1. Aftermath
Gotta go to the show
But you got me locked up in a cage
Gotta gun pointed at my head
And you think I'm a killer
I warned you about those crazy people
Who try to make you believe what they say
Gotta run down hotel
Gotta broken down van
Made it down to Louisiana
Feeling fine in Austin
We were feeling good on a Saturday night
It was loud and heavy at the Stoner Hands
It's a beautiful feeling you know I can't let you go
We're a long, long way, we're a long way from home
Riding through the valley on a sunny day
Through the cool mountains and the moonlit sky
Like a wild spirit living in the breeze
It's a dark and lonely road tonight
2. Old-Fashioned Spirit
I remember yesterday's warm smile
And loving embrace
I don't care what you do with your life
As long as you live it right
Lord knows what we could do
If we just give a little love
I know it's been a long rough life
But we're gonna see this one through
I don't need to fight you to survive
I'll just crawl deep inside your mind
Bring me back some old-fashioned spirit
When you're knockin' at my door
Do you feel like you've been here before?
3. Keep You Well
I saw an old mother grieving
And wondered if she held her pain long
How could one be so sorrowful
And I wondered if she'd ever let go
Far from destitute and complaint
Remember how I walked alive
Endless seasons slipped right
Through my grasp
But everything must surely die
In a solemn moment of silence
As she bowed her head down low
And she prayed for life yet to come
As she guarded all her dead
How I worked hard to keep you happy
How I tried to keep you well
But you never returned my kindness
Now we're all hurting deep inside
4. Inside The Voice Of Truth
Don't know where you came from
Don't even care
It's clear to me now
That you're not really there
Seen it all before
Misguided mind
Looking for a solution
And running out of time
I know why you lie
To pacify your troubled mind
I see you standing with your head
In the clouds
But you're wasting time
Don't you keep on running from yourself
Bad habits you keep
You know all too well
Seen it all along
You're playing this evil game
I'm trying to tell you child
That you're to blame
I know why you hide
Behind a wall of fear inside
Your spirit is aching
Dying to live
And you're wasting time
Not gonna let it happen this time
You gotta learn for yourself
Drifting farther away from the meaning
Your life is beginning to be lived
5. First Born
There's no use singing the blues
When you know you're gonna lose every time
All this pain you've built up inside
Only just to hide your love
Life is short so breathe deep
This world is not yours to keep
You're only holding on
You are what you are
And you'll never change
And that's all right
You need a drink to calm your nerves
When life throws you a demon curve
How long will your memories last?
Got a heart of broken glass
You need what you greed
And you'll succeed
I know you will
Go on and walk through the fire
Your only love is a burning desire
Going back into the ground
To harvest my spirit
Gonna grow with a ray of sun
From the first morning light
6. Endless Sea
I can see what you're going through
This part of is a part of you
Just be glad you've had half a chance
Don't look back it's not worth a second glance
I would die for you
I would fly to the ends of the earth
Maybe it doesn't mean that much to you
But it means the world to me
You've worked hard & you've come so far
With perseverance it shows who you really are
You've got time for all the hate you greed
But you haven't got time for the live that you need
I've been to the endless sea
I've cried for your deep blue dream
I've touched the bottom of the sky
Just to find and burn the lies of humanity
I was born on the dark side of the world
And I walk in the cool moonlight
Don't you count me out
When you know we're all going to lose
7. Gift Of Life
I was born to be free
One heart so gracious
It must be the love inside me
That keeps your demon in its cage
You gotta give a little
Get up and go
Because love is a precious gift
Sleeping, crawling, restless inside
For many years I've cried
You can't reverse the damage
To a world that's already dead
You gotta live a little
Get outside
Because your life is a precious gift
Living life so long can't give it up now
Just need my world so I can grow
Wrap my roots around you you're so fine
Feel the dirt we're way deep inside
8. Dejamnesia/Out Of A Dream
Been living in the middle for so long
But you know I can't choose sides
Simplify my goals
With wide eyes
Evil disguising beauty
On a dying cell
This lesson we call life
Is a living hell
Portrait of fears, chaos......
A man's ruin unforeseen
Reoccurring memories from an
Ancient world
As I step out of a dream
As we dance in the shadows
The answer is clear
Hold on to your spirit
Your freedom is near
9. Angry River
There was once a sacred life here
To all the things you hold dear
You are what you dream
It doesn't seem that way anymore
In a one way ride
To a place called nowhere
You can taste the sunrise
With an evening's kiss
When the confusion settles in
You might begin to lose control
Why don't you open your eyes
And realize
You've got to grow, move your mind
God has given you a life
You misuse and abuse
All of the answers are inside
Just search within yourself, don't
Waste time
In a one way ride
To a place called nowhere
Riding with the dawn
There must be a way out
10. Thousand Vision Mist
Dream away beautiful day
I just want to see the sunlight
As it shines upon your face
There has never been a promise
That you'll make it on time
But when your love is strong
You've already left them behind
And though you'd never listen
You knew my love would grow
You don't know what you're missing
In this life
I've had this vision
For a long, long time
Or maybe just a dark place
In my mind
You've got to keep yourself alive
Let love inside
Don't let this world tear us apart
It's like a cosmic trigger
A thousand vision mist
As your spirit rises
Your future life is blessed
And all your life is a struggle
With open heart it bleeds life
You've got to make your own way
Just to get it right
So hold on to your dream
Don't let it go
This is a life you can't resist
We're riding on a thousand vision mist
11. Never Dead
Doesn't matter what you say
Only matters what you do
Don't you start no trouble
Around here
Or your time just might be through
Don't it feel good to be alive
With your head on straight
All the miracles you know they're
Running out
For those who learn too late
Upheaval of emotion
This is no trial by fire
I speak of true devotion
With a relentless desire
I'm dreaming on a broken wing
Flying to the sun
And I know if I get too close
I'm gonna turn right around and run
It's all in your head
I never said I was dead
You try to hold me down
But you're losing precious ground
I thank God I've got all my friends
We're gonna sit here and watch
The world burn until the very end
It's all in your mind
No time to unwind
Never true to yourself
A life of wasted health
12. Sacred Life
