A Name

The box is packed and you're so far away
Distant like we've been for many days
That last goodbye, that one last hard embrace
So hard in that light to see the tears on your face
It wasn't anybody's fault and it was everyone to blame
Some place along the line, things just weren't the same
So fifteen years from now, tell me, will I just be a name
The long ride home and the songs on the radio
Just reinforced what you and I already know
The circumstances weighed too heavy for all of this
We must part now because that's just the way it is
It wasn't anybody's fault and it was everyone to blame
I find it hard to realize now I am just a name
In a world, a life apart, I'd love you all the same
Goodbye goodbye, I'll never forget you
Goodbye goodbye, forget me, don't forget me and you

You wanna talk about love? You better talk to me
Cuz I ain't got time for your sympathy
You say you wantin all the answers to your questions
You say you want a quick romance? Well I ain't the one
You can't hide from the passion, you can't run from the pain
I don't have time to lose you and try to win you back again
Go beg for someone else cuz I don't give a damn about you
You think you know about pride? Don't know a thing about it
Don't want to hear your promise, no no I won't allow it
You think you know about me? Well girl you better think twice
Cuz I've learned that ladies are more than sugar and spice, yeah
You can't hide from the passion, you can't run from the pain
I don't have time to lose you and try to win you back again
Just keep all your secrets cuz my mind's all I got to lose
You can't hide from the passion, you can't run from the pain
I don't have time to lose you and try to win you back again
Just keep all your secrets cuz I don't give a damn about 'em
(song written by Shane Padilla and Jak Locke)

Ten Lies Wrapped In Gold

This feeling that I got completes my soul
Cuz all it takes is a look and I am whole
I can't mistake what I can't forsake
My love is a gift, not an obligation that I make
The memories that we have are so sweet
I think of them constantly, began from the day we did meet
I can't mistake what I can't forsake
My love is a gift, not an obligation that I make
I know what you want, I know what you need
Every word that you say is a song to my heart
But when we're not together it tears me all apart
I can't mistake what I can't forsake
My love is a gift, not an obligation that I make
My love is a gift, not an obligation that I make

I seen light, thank the gods and tell them they were right
Thrown afar, knowledge leaves a permanent scar
You never saw what was come to you
A final farewell and a wave that seems so new
A feeling wasted, a manufactured soul
Said and done and you just play your role
Held astray, the journey back a year maybe a day
Far too late a paradox to try anticipate
She never saw what was come to you
A final farewell and a wave that seems so new
A future wasted, a lifetime mutated
Some crazy fate writes what you will have stated
You never know what's in store for you
A final farewell and a wave that seemed so new
I'm feeling wasted, I'm a manufactured soul
Said and done and you just pay your toll

Downin my coffee like there's no tomorrow
Sittin in a joint with the temporary sorrow
Semaphore lover in my distant past
Smokin joes takin blows to my fixated ass
Hippie lifestyle callin both my names
Chain smokin chasers with no one to blame
Tablecloth's messin with my black ink flow
Like the watery coffee and the ashtray low
Givin my lemons to my drummer's girl
Thinkin of my seventeen different worlds
Tall blonde waitress with the paycheck blues
Fightin back time on a midnight cruise
Two stone losers on my friendship list
When you find love they get all pissed
Example of timing evident at the diner
One-time shot on the laid-off headliner
Workin class stiffs two tables away
Livin for the paycheck and never for the day
It's a shame for a person to be so stuck
My future's playin songs in the back of a truck
Throwin out numbers of the local bars
Phone book junkies who don't wanna be stars
Stars are too common and come out too soon
I make my wishes on a bright blue moon

Working Man's Dirge
03:38

Spend your life for the powers that say they be
"I ain't never worked for nothing see"
Now that's all of which that we're aware
Sucked into the great American nightmare
Life ain't nothin but a paycheck in your hand
From your sweat to the bank to the government man
Start young and foolish, end up old and poor
The utility tax man knocks on your broke down door
Childhood memories, hope that you enjoyed them
Lookin for a job, you just pick your poison
Blue collar sap, white collar ambitions
He don't have no chance but just to take what they're dishin out to him
Class structure shining as it has for years
Kept nice and shiny by the working man's tears
Cut the middle rungs out the corporate ladder
Working man, good luck, cuz to them you don't matter anyway
Working man, good luck, cuz to them you don't matter anyway
Working man, good luck, cuz to them you don't matter anyway

While my love is sleeping stars shine brightly above
Lamp glows golden for hours I spend here with my love
Lights dimmed outside my window
The shadows dispersed at the song
My love lies quietly resting
To hear it could not be too long
While my love is sleeping stars shine brightly above
Lamp glows golden for hours I spend here with my love
