Heart in hand
Iike contraband
With just a taste
With meaningful haste
Surely this love can't be erased
But time has past
The moment has passed
This love was never meant to last
With each day
Through each night
They can be seen looking in the past
For just that moment before the last

Hey
Do you have a pillow
For that big head
Something to rest on
Something to depress
Is there a reason you haven't been getting rest?
Listen closely ill be sure to impress
I know the reason
The reason you felt such unrest
No rhyme or reason
Hey, don't look so depressed
I'll fix you a smile
No, you don't have to walk a mile
Just lay down and lay your unrest
Upon this pillow crest

Listen closely
Did you hear what was whispered before
It's only Tuesday what more could she be asking for
Get the paper, don't forget I need a couple of eggs
Leaving home once more
Clocking in
Clocking out
How could I forget what she asked for
I'm coming home
Don't worry I'll remember once more
Three words
How could I forget
The simple things she asked for
Out on the road
I find myself longing for a home
I no longer have the keys for
I hate to say It
How could you forget
The simple things she asked you for

The wind came upon the stars
Not really knowing how far it's come
Safe to say
It has some sails left to fill
In all the remains
Of her
Sailing away
Like a widow in the stands
Forever mourning a man
That still remains
Some things never change
All thoughts and left over change
Will be stored all the same
Left and forgotten in jeans
Until its time to clean
The mess we see laid around
Who are we fooling
We nested in shame
Looking for somone to blame
Waiting around for that special day
Where everything will change
Let me dream away from this time
Until I am kind
When there's no reason to hide
Looking above in place
At the remains of all that was put away in shame
Taking my claim
There was no reason to feel ashamed
Now i'm stunned in this maze
There are clouds in my space
Reasons floating and fleeing from site
I have lost my only kite
No wind can stay in place for too long
How long have I been stuck on this one song

Listen my love
I know it's been rough
We both aren't meant to be this tough
I see myself straying away
I hate to feel this way
No what do I do
What can I say
I can't lay with you the same
Give it time
Give it your all
But I still feel I'll float on

So sweet
So neat
How could I compete
Standing there looking up above
How could I lose this love
Put it on her shoulders
The morning mover
The coupon saver
Romance slowly dissolved
Is this the time for reflection
You need this connection
Roving away
The time spent here will
Always remain

To the life I could of had
To the love that should've remained
To the daughter that wasn't to be
Felt so deeply in the working days
Changed my scenery
Did everything but change my name
There you are all staring back at me
No love in the sites
The morning light shines as bright
I've lost my rights
Fewl it through
Feel it throughout the night
Look at the clock
You'll never block
The life you had
Time was short for the life we lived
It longs in the nights we had
Its no so bad
Give it time
Hopefully you'll step in line

Felt the time pass
Pass me another glass
Those blue eyes held a world
That my hands just couldn't grasp
For the tears you held
Where felt only through the passing of time
It has felt like a crime
Self convicted
There's no more time
Leave it all to time

Shes lost
Almost forgotten
Lingers of a life
Taken too soon
What can life be
If it all fell into place
Now it's just a small trace
There's no saving grace
Can there be a time where love can be sought
Without being fought
The life I live lived has been stained with
Distraught

I can be for certain I was not the one
To take over your life in such a matter
Patiently waiting
For this man to change your world
But time has elated
That it was just a world apart
To watch that smile
Slip into denial
I wish it wouldn't fall so far
There she is wishing she didn't fall so far
Now it comes
Waiting for it to fall in place
But how could she be so dumb
The man she's with
Couldn't stand apart
From what was imagined
Has all but fell apart
Wishing and wanting
Couldn't save this from
That this idea was doomed from the start
There's nothing that I can do
Sitting here from the start
Let it play out
It's what's good for the heart

How could I let you be
My sweet honeybee
Why was i so keen on being mean
Why couldn't I stay clean
For you
My sweet
Honeybee

Lived for the day
Lost it all in a night
Don't live in spite
Reasons known
But still feel unknown
That day is well immortalized
As the time keeps ticking by
If I could hold in my arms
No need to set your alarm
Time has changed
But my love will still remain
Looking through this eyeglass
I think it's best to let it all pass

Secrets to keep
To much time has passed
No secret is made to last
Can't see a reason to lie
For it has surpassed
It's time the levee broke
I lasted as long as a man can
Forever more into one's mind
Cant suppress the reason no more
All the memories I held in store
Are no longer forever more

After all these years
I still feel so cold
If I only listened to you
Then I wouldn't be wishing for you
So long
So far
Too late to retain all I learned
Too late for this date not to change
All I have left
Is just manged remains

I've been thinking of the life I made
With all the things I wished I changed
To the seasons that change
Can't escape the life I made
There's no delay
Think of how far you came
But this is not something you can tame
To the changes of seasons
I remain the same
I can't find a reason
To lift myself out of this lake
It all feels like a heartbreak

