1. Breathe
Two men
They started walking
Started talking bout better days
One says to the other
We do it all again
Seems I knew I would
And now I found it
Found I got it
I didnīt want this
Somebody help me see
Now I feel it
Feel like Iīve been there
I didnīt need this
Somebody help me breathe
Here we are again
Just face to facing
Each other another day
Who
Well who cares
It always ends up the same
Seems I knew I would
And now I found it
Found I got it
I didnīt want this
Somebody help me see
And now I feel it
Feel that Iīve been there
I didnīt need this
Would Somebody help me stand
And now Iīve told them
Already warned them
I didnīt want this
Somebody help me breathe
If I was them
Then I wanna be
What I see
If I could drag my life in a moment
Wanna know do you want me to go
Gonna keep it all from ending
Never stop myself from pretending
That you always knew that I never could
All I ever really wanted was to be the same
Equal treatment never ever comes
and there they go again
All I ever really wanted was to be like you
So perfect
So worthless
If i could take it all back think again
I would
And now I found it
Found I got it
I didnīt want this
Somebody help me see
Now I feel it
Feel that Iīve been there
I didnīt need this
Somebody help me stand
And now Iīve told them
I didnīt want this
I didnīt need this
Would somebody help me breathe
Would somebody help me breathe
Would somebody help me?
2. Cowboy Hat
Yes he wore a cowboy hat
Each bone broken in his back
All the money and all the gold
Couldnīt buy my love at 8 years old
Now Iīm in love with a girl thats wrong for me
Ask her, she will disagree
Her father was a small time man
With small time dreams and small time hands
But
But I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when i say i dunno
Gone for good in fact but what does it mean
Within a year they always sold and bought
Easy enough to just look at her
Whole world on a silver platter
Was that that bad for me
If I was there the scotch is free
Won round one but its not over
He donīt care cause he donīt know her
True love is not the same
If I could lend a hand in shame
But I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when i say i dunno
Gone for good infact but what does it mean
Within a year they always sold and bought
If I was big
So much easier to see
Donīt hide from me
That which Iīve already seen
You lie to me
More than occasionally
Donīt lie to me
You lied to me
Iīm as high as Iīll ever be
I donīt mind, Stay and see
Theyīve all gone, Why donīt we
Holding hands, you and me
But Iīm as high as iīll ever be
But later on, lies to see
My past is gone, only from me
Iīm alive
But I was there when there was nobody home
Please belirve me when I say I dunno
Gone for good infact but what does it mean
Within a year they always sold and bought
Remember when it was me
Driving come down just for me
And then weīll try as weīve been
3. Leader Of Men
Tell your friends not to think aloud
Until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain
Your voice sounds so hollow
I am not a leader of men
Since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink
Since itīs so hard to swallow
So hard to swallow
So turn the television off
And I will sing a song
And if you suddenly have the urge
You can sing along
I touch your hand, I touch your face
I think the fruit is rotten
Give me lessons on how to breath
Cause I think Iīve forgotten
I think Iīve forgotten
One day, up to a cliff
That overlooked the water
I jumped in to save a girl
It was somebodyīs daughter
And now the ring is on my hand
It was given to me by her
To this day we all sit around
And dream of ways to get higher
To get much highe
4. Old Enough
Sheīs old enough
She knows enough
Sheīs throwing up
So throw her
Out to me
And Iīll treat her like she was mine
Not my belief
You got your way and Iīll get mine
And I canīt eat
I canīt sleep
I want to thank you for coming
And why do we always laugh
While weīre in this discussion
Should have known enough
Never grown enough
Alone enough
To know my
Way will be
The path I wanted to try
If it fails to be
Good for me then Iīd rather die
And I canīt eat
I canīt sleep
I want to thank you for coming
And why do we always laugh
While weīre in this discussion
Back roads always lead to something
Bury her cause her time was cut thin
All the while we just stood and stared
Never cared to help we just got carried away
Lately it seems like my dreams have started to die
It occured to me on the inside I guess so am I
And I canīt eat
I canīt sleep
I want to thank you for coming
And why do we always laugh
Well the last oneīs coming
Standing here on my two feet
Enjoy it now cause it wonīt repeat
Some way
Some how
The things that keep me alive arenīt livin here anymore
5. Worthy To Say
They usually come around about 10 oīclock
You can hear them
You can tell them by the way they knock
Somebody said the other one had a badge
Who told ya, Who told ya
How bout if I stay and you run away
Well come on back and try to get some today
Well somebodyīs gonna do it again
Gonna make me turn against all of my friends
So you better have something damn worthy to say
Theyīre growin dope everywhere around the block
You can smell it
You can tell by the way they talk
Somebody stole five for gasoline
Who told ya, Who told ya
How bout if I stay and you run away
Well come on back and try to get some today
Well somebodyīs gonna do it again
Gonna make me turn against all of my friends
So you better have something damn worthy to say
Iīll never do it again (No I wont)
Lets settle it (We dont)
I canīt afford my life cause Iīm spending it
Since you got just what you wanted
We never do anything anymore
One on the telephone, one on the door
Somebody said revenge was served sweeter cold
I told ya, I told ya
Theyīre growing dope everywhere around the block
You can smell it you can tell it by the way they talk
Somebody stole five for gasoline
Who told ya, Who told ya
How bout if I stay and you run away
Well come on back and try to get some today
Well somebodyīs gonna do it again
Gonna make me turn against all of my friends
So you better have something damn worthy to say
Iīll never do it again (No I wont)
Letīs settle it (We dont)
I canīt afford my life cause Iīm spending it
Since you got just what you wanted
Iīll never do it again (No I wonīt)
Praise myself (I donīt)
I canīt afford my life cause Iīm spending it
Since you got just what you wanted
What you wanted
6. Digginī This
You say you donīt want it
Just watch and youīll flaunt it
You stare at the ceiling
And ignore what Iīm feeling
Well thatīs fine, hey I donīt mind
I can find nothing wrong with it
And you say in your polite way
Oh by the way can you get on with it?
