Stars All Shine
You gave your mind a pencil
But you drew a blank
Show us all us your credentials
Remember who to thank
Your star is on the door for good
You made it out of the neighborhood
Sip champagne in your limousine
You've got to make the scene
You kicked around for a time or two
But you always come back to me
No one is ever sure what you are going to do
But its seems pretty plane to me
You went to school on Monday
Tuesday you were always sick
And the rest of the week seemed like Sunday
Old habits are hard to kick
But now you don't need anyone
Anyone but you
Cause the stars all shine for you
And you can't let anyone
Anyone but you see the pain inside of you

The Indica Way (2011)
Light me a candle that burns at both ends
Burn out is far out, so say my friends
To each his own man!
Is what I have said
Funky but freaky that buzz in your head
Where are you stoner?
60's on your mind?
Where are you stoner?
Time left you behind
Some say that violence is what we should do
Others want passion
They're burning for you
But you've been there
And you've done that
You find your way home
Searching for someone
But you're home alone
Where are you stoner?
60's on your mind?
Where are you stoner?
Time left you behind
When you were young
You believed you could fly
10 years went by in the blink of an eye
Spiritual riches all lay in decay
Do like Mohicans
The Indica way

Ya Ya Ya
I turn on the TV in search of the truth
But All that I find is the truth without proof
The pigs in the mud are inviting me in
They want to make sure that my side doesn't win
Ya ya ya
Tell them you can't stand it
Listen! We demand it!
Change your ways or please get out
I'm watching the world go a little bit mad
It's harder and harder to tell good from bad
Left wing or right wing, it all sounds the same
When both sides are dirty and covered in shame
Ya ya ya
Tell them you can't stand it
Listen! We demand it!
Change your ways or please get out

California
Driving my car with the window down
I hear California calling me
Driving my car with the window down
I've been on this road since I was 23
And I'm making good time
And I'm doing alright
I'm gonna make it this time
Yes I am
I'm going to cross into Blythe
I'm going to find a new wife
I'm going to start a new life
When I cross into Blythe
I'm selling my house for less than what I owe on it
I hear California calling me
I'm taking a loss and I'm really pissed about it
I've lived in that place since 2003
And I'm making good time
And I'm doing alright
I'm gonna make it this time
Yes I am
I'm going to cross into Blythe
I'm going to find a new wife
I'm going to start a new life
When I cross into Blythe
Sure there's been some good times it's true I know
California is calling and I've got to go
I'm leaving the heat and them high electric bills behind
It's way too hot for us to have a goodtime
And I think I'm in love
I think she's sent from above
She fits my hand like glove
And I know
I'm going to cross into Blythe
I'm going to take my new wife
I'm going to start a new life
When I cross into Blythe

Another Dummy
You say you want to be a friend of mine
And leave your past so far behind
And in my darkness you will shine
But I want to see some kind of proof
You're not just playing on my roof
And your silhouette won't leave me blind
Please give our love a chance to live
You said you had so much to give
You said I might just be the one
But now you don't even take my call
My back is up against the wall
And I have the feeling that we're done
Tell me now what I'm suppose to do
When every time that I'm with you
You tell me that we have to wait and see
So why must I live out on the edge
Even though I humbly pledge
To give you everything you want from me?
Ya
And I kept you up when you were down
I never let you hit the ground
But now I've found you on the floor again
Broken is how you live your life
I guess you'll never be my wife
And now I'm back to being on my own again

Monster Burn
It doesn't have to be this cold
Better days ahead I'm told
Hearts can't be bought or sold with your sorrow
Come what may
This twisted day
Haven't I been good for you?
You've always said you loved me too
I guess you know I'll always be here come tomorrow
Come what may
This twisted day
Now, shoot me into outer space
The stars all seem so out of place
Past the point of no return
Join me in this monster burn
I have always loved you right?
I want be with you tonight
The moon is in the sky, it's pale and hollow
Come what may
This twisted day
I can hear you calling me
From the sea of tranquility
To the best of my ability I will follow
Come what may
This twisted day
Now, shoot me into outer space
The stars all seem so out of place
Past the point of no return
Join me in this monster burn

