Holding Pattern

This holding pattern is holding me again
Can’t get this place I’m in
The past, the present, the inbetween
When all I want is in front of me
When all I want is reality
Tell me a lie
Stay with me tonight
May tomorrow never come
When all I want to do
Is bury the truth
But I’m stuck
Unless
Oh this holding pattern is holding me again
Stop me if I say the same old shit
Round and round and round and round and round we go
I don’t want to stop
Cause then I’ll know
I’m not just dizzy
This is my reality
This is my reality
Oh ya this is my reality

I slept in a valley, lush and green
Outside it was desert, harsh and mean
I knew all the seasons
Fall winter summer spring
In my Blue Mountains
Sing to me Blue Mountains
Sing to me once again
Oh yes just sing to me Blue Mountains
Sing to me once again
Now I find myself in the city
Wind blew me east
Trying to make this home
Figure out what that means
You see it’s just all of this pavement’s all filled up with memories
Left mine back home
So won’t you sing to me Blue Mountains
Sing to me once again
Oh yes just sing to me Blue Mountains
Sing to me once again
Oh now I’m gone away while my heart stays
Wrapped in your valley
Till the day when I can say
I’m home again oh
I’m home again
I live in a dream now
I find reality in my sleep
Looking for Blue Mountains
I like to think that they’re looking for me
Won’t you sing to me Blue Mountains
Sing to me once again
Yes just sing to me Blue Mountains
Sing to me once again
Oh yes just sing to me Blue Mountains
Sing to me once again

Shoot me down
Go on break my heart
Tell me that you wish this love, it never would’ve start
Tell me lies with those deceptive eyes
Why won’t you let me hold your truth just for tonight
Because I think you should know you’ll never scare me away
Ya I think you should know that I’m here to stay
You’re a part of me
You’re the start of me
And together we will meet our end
As lovers, enemies and friends
Ya we’re lovers, enemies
I know it’s hurting you
That you’re hurting me
I know cause when I break you down I feel the same damn thing
So just save your words
Save your apologies
Oh ya I may need to borrow one
And you just may need one from me
Oh I think you should know
Oh no you’ll never scare me away
I think you should know that I’m here to stay
You’re a part of me
You’re the start of me
And together we will meet our end
As lovers, enemies and friends
Ya we’re lovers, enemies and friends
I know that you’re the silent soldier
You know I’m the talking king
Well maybe we can find the middle
I’ll look for you
Won’t you look for me
Look for me
You’re the start of me
You’re a part of me
And together we will meet our end
As lovers, enemies and friends
Ya we’re lovers, enemies
We’re just lovers, lovers, enemies
Don’t you know we’re just lovers
Lovers, enemies
Lovers, enemies and friends

Bittersweet

I thought I’d turned the corner, left it all behind
But I can’t help from looking back
Can’t take my eyes away from something so awful
Like stopping at the scene of a crash
But it ain’t all bad you know the life that I have
Well it’s aging like a fine, fine wine
It ain’t orthodox, no life’s a paradox
Can’t find those guiding lines
But I’ll keep on pressing on
Cause I know, it won’t be long
Now I’m just plucking petals off of a daisy
Saying life loves me, she loves me not
It’s a little of both it ain’t one or the other
Like a fever feeling cold when I’m just hot
Well hate and love they’re walking hand in hand
You know I can’t get that good without some of that bad
No they’re partners in crime, it’s the darkness and light
Even the best of times feel like a fight
But I’ll keep on pressing on
Because I know, it won’t be long
Cause with the good comes the bad and all that I have
It all starts to slip away
Well in with the new to put a smile on my face
But I can’t get rid of that sour taste
No, I’m finding out what it means to be bittersweet
Bittersweet
With the good comes the bad and all that I have
It all starts to slip away
Well in with the new to put a smile on my face
But I can’t get rid of that sour taste
No, I’m finding out what it means to be bittersweet
Ya I’m finding out what it means to be bittersweet
Don’t you know I’m finding out what it means to be bittersweet

Everything At Once
04:53

Don’t get me too high
Don’t swing me so low
Why you going so fast?
Dragging me too slow
I wanna be with you
Why you trying to run me?
When all that I don’t want
Is exactly what I need
All the ways is how I want it
Everything at once
The highs, the lows, the fasts and slows
When the sickness is the cure
Promises mean nothing
When riches leave you poor
Less will give you more
When all I want is nothing
When everything’s not as it seems
Silence screaming something
What does it all mean?
All’s not as it seems
I once knew a man
Whose plans were so grand
They were bound to let him down
Lying broken on the ground
Well dreams may come true
As they often sometimes do
But it’s never how you dreamed
Let em through
Let it be
All the ways is how I want it
Everything at once
The highs, the lows, the fasts and slows
When the sickness is the cure
Promises mean nothing
When riches leave you poor
Less will give you more
When all I want is nothing
When everything’s not as it seems
Silence screaming something
What does it all mean?
All’s not as it seems
All the ways is how I want it
Everything at once
The highs, the lows, the fasts and slows
When the sickness is the cure
Promises mean nothing
When riches leave you poor
Less will give you more
When all I want is nothing
When everything’s not as it seems
Silence screaming something
What does it all mean?
All’s not as it seems

