In between being asleep and wake there's a place just for broken hearts
And in the chaos and calamity this illusion is to me such a welcomed start
Sheets of clouds wrap around
I'm floating down through a window into my soul
I'm alive yet again I just might be dead
A victim of a lucid love
For anything more than this
Sheets of clouds wrap around
I'm floating down through a window into my soul
My eyes are wide shut and these lies might be all that I got.
Baby if you love me won't you let me know and I'll never ever let you go
But baby if you don't won't you tell me so and I'll always have these...
Sheets of clouds wrap around
I'm floating down through a window into my soul

Tattooed Ambulance
03:26

Swerve,
Into those beautiful curves
Where your lines are so bright
Like a ship on them high seas
Coming to your light
Good, good, guide
Won't you get me home tonight
And floating on these weary arms
Past the point of no return
A telling scar, a reminder of
The love I had before the storm
So sink underneath this imperfect ink
Its meaning is deep and yet it’s perfect to me
Like a busted radio
Playing through the night
Good, good, guide
Won't you get me home tonight
This broken heart needs an ambulance
Emergencies of the scarred
Back and forth, my drug of choice
The love I had before the storm
So sink underneath this imperfect ink
Its meaning is deep and yet it’s perfect to me
On my dying day
They’ll take me away
In a tattooed ambulance

----LYRICS----
This life is like an open book
With torn out pages where the words were
If it's gotta hit, let it hit you right
In between those ailing eyes
Rhythm's such a hurricane
Pounding on my heart like a violent rain
It beats on, it beats on....
Take away the stars
And take away the skies
Well take whatever, oh
You ain't taking me alive
Cause I am the rainmaker, I am the rainmaker
I am the rhythm on this hurricane
I offered you my world
You gave nothing in return
I offered you my world
my world and no return, now..
Oh no you didn't, lover (x4)
While you ride out the storm
on your highest of horses
heart-shaped levees break
But water rises without compromising
And your low road ain't no escape
No, no,
I am the rainmaker, I am the rainmaker
I am the rainmaker, I am it
Oh no you didn't, lover (x4)
I offered you my world
You gave nothing in return
I offered you my world
my world and no return, now..
Oh no you didn't, lover (x4)
I offered you my world
You gave nothing in return
You don't even notice
I offered you my world
You gave nothing in return
You don't seem care
I offered you my world
You came on strong, oh you came on strong
You came on strong, but it wasn't enough

For a guy who's got it all
Well I ain’t gotta lot to show
But a ball in one hand
And a chain in the other
These dreams man they're so heavy
And they rain down forever
But I’m too tired to think
About changes to the weather
Tell me tell me why I find it all
Scribbled written down on the bathroom stall
Sentimental highs and from on low
Scribbled written down on the bathroom stall
The smell of cigarettes and sin
Moving on my soul
I breathe in, I breathe in
I hear the writing on the wall
Tell me tell me why I find it all
Scribbled written down on the bathroom stall
Sentimental highs and from on low
Scribbled written down on the bathroom stall
Well I want to believe in everything
So I think my thoughts from the inside out
Well I’ll take my chances on a big jet plane
And pretend my feet never left the ground
Tell me tell me why I find it all
Scribbled written down on the bathroom stall
Sentimental highs and from on low
Scribbled written down on the bathroom stall

Lemme Hallah Atcha
Incomplete
My little girl the freak
A tortured love
She murders with a velvet touch
She's my little girl the freak
A complicated love indeed
I need her to leave me rest in peace
But she loves it just to hear me scream.
So..
Lemme hallah at you
Lemme hallah at you
Hallah at you at you
Somewhere in the great divide
A woman she done lost her mind
I know the truth and the truth is that
She'll never be that girl again
Somewhere in the great divide
A woman she done lost her mind
She needs me to leave her rest in peace
And yet I love it just to hear her scream
Lemme hallah at you
Lemme hallah at you
Hallah at you at you

Don't Waste Your Time

---LYRICS---
Don't waste Your time
In a dream I was given this here line
At first I wasn't sure but now I sing with clarity and cause
Don't wast ur time
Don't wast ur time
It such a waste of time
To try to change my mind
Dug into this here trench
Oh the Ego's such a killing field
Where echoes off a grand idea
Go to kill and then be killed
Don't wast ur time
Don't wast ur time
It such a waste of time
To try to change my mind
Oh politics is such a bloodsport
A game for masterminds
And all the smoke and mirrors you afford
Wont buy you the truth or a change of mind
I've spent much of life
Parting the wrong from the right
Only to find that three little lefts
Well, it makes the biggest right
Don't wast ur time
Don't wast ur time
It such a waste of time
To try to change a mind
....especially mine.

