Another Broken Heart

He saw the sadness in your smile
He bore its wrath and loved you all the while
He felt the thickness of your skin
In all the battles you let him win
But in the end, the war, my friend
Will come down to just who tore who apart
So take a better look at
The hell you put him through
And chalk it up to lovin’ you
Another Broken Heart
You’ve been collecting
Another Broken Heart
And your bounty’s due
And though we marked you as a friend
You went and fucked it up again
So we say goodbye, amen, and hallelujah
Good riddance to ya
Go twist up someone else’s world
Get you a chump that chases little girls
Women are worth the price of pain
Women don’t meddle in a child’s game
And all you’ve shown
In how you’ve grown
Is reason to believe you’ll never start
To take a better look at
The dignity you shook
A queen would simply take the rook
Another Broken Heart
You’ve been collecting
Another Broken Heart
And your bounty’s due
And though we marked you as a friend
You went and fucked it up again
So we say goodbye, amen, and hallelujah
Good riddance to ya

Listen, Berlin
04:03

Okay, so I
Can’t remember when we first met
I know that’s not
Something that I should forget
But baby won’t you see
Through your angry eyes
I do care?
Take a look at me
And realize what we share
We are real
With you, it’s love I feel
Reflect on you
And I️, before I can’t recall
Think of the boys
And girls, that forced up our walls
And see how long it took
To tear them brick by brick
See how while the whole world shook
Berlin fell to a kiss
We are real
With me, it’s love you feel
So say we met in a park
On a cold autumn day
And talked about that cab driver
That drove us insane
Talk about the laughs that we had
Over all of my fears
And the tears that you shed
Over gazing in mirrors
So what would the difference be?
If I could say that your eyes
Were as green as the very dress
You wore that night
When my heart took flight
‘Neath the pale moonlight
Cause that’s not real
It’s just a broken ideal
So if that’s what you want
I’ll step aside for you
Go be the girl in the green dress
That I never knew
But if you’re searching for love
In every cynical way
I️ can solemnly swear
I will make your bad day
Now, I
Will try to think of the little things
Provided you
Embrace our broken wings
We’re just two normal folk in love
And when your life gets push to shove
Well, I will shove them back
Two normal folk in love

All Will Remain

She’ll be runnin’ away come some mornin’
And all will remain except her Snorin’
Drivin’ me, drivin’ me sane
All Will Remain
All Will Remain
Some days, I think of my life, and on her place
I think of my wife and don’t see her face
Drivin’ me, drivin’ me sane
All Will Remain
All Will Remain
Strange world, I live in myself but not with that girl
She’s dust on my shelf and I’m a wind whirl
Sweepin’ her up and I maintain
All Will Remain
All Will Remain
All remains, so close the door
And I’ll retain my perfect score
Ever better than before
And now, I’m sleepin’ easy
On your way, I’m to the bar
To get myself another jar
Toast another even par
So darlin’, on your way, you are
She had me bitter and she had me broken
I’ve journeyed through hell and back and spoken
Glories and praise to the flames
Where all will remain
All will remain
Wild, Untamed, and never on trial
I’m unchained, If just for a while
And runnin’ towards the refrain
Where all will remain
All will remain
All remains, so close the door
And I’ll retain my perfect score
Ever better than before
And now, I’m sleepin’ easy
On your way, I’m to the bar
To get myself another jar
Toast another even par
So darlin’, on your way, you are

Silos
02:28
|
|||
|
Lock the door and leave me on my own
Cigarette in one hand, guitar pick in my mouth
Might be stoned
But you’d never know
Serve me up a wager on my time
You could guess, oh you could guess
I guess that some things may be yours
And others mine
If you could guess, am I my best?
If you could guess, am I much less
On my time?
Knock me down and mock me on my back
If it pleases you to grab a view of my mind
You’ll see just red, white, and black
A little blue through the cracks
Riddle me a mystery I wrote
You could question the integrity
But always see I’ll find another note
And drag it home
Singin’ we all know, we’re nothin’ but Silos
Singin’ we all know, we’re nothin’ but silos

Not So Alone

A desperate man
Sings in the shadows
Waiting for some brilliant glow
There she stands
But where’s the bravado?
Come desperate man
Come join the show
A woman yearns
Lost in confusion
Left to play the card she knows
Come desperate man
She’s secretly wishin’
Play your hand and make her’s whole
Make her soul
When I’m lost inside of me
Just gotta see your face
Not so alone it seems
Pressed to speak
Afraid she won’t listen
Another drink and it’s getting close
Stomach sinks
The signs he’s been missin
She shoots a wink and says she knows
Says it shows
When I’m lost inside of me
Just gotta see your face
Not so alone it seems

Passing Waves
04:38

You could say there was a likin’
An understandin’ at the most
At least we found a feelin’
Though, it left us mighty low
Today I found a pint glass
One you bought me long ago
Nostalgia hit me right away
The drunken night, the lips you gave
And right on time
You’re on my mind
Been walkin’ for a while now
Not always on my own
But scrapin’ up the miles
On a very different road
Sometimes I get to thinkin’
If a left had been a right
Would I be chasin’ other dreams?
Or waste them on a lover’s needs?
Suppose I might
So goes hindsight
Well it isn’t all that common
No, it isn’t every day
But here and then, it strikes me with the fallin’
Of the cold October rain
And I pray
That for you, it’s rarely pourin’
I wish you only sunny days
And if you falter for a second, may you reckon
That it’s only passing waves
It’s only passing waves