Now that Iīve seen
Not really Diggin This!
Did I ask for your input?
Howīs the taste of your own foot?
To speak and not be right
Youīd like to just rewrite
My life and take what you like
And decide with all of it
And to know that if it goes right
Youīll never find out if I wanted it
Now that Iīve seen
Not really Diggin This!
Now that I know
Not really Diggin This!
Called him twice today
They said he went away
I never wondered why
They tried to hold him
Ainīt never cominī back
Pull out the welcome mat
I never wondered why
They tried to hold him
The way that its goinī
To laugh without knowinī
The way that Iīm feelinī
Inside is unappealinī
Well thatīs fine, hey I donīt mind
I can find nothing wrong with it
And you say in your polite way
Oh by the way can you get on with it?
Now that Iīve seen
Not really Diggin This!
Now that I know
Not really Diggin This!
Not really Diggin This!
7. Deep
And you see much better than I see
And you know all that Iīm thinking
To define or redefine too slow
And it seems all that Iīm sinking
Running through the deep
Gonna find the backwoods
I found out
All day long who will be the big men giving some
And you bleed much better than I bleed
And youīve shown all that is so good
And your word, much better than my word
And you stand right where a hole should
Running through the deep
Gonna find the backwoods
I found out
All day long who will be the big men giving some
To feel devine
To hold onto ones self
To give and to give and
To never receive by myself
Running through the deep (I want it)
Gonna find the backwoods (I need it)
I found out (much more than he did)
All day long who will be the big men giving some
(Give it back somehow)
Giving some (Iīm ready to forgive now)
Running through the deep
Gonna find the backwoods
I found out
All day long who will be the big men giving some
Running through the deep gonna find the back backwoods
I found out gonna get it gonna get it
All day long who will be the big men
Are you really really gonna get it
8. One Last Run
Crafty friends whereīd they all go
Try and find but no one ever knows
You fall down makes you wanna stay
Who the hell would want to anyway
Well Iīm leaving
And I want it all
Forgot it all
Better find this all
And I found out where itīs all at
Better now than Iīm before
Tried it once now I want it more
Memories of are cut in half
Tell the truth then I want you to laugh
Weīre not laughing
And I want it all
Forgot it all
Better find this all
And I found out where itīs all at
Knew it all
Whats it like
Sell it all
Whats your price
9. Not Leavinī Yet
Come lie next to me Jesus Christ
Holes in hand where a cross used to fit just right
The meeting called, the topic. a ladies fate
You donīt have to remind me
I wonīt be late
Please excuse me, Iīm sorry I just canīt wait
And donīt use grandfather as the bait
Down the hall the baby boy just born
Rosary around a crown of thorns
Please excuse me, Iīm sorry I just canīt wait
And donīt use grandfather as the bait
Canīt you see the ladyīs not ready
Hands and fee are bound and unsteady
In the hall the familyīs greiving
Iīm the one who stays
Iīm not leavinī yet
10. Hold Out Your Hand
All men with stars upon the chest
Save yourselves, your family,
Donīt worry ībout the rest
Small child receives light through the crack
The human mile, theyīre never coming back
Hold out your hand and ask for some
Now and again she sits beneath the tree
The sign above reads
Hard Work will Set you Free
Hold out your hand and ask for some
Too late for another direction
Always what weīve got in store
Hurry back weīve all been waiting
We canīt take much anymore
Where are the days where brothers are brothers
A childless mother
Leave it except for one
