Can't Buy an Emotion

coming down
from what's been done
see no life in anyone
it's too soon
and it's not right
got to fight this
every night
how do I know what's going on?
reading minds and writing songs
I don't want to feel
I can't buy an emotion
I can't get there
running fast
burning bright
but it won't last
hope's eternal
life is short
love is precious
hold that thought

Homeground

these unforgiving paths I tread
are full of hate and spite
pain and bitterness
i set my sights for home
and see how far i get
but the last bus left without me
it's the story of my life
i'm going back to where i came from
i'm going back to my homeground
the path i take
the path that leads me back to you
the comfort of the roads i know
can deceive and leave me bleeding
the faces that i took for granted
can rise up and destroy
a look, a word, a feeling
another broken boy

Not in your Hands
03:15

took a trip but didn't arrive
bad crash but we will survive
drama on the carriageway
fine day turns to bad day
i blame it on the stars
i blame it on the moon
i blame it on the fool
who pulled out on me too soon
no warning from above
no angel at my side
all i get's a chance
and an instinct for life
worse things happen in nyc
how bad does it have to be?
your life not in your hands
other people have other plans
let's make a pact so we can agree
i won't bother you
and you won't bother me
let's make a pact so we can agree
i won't trouble you
and you won't trouble me

Out of Days

take your time love
this world won't end soon
it's not easy
living life in just one room
take your time love
this pain's diminishing
when you're ready
walk outside in to the sun
there's not much that we can do
just grit our teeth and push on through
what could you do?
where could you go?
these heavy days
they take their toll
take a breath now
feel the air inside of you
now you're moving
this is what you've got to do
drift along now
all you see is out of phase
makes it harder
moving in and out of days

Rabbits

starts off with a cider
or a little measure
we're so seducted
by easy pleasures
fall into patterns
patterns and habits
now life's as ordered
as a box of rabbits
and it's easy to lose your way
promise yourself
start again today
uneasy allies
best friend in a glass
one hundred percent
our love will last
this room is spinning
so i can't see
what's so appealing
in reality?
only the insane
stay dry and clean
only the desperate
drink windowlene
no bottle big enough
no drug is strong enough
to blot out this world
when you need it to be gone
