1. BREATHE

Two men
They started walking
Started talking about better days
One says to the other
We do it all again
Seems I knew I would
And now I found it
Found I adored it
I didn't want this
Somebody help me see
Now I feel it
Feel like I've been there
I didn't need this
Somebody help me breathe

Here we are again
Just face to facing
Each other another day
Who wins?
Well, who cares
It always ends up the same
Seems I knew I would

And now I found it
Found I adored it
I didn't want this
Somebody help me see
And now I feel it
Feel that I've been there
I didn't need this
Would somebody help me stand?
And now I've told them
Already warned them
I didn't want this
Somebody help me breathe

If I was them
Then I wanna be
What I see
If I could drag my life in a moment
Wanna know, do you want me to go?
Going to keep it all from ending
Never stop myself from pretending
That you always knew that I never could

All I ever really wanted was to be the same
Equal treatment never ever comes
And there they go again
All I ever really wanted was to be like you
So perfect
So worthless
If I could take it all back think again
I would

And now I found it
Found I adored it
I didn't want this
Somebody help me see
Now I feel it
Feel that I've been there
I didn't need this
Somebody help me stand
And now I've told them
I didn't want this
I didn't need this
Would somebody help me breathe?
Would somebody help me breathe?
Would somebody help me?


2. COWBOT HAT

Yes, he wore a cowboy hat
Each bone broken in his back
All the money and all the gold
Couldn't buy my love at eight years old
Now I'm in love with a girl that's wrong for me
Ask her, she will disagree
Her father was a small town man
With small-time dreams and small-town hands
But

But I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when I say, I don't know
Gone for good in fact, but what does it mean?
Within a year, they always sold them, but

Easy enough to just look at her
Whole world on a silver platter
What's that? Is that bad for me?
If I would set her conscience free
Won round one, but it's not over
He don't care 'cause he didn't know her
Too long it's not the same
If I could lend a hand in shame

But I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when I say, I don't know
Gone for good in fact, but what does it mean?
Within a year, they always sold them, but

You'll always be
So much easier to see
Don't hide from me
That which I've already seen
You lie to me
More than occasionally
Don't lie to me
You lied to me

I'm as high as I'll ever be
I don't mind, stay and see
They've all gone, why don't we?
Lonely as you and me
But I'm as high as I'll ever be
Later on, last to see
My past is gone, only from me
I'm alive

But I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when I say, I don't know
Gone for good in fact, but what does it mean?
Within a year, they always sold them, but

Remember when it was me
Driving has come down just for me
And then we'll try as we've been


3. LEADER OF MEN

Tell your friends not to think aloud
Until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain
Your voice sounds so hollow
I am not a leader of men
Since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink
Since it's so hard to swallow?
So hard to swallow

So turn the television off
And I will sing a song
And if you suddenly have the urge
You can sing along

I touch your hand, I touch your face
I think the fruit is rotten
Give me lessons on how to breathe
Because I think I've forgotten
I think I've forgotten

One day, out to a cliff
That overlooks the water
I jumped in to save a girl
It was somebody's daughter
And now the ring that's on my hand
It was given to me by her
And to this day we all sit around
And dream of ways to get higher
To get much higher

Tell your friends not to think aloud
Until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain
Your voice sounds so hollow
I am not a leader of men
Since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink
Since it's so hard to swallow?
So hard to swallow


4. OLD ENOUGH

She's old enough
She knows enough
She's thrown up
So throw her
Out to me
And I'll treat her like she was mine
Not my belief
You got your way and I'll get mine

And I can't eat
I can't sleep
Oh, but thank you for coming
And why do we always laugh
While we're in this discussion?

Should have known enough
Never grown enough
Alone enough
To know my
Way will be
The path I wanted to try
If it fairs to be
Good for me, than I'd rather die

And I can't eat
I can't sleep
Oh, but thank you for coming
And why do we always laugh
While we're in this discussion?

Black words always lead to something
Bury her 'cause her time was cut thin
All the while you just stood and stared
Never cared to help we just got carried away

Lately it seems like my dreams have started to die
It occurred to me on the inside, I guess so have I

And I can't eat
I can't sleep
Oh, but thank you for coming
And why do we always laugh
While we're in this discussion?

Standing here with my two feet
Enjoy it now because it won't be
Some way, some how
The things that keep me alive
Aren't living here anymore


5. WORHTY TO SAY

They usually come around about ten o'clock
You can hear them, you can tell them by the way they knock
Somebody said the other one had a badge
Who told you, who told you?

How about if I stay and you run away?
Well, come on back and try to get some today
Well, somebody's gonna do it again
Gonna make me turn against all of my friends
So you better have something damn worthy to say

They're growing dope everywhere around the block
You can smell it, you can tell by the way they talk
Somebody stole five for gasoline
Who told you, who told you

How about if I stay and you run away?
Well, come on back and try to get some today
Well, somebody's gonna do it again
Gonna make me turn against all of my friends
So you better have something damn worthy to say

I'll never do it again (No, I won't)
Let's settle it (We don't)
I can't afford my life because I'm spending it
Since you got just what you wanted

We never do anything anymore
One eye on the telephone, one on the door
Somebody said revenge was served sweeter cold
I told you, I told you
They're growing dope everywhere around the block
You can smell it, you can tell it by the way they talk
Somebody stole five for gasoline
Who told you, who told you?

