What did we do before you came along Always showing us the dawn You played the friend when I was down And said I could go on Always there for a little push When heading toward the lights Giving me a warm embrace In time and space Temptation in a vice Now your there when you shouldn’t be Never know when to go home And all the dark you find in me Just makes me sick to the bone Now I would not say that I don’t want you And I would not say that I do. But your haunting me wherever I go So I have to say we’re through Cause your always there when I’m lonely And your always there between the lines And the people you take, Will burn at the stake, As the wind gently blows through the vines. Is just the weakness in me Or just another lie Have you cast a spell on me Are lovers doomed to die Rolling through the open sun And burning in my head Focused on a jackels tears. “it’s the crutch he feared” The Undertaker said

Early Frost 05:52
I didn’t see it coming, how fast things can change Warm & Glorious summer, Cut short by deep frozen rain And St.jude she whispers pains lonely tears Celebrating all your faults and exposing your fears And the Deeper the pain the longer the thaw It’s an early frost – Find a warm place next to me It’s an early frost – or be a adrift in a frozen Sea And you ask yourself do I hate her, And the eight ball sais try again later, So you wait for her to come around But all the things you bought for her, can no longer be found Which has all to do with fate and none with the cost. Its an early frost – Better find a new place to play It’s an early frost – Before your friends all move away And as a begger searches for shelter Athena Pours her wine So Lucky boy writes one last sonnet To tell of the time when he was beyond this When all was golden and nothing was lost Its an early frost - Find a warm place next to me It’s an early frost – or be a adrift in a frozen Sea

Bastards 04:49
They said “whats can we do to ease your pain?” I said “change this sun to pouring rain, And show me a good reason to go on.” The kids are crying every night. I tell them everything will be alright, But that’s not what I really do believe. Oh we’ll keep going on, As long as our lights keep burn’n strong, But let me say, those bastards are going to pay. Can’t read the paper or watch tv. You know it all just kill’n me, Sp many people just ripped out of our lives. I see your face in everything, Can’t seem to sleep or eat a thing, I miss you baby, I miss you so much it hurts. Goodbye my sweet, sweet love, I’ll watch you in the stars above But anyway, the bastards are gonna pay. Things are getting pretty weird, Just waiting for the smoke to clear, And pick up the pieces, the pieces of our lives. People starting to come around, But there is no cipro to be found, And no one knows whats gonna be a year from now. One thing I know, is that its all changed All our lives have been re-arranged, But note Today those bastards are going to pay.

Lay’n Low, Feel’n Down, Get me off this Go round. Goin Out, Idon’t know. Don’t think I can go Now. Can you feel the Slowdown Drown’n in the waves of another stressful day, Can you feel the Slowdown Time is in the air, & I Don’t know if I care Play’n w/ the kids when all the work I did is said and done. Now the cold air fills the sky, So my soul could fly Leaving the vessel far behind, Nothing left to find. Coffee Please, Some of these. Empty, Gray and Hollow. Leafless Trees, Aching Knees, Working towards Tomorrow Can you feel the Slowdown Lay’n in my bed with an aching in my head Can you feel the Slowdown? Needing sleep from promises I can’t keep. Missing you, sinking in your paper stew. Falling deep in the comfort zone, don’t let me fall alone. Stuck here up against my will, Wishing time would just stand still. Maybe it’s guilt that I feel, when I stop and smell the flowers Or the fear of what I’d do with all the uncounted hours. Can you feel the Slowdown Lay’n in my bed with an aching in my head Can you feel the Slowdown? Needing sleep from promises I can’t keep. Missing you, sinking in your paper stew.

Lay your burden down and rest yourself a while This place is a ghost town anyway Cause when your body’s tired and your legs no longer stand Its time to plan out another way For if we choose the war the front line we will stand Leaving nothing but casualties My Friend, My Son maybe my Brother in the end We never had no guarantees or The answer lies on the gentle breeze Release, Darkness from Light Release, Give up the fight I write your Eulogy as you sit right by my side And all the wolves start to pine Drink my tears as I decide the fate of your life Which is now broken though once divine Release, Darkness from Light Release, Give up the fight And only a fool will be King, He makes the rules but they don’t mean a thing. I’d rather go, deep into this hole, oh death won’t bother me. Cause you gave me comfort, you gave me joy you gave me pride Find us a place out in the sun I will come look for you when I’m on the other side Back down to the beach where we will run Release, Darkness from Light Release, Give up the fight
