The crossroads were so long ago. Our war was won but lost in the end Now the long run has left us spent, Beaten by the places we went. Ready to rest, waiting to sleep, Ready to sow what we had reaped No more shame for who we’ve been we went there and back again The mountain is so far away, Our treasure has been reclaimed But there is no rest till we get home, those old streets that we once roamed Waiting there with open arms Beaming with their saintly charms Forsaken loves and forgiven kin, We went there and back again All that remains are our memories our past sins forgotten lost to the winds And we return as battered souls Our faces dragged across the coals Dreaming of a better time Before the years were so unkind All that’s left is a lonesome end We went there and back again

Rainbows 04:16
Swipe the last drop of rain from the windshield The clouds start to part over head My eyes ache after so long in darkness After years in my spartan bed Curse the sun I can't outrun The ghosts of my dead Growing restless in my old Chevy Chew my tongue like a stick of gum Oh how I'm dreading the dredging of past days too many years spent on the run Never stop never slow Run from the places where I bled I follow this trail of rainbows to the end of the road Until I arrive at last at the last place that I would call my home If absence makes the heart grow fonder Then I ain't been gone long enough I Look around at the desolate wasteland A shattered diamond in the rough No delay Just hell to pay for the songs I left unsung And these rainbows won’t be Keeping me down I can promise you now that those rabid dogs won’t be stickin’ around Pay attention to the words of wisdom Sturm and Drang for the common man Forget what Connie's been telling the good guys The reason you got feet is to stand Never Stop Straight ahead Never listen to what the book says So I follow the trail of rainbows To the end of the road There ain't no pot of gold But I might get what I'm owed I can't dry the thunderclouds But maybe I can stop the rain just keep my head above the water These rainbows can't bring no pain Oh these rainbows

Crazy Angels 03:43
Today is the First Day Today is the Last Day Never thought I could love Someone The way that I love you I hear your voice now I hold you so tight our dreams have come alive and you started it all Please take this ring You won't be lonely Anymore We're just two Crazy Angels Finding Heaven in our own Sweet Time I remember Long Ago Empty Heart such a shame Until you opened me up I was half a soul Please take this ring You won't be lonely Anymore We're just two Crazy Angels Finding Heaven in our own Sweet Time I'm here to Proclaim My Love for You around the world Shout it out from the highest point on earth Tomorrow Is a sacred day that will always be With you by my side I can do Anything I would walk a million miles Take the world on a string My heart welcomes you in As we sanctify our love

While I was standing over the mountains I held on close to your memory the image i have of you locked in my cranium is the very last vision that i want to see And there is no other way To make you go away, go away Falling to blackness i cling to my sadness, struggling to take one more breath Hoping to hope i can finally let go and no longer wish for my death On this occasion I feel the sensation of crawling to you on my knees Never accepting that i lost my blessing my glorious Douleur Exquise I never told you when i used to hold you but you were once my destiny But for the cruelty of chaos' fealty i'd probably still long to be Looking for answers in the back of old campers is not how i imagined this but now as I step us right over the precipice i fully embrace the abyss And there is no other way To make you go away, go away Falling to blackness i cling to my sadness, struggling to take one more breath Hoping to hope i can finally let go and no longer wish for my death On this occasion I feel the sensation of crawling to you on my knees Never accepting that i lost my blessing my glorious Douleur Exquise but you know it wasn't about the blame and oh, oh it certainly wasn't the pain But before I go I bid you well Just say you'll think of me from time to time And maybe drink another glass of wine Suppose there is another way To make me want to stay Falling to blackness i cling to my sadness, struggling to take one more breath Hoping to hope i can finally let go and no longer wish for my death On this occasion I feel the sensation of crawling to you on my knees Never accepting that i lost my blessing my glorious Douleur Exquise My Douleur Exquise

