Nothin's Keepin' Ya

Hey good lookin'
Who are you? What's your name?
Where do you come from?
I am listening
with open ears, an open heart,
Tell me from the start
Hey where are you from?
You look so lonesome being here
What are you problems?
What's your confession dear?
Followed too many lines
Been so for behind
Got lost so many times
Nothing's left to shine
You look so happy being free
Now tell me what was keeping you
What was keeping you
What was keeping you
From leaving here
What was keeping you from leaving here?
Those two-timin' boots
No counting dues
You've worn these shoes
Too many times to choose
You chose to look to close
You chose to stand too near
Drawn back in fear
Ain't that the answer dear?
Oh ain't the answer clear
You look so happy being free
Having won, having sung your way
Now tell me what was keeping ya
Nothin's keeping' ya
He's not keeping' ya
I'm not keepin' ya
Oh from leaving here
Hey good looking'
I know that face
You're on your way
You're gonna be okay

Jesus was a carpenter
But the devil's got my back
I don't know what you've been taught
But he ain't ever coming back
Your mama said that yes she'd take you there
But it looks to me that you are going nowhere
Jesus was a carpenter
But the devil's got my back
I don't know what you've been taught
But he ain't ever coming back
And all you temperate souls
Have got nothing left to lose
'Cause the day just turned to night
And left you to the moon
Jesus was a carpenter
But the devil's got my back
I don't know what you've been taught
But he ain't ever coming back
She called you up to know just what to do
But you looked at her and said you've got to choose
Between the black and the white and the grey in between
And the black and the white and the grey in between (x4)
Jesus was a carpenter
But the devil's got my back
I don't know what you've been taught
But he ain't ever coming back
Jesus was a carpenter
But the devil's got my back
I don't know what you've been taught
But he ain't ever coming back
And all you temperate souls
Have got nothing left to lose
'Cause the day just turned to night
And left you to the moon
I said all you temperate souls
Have got nothing left to lose
'Cause the day just turned to night
And left you to the moon
Jesus was a carpenter
But the devil's got my back
I don't know what you've been taught
But he ain't ever coming back
Jesus was a carpenter
But the devil's got my back
Yeah the devil's got my back
Yeah the devil's got my back
I don't know what you've been taught
But he ain't ever coming back
He ain't ever coming back
He's never coming back

Equilibrium
03:43
|
|||
|
Oh how I hate this feeling
I find it less than what some might call appealing
Human life is nothing more
Than attempting to maintain a state of equilibrium
Happiness it comes and goes
The equilibrium it knows
Nothing more than what you tell yourself
Then how did this become
A place where everybody feels so numb
And who told you to come back
To come back and combat the fools
Living life is harder than it looks
Even when you've purchased what you think's the perfect book
Hurt a tree you hurt yourself
Makes no difference how much wealth you have in your possession
Existence is its own parade
It comes and goes but never fades
You never know if you've got time to spare
Then how did this become
A place where everybody feels so numb
And who told you to come back
To come back and combat the fools
We're chasing the answer 'round the bush
Asking how many words we use
To describe the truth
the truth (x3)
Then how did this become
A place where everybody feels so numb
And who told you to come back
To come back and combat the fools
To come back and combat the fools
Existence is its own parade
It comes and goes but never fades
You never know if you've got time

Majesty of the Night
03:39
|
|||
|
In the majesty of the night
Your beard and my fingers entwined
And the look on your face makes me think
That this place is no better than that which I come from
The beauty of the planets and stars
From mercury all down to mars
And although we love pluto we've taken its spot
And I think we've got hopes for another
Well autumn calls for a change
And although we both love it I don't know your name
You've lost you mind too, you're note reads how are you?
I'm fine I am here 'cause I've finally met you
You call yourself an expert in pain
Don't you know we all hold that name
And those facts that you read they need to be said
So the good in us will never be wasted
Well autumn calls for a change
And although we both love it I don't know your name
You've lost you mind too, you're note reads how are you?
I'm fine I am here 'cause I've finally met you
And the confidence of the wild ones never fades
When they're looking as pretty as can be
But the confidence means nothing, it means nothing,
It means nothing like ending of a tune
Well autumn calls for a change
And although we both love it I don't know your name
You've lost you mind too, you're note reads how are you?
I'm fine I am here
I'm fine I am here
I'm fine I am here 'cause I've finally met you
I'm fine I am here 'cause I've finally met

I'm tired of this place, I've had enough
I took a sip from the devil's cup
But he said no no no no..
You've got nowhere to go woah
Look at the time, it's nothing new
This tainted wine is prodding at the truth
But I've got so much baggage you don't have a clue
Yeah I've got so much baggage you don't even have a clue
But if you come around here don't expect any changes
Yeah if you come around here don't expect any changes
'Cause the damage is done
And they're looking to build in other places
Yeah they'll build in other places just to burn it down
Just to burn burn burn the mother
Burn burn burn the mother
Burn burn burn the mother down
Down to the depth of darkness where the shadows
Down where they've built so goddamn high they run out of sky
Oh why?
I once loved this place
I've since called it's bluff
This amazing grace we've never had enough
Yeah we've got so much hardship never enough love
Yeah we've got so much hardship because we're running out of love
Yeah so much hardship because
Because we've run out of love