I'm Only a Man
The searing rays of daylight
Give way to a hot summers night
Alone in the dark again
I am only
In the light you can see inside
I do everything to hide
Now alone in the dark again
I am only
But I'm only a man
And I can't understand why you don't want me
And I will not believe I'm the reason you leave
When you leave me
I sit in an empty bedroom
This room has become my tomb
And I wonder where you are
I am only
And why does it have to be true?
You don't love me the way I love you
And I wait for the heart to change
I am only
But I'm only a man
And I can't understand why you don't want me
And I will not believe I'm the reason you leave
When you leave me

Since I've Been Bad
Sometimes, life is out of sync
Sometimes, I need some time to think
Sometimes, I need somebody else
And sometimes, I'm lost within myself
I wonder if I really could
I feel the pressure to be somebody good
It's not that I'm afraid of being all I can
Maybe, I'm afraid of who I am
It's been a while since I've been bad
I think about my mother and my dear old dad
I can hear them say, don't forget to pray
You'll understand someday
Sometimes, I pretend that I'm asleep
And sometimes, I'm in it way too deep
You can always, always count on me
And I can always, always count on you.....right?
It's been a while since I've been bad
I think about my mother and my dear old dad
I can hear them say, don't forget to pray
You'll understand someday

She Won't Let Me Go
05:24
|

She Won't Let Me Leave
When I'm looking in her eyes
Wondering is she telling lies
I find
There really is no difference
Nothing of significance
I'm blind
She grabs a hold of me
Every time I want to free myself
I tell her that I'm over it
But she is in control of it
This time
She will be what she wants to be
She's so free
But she never will free me
If we get together and I know you a little better
I'm gonna write in a letter and leave it laying there on your floor
When I know you better Ill be taking off your sweater
Love to see you in leather that I left hanging on your door
When we see each other I don't want no other lover
Ever dancing under covers or laying on your bedroom floor
We can tell each other that I love you like a mother
No I never need another knocking on my bedroom door
She will be what she wants to be
Shes so free
But she never will free me
She won't set me free
She won't set me free

Learn To Forgive Yourself
Please understand that to be the man
You've got to do things right
Listen up or you'll spill your cup
And things will never turn out right
You've lost control if you had control
And it makes you want to fight
Your anger feeds, it thrives, it breeds
And it's you you'll have to fight
Learn to forgive yourself for being a little unstable
Love won't feed itself unless you sit at the table
You've got to change yea rearrange
You can't fake it when you're grown
Am I getting through? Baby where are you?
You won't make it on your own
Please understand you've got to have it planned
If you want to reach the top
Got to hit your groove with your every move
Cuz your troubles never stop
Learn to forgive yourself for being a little unstable
Love won't feed itself unless you sit at the table

Dark Passage Way
Dark passage way
Leads me to pray
But I lost my voice
When I made my choice
And I started thinking
That I could be strong
That I could belong
But I don't fit in
We're blind from our birth
Can't see our own worth
Look around
What do you see?
Are we lost, or is it me?
And I started thinking
That I could be strong
That I could belong
But I just don't fit in
Hey, hey
Dark passage way
Leads me to pray
But I lost my voice
But I lost my voice
And I started thinking
That I could be strong
That I could belong
But I just don't fit in

Corn Fed Crows
On the corner
Down by the river bed
I'm a stoner with a buzz in my head
I'm as low, low as you wanna go
I'm as high, high as the open sky
And I believe I can fly
And I might leave here today
In my big car
Hanging out with the window down
Down to the liquor store
Drinking till I'm falling down
I'm as low, low as you wanna go
I'm as high, high as the cloudy sky
And I believe I can fly
And I might leave here today
And I believe I can fly
And I might leave here today
Spike the vein now
Watch it flow where the river goes
Translucent black cow
Sacrificial corn fed crows
I'm as low, low as you wanna go
I'm as high, high as the moon lit sky
And I believe I can fly
And I might leave here today
And I believe I can fly
And I might leave here today

