Time Can't Be Wasted

When you talk to me
I sounds like a mountain town
But you’re not around
When you smile at me
I stammer and look up and down
And I hear you frown
Because time can’t be wasted
In a conceit like ours
And the mystique of aging
Has been warned
When the mountains die
And the leaves are all dead and gone
It don’t take long
When the trumpets lie
And nothing worth playing is found
What an awful sound
Because time can’t be wasted
In a conceit like ours
And the mystique of aging
Has been warned
When you laugh at me
I shiver till you leave the room
No longer next to you
Because time can’t be wasted
In a conceit like ours
And the mystique of aging
Has been warned

Satisfy Biblical relations
Another copy of a replication
There is time to be here now
There is time to be free
I am my ego brain
You were born to be strange
Nobody ever remembers
A father who would accept surrender
Channel surf to your hearts desire
Won’t get your money back when you retire
There is time to be here now
There is time to be free
But I am my ego brain
And you were born to be strange
It all happens when you quit
Pretending to be so perfect
A man with no country blues
Has no reason to watch the news
Trivial sound bites in your ear
Tellin’ you to live in fear
I am my ego brain
We’re all born to be strange
There is time to be here now
There is time to be free

Leaving
04:31

Deliver my body all covered in blood
Deliver me to the one that I love
I want her to breathe in my last breath of air
I want her to hold me even though she don't care
Oh, darling comfort me
As I leave your world
Don't tell me your secrets, I do not care
Don't give me forgiveness, cause I am not scared
I fought in your battles and retold your lies
I've betrayed my instincts a thousand times
Oh, darling comfort me
From your merciless world
This is all I leave to you
A pile of flesh and bones

Last Escape
03:06

Riding home from Buffalo
Won’t stop in Ohio
Speeding through the flatlands again
Getting closer all the time
But it’s just more dotted lines
And brake lights bleeding
Driving through mountain roads
Brain is squirming like a toad
In a sink that’s draining
Going somewhere in rewind
Another cycle stuck in time
A shadow that’s spinning
I am lost in the last escape
I cannot see what is taking shape
Like an endangered animal
That turns into a cannibal

Lilting Spirit

Impoverished by my innocence
Distracted by your song
I watched your lilting spirit
Disappear with the dawn
Mistakes of yesterday
Brought us the limits of right now
Words you wish you hadn’t said
All make sense to me somehow
Along the crooked highway
Billboards read the same
They steal your confidence
And make you feel ashamed
Don’t feel ashamed
Don’t feel ashamed
I pointed at an open space
In some random direction
I headed there until I got stuck
At this intersection
All these words that I’ve mumbled
And these sentences I’ve dissected
Tried to get my story published
But I got rejected
Along the crooked highway
Billboards read the same
They steal your confidence
And make you feel ashamed
Don’t feel ashamed
Don’t feel ashamed
So I’ve wiped away my memories
And cleansed my mind with bleach
And now I can’t remember
Who it is I’m trying to reach
Along the crooked highway
Billboards read the same
They steal your confidence
And make you feel ashamed
Don’t feel ashamed
Don’t feel ashamed
