Empty Bed

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

Man with No Name
04:45

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
