GASSED
Check my coat, take my hat
I don’t think I’m ever coming back
One more day in this place
And my life is gonna waste away
I’m gassed..... too much too fast......gassed
I don’t know how my mind can take it
I don’t know if my heart can shake it
Leaving it all behind...so tempting
Any day of the week takes a century
In a dream, I have been,
To a place where I can reign supreme
What’s my pleasure, at my leisure
I’ll do anything to ease the pressure
I’m gassed..... too much too fast......gassed
I don’t know how my mind can take it
I don’t know if my heart can shake it
Leaving it all behind...it’s tempting
Any day of the week takes a century

Everybody Falls Apart

EVERYBODY FALLS APART
I don’t belong any more than you do
I get let off just as much as you do
I’ve grown accustom to the thought
Whoever told you there was meaning
Now they’re messing with your mind
Everybody falls apart
Coping is a work of art
Coming down is just the start of something never ending
Holding on but hanging by a thread
Everybody bottoms out
Shouldering a world of doubts
Finding what it’s all about is something never ending
Holding on but hanging by a thread
To say unlucky couldn’t be more true
I make my bed with demons everynight
I know I’ll be alright…I take a dive… come crawling back
Whoever told you there was meaning
Now they’re messing with your mind

COOL YOUR HEAD
Some things you can’t forget, regret is self abuse
Each day the sun goes by, but don’t try to keep it here with you
The die has been cast so relax... there’s no rescue
Think of the time well spent
Or you”ll live a life hung in suspense
So lighten up and cool your head
This state your in is near it’s end
You know the dark days can’t live forever
So open up and cool your head
You reap the seeds you’ve sown, it’s unknown what time will do
You already gave your remorse.....it’s a powerful force
It’s O.K. now, but you know it could come back soon
So you were wrong, Oh you didn’t know it hurt so long
So lighten up and cool your head
This state your in is near it’s end
I know the good days can’t wait forever
So open up and cool your head
There’s something on your mind boy, there’s panic in your eyes boy,
A trembling inside boy, it’s gonna be just fine boy
Some things you can’t forget, regret is self abuse
And when your guard is down you found you can’t hold your ground
This is a one-man war
And just then a calm sets in
...... Oh it’s been too long, where have you been?

AS GOOD AS IT WILL EVER BE
I don’t want to take time off, I don’t quit until we’ve tried
Nothing easy to maintain, now and then we’re all unsatisfied
I was lit a like time bomb, you were hanging around waiting to go off
You would get me to calm down, I would fan the flames and light the spark
That’s just a memory to you now
There were times it was torture, I would hide for days just to escape
There were times it was rapture, you could see the future in my face
I would break like a small boy, I would keep emotions in the dark
You would play like a princess,
I would make you Queen and crown your heart
You’re my reflection like the ocean to the sky
Oh one more time...and to survive
I need you to breathe.... deep
I don’t know why....but I beg to agree
‘Cause good for you, is good for me, is as good as it will ever be
I don’t want to get angry, I don’t want to waste time taking sides
Middle ground that we came to, never seemed to make up any time
You don’t have to accuse me, if you need to blame then I confess
It’s was a mutual feeling, opposite attraction at it’s best.
You’re my reflection like the ocean to the sky

CAPONE
So you got a real crisis, and you’re gonna face off
Better get yourself an automatic, no time for peace talks
When Al Capone needed things done
He’d break in with guns drawn
Need to turn them into believers, and you’ve tried to arm twist
Take a lesson from the old schoolers, just try mob justice
If Al Capone was here now
He’d stand up and take a bow
Machine Gun Coercion
No negotiation, you don’t care what’s fair
It’s terror and warfare ....terror and warfare
When Al Capone needed things done
He’d break in with guns drawn
Machine Gun Persuasion
“You can get more done with kind words and a gun”
