There he goes walking down the road
His youth behind but still a long way to go
Heart beats heavy cause it’s hard to know
He’s a man with nothing to show

Was it worth it?

There’s no reason and there’s no excuse
Nothings harder than to swallow the truth
Stay the path or change the route
He’s man with nothing to prove

Was it worth it?

A Shadow of doubt drags you down
There’s no way to know if you’ll hold out
Second chances and circumstances
They’ve never ever helped you break out
And all that’s left is your blood and sweat

He spent ten years living in a van
Where Every night he had to front for the fans 
You’ve got to know before you understand
But he’s a man with nothing to plan 

Was it worth it?

A Shadow of doubt drags you down
There’s no way to no if you’ll hold out
Second chances and circumstances
They never ever helped you break out
And all that’s left is your blood and sweat

Now he wonders what could have been
If he’d roll the dice or took the wheel for a spin
It takes a certain kind of discipline 
But he’s a man with nothing to win 

Was it worth it?

A Shadow of doubt drags you down
There’s no way to no if you’ll hold out
Second chances and circumstances
They never ever helped you break out
And all that’s left is your blood and sweat

Blood and Sweat

If I could start over I’d never stop
But I’m not going anywhere so I’ll just sit here and rot
Late at night I drink too much caffeine 
That’s when I feel alive, a dead beat addicted to the screen
Red eyed and high

The news from my social feed is another catastrophe 
But I don’t really give a shit so I pretend not to see it
Cause It’s so hard to be a human being
It’s so exhausting to exist, a dead beat questions everything
Sometimes it’s hard to resist

The world keeps spinning but I cannot keep up
This overwhelming panic is a punch in the gut
One day I won’t wake up, have I done enough?
Nobody ever remembers ashes and dust

Here everyone’s the same and my head is occupied
But if it wasn’t so fucking hard maybe I’d go outside
So I’ll just sit at home and write these stupid songs
With simple melodies, a dead beat’s not afraid to die alone
Is this my legacy?
Who needs a legacy 

The world keeps spinning but I cannot keep up
This overwhelming panic is a punch in the gut
One day I won’t wake up, have I done enough?
Nobody ever remembers ashes and dust

Dead Beat

Paint it black
Plays on the jukebox at the Ten Cat
Just pour me a glass
Of something heavy like my heart
This time of year’s so hard

Cause I can’t help if I can’t tell if I’m okay
And I don’t care if I’m not careful with what I’m sayin’
Cause I’m confused and scared to death 
That everyone I love has left me
So I’ll try to fill the void at the empty bottle

On the tv’s a fight
But I chase the lights as they dance around me
I pay my tab
Take a drink and call a cab
This town is such a drag 

I can’t help if I can’t tell if I’m okay
And I don’t care if I’m not careful with what I’m sayin’
Cause I’m confused and scared to death 
That everyone I love has left me
So I’ll try to fill the void at the empty bottle

Snow falls slow
The ground is shining like a diamond
You used to hold me back
If I held my head too high, honey
I think I miss you bad 

I can’t help if I can’t tell if I’m okay
And I don’t care if I’m not careful with what I’m sayin’
Cause I’m confused and scared to death 
That everyone I love has left me
So I tried to fill the void at the empty bottle

Drag Town

He came around 
Said, “Brother, Hi”
And out reached his hand that searched for mine 
But I’m not your brother 
So don’t call me brother 
He took my hand in his and said
“Don’t worry buddy, I won’t bite”
But I’m not your buddy
So don’t call me buddy

I saw a smile upon his face
Teeth was shining in the night 
I’m kind of scared now
Why did you scare me now
I saw the fire come out his eyes 
Flames like blood boiling bright 
I felt my heart stop
Why didn’t I stop

I pulled away to his surprise
Asked what he wanted, he replied:
“I think you know what”
But I don’t want to know what
So I turned around and tried to leave 
He grabbed my shoulder and so I screamed 
How dare you touch me
Don’t fucking touch me

I felt his laugh deep in my bones
Guttural, rumbling, ill-disposed
Where are you going?
Where’d you think you’re going?
I felt the cold under his breath 
A callous whisper that reeked of death
But Im not ready 
Please, I’m not ready

In darkness he waits
For one day to meet you

I fell down to my knees
I begged for mercy and pleaded
I’m still young though
But I’m still young though
He said you don’t get to decide
Just like your father it’s time to die
I’m not my father
But I’m not my father

The shadows sting as my eyes wept
My body’s dripping icy sweat 
I’m so cold now
Why’s it so cold now
My life flashed before my eyes
Lost memories I’ve tried to hide
It wasn’t worth it
I wasn’t worth it

In darkness he waits
For one day to meet you

When He Comes Around

Flesh and bone
Cage fragile souls
Words like stones can shatter hearts 
A solo show
The fork in the road
When eating crow try not to choke 

I’m feeling calm in the chaos 

Wake and bake 
Bend don’t break
Make mistakes made honestly
It’s a curtain call
Like a cannonball 
No peace could stall what’s always been

I’m feeling calm in the chaos

Cut and claw
Bleeding raw
Hem and haw and fuck it all
In crimson eyes
I see your disguise 
But you can try to hide your doubt

I’m feeling calm in the chaos

Ebb and flow
give up the ghost 
Or make the most of what you’ve got
A quiet war
In silence mourned 
Life’s a whore and I’m worn out

Calm In The Chaos

Rivers rush and thunder
Children play in pools
Flowers bloom in colors
Searchers find their truths
But in all this joyful wonder
I play the bitter fool
Oh, how easy summer
Can bear a rotten fruit

Boulevards of palm trees
Feeders for bluebirds
Fishers catch from the sea
And readers find their words
But look past sympathy
I see my sights are blurred
Oh, how easy thirty
Can leave my youth interred

Oceans bathe in sunlight
Burners bask in smoke
Drinkers hold their cups high
And family find their folk
But under all this blue sky
I am the poison oak
Oh, how easy goodbyes
Can suffocate and choke

Twists of the tongue with silvery spin
Spun around in mouths wherein
Holding fast the fleeting words 
Long for truths and hearts unstirred

The Future Blood
