Something Love

I don't have no safety rope
Climbing up the wall
No one here to give me hope
No one round at all
I don't have no hang glider
For my upcoming fall
First time in my life that I
I'm prepared to die
Something good is keeping me here
Hold onto me and help me steer
Give me the balls to stay alive
And ask what's really going on
Pushed off the deep end
Learning how to swim
Drowning is inevitable
But I'm determined to win
I don't have no life vest
As I breath the water in
It fills up my lungs
But I don't have to run
Something good is keeping me here
Hold onto me and kill my fear
Give me the balls to stay alive
And ask what's really going on
I think it's something love
Hanging on the brink of time
Seconds pass like days
I've been here before I said
But it's all a haze
There is not a kill switch
There's no saving grace
You just have to let go
And then you get to know
That something good is keeping me here
Hold onto me and keep reality near
Give me the balls to stay alive
And ask what's really going on
I think it's something love

Lady Unknown

I walked away from my home in the woods
Bears and monsters frighten me, never thought I could
Where do I go? Who do I see?
Never really thought much about a man besides me.
Hey Mr. sailor man, where yah headed?
I'm tryin to get out of here, never thought I could
He said, "Son, it's long. You don't even know
But if you can mop the deck and raise the sail I won't say no."
Those long windy days took a lot out of me
Never been on the water before, let alone at sea
Well I found a girl, she sang me songs of old
With a voice so perfect I forgot the water's cold
I wrapped my arms around her, I didn't mind if I drowned
As long as I could spend just one more minute with that beautiful sound
Then her croon became a shriek, soft lips bear sharp teeth
All the light bled from my eyes as she took me underneath
Now I get a sense just how it felt for the men on the Edmund Fitz
That deep dark see won't ever release you from her frozen maleficent mitts
But what a way to die, I was too drenched to cry
Maybe one day I'll get a proper grave as I wash up on high tide
As my dying breath left I had a chance to regret ever leaving home
But it's much too late and I've sealed my fate and besides, who could have known?
And who's to say it's much better to have lived scared and alone?
Now I see the light and know my choice was right to die in the arms of Lady Unknown

Thick little girl she wanna tell me stuff
But I don't listen cuz I talk too much
But she's real patient yah she waits for me
When will she realize I'm trying not to see
So throw me a line, throw me a noose
Gimme little something I can put to use
But she knows best she don't tell me shit
She knows that I'm already looking at it
But I'm waiting for you
Don't you see I have a game too
I'm in need of want
And oh the way you flaunt
But thick little girl she says it don't come easy
You gotta play your part if you want me to get sleezy
So don't expect much and don't you come and touch
And maybe stop thinking that you're owed as much
But I'm waiting for you
Don't you see I have a game too
You reflect on me my greed
My despising underneath
I, I'll tell you what
You're no peace of mind you're just a piece of ass
It has to do with luck
And with any you'll soon find out that it's like fuck
I don't know if I care
I wouldn't dare
It's just like

When the rain hits the forest and the fungi grows
You'll find out there a girl who really does know
that every day's a blessing and every fall's a lesson
You gotta take em as they come and they go
She cuddles with a plush in her starlit slumber
I bathe in her warmth and she holds me under
She's born of the clouds and her presence ain't loud
She holds me like no other
Roving stars they follow you
Shine white light on a broken world
Raise up life from that salted ground you till
You pout like a puppy when we're done with words
You got a collar to match I think my roommates heard
You flash me in the hall and put rainbows on my wall
All while being a fucking nerd
Roving stars they follow you
Shine white light on a broken world
Raise up life from that salted ground you till
You sure got a funny way about
Keeping me honest, making me say aloud
All them things I keep to myself
I'll tell you but nobody else
And when you hit me with that tigress stare
You remind me there's a place for fire
In a world where it's so rare

Song for Bob Dylan

I'm out here a thousand miles from my home
Walking the road of the men who've gone down
Seeing the world of people and things
Dear paupers and peasants and princes and kings
Hey old Bobby I'm borrowing your song
To sing about this funny world that's somehow still hanging on
Everybody's fighting it don't seem we have long
So I look for some wisdom in all the old folk songs
And hey old Bobby I know you don't need to hear
All these things you've been singing for your many long years
But seeing all the hate and the rage and the fear
I'm not sure we've been listening, not opening our ears
Here's to The Stones and The Doors and Zeppelin as well
And all you crazy guys that let us raise up hell
The world was missing something and you helped put it back
So let's keep it all in mind and get this world back on track
I'm not saying you were wrong we just took it too far
I can't spend my whole life trying to be just like you are
But the one thing I've wanted above all else
Was to say I got tangled up in a little bit of blues myself

Don't gotta talk about it just trying to get used to you
It's startin to seem like we can't do the things we used to do
Don't gotta worry bout me I'm learning how to give a fuck
Not much to say to yah just wanted to say good luck
And why does it always have to be
This way between you and me
And if you're going back that way my friend
Would you leave me there until the end?
Sometimes the stars at night they sure do get me moved
They're like you're eyes they lift me up each time I lose
But them stars they never struck me down paralyzed
Oh that's just you baby tellin me silent lies
Do you care if he cries?
Shrivels up inside
And if you're going back that way my friend
Would you leave me there until the end?
We've had good times together but I think that we both know
I got somewhere to be and baby you can't go
I stand here now saying I don't wanna see you no more
So don't invite me in when I come knocking at your door
Why can't I ever resist
your sweet Babylonian kiss?
And if you're going back that way my friend
Would you leave me there until the end?
Would you leave me there until the end?
All the nights I spent alone
Talkin by myself
Never wanted to bother you
Or be somebody else
Hey come to think of it, it looks like we're all here
I may not say it much but I'd like to keep y'all near
It might not mean much to you but I think it's pretty cool to be
A couple kids just making our way through history
And I'd hate to see
A world without you and me
And if you're going back that way my friends
Would you lead me there until the end?
I hadn't thought about it but I suppose you'd be there too
I can't decide if I'd want to spend it all with you
I couldn't choose I had to get down on my knees
And ask the Lord "Have mercy, can I go with her please?"
And He said, "Are you kidding Me?
What is it that you can't see?
And if you go back that way my friend,
I'll leave you there until the end!"
Well if You say so I guess I'll take it from You
It's just a shame that Your Verdict got me feeling so blue
So where we going now I gotta lotta songs to play
To keep You in my heart and sing my blues away
Oh Your impossible Task
You didn't even ask
And if I'm going back that Way my friend
Would You wait for me until the end?
Would You wait for me until the end?
I've seen the ways You do
I've talked to You
I've seen so many people
Feeling so blue
I read a story once about a guy who came back from the dead
He didn't rest he said, "All I saw was red"
I thought a while bout it, I think I figured out what went wrong
Well love sure burns when you've been away from Home too long
And when you finally realize
Everybody dies
And when you're coming back this way my friends
I'll be waiting for you til the end
I'll be waiting for you til the end