Find Me

Find Me
I've said all that I can say
I've said it in a simple way
I've made it clear as I can be
Now its up to you to find me
I've laid it all out on the line
So clear you can see it shine
I only hope that you notice me
Now it's up to you to find me
I'm really trying to understand
Why life will never go as planned
I feel it slipping thorough my hands
Don't take to long
Don't take to long to find me
Everything I've said is true
I told you all that I can do
I want to do it all to you
Now it's up to you to find me
Let me know if you still need more
C'mon c'mon wait are you waiting for?
My heart is here for you to feed
But now it's up to you to find me
I'm really trying to understand
Why life will never go as planned
I feel it slipping thorough my hands
Don't take to long
Don't take to long to find me
I want to be your everything
Can't you hear it when I sing?
Be the only man you need
But now it's up you to find me
A man like me doesn't come along
At the end of every song
Open your ears and you might see
You're the one that's meant to find me

Anesthesia
Step into this little room
Smell the sickly sweet perfume
Dim the lights and count to ten
Close your eyes and lets begin
Drifting to a thought of you
I hope you know just what to do
I can't be sure if I'm awake
There is no sound that I can make
Flashing light is getting bright
Now the black has turned to white
Floating in a pool of sin
Round and round and back again
Space and time are irrelevant
I'm burning for the hell of it
A little push, a little shove
Anesthesia you're my love
Fairytales all turn to truth
There's no one here to provide the proof
I spy with my little eye
A girl with wings who couldn't fly
I hear the laughter through the wall
They wheel me out into the hall
Take the hand that wears the glove
Anesthesia you're my love
Anesthesia you're my love
Anesthesia you're my love
Anesthesia you're my love
Anesthesia you're my love

Modern Lovers

MODERN LOVERS
Everybody wants to love somebody
To let their soul run free
It's hard to find
When you've been so blind
You look but can not see
Everybody wants to love somebody
Loneliness is hard to take
You pick and choose and some times you lose
Cause true love is hard to fake
Everybody wants to love somebody
Until their dying day
So when you feel it, reach out and steel it
Or love might slip away
You and I are not like the others
Who will never be set free
Cause you and I are two modern lovers
In the twenty first century

Partner In Crime
Let me see your face again baby
It's where I start
Love to hold you, embrace again baby
Feel your beating heart
She might be my window
To a brand new day
I open up and let the wind blow
And she blows away
I want to be the one
That shines as brightly as the sun
That warms her when her day is done
Yes I want to be her only one
Be her one, her only one
The sun and moon
Take their turn in the sky
Up there alone
They will burn out and die
They chase each other
Hoping for romance
Out of breath
They no longer can dance
That's not the way
You and I will go down
Over the rainbow
Or dead on the ground
You and I
Are the lucky ones I guess
The dance isn't over
And you're still in your dress
Let me hear your voice again baby
Whisper in my ear
I'd make the same choice again baby
To keep you here
She might be my flavor
Sugar all the time
She might be my savior
My partner in crime
I want to be the one
That shines as brightly as the sun
That warms her when her day is done
Yes I want to be her only one
Be her one, her only one

The High Truth
What I preach is what I'm living
And what I've got is what I'm giving
I hope you know I've got your six
There's nothing that the soul can't fix
If you don't understand me now
I guess it doesn't matter anyhow
Anyhow
When I speak, it's just my truth
But wisdoms wasted on the youth
You have to learn it your own way
So you won't hear me when I say
That all it took to murder me
Was always there for everyone to see
They all could see
The truth is what you make of it
When everyone gets high
They all get high
I guess that I will never shine
Bright enough to blow your mind
I guess I have to let you go
Never knowing all that you should know
But you should know
The truth is what you make of it
When everyone gets high
The truth is what you think it is
When everyone is high
I know what lurks inside of you
And it seems there's just one thing to do
The smoke will help you disappear
Until you find you have to face your fear
Face your fear
The truth is what you make of it
When everyone gets high

Broken

Broken
Broken,
A crack as big as life
Spoken,
Words become your knife
You close the door
Trying to ignore
All that makes you who you are
You've gone and hurt yourself
You've gone and put me on the shelf
Untethered,
A love that has no strings
But Can't sever
Indivisible these things
You want to run
But you're not done
You begin to understand
That the hardest part
Is trying to mend a broken heart
Lying there trying not to care
Does it help you feel that you're free?
You should be off somewhere
But these strings won't tear
They keep you lying here next to me
You prisoner
Your heart is chained to mine
You visioner
Seeing all that makes you blind
There's nothing you can do
There's nothing you can do