Eternal Life
02:53
|
|||
|
If we had eternal life
We'd have no need to track the time
No daylight turning into dark
No place on earth would be too far
There'd be no fear no sadness
Just people void of happiness
Emotion here would not exist
No swelling tears nor fists
And if you wish to feel
You'd learn to pray at ever meal
To live to die another day
For something to whisk you away
Nature'd have no beauty
The moon and stars would have no duty
Human life we'd sacrifice
Blood our only vice
And if you wish to feel
You'd learn to pray at ever meal
To live to die another day
For something to whisk you away
If we had eternal life
We'd have no need to track the time
No daylight turning into dark
No place on earth would be too far

Sometimes
03:31
|
|||
|
Sometimes I feel like dying
When others have seen me crying
Sometimes I get real lonely
When I don't know where to be
Where to be
And if you have something to say to me
It always worsens when you speak discreetly
It's never complimentary but sometimes necessary
You know I'll take it badly anyway
I've had those times when I felt like
A feather would crush away my life
How dare you tell me there's nothing
Wrong with me I'm clearly struggling
I'm struggling
And if you have something to say to me
It's always better when you speak freely
It's never complimentary but sometimes necessary
You know I'll take it badly anyway
Told you I'm not looking for something else
I know they're not looking back to see if I fell
I'm worth nothing to them, I'm worth not a dime
They've thrown me away almost every time

Anger
02:34
|
|||
|
I'm picking up the pieces
And I'm putting them in the box
Cleaning up the mess I've made
Untying all the knots
And even though there's nothing left for me
I'm committing these mistakes to memory
And though there's nothing left
I can't believe I'm standing here dwelling on all those tears
Oh anger clouds your vision
This wrong can't be forgiven
So climb this one last rung
and even out the sum
We're picking up the pieces
And we're putting them in the slots
making all the right mistakes
And still we did get caught
And even though there's nothing left for us
No ray of hope or everlasting trust
And even though there's nothing left we can't believe we haven't lied
But do believe we've tried
Woah anger clouds your vision
This wrong can't be forgiven
So climb this one last rung
And even out the sums
Well even though there's nothing left for me
I'm committing these mistakes to memory
And though there's nothing left
I can't believe I'm standing here dwelling on all those years
Oh anger clouds your vision
This wrong can't be forgiven
So climb this one last rung
And even out the sums
Yes even out the sums

Hold Your Head Up
02:16
|
|||
|
Hold your head up high
Breathe another empty sigh
From your lungs
So carefully
Open up your mind
Head their warnings
They won't lie
So kindly lift your spirits with the tide

Si Jamais
02:54

Si jamais tu décides que tu veux m'écouter
J'arrêterais de chanter et je te parlerais
Si jamais tu te penses meilleur que moi
Arrêtes d'abord de t'lamenter je n'aurais plus confiance en toi
Si tu te penses meilleur(e) que moi
Mon amour ce sera fini
Si jamais tu te penses meilleur(e) que moi
Tu te trouveras sans abris
Si j'aurais l'envie de t'en parler
Tu ne m'écouterais pas peu importe tu ne connais pas chanter
Si tu te trouves une nouvelle amie
Ne t'inquiète pas je serais contente jusqu'à l'infini
Si tu te penses meilleur(e) que moi
Mon amour ce sera fini
Si jamais tu te penses meilleur(e) que moi
Tu te trouveras sans abris
Si jamais tu te penses meilleur(e) que moi

Final Resting Place
03:29
|
|||
|
I paid for you to leave this place
I traded truth for second place
I've always wondered about that day
You simply shut your mouth and let the guns take name
I asked for her to mend my shame
I tried so hard to have you mistaken for
Another man another time and place
This way you'll never lose another goddamn race
I had to soothe her aching wounds
She paid the price without the proof
She needed another someone too
She wanted everyone who ever wanted you
You had your chance, blew it away
You danced your dance, they've nothing good to say
So take a number wipe of your face
This will no longer be your final resting place

Wonderland
03:01
|

|
If I were the troll caught in your wonderland
Struggling to fight against the evil man
Trying to walk over my bridge again
If I were the princess you found in your dreams
Laying here to show you the love I feel
I'd just be here to tell you that's it' not here
Happy places and bubbly faces
And all the things you find when
You're walking through your dreamland in the night
You will be the one to row my boat ashore
If I can get the sheep to give me bags of wool
He is always leaving me wanting more
You’ve paid too much attention to the ugly toad
You should keep your eyes on the golden yellow road
Then maybe you’d be able to carry my load
Happy places and bubbly faces
And all the things you find when
You're walking through your dreamland in the night
I’m tired of the lazy way you spend your days
Your smoke rings look like they’re made out of purple haze
I get there and you tell me that I should stay
I’m locked now in your house made out of gingerbread
Your piercing cackles tell me that you’ll soon be fed
The cauldron is so hot my skin’s turning red
Happy places and bubbly faces
And all the things you find when
You're walking through your dreamland in the night
If I were the troll caught in your wonderland
Struggling to fight against the evil man
Trying to walk over my bridge again
I am now the princess you’ve lost in your dreams
You're pleading me to show you the love I feel
I’m only here to tell you that it’s not real
