Oh my word I've seen something that's good Didn't think I could All the sins I've done I would repeat To get her to me Rock me darling rock to sleep tonight Stay with me until the morning time If you leave before we wake I'd swear to God my soul you'd take away Made a list of things that we'd become We'd settle none Burn down all the doors that held us back No looking back Rock me darling rock to sleep tonight Stay with me until the morning time If you leave before we wake I'd swear to God my soul you'd take away Wipe the fear from our eyes Strip me down to my disguise I am bare where I lie Pick me up pick me up Rock me darling rock to sleep tonight Stay with me until the morning time If you leave before we wake I'd swear to God my soul you'd take away

Stomp, Clap 03:28
I'm sleeping in the next room over Laying on the hard wood floor My baby's living in her head Can't find the way to me instead Our brother's hiding in the corner Wears a mask and speaks to no one Trees are counting different shades Numbering my days Oh put down the telephone Jump off the ledge alone Lay down the gun go home Don't listen to the radio Who is the ghost in the machine Is he as messed up as he seems We are a mouse inside a maze Born to live to entertain Where is the man I was becoming Hopped a train and kept a running Oh they're leaving me behind Left alone to die Oh put down the telephone Jump off the ledge alone Lay down the gun go home Don't listen to the radio

I miss my family And nights that I could sleep And the only thing keeping me awake Were the dreams of yesterday I ran from my hometown Had a ticket out Now the only thing keeping me away Are the dreams of yesterday If I am to die Leave behind a ragged life Tell my story slow Make it sweet make it known I washed upon your steps Bruised and beat to hell You hosed me down Broken unwound And I learned to love again You hopped the first train home Left me here alone No I don't blame you Nor do I choose To learn to love anew If I am to die Leave behind a ragged life Tell my story slow Make it sweet make it known If I am to die Leave behind a ragged life Let me stay with you Till the dark fades to blue

Come on girl follow me We're gonna take a ride down to the sea Where buried treasure buried treasure lies Buried deep beneath my heart inside Baby sweet don't you know I've been through this same old thing before Fairy tale made up to relieve Promises a man will never keep I chopped down the cherry tree Took some fruit and left the rest to bleed Told a fib to save my tail Only fooling you to fool myself No one else Say to me please forget I'm like one that you have never met Memories ripped up to begin Patterns cycled time and time again Darling dear face so sweet I'm the baddest one you'll ever see I'll blow right down your house made out of straw And eat you up 'til I can't have no more I chopped down the cherry tree Took some fruit and left the rest to bleed Told a fib to save my tail Only fooling you to fool myself No one else Say to me oh I chopped down the cherry tree Took some fruit and left the rest to bleed Told a fib to save my tail Only fooling you to fool myself No one else

Dorothy Gale 04:21
I meant to play things right To put the past behind me Spend time in isolation No reconciliation for lies All lies Daydreamer blind to love to light Every spite please ignite Gave everything I had A way to get some back I thought Turns out I'm pretty lonely Without the world around me I see Just me Daydreamer blind to love to light Every spite please ignite Wake up my eyes It's time Wake up my eyes and my life oh it's time Daydreamer blind to love to light Every spite please ignite

The Man I Am 04:32
I thought I'd learned the come and go Will I be selfish or alone Always alone I'll stay the night with you instead Escape the walls in my head These walls I dread So just lay your head to rest on me Stay till nothing's troubling you Feel free to take my grin I trust it'll find a safer ending too For the fool I was sees nothing in the truth And the man I am is only passing through Marked walls by the door entail Past hopes and ancient lovers fail Always fail Wine and whiskey will rewind Catch me at a better time Another time So just lay your head to rest on me Stay till nothing's troubling you Feel free to take my grin I trust it'll find a safer ending too For the fool I was sees nothing in the truth And the man I am is only passing through