The Difference A Year Makes
Well I’ve been rolling this stone
For far too long
Up and down a hill that ain’t got a heart
Ain’t got a soul
No place to go
And the only pull it knows is gravitational
Yet it’s notoriously glorious
Oh what a difference that a year makes
Oh what a difference in a year
Oh what a difference that a year makes
What a difference it makes
Well I’ve been sweeping this floor
For far too long
With the newest broom the latest rumor has to use
Yea, it sweeps nice
And yea, it sweeps clean
But the only problem’s it don’t sweep me off my feet
Yet it’s notoriously glorious
Oh what a difference that a year makes
Oh what a difference in a year
Oh what a difference that a year makes
What a difference it makes
Oh what a difference it makes
Oh what a difference it makes
Oh what a difference it makes
Oh what a difference you’ve made
So let’s stay young and foolish (x4)

Down Goes The Champ
03:44
|

---LYRICS---
Born in the shadows
I was born in the shadows
Fighting through the battles that we can’t control
All we ever wanted was a piece of the pie
And now we’ll fight for our lives
Yeah, we fight, yeah we fight
Yes we fight for life
Fight, yeah we fight
Almost all of the time
It only took one blow
And to bring down the champ
Hey man, it only took one blow
And down went the champ
Well if you count us down but not out
Because we’re getting up again
Don’t you ever turn your back on a fighter when…
He’s fight for all that he can, yes he fights..
Yeah we fight, yeah we fight
Yes we fight for life
Fight, yeah we fight
Almost all of the time
Well we fight through these battles
Almost all of the time
Yes we fight, through these battles
On the regular
Oh when we fight, yes we win
Oh when we fight, yes we win

What Goes Up....
02:48
|

Do you remember when we were young...
All the city lights going out over Philadelphia?
With little back and forth
This love is lost
And hearts are breaking
With little back and forth
What goes up never comes down
Do you remember despite the rust...
On the night the city lights went out on us?
With little back and forth
This love is lost
And hearts are breaking
With little back and forth
What goes up never comes down

Souderton

---LYRICS---
There’s an imperfection in this perfect world
It’s where I’m from, oh lord
It’s a two-light town with dueling directions…
Much like myself
We all got demons, yes they’re happy & sad
Mine are these streets and they cling to the past
Well my heart is fire so don’t you go lying
My days, they are numbered
Yet stuck in a holding pattern
Holding out for my home….
(Chorus)
Well I think it’s about time
I accept myself
I’m from Souderton and nowhere else
Nothing more and nothing less
And what I have to show for it is this
‘S’ up on my chest
I’m a hungry flower living in the shadows
Of them big city lights, oh oh
Well it’s a little town
Yet look what it’s done
I need water, and I need sun
These are the needs I can’t bear to be without
Oh without my home…
(Chorus II)
I lit a fire, I lit a flame
On Central and School that burns till this day
It spread down Broad then through my veins
It’ll burn this town straight to the ground
‘til nothing remains the same
‘Til nothing remains
(Chorus III)

Zoltar Says

---LYRICS---
I wanna be big so big
As big as the ocean
I wanna be a tree
Taller and stonger
Just u wait and see
One day ur gonna pay
I'm sick of this being a kid it stinks
I'm grown if only my body would show it now
Zoltar, speak to me
I'm making a wish
For something different
I used to think,
One day oh how I'm gonna be…
The king of these here streets
And life will be oh so simple & kind
But that sentiment has frozen with time
And all I want is to be a kid again
Zoltar, speak to me
I'm making a wish
For something different
U don't just get up and walk out
On somebody you love, you love, you love
I tried telling you…
There’s a million reasons for me to go
And only one for me to stay. You.
