All My Life

It's hard to believe that you've been thinking
It's hard to conceive when you're misleading
Cause all my life
I've tried
To get it right
Cause all my life
Yeah I've tried
To get it right
It's hard to explain the way I'm feeling
It's hard to contain this pain I'm concealing
Cause all my life
I've tried
To get it right
Cause all my life
Yeah I've tried
To get it right
Six weeks in
And I'm losing you

So darling daughter I insist
Midwest kids are oblivious
Even now and even then
You've got your mothers fire it's obvious
You've got your mothers fire it's obvious
Your face says it all
You resist when I call
Life will not always be like this
I'm at war with the obvious
I'm at war with the obvious
So darling daughter remember your name
Keep your head up and don't feel ashamed
Life will not always be like this
Midwest kids are oblivious
Midwest kids are oblivious

Following a ghost
Across the Mississippi River
And there were times darling
I could not see
The shadows from the wall
Shaking out the problems
Left from New Orleans
Down the Maryland Parkway Express
Just outside of Jean
Where the days get lost
And the girls sell their nights
In this great unknown
Open country side
For reasons I don't know
If I was not myself then
How will I ever know
I just put it all out there on the line
And I bet it all tonight
Shaking out the problems
Left from New Orleans
Down the Maryland Parkway Express
Just outside of Jean
Where the days get lost
And the girls sell their nights
In this great unknown
Open country side
For reasons I don't know
Sometimes I just try so hard
And no one moves me
Like the way you move me
The girls like to talk to me
For reasons I don't know
I'm just a tourist out of season
For reasons I don't know
For reasons I don't know
I'm just a tourist out of season
For reasons I don't know
I'm just a tourist out of season
And no one moves me
Like the way you move me
Just a tourist out of season
And no one moves me
Like the way you move me
Just a tourist out of season

Empty House
03:56
|

And I gather my thoughts in the morning
To the place where I grew up
Cause out in the woods is where you'll find me
When we were young
Cause no one ever leaves the lights on
Inside this old house
The lattice walls they still remind me
Does anything really last
Does anything really last
Cause it's a hard way to go
When you're spinning out of control
It's a hard way to go
When you're spinning out of control
And this is where I grew up
At the edge of town
And this is where my heart was
Does anything really last
Does anything really last
Cause it's a hard way to go
When you're spinning out of control
It's a hard way to go
When you're spinning out of control
And this is where I grew up
At the edge of town
And this is where my heart was
Does anything really last
Does anything really last

Star Sign

Cause I don't belong
I only exist
Between songs
Spinning on the disc
Cause I don't wanna hold ya down again
Cause I don't wanna hear it from your friends
Cause I don't wanna make it up to you again
I miss my home
But not who I was
Remember the songs
Forget all the words
Cause I don't wanna hold ya down again
Cause I don't wanna hear it from your friends
Cause I don't wanna make it up to you again
When I woke up my head was a mess
With a drink at the end of my wrist
Another night I wish I could forget
Cause I don't belong I only exist
Cause I don't belong I only exist
I only exist

Janet
02:54
|

I got a call about my mother
She was having trouble with her mind
She was tore down from all these worn down
Thoughts that started in her mind
And life can't be cut into even pieces
No matter how hard you try
When anything you ever said was a lie
The missing card in the deck was
And I have seen some life's a burden
No matter how hard you try
To shake the sting off
To keep my head on
No matter how hard you try
And life can't be cut into even pieces
No matter how hard you try
When anything you ever said was a lie
The missing card in the deck was
And how did you get here
How did you get here
And how did you get here
Janet, all alone

Stunt Dust
03:19
|

I'll never be the one you adore
I'll never be the one you adore
Though I've tried for several years
As you've gathered up the tears
I'll never be the one you adore
Well maybe I'll go on home
Yeah maybe I'll go on home
The southeastern wind
Is where I like to roam
Well maybe I'll just go on home
And there's a darkness in my soul
There's a weight I just can't control
So if you have something to say
Let it be known
I'll never be the one you adore
Saint Francois what did you do to me
Saint Francois are you kidding me
Depleted and depressed my god what a mess
Saint Francois what did you do to me
And there's a darkness in my soul
There's a weight I just can't control
So if you have something to say
Let it be known
I'll never be the one you adore
And all this stunt dust in my veins
Between my teeth and in the cellophane
I've been burning up the nights
Living against the grain
Trying to forget your name
And there's a darkness in my soul
There's a weight I just can't control
So if you have something to say
Let it be known
I'll never be the one you adore
I'll never be the one you adore

Fighting Loneliness
02:26
|
|||
Every now and then
You still get in my head
Cause I don't know
How to let go
The god of war
Waits on me
To take another drink
Cause I don't know
How to let go
With autumn closing in
I think of what you said
Cause I don't know
How to let go
The things that I will keep
Are the secrets of the key
That you cut yourself
For no one else
And whats the point of this
Fighting Loneliness
On broken promises
My head is such a mess
Fighting Loneliness
On broken promises
Every now and then
You still get in my head
Cause I don't know
How to let go

Wilted Lover
02:33
|

And hold me like a wilted lover
Of different decades
For a moment I could hear you
Softly calling my name
Softly summon your reckoning
And I would walk along the coast line
With the wind in my face
For a moment I could hear you
Softly calling my name
Softly summon your reckoning
And hold me like a wilted lover
Of different decades
For a moment I could hear you
Softly calling my name
Softly summon your reckoning
There's no end to this game
There's no end to your reckoning

I will choose for heart and spirit
But never will I choose for blood
This kind of defense was pure delusion
Leaning from my sight
Cut between the suffering
Beginnings forlorn
Your brevity has become a light
For the darkness to shine
When the sun goes down
And the stars come out
And the mystics howl
As the moonlight hits the ground
Falling deeper in this mess
Soon the heat moon will advise
A man who couldn't make things move
Could at least make things right
When the sun goes down
And the stars come out
And the mystics howl
As the moonlight hits the ground
And the mystics howl
As the moonlight hits the ground
