The Hornet's Nest 11:48

THE HORNETS NEST 'I kicked the hornet's nest, and (the bees they) stung me to death 'And you played with fire, but you were saved by the water 'And we’ve walked side by side, since you were seven and I was nine 'But the winds have always blown, different for us both (Chorus) 'And we live side by side, and your field is green and alive, while mine just withers and dies, something’s' not right 'But you have no words, to explain this mystery that we have fallen into, oh and few make it through 'So I guess we (just) keep pressing on, until someone wins the race, who gets the better deal, who gets the bitter end 'It's you my friend, for whom the stars seem aligned, but I guess I get what I deserve, for being bitter envious, I get the dirt ‘My canoe went over, over the waterfall ‘And your (only) scratched and bemired, (from getting) lost in the thistle and the brier ‘You’ve always offered your hand, to me in the sinking sand ‘But I’m afraid we must depart, I’ll go left and you go right ‘

Tale Of A Vampire 09:40
lyrics

I am a vampire bloodthirsty fool trying to be noble, trying to be true I am afraid the delight and even of the dark someone light a candle I've lost that spark I stayed up all night listening to russian composers and I got lost in my sorrows Under my covers is where I hide, until the end of time I don't want a communicate and I dont wanna relate (bridge) I am a victim and I am thief, with all my blame and all my grief I am crying to the walls (Chorus) So take a wooden stake and drive it through my heart because If i am not awake I am better off dead And If I am not around I am better off in the ground So give me sanctuary in the morning light, give me one more chance to make it right Verse 5 Darling you don't know me, you think I am handsome and tall but the truth is I feel like a boy so small I spend all my days hiding from the rain, reading my library books in these warm wooden nooks I found I know I seem like coolhand luke calm and collected but the truth is I am frantic like a monsoon I took a shower to wash off the lies, to see if the hot water could wash off the lies (bridge) (chorus)

Bury The Hatchet 08:52

Bury The Hatchet And Commune With Me 'Bury the hatchet, and patch it up, patch it up Because no one wants to live with grudges, just to spite, the people who have hurt you 'So Marry yourself to the high road,love and forgiveness, they go hand in hand 'It's easy to play the victim(let yourself die), when you feel like, you've been stabbed with daggers But I beseech you to let it roll off you, don't let your wounds fester,discuss and move on 'Yeah life is short, so I'll try not be short with you 'Soon we will be dead and cold, so I'll try not to give you the cold shoulder 'I'll be bolder and try to commune with you 'Lately you've been the insect and I've felt like repellent, just get the hell away from me 'We've become, disconnected lines, so hang up the phone lets try again 'We're arrows, from bent and broken bows, that often miss eachother's mark, but let's take it in stride 'I know it's somtimes feels better to let the truth become a circus mirror, But I entreat you, to hold on , white knuckled, to the ropes of objectivity, to the ropes of reality

lyrics

Don't Waste Your Time Verse 'Fear, is in my blood, it keeps me from being known and being(feeling) loved 'Many times, I've walked along the train tracks, but they always take me back, to a place I've known too long 'And every night, when I go to sleep, I have such confidence, but when I awake I feel so naseous (Chorus) 'That's when I hear the voices, devils whispering in my ear They say don't waste your time, don't waste your time Verse 'So here I go again, on a roll I think I am, but I am spiralling out of control, over the cliff to the rocks below 'Somedays, I can't find stable ground, where will I build my home, where can my roots go deep deep down 'Oh there are times, when I can feel the warmth of another soul, but summer is almost gone, and I can feel winter in my bones (Chorus) 'That's when I hear the voices, devils whispering in my ear They say don't waste your time 'Oh but one day I'll se the truth, I'll know my place and worth in this world, and I'll scream right back "don't waste your time" 'I am leaving this restaurant, because I've had enough of the kitchen serving me lies, I say "don't waste my time, don't waste my precious time"

lyrics

I am in a bad state of mind I fell down the well and the sun turned its back on me what ever shall I do, whatever shall I do (Chorus) I never wanted this, but I guess you get what you paid for a couple of stones and they break my bones cast in the shadows the records play their same sad songs and the cold floor it cries for me whatever shall you do, whatever shall I do (chorus) So this is the end, I'll lay down my bloodied sword I'll look up at the sky and scream why, why, why (chorus)

