Forked River

I'm lost for words, from the cold things I've heard, in the context, of the things that I've observed,
Merchant sold my joy and soul for lots of crops and wine and gold, and maybe one day we'll grow old, obtain the chance to raise the stone, of our enemys graves they gave me nothing but a heart of coal,
Tide comes, tide goes, it's alright though, seasons change the trees and me,
I must say without your coat this winter's getting awfully cold, it's so dark and sedentary, metaphoric cemetery, I know that you're better than me, I don't have to try, playing the good guy,
I know life just blows right by you, demons tend to sit beside you, let them speak, explore your memories, you'll soon be 23, look what they've done to me, it's never been so easy, it's never felt so free,
All these grey thoughts ruin my day, in the shade continue hiding, fucking burnout, coastal highway, everybody looks so sideways, their squinted eyelids, was it something I did? Was it something I did??

Old Saigon

Oh, oh, I'm so bitter, oh, oh, I'm made of stone, don't know why I feel so alone, heal in time they wrote on his head stone, get to know the man whose face they never showed,
You're a burning candle, whose light is flickering, on and off the handle, broken and wiggling,
Where does he belong? Not here, not there, not anywhere, Not here, not there, not anywhere, somewhere in between,
Eyes so wide couldn't see my pride so shaken, heals in time but scars inside are breaking, all I see is gradually forsaken, it's so forged like fired swords my tired voice is droning on like old Saigon's been taken,
I can be nothing with you, steal my time, looking for something to do, on both sides, he tries to hide, but, nothing that you could do would change his mind, it's finalized,
Now, feel no pain like soldiers strain their souls for waste, and overcame their memories are broken,
Such is the price that you pay for the life that you want in the end of it all, but you fall and your thoughts, don't even make sense, your back is turned to the wall, helpless tries, but, when you're not giving up, helpless fights, he has no choice,
He must go on, or Old Saigon will take him.

Terrible Dream

I can't escape all the pain and the rape if my mind is the same, I'll just complain that my life is a game in the distance they hold up a finger, what could it mean? It's a Terrible Dream, it's a terrible thing,
It's a terrible sound, I almost burnt my house down,
Look to the Earth with my teeth to the curb, oh I'll never learn, waiting my turn for God's size 16 boot to come crashing down, forgive me, I scream, the salvation, is below my feet,
Lied cheat and stole, I've sold my soul, not even trying to look on the bright side, I can explain all the pain in the night time, escaping reality, defying gravity, it's like losing your sanity, with the rest of humanity,
Venture across the giant, I feel so lost in it all, stuck on the side that I never chose, my raggedy clothes tell a story,
I was under that shake to the core heat, but you thought it was boring, you were speaking in Japanese, flying with birds in trees, run with the athletes, then swim with a manatee,
I can return to the Earth where I become nothing at all, falling into a new euphoric symphony hall, the music paints the picture that his hands could never comprehend, they hold the tale that all have failed to understand,
but the Earth, well it keeps on going, because time and reality, wait for no man,
Spookin' and spyin' around in the dark time, I can explain what goes on in the night time, full of catastrophe, well what'd you expect to be? When you're taking it easily, and they call in the cavalry.

Part of the mold

I'm so, I'm so low, time goes by so slow, you're so right I know, can endorse my hope, scratched and weary throat, I can't hit the notes, that I once,
Ohhhhh, something's calling me, I don't like the words it says, it breeds insolvency,
Noooo, body seems to feel this way, about the world and all the strings were being pulled since yesterday,
Talk to the shell of a side, he was coping, miles and miles ahead of himself, he goes, on his way home,
Watching the time and it's passing me by, I, let out a sigh from NY to Cedar Grove, I'll walk this road,
Unsettling times in the world and at home he, bottles inside his emotions, they told me, I'm part of the mold, mind body and soul,
I'm part of the mold, mind body and soul,
Unsettling times in the world and at home he, bottles inside his emotions, they told me, I'm part of the mold, mind body and soul,
Nooooo, ones perspective is the same, my sense of self has been on hold, mind body and soul.

Walk Away

Look to the past, it was awfully sad, I've been told, I've been told, I've been told, when hunters and gatherers roamed with a sattle and horse, making marks in the road, we were waring in sand in the woods and the towns of the huts on the side of the cove,
19 years old, blood running cold, 19 years old, blood's running cold,
Humanity's always been stricken with agony, down to the river but down he was dragging me, into a trap, it was just an attack on your soul, and the inside of your skull,
And just walk away, walk away, walk away, just walk away, walk away, walk away,
You just walk away, you don't stay, you blame me for everything, it's ok, I'll take the burden weight, upon my shoulder blade,
Cause I'm not the same, not the same, not the same, we are not the same, not the same, not the same,
We are not the same, I have changed, because of, all the things, and all the pain I've been through, family, and enemies, become the same to me, it's frightening, discouraging, an awful thing, the sacrifices that I've made have gone to waste,
Here I stand, a broken man, you don't know where I've been, or who I've met, it's just so incomplete, it's incomplete,
So just walk away, walk away, walk away, you'll just walk away, walk away, walk away,
You'll just walk away, you won't stay, you'll blame me for everything, it's ok, I'll take the burden weight, upon my shoulder blade.

Would it Break

What if I twist my arm this way, would it break, what if I twist my arm this way, would it break, would it break, lets see,
Would it break, lets see,
I can self inflict, my pain, I can self inflict my pain, as I shake, as I shake, ferociously, as I shake, ferociously,
don't go and don't go and don't go and don't go and don't go,
don't go and don't go and don't go and don't go and don't go, don't go,
Take me out of endless mountains, where you'll find me on the fountain, of the woodland creature's cabin, drinking alone,
from there I can wander eastward, where the locals cook their meat, it's burning alone,
Leave and thank them for their kindness, cannot blame them for their blindness, no one knows what lives inside him, nobody knows, nobody knows,
Alas I return to my quarters, I can't seem to tear these boarders, down to ashes, make my way to the side of the road,
Now I stumble and I raise my hand, to the next car that I see pass, he stops and stares and all he says, we're out of gas, but you my friend, you wanna go home, you wanna go home, you wanna go home, you wanna go home.
