Lose Myself

Traveled so far to lose myself
Traveled so far to lose myself
Turned the corner through the door
Escaping from the life I knew before
You were so quiet, so simplified
Somewhere in that moment
I felt justified

Traveled so far to lose myself
Traveled so far to lose myself
Traveled so far to lose myself
So the war broke out in someone else

I loved 'til I felt swallowed and ran
To the place where the dream began
Took me a million years
And I can't see my footsteps
Took me a million years
I can't see my own face

Traveled so far to lose myself
Traveled so far to lose myself
Traveled so far to lose myself
So the war broke out in someone else

You don't have to speak
Just let the war break out
You don't have to breath
Just let the war break out
You don't have to see
You don't have to feel
You don't have to need

Traveled so far to lose myself
Traveled so far to lose myself
Traveled so far to lose myself
So the war broke out in someone else

I'll never give up
Never give up, man
Never give up
Never give up
I might lose myself
I might lose myself instead
I might lose myself instead

Mission Beach

Mission Beach seems so far away
I can't believe it's out of reach
We have strayed away
Mexico where the funny waters flow
There's a risk when you get too close
I think we blew up a miracle

I thought that we were too tough
To let the world rough us up
Now all I need when I think of you
Is some kind of miracle to pull me through

I miss you too much to speak of
Each day gets a little bit more
So I'm writing the words of my feelings for you
Wondering what I do it for

You'll play Dylan's, "Maybe Someday"
And think of the distance we are embracing
Well I'm older now and far more weighted down
With the dreams you saw me chasing
You don't know what you want most
So San Francisco will hold you for a while
I'll stay on the east coast
And try to live this lifestyle

But everyone here lives for themselves
They play their own songs
I think they live within a shell
Of their narcissistic hell

I miss you too much to speak of
Each day gets a little bit more
So I'm writing the words of my feelings for you
Wondering what I do it for
I miss the world that we stood for
I miss running at the speed of light
I miss the music we lived for
I miss you late at night

I can feel the tide coming in
On Mission beach
Now the waters are white and they're dangerous
It's an angry sea
At Mission Beach

Anything In This World

If you're walking through this world alone
You might learn to love the solitary life
Call it what you will
Do with it what you like
Well I heard you were crying
Such a shame no one saw you were falling apart
I've been running in the shadows to get to you
I've been dancing with an ache in my heart

If there's anything in this world I could want
I just pray to Heaven above
If there's anything in this world I might need
Might be your love

Got these plans swimming around in my head
Got these dreams swimming around in my soul
They flaunt me they fake me they love me they forsake me
But they don't keep me from the cold
So I opened up my heart
And tried to let everything come rushing through
Now I'm stopped here in my tracks
All for the beauty of you

If there's anything in this world I could want
I just pray to Heaven above
If there's anything in this world I might need
Might be your love

See all these books on my shelf
I've searched page after page
For the key to this pain in my heart
For the door to its cage
Well let's not fool ourselves
We're not right, but we're not wrong
And to find what you truly need
Is to know you've had it all along

If there's anything in this world I could want
I just pray to Heaven above
If there's anything in this world I might need
Might be your love

The Edge

How can you look upon someone with both love and hatred?
How can you lie and cheat and still sleep at night?
How can you never be wrong?
Does it make you feel better?
Or does it make you feel something?

I'd go to the edge
Trying to understand
I'd go to the edge
Trying to understand

How does it feel to get everything you want?
And never earn the dollars you have?
How can you complain?
How can you complain?
Does it make you feel better?
Or does it make you feel something?

I'd go to the edge
Trying to understand
I'd go to the edge
Trying to understand

Your religion is cool
And you've thrown it in my face
Does it make you feel stronger?
To see my heart break?
Does it make you feel better?
Or does it make you feel something?

