Verse 1

This here makes me wanna drink, the drink leads to that other thing 

The other thing leads to sleepless nights and a week of not feeling right 

The dark cloud turned into a darker hole empty bottle and a bleeding nose 

Only got one dollar and some dirty clothes cause this is where my money goes

Driving fast down a short, short road

Verse 2

The bags are black under my eyes nose lit up like a Christmas light 

Mighta missed a few engagements could tell you what the day is 

The parties dwindled down to few but us that's left we know what to do 

Head down to the liquor store then order up a little more 

Driving fast down a short, short road

Chorus 

Burning out it sounds fine to me hit this fire with some gasoline

Better yet some rocket fuel fly me to the fuckin moon 

Destination nowhere gonna get there fast fueled by lines done off your ass 

in a dirty hotel room I see the end its gonna happen soon 

Driving fast down a short, short road

Verse 3

You got a problem with my solution wanna find a resolution 

Say find faith in the word of god but this sinner doesn't want his applause

I'm flying high never coming down paid for the ride so I'm going round

Till this shit spins off its axles crushes me and leaves me breathless

Driving fast down a short, short road

Chorus 

Burning out it sounds fine to me hit this fire with some gasoline 

Better yet some rocket fuel fly me to the fuckin moon  

Destination nowhere gonna get there fast fueled by lines done off your ass  

in a dirty hotel room I see the end its gonna happen soon  

Driving fast down a short..............road

 

Verse 1

Forced to live scattered minds distractions fill our time 

A prison of detached connections technology confined

Age of the working poor a great financial divide

But they don't get the pitchfork they've learned how to pacify 

Chorus 

Our lives our dreams are caught in the machine  

The lack of heart and the greed have brought us down to our knees  

They make themselves kings and queens by pawning off their dirty schemes 

I wanna hear the people scream and shake the chains of centuries 

 Verse 2  

Trade freedom for security keep masses terrified  

Misinformed by the media uniformed without  

It's hard to put to words but I'll try with my might 

Think we're staring at the real looked to long now we're losing sight

Chorus  

Our lives our dreams are caught in the machine   

The lack of heart and the greed have brought us down to our knees   

They make themselves kings and queens by pawning off their dirty schemes  

I wanna hear the people scream and shake the chains of centuries 

Solo

Chorus  

Our lives our dreams are caught in the machine   

The lack of heart and the greed have brought us down to our knees   

They make themselves kings and queens by pawning off their dirty schemes  

I wanna hear the people scream and shake the chains of centuries

Worn out Verse 1

Wake up from sleeping on the floor hear the devil he's a knockin on my door

I'm sorry not gonna sell my soul you can push on down on down the road

I gotta do this on my own got the plan got the drive yeah I got the goal

Work my fingers down to the bone a life of purpose is what I own 

I ain't worried my path I shape got the mind in line gonna catch them breaks

I'm ready to do what it takes get a little closer everyday

I know sometimes that the skies get grey but the dream makes it seem like a shiny day 

I'm grateful for support I've gained when I can I plan to repay

Chorus 

Soon you'll know you'll know just what I mean 

The world will hear they'll hear they gonna hear me sing

Verse 2

This show is ready for the road I can hear it calling so I got to go

I have to rock away roll gonna roam and ramble ramble and roam

I've been saving up to pay that toll gonna build mountain with the help of a mole

Worn out shoes and tattered clothes soon replace with a world with a world of gold

Chorus  

Soon you'll know you'll know just what I mean

The world will hear they'll hear they gonna hear me sing

Soon you'll know you'll know just what I mean

Verse 1

He said I'm sorry girl but but I have to leave

Said that you wanted someone wanted someone I can't be

I can't lie to you said an answer you need

It's just that's what I came to this is a change I can't bring 

Verse 2

She said don't worry boy from the start I could see 

That in matters of the heart much folly that lies in a dream

See I caught feelings quick and it's not fair to me

To have you hanging around then on a whim you would leave

Chorus

The calm it calms after the storm so just be

Sometimes the answer is you gotta leave

Verse 3

Amanda and Faith been going a while

Faith don't live up to her name no she's been fucking around

Amanda she knows but she don't know what to do

Thought that this house was a home now she's just thinking she's screwed

Chorus 

The calm it calms after the storm so just be 

Sometimes the answer is you gotta leave

Verse 4

It's easy said but very hard to do 

To find the truth in the lies when it's you lying to you 

To look inside is what we all must do 

Cause if you don't know yourself how can you ever be you 

Chorus 

The calm it calms after the storm so just be 

Sometimes the answer is you gotta leave

 

 

