Protege

Lost in the headlights
Blowing off steam
A world full of spirits
Some kind but most mean
I’ve been looking forever
Trying to find me a way
If I could climb up to heaven
I’d be on my way
God’s next protege
Now if I had a family
A family who cared
Then these streets full of plenty
Might have filled me with fear
So I keep my eyes open
Sure that I’ll find a way
To climb up to heaven
And be on my way
God’s next protege
When I am through here
And my bed is laid
I’ll climb up to heaven
No more cast away

Desensitize Me
03:04

If I could make it all just fade away
And be left on my own
I’d be okay, I’d be okay, I’d be okay
I read the paper yesterday
It had not one good thing to say
I want to read about a tree’s
100th anniversary
Desensitize me
Desensitize me make me numb
Desensitize me from the noise
I’m sick and done
If I could only see a show
That didn’t prophet our implode
I’d be alright with that
I wouldn’t have to feel so bad
Desensitize me
Desensitize me make me numb
Desensitize me from the noise
I’m sick and done
I’m sick and done
Pay per view news
Pour it on
Lay down your hocks
String me along
If I could make it all just fade away
And be left on my own
I’d be okay, I’d be okay, I’d be okay

Tell You
03:56

Five strike birthright and not a hope in hell
Three culture trying to tell me all is well
Moved along drawing strength from my checkered past
How far did you think I’d get thinking this would last
Tell you about my life
Tell you about my life
The air is getting thicker with a thousand higher calls
Be the first to throw the stone or be the first to fall
Tow the line and keep the faith and one day see the light
Gave up on me years ago and who gave you the right
Tell you about my life
Tell you about my life
Tell you about my life
Tell you about my life
Should I question your motives
Or just tell you ‘bout my life
Did you know it was so loaded
I’ll just pretend that all is well
Tried hard to make it work
I wore a suit and heels
Climbed the corporate ladder
Tell I felt the real deal
Always made the quota
Somehow never made the club
Spinning round in circles
By an utter lack of love
Tell you about my life
Tell you about my life
Tell you about my life
Tell you about my life

I don’t know why they fly that flag so high
Don’t think they know the stones they throw
Could see it every day if I don’t turn my eyes away
I hope someday they find their way
And in your pickup truck looking redneck and rough
Ain’t got nothing better to do
Say that it’s rebellion, didn’t know ‘bout segregation
Too busy trying to look cool
Well, I don’t know why they fly that flag so high
Don’t think they know the stones they throw
Could see it every day if I don’t turn my eyes away
I hope someday they find their way
Looking out on my streets where many cultures meet
Haven’t seen you stay for too long
Your fear crippled heart has left you bound with many scars
Don’t take your shit out on me
Well, I don’t know why they fly that flag so high
Don’t think they know the stones they throw
Could see it every day if I don’t turn my eyes away
I hope someday they find their way
I hope someday they find their way

The Chains that Bind
04:03

Raise you head
Time to face the day
Standing on your own
The toll that must be paid
Brought into this world
I hope you fit the mold
Don’t stand apart
Don’t dare to be to bold
Mmmmm
The chains that bind them
Have no more hold on you
Mmmmm
The fear that finds them
Will never let them be
But you are free
Raise before the dawning
of the age of living free
Stick with what they know
An active apathy
Love it is remaining
And will ever be
It’s not easy
The distance in between
Mmmmm
The chains that bind them
Have no more hold on you
Mmmmm
The fear that finds them
Will never let them be
But you are free
Ah ooooo
Ah ooooo
Ohhhhhhhh
Ah ooooo
Ah ooooo
Ohhhhhhhh
You are free
You are free
You are free

Woe (the sofa song)
06:31

This is my coffin I lay here alone
The drone of the TV I can’t reach the phone
I’m not dead I’m not buried I’m just kinda gone
And if you knocked on my door there’d be nobody home
Strong in its silence this room gives me wake
A peaceful surrender when hard are life’s days
Not a word spoken but stories are told
In tears of reflection beyond my control
Woe
Another tough road to hoe
Woe
I’m riding the high and the low
Another day passes another day lost
If I’d paced myself better I’d push of the cost
A gentle reminder of what can be lost
And when I recover I’ll be better off
Woe
Another tough road to hoe
Woe
I’m riding the high and the low
Woe
I’m riding the high and the low
