Lyrics to The Dirge :
Well I've been standing here for oh so long
I get so tired of the same old songs of change
Who's changing

My time's been paid sure as hell ain't free
But inspiration is sold separately through these beer
soaked tears

Where's the life I wanted
Where's the life I wanted
Where's the life they promised me

Lyrics to Backyard :
Down Hearted man where do you come from
You're troubled by the world and your situation
How can you justify what's so clear in your eyes
The operator is gone

Through all your contemplation you still don't understand
That the plight of your life was built by your own hands
How can you navigate the maze in your medicated haze
While the operator is gone

[Chorus:]
You've got the cure for your disease growing in your backyard, whoa
You've got the answers that you need right up in your backyard, whoa

Downtrodden man how do you feel right
You complicate it through your western made sight
How can you justify what's so clear in your eyes
That you don't wanna go on

Through all your contemplation you haven't found a way
To your own salvation the start of a new day
I know you feel the pain as you walk alone
And you just wanna go home

[Chorus]

So Think of your true self, break it down
Remember there's still hope that can be found
Hold on to the dream that once was so clear
and let go of your fear

Realize that this is one train you can't get off
Your dependency grows as your mind gets soft
Unlock the doors and let your soul back in
and wake up wake up wake up

[Chorus]

You got the cure, you got the cure, you got the cure,
You got the cure, you got the cure, you got the cure
To wake up wake up wake up

Lyrics to State Of Mind :
I feel the heat, the fire that burns
Deep in my soul, as this hair-rat returns
No one around to hear me cry out
Open my mouth, but I can't make a sound

I feel the weight of the world sometimes
Hanging on my head, whoa
Look for the light at the end of this tunnel once again

I'm talking bout the right state of
The right state of
The right state of your mind

Fit for the worst, I can't catch my breath
My heart beats to the sound of unrest
Pull strings and I, my thoughts are so low
Reach out my hand, but there's no one to hold

We walk alone through this strange life
It can be so cold sometimes, whoa
Just close my eyes and remember
If you search you just might find

I'm talking bout the right state of
The right state of
The right state of your mind

I feel the weight of the world sometimes
Hanging on my head, whoa
Look for the light at the end of this tunnel once again

I'm talking bout the right state of
The right state of
The right state of your mind

Lyrics to Today :
Woke up this morning at the end of another bottle I don’t know what’s really going on
My hands are shaking my heads reminding me that last night I must of have had some fun
I've been here so many times you get used to the pain
But I don’t want to play these self destructive games, once again I will say

Today will be the day
Today I'm gonna change

Locked inside another damn day wonderin' just how I’m gonna turn my life around
Throw me a rope somethin’ to save me cause I’m sailing on a ship that’s goin' down
So lift me off my feet and hang me up to dry (whoa-a-o)
nothing around the clock but I’ll give it one more try

Today will be the day
Today I’m gonna change
Today will be the day that I’ll give it up;
I’ll just give in, and let a brand new life begin

It’s getting late and I see the lines there, I’ll be tempted once again
Shining bright like a thousand little lights
all just beggin' me to come on in for one It’s not gonna kill me

Today will be the day
Today I’m gonna change
Today will be the day
Today I’m gonna change
Today will be the day
Today I’m gonna change

Lyrics to Without You :
I feel like I'm running in place
Sometimes I just need a little room to breathe
And I can't run for cover or seek from
another every little thing I need

I said you're there for the good times for the bad times
And for the mid tempo days
But there is nothing that I've been through yet
Where the voice inside of me didn't say

[Chorus:]
Without you
Without you
There is nothing to hold on to
And the morning won't come
Without you

I know there's days when
I don't try hard enough for you girl
And every moment I can't always be there
And your love that I've been stealing well
I hope you know I'm feeling
That through all of this I really care

I said I move to the left side
And to the right side
Or anyway that you choose
Because the way that you make me feel
You know I never want to lose

[Chorus]

Oh when I wake up in the morning baby
and I see you lying next to me
There ain't nothing in the world going to take away my
pain and come and set me free

[Chorus 2x]

Lyrics to Reflections :
I'm lost again out on the highway
Searching for answers that I fear
And it couldn't be much clearer
When objects in the mirror are closer than they appear
My mind is definitely twisted can't let go of the past
And there's no one left to blame
when the lights all look the same
And reflections disappear so fast
Road signs ahead are long overdue
Now there's direction to let go is on you
Let go let go child

The stars hang bright above the mountain
While the sun gently sleeps in the sea
I will keep my eyes ahead let what's done
be done be dead
And release the pressure haunting me
Dark cold night back in the distance
with a brand new day up ahead
I will keep my dream alive
Forward I will strive
So reflections can't catch up with me
Let go let go child
Let go

Lyrics to Lay Your Head Down :
There’s a devil outside of your window and it’s waiting for a piece of you
And you’re just so beaten down these days there’s nothing that you can do
Well as soon as the sun will shine again while the night just begs for more
Your purgatory waits for you when you walk outside that door
While the dead pasts by on the sidewalk as hollow as they come
And I cannot see a sign of light when cornered where they’re from
When they seem so unaffected by these streets that flow with pain
There’s no love on our way and I know I feel the same
Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Lay your head down
There’s an angel next door in the ballroom arms open full of grace
Well I did detect strong spirits there in my glass I found the same
Well the world don’t seem so bad no more when you’re basking in her light
For a moment we are living while the dead can’t stay outside
Well I’m just hooked on a feeling I’m flying on the wings of escape
While the neon lights protect me while reality’s kept at bay
Well I hope to just don’t matter when there’s angels in your eyes
I belong and feel needed in a world that’s filled with lies
Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Lay your head down

Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Lay your head down

Lyrics to Tired Bones :
I see your face your crimson eyes
Your sultry sin that devilish grin reflected in your guise
And with a hesitant hand I will taste it if I can
Not knowing what it takes to be a man
So play on just play on
I've seen it all before so count me in
I hope this night justifies to let go of all I hide
Release my inhibitions in your sin

Well it's 1 2 3 you the world and me
question what's it supposed to mean
Well like it or not this crazy life is all we got
Objective has yet to be seen
So take me out give me your energy
From the inside and just break me down
Wake me up and take my memory
It's mutiny all around these tired bones I'm coming home

We're lost again by new design
So wrap me up and fill my cup with sedatives and wine
I don't know what we have created
but now we're inundated
With all that's wrong so lets enjoy the ride
There's something in the way you move me
There's something in the way so count me in

Lyrics to Coyote :
Born on the wrong side of opportunity
Bled from my hands and my heart for the country
But I've lost all hope and I can't stay
Because in my dreams I swear she says my name
She's calling out her voice rings so proud
She's calling out entranced by the sound

I take one last walk down to the shore
Mi vista siena siempre mi amor
Because tomorrow don't know where I'll be
I'll take my chances with the coyote

Lyrics to Coyote :
Born on the wrong side of opportunity
Bled from my hands and my heart for the country
But I've lost all hope and I can't stay
Because in my dreams I swear she says my name
She's calling out her voice rings so proud
She's calling out entranced by the sound

I take one last walk down to the shore
Mi vista siena siempre mi amor
Because tomorrow don't know where I'll be
I'll take my chances with the coyote

Lyrics to Don't Go :
I saw your face in a photo today
Took me back to a time that I loved so
One thing remains that still gives me pain
The fact that I never got to say don't go

Don't go

Dark days fell upon this town that year
I remember the sordid talk and tears
A scarlet letter was sewn onto you long ago
But the way you felt no one will ever know
Turn on the radio and that song would play
Oh how the irony when I look back on that day

Don't go

Late at night you would tell me that it would all be fine
Realized that our doubts weren't just mine
We would sit and contemplate just what to do
But I never thought it would be without you

Don't go

Now you're gone so I'll say our lives you changed
And I know my friend that I'll see you once again

Lyrics to Pyramid Scheme :
Walking through the badlands taking in the scenery
The beasts are salivating to the fresh scent of the week
They're moving in with a penetrating grin
Sliding through your backdoor
while your babies are asleep
We're walking blind with wool over our eyes
Now if we don't think about it will it go away

Because they're taking what they want not what they need
Hang us out to dry so the wolves can feed
You can see it in their eyes filled up with greed
And we are all left sucking at the end of this pyramid scheme

Running through this nightmare but I'm wide awake
I hear the footsteps in the dark
and it's more than I can take
They're rising up from the depths to fill their cup
Never to the top because it never is enough
They want it all no matter what the cost is
If we don't think about it will it go away

Lyrics to Souls For Sale :
There's something different in the world today
Looking for the words but I can't explain
I feel the worst is drawing near, feeding on our fear
Another cry from a broken home
Another soul that will walk alone
I said just one more life that will be swept away
And this is the price we pay

[Chorus:]
From the hills of California to the streets of Berlin
to the clubs in London town
Tell me where our souls have gone
and where can they be found
All the way to Venezuela down to Sao Paulo
then back up to Montreal
Tell me where have our souls gone
and where they can be found

Picked up the paper and I read this morning
Another twenty people dead no warning
Bombs go off and ignite the hate globally
It perpetuates the air is thick and the skies are burning
As the war machine keeps on turning
Just one more life that will be swept away
and this is the price we pay

[Chorus]

We drop a rhythm so we feel alright
Open our minds so we let in the light
I wanna feel love I wanna feel love I want to feel it tonight
We keep it moving so we don't get lost
Release the pressure so our our hearts don't pop
Keep looking forward to a brand new day
Where we don't have to say

[Chorus]

Lyrics to Riding For A Fall :
Someday someone will make you cry yeah, yeah
Then you’ll gonna have tear drops in your eyes no, no
So go ahead and have your fun girl
Don’t you know I'm still in love with you girl
Go ahead and have yourself a ball
You’re riding for a fall (watch it)

(You’re riding for a fall)
(Riding for a fall, riding for a fall, riding for a fall)
(You’re riding for a fall)

Lyrics to Whatcha Gonna Do :
Layin' awake again and I don't know what's happening
I'm setting sail on unknown seas
and I'm haunted by insecurities
I'm standing on the edge of dream
Colliding with the light of this real life scene
And I don't feel a thing until the pain comes
And when it's all said and done would I just cut and run
Sometimes I'm so numb I don't know
If it happened tonight would I stand and fight
or would I just let go

[Chorus:]
Whatcha gonna do when it's on you boy
Whatcha gonna say when it's no no more
Whatcha really gonna do when it's all through boy
Whatcha gonna say when it's over now

Maybe it's the time of the year
but I don't feel my soul shine
Locked up inside and floating on the cheap wine

But there's a smell in the air
and I swear something's there
Blowing in on a California night
So if it's all gone and I can't go on
Well I'm sure as hell not ready to die
