The Four Fifteen

We are strangers to these streets
With our heads bowed at our feet
Blistered by the pavement, the summer heat
Still feels cold
It’s been so long now, though it seems,
like yesterday when our dreams
Crumbled down the mountain
The summer breeze
Carried us home
Lets leave now
We’ve got time to make the four fifteen
Lets leave now
We can land on our feet again
No one even knows us here today
The truth will rise, find its own way
Eventually if we stay
Our cover will blow
There’s no more time to think
About the little things that went wrong
Just get on board, be quick
And don’t forget now where you’re from

Get Out Now

Feeling like nothing ever happens in the end
Dealing with feelings that don’t feel like your friend
Where’s your friends?
Digging holes big enough to jump in
That barely leaves your head above ground
Digging holes big enough to jump in
It’s time for you to get out now
Reeling, like you’ve never reeled before
Bleeding, you’re bleeding like a casualty of war
You’re blown away
I will tell you something to eliminate your fear
One day you will wake up new and make it out of here

Come Down

Take me by the hand
Let me lead you from this place we’re in
Like a city built from sand
With the water rising we can’t win
To truly understand
For a mile try walking in these shoes
There’s beauty up ahead
If we can make it, we can’t lose
So let’s just take a moment here
Let’s just take a moment here alright
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Take a break from the top of the world
Come down
The sky is leaking, black
I thought we lived here in the sunshine state
How can we live like that?
More give, less take

The Outside

He took a bite but he wasn’t thinking
He used his time inside to think things through, to renew
He read a book inside for the first time
Never really pushed his poor IQ
He did that too
Everyday he was breaking out
Scaling the razor wire
Without an inch of doubt he broke through
Free to the outside
He got out just in time for the weekend
Forgot about the friends he once knew
If only they did too
He was shot in the back on a Tuesday
Looking up to a sky of blanket blue
He smiled, he knew

The New Day

I don’t know why I feel this way
I’m stuck in this place, I don’t know what to say
When you ask me why I feel this way
With a smile on my face “Everything’s ok”
The morning will come
Tomorrow will be here soon
The morning will come
Tomorrow will be here soon
Please hang on for the new day
I keep to myself
Alone all the time
I think to myself it’s safer to hide away from the world
Away from my wife
That I haven’t yet met, for I’m too bloody shy
In the here and now
We still save a seat for you
It’s different now
But we still expect a knock upon the door

Home

Take this time as the only time you have
Lift your disguise, still hiding but no good at that
Looking back over your shoulder you should have known
Every word you said out of line cut right to the bone
You’re so used to getting your way
It’s not too late to turn your back on this town
And come home
I think your folks were right
You’re great at turning good to bad
You light these fires but they burn out
Did you know that?
You tend to get carried away
You fall to the ground
Maybe you’re a better person with no one around
I know you well
We get on famously
I know you well
But it’s not meant to be
Have you ever thought of packing your bags up
and leaving town?
The good life is lost and waiting to be found
I really do think that a break will be great for you
And every single person around you will benefit too
