AFTER THE FALL
No more room for messing around
Shift your weight now off the thinning ice
Lest you have an accident
Big enough to break you in a fight
Though I’d like to see you try
Get out while you have a chance
Get out while you can
Wait... this doesn’t mean that you are giving up the call
The way it works sometimes
Before the rise you will know the fall
There you go testing your faith
The Lord giveth and taketh away and now
You’re waiting cuz you’re stubborn
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Boy I’d like to knock you out
Before you bring harm to yourself
And everybody else
Wait... now I know in part, then you shall know it all
The way it works in life
In the grand design we all need to fall
Pull yourself together or else
You’ll regret it all by yourself
And I won’t be around to call you out
Boy you better shut your mouth
You try, you fail, you gain it after the fall
You gain it all after the fall

THE COMEBACK
What’s going on? You don’t seem like yourself
Maybe you just need to get out
If you’re sick of the rain
Maybe take a trip to LA
It might take time, bet you’re gonna make it out alive
Think of all time you put in
To be where you are
When you make it this far (be careful)
That’s when it all seems to fall apart
I guess I’m not surprised, it feels like it’s automatic
But you gotta give me some kind of sign
That you’re doing alright
Just say you’re alive
I get your point of view
But maybe lose the attitude
Move it to the passenger side
You’re stuck in a rut
You can’t take the heat
Alone at the bar
A skip skip in the beat
That’s how it all seems to fall apart
Do you really need the follow the rest
You really should get out while you can
As a matter of fact
We’re all waiting for a comeback
But we understand the move to resign
The state of the world
Nickel and dimed
The kid stuck on a screen
A clear sign of the times
I’ll be at the bar if you need me
You know the rest
That’s how it all seems to fall apart

LAZY AFTERNOONS
Everything feels just about right,
There’s nothing left to do but wait and see
You and I both need these lazy afternoons every now and then
Cuz life can break us down sometimes
So to save us from ourselves
Don’t forget to breathe
Can’t you see when times are tough
Your thoughts and prayers are not enough
You don’t have to have any answers for me
You don’t have to say anything
But I just need you here by my side
It feels right to have your company
It sucks to see you leave
So don’t leave me to answer alone
And I just need you here by my side
For more than tea & sympathy
More than fancy words
Everything feels just about right,
There’s nothing left to do but wait and see

Love Like A Down

LOVE LIKE A DOWN
Somebody told me that love was a lot like a down
How you feel when doing nothing while standing around
As you wait for someone to relate, till it takes you away
Before you knew it came and your off
To follow some rules you don't understand
You're still a little confused on how to feel
There was a time that I thought love was blind
Till it opened my eyes, and I saw I knew nothing
But don't take offense, it's not meant to make sense
Often that's how it goes and yet nobody knows how to stop
Or where it might end, and could this be love?
Would we try try again to no avail
Somebody told me a lie
To be fair no one knew at the time
For a word undefined it's not worth to break ties
So a part of you is still is a part of me
There's nothing to gain but addiction to pain
When surrounded by walls all your thoughts will betray you
The longer you stay the greater the weight and the harder the fall
I hope that you find your way out
Do I have your attention?
You don't need to know but you have to believe
In a world unattended we look for the answers
and ask the wrong questions, and we are all wrong yet we are all right
Somebody told you a lie
To be fair no one knew at the time
For a word undefined it's not worth to break ties
and a part of you is still is a part of me

I Don't See The Point

I DON’T SEE THE POINT
Unless you know another way that I don't
Then I don't see the point
I don't mind if you leave first
I’ll wait and follow right behind
To separate ways we go to start our new lives
It’s part your fault and part my own, not one
We cannot cast a stone
I don't know, I can't be sure
But I think I might die alone
But you don't know what you had until
It slips right through your hands
Who will carry the weight of all I am
When you're gone?
The last to leave decides the epitaph
However hard to say the words
Can it be undone?
Can I make it right for once?
I would sell it all to pay the cost
But what if I was dead wrong?
You don't know what you had until
It slips right through your hands
Who will carry the weight of all I am
When you're gone?
So pick a lane and I'll go the opposite way
I'll stay away from the places you love to be
I'll try my best to pretend that I'm moving on
When you're gone
You don't know what you had until
It slips right through your hands
Who will carry the weight of all I am
When you're gone
