Inside Break

When everything you thought you knew
turned into dust and blew away
you promised me you'd never go.
Now that your heart's been chipped apart
and you've grown nervous of the dark
where you've gone I will never know....
Up over mountains and down across the valleys
through the rivers that lead out to the sea.
Across the ocean using wind to guide your motion
as far away as you can get from me.
Well I went searching for you,
you never wanted me to.
Now everything that I do
leads me farther from you.
When everything inside breaks
you know, my heart it aches
but I'll do whatever it takes...
I've never felt so alone.
Have you heard of what's been happening at home?
Without us there everything still just gets along...
But when you left you took a little of its soul,
so when I left I took the rest to make it whole.
I will wander through the night,
use the stars to be my guide...
Over mountains I will climb,
anything to make it right.
With a chip on my shoulder
and regrets of growing older
I know I'll find a way to get you home.
I'll never get you home.

Surf's Up, Portland!

The sun rose over the mountain.
The mist was falling from the clouds above.
The night before I was wasted.
The morning now had yet to come undone.
Stare out the window now, searching for a miracle.
Gotta find a way now, to 'get yourself back home'...
About last night I'll say I'm sorry again,
I didn't mean to come off that way.
The girl I love lives far away.
You and I will never be the same.
Don't hold your breath for me
cause I'm not here to stay.
About last night I'll say I'm sorry again,
I didn't meat to come off that way.
The moon was full in the day sky.
The black cat was sleeping on the wall.
We felt the tide, it was rising.
The waves just kept crashing and crashing down.
Duck dive another one,
get out passed the inside break.
Wait for the perfect one
and when it comes don't hesitate.
Just because we can love
it doesn't mean we have to.
Those things that you're thinking of
require both of us to.
My hearts been put on reserve
just waiting in a short queue.
The wind is blowing northwest,
the set is coming in soon!
The waves are breaking left
pushing me up the coast.
For miles and miles I'll float
until my heart feels hope.
Then I paddle in 100 miles or so.....
Surf's up, Portland!

Mr. Skeleton

The past is the past,
there will always be skeletons.
What happened to me?
Well, that's just irrelevant.
I try to open up,
but there's just no telling it.
The past is the past,
there will always be skeletons...
Only we know how it really went down,
but I'm the only one who is standing now.
I'm sorry about what happened but for what it's worth,
I'll never forget March 31st.
You can get lied to looking life in the face
Mr.Skeleton's been running me from place to place.
I try to let it go, let it drift away,
but Mr.Skeleton used to have a name.
I never tried to take it away.
I pray now with my knees in the dirt,
responsible for pain, suffering and hurt.
If there was a way to turn back time,
I wouldn't have taken what was never mine.
Mr. Skeleton, sir, please forgive me.
This isn't the way it was meant to be.
After years of happiness that we'd built,
my broken heart's now filled with guilt.
Back off, though I know you'll never disappear.
You'll haunt me every step, this you have made oh so clear.
I never though my innocence would ever shatter whole,
but now I feel the weight of growing up and feeling old.
You'll never feel the same for life has already left you.
Mistakes have all been made, my sentence is already through.
If I could go back and just have one redo,
I wouldn't take you home to show the gun to you.

Amargosa

Amargosa wept, the day that I left.
She traded smiles for tears, forgetting contentment.
But nothing seems to change, for one man is nothing.
For Amargosa though, I was her everything.
The desert screams her name,
her life had just begun.
The lonely tumbleweed
laying stoned out in the sun.
The mountains far away
had still remained unknown.
For Amargosa everything closer
was her home.
She never liked to be alone.
The time had come and gone.
She welcomed me so dear...
She held me in her arms,
letting go our only fear.
The moment had to come
for this was not my home.
I was the victim though,
I hated leaving her alone.
She said she wouldn't come,
she said she wouldn't leave with me.
Her friends and family,
that little place on Mesa St.
She said that I could stay,
'I didn't have to go away'
That's why we cried that day,
we knew it wasn't meant to be.
That's when I left her all alone.
Amargosa is still at home.

Kurz und Beschissen

My grandpa left his home in 1938
Said goodbye to all he knew and headed towards the states.
He packed himself a bag with some t-shirts and blue jeans
His harmonica in his pocket, what everything he needed
He said, "There's nothing else you need to know...
Just that I've been alone for far too long.
So you go out and have your fun,
yeah you can only have it when you're young!
Life is short and shitty until the day you die"
Papa said he worked like a slave
"16 hours every single day...
I don't got no time for friends of family.
But at least I have this big pile of money.
But you don't want to live like that" he said,
"My brothers didn't know if I was alive or dead!
So you go out and have your fun,
yeah you can only have it when you're young!
Life is short and shitty until the day you die.
Bobby hoped that he would never leave,
but when he did there was no time to grieve.
He grabbed his coat and sailed across the sea.
Found himself alone in Borrego Springs.
"Please, don't bother calling me," he said...
"Here's my brothers number for when you find me dead.
I think I've used up all of my fun.
You best believe I had it when I was young!
This life's been short and shitty,
so now it's time to........
I will not follow, I will not pass.
I will not recognize mistakes of your past.
I will be stronger, I will be true.
I'ma make you jealous of everything I do.
So I'ma go and have my fun
and I'ma run this thing cause I'm still young.
Life is short and shitty until the day you die.
Life is short and shitty until the day you die.
