Woe to Us All

Run down the mountain
Run till you fall
Hope be forgotten
Woe to us all
Leave me crystal waters
Drawn from the creek
Sit down beside me now
When my limbs are weak
Secrets I've kept from you
You will someday learn
And you must leave her never to return
No return
Cradled in the branches
Or face down in a hole
If you should fall behind
Woe to us all
Embers turn to ashes
When there's nothing left to burn
The flame has left them never to return
No return
So run down the mountain
Run till you fall
Hope be forgotten
Woe to us all
Woe to us all
Woe to us all

I might be rightly accused
Of dreaming out loud
Trying to see things
In every passing cloud
Well I spent some time
Consigned to the old scrap yard
When I saw you face again
It hit me kinda hard
I got a little carried away
But I’m OK now
I got a little carried away
But I’m OK now
We pass like ships
And then we drift apart
I said I wanted nothing
And I lied with all my heart
I guess I got pretty good
At avoiding all the traps
If I start to waver
It’s just a momentary lapse
I got a little carried away
But I’m OK now
I got a little carried away
But I’m OK now
I might have to fake it
But I’ll make it back somehow
I’m OK now
I’m OK now

I don't blame you for days we got caught in the sun
I don't blame you for stickin' around when you probably shoulda run
I guess we both got what we needed for a little while
I can't blame you for the rain you chased away with a smile
But why'd you have to ruin everything
Why'd you have to ruin everything oh oh
Why'd you have to ruin everything
By saying that you love me
By saying that you love me
By saying that you love me
when you know that we can never be
I don't blame you for the miles that pass beneath your wheels
Sometimes when you find yourself lost well I know how it feels
When the lights are dim and the cheap whiskey goes down rough
We wonder why we can't be happy with good enough
But why'd you have to ruin everything
Why'd you have to ruin everything oh oh
Why'd you have to ruin everything
By saying that you love me when you know that we can never be
And I can't be your destination
Just a lonely way station
Left the light on for you
Why'd you have to ruin everything
Why'd you have to ruin everything oh oh
Why'd you have to ruin everything
Why'd you have to ruin everything

Damaged Goods

You don't have to tell me your story
'Cause I've seen those eyes in the mirror before
And I can see that something is broken
But nothing's gonna hurt you anymore
And there's a mask you hide behind
But take it off and I won't mind
Scars that you don't want the world to see
Baby you don't look so bad to me
Damaged goods, damaged goods
You and me, we're damaged goods
Not entirely beyond repair
Maybe a little bit worse for wear
Damaged goods, damaged goods
We've been wandering in the woods
Looking for a place to share some company
I was tossed about by misfortune
Landed on your doorstep at last
Sometimes I see faces in the shadows
Sometimes I hear voices from the past
And if I bolt awake at night
No need to turn on the light
You can just reach out and take my hand
I know you can understand
Damaged goods, damaged goods
You and me, we're damaged goods
Not entirely beyond repair
Maybe a little bit worse for wear
Damaged goods, damaged goods
Our faces hiding in our hoods
Looking for a place to share some company
Now now now now now
Now now now now now now
And if you're frozen by your fear
If the way ahead's unclear
I may not know how to be your guide
But I'll be right by your side
Damaged goods, damaged goods
You and me, we're damaged goods
Not entirely beyond repair
Maybe a little bit worse for wear
Damaged goods, damaged goods
We've been wandering in the woods
Looking for a place to share some company

Cut Me Loose

Sunrise on a scarecrow
Another night is done
Riverbed waiting on the winter rain
Rabbit on the run
It’s another diary entry
Journal of a wasted year
Lonely eyes of the sentry
Faithfully standing here
And I suppose I served some purpose
Hope I could be of some use
What doesn’t kill us still can hurt us
If you’re gonna cut me
Just cut me
Cut me loose
Now there’s raven on a razor wire
Coyote in the street
Running away from the breaking day
Blood dripping from her feet
And I’m thumbing through the dog-eared pages
Burned in our memories
Lessons of the ages
Turned into prophecies
And I don’t want to sit here suffocating
Silent as you tighten the noose
So why are you still hesitating
If you’re gonna cut me
Just cut me
Cut me loose
And I don’t know how to say it any clearer
Hope this doesn’t sound obtuse
The danger is drawing ever nearer
If you’re gonna cut me
Cut me
Cut me
Cut me loose

Best Laid Plans

Stumbling out of the darkness
I was a man on the make
Pushing ever faster
Leaving disaster in my wake
I’ve made a fine mess and called it art
Trying to get lost when I don’t know where to start
You might as well throw a dart and see where it lands
Best laid plans
Best laid plans
Batten down the hatches kids
We’re headed for a hurricane
We’re gonna join the chorus of the cannonballs
In that glorious refrain
But when the battle cries rang hollow
With the lies that we couldn’t swallow
It was no surprise we failed to follow commands
Best laid plans
Best laid plans
Best laid plans
Just slippin’ right through your hands
Now I’m sifting through the driftwood
That’s been gathering here for years
And now become a princely sum
Of trinkets and souvenirs
But success it seems is harder to measure
Than the youthful dreams of a life of leisure
Lost like buried treasure beneath the sands
Best laid plans
Best laid plans
Just slippin’ right through your hands
