Empty Bed 03:06
Lost my mind to exhaustion Haven’t slept, not a wink Throwing back another drink Never should have crossed him Knocked me out with just one punch My open jaw, it felt the crunch Broken on the floor Sleep found me that’s for sure The hard way All because I couldn’t face that empty bed Not surprised I lost it It’s only been a week since you went away Hitched a ride with a friend to LA No I know what the cost is For all those things I yelled before you said so long I had to be right, but I was fucking wrong Broken on the floor Sleep found me that’s for sure The hard way All because I couldn’t face you leaving me again You leaving me again.... By now you’ve made it across this Giant land between then and now Enjoy the sun I’ll soon wake up and move on somehow

The ball of his shoulder nudges through the door the man with no name knows what he’s there for his foe dead on the floor He damn well can carry himself his shoulders calmly back his hands are at his sides and he’s ready to attack Hear his hammer click back his shot is right on track a romantic notion he keeps his cool a romantic notion he knows just what he’ll do when the world surrounds him he brushes the dust from his shirt and takes that fateful step The gun makes the rules The best shot is the king The most beautiful voice Rarely gets to sing Instead they feel the sting of the one who is king The man with no name once was asked “Aren’t you a fan of peace?” He answered “How could I be a fan, of something I’ve never seen? If I dropped my guard for just a second, I’d be dead and so I just go ahead and do what needs to be done what needs to be done” a romantic notion he keeps his cool a romantic notion he knows just what he’ll do when the world surrounds him he brushes the dust from his shirt and takes that fateful step One he knows ends with death

Four Walls 05:12
The sun is high in the sky You can feel its warmth as it Softly caresses your pale skin The swaying grass seems To know something you don’t The air is foreboding Something’s up Open your eyes As if its the first time Out on the other coast The 4 walls that you built They kept you a little too grounded You never could get past The locks and the chains and the mechanical brains the things that kept you a little too sane You open your eyes As if its the first time Home feels so far away It’d take 100 years even if you flew all the way A little voice is whispering that you need to stay Take a nap on the earth The way you have plenty of times in your own town But since you had to fly a few thousand miles to get here, sleep never felt so good Open your eyes As if its the first time Home feels so far away It’d take 100 years even if you flew all the way A little voice is whispering that you need to stay The sights and the sounds of California The sights and the sounds of California The old you will never see anything again The sights and the sounds of California Now you see everything through a new lens
