Back
i'm goin’ back to the way that it was
i’m goin‘ back to the place that i love
i am goin’ back to the starting line
im goin’ back to the start of time
im goin’ back before the music fades
im goin back to an empty
page
im goin back,back,back…
i'm goin back before the dinosaur
i'm goin back to the fiery core
i'm goin back to against the wall of sleep
i'm goin back to see what lies beneath
i'm goin back to see whats hiding there
i'm goin back to enjoy the air
i'm goin back, back, back
nothing ever looks the same as you
remember it to be
everything looks quite smaller in the hand
well money ain’t worth its weight in gold
i want to find the truth i was never told
and here i am again locked out in
the bitter cold
nothing ever looks the same as you
remember it to be
everything looks quite smaller in the hand
well money ain’t worth its weight in gold
i want to find the truth i was never told
and here i am again locked out in
the bitter cold
im going back to the way it was
im going back to the place i love
im going back to the starting line
im going back to the scene of the crime
im going back before the daylight fades
im going back before they turn the page
im going back, back, back
im going back, back, back
im going back, back, back

Rust iron sun
high up on telephone pole
watching the crows as they crow
making some plans for tomorrow
low, down in the dirt kicking dust,
give me a king i can trust
and I will show you a mirror never been broken
memories of days past by me
in a flash of light that blinds me
driving in my car you always tagged along
from a place somewhere,
gravity knows no bounds
when all that is said and done
what will you shine upon?
my rust iron sun
lie down on this river bed
once there were fish over head
quench this thirst when it's hard to swallow
well here where everything moves so fast
drink up to the very last
take one great step for man
as he drowns in a pool of quicksand
for centuries you watched worlds struggle
you watched as empires fell to rubble
you carved a message in the sky as the night falls
from a place somewhere…
gravity knows no bounds
when all that is said and done
what will you shine upon?
my rust iron sun
for centuries you watched worlds struggle
watched as empires fell to rubble
you carve a message in the sky as the night falls
from a place somewhere…
gravity knows no bounds
when all that is said and done
what will you shine upon?

old mill road
15 miles down the old mill road
that’s the place that i'll lay my bones
walk for days in the burning sun
walk until the day was done
at the night the moon stood overhead
across the bridge at the rivers edge
saw the man who called it home
beneath the bridge on the old mill road
he said: 15 years down in old mill town
had a home until they burned it down
took my wife and my kid away
locked me up for what they'd never say
time ticked by my revenge did too
vowed that i would see it through
time sure kills when your left alone
down and out on the old mill road
oh... I said all roads lead somewhere
oh... I said look here boy i'm already there
never had such a stolen day
for all life brings life takes away
white lines dash beneath my feet
roll like hills far out of reach
saw the man who called it home
beneath the bridge on the old mill road
oh... I said all roads lead somewhere
oh... I said look here boy i'm already there

what gravity’s done
why does the rain sometimes taste so bittersweet?
when a flood can sweep a town away
with every flower that brings a face such happiness
up thru cracks a single weed starts an overthrow
and i try each day
to sing your praise
when gravity is pulling me away
why does the wind come at me like a brakeless train
a single blow can bring down a castle wall
time standing still it brings a chance for all to
take a breath
up thru the snow a rose has met it's untimely death
and i try to say
as time ticks away
it's gravity that has got me in its sway
and i'm holding on when it all falls thru
yes it's gravity that draws me back to you
and im holding on when it all falls thru
yes its gravity that draws me back to you
and i'm holding on when it all falls thru
and its gravity that draws me back to you
and i'm holding on when it all falls thru
yes its gravity that draws me back to you

Jigsaw Man
life is full of questions like sand is to a beach
my finger trace the moon as if its in my reach
scratching at an itch that's never been found
a lot like a remedy kind of bitter goin' down
the afternoon dissolves under a magnifying glass
hopeless conversations looking for the exit ramp
puzzles off the table, the one we said we do
a lot like life , when the tornadoes coming through
it's a kick to the head, at the closing bell
heavens in foreclosure, and the word is sell
gonna make the pieces fit, meet the new king
the jigsaw man
well everywhere he walks, he finds another way thru
if he could see the future what better could he do
no happy endings for heroes get tossed like paper bags
in line for the thrown, a cinderella in rags
lost in the ruin of a private hell
i'm coming back for my part cause i have lived to tell
dress it up and make it fit, here's the new king the jigsaw man
well it's a verse then a chorus, a kick to the can
ready for your close up wherever you stand
dressed up like a train wreck, out on the weekend
the jigsaw man
holding pieces all the players arrive
into the mystic to the edge and dive
if life's a puzzle and we had our share
then all my concerns are gone with the air
holding pieces all the players arrive
into the mystic to the edge and dive
if lifes a puzzle and we have a share
then all my concerns are gone with the air
well it's a kick to the head, at the closing bell
heavens in foreclosure, and the word is sell
gonna make the pieces fit, meet the new king
gonna make the pieces fit, meet the new king
gonna make the pieces fit, here's the new king
the jigsaw man

