Nobody Cares

I guess I'm having a hard time
Coming to terms with the fact
That nobody cares about what I do
I make my way to the kitchen
And my heart is like a fan
Where every blade
Cuts right through you

And I see the man that I want to be
And he's lying on the floor
He says, "It don't matter.
I'm not gonna try any more.
And if words don't mean that much to you,
What the hell are you looking for?"
I got no clue

Yesterday is all over and tomorrow's not around
And today is a bore
I'm so lazy
I take the long way home
And my heart is like a cloud that floats away
In the breeze

And I see the man that I used to be
Driving in a passing car
He says, "It don't matter.
You never would have gone very far.
And if words don't mean that much to you,
What the hell are you looking for?"
I got no clue

I see the man that I want to be
He's walking down the road
He says, "It don't matter.
You're never gonna shake off that load.
And if words don't mean that much to you,
What the hell are you looking for?"
I got no clue

Dig A Little Deeper

Dig A Little Deeper

When I'm alone I reminisce
And carry on conversations
With myself
I need a friend to ease my mind
And to assure me that life
Only gets better from here

Got to dig a little deeper
Got to keep on going

Take the word and make it yours
Nail your convictions to the door
Of the church house downtown
I'm rarely right but what is wrong
With wanting somewhere to belong
I'm not afraid to speak my mind

Got to dig a little deeper
Got to keep on going

And they say ask and you will receive
If you ask for the right things
There's a door that's opening
Where it leads is a mystery

Cold, Cold World

I'm trying to get more serious about songwriting, and the only way I know how to do that it to be serious about writing songs. Makes sense, right?

Cold, Cold World

Up in the morning when the light hits my face
I can't remember how I got in this place
The blanket's warm and the shadows are long
The window's open and the fire has burned out

I wash my hands to forget what I did
The night is easy, but nothing good ever is
I lost my faith in the bright colored lights of the city
And she never learned my name

You'll get up and get out of here
If you know what's good for you

Walking down Broad in the middle of the night
So many people with an empty look in their eyes
I get the feeling that they're feeling like me
But all I can think is I got nothing to tell them

You'll get up and get out of here
If you know what's good for you

It's a cold, cold world we're living in
Where it's so damn hard to find a friend

It's All Wrong

Life began with greater hopes
Then you found me lying on the floor
In a room painted black
With sheets over the windows
This is the hand that I've been dealt
And I can't change it any more
Than the Earth can change its course around the sun
Or the moon can change its color

I will walk along this road
And I will sing a sad song
All I've ever really known
Is it's all wrong

I was told when I was young
That if I never did no wrong
That the Lord up in Heaven would make sure
I was never left alone
He's been waiting twenty years
For me to return
But it's hard to find a way back home
When every bridge I crossed has burned

I will walk along my road
And I will sing a sad song
All I've ever really known
Is it's all wrong

Another bottle in a bag
Another night under the stars
When my past comes back to me
I stick a needle in my arm
There's a pain I can't forget
It took me far from my home
I'll fall asleep beside the fire
It keeps me warm when I'm alone

I will walk along this road
And I will sing a sad song
All I've ever really known
Is I'm all wrong

When It Falls Down

When It Falls Down

I've never been known as a fool
But I've been known for being wrong
I really need to let you know
I've loved you all along

When the darkness closes in
And the light hides from my face
Would you remind me once again
You're my joy in this place

When it all falls down
Will you still lay down
Right beside me?

I'm not good at very much
I'm no master of a trade
But I can give you all the love
That I can make

I've never seen too far ahead
But I see too well behind
And all I really need to see
Is that you are mine

When it all falls down
Will you still lay down
right beside me?

When it all comes down
Will you lay in the ground
Right beside me?
