Absolute Darkness

Been running 'round,
can't find myself
a piece of ground
to lay the load I carry down
Since I skipped town
to live my life in night
there is no light.
Absolute Darkness all around
There is no light
Absolute Darkness
I'm so alone,
my skin's too tight,
and I just might die
From emptiness

A message in the sky
Brought us here to rub your eyes
And shake your ears awake.
Written in the twinkle of Lucy's diamond light
To arrive on time and rock this town tonight
We ride the lines
Flames! That light your shoulders
Flames! That dig my vibe
Flames! That burn so many miles away at night
There's a rhythm in the way
You clap your hands to common tunes
That we'll use to make you shiver to a groove
And if you'd like to change your mood
And wouldn't mind a little movement
Have a listen to these licks I love to play
We ride the lines
Flames! That light your shoulders
Flames! They'll blow your mind
Flames! That burn so many miles away at night

Beggars are beggin'
and sellers are sellin'
as long as there's something to sell.
The people you meet when you're out on the street
will do you right in, man.
The wide open jaws of hell got teeth so neat
you can't hardly tell by the smell
that you fell right in on top of yourself,
that you're in too deep.
You're losing sleep over life's greatest questions.
Whole lot goin' on out on some kinda' whim.
There's a devil for every last one of ya'
I swear we're all sinking in to the grave already now!
With the dirt piled on,
a little angel singing your song,
and all the time you could ever waste on
finding answers to life's greatest questions.
I've heard some things that prove to be
more than rumor but far less than farfetched conquest.
I know you've been thinking about it too.
Where we all come from,
what's it all about?
Can you hear me shouting loud?
This is where I put my foot down and press into the ground,
there's just got to be more than this!
All this time rubbing on my mind
riding blind on a late night drive down I-95.
Oh my!

Are You Mine?
03:37

So tired of what's been taking place.
Am I waste of space?
Can you stand to see my face?
Who's on your mind when we're not spending time?
You used to love me,
now it seems I'm left behind.
Desired a heart to build a home,
the fire is colder now that I am all alone.
Wasted and reckless, I'm hanging from the phone,
I'd care to call you now
If you mind to hear me moan
Are you mine?
Are you mine?
Jealousy had it's grip in me
when I seen you with the man
now by your side
Are you mine?
Are you mine?
Are you mine?

Half Truths & Lies

I was there
when your worried heart had all it's worth.
Now you call me words I've never heard
before our love took that crooked turn.
It's time we ought to
let a bad thing weather out
Half truths & lies will hide
behind the fool who tries
to make a game out of life
Save it.
I'll save you all the time and
pain that we've been messing with.
Change it.
Your day to day that had you
Lonesome with a hollow view.
Any time you want to,
after all, life's but a dream.
Half truths & lies reside inside
both you and I
don't you think it's time to
say goodbye?
These blues are through the roof
set your pride aside.
That well is dry.

The Deep End
03:12

Never had the time to cry
all of my life's been one dry ride.
I've sat in solitude just to
bend my back and try.
Sweaty palms grip my pride
as my cracked mind
tries not to break.
This line has lost its end in bitter contempt.
So hold on to your friends
Or you're gonna sink
down in the deep end.
Battered hearts bleed green
and cause a scene for someone else.
Just when I started to break free,
my hands were tied tight.
So down I go
to the bottom's low depths
in my head.
Here at the bottom,
I'll grow gills and die anyway.
Well worth the wade
to stay away from the deep end.
Stay away from the deep end.
