I let down my guard sometimes Open up, expose the rust That I try so hard to hide But in your light, your perfect light It shines so bright on my heart I'm left as blind as night
But I can see everything I can see everything Anything that means anything to me
I'm so hard to find sometimes I reach back, tear up the tracks And I leave no signs But you fight the good fight Drag my soul into the light When its as black as night
And I can see everything I can see everything Anything that means anything to me
She's got a natural way She doesn't miss a thing She wouldn't trade my troubles for nothing
She makes me see everything She makes me see everything Anything that means anything to me Anything that means anything to me Anything that means anything to me
Lie with me Go & tell me all the things that you've been thinking Bittersweet The temptation to swallow the burden
Don't forget not to second guess all your reasoning You don't need to doubt a thing
Well nobody's gonna tell you that the joke is on you No matter how they cut the cards they're stacked against you So don't fall apart the second that you hear the news Its just your ordinary average everyday blues
Its plain to see You're just floating in your own revery What puzzles me Is how everything ain't the way its supposed to be
Well ain't it strange how some people change from day to day And you just stay the same
Well nobody's gonna tell you that the joke is on you No matter how they cut the cards they're stacked against you So don't fall apart the second that you hear the news Its just your ordinary average everyday blues
When its raining in your shoes And you don't have much left to lose And you're standing on the scene searching for clues
You get lost without a trace Signs of the times all across your face Let me help you put the pieces back into place
We'll raise the blinds on these tough times trials And greet the light with a brand new smile
She gets high when she gets down Lives for today cause yesterdays gone//Here for the moment, the next she's gone Knows this might be the last time she'll be around
She's carried by the song Hoping her day is coming on Like the bird that sings to the dark before the dawn
We'll raise the blinds on these tough times trials And greet the light with a brand new smile
Everyday my memory grows dimmer not such a shine or a shimmer from through the veil of cigarette I see the smile through the silhouette watered down by the tears she cries
Don't you let it roll
Everyday I'm feeling more like a sinner another due beginner but my hands are tied
Don't you let it roll
Sweeping melody floats by my window Pain you'll never see and faces you'll never know
About time that you could see another side of my tired story but i see that you're looking away Come a day when you might think
Don't you let it roll
Sweeping melody floats by my window Pain you'll never see and faces you'll never know So young just a slave to dreams yet always late for the show lay down your urgency and soon you will never go
Burn down your bridges babe And lay your burden down Cause I've been there Was reborn there on the first night Raised by the sound
Rolling on this feeling The dimestore dreamings That you sold me
Nothing like the healing The changing of the seasons Naturally
Dealt a hand that I can't fold And I can't hold They told me Better annie up
Or let em go I've been on that trip before A time or two
Was not so long ago I traveled down that road
With nothing but that Rusty Moon To guide my way back home When good luck in the darkest hour Could not come to soon Darkness in the nightime And in the middle of the afternoon With nothing but that Rusty Moon To guide my way back home
The second and third verses (before you guys axe them) are as follows:
vII Everyday I'm feeling more like a sinner Another doomed beginner but my hands are tied Feel at home with your mercy I'm drunk again but still thirsty For a touch that you've given away...
vIII Come a day when you might think I'm less then Y'know a fly on the wall and another wasted day About time that you could see another side of my tired story But I see that you're looking away...

