Street Fights
04:38
|

|
Lawless vandal on the run,
hinders my every move
As you’re reaching for your gun
my blood spits back on you
I wake up the same
more or less deranged
fists in my face
Street fights are starting to hurt
Street life is bringing me down
Cars that pass by all look away
they don't wanna see the mess we're in
A gut punch a side kick, I am now
here we are back on the road again
I wake up the same
day after day
Why cant things change?
Street lights are robbing me blind
We are in the garden
We are in the light
Hold on tighter darlin
they will will steal you in the night

The Aura Of Gospel
03:43
|

See, believe,
that all will fall
Down to the ground
can’t stop at all
I need some peace
I need it please
Gimme the light
in your room
The aura of gospel
Nights get so cold
hunters swarm around me
Liquors kiss
handcuffed bliss
still I swim while drowning
Turn on the light in your room
Amen
Can't feel anymore
I’m pulled under
pulled under
Cant see anymore

Tussle
03:22

When I was in 3rd grade
I learned how to fight
It happened during recess
playing a game I liked
And when the ball
hit me in the head
I saw red
Embarrassed I ran over
slugged that kid in the neck
I'm still fighting the same man
today
Always a tussle, in my head
Then came 5th grade
here comes another fight
They said I couldn't beat him
cause I was half his size
I never even let him swing
and when I watched him fall
I picked him up from off the ground and
shoved his head in the wall
No I can not win
when you hit the ground
Every swing or miss
I can't fix what I am now
Another time in High School
I got in brawl out with some friends
we were playing baseball
A guy started talking trash
and said I couldn’t hit
I ran over to second base
and I punched him in the lip

Super Rough Breakdown
04:29
|
|||
|
Took awhile for you to wake up
and notice where you sleep
Your head was being held down
in the water deep
But now you finally realized
this city has dragged you down
Start looking for your way out
there's none around
And I can't give you what you want
If I can't see what you see
When everything your building up
breaks down
it’s a super rough breakdown
The cops are down on the corner
the thieves they hide from the light
Tell the prostitutes at the border
just to stay out of sight
I used to think I was better
I used to think I was right
See there ain't no law and order
that will save us all tonight
And what you want
And what you need
And what you say
should be the same
When the world has no order
and nothing falls in line
I made all the wrong decisions
every single time
Then the final straw comes
crashing down as you make your way
It lands on your shoulders
with all the mistakes I’ve made

Black Eye On A Tiger
04:45
|
|||
|
Some slowly give up then they fade to grey
Some are also saying that they're so full of faith
There's a reason why they're never done
making up their minds
it's a vexing haul, to get through it all
We could pop some pills, make it all go away
Twenty five days there's no reason to pray
I don't think this is the way our lives should go down
Cause we don’t understand, what happens when
I'm fascinated enough with you
That you keep me holding on
The final cut, the final stance,
leaves me in a dark room
Feeling, like black eye on a tiger
everytime we catch up, I let go
I can't deal with the things you know
There's a reason why I always leave the things I found

Tell Me What You Want
03:10
|
|||
|
I've been wasting my time
all that I’ve had
I am losing my mind
my head’s on the floor forevermore
I have given you all that I had
But with a slam of the door
you've driven me mad now I'm sad
Tell me what you want
You have taken it all, all of my love
Unrelenting you told
you told me a lie so I can cry
There aren't words for it all that I feel
with a palm of your hand
You pushed me for real what the deal?
want it now?
So tell me now wishing to god you say you’re gonna miss me
Crossing my fingers that you say you're gonna kiss me
I got my fingers crossed you'll kiss me one more time
I can't take anymore

My Friends Are All Crazy
03:12
|
|||
|
My friends are all crazy,
They'd go out after dark
smokin drinking in the bars
all night long, they're the wild ones
My friends are all crazy
They'd go out to a show
choppin lines, doing blow
nights are long
they're the wild ones
So don't ask me, for them, to leave again
cause they've always had my back
They've always had that
They'd go out to club
dance all night looking for love
and end up with nothing at all
And I say don't let this night go
and turn into another lonely tomorrow
with no one to call
Cause I've seen all the trouble they bring

It's the thing you can't tame
standing in your way
You'll never get passed
So you’re turning around
but this thing hunts you down
Back where the standoff began
And all they'll say when a fool is fooled
Is you let the worst of you run through
And all they'll say when cool ain’t cool
Is you let the best of you hideaway
It’s the endless test of time
fight for your mind
Mountains you must climb
With every chance and choice
find your own voice
No condemnation lasts

Here In Oakland
04:29
|
|||
|
I can't see clearly
here in Oakland
I can't leave even though I need
to find a new home
The fog is thick
I remember this with us
A girl like you should not have
been stuck with this mistrust
But the torrid feelings still get me
and they always will
If I can't save you
from the wolves tonight
Just sit baby ‘til I arrive
Here in Oakland
I can't buy drinks for my friends
The ones I’ve lost
the ones can't make amends to

The Fêted One
01:30
|

You gonna be the one
whose back’s against the wall
determined not to crawl
You gonna be the one
who stands in front of a crowd
and tells them they're all wrong
Gonna be the one
sometimes
