I'm 'running away, from every'thing
That I don't wanna 'face cuz I'm too sober
Just 'hide away til this day's over
I'm 'falling asleep, to live in dreams
Where I don't hafta 'feel this pain that's taken over
And 'in control of where I'm goin
I'm 'almost ready though
I'm finding ways to grow...
I've been leaving these answers left unquestioned
And still have yet to mention
How I know I'll make it through
And I'm needing this msg like a lesson
So I can just quit guessing
Cuz that's all I ever do.
I'm seeing these things, (for the) first time it seems
Like how the hell'd we get this far to just start over
Like we 'hit the ground and just ex'ploded
It's tiering me, but I must proceed
Before it opens 'up it's mouth and swallows whole
The things that I am fighting for

Houseworth - Shine
02:30
|

The shine might fade
And I'm the only one
So I guess I take all the blame
And time won't change
Any of problems, short-comings,
Or God damn ways
And I keep falling with every step I take
And I'm all in, but I'm still failing
(And I'm tired all the time)
I think I lost my shine.
The line might wave
Never crossed but often
Simply pushed out of the way
And I can't see
So I just go blindly
Hoping I am right one day

Houseworth - Brutal
02:54
|
|||
|
Falling and I'm sure to hit ground soon
And break the bones that compose all that holds my soul
Somehow losing myself in this room
I've become, acustomed of, the life that I choose
Finding pieces of you in my room
The time we 'took a walk, dressing up, acting like two fools
Paused my motion as I stared into
Those wicked eyes, floating by, questioning my truth
Racing round my head
Are the better days Ive had
A brighter light ive shed
Face it by myself
And it's brutal looking in
At the broken pieces left
B
Silence on the line has caused
A concern I was not
Pre pared for at all
Void of everything I thought
I'm making progress on
Where my progressions lost
Tripping over words I've spoke too soon
And sure enough, just as love, it's shown me all Ive ruined.
And so the drawing board I run back to
Another plan, attack again, a simple man, a fool

Quick Country Song
I'll play this tired old guitar for one more song,
I'll pull these chords, out of the grain.
I beat my hand against the strings,
grind my fingers until they bleed,
And i don't know if that's enough for you.
Well I try, to be the man you want,
And i try play the songs you want,
And I try. I try.

Drifting Thing - 5 AM
03:22
|

|
Head lights glitter on the crack in my windshield,
Street lights zip on by as I hit top speed.
I think about driving through the guardrail,
680 Northbound driving to God knows where.
Destination unknown,
All I know is I wanna come home to you.
But I'm fighting myself,
And I'm going through hell,
And I'm losing control.
Five AM on the road. (x4)
Now I can't see the road ahead,
I think I'd rather be at the bottom of a cliff instead.
But then there's you,
The one I wanna come home to.
Destination unknown,
All I know is I'd rather be in bed with you.
But I'm fighting myself,
And I'm going through hell,
And I'm losing control.
Five AM on the road. (x4)
These early morning drives,
Bring me to my knees,
These early morning goodbyes,
Bring me to my knees.
Bring me to my knees.
Destination unknown,
All I know is I wanna come home to you.
But I'm fighting myself,
And I'm going through hell,
And I'm losing control.
Five AM on the road. (x4)

Drifting Thing - Alright

Alright
Never been a perfect man,
But that don't change the way you look at me.
You're always there with outstretched hands,
To pull me from the darkness of my mind.
Where would I be, without you?
Probably lost and confused.
I need you by my side, each day and each night.
I hope that's alright.
Never been a perfect man,
But you still hold me like I am.
You're always there to pull me up,
When I'm down and times are tough.
Where would I be, without you?
Probably lost and confused.
I need you by my side, each day and each night.
I hope that's alright.
Where would I be, without you?
Probably lost and confused.
I need you by my side, each day and each night.
I hope that's alright.
I hope that's alright. x8
Never been a perfect man,
But that don't change the way you look at me.