All nights spent
Drinking the feelings away
Time to remember but trying to forget
Of our time spent
Dreaming of a future
To only live it alone
Why has it always been so self imposed
To late now
All I need is another beer
To forgive and forget
Who I was if only for the night
Forever waiting for tomorrow's light

Season changes
Bring up countless reasons
To pretend
If it all played right
Time has moved on
I'm lost in my wrongs
If only I could tell you
How much this has destroyed me
I'm just one man
How could I truly understand
All that has been true
Will forever rule you
Running short on tomorrow's
Please pless replay
So i can relive my days
Why has it only made sense
When looking at it in the present tense

Wake up
It's time for work
Hurry up
For time doesn't care for your words
Listen to the silence
Take in all that you've done before
Now make your way out the door
It's grievous place
That you decide to spend your days
For paycheck that feeds you half as full
But it's time to
Suffer till you can come home
But it's the only way
That you know how stay true
Because of the decision you made
Now live by the company rules

To be fair I found a way
But listen to the ways I say
I miss you
As so many times before
I'm more then a one man show
How happy you could make me be
Just take my hand
I'm elated to give you more
Then the love that I showed you before
But I'm wasted
Nothing can change that
Too late to take all those words back
It's wonderful place
To be lost in this space
Too wasted I've lost all my grace

To live a life so grand
Then I would fully understand
Weights feathered in time
But I stand so high
Looking back at all time
Our love is six feet deep
I changed states
But I'm reinstated
In all the love and could've beens
Too late
It all unfolded
How could I ever wanted this
Is there more then one of us
Why couldn't I have wanted more for us
It's low tide don't sink too far down
Just keep doing the rounds
Perhaps It will all come back around

Looking for the words to say
How could I lose control
Of a perfect moment
It's too late to relive it
I followed you back to the beginning
I stayed until I couldn't outlive it
Strayed in a life
I know I can't live in
Looking for a new beginning

It's time you know
I will fail you so
Keeping of this mind
Its too hard sometimes
Falling in place
I'll never get over your face
Our secrets lie still
On a bed of ***** clothes
Forever I'll hear more
Of those tears and nothing more
Silent scraped earth
Revered of this place
I though I'd tell you just in case

Hazy ways
Time has not erased you
Overflowing ways
Never knowing
This flower has yet to grow
Time spent knowing
Don't stand all alone
This weight can't carry her home
Time was wasted
Never knowing
Pictures slowly growing
Without her knowing


Creaking door
Squeaky floors
I can't hear you
All around me drunken patrons
I want you here
But I still fear
Who you see
I couldn't change
Far too long
Different people
I still think of you
No matter what I do
Your tears still hold true
That's why I'm blue
Time healed you
I'm still climbing through

Feeling empty
Feeling alive
Fall so far from down below
Up high
I can't feel the ground
How far must it be down
Sorrow erupts from days gone by
Can't pass the time
Far from where I belong
Far from where I should be
Too long I must carry myself down
Create the feeling I shouldn't be around
Not the same
Killing my past
Only to feel how far I've gone down
I'm lucky to be around
From my viewpoint
I'm still only one drop down

Dirt stained hands
To becoming a better man
Work is slow
Time to remember all the days spent apart
From my drinking nights
I hold all our fruits tight
Time passed me by
I have no more reason to lie
Far from the day we met
To my days spent out here
Far from what I called home
Away from all that I know
I built my life with my regret
From the day we met
Long hours
Silent nights
How much time can I regret

Night fell
Slowly star gazing
In this dark I feel you
All around me
In my mind I spend all my nights alone
Several states from home
Thinking of you
Why can't you release believe me
I can't relapse in this dream of you
But from this I drink alone
You are with me
As long as my drink runs un empty
You are with me
The love that has gone alone
Will be welcomed
By my bottle
Thinking of you
No rest can solace
The unrest of not loving you
This fear has rallied
Sticking with me
I can't sit in this house alone
The tide has risen
This sand can't keep it's mold
Of this house I once called our home
Forever more I think I'll be alone

I walked through this mist
Thought there'd be no one to miss
Although this life was tragic
It was easy to dismiss
But your words were magic
Breathing life into my abyss
You followed me softly
So sure of what we could gift
Then you were dismissed
Nowhere to turn to
You'd look at me
Believing we could breathe the same
I could not fit into your frame
Of our picture I felt no shame
Now the years without you
I can't reclaim
Desperately following the path for when you looked at me the same

Drunk again and that's when I
Question my life forgetting all the times I spent living in my time
The world is great again I'm spending it in your arms
So tenderly I forget my own crimes
From the river I walked and I found another glimpse I tried to hide
You were sitting sombly as I stumbled past with tears in your eyes.
For that's a man who failed to see a woman so kind
So no wonder why he lives his life with tear drops in his eyes
So far from life he can no longer recognize his own side
For the years that past he can no longer view the world in the same light
For you are gone and his dawn set upon him
The blanket lay upon him like a crest
Now he must rest