Smoke In The House 06:07
lyrics
buy track
There's smoke in the house there are ashes on the ground and we we sit alone, in our own respective zones There are writing on the wall There is blood on the carpet and we must watch our step, as we get closer to the edge (chorus) And I tried to tell you what was going on And I tried to warn you what was going wrong But we left out all the important words, and we got caught up in our emotions and all the smoke sorrounded us, so we couldn't see what was in front of us and the house burnt down around us, cause we couldn't see what was in front of us Verse 3 Now I guess we've closed the doors and the wolves will have their way with us so turn up the noise,so you don't have to hear me being destroyed And like adam was made from sand so we will return to the land, and it will be like we never were, and the world will continue to turn (chorus)

Hey, everyone is here, to celebrate the day you were born So will raise a glass, to the man, humble and wise, may you live to see your son rise Doesn't it feel good to be loved, doesn't it feel good to be blessed from above Doesn't it feel good to know, that you are not alone It's so rare to know that someone truely cares Hey, Will dance the night away, with merry little songs and bottles of the finest wine we've all got something to say, but don't be afraid, for these are good words about a man, who truely deserves them And When your time is up, your funeral will be a buzz, with friends and family people who loved thee

For The Journey Ahead 'Blessings be upon you as you live your life May you rise and overcome the challenges that lay ahead 'May you find what you love And always stick to those guns May you crave the deepest parts, of this earth and man (Chorus) 'And one day you'll have a son, and sing him this song You'll teach him all the things you know and some things you do not And when he's old enough you'll send him off, a soldier, ready to do fight 'cause all you can do is pray, that he makes it through the day, and someday he'll sing this song 'Blessings be upon you, I wish you the best and the worst in life 'May you always seek out truth; let it be as the clothes you wear 'Embrace all the colors of world, have an open heart and an open mind 'And never forget that you are loved, my heart is full of pride

'Darling do you love me enough for me to let you down And oh my love do you trust me enough to shoot an apple off of your head 'Cause I want you to know me, naked as I am But if that's too much, then let's go ahead and shut it down (chorus) 'Cause I don't want to be alone when we are together, I don't want to be strangers deaf and mute Cause if we are not a team, we are on opposing sides If we are not parrellel lines, then we are just ships passing, just ships passing in the night 'And oh I love how you touch me, but we need more than lust 'And time won't make us closer, if there was nothing to bring us together 'Cause I want to be lovers, in body mind and soul But if that's not working out for us, then I guess we must let go (chorus)

Forest Home 09:13
lyrics

it was the summer of 76, we forgot our tent in the wilderness, so we unrolled our bags and slept underneath the stars we were kids, you with flowers in your hair and I had my share of boyish charm, we were ready for adventure, we'd go anywhere chorus and it felt so good to be young to be free, to be far removed from the world and all its woes, and for a while it felt like we were home, it felt like home we found a boat, and floated down stream, and mother nature welcomed us, it was like a dream, oh we had hope, we had directon , we were not alone We fell in love, with the peace and quiet, just the two of us, far away from the riots, and at night we built a fire and to eachother we spilt forth our life desires it was the winter of 98, twenty two years of gaining weight, children, debt, life and death, oh a relationship of love and hate One night I stumbled upon, those photographs of 76 when we were quicker to jump, ready to smile, lighter it seemed, oh it seems like such a long time, ago Oh now my love, we are 82, oh and regrets we've had a few, but we've raised fine children, we did our best, we lived life to the fullest, forget the rest oh so now my love, the time has come, to depart from this mortal coil, I just want you to know If I had to do it again, I'd still toil it with you, this journey with my closest friend
