- Declarative
Come, wander, I've left my things behind
You know I've emptied ever bottle, but can't seem to swallow my pride
Stay, longer, I heard my mother cry
But don't you know I've tried, I've tried , I've tried, I've tried,
There's no one to sing me to sleep when I sleep in the streets
There's no where to lay down my head when the door ways my bed
- Exclamatory
What praise has he earned?
Your youngest son has turned and fled,
No different from the sheep we’ve led.
As if confronted by the gleaming fangs of wolves who crave his very flesh.
But no such hauntings once befell him.
His body belongs buried in the dirt, Your son never labored over this earth.
With out work, how can a man measure his worth?
Kindly stop this madness father,
- Imperative
Son you've got to come back
Come back to life again
Son you've got to come back
Back to your family
Be that son of mine
I never taught you to beg
To throw your lot with the dead
- Interrogative
Was I ever enough
You were my child of dust
Didn't watch you grow
Was it just too much
My child of dust
That your family drove you from home
Is there comfort when you sleep in the street
Does the dirt sing your name as you go to sleep
- Only From The Ground
Brick by brick, and bone by bone,
I built the body I call my own,
And stick by stick and stone by stone,
My ribs like rafters form my home.
And Oh My body preforms the actions,
But they're not one in the same,
Because our actions don't have faces,
- Picking Pockets
I tried to drive the devils out,
But they weren't having it at all,
I tried to tell them to leave,
But they just make themselves at home,
My ship is sinking in a sea that's filled with all my short comings,
I'm all I didn't want to be,
So you should stay away from me.
- We're All Too Human
I wonder where I'll wander next,
I'm like a bird without a nest,
I'm lost, tangled in regret,
But I tried my best, I tried my best.
Like a song bird you beckoned me in,
You're like a vulture drawn to skin,
My veins are only paper thin,