It has to be profound
At the least meaningful

Alicia the beautiful
Alicia my love
I have found what I most find attractive of you
Your eyes your clothes it's even the way you pose
Your love is that I impose
The laughter the cries all of that is what was disposed
Our love compacted as I implode
Everlasting never after
The love we shared was never meant to grow
Hereafter with a false actor it lasts as long as I decompose

A reason to believe
We could go very far
I could go the distance
Never got very far
It's my mind twisting
Never was one for distance
Sitting all alone
My mind has always been good for listening
I fell apart at the britches
No need for you to listen
My mind has gone and untwisted
I have my mind no longer listening
I felt myself so far from wishing
That my life was much more than a mission
But I'm so far from home
I just wished I listened

She whispers her name
No time to refrain
The earth opens it reigns
For what is new will remain
Winifred was her name
She is the one who remains
To willful sorrow
She will forever be mine to remain

Words find there way
But I can't explain
The void follows so deeply
Every night I think of red and blue
The finale is set to begin
Always it goes off
Nothing follows
The first horns sound
Galantly
My dear I see
Clouds, they seem all that's above
Below is clear
What is heard is silent
Listen closely
All alone
No word can conceive
What this world has done to me

I can't believe what's going on
I can't continue to say that I'm doing okay
There's something inside me
That I have yet to explain
Those tears that you shed in my bed
I  don't now what was going on in this head
But time has past
Now im left, thinking of you and how well you do
Forever in my head
I feel as tho I should be dead

Crying for the right reasons
Living for the wrong
Each moment scarred by the memory of you
Loving, living and now loss
For the time ticked and chimed
It now sits and stands
You can't rewind

I seen and breathed a life
That I can keep
But the the life I lived I found myself living in past
Loving days blurred
Now etched in longing in search of solace
I wished I dreamed but I can't get it back
Today, tomorrow I follow the same path
So eager to change the way I walk
But idle in all the days that I have lost
For once and forever more
I brought myself to this trail
Forever lost

This life is joyous
But not without you
Life's been a torment
Life and revenge
How could I see you
All that you read through
What once was joyous
Is now regretfull
What can I do
Except leave you
The life you once had was just temporary
I can't be the one you're bestowed too
For the life you'd always regret too
Did I destroy you
I never meant too
I can't forget you

The words that amount
Just not enough
So much to say
After the time has passed
What could be said
I can now say
The words that you want
The words that amount
In the past
Not said
Because the words that were spoken
And the words that amounted
Are forgotten and revolted

It's only late nights I think about you
Early days make me forget about her
Lived most my life without you
Forgotten love hurts me so much
What could of been
But the night hurts me more then the love left
Forgotten and abandoned
Sinful to know of
The days became longer without you
It's my fault
The man I became
The man I forget to be
But my dreams are so lovely
When we are together
Perfectly
If just for the night
It's love everlasting

There's just smoke in my eyes
From each empty can
I feel to much inside
From each cigarette
I can't keep it all inside
Baby don't worry
I just have smoke in my eyes

I'm the one who could not sing
But I sang every song
That reminds me of you
Even after we were through
I still couldn't get over you
From traveling after all these times
I couldnt leave you behind

A cigarette a day
Promised to take your life away
So I'll get a pack
With smoke always on my back
What a timeless match

I forgot all the pain
It seemed tamed
For the love still remains
I still remember your name
After all the time that passed
I should've known you wouldn't last
But for now you'll live on in my past
In that, you'll last

Once a thought
Brought so much to heart
Tripping upon these feelings
Concealed by the light
But night brings it into the light
What was lost was now in site
My mind has taken its bite
For the night
But by tomorrow's light
I'll be alright

In the future I find
Myself far behind
The past always lasts
With each hour passing
It is the only feeling everlasting

I wanted to find
What love was left inside
A heart that wasn't mine
Found the right girl at the wrong time
Foolish to find
In only time we'll find
What love was left inside

Lovers intwined  
Fighting for a way
To stay
Not until the end
That I knew I lost my only friend

Wanting
To feel you in my arms
Taken away to early
Not a chance at life
Parentless
So our love went
Seemless as a cloud passing  
Only tears shared for the moment
But not for the night

You shined so bright
Like a candle in the night
So tough for a girl
Who's never been in a fight
A smile that can bring you back to life
But I just couldn't make you my wife
I was so quick to let you leave my life
Now I spend my days trying to make right
For all the awful things I did at night
Why do I want to change only after we fight?

The love was true
Oh so I thought
This child we made
Has past away
This morning I wake
No tears to share
An empty room  
For the love we shared, has gone away
For this I wait
Idle for days
Then for weeks
To find the man, I lost that day
No comforts can erase
What I lost that day

I can't believe you listen to the radio
Funky songs and static news
I love this tune
Starry nights to bright lights
I can't wait until I feel right