had me believe

had me believe
you with such confidence
kept close to the sleeve
nothing is making sense,
you'd have me believe
down by the rivers edge
you cast the dreams aside
its a long lonely ride
Somethings are better faced,
right from the start
one of the might of beens,
a cut straight to the heart
failure connected all, the dotted line has
turned a twisted fuse
longer than shadows are cast
this really might be our last
time we're face to face, in similar place
the answer somewhere between where lines
the real message gets blurred
ponder an outcome that isn't built to fail
we're miles from an antidote out along the
vapor trail
strung out like xmas lights it only takes
seconds to reveal
longer than shadows are cast
this really might be our last
it’s time we're face to face, in similar place
answer somewhere between where lines
the real message gets blurred
you with such confidence
kept close to the sleeve
nothing is making sense,
you'd have me believe
down by the rivers edge cast the dreams aside
its a long lonely ride
longer than shadows are cast
this really might be our last
longer than shadows are cast
Had me believe this too shall pass
yes it too shall pass...

domino falls
under umbrellas a gal and a fella
walkin the street hand in hand
just like a postcard that’s ripped into shreds
then gets glued back together for a laugh
its a chain reaction, a kick to the stall
a house made of cards built 30 ft. tall
a cause and effect like a human trainwreck
goin down domino falls
over the side in a barrel for two
its a long ride down,
a half a lifetime with you
the perfect artifact its promised return
some things should never come back
once upon a time just a minute ago
there was hope not to go it alone
but like a cold splash of water that could never sustain
you're the fire that no one has guts to contain
and whats put into motion has our backs up against it
we watch another domino fall
into the spiral again and again
we watch another domino falls
and what’s put into motion has our backs up against it
we watch another domino fall
into the spiral again and again
we watch as the domino falls
we watch as the domino falls

rings true
careful what you dream
might jump up and bite you
just about the time your gambling' days are through
take a look around might be your finest hour
seen enough to doubt when it all rings true
wive tales junk mail - spiritual healing
i’d buy the brooklyn bridge if it would satisfy you
stranger things have vanished and made there way back thru
never say never if the words ring
true
true
fortress built by friends who stood right by you
just to disappear when the shuring gave way
tragic like a play without its ending
anything can happen when the words ring true
tell it like it is, can’t paint a shadows down
to watch it disappear when the sun comes round
paint away whats darkest at the core of you
where your free to ride,
hear the bells ring true
tell me darlin,tell me what there putting down
nothings truly lost until it’s found
beating wings of angels keep a beating thru
as the clock struck twelve, hear the bells
ring true
just about the time your gambling' days are through
take a look around might be your finest hour
seen enough to doubt when it all rings true
seen enough to doubt when it all rings true

imposter's tears
03:54

imposters tears
one day you’ll wake up to find its just a bad dream
in someone elses head there for a ride
here’s to the run when there’s no where left to hide
wearing the lie on your face
like a mask someone gave you
disquised head to toe at last it bleeds right thru
looks like gunpowder and paint can’t patch the roof
oh when the medicine is wearing off
into the ether my thoughts are tossed
ramed in the headlights a silhouette blacker than
the years
one day the hand on the wheel will stop steering
trust in the curve a heart beats 3/4 time
truth in the rearview is darker than the mine
streets in a cloud of dusted conversation
the end of the line you’ll sell another fool
looks like attempting to fly, wasn’t worth the try
oh when the medicine is wearing off
into the ether my thoughts have crossed
with a box of landmines, some cigarettes
with a note the coast is clear
never trust imposters tears
never cried imposters tears
one day you’ll wake up to find its just a bad dream

whitewashed
how did we end up in this place again
when we swore we would never return
so much for promises that wash away
it's just a whitewash erasing out the day
so much for people and their words of hope
hang me on with every inch of rope
hey silver sister its old bastards luck
you give your all and now it's you whose fucked
no sense in fighting with the undertow
and i've tried more than once to stay away
you held the world like a basketball
you took yer shot with the silent roar
the stands are dark now and the lights are down
no one has come to say they're still around
almost asleep you whisper off and say
it's a whitewash kind of day.
