Snakes in the Grass – snakes in the grass are catching my attention a swarm of frauds are invading on the scene they all want something for free that they can all sell to the masses no longer playing for the cause just a target market I know the last few years have been hard it’s got you all looking to the stars instead of what you got right here and everything is such a mess it’s got us looking to the rest instead of keeping our love and energy at home we treat each other just like shit and don’t invest in the things that we commit no wonder we all drink so much it’s such a crutch rats in the walls are catching my attention crooks and traitors are invading on the scene they all want something for free but I won’t give them any of it this last little bit’s for me just for me *if you have to ask me where my loyalty lies then it’s not with you* …

Shades of Grey - you think you know right and wrong you judge it all while looking down you know exactly what the fuck is going down you got that clear sight, draw a quick bead on everything you see, your snap to judgement makes no fucking sense to me cuz open minded is the only way to be that’s the only way you’ll ever be truly free *i can’t live my life that way i see the world in too many shades of grey know nothin’s ever gonna be okay i can’t seem to pick a side i know that everything’s not always cut and dry know nothin’s ever gonna be alright* i see you got sight a new perspective on what’s goin’ down now friends and family will gather all around you see a new light when you’re not judging everyone you see now you find your happiness in harmony you’re living life so humbly that you would never tell another how to be …

We’re Still Here - *we’ve all been beaten down and we’ve all been pushed around for years we’re all still here we’ve all been kicked around, through all the sorrow and the tears we’re all still here* so many nights that he spent up in the kitchen serve the bourgeoisie and then do up all the dishes if he could count how many times he tried and failed if he could count how many ships he’d seen set sail maybe then he’d have a lady on his arm and a house in the city with a load of fuckin’ charm instead he’s singing with a bottle in his hand in the basement with the boys in the band this girl she knows all the secrets of the city you know she likes her punk rock kinda gritty if she could count all of the boys who tried and failed ‘cuz in the middle of the night you know she bails because for her there is no drama on tv she finds her passion in the pulsing of the streets sunday night you know she’ll find a place to hide thanking the gutters that she’s still alive after everything we’ve been, after everywhere we’ve gone after every stupid song that we all sang on and on and all the choices that we’ve made, like kindred spirits to the grave now we find ourselves right here, we will not give in to fear ...

Hold Me Under – hold my middle finger to the past not to forget or to forgive just to give me some direction I’m treading water in the choices that I’ve made you’re holding my head under with yours *I feel the truth as you hold me under* and now everything is clear a sad culmination of all our fears like accepting the fact that you’re gonna die you’re gonna live with that fact for quite some time I expected this from life but did not expect this from you with life I knew I would never get out alive after everything we’ve done and all that we’ve been through I never thought that it would be you who have you become I don’t recognize that face where did the love go vanished without a trace and why did I not see it coming I must be fucking blind to be betrayed by the love of my life …

A Thought of You - i know it’s been a long time my friend i thought we’d walk together ‘til the sidewalk ends we learned so many things that were untrue now there’s just one question that i’ll ask of you *did you think of me? I sure thought of you* when you walk at night out on the wet concrete the sirens sound so good the gutter smells so sweet do you hearken back to a sacred space and the rain can’t wash the smile from your face …

Alone and Tested - ya know i always wanted to go where the cold wind blows without a coat minus a care maybe just to prove that life’s unfair and *i’m alone testing on my own our old theories on society but life’s so hard for you it always seems so hard for you* ya see i wanted you to be right here next to me i guess it doesn’t really matter that much right now we fucked it up and we lost it all somehow got everything you wanted to have a little bitter piece of every fucking one chased everything you needed to have turned around and had no one at all …

What a mess – made a million mistakes in my life made a million mistakes in my time made a million mistakes in this place but my worst one was you didn’t see the mess awaiting missed the foreshoadowing in the leaves ignored my gut and overthought the truth just left me feeling numb and used what a mess you’ve made of me what a mess you’ve made of us what a mess you’ve made of all our friendships and the times we spent of all the people i’ve known in my life of all the people i trusted in my time of all the people i’ve loved in my life the closest ones hurt me the most you were beautiful to me you meant everything to me you were my whole world to me and i didn’t see it falling apart at the seams …

Lost in the Unknown - i’m just a civil servant’s son from the wrong side of the tracks on the wrong end of Oregon i can’t count the times i’ve tried and i tried so hard at times to unlock any promise i held inside to all the friends that i’ve ever known you never ever wanna be the one who’s been outgrown learn how to leave, before you get left alone *seems that you don’t need me anymore it’s been a long, long time since your shadow darkened my door and it’s a sentimental feeling yeah man that’s for sure i couldn’t spend my whole life, sleeping on your floor* i know it’s easy to forget i know it’s natural to have regrets but i remember every breath i ever took on those compound steps even though it’s just me and there’s no one left i thought we’d always walk down the same path i thought we’d always be dipping out of the same stash remember what i told ya when the the last time that i saw you was man with everything we’ve gone through, after all we’ve done it seems that you forgot the promise, we made to ourselves now i find myself alone on the wrong side of the tracks, with no one home despite the promises you broke, this fire i still stoke and i hope, that i can cope despite the pain that you put me through i never thought i would be doing this without you but i can’t wait, i gotta sing these songs, ‘cuz time keeps pushing on
