I thought that I would find it in the morning,
or in the light that shines the afternoon,
I thought to journey back to where we started
cause maybe I would find it in the moon.
Well maybe it was really in my mother;
the blood that's always running through my veins;
and though that seemed to get me even further
the distance still existed just the same.
Let me go... let me live...
let me wonder through the fire carrying the weight of all I did.
Let me cry... let me fall...
let me feel the weight of freedom without the need to stand against the wall.

Love Save Me

Well if you're running from the answers
I'll give you one good place to hide.
Just rest your head upon my shoulders
or your legs between my thighs.
I decided it don't matter
I'll take whatever makes you mine;
And we'll keep lying here together
like we've slowed the hands of time.
Now, we can fuck and call it Love,
say how good it makes us feel.
Or we can walk across the fire
towards the only thing that's real.
See, I got plenty road before me
but I think I'll stay off track
'cause I would rather bare the journey
than to dread the looking back.
Love Save Me
Love Save Me
Love Save, oh save my soul.
Now I got whiskey for my problems
I got gin for all the good
I took a pill before the party
but was still misunderstood.
And I go to church on Sunday morning
crying ‘Lordy, help me please!’
But then I swear I heard him tell me
‘Get the fuck up off you knees’.
So then I found a one trick pony
we had a hell of a good time.
That is, until the bastard told me
he was gonna learn to fly.
To my surprise I grabbed a saddle
and a little nip of gin,
(‘Cause you see once we get to flying
we may never walk again).
Love Save me
Love Save Me
Love Save, oh save my soul.
Now, best believe that I’ll be grinning
when the time comes to collect
from the poor soul that came before me
and the ones who tried their best.
And you might attempt a little whisper
when your time is running out
but it’s my voice that you’ll be hearing
When you open up your mouth.
Love Save Me
Love Save me
Love Save, oh save my soul.

Well, thank God I got my EBT today
Cause I don't think that I could take another PB&J
And I swear I'm getting tired of living my life this way
But thank God I got my EBT today.
Wanna tell ya I'm happy,
wanna tell you I'm smooth,
wanna take you with me for a ride or two.
Wanna tell you I'm wealthy,
wanna tell you I'm clean,
But truth be told... it still won't mean a thing.

What do you say when the only way to face the day is to find another way
And what do you do when the seed you knew would outgrow you has somehow fallen through
And where do you go when the shadows, they grow cause the more you reap the more you sow
See I’m not looking for your answers, I’m not searching for your time
And if I needed your approval I’d probably would give you mine
I see you’re searching for a savior, well gon ahead and stand in line
Cause I’m still picking up the pieces to turn this water into wine
Give me a sign, a little truth, a bit of proof of my abusive soul
Lend me a hear and I will make it clear that this face right here’s got plenty of time on it
And what should you care if I open my eyes because
I got holes, you got holes, we all got holes don’t we
See I’m not looking for your answers, I’m not searching for your time
And if I needed your approval I’d probably would give you mine
I see you’re searching for a savior, well gon ahead and stand in line
Cause I’m still picking up the pieces to turn this water into wine

When I told you we were running out of time
and I saw it was the last thing on you mind;
well, I must admit is spun me for a ride,
But that's alright
You build castles out of bridges that you've burned
sipping coffee from a pot you never urned;
and I hate myself cause I never said a word
But lesson learned
Now, I can clap my hands to the tune of your design
But I can't tune my heart to the shadows in your mind.
So if this song it never grows a chorus line
Well that's just fine
I've tossed pennies in a sea of my regrets
and I've made deals with God I think that he forgets;
and though I'm not the type to ever win a bet
I ain't dead yet.
Yeah, even though I'm not the type to win a bet
I ain't dead yet.
