Mistakes Made

Life's no joke to scoff at
The things you do reflect on you
Who are you reflects on that
Of what you build through what you do
Mistakes I've made ain't gone away
Just made way for another day
I'll make some more along the way
But that's how you learn not to stay
Down and out just ain't the way
When you fall down you dust yourself off
Look around and give a cough
Laugh at yourself keep on moving
Pay a little more attention to what your doing
Mistakes I've made ain't gone away
Just made way for another day
I'll make some more along the way
But that's how you learn not to stay
Down and out just ain't the way
I may be poor but I want more
I ain't mad (at) the guy next door
Working hard is all I know how to do
Maybe one day I'll make it through
Mistakes I've made ain't gone away
Just made way for another day
I'll make some more along the way
But that's how you learn not to stay
Down and out just ain't the way
I know it's so much easier to be a victim
To have those wounds and just lick them
But don't you go blaming the stars
You should be proud of your scars
Suffering gives way to bliss
If you can just make it through this

The Race

The race is never done you better keep on trucking
'Till the race is done there's no ducking out
Keep on running
Stand your ground
Don't back down
Deaths only a clown
Fears always coming round
'Till you stand up and beat it down

Nowhere to Run
04:29

I see you running son but you ain't got nowhere to run to
Nowhere to run to
Better lace them sneakers up tight for where you running to
For where you run to
Your mamma's calling for ya ain't nowhere for you to run to
Nowhere to run to
Birds fly to the sky
Taking flight as you pass by
Shadows dancing on your face
Running your eternal race
Fluttering feathers this is running weather
Pull the lever on the escape bevel
Ups and downs
Smiles and frowns
Don't look up or you might drown
Looking down on covered ground
Only to turn around
Turn around

Song of Prey

Run free
Run free
Run away
Can't you see the way in front of you
Unfolding to be
Free from everything
No way of knowing where you're going now
Just following instinct
Down hill
Feel the chill
Of the kill
Hanging over your head
Instead of giving in you keep on going
Knowing that death is showing you his head
Oh well what's the worse you could end up dead
The path is narrowing the
Steeps are harrowing to your brittle veins
There's no escaping from that
You run the choice is done
Its all up in the air from now on
Run free
Run free
Run away
Can't you see the way in front of you
Unfolding to be free

Hazy Memories
03:50
|

Loss of detail
Life's a blur
Speeches slur
Turning and churning to foam
In the microphone
What's this dial tone
There's no one home to hear the ringing
I used to know what happened
Life control
It all unrolls
To frayed strings
It's nothing but a tangled mess
It's all distressed
Leads to emptiness
Down low in the soul
I remember
Maybe not
What is it
Oh just forget it
But I can still see the way it was
I need it
I have to feel it
But it's just out of touch

Know the Way
04:33
|

I used to know the way
But now I've gone astray
Too far out of the way
It used to be bright every day
But now I'm lost in the shade
Colors have all gone grey
The heat used to just roll off my back
But now I'm sweating it out
Can't figure what it's all about
Life used to be such a breeze
But now I'm down on my knees
Begging you oh lord please
Show me, won't you show me the way

Just When You Think
03:31

So just when you think you know something
The world up and changes on you
You never know what tomorrow will bring
Your mother will always be there for ya
Maybe your friends too
No matter how the world beats up on ya
There'll always be someone who cares for you
So just when you think you know something
The world up and changes on you
You never know what tomorrow will bring
Then there's times when you find yourself out in the cold
With nowhere go
It's not hard to find
Its easily sold
The cheap trick of control
But it's okay sometimes to be cold
So just when you think you know something
The world up and changes on you
You never know what tomorrow will bring
And when the storms beat you down
It's easy to drown
But if you can pick your head up
You'll see some wondrous stuff
So just when you think you know something
The world up and changes on you
You never know what tomorrow will bring

The End
08:40
|
|||
|
Once
Once there was a way
In which
I saw the world
But it's
So different now
Have you
Have you ever been lied too
And woke up
To see the light
Doesn't it hurt your eyes
Roll down the window
Throw out a price of trash
Off slips your diamond ring
It's easy to lose a precious thing
There's nothing
Nothing you can do
That hasn't been done
Nothing new from anyone
The end is sure to come...
Poem:
The world was a buzz
Filled with a long and breathless silence
The electric buzzing
Anxiety of an ever impending doom
The only thing left
Yet all she saw were the daisies
Blowing back and forth
Silhouetted by the brilliant blue
Overhead the impending doom moving ever closer
Frozen fear is all there is
Yet she feels the sun on her face and the daises
The daisies are dancing for her
