Low 04:14
Me and my friends we talk a lot bout where the money's going to come from when the oil dries up how it's hard to started when it's always cold when winter comes and lays you down low the wind just cuts you clean in half and the boss is always on you though you're doing all you can never time for reflecting on the rising tide always chasing always tired Low, out of mind friends stop calling round sinking from all the pressures resting on my bones i got a dream just to walk away from the mirrors and smoke that disorientate start the day normal running out the door let the dust settle on all the old scores Low, out of mind friends stop calling round water rising sinking from all the pressures resting on my bones it might be a myth or a memory it's hard to stop caring what other people see now something is missing i remember long ago how it's hard to stop searching laying down Low, out of mind friends stop calling round water rising sinking from all the pressures resting on my bones

One more for the road One more for the stories left untold One more for the dark places we go to when the whisky runs low We’ve wandered these streets Looking out for bad company to keep We’ve broken through to the bones of our knees For a place to sleep This glass is empty and the floor is full I couldn’t change this even if I would I’d turn the clocks back if it wasn’t for this blood And its need to do good One more for the road One more for the stories left untold One more for the dark places we go to when the whisky runs low

I feel the air return to life Chasing shadows through the sky Distant sound of wheels turning Stuck in time, the open plain greens and blues turn to greys Walk the steps of all our mothers A silver town beneath the hill Old tradition lives on still Huddle down as change is coming Believe for that ideal might Be the cradle holds you tight Now home fires burn a little different Moving low across the plane stone is tarnished in a way of that of what was once so precious Comparing all you have with what You have seen, you have lost Have returned, then have won Ripped from the earth with your own hands The quiet calm falls over all Cleansing rain in the night See it all with new eyes Heavy going through the day Ready come what may Its the hope that kills you I can't help it 'bout the shape I'm in I can't sing, I aint pretty and my legs are thin But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to. When I talk to God I know He'd understand Said, "Stick by me I'll be your guiding hand" But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.

Didn’t wake this morning, thinking that I would be wishing you goodbye for the last time See the Devil’s clipped my wings and pulled me under And I can see your face in the water I was coming home, coming home to you Coming home to you and our good life I was coming home, coming home to you Coming home to you and our good life Spring was coming you had told me You could smell it in the air and on the blossoming trees Such a perfect day, not a trace of grey Was calling out to warn me I was coming home, coming home to you Coming home to you and our good life I was coming home, coming home to you Coming home to you and our good life Didn’t wake this morning, thinking that I would be wishing you goodbye for the last time

Arsenic 04:08
Don’t know just where I came to And left before this night withdrew How many wishes how many could have done’s will it take for us all to remember How many times do I have to feel the burn of fear before it consumes us I don’t want to see the sun, there’s not a truth without a lie Turn away and twist the world, draw the rain from the skies We return it all, run it down, run it right down to the brink Feel the sun, to the rain, were just like arsenic, like arsenic Tell my friends I don't need them Just look at what a state were in I felt the weight come crashing down, driving ever deeper to the bedrock As giants in this land we walk around the clock turning it against us But we stand so true. Pitiful afraid to make a move We return it all, run it down, run it right down to the brink Feel the sun, to the rain, were just like arsenic, like arsenic

Why We Fight 04:13
Been Told in the stars since time began There’s no use running if the race is run Dead on your feet from living on your knees This was never how it was gonna be It go to time for moving on Where grass is greener and blue skies flow Made it there but came right back The people were kind but the earth was flat Walking on the thin red line Better not stumble better not sway to the side I met a man was once my friend Our eyes met for a moment and then we looked away I don’t remember anymore, I don’t remember anymore I don’t remember anymore. Why we fight There’s Streets turn to river in the driving rain Corpse of a car as the sun’s only shade Standing tall but gone inside Decline of the stock hidden in plain site There people go hungry people in pain Got to spend big keep the enemy from the gates Shelter from the rain, Hide from the Sun Steel from the soul, Bullets from the guns Another War, and what will be It’s a complicated vision of freedom and peace So raise little knife I’ll raise little gun And we can raise all our tommorows right into the ground And remember it all, I don’t remember anymore Remember it all…why we fight. Walking on the thin red line Better not stumble better not sway to the side So raise little knife I’ll raise little gun And we can raise all our tommorows right into the ground And remember it all, I don’t remember anymore Remember it all…why we fight.

Sunrise, but I can’t feel you Just the space where you belong And the early morning radio Plays your voice in every song Searching but I can’t find you Just the things you left behind And every strangers face Hides a corner of your smile Then I remember Then I recall Your solemn surrender The rise and fall Sunrise, but I can’t feel you Just the space where you belong

Years 03:17
ell yourself it will all be alright Lying in the morning, never having slept all night Not all night Just as the stars align, take your hand join it to mine I won’t reply There’s an uneasy feeling I don’t recognise Now it seems there’s nothing to say Pleasures gone in the flash of a smile or a glance Away Stretched in front of me there walks another hope or just a false dawn theres no surprise The only light I see is reflected in your eyes Now just as it all seems so low You take my hand on the left and lead me to go Time to decide. Tell me what your in this for One last chance but I think I tried. It all. to make you feel alive Disappointments hard to hide. It’s the best years of your life It’s the best years of your life

As the train rolls out the station, It pulls my love behind The days were growing older as the nights were growing blind Maybe all would be forgiven But we never found the time As the train disappears for the east coast line. Past the coast, once so grand, what's so hard to understand As if that's ever gonna change a thing Take this chain, ride your luck, it’ll never be enough To keep the tide from surging, keep these feet from stumbling And stop the walls from crumbling to the sea Questions to those answers got lost along the way Tell the same old story of a half life slipped away If I were the brakesman, I would halt that train Disappear unnoticed to the east coast haze Dusty road, ancient light, what the hells here not to like Now that's never gonna mean a thing Take this chain, ride your luck, it’ll never be enough . To stop a mind from drifting Stop a heart from resisting And halt the rain by turning back the seas Staring straight into the haze, never found the words to say And now the land is shifting and reality is hitting home It's easier to turn back than to leap I can’t get through how different things could be If I only could return your honesty

Never before, have I seen a light so inviting Never again, will I let that flame entice me For it drew me in and it warmed by skin, then it burnt at my wings And the truth be told I’m growing old And it’s time to put away these childish things So I built these walls, to keep me in To keep you out, from under my skin And if they should fall, let the games begin As we take our places at the reckoning Caught unawares, well I saw the signs and I hoped I would be spared Caught in your sights, in this undergrowth of truth and lies there’s no place left to hide So stay close to the ground, don’t make a sound There’s only one way out of here alive and that’s in silence And if we step outside the boundary lines, our fears will surely come to find us So I built these walls, to keep me in To keep you out, from under my skin And if they should fall, let the games begin As we take our places at the reckoning So I built these walls, to keep me in To keep you out, from under my skin And if they should fall, let the games begin As we take our places at the reckoning