Start Anew

They say, “How you doing? How ya been?”
And I’m not even sure where to begin
She left me for dead by the side of the road
No maps, no clues, no idea where the hell to go
Where to go
This is how to be happy with a broken heart
When you don’t even know the best place to start
When she’s pulled you through and you don’t know what you to do
You just start anew
Start anew
Start anew
It’s been four long, hard weeks since I last heard from you
I’ve been up I’ve been down I’ve been everywhere in between too
Oh no but you wouldn’t know, no you don’t even care
So on my sleeve my heart will just a scar I bare
This is how to be happy with a broken heart
When you don’t even know the best place to start
When she’s pulled you through and you don’t know what you to do
No you just start anew
Start anew
This is how to be happy with a broken heart
When you don’t even know the best place to start
When she’s come and pulled you through and you don’t know what you to do
Oh no you just start anew
Start anew
They say, “How you doing? How ya been?”

Lies and Truth

Late night call
Couple of beers
My tongues untied
Just a hint of fear
Loose enough to call it like I see
Life’s convoluted, what does it all mean?
What does it all mean?
Here the roads cross
Time to choose your way
How can you change everything and feel exactly the same?
Love, she’s a goddamn bitch
You’re scratching at the surface but you can’t reach the itch
You try to kill the pain
Well maybe it’s supposed to stay
So you run to the end of the line
And once your there I think you’ll find
What you’re running from is what you’re running to
All alone with you lies
Lies and truth
I can feel you hiding behind those walls
cAnd ss the truth leaks in they’re starting to fall
Why you scared?
Can’t get much worse
It ain’t that bad
Go and find a cure
Only you can know
Just how far you’ve left go
So you run to the end of the line
And once your there I think you’ll find
What you’re running from is what you’re running to
All alone with you lies
Lies and truth
-Break-
So you run to the end of the line
And once your there I think you’ll find
What you’re running from is what you’re running to
All alone with you lies
Lies and truth

Move Along

I’ve been searching for her love too long
Looking so hard I lost track and now the rest is all gone
Now even if I find her it will be at what cost
So much has slipped away and left me feeling lost
Now I’m starting to see oh maybe it’s me
And her kind of love is just not what I need
I can’t seem to let it go
Convince myself to really know she’s gone
So everyone I ever meet leaves me feeling incomplete
What is wrong
I’m searching for the right thing in all the wrong ways
Time to move along
Move along
Now I’m trying to fit a square peg in a round hole
Ya I’m rhyming with silver that killer she’s taken her toll
Oh I know I ain’t much
But it’s that I’ve got
That’s for better or worse
Like it or not
Oh ya this is me and I’m trying to let go
It all happened so fast but the pain, the pain moves slow
Up and down, day by day
It never really goes away
I can feel her in the fog
In my head then she’s gone
But never for too long
No I’m searching for the right thing in all the wrong ways
Time to move along
Move along

Wandering, and I’m wandering been wandering for days
Wondering, and I’m wondering just how it’s gonna be
You see it’s been too long
Lately it’s just all gone wrong
I don’t know what to believe
It’s never been so easy
For me to feel so free
Is this how it’s supposed to be?
Is this how it’s supposed to be?
I’m starting and stopping, and I’m flailing and flopping
Trying to make out the real crimes
Like where do I go, what do I even know?
Well I’m just searching the darkness for some light
I don’t expect to hear the answers come in clear, no
But that’s not why I ask
It’s just so hard to believe
That it could be so easy
For me to feel so free
Is this how it’s supposed to be?
Is this how it’s supposed to be?
It’s coming on slow
But starting to show
One day soon I’m gonna be fine
I’m rising from the dead, getting ahead
Coming on back to life
You see it’s been so hard holding this broken heart
But I’m picking up the pieces part by part
And I’ve gotta believe
In what’s in front of me
Woke up from a dream had myself a scream
A drink, a think, goodbye
I tried to shake the sleep but I couldn’t even see
It wasn’t there for me the whole time
So why’d I hesitate?
Sometimes it takes the wait for the weight to be left behind
It’s just so hard to believe
It’s finally coming on easy
No but nothing ever comes for free
Oh yeah you gotta believe
You know I gotta believe
It’s coming on slow
But starting to show
One day soon I’m gonna be fine
I’m rising from the dead, getting ahead
Coming on back to life
You see it’s been so hard holding this broken heart
But I’m picking up the pieces part by part
And I’ve gotta believe
In what’s in front of me

Cigarettes and marijuana
Hit the road and I’m a goner
This holding pattern is holding me too long
The devil well she held me tight
Through a long, cold, lonely night
She’s had me feeling every shade of blue
But the daylight’s come
It’s time to change my tune
I ain’t changed much, but I’m not the same
No I’m dug down deeper in my own way
She’s made me see all I believe
It’s all I need
Love, hope, peace
I came in screaming like being born
And it almost killed me left me broken, torn
Love never leaves as easy as it came
And all those things that are in between
Everything I thought I’d need
Maybe they’re best left as memories
I ain’t changed much, but I’m not the same
No I’m dug down deeper in my own way
She’s made me see all I believe
It’s all I need
Love, hope, peace
Cigarettes and marijuana
Hit the road, I’m a goner
This holding pattern is holding me too long
It’s time I hit the road, it’s time for me to get gone
Gone
