They were Doolin
Doolin-Dalton
High or low
It was the same
Easy Money
And faithless women
Redeye whiskey for the pain

Go down Bill Dalton it must
Be God’s will
Two brothers lying dead in
Coffeeville

Two voices call to you from
Where they stood
Lay down your law books now they’re
No damn good

You better keep on moving
Doolin-Dalton
Until your shadow sets you free
If you’re fast
And if you’re lucky
You will never see the hanging tree

The towns lay out across the dusty plains
Like graveyards filled with tombstones
Waiting for their names
Dealing death some men found their fame
Some just went stir crazy Lord, cuz nothing ever changed

Until Bill Doolin
Met Bill Dalton
He was working cheap
Just biding time
Then smiled and said I’m going
As he left his peaceful life behind

Doolin-Dalton

Doolin - Dalton

The view from up here
Was always nice
I could see you all down there
Living your lives
Colorful and warm

But it got cold up here long
Before I showed you winter
Because he never

Woke Up
This father of mine
And I stayed here

You brought me down
And showed me a new world
Then you tried like hell to
Make me one of you it
Was something I could never be

Then it got cold down here from
All of these evil stares where were you
Why couldn’t you
Save me
This love of mine
He never
Woke Up
This father of mine
I had to run

Drifting
Slowly
Down on you
All my love for you
I wanted you to

Save me
This love of mine
He never
Woke Up
This father of mine
I had to run

The pieces of me
Are all gathering
At my Feet
And I can’t help but feel
I should know some fear
But the reasons are far from clear
So please forgive me

I never got my head around it
And I didn’t know the difference
I couldn’t quite put it together
Without some sort of reference
But now it’s too late
It’s way too late

But now I know
Oh, but now I know
Oh, I think I finally know

Everything is blurry
I can’t move my feet
I’m in a dream left behind
With rain replacing clear skies
And it washes my eyes
But it can’t clean the mess left inside

But now I know
Oh, but now I know
Oh, I think I finally know

Lessons

Say anything you want.
Throw it out in the air.
Then you can crawl back inside, from where you came
Cutting all ties with reality
Bleeding that nothing more can be done
It's a fallacy
and you know if you don't start looking
You'll never see

Pause
Take some time
To look around you
And be

Amazed by
All that surrounds you
Please don't hide
No one here will harm you
Rest your head
Go to sleep
And Dream
Free
Fall asleep

Safe

1st single released from #2

Movements kick up dust.
A tiny fallout.
Each breath an explosion.
An aftermath of the day.

I'm standing in the road.
All the stars are shooting by.
I think heaven is coming down.
I'll be left here wondering why.

{the rain keeps pouring down X2}

When the last one has fallen,
all the lights begin to dim.
Something much bigger than us is dying,
And it's all because we can choose.

Oh, what did we choose.
We were fools.
All of this frustration, the growing aggravation,  to say it hurts an understatement.
This is unnecessary, yeah I know it's scary, but the truth is that we're losing every single thing we've ever meant.

I'm standing in the road.
All the cars are screaming by.
Someone grab me I'm fading out.
And you'll all be wondering why.

When the Night Fell

B-Side cover of the Cars song "Drive"

Who's gonna tell you when it's too late
Who's gonna tell you things aren't so great

You can't go on thinking nothing's wrong, but bye
Who's gonna drive you home tonight?

Who's gonna pick you up when you fall
Who's gonna hang it up when you call
Who's gonna pay attention to your dreams
Who's gonna plug their ears when you scream

You can't go on thinking nothing's wrong, but bye
Who's gonna drive you home tonight?

Who's gonna hold you down when you shake
Who's gonna come around when you break

You can't go on thinking nothing's wrong, but bye
Who's gonna drive you home tonight?

Drive (Cover, Feat. Rob Zimmerman)

Revel the calm
The end was here and gone
The streets are all empty and the
Buildings hollow from
Bleak destruction leaving scars
Where what once was us
But the world is still here
So we must
Get back up

This is no time to lose control
It seems somehow you’ve lost it all
There is no blood on your hands
So why can’t we just let it go

Revel the calm
Try to take it in
Maybe some patience will help us
Get through all of this
Just take your time
I know it’s looking grim
But you’re not alone anymore no
I’m right here

This is no time to lose control
It seems somehow you’ve lost it all
There is no blood on your hands
So why can’t we just let it go

I can feel your rage
Coming over me
Like a wave
Cold and hostile
My damage has been repaired
My destruction
Rebuilt
And replaced
Becoming something new

This is no time to lose control
It seems somehow you’ve lost it all
There is no blood on your hands
So why can’t we just let it go

Last Ones

Little Nixon used to think about the things he never should
Hurricanes and tidal waves
The end of the world
He was sure he had a way to save us all
But he didn’t have the words
All he could do was draw

Page after page
To try and explain
But no one would listen No
They would just say

You’re too small to save the world
Why don’t you play with all the boys and girls
Those things might come someday, but
For now run and play

Little Nixon wasn’t so
Little anymore
He learned to keep quiet or he’s be locked up for sure
What a way to say thank you
For trying to save us
Day after day
He had to refrain
Cuz no one would listen no
No, this is the end

There’s no need to save the world
Humanity gone would cure the earth
Shaking us off like a disease
I wish I could leave

When the angels are all gone
And your souls are being erased
You will be judged the way that you did me
It can’t come soon enough

To take away all this pain
Just you wait and see
You will all see
That your cruelty
It bought you passage
To your own end
Oh God you did this to yourselves
There’s no way to save the world
You’ve all been so damn absurd
Just one minute of your time to take me serious

Little Nixon

Tomorrow will come
Led by the sun
It will light the way
For this path we’ve made
No matter if we’re ready or not
Is there something more
To all these things we’re searching for
Cuz I’m holding out
For something bigger
Than myself
Are there still things in this world worth dying for
Cuz I would kill for just one good damn reason

Tomorrow will come
Led by the sun
It will light the way
For this path we’ve made
No matter if we’re ready or not
Is there something more
To all these things we’re searching for
Cuz I’m holding out
For something bigger
Than myself
Are there still things in this world worth dying for
Cuz I would kill for just one good damn reason

Don’t look away now
I want you to see this
It might come crashing down
And I need a witness
So they believe it
When it rips me from these clouds

Cuz I’m holding out
For something bigger
Than myself
Are there still things in this world worth dying for
Cuz I would kill for just one good damn reason

Distending

I could lay down and die, but that wouldn’t be enough for you
My words are lazy on the wind. 
Words have gone unheard
By You
Perhaps if I just sit and think I could come up with something
More to do
Maybe we could just forget
All the stupid shit
We’ve been through

Or is it all a waste of time
Breathing you in is making me die

You’re relentless
On the way that you rip me up
Into pieces
You don’t even know what you’ve done
Maybe you just
Don’t care

The Effort

Everything about picard is somewhat bipolar. It was never intended to be, but is. The music is serious and heartfelt, their attitudes are not. The band is known for being sarcastic, easy going and constantly joking. Somehow out of that group comes something serious and gripping. It has been said that the members of picard have inner adults trying to escape.
