The Burden of Leaving
It's the burden of leaving
that's a feeling I know
but seeing's believing
there's a time we must go
But the sun it is falling
and the day's almost gone
and the burden of leaving
keeps rolling along
It's the burden of leaving
just a moment in time
but I can't shake that feeling
and there's no use trying
'cause the night it is calling
and the deck has been stacked
with the burden of leaving
and there ain't no turning back
It's the burden of leaving
I'm just biding my time
got me kicking and screaming
and losing my mind
Still I know you are sorry
but what can you do?
when the burden of leaving
comes calling on you
It's the burden of leaving
that's a feeling I know
but seeing's believing
It's time we must go
it's time to let go

Negative Thoughts
Why are you always messing with me?
Why won't you just let me be?
I got to keep on moving
'cause I don't like what you're doing to me
You bring me down
You bring me down
with your negative thoughts
You always show up at the very worst time
Oozing your venom, poison my mind
All that muck and slime you crawl in
still you just keep, you keep on gnawing at me
You bring me down
You bring me down
with your negative thoughts
I got to keep on, keeping on
Pray for the day when you're finally gone
I know the game you're playing
I won't listen to the shit you're saying to me
You bring me down
You bring me down
with your negative thoughts
You bring me down
You bring me down
with your negative thoughts...

What's Wrong With Me?

What's Wrong with Me
The lunatics run the asylum
and love's hiding under my bed
Some crazy fool just threw away my keys
What's wrong with me?
Beauty ran off with the beholder
And I couldn't read between the lines
I haven't heard the word out on the street
What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?
My foolish heart's made a fool out of me
What's wrong with me?
Bridge:
All the freaks are frightened
They bang their heads against the wall
and I'm here hanging like a leaf in the breeze
What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with me?, What's wrong with me?
I got enough, but not enough for me
What's wrong with me
I keep rolling with the punches
Got me wobbly in the knees
Will I be standing at the end of the round?
What's wrong with me?
The world it keeps on turning
and the sun will rise in the east
I keep limping towards my destiny
What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?
Got all this crazy music playing in my head
What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?
I got enough but not enough for me

Trying To Do Right
Trying to do right
but he don't understand
prays every night to Jesus
but he lusts for a man
His daddy says its wrong
and he'll burn up in hell
but the feeling's too strong
where his heart likes to dwell
He keeps falling
But lord knows he tries
He's trying to do right
but he don't understand
Will he resist those feelings
or is the devil at hand
He's trying to do right
but he don't understand
for the wages of sin
is God's curse to man
He keeps falling
But lord knows he tries
He's trying to do right
but he don't understand
Trying to do right...

Sleeveless Heart

Sleeveless Heart
It was a cold gray morning
When he walked out the door
There was nothing more to say
'cause they said it all before
Who was right, who was wrong
Didn't matter
anymore
She's got a sleeveless heart
and ice flows through her veins
When she's alone at night
she listens to the rain
it takes her back to a place and a time
But she don't live there
anymore
Bridge:
While she dreams, her grief softly dances
with shadows that simmer through the night
And the ghosts of forgotten teardrops
break in waves of shimmering light
She's got a heart shaped box
where she keeps all her dreams
she hides it in a drawer
next to her favorite blue jeans
But they don't fit like they used to
so she don't wear them
anymore
She's got a sleeveless heart
and ice flows through her veins
While her days roll on by
She just can't explain
She's still searching for what she lost
But she can't find it
anymore

I'm Walking
Listen to me weep
Right before I go to sleep
I'm walking
I'm walking
I got no place to go
See me a walking
Down this lonesome road
Lord, please help me
Just set me free
I'm walking
I'm walking
Leave my troubles behind
If I don't keep on walking
I believe I'm gonna lose my mind
Please release me
Why can't she see
I'm walking
I'm walking
Why couldn't her love be be true?
Since my baby left me,
Lord I got them walking blues
Since my baby left me,
Lord I got them walking blues...

Mister Nobody
All the clutter of the day
Let it all just melt away
It's nobody
Mister Nobody
Raging battles in your head
toss and turn you in your bed
for nobody
Mister Nobody
and all there is for which it stands
will wash away like grains of sand
it's nobody
Mister Nobody