I'd go to the edge
Trying to understand
I'd go to the edge
Trying to understand
I'd go to the edge
Trying to understand
I'd go to the edge
Trying to understand

Pig

He's a bit of a baby
Bit of a pig
And God doesn't love you anymore
At least he never did
He's a bit of a bastard
But mostly the crowd
Biting off what he can't chew
And talking much too loud
Go back to your friends
I can see them laughing at everyone
Go back to your mother
She always said you're her special son
Then go to the wall
That you built around your soul
See if you can find anything at all

He's a bit of a baby
Bit of a pig
And God doesn't love you anymore
At least he never did
He's a bit of a bastard
But mostly the crowd
Biting off what he can't chew
And laughing much too loud
Go back to your friends
They can see that you're not in love
Go back to your mother
She always said you're her special son
Then go to the wall
That you built around your soul
See if you can find anything at all
See if you can find anything at all
See if you can find anything at all

River

Out of the blue I'm out of my mind
Words come too slow and they waste all my time
Another snow, another night alone

I had a love, crazy like me
Hard like a stone but so wild and so free
My baby's heart was stronger than steel
Curse me for loving something so real

Love is a river
But it takes you under
Leaves you with madness
And a terrible wonder

Who takes you down?
And who lets you be?
Who takes your heart?
And who sets it free?

Love is a river
But it takes you under
Leaves you with madness
And a terrible wonder

The Wait

Don't remember the day you left
Think you just faded away
Fast asleep in your husband's tomb
Dreaming the diamonds of the choice you made
Oh the aftermath of the social path
The emptiness and the madness no one knows

Still you wait for direction
Still you wait for inspiration
Still you wait for open arms
And the kind of love
You've got no questions about

Now the sun is sinking low
Night is giving birth
Me and my love; we're moving cross the land
Beneath the stars above the earth
Oh the spin of a lover's path
The weightlessness and madness no one knows

Still we wait for direction
Still we wait for inspiration
Still we wait for open arms
And the kind of love
We've got no questions about

I'm gonna find my heart
With a painters brush and a writers pen
Find the pieces that got blown apart
I trace the steps of the places I've been
Oh the tragedies of the artist path
The sadness and the madness no one knows

Still I wait for direction
Still I wait for inspiration
Still I wait for open arms
And the kind of love
I've got no questions about

Great Love

You say you got a hole in your soul
Where your heart used to be
You got a quivering mind
Where there used to be such security

Keep it up
Keep up your pace
'Cause I got one great love inside
And I don't want to wait

I dropped into the middle of an angry sea
And I'm swimming to your shore
You're still in my heart
I can't remember what I was running from

Keep it up
Keep up your pace
'Cause I got one great love inside
And I don't want to wait

Nobody told me
Nobody told me
How fragile is love
Nobody told me

Wherever you are
I hope you listen up
Let's find ourselves after this storm
And help each other get the hell up

Keep it up
Keep up your pace
'Cause I got one great love inside
And I don't want to wait

St Jude

Took a drive about a month or so ago
Up north to see the stars
Tally up the price we've been paying
For who and what we are
You said something about changing
And I knew it had to be true
I didn't sense your forgiveness, baby
And I couldn't feel you

Wake up St Jude
Take your head from your hands
Take a drive to the selfless part of town
Try not to burn it down again

Don't worry babe
If what you're searching for you can't find
It happens to the best of us
Hell it happens to everybody all the time
So when your days get shorter
And your nights are getting longer
And your dreams are not so clear
When the haze of indecision comes to mess you up
Just look up and I'll be there

Wake up St Jude
Take your head from your hands
Take a drive to the selfless part of town
Try not to burn it down again
Wake up St Jude
Because there's something you've got to know
That I have loved you and I will love you
Until the rusty end of the road

You might lock your heart away
When you find your dreams are not so sweet
When the whisky no longer kills the pain
And your eyes and hers don't meet
Remember that day,
I think we were both being tested
On the shore of a rocky coast
We were laughing and crying and singing this song
Praying this feeling would never go

Wake up St Jude
Take your head from your hands
Take a drive to the selfless part of town
Try not to burn it down again
Wake up St Jude
Because there's something both of us need to know
That I have loved you and I will love you
Until the rusty end of the road

Deepest Part of Me

That's when I found you
A crowd was at your feet
You closed your eyes and spoke the truth
You just wanted to be free
And I'm falling
Into the deepest part of me
Up to heaven we all walk alone
But we will be free
Tell me your story
Of the thousand things you've seen
We've got so far to go
And there are shackles on our feet
I've tried to spread my wings just like you do
You touch this world
No matter how hard I try
I'm still trapped with dreams unfurled
And I'm falling into the deepest part of me
Up to heaven we all walk alone
But we will be free
Who's gonna save us from ourselves?
That's all I really wanted to see
I never put you on the shelf
I only wanted you to be free
And I'm falling into the deepest part of me
Up to heaven we all walk alone
And we will be free
