Jasper

Two of my paths diverged in wood
I took the one less travelled by
Thought that it would
Stiffen up my shoes
But I used up all my arrows
Shooting down the sparrows
That I thought were only cherubs
Sent from you
Back before the dawn
Still I just kept moving on
I don’t know what
Pursued me on my way
But the western sky grew dim
The further that I reached for it
The farther that it seemed
To stretch away
But I’m gonna go down to Jasper
To see just what comes after
All this pain
When I get down to the water
I know that I’ll be cleaner once again
That’s why I just have to go my friend
So i read the dead sea scrolls
Talked to all the animals
And I read up every sign
Along the way
They didn’t say too much
The legends I have heard enough
I thought that they could never
Change my fate
But I’m gonna go down to Jasper
To see just what comes after
All this pain
When I get down to the water
I know that I’ll be cleaner once again
That’s why I just have to go my friend
I know that there’s no sign
No preaching past or peace of mind
That ever could relieve me all my days
The desert’s made of sands
The sky it tries with feeble hands
To hold onto the wind that slips away
But I’m gonna go down to Jasper
To see just what comes after
All this pain
When i get down to the water
I know that I’ll be cleaner once again
Two of my paths diverged in wood
I took the one less travelled by
Thought that it would
Stiffen up my shoes

Found A Light
03:24

Crawl beneath the underpass
Wade into a place to find a dream
Follow me you know you see
No one’s face but no, it ain’t me
Babe it ain’t me
When you’re crawling on my knees
To find the place you know
It’s somewhere in your sleep
But you go those places that you know
Could never be, except for where it seems
You tell me
But I found a light
One day you might
But I found a light
One day you might
Now you see, in me
The darkest light
Fought to find the oceanside
Stumble from a place you can’t hide
See you stare from miles away
Sitting on the stairs while you stay
When you’re crawling on your knees
To find the place you know it’s somewhere
in your sleep
Well that wind is gonna wind up
Cloud your mind and hole up all the things inside
That you hide
But I found a light
One day you might
But I found a light
One day you might
Now you see in me
Oh you see clearly
What don’t you find?
And you walk
In that field where we used to lay
"Come back to me now”
I heard you say
And I found a light and now I know
To burn away
Every trace of what you call “someday”

Family Tree

This family tree
Is rotten inside of me
All those names on the wall
That just don't relate to me
No depression don't run
It limps in my family
And ever since I've been backing away
So slowly
Boy where did you get it from
Boy where did you get it from me?
You better watch your mouth
Where did you learn those words you speak
In this house, under my roof
You take after me
This family tree
Has taken a hold on me
Passed down, I'm passed out
Branching out to the fallen leaves
Boy where did you get it from
Boy where did you get it from me?
You better watch your mouth
Where did you learn those words you speak
In this house, under my roof
You take after me
I guess that one apple
Could spoil the bunch
I was bobbing with my head
While all you did was watch
When i picked it from the tree
I think that it picked me
So when I carved in my initials
The roots were too deep to see
After me, after me
I guess you take

Roadside
07:40
|

It's not what it looks like
No it's not what you think
You had too much drive
And not enough to drink
It's not what you asked for
No it's not even close
You just take off your head
And you sleep in your clothes
You got the right to remain silent
Now, speak for yourself
When you say I'm heaven sent but you're just
Giving me hell
Well on the roadside sign
Walk that fine line
In my cuffs holding hand in hand
You say forget it, it's fine
It's my crime
It's for your own good
They gave you a chance
And you bought yourself time
With a bedroom advance
And will they put you away
When they sentence me to life
But if you don't get out (once in a while)
How will you survive
You got your right to one call
Well if you recall what I said
When I read your basic rights
And you screamed, then go ahead
You made appeals
The jury's out on this one
But on a trial basis
You'd rather be on the run
It's my crime
You're on your best behaviour
You might as well go free
You couldn't stomach your pride
So i swallowed the key
You did 50 to life
But that's nothing to me
Are you still in your chains?
That you wore for me
You do your time
But love's a petty thief
You get charged
But it's my crime
