Find Me

Oh
All of these things
Wrapped up inside
They’re coming to find me
Oh no

Dog Bones
04:48
|

Dog bones are brittle
When they’re thrown
How’s a man supposed to know
I drove off in my car alone
Imbued in trepidations all of my own
Off again
Far from slight
‘Cause I’m always on that side
Oh come on
Get it together man
That’s just oversimplified
Those days were real
Resplendent but concealed
The day we drove out to the lake
You told me learn to not
Hold onto mistakes
But I’m off again
Far from slight
‘Cause I’m always on that side
Oh come on
Get it together man
That’s just oversimplified
The night grew dark
My eyelids thin
You called me up
You said you wanted to
I asked you how you’re doing in school
You asked my how my father’s been
I told you
Everything
Dog bones are brittle
When they’re thrown
How’s a man supposed to know
I wrote it down for me to read
Gone on and dug it up
From the garden’s seed
Off again
Far from slight
‘Cause I’m always on that side
Oh come on
Get it together man
That’s just oversimplified

The Kicker
03:17

You’re the sweetest one inside
Only pride and joy I’ve known in my life
You’re gonna change the world
The light the light
You’re gonna change the world
A wall was built between us
I framed and hung the picture
This room is filled with stuff now
Of someone I never met
I’m going back on home this time
A friend told me get back on the horse
I wanna try, I never wanna try
My lover don’t look at me the same
But I’ll take on the blame
A wall was built between us
I framed and hung the picture
This room is filled with stuff now
Of someone I never met
The Kicker
Find it hard to move on
When I’ve spent my mind’s time
Thinking of what I can’t be
When I’ve lost something near and dear
The Kicker

All your horses left
Left on the race track
You bet one by one
Throw away money like that
Driving into Brooklyn
She’s wondering how’s dad
He’s left the TV on
It’s part of his daily format
It’s in his silence
It’s in his get back sting
All in this bottle
Oh when it bottles up to something
All your horses left
Left on the race track
If I listen closely
Harmonicas play back
I’m not one to talk about
The sentimental moments in my life
The phone it rings and my sister
Answers the line
I know it’s tough
But mom deserves the truth this time
Guess we gotta break the news
Guess we gotta break it
All your horses left
Can’t deny
You meant too much
Stay ground
I’ll stay the only course
In my life for you
That I’m sure

Hesitant
04:02
|
|||
Won’t you hold me down
I’ve said too much this time around
When it all went down
I know it’s not that simple
Did I do my best
I can’t sequester my feelings
When I rest
We left in such a tumble now
If I need somebody
I’m naked
I won’t
I’ve never done
The moment
The sky’s wide open
I’ll just shy away
I’m hiding
Tonight and
My mind’s been soldiered
A few times before
The moment
My heart’s wide open
I’ll just run away

Jeep
02:17
|
|||
I’m picking up steam
In the back
Back of your Jeep
I only talk about it much
When I’m piss ass drunk
Calling me back again
Oh the frequent
Is telling me something
If I go back
I’ll give up on everything I had
Lay me down
I’ll take off my crown
And I won’t say a word again
No I won’t say a word again
No I won’t speak a word again
Not about that

Outside (For Now)
03:27
|
|||
Oh it’s so cold
On the outside
Looking inward at the light
I said oh it’s so damn cold
On the outside
Looking inward at the light
Oh when it was something
And better than nothing
But you would fall at the line
And oh maybe it’s something
If that were just one thing
Fall at the line every time
Oh to withhold again
When you thought that
You were somewhere in between
You said oh it’s just that way
When you knew that but
You don’t know how to say
It’s on your mind
But you’re far too tongue-tied
Oh when it was something
And better than nothing
But you would fall at the line
And oh maybe it’s something
If that were just one thing
Fall at the line every time
It ain’t right
With yourself
Oh come on
Go on and reconcile with yourself
For your own
Oh come on
Fall at the line
Fall at the line
Fall at the line every time

Fucked Up
03:19
|
|||
How could I stay here
How could I go
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
I’m all fucked up
Five down the road
Take it from me I don’t want to burdened
Take what you need
Leave all the rest behind
All in the night when I get home
Set it off
Oh how could I’ve known
That all of these things
Would set me off again
All in the night when I get home
How could I stay here
How could I go
It’s all in my head
It’s all in my head
I’m all fucked up

Day Drunk
03:19
|
|||
The more I look away
No it’s more than I’ve opted for
Who am I to say this time
I’m outta my goddamn mind
Where was I today
I’ve been taking shit for granted again
I’m not the same this time
I’m losing my goddamn mind
I’m sweet on it now
I’m just trying to be a better man
I’m done fucking with who I am
Out here trying to make
Some bigger plans
I’m out here
Well here I am
I’m just trying to be a better man
Well I am
What’s this again
I’ve been keeping it from all my friends
Vulnerabilities to catalyze
Me mending my goddamn mind
Sweet on it now
If I only could
Systemize it somehow
I’m just trying to be a better man
I’m done fucking with who I am
Out here trying to make
Some bigger plans
I’m out here
Well here I am
I’m just trying to be a better man
Well I am

Morning Cartoons
04:10
|
|||
You were only a child
But they grow up so fast
Wake up
Turn on the morning cartoons
With your cereal
Go on write it down
And seal it in an envelope
That’s signed to your name
You don’t understand
Your old man’s tired as hell
He’s worked his hands to a swell
The only care you comprehend
Is your weekend plans
Go and take my last fifteen
It’s in my purse
You better not buy cigarettes
With all the time that you have left
Who you trying to impress
Boy you’re balancing yourself
On a knife’s edge
You don’t even care
Your mama’s losing her hair
She’s up all night slaving away
In the kitchen
‘Cause you left your dishes there
You don’t even care
Oh nothing
You don’t even care
Your mama’s losing her hair
She’s up all night slaving away
In the kitchen
‘Cause you left your dishes there
You don’t even care

Dear Brother
04:00
|

Dear brother
I was a fraud
I never called you
I was a selfish fool
Dear brother
You’re tangled up tight
Wrapped up in this shit
How can I can I get you right
Dear brother
You’ve been through enough
I see it on your breath
The billows of cloud dust
Tattered and torn
Lack of the love
You take this street poison
Mix it in your blood
You’re better when you’ve had enough
You’re better when you’ve had enough
And I want to
Get through to you
You’re better when you’ve had enough
You’re better when you’ve had enough
And I got to
Get back to you
There you are
You’re nothing like you once were
There you are
Just cover it don’t feel hurt
There you are
It’s coming at you coming at you quick
Here I am
I’m nothing like I once was
Here I am
I’m calling you up to say I love you
Dear brother
I love you
Won’t you tell me
Won’t you tell me
I need some kind of clue
What you’re still going through
Won’t you tell me
Won’t you tell me
All these years wish I knew
How to bridge back to you

Heavy Being You
03:24

There’s this kid
Isn’t scared about nothing
He’s been tricked
Ripped off gone left behind
Out there
For to grow old to
His mama’s sick
His mama’s sick with the drinking
His daddy’s a dick
‘Cause he went up and left on the fly
Out there
One night met up
Sat on the corner of sixth street
Tears in his eyes
Told me that he’s gonna leave this town
And get out there
Somewhere to belong to
He didn’t leave
He didn’t go
He got caught up
It’s cyclical
Another beer down
Drinking alone
These nights end the same
Passed on the floor
And I didn’t wonder
If anything was wrong
One step forward
Two steps back
Keeps you from moving
Keeps you from getting on track
