Try

The devil's in the details, that's what the old folks say
And they may not believe you, but they're lost anyway
The last time you were running, I was there by your side
This time ain't no different and I'll match every stride
You know I try, you know I try
'Cause all those dreams you hold inside you
You know they won't lead you astray
You're sick of coming and going, feeling like you've been used
You're sick of everybody that's talkin' but none of them are tellin' the truth
You know they lie, you know they lie
Those dreams we had they said were crazy
But now they'll be the tie that binds
You know we tried

No Direction

Rain keeps falling, floodwater's rising at my door
Rain keeps falling, floodwater's rising at my door
Gonna keep my head above the water, 'til I can't breathe no more
I ain't got no direction, I feel like a ship that's lost at sea
Ain't got no direction, I feel like a ship that's lost at sea
Ain't no shore in my sight, or searchlights reaching out to me
Bells are rollin', I feel my end is surely nigh
Bells are rollin', I feel my end is surely nigh
But I'll walk into that darkness with my head held high
Rain keep falling, floodwater's rising at my door
Rain keep a-falling, floodwater's rising at my door
Gonna keep my head above the water, 'til I can't breathe no more

Avalanche

Given time these walls are bound to cave in on us all
I've been in line, but my savior still ain't found my name to call
Each of us has a burden that we must carry
But when the avalanche comes, I won't be buried
When you blaze a path for those with passion in their soul
And run the risk of learning things you were never meant to know
Walking through the unknown, each step is scary
But when the avalanche comes, I won't be buried
It falls away and there's a chance it never will return
Another day no telling if there's fire left to burn
The road is long, talk is cheap, and my mind is weary
But when the avalanche comes, I won't be buried
Yeah when the avalanche comes, I won't be buried

Wait So Long

There's a change in the wind now, honey
And I don't know what went wrong
But so long you've kept me waiting
This time it's way too long
My friends, they tell me it just ain't healthy
To spend every night by the phone
So I think I'll take my chances
Down in San Antone
I've been drinking and I've been crying
And it just don't seem right
So now I'm changing and rearranging
I think it's time to put up a fight
There's a change in the wind now, honey
And I don't know what went wrong
But so long you've kept me waiting
This time it's way too long
I've been drinking and I've been crying
And it just don't seem right
So now I'm changing and rearranging
I think it's time to put up a fight
My friends, they tell me it just ain't healthy
To spend every night by the phone
So I think I'll take my chances
Down in San Antone

Speak the Night

I've been searching for the light
I've been learning to speak the night
I've been fearing for us all
I've been hearing the voices call
And I long to feel the thunder
As I long, the lightning strikes
In this darkness, the world it spins
And in this madness, life begins
There's people trying to survive
I'm just dying to speak the night
And I hope you'll feel the thunder
Yes I hope the lightning strikes
I've been searching for the light
I've been learning to speak the night
I've been fearing for us all
I've been hearing the voices call
And I know you'll feel the thunder
Yes I know the lightning strikes

On the Horizon

There's a man who hangs out down around the truck stop
Says he was a preacher once upon a time
Now he spends his time begging blow off of the street girls
As they call out to the johns and then fade into the night
He says, "Son, you know I ain't complaining
But the times they are a-changing and there's nothing left for me
The world's turned upside-down now
All the thieves and all the liars run the show and we're all going to hell"
Take this fear out of my hands and let me rest awhile
The dark consumes the horizon and my mind constructs denial
A bottle and a few old magazines
We sat and rolled some joints out in the lot next to the fire
Sirens sang us both into a waking sleep
And we sat right there for hours watching everything around us start to dream
I said, "Hey old man, you never tell that story
About the time you were in Gatlinburg and you met JFK
Back then it must have been like meetin' Jesus"
He said, "Boy it goddamn was, but just like Kennedy that memory's gone away"
Take this fear out of my hands and let me rest awhile
The dark consumes the horizon and my mind constructs denial
Tell me, won't you tell me
How to rectify what can't be changed
It feels like every day I'm dying
Feels like every day I'm trying to be somebody I was never meant to be