Blue is Night
I'm waiting here for someone to come
Should be feeling fine, but I've come undone
Blue is night
The color of lonely
I should put up a fight
If I would only stop waiting here
For someone to come
I could be feeling fine
In stead I'm feeling numb
Blue is night
The color of lonely
I search for the light
If I would only.....
And I'm waiting on myself
But it's hard let go
And I'm waiting on myself
But I just can't let go
I pull the shades so no one can see
I cry this night, oh I cry for me
I chase the sun
But it's far away
Guess I'd rather run
Than to fade away
And I'm waiting on myself
But it's hard to let go
And I'm waiting on myself
But I just can't let go
And I'm waiting on myself
But it's hard to let go
And I'm waiting on myself
But I just can't let go

Glendale
Glendale's where I landed at
It's a tiny place on the US map
It's a perfect place if you like it hot
You can fry an egg in the parking lot
I'm pretty sure I don't like here
So why do I stay year after year?
It always seems like plans are made
But the years go by and they start to fade
Cuz I fly so high
I fly so high
So I bought a home with that in mind
And I make my payments right on time
While I'm here gonna have a look
Gonna get a job, maybe write a book
Somebody here is gonna notice me
Gonna go across town on a shooting spree
When I cross the street in front of you
Well you better know who you're talking to
Cuz I fly so high
I fly so high
I listen to the radio
Shooting birds sitting out on the patio
That old black cat really bothers me
Now the whole back fence always smells of pee
Invite some friends for a barbeque
Some pretend that they had something else to do
Some clouds pass by way up in the sky
But the rain won't come and we all know why
They fly so high
They fly so high

My Own Cloud
I know the way, I know the way
To the Headlines
I know the way, I know the way
To the headlines.
I want to fly, free, on my own cloud
No sleep
In my day dream
If I never wave goodbye
Then I never have to die
There's nothing here to stop me now
I'll penetrate the skies
No more sadness in my eyes
There's nothing here to stop me now
Your in the way. your in the way
Of my sunshine
Your in the way, your in the way
Of my sunshine
I want to fly, free, on my own cloud
Hide, High
In my day dream
If I never wave goodbye
Then I never have to die
There's nothing here to stop me now
I'll penetrate the skies
No more sadness in my eyes
There's nothing here to stop me now
I can't get away, I can't get away
From the frontlines
I can't get away, I can't get away
From the frontlines
I want to fly, free, on my own cloud
Die free
In my day dream.

No One to Blame
I do this time alone
For my sins I must atone
These walls will be my keep
Until my sentence is complete
Into this world I'm thrown
These are the seeds I've sewn
Within this cell I stay
With these 6 months I pay
No one to blame but me
No one to blame
No one to blame but me
No one to blame
Within myself I look
But I am no open book
Sometimes to dark to see
What's buried deep inside of me
There's time enough to cry
But no tear drops from my eye
Only time will tell
If tear drops make you well

Rock & Roll Hero
I was born with a guitar and a rock & roll dream
I’ll be singing and playing till the day I die
I don’t have a voice that makes the young girls scream
Guess I’ll settle for now just making them cry
There’s not a Goddamn thing I’d rather do with my time
No other way for me to earn my dime
So give me a microphone and give me a verse
I’ll be strumming my guitar while I’m rolling in the hearse
Oh yea
Dreaming of what it’s like to be a hero
I know what’s it’s like to be a zero
I want to be your hero
Now I’ve been around the block a freaking time or two
And I feel quite sure what I want to do
But I can’t pay my bills with a smile and a wink
You say I’ll give it a spin and let you know what I think
Oh Yea
But I keep on playing anyway
Yes I keep on playing anyway.
Dreaming of what it’s like to be a hero
I know what’s it’s like to be a zero
I want to be your hero
But I keep on playing anyway
Yes I keep on playing anyway.
