St. Mary come and stay with me
With outstretched hands delivering
The time you spent meant a lot to me
You're the self fulfilling prophecy
An I've been on the wrong side of this life in my mind
And you shine your light on what's right in my life
And I didn't mean to frighten you
With looks that took without meaning to
And I came to believe in you
Your eyes told me the truth
An I've been on the wrong side of this life in my mind
And you shine your light on what's right in my life
It's in your hands now
St. Mary come and stay with me
With outstretched hands delivering
The time you spent meant a lot to me
You're the self fulfilling prophecy
An I've been on the wrong side of this life in my mind
And you shine your light on what's right in my life

When our friendship became toxic oh I don't know
There were two sides but neither one spoke oh no
When you decide you've got nothing left to hide
I'll want to know
Cause it's hard to believe I was the seed of your..
When you said you've been a bad friend I know what you mean
Cause under the surface lurks much more than this of that I'm sure
When you decide you've got nothing left to hide
I'll want to know
Cause it's hard to believe I was the seed of your unhappiness

Charcoal Heather

I have taken steps and measures
To pray to charcoal heather
Saw her in a vision and a dream
When she speaks to me of harmony
A life of tragedy remembers me
And empathy washes away
Oh won't you be in a scene of my dreams
I have seen in a dream
You thought you could hide behind a hard stare
An icy glare that left you gazing from your window to no one
Did you intend to shock me in revelry
A change in scenery would be best for me right now
Oh I won't hurt you but I want to see you bleached by the sun
May it rain down on you till it haunts you
Those you sent away have their day
Oh won't you be in a scene of my dreams
I have seen in a dream
May it rain down on you till it haunts you
Those you sent away have their day

Live my life with ups and downs there's no middle ground
I've had your share and you've had all all that you can bear
You wait you're gray you watched it pass you by and that was ok
I didn't wake up one day and say I'll piss my life away
I'm waiting for a moment to call my own isolation prone
You wait you're gray you watched it pass you by and that was ok
You wake afraid what you feel is not real it's in your head
Live my life with ups and downs there's no middle ground
I've had your share and you've had all all that you can bear
You wait you're gray you watched it pass you by and that was ok
You wake afraid what you feel is not real it's in your head
What you feel is not real it's in your head
What you feel is not real it's in your head

Your enemies were your friends
They left you on your own then you made your own
It's simple can't you they want to bury me it's simple can't you see
And I know her and I know her
And after a while a while I saw it in your smile there was no one there
I saw it in your stare more than you can bare so you turned within
And I know her and I know her
Many more of those you'll have an overdose many more of those
What I couldn't see right in front of me what I couldn't see
The enemy you know is always better so better left alone
What I didn't know what you couldn't show your world was within
Many more of those you'll have an overdose many more of those
What I couldn't see right in front of me what I couldn't see

The Most Documented Man

Don't want to be you don't want to see you
Document this man
You said you carried me
Had to hold my hand
I got away I got away or so it seemed
But the academy put a knife in me
I bought the lies looked right in their eyes
I could not see it then behind the curtain
Now I know the plan
I see your hidden hand
Drown me with layers of paper you buried me
And I couldn't see the forest from the trees
When they were done you didn't recognize me
I saw through lies looked behind her eyes
There was nothing there just greed in her glare

YOU ARE WAITING FOR A CHANGE IN
THE WAY YOU’RE FEELING CAN’T STOP THINKING
I CAN’T SEE IT JUST A FEELING
I KEEP REACHING MY GLASS CEILING
WHO DO I WANT TO BE IT’S TIME
WHO DO I WANT TO BE THIS TIME
NOW YOU HAVE IT ON TO THE NEXT THING
WHEN YOU HAVE IT EVERYTHING’S DREAMY
BACK TO REALITY ON TO THE NEXT DREAM
YOU NEVER GET THERE ALWAYS REACHING
WHO DO I WANT TO BE IT’S TIME
WHO DO I WANT TO BE THIS TIME
I DON’T WANT TO YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY
ON THE JOURNEY ALWAYS LEARNING IT’S OK
TIME TO SEE ME TIME DECEIVES ME IT’S THE WAY
NOW I HAVE TO NOW I WANT TO SEIZE THE DAY
YOU ARE WAITING FOR A CHANGE IN
THE WAY YOU’RE FEELING CAN’T STOP THINKING
I CAN’T SEE IT JUST A FEELING
I KEEP REACHING MY GLASS CEILING
WHO DO I WANT TO BE IT’S TIME
WHO DO I WANT TO BE THIS TIME
I KNOW YOU WONT EVER LEAVE ME

After a while I could not smile it away
I had to call you on it but then I couldn't stay
We have a place for you it's off the path
It's down range and you won't feel the pain of the blast
It's so lonely I don't want to stay
It's so lonely I don't want to
Manic man with my life in his hands in his hands
He will crush me cause he can he can
I won't be you casualty no no no no
I'm set free of caustic energy at last
Wave your hands and wipe the slate clean
Take them from my neck or won't you please
Wave your hands and wipe the slate clean
Take them from my neck or won't you please

The freak emerged from the tree line rainbow hair and shifting eyes
And that was all by design every move was sublime
Told myself to change still the same
Days grow long the sun is on it's way
And you were all in my head and I don't want you there
And this time I'm in over head
Told myself to change still the same
Days grow long the sun is on it's way
I know have to learn the system know I can know I can
I will have to hide the anger know I can I'll try hard I'll try hard
Told myself to change still the same
Days grow long the sun is on it's way

I'll staple gun you to the floor if that is what you're looking for
It's the awkward places that I fear it's the quiet parts that we must fill
And I know her and she knows me I've been waiting patiently
Showed my hand now you show me
We are feet wet and obsolete awaiting our return to the deep
And my post war paint is peeling and my rusty sides are leaking
I grew up on railroad tracks and I threw rocks to help relax
But the trains threw them right back threw them back at me
I'll staple gun you to the floor if that is what you're looking for
It's the awkward places that I fear it's the quiet parts that we must fill
And I know her and she knows me I've been waiting patiently
Showed my hand now you show me show your hand to me

I THINK I HOLD THE REINS
YOU TAKE THEM BACK AND THEN
THEY WERE YOURS ALL ALONG
NEVER HAD THEM AT ALL
USED TO BE I’D RUN AWAY
AND YOU THINK I’D KNOW BY NOW
THAT I NEVER HAD THE POWER
AND YOU CAN’T HEAL YOURSELF
AND THERE’S NO ONE TO TELL
THAT WAKING UP’S IS HELL
YOU CAN’T UNRING THE BELL
USED TO BE I’D RUN AWAY
AND YOU THINK I’D KNOW BY NOW
THAT I NEVER HAD THE POWER
YOU HIT IT ON THE HEAD
WHEN YOU TOLD ME YOU SAID
THAT NOTHING IS FAIR
IT WAS COMFORTING TO HEAR
USED TO BE I’D RUN AWAY
AND YOU THINK I’D KNOW BY NOW
THAT I NEVER HAD THE POWER
AND I CAN’T HELP MYSELF
AND I CAN’T HEAL MYSELF

Get Small
02:53

I see your heart in mine love I know I share the blame
Desperate times for all now patience was her name
Get small get small
Said yourself it's hard out I know I had to change
Restless minds will fall out hold on to the shame and
Get small now get small
Get small now get small
Endless scrapes to extricate me from
What will I do when I'm on my own
Will I know which way to go will I know
Will I know I know