How about if I stay and you run away?
Well, come on back and try to get some today
Well, somebody's gonna do it again
Gonna make me turn against all of my friends
So you better have something damn worthy to say

I'll never do it again (No, I won't)
Let's settle it (We don't)
I can't afford my life because I'm spending it
Since you got just what you wanted
I'll never do it again (No, I won't)
Praise myself (I don't)
I can't afford my life because I'm spending it
Since you got just what you wanted
What you wanted
What you wanted
What you wanted


6. DIGGIN’' THIS

You say you don't want it
Just watch and you'll flaunt it
You stare at the ceiling
And ignore what I'm feeling

Well, that's fine, hey, I don't mind
I can find nothing wrong with it
And you say in your polite way
Oh, by the way, can you get on with it?

Now that I've seen
Not really diggin' this

Did I ask for your input?
How's the taste of your own foot?
To speak and not be right
You'd like to just rewrite
My life and take what you like
And decide with all of it
And to know that if it goes right
You'll never find out if I wanted it

Now that I've seen
Not really diggin' this
Now that I know
Not really diggin' this

Called him twice today (Called him twice today)
They said he went away
I never wondered why (I never wondered why)
They tried to hold him
I'm never coming back
Pull out the welcome mat (Pull out the welcome mat)
I never wondered why
They tried to hold him

The way that it's going
To laugh without knowing
The way that I'm feeling
Inside is unappealing

Well, that's fine, hey, I don't mind
I can find nothing wrong with it
And you say in your polite way
Oh, by the way, can you get on with it?

Now that I've seen
Not really diggin' this
Now that I know
Not really diggin' this
Not really diggin' this


7. DEEP

And you see much better than I see
And you know all that I'm thinking
To define or redefine too slow
And it seems all that I'm sinking
Running through the deep
Going to find the backwoods
I found out
All day long, who will be the big men giving some?

And you bleed much better than I bleed
And you've shown all that is so good
And your word, much better than my word
And you stand right where a hole should

Running through the deep
Going to find the backwoods
I found out
All day long who will be the big men giving some

Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
To feel divine
To hold onto one's self
To give and to give and
To never receive by myself

Running through the deep (I want it)
Going to find the backwoods (I need it)
I found out (Much more than he did)
All day long who will be the big men giving some
(Give it back somehow)
Giving some (I'm ready to forgive now)

Running through the deep
Going to find the backwoods
I found out
Yeah, yeah
All day long who will be the big men giving some
Running through the deep going to find the back backwoods
I found out, gonna get it, gonna get it
All day long who will be the big men?
Are you really, really gonna get it?



8. ONE LAST RUN

Best of friends; where'd they all go?
Try and find, but no one ever knows
This small town makes you wanna stay
Who the hell would want to anyway?
Well. I'm leaving
And I want it all
Thought I got
Better find this all
And I found out where it's all at

And I want it all
Thought I got
Better find this all
And I found out where it's all at

Better now than I'm before
Tried it once now I want it more
Memories all cut in half
Tell the truth then I want you to laugh
We're not laughing

And I want it all
Thought I got
Better find this all
And I found out where it's all at

Burn it all
Watch and learn
Sell it all watch and learn
Sell it all watch it burn

Steal a car
We're all headed south
You know the score so just shut your mouth
One more run then I want out
Not like them I'd rather go without
Without needing

And I want it all
Thought I got
Better find this all
And I found out where it's all at

Well I knew it all
Forgot it all
Better find this all
And I found out where it's all at


9. NOT LEAVIN’' YET

Come lie next to me, Jesus Christ
Holes in hand where a cross used to fit just right
The meeting called, the topic: a ladies fate
You don't have to remind me, I won't be late

Please excuse me, I'm sorry, I just can't wait
And don't use Grandfather as the bait

Down the hall the baby boy just born
Rosary around a crown of thorns

Please excuse me, I'm sorry, I just can't wait
And don't use Grandfather as the bait

Can't you see the lady's not ready
Hands and feet are bound and unsteady
In the hall the family's grieving
I'm the one who stays
I'm not leaving yet
I'm not leaving yet
No

I'm not leavin' yet
I'm not leavin' yet
I'm not leavin' yet

Can't you see the lady's not ready
Hands and feet are bound and unsteady
In the hall the family's grieving
I'm the one who stays
I'm not leaving yet
I'm not leaving yet
No


10. HOLD OUT YOUR HAND

All men with stars upon the chest
Save yourselves, your families
Don't worry about the rest
Small child receives light through the crack
The human mile, they're never coming back

Hold out your hand and ask for some

Now and again, she sits beneath the tree
The sign above reads
"Hard Work Will Set You Free"

Hold out your hand and ask for some
Hold out your hand and ask for some

Too late for another direction
Always what we've got in store
Hurry back; we've all been waiting
We can't take much anymore
Where are the days where brothers are brothers?
A childless mother
Leave it except for
Leave it except for one

Hold out your hand and ask for some
Hold out your hand and ask for some

Too late for another direction
Always what we've got in store
Hurry back, we've all been waiting
We can't take much anymore
Hold out your hand and ask for
Hold out your hand and ask for
Hold out your hand and ask for some


11. LEADER OF MEN (ACOUSTIC)

Tell your friends not to think aloud
Until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain
Your voice sounds so hollow
I am not a leader of men
Since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink
Since it's so hard to swallow?
So hard to swallow

So turn the television off
And I will sing a song
And if you suddenly have the urge
You can sing along

I touch your hand, I touch your face
I think the fruit is rotten
Give me lessons on how to breathe
Because I think I've forgotten
I think I've forgotten

One day, out to a cliff
That overlooks the water
I jumped in to save a girl
It was somebody's daughter
And now the ring that's on my hand
It was given to me by her
And to this day we all sit around
And dream of ways to get higher
To get much higher

Tell your friends not to think aloud
Until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain
Your voice sounds so hollow
I am not a leader of men
Since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink
Since it's so hard to swallow?
So hard to swallow