I Once 03:48
Girl it's me again I've got your shit Let me in, I'm tired and I need a bed I'm not asking you to keep me around Let's just get high and pretend that we're dead I once had Dreams, but they've cast themselves out Your low self-esteem and persistence of doubt Drug me away from you and you away from drugs I'm sorry I'm not a temptress, I'm proud to be a masochist Taketh my cup, it runneth over It's full of submission, it's full of me I once had dreams, but they've all gone away Along with your cradle,I've nothing left to say Except What do you want from me? Will you cast me out at dawn? Will you let me spend the night? Will you lock my body up? Will you spit on me? Will you piss on me? Will you throw me to the wolves? What will you force me to be? I once had dreams, but they're the ones for fools I was made for your pleasure and you were made to rule Do you think that I'm a loser? do you think that I'm a fool? I'd rather be a rotting corpse than to live by your rules

Jacky came courtin' round the middle of June Betty Jo told jacky, "not a moment too soon" So they ran off to Cincy and they didn't tell a soul And that's where their story begins to unfold Yes that's where this story starts to unfold Betty Jo told Jacky, my daddy's on the hunt and you know and i know he sure ain't no runt but jacky told betty, I ain't scared of your kin Ain't nobody stopping me from takin you in Yeah, no one stops jacky from takin her in So they kept on runnin, stayin one step ahead Next stop was Ankeny, where secretly they'd wed Betty Jo said to Jacky "let me be your wife, And I'll stand by your side till the end of my life Yes I'll be by your side till the end of my life One day outside Lincoln Betty Jo she exclaimed That's my daddy's pickup kickin dust in the lane Jacky told Betty Jo to go get the gun but Betty had already turned tail and run yes Betty Jo had already turned tail and run Jacky stood tall at the end of the road Daddy's old pickup was carryin a load Betty Jo's seven brothers were piled in the back and in the window was hanging a full rifle rack and on the window there hung an old rifle rack The brothers hopped off and gave Jacky a chase Till Jacky lost footing and fell on their face The seven angry brothers took out their big knives And beat Jacky a hair past an inch of their life Yes Jacky got beat past the edge of their life Seven weeks later, still no Betty Jo Her daddy's done give up, her brothers also But Betty kept the promise she made on that day and returned to the shallow grave where her Jacky lay Yeah she returned to that damn place where Jacky still lay

I open my eyes again to the empty bed i'm in and wish on heavens star that you will find your way back to me reach out to empty air to feel the breath of your hair pull your phantom next to me and look upon heaven's star and i wonder do you ever feel the same way that i do like the sky is falling down tearing your whole world in two every time i push it feels like i have pushed too far and i wonder do you ever gaze do you gaze upon heaven's star i can't help feeling this way i look out every day and wish on heaven's star that you will find me waiting for you patiently by the door I want this and nothing more reach my hand to the sky to finally reach heaven's star and i wonder do you ever feel the same way that i do like the world is crashing down tearing your whole life in two every time i push it feels like i have pushed too far and i wonder do you ever gaze do you gaze upon heaven's star Heaven's Star finding answers to the problems that have plagued our life always searching for the way to feel the pain explore the depths of my soul look for what will make me whole and wish on heaven's star that you are out there waiting for me patiently by the door wanting me and nothing more reach our hands to the sky to finally reach... Heaven's star

My walkin’ shoes are wearin out, The cold wind cuts my face There’s nothing left for me here, I think it’s time i left this place It’s midnight now, I’m stuck on High Street, Right by where we used to sing This is the last time I’ll ever be here The last time I’ll ever feel this pain I’m trying to not think of you but I’m failing, I’m failing When I finally leave this town everything will be smooth sailing I see the old man from that day He asked me where you’d been I drop a dollar instead of answer Droop and mope my way out again I’m trying to not think of you but I’m failing, I’m failing When I finally leave this town everything will be smooth sailing Whoa, it’s too late, it’s too late. No, I won’t wait, I won’t wait I’ll go, you won’t see me no more Until the day I forget you Midnight, High street, trip on my feet Running as fast as I can Don’t look back now, ain’t nothing left now I won’t be back again I’m trying to not think of you but I’m failing, I’m failing When I finally leave this town everything will be smooth sailing