Verse 1

It's been a while since you could feel their touch 

It's been a while since they say you 

It's been a while and that's been long enough 

Living in this dark and gloom

Chorus

It's true that these times are tough

But chaos is what made us

We started and we'll end as dust 

The answers inside of us just gotta pull it out 

Verse 2

I know that I don't know much 

And I know less and less each day

But on this I'm sure enough 

You push to hard and things will break

But chaos is what made us 

We started and we'll end as dust  

The answers inside of us just gotta pull it out

Solo

But chaos is what made us 

We started and we'll end as dust  

The answers inside of us just gotta pull it out

 Verse 1

Travel this mountain road I don't know where to go 

Know it's been to long since I came and gone 

Trying to find a home I'm tired cold and alone

Worn out and tattered clothes cover my aching bones 

How did I get so lost searching for this cause

I need some levity from this insanity

Make this pain in me a distant memory 

Clear up this shit I'm seeing deep inside my being

Pre Chorus 

This soul is worn and battered 

From all of the constant battles 

But  I stand unfazed unrattled 

I will not be one of your chattel

Chorus 

I cannot see when eyes aren't open 

Won't forget the words you've spoken 

 Don't understand it's your lies that got you chokin

The shit your messing with is very potent

very potent and I'm not joking

Verse 2

Gotta get on the go and feed this rambling soul

Fortune favours the bold so I risk all I hold

Been led astray but it will be ok cause

Maybe todays the day that I will find my way 

I'm determined to the bone I'll use all I know

So I can break on free and defeat this enemy 

Be all I can be and if its the end of me 

Know that I could see through all your trickery 

Pre Chorus 

My nose picks up the smell your masking 

I see the monster your shadows casting 

I can hear the sirens calling me to my doom 

Have my mother ballin

Chorus 

Forget me now I'm dead and gone 

It's alright I didn't quite belong 

Don't worry cause life will go on 

Put some weight on me and sink me to the bottom 

Sink me to the bottom sink me to the bottom 

Solo 

Pre Chorus  

My nose picks up the smell your masking  

I see the monster your shadows casting  

I can hear the sirens calling me to my doom  

Have my mother ballin

It's alright I didn't quite belong  

Don't worry cause life will go on  

Put some weight on me and sink me to the bottom  

Sink me to the bottom sink me to the bottom 

Verse 1

Late night bonfire we hoot and holler

Down by the water we keep it going well past the roosters call

Have ourselves a ball

We'll keep it going with a pull from that mason jar 

Verse 2

It's getting hotter the days getting longer

The skirts get shorter and the boys jaws hang right to the ground

Now they're on the prowl 

They'll lick their wounds with a pull from the mason jar

Chorus

Summers here and we know it won't last forever

Winters long but we don't really mind that weather

Sun or snow we'll pull from that mason jar

Solo

Let's go where it's wilder lets take it higher

We'll jump the fire inspired by these feelings of love

Surrender to them all 

With hearts full we'll pull from that mason jar 

Chorus 

Summers here and we know it won't last forever 

Winters long but we don't really mind that weather 

Sun or snow we'll pull from that mason jar

Sun or snow we'll pull from that mason jar

With hearts full we'll pull from that mason jar

 

Verse 1 

You're in my dreams 

The first thing I see when I'm waking 

I'm praying on my knees 

Grateful for how I got so lucky 

I'm giddy 

Chorus 

These words wouldn't have come without you 

I promise I'm honest when I say I love you

They'll soon see

Verse 1

It's hard to let go when your holding on so tight

Wanna right the wrongs that you did that night

But things they fell away they trickled through your hands

And you can't repair the things you've broken, the things you've broken

Verse 2

Now all the pieces are laying on the floor

The trash is building up in your little hole

You place is cluttered cluttered like your mind

But you can't clean it up because of what you'll find, because of what you'll find

Solo

Verse 3

Couldn't break it down so you've broken down 

Lying in your bed no one comes around

You feel so alone but you won't make a change

Cause you think something is wrong with your brain, wrong with your brain

Verse 1 

I got questions can't find the answers 

So I'll sing what's in my soul 

There is pain there but also laughter 

From true feelings of joy 

Chorus 

Oooooo ooo ooo ooo ooooo 

Oooooooo ooo ooo ooooooo 

Verse 2 

Well I guess I'll keep on living 

My life the best I can 

I don't know how long I got here 

Times the precious thing we spend 

Chorus 

Oooooo ooo ooo ooo ooooo 

Oooooooo ooo ooo ooooooo 

Verse 3 

All those years pack in a moment 

All that time and effort spent 

It feels better when your climbing 

Than it does on the decent 

Chorus 

Oooooo ooo ooo ooo ooooo 

Oooooooo ooo ooo ooooooo 

Verse 4 

I'm not waiting for tomorrow 

I'll do what I can today 

Not getting wrapped up in all these problems 

I created in my head 

Chorus 

Oooooo ooo ooo ooo ooooo 

Oooooooo ooo ooo ooooooo 

Solo

Verse 5 

Well this life it is a mystery 

The only constant here is change 

I embrace all of the discomfort 

I have everything I need

Oooooooo ooo ooo ooooooo 

Aaaaa aaa aaa aaa aaaa 

Oooooooo ooo ooo ooooooo

Verse 1 

Blanket comes down covers the earth 

It don't stay as long I don't know if you heard 

It's getting warmer and I'm needing the cold 

I still remember those high piles of snow 

Chorus 

Gonna miss that cold northern wind 

Verse 2 

Look back with nostalgia on days of your youth 

But memories are faulty they might not be the proof 

Current perspective may get in the way 

Lifes not in the meaning its the actions you take 

Chorus 

Gonna miss that cold northern wind 

Solo 

Verse 3 

If you want a new present you must change what you do 

The start will be hard but if you push through 

You'll be rewarded through small steady gains 

Build like tiny snow flakes out the window frame 

Chorus 

Gonna miss that cold northern wind 

Gonna miss that cold northern wind
