street.
He won’t die in a drive-by,
but he might die serving overseas.

Got a church on every corner,
a bar on every block.
A homicide every year or two
and we’re all thrilled and shocked.

Here in the county, we read the good book every day.
Here in the county, the kids are all bored,
all the men are in the NRA.

We grew up with southern manners
and we’ve got a real mean streak.
We always stand up for the underdog
and then we step right over the weak.
We don’t have a racial problem
because we only have one race.
White as the stars on old glory...
Our blood’s as pure as our hate.

We’ll keep on giving till it hurts
then steal more than we gave.
We’re the best and we’re the worst,
we’re so lost we think we’re saved…

Here in the county, we read the good book every day.
Here in the county, the kids are all dopesick,
and all the men are in the NRA.

It's always safe to walk the streets.
When the day is over it feels like peace.
Just as long as you're not different,
just as long as you're discreet.

We prostitute ourselves for progress
and let it make us blind.
We can’t afford to be honest,
can’t afford to be left behind.

Here in the county, we read the good book every day.
Here in the county, the kids are all bored,
all the men are in the NRA.
Here in the county, we read the good book every day.
Here in the county, the kids are all dopesick,
and no one has a single thing to say.

The County

I HAD A DREAM THAT WOULDN’T SLEEP,
EVERY NIGHT IT CAME TO ME
VIOLET DARK AND OCEANS DEEP.
IT LEFT ME FEELING COLD…
A FARMER IN THE MORNING SUN
WORKING LIKE HIS FATHER’D DONE.
FOR AN HOUR HE WAS 21.
BUT HE MISSED BEING OLD…

A CHILD CLIMBS IN AN ANCIENT TREE
AND CONCENTRATES ON FLYING FREE
SHE’S IN THE AIR SO SUDDENLY
SHE FORGOT TO WAVE GOODBYE
A WOMAN LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY
AT A CLOWN THAT’S DANCING AT HER FEET
SHE TELLS HERSELF, “NOW THIS JUST CAN’T BE,
BUT I LIKE THE WAY HE SMILES AT ME.”

THERE’S A RIVER MANY SOULS HAVE SEEN
THAT FLOWS BETWEEN THIS WORLD AND DREAMS
THINKING IN FRAGMENTS AND UNCERTAINTY

THERE’S A RIVER MANY SOULS HAVE SEEN
THAT FLOWS BETWEEN THIS WORLD AND DREAMS
THINKING IN FRAGMENTS AND UNCERTAINTY
EVERYBODY LAUGHS AND PLAYS
AND GOLDEN LIGHTENING STRIKES ALL DAY
LIVING IN FRAGMENTS AND UNCERTAINTY

"Fragments and Uncertainty"

Jeannene, Jeannene, 
my sweet Jeannene...
Your sure are somthin', like nuthin' I've ever seen yeah.
Don't need no lipstick, just use your Vaseline yeah...
You're such a trip girl, when you're trippin' out my sweet Jeannene.

Jeannene, Jeannene, your feet are all black.
You're lookin' pretty tattered been sleepin' in a shack girl. 
You got the Kama Sutra tattooed on your back 
You're some kinda' crazy my sweet Jeannene

Jeannene, Jeannene, 
my sweet Jeannene...
You're such a sight child, like nuthin I've ever seen yeah.
You won't drink no whiskey, but you sniff your gasoline.
Light it up and blow your mind,
my sweet Jeanene...

“LOVE & MELODY”

You came into my life as love and melody
with music wrapped around you, holding on to me. 
Floating just beyond my reach, oh no not again…
But, my confession changed it all, forever friend...

I heard you in my head. That sweet, sweet harmony...

You're the only one I can hear singing.
You've always been the song that I hear through it all.
Love and melody shinin' bright through my window, 
and help me write a love song....

Our children’s din now fills this space with love and melody.
It comes from everywhere and fills this home for me.

You whisper in my ear and sing that sweet, sweet harmony...

You're the only one I can hear singing.
You've always been the song that I hear through it all.
Love and melody shinin' bright through my window, 
and help me write a love song from deep in my heart...

You're in every one of them, sometimes little pieces... 
A song, a day, a child, a life... You’ve made them all for me.
You came into my life as love and melody...

You're the only one I can hear singing.
You've always been the song that I hear through it all.
Love and melody shinin' bright through my window, 
and help me write a love song....
You're the only one I can hear singing.
You've always been the song that I hear through it all.
Love and melody shinin' bright through my window, 
and help me write a love song from deep in my heart...

Love & Melody

A liquid mind
designs its own black.
Take a dark ride
don’t ever come back.
You’ve severed all the ties,
now you wait for the train.
Decisions get made on the 
tracks that get laid.

Cannot surrender,
refusing to learn.
Before it all happened,
I should have been concerned…
Edit the story,
can’t heal the burns.
We should have all been concerned…

Questions of why
replace all the blame.
Scattered new actions
Erase all the pain

Cannot surrender,
refusing to learn.
Before it all happened,
I should have been concerned…
Edit the story,
can’t heal the burns.
Why weren’t we all so concerned…?

A liquid mind
designs its own black…

Grab The Handle

He always woke up early
‘cause he couldn’t sleep alone.
He drank a little whiskey 
while he stared at the telephone.
At first his foreman called him. He’d say, 
“Boy, when you comin’ in?”
His friends, they finally gave up
‘cause they knew he was givin’ in…

It’s the heart that knows what the eyes can’t hide.
It’s the heart that knows just how hard we try.

She learned her lesson early.
Every line that a man could use…
She made a split decision, don’t let ‘em
see whats inside of you.
At first she looked for money,
then she searched for love.
Then she looked in the mirror,
now she looks at the stars above.

It’s the heart that knows what the eyes can’t hide.
It’s the heart that knows just how hard we try.
It’s the heart that knows how the pride can lie.
It’s the heart that knows what the eyes can’t hide.

Someday they’ll be together, and their love will live.
This time they’ll do it better and have more light to give.

It’s the heart that knows what the eyes can’t hide.
It’s the heart that knows just how hard we try.
It’s the heart that knows how the pride can lie.
It’s the heart that knows what the eyes can’t hide… X 4
