Sitting in a terminal feeling close to terminal The sky was very blue that day I was waiting on a train to see If that I might ever be Something close to normal one day And I know that time might do something To stop and ease my pain But I am never getting used to the thought That I am never going to see you again And I can be so strong for oh so long but this ain't the worse I've seen If you ask me why I look so down Well I lost my love to New Orleans Is this a game of lose and tell If so then I am losing well This second time it's happened to me I am waiting on this train today to take me very far awary From the city below the sea Is there something that I am supposed to learn Well I don't really care Cause it breaks my heart to look for you And I can not find you any where And I can be so strong for oh so long but this ain't the worse I've seen If you ask me why I look so down Well I lost my love to New Orleans I must believe that time marches on I must concede now that you're gone I must believe that time marches on On you on me, on everthing Everyone back up I just need to breathe I need to sit and watch this fall apart and I don't know how I am doing this When I barely feel the beating of my heart and I go on for another day and I go on cause there is no other way And I go on though I fall apart Though I fall apart CauseI can be so strong for oh so long but this is the worse I've seen And I'm breaking down in front of you Because I lost my love to New Orleans I lost my love to New Orleans I lost my love to New Orleans

Don't Ask Me 05:38
I thought I'd get rich selling stocks and bonds It was the internet, the great long con Where the road up goes up forever And the party never ends But it weren't easy like Sunday It was cold as rain In the middle of December When you're going insane And you say for the 55th time I can't do this again Things got bad before they worse It was the end of an age We were riding in a hearse And the big banks got bigger as part of the scam I didn't know whether the hustle Or whether to hide And we went broke My baby cried and I said just who in the hell do you think that I am Why's there got so much that I got to lose What the hell do I got to prove To myself To myself Oh to myself So don't ask me, where I'm going I ain't been there so I don't know All that 's ending is me pretending That I am someone that I don't know Things hit bottom in March of 09 People were pointing fingers instead catching crime Like throwing all them basterds that did this all into jail Me I sold insurance to pay the bills The 9-5 grind you know the one that kills Where just getting by, feels just like hell Why I got so much to prove Why I've got so much to lose Like myself Like myself I could lose myself So don't ask me, where I'm going I ain't been there so I don't know All that 's ending is me pretending That I am someone that I don't know The stock market got better but the people stayed poor except for the rich They got a little more And the politicians they paid to get there All acted like kids Me I gave it up Yeah I grabbed my guitar I was hoping I could make it or at least get far enough away from who I was and all that I did Ain't got nothing left to lose Ain't got nothing left to prove To myself To myself Not to myself So don't ask me, where I'm going I ain't been there so I don't know All that 's ending is me pretending That I am someone that I don't know No, I ain't someone that I don't know

Listen 03:54
You and me, we got something to talk about There are plans I've made and there are plans you've made for you And though we can't seem to figure out There are no plans I can see without you Cause there is time for us tonight Yes there's time to get it right Yes there's time, but I don't know what to say anymore So I listen to what you say And I listen and I don't pull away And I listen and I hold on tight Cause I don't know what to say tonight I don't know where it is we will go from here There's no path that I see that makes any sense. All I want is this confusion to disappear Lord I am just so tired of sitting on this fence Cause there's time to figure this out Yes there's time to see what it's about Yes there's time but I don't know what I need any more So I listen to what you say And I listen and I don't pull away And I listen and I hold on tight cause I don't know what I need tonight Does every day need to be like this Take one step forward then resist Does every day need to be so hard just to be loved To be loved Just to be loved You and me, I don't know where we're going We've been talking an we still don't know All the cards that I have I am showing So if you're holding back something would you let me know And make some time to figure this out Make some time to see what it's about Make some time cause all I know is I need you right now So I listen to what you say And I listen and I don't pull away And I listen and I hold on tight Because I don't know what I need tonight So I listen and I hold on too Yes I listen can you listen too So I listen and I hold on tight Because you are all I need tonight

Why's it always 3 a.m. when my thoughts like tar turn black These broken possiblities and thing I can't take back A sabre tooth once proud and bold struggles to be free But there ain't no shaking loose of this While I lie here and bleed Why's it alway 4 o'clock Like quicksand things get worse The more I think the more I sink with every vain outburst The ground below me slips away as I grasp at what I need But there ain't no branch for me to climb While I lie here and bleed Everynight, I try to go to sleep I get lost in these reveries and thoughts that keep Me speaking to some spectre or the thoughts trapped in my head Where I don't know what is worse What's done or what is said Why at five do I strive To make this all make sense Like hacking through some jungle vines that just have grown to dense And as I search for sustenence From which my soul can feed No there ain't no sense To none of this While I lie here and bleed No there ain't no sense To none of this While I lie here and bleed

Ain't nobody gonna die for me when it comes my time to die You might move the earth for the place I finally lie and you might be my friend and when I go you'll cry But there ain't nobody gonna die for me when it comes my time to die Ain't nobody gonna choose for me when it comes my time to choose You might play this game like it's only when or lose When it comes to picking is it only ones and twos Ain't nobody gonna choose for me when it comes my time to choose And when I go to sleep and when I rest my head There ain't nobody going to answer for all the things I said and everything I done it all comes back on me I don't have to wait until I'm gone for to finally see Ain't nobody gonna die for me when it comes my time to die You may gnash your teeth let out an awful cry but you can't change that thing no matter what you try cause there ain't nobody gonna die for me when it comes my time to die

Sunshine 03:29
I've been standing here Way too long We're going to move on down the road I woke up with my eyes open wide We're going to move on down the road Because the sun she is shining down on me Your love has kept me warm all these years We're going to move on down the road I let go of all my fears We're going to move on down the road Because that sun, she is shining down on me All the roads that lead me on To where I see the sun shining down on me I have got it right this time We're going to move on down the road Nothing holds me back any more We're going to move on down the road

A bad attitude is our only defense And we don't care if it makes no sense I need some release Before I get any peace I've been walking upstairs Just to get no where Well I don't know about you but I've seen those games they play The take away the cheese Then lock you in the maze It's funny when they try and talk Pretend they are just like you But their words never measure up to the heinous things they do I got lost in some weird American dream But I saw them and how they plot and they scheme And they tell you good words and tell you good lies and put up a good front but it's just a disguise then they change all the rules and tell you it's fair and pull out their guns when they see you don't scare I'm going down now You know I found the bottom I'm going down now You know I really wanna I'm going down now And it's plain to see That the bottom ain't where it used to be No, the bottom ain't where it used to be

This is what madness feels like This is how crazy feels This is what madness looks like This is how crazy feels and then I heard they burned a pilot up just to show that they mean business and a senator said restaurants don't have to wash their hands no, they don't have to wash their hands This is what madness feels like This is how crazy feels This is what madness looks like This is how crazy feels and you don't want to vaccinate your children and you say that Moses was a founding father and govenor and you say you're christian but you put people to death and cops can have tanks and stuff and the NFL pays no taxes and congressmen can give themselves raise for doing nothing This is what madness feels like This is how crazy Kills This is what madness looks like This is how crazy kills