I Can See Everything
I let down my guard sometimes
Open up, expose the rust
That I try so hard to hide
But in your light, your perfect light
It shines so bright on my heart
I'm left as blind as night
But I can see everything
I can see everything
Anything that means anything to me
I'm so hard to find sometimes
I reach back, tear up the tracks
And I leave no signs
But you fight the good fight
Drag my soul into the light
When its as black as night
And I can see everything
I can see everything
Anything that means anything to me
She's got a natural way
She doesn't miss a thing
She wouldn't trade my troubles for nothing
She makes me see everything
She makes me see everything
Anything that means anything to me
Anything that means anything to me
Anything that means anything to me
Everyday Blues
Lie with me
Go & tell me all the things that you've been thinking
Bittersweet
The temptation to swallow the burden
Don't forget not to second guess all your reasoning
You don't need to doubt a thing
Well nobody's gonna tell you that the joke is on you
No matter how they cut the cards they're stacked against you
So don't fall apart the second that you hear the news
Its just your ordinary average everyday blues
Its plain to see
You're just floating in your own revery
What puzzles me
Is how everything ain't the way its supposed to be
Well ain't it strange how some people change from day to day
And you just stay the same
Well nobody's gonna tell you that the joke is on you
No matter how they cut the cards they're stacked against you
So don't fall apart the second that you hear the news
Its just your ordinary average everyday blues
Brand New Smile
When its raining in your shoes
And you don't have much left to lose
And you're standing on the scene searching for clues
You get lost without a trace
Signs of the times all across your face
Let me help you put the pieces back into place
We'll raise the blinds on these tough times trials
And greet the light with a brand new smile
She gets high when she gets down
Lives for today cause yesterdays gone//Here for the moment, the next she's gone
Knows this might be the last time she'll be around
She's carried by the song
Hoping her day is coming on
Like the bird that sings to the dark before the dawn
We'll raise the blinds on these tough times trials
And greet the light with a brand new smile
Even Country
All things considered
You cant deny
Freedom from the pain
When the sun holds you down
and the breezes lift you
as you fall to the ground
You might go out wandering
Chasing away the past
but you can't run from the shame
Even country open roads ain't far enough away
Even country open roads won't ease my misery
I slipped away
Just before midnight babe
and threw the rag top down
With a half moon sinking low
and no place in mind to go
Still I don't feel much like riding
Stitched a line through the south end of town
Crossed Seven Bridges
I'm still not seeing what I found
Pride Aside
write my name off
turn the page
but don't be tight lipped and strange
knit the pieces
of my broken plans
but please don't loosen the strands
time to leave all my pride aside
string my memories
on unending line
but try not to undue our time
painted picture
tell no lies
muted colors in disguise
time to leave all my pride aside
Dimmer
Everyday my memory grows dimmer
not such a shine or a shimmer from
through the veil of cigarette
I see the smile through the silhouette
watered down by the tears she cries
Don't you let it roll
Everyday I'm feeling more like a sinner
another due beginner but my hands are tied
Don't you let it roll
Sweeping melody floats by my window
Pain you'll never see and faces you'll never know
About time that you could see
another side of my tired story
but i see that you're looking away
Come a day when you might think
Don't you let it roll
Sweeping melody floats by my window
Pain you'll never see and faces you'll never know
So young just a slave to dreams yet always late for the show
lay down your urgency and soon you will never go
Orbiter
I see that star up in the sky
it's not wishful thinking
just hoping that I get close some day
Turn your face up to the light
It may be dark outside
but it's not time to let things die
*
And I'll be close enough
close enough to feel it burn
Yet I'll be far enough
far enough away to watch the earth turn
*
Wipe that tear out from your eye
search your soul once more
and the truth you will find deep inside
Living fast on borrowed
burning from both ends
and riding that line in the sky
*Chorus
I did not mean to speak a lie
I must apologize
but just give me one try to make things right
I found a way to make cry
well pardon me one time
I'm just feeling like I might die tonight
*Chorus
RUSTY MOON
Burn down your bridges babe
And lay your burden down
Cause I've been there
Was reborn there on the first night
Raised by the sound
Rolling on this feeling
The dimestore dreamings
That you sold me
Nothing like the healing
The changing of the seasons
Naturally
Dealt a hand that I can't fold
And I can't hold
They told me
Better annie up
Or let em go
I've been on that trip before
A time or two
Was not so long ago
I traveled down that road
With nothing but that Rusty Moon
To guide my way back home
When good luck in the darkest hour
Could not come to soon
Darkness in the nightime
And in the middle of the afternoon
With nothing but that Rusty Moon
To guide my way back home
Gone underground
Need to get lost to get found
Need to get high
So high
But you better bleed my dry
Cause this blues
Cause this blues is in my blood
The second and third verses (before you guys axe them) are as follows:
vII
Everyday I'm feeling more like a sinner
Another doomed beginner but my hands are tied
Feel at home with your mercy
I'm drunk again but still thirsty
For a touch that you've given away...
vIII
Come a day when you might think I'm less then
Y'know a fly on the wall and another wasted day
About time that you could see another side of my tired story
But I see that you're looking away...
January's Gone
May has come along
And January's gone...with all of its
Pain and overall suffering gloom
I cry to your ghost
Are you okay dad...I wish I'd
See you stroll upon this dim red room
Work must carry on
I see your hands...in all of the
Things that do the job and do it in time
Well now and all the while
Folks come and go....they beg of me
Are you doing fine, I say it's alright......
Chorus:
But it's a lie, I know
It's too easy to die and go......away
Well I found me a girl
I know you'd say.....she's a nice one
And hold onto her son, as hard as you can
She asks me to cry
Or tell her something...she'll listen
But I'm too busy trying to be a man....
Chorus
