Over & Over
05:31

And the weight, it hangs on my shoulder
It comes over and over
Like a setting sun
And the shakes, they wake me up sober
Trying to take what’s left over
Cause it’s never done
And as I watch I can see what’s taking me
It’s the dark friend that keeps her heart from me
As I long for some peace, I feel diseased
You’ll never be what I need, a friend indeed
And the days, I feel they grow longer
I grow colder and colder
Until the show is done
And the haze, I put myself under
It gets lower and darker
Then it’s said and done
And as I watch I can see what’s taking me
It’s the dark friend that keeps her heart from me
As I long for some peace, I feel diseased
You’ll never be what I need, a friend indeed

The Devil's Son
04:51

You say that life’s something maybe you want
You take and hide all the good that you’ve got
Is it time to take a look at all the shit that you’ve done
This valentine’s not a love you should want
Take down the wall that’s grown all around your love
Take down and crawl up over, the past is done
The dazed and nights though the white woken up
Just leave you hiding and fighting to run
There’s a time to play, then a time to pay, there’s no light of way for the drugs you take baby
This valentine’s not a love you should want
Take down the wall that’s grown all around your love
Take down and crawl up over, the past is done
Your fetal flaws and your mind is shut
the promises to the mirror’s done
You’ve waited long but your time has come
To rid yourself of the devil’s son

Getting on home
05:08
|

When the fever came, my ideas woke
Back in 88, I sank the lifeboat
Remember what it used to be
The spark of something golden and free
I never had to justify
The one thing that I should have believed
Getting on, getting on, getting on home
Whatever point you reach, it points to business
I know I made mistakes, I don’t ask forgiveness
A man could work a thousand years
And still not see the things I have seen
But surely he would get some place
In time he could be free of his dreams
Getting on, getting on, getting on home

Goodnight, Goodbye
04:48
|

I took a ride through the darkness inside
And the hard times waiting down the road
I made a line from the dollar sign
And I’m making my way down through your soul
I moved my eyes through the shadows and light
For the drawn and infected down below
I wait a while, but it’s not enough time
Help me, help me as I go
Good night, Good night, Good night, Good bye
It’s my intention just to get your attention
And I’m swaying and swinging like a stone
I lit a fire then I walked on by her
It’s a love that I’ll carry down the road
Good night, Good night, Good night, Good bye

Lucifer
06:25

If I told you I knew Lucifer
Would you pack your rags and leave me
And if I told you I had nothing left
Would you blind my eyes completely
If I’m in trouble and I’m weighted down
I wonder who would come to see me
No God, no devil, and no shining light
But someone plays the part to please me
If I had it over and I could change my life
Well I’d still take the one you gave me
At times I fell, at times I chased the high
I guess we’ve come down kinda bleeding

Pulse

One day, I’m sure
Gonna leave these velvet shores
Not much, left to find
Gonna flee these crying skies
One day, when I’m gone
Gonna sing these desert songs
From my life, on the run
Trying to beat this setting sun
Always needing more
Always seeking all
Always feeling more
One day in my life
I’m going to feel those left behind
And I’ll know, I was wrong
I couldn’t sing that human song
One day, when I’m gone
Gonna sing these desert songs
From my life, on the run
Trying to beat this setting sun

Oh my lord, take my soul
03:51
|

Oh my lord, take my soul
In the evening time
Under winter skies
By the candlelight
Oh my lord
On the countryside
Through a night of wine
Talking side by side
Underwater eyes
On a moon so bright
Floating quiet like
