Grandpa
03:40

The conversation is trickling
the way you go at is sickening
oh put it to rest
Every way your twisting it
always there insisting it
line right up
with your point of view
like uh oh oh
where will I go
with nothing to see
and nothing to show
for this life
save for some bad advice
with nothing to show
nowhere to be
and nowhere to go in this life
save to fade into the night
my hands were freezing
while my grandpa's wheezing
in the retirement home
right near his deathbed
but he left my father
and uncle all alone
now the girls
and the cars
and the money
and the boats
can never sail him home
the moral of the story, is you get what you deserve, one way or another your sentence is served, if not in heaven hell or on earth, its somewhere inbetween, right before rebirth,
but who am I to say? I wear the same shame, sit here in a cave, the road that he paved, pray to the Lord his soul will be saved, where I'm going.....

Flesh is Weak
04:20

write a song about Grandpa, now grandpas dead
all the guilt resurfaces to my head
I can feel the weight of all the things I've said
I can feel the weight
I just wanna go and drown myself in drink again
I was hoping that I'd never have to think again
I don't think I can do this on my own
I don't think that I can
the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak

Tough Love
04:32
|
|||
|
I didn't ask for this life
when I was born, I was born half dead
the doctors brought me back to life
maybe they shouldn't have
Because I felt like the Devil's child
reckless heartless and wild
all the while, hurting those I claimed to love
but I know that
this head don't work the way its supposed to
but I don't wanna take anymore drugs
maybe this is just what I need , Tough Love
I judged so many people, while the blood drips from my own fingertips
hits the tile floor, foot slips, pride before the fall

Close to Death
04:54
|

I'm gonna take a different way home tonight, I need a little lamplight
your gonna take a different man home with you tonight, I know you need comfort
besides, if you don't love me, thats better, I wouldn't want to leave this all unsettled again
i haven't been this close to death in a long time, so leave us be now

Simple Folk
03:26
|
|||
|
I know some real simple folk
they carry your yolk
and they never took it as no joke
and they gave me some hope
and the fire burned like thick smoke,
but they never got choked out
hanged onto your rope
and the words that you spoke
I can write you this song
or I can sing you this tune
I can go play along with it all
or pray in my room
but Lord what I really need is a change of the heart.

Mercy and Forgiveness
05:16
|
|||
|
I need a little light, its been growing dark
I need some more sight, I've been losing heart
or is that the old liquor in me
I need some more fight
I've been growing weak
I need a new voice
I can barely speak
oh Lord won't you speak through me
cause you thought
you got
so far
but you've barely taken a step
oh Lord I need you more than ever, this serpent is so clever
but if you don't want me then I guess I don't stand a chance
but I was hoping we were pursuing the old sacred romance
Like every step though I stumble its all been part of the dance
like all my life
was leading to this
I get on my knees
and pray for heavenly bliss
like all my life
was leading to this
oh I get on my knees
and pray for heavenly bliss
oh heavenly bliss
a holy kiss
I don't deserve this
Mercy and forgive this
( Thank you Lord that through your grace you give it)
