Track Name: Young Believer
quite the young believer
flags and badges
no chance to shake the fever
two time rust belt
blood bank run out

blame it on the time of day
you can't help but lose your way
blame it on the time but you missed your shot
boy, you lost your way
boy, you lost your way
boy, you're lost...
there's no way back
down the path they paved

quit the city
quit trying to please her
hit the road
what you gotta fear?
get out drugged up
cut down, you
had enough?

blame it on the time of day
excuses for every change
blame it on the boys with the fevers
flash so hot, their eyes ablaze
boy you lost your way
boy you lost your way
boy you lost your way
Track Name: No Way Back
cast the sails and hold your tongue
cuz there's no way back from here
the way these winds keep blowin' in
the consequences are clear
broken souls
will sweat and choke
as the tidal walls appear
but when the winds rip at their ranks, they'll find you
frozen cold with fear

(chorus)
When the shoreline starts to fade
when the sunlight turns to rain
when the summer wind turns to a wintry burn
keep your focus trained

hold the rail and hide your eyes
cuz that wave is rising up
you can hold your breath or count the stars
but this time you're out of luck
distract your broken, busy mind,
this is the last breath you'll suck
from here on in, it's time to count your sins
this ship is good as sunk

(chorus)

hold your memories, keep them hard
and press them to that flame
cuz when the waves wash out your little lamp
they'll wash away your name
hold your loves, your treasured ones
but place no parting blame
don't let loose those pains and truths
take them to your grave
Track Name: I Hope I Keep My Word
all the boys you idolize well they can't help but
hide their eyes
they know to well the sadness on your brow
you been kicked around all over town
abused and kindly welcomed out
to walk the midnight trails out on your own
if you're lonesome babe, i'll gladly take you home

how much love can one man give
when there aint no reason why to quit, won't
give a thought to watching when you go
ya, you'll come back and so will I, why
worry 'bout the passin time
i loved you like i never thought I'd know
when you lonesome babe, you got my hand to hold

(chorus)
but you let em kick you out at night
you let 'em win without a fight
you can't stand up; your stance, you can't assert
if you come with me i'll never let you hurt
if you come with me i hope i keep my word

i ask myself, "well just how long?
i gotta go to kindom come?" to find you in this
backward city block
but there you were just watching me
your eyes like diamonds in a sea
of darkness moving higher, like a wave
is this love or is there some mistake i've made?

have you no time to spend on me?
you got a job, i've got this feeling
lurkin back behind this heavy heart
well i told you, you could lean on me
if things became a bit too bleak, i
never thought i'd sit and watch you fall
if you're lonesome i can't help you after all

you let him kick you out at night
you let 'im win without a fight
you can't stand up; your stance, you can't assert
if you come with me i'll never let you hurt
if you come with me i hope i keep my word

"how long's the question lingered there, behind your eyes?
you stop and stare, but
you can't lend direction to your words."
"how much time has passed you by?
have you forgot the reason why we started down this
dusty path in hope?"
"well this lonesome trail's got no direction home."

i can't promise that i'll stay sincere
or stay this way for good this year,
but i can't make it through this storm alone
so if you know me like you do, i
don't ask much, just want the truth, would you
stand beside me knowing that i might fold?
if you're lonesome babe i'll gladly take you home
but if you know me babe, you know that i don't know
but if you love me babe, i'll keep my word, i hope...
Track Name: Your Pocket's Full
sayin' nothin cuz your pocket's full
you're born lucky with a silver spoon
sick of payin off your papa's dues
you're lookin lucky but your bound to lose

buddy take your hands off of
my back
what kind of man gets a kick out of keepin me
trapped in debt?

sayin nothin cuz your pocket's full, boy you're
born luck with a silver spoon
you're sick of filling in your papa's shoes, boy you
never break from the plans they drew

buddy take your hands off of
my neck
you say you're struggling but you always got a
fistful of cash
what kind of man is that?
what kind of man is that?
Track Name: Backroad Route (slop version)
well, i'm taking the backroad home
not a dollar to my name
or a highway that i know

take my time
no rush to reach that
promised land tonight

i gotta run
those streets tonight
run the roads we used to to walk when that
summer breeze blew right

run that light
better pray your days don't
end up short on time


no time for teasin'
ain't got no time to lose
if you'll let me have you,
you could cut this old dog loose, but you won't

gimme nothin'
'cept a ticket down that
backroad route


well i've got this pain
in my gut
gonna lead me back home
from where i come

but this engine's running on fumes
no, i'm not so sure i'm
coming back
to you
back to you
Track Name: Bound for Bad News
something
tells me you're gonna pass through
you'll catch that ride back home
whichever road you choose
wonderin
what good will wishin do?
well why waste that time
trying to follow those fading fumes

well goodbye
brown eyes
it's hardly midnight
but time to cut you loose
ya goodbye
brown eyes
that candle's bound to die
that smoke is bound to bloom

goodnight
to you
well, goodnight
to you

watching
what good will speaking do?
why would i waste my breath
barge in or intrude?
well something
tells me you're bound for bad news
bound for bright lights
that'll burn out soon

well goodbye
brown eyes
it's hardly midnight
but time to cut you loose
ya goodbye
brown eyes
that candle's bound to die
that smoke is bound to bloom

well goodnight
to you
goodnight
to you
