I wish I remembered
what I wished I'd remember
I've got nothing to say
screamin and kickin
but my gears are sticking
how can it just slip away?
I'm holding on to everything I've done
like the pages of a novel in my left hand and
trying to keep my love out of reach
so that time never eats all that I have had
footsteps behind are on a piece of thread
tied to the steps ahead
time's a circle
I let it out just to build up again
oh yeah it never ends
I'm a circle

Drive down the country music highway
detour to the family fold
they still play every single Saturday
and you can hear em right outside the door
it wasn't god who made honky tonk angels
but I've never been that close before
tears in the car up the mountain at midnight
and I can still hear the squeal of the floor
start all over from the beginning
right when everything started spinning
making it up as they go along
but I wanna hear that first old song
Bristol scared the shit out of us
the rest of the town seemed to be shit out of luck
that big old speedway it just doesn't seem right
sittin in a tiny chair so high
come round the corner from the one way bridge
there's blood on the crosses up on top of the ridge
and we didn't know what we were getting into
but they sure did have a beautiful view
start all over from the beginning
right when everything started spinning
making it up as we go along
but I wanna hear that first old song

Pullin Teeth

I'm rippin, pullin teeth
you're bleeding over me
upended to say the least
falling out of synchronicity
over and over
don't ask me to find the ground
starting to feel like I'm nowhere bound
I keep waiting for that sound
when that bell is gonna ring out loud
over and over
I'm rollin over again
I got no old skin
empty and full and then
I wanna leave an open end

fell into a box of rain
got tucked and carried away
to home and locked the door
nothing has happened before
so soft and quiet
never been so hushed and mild
stars dancing on the shore
points reaching out
extending far
don't think I've ever been so sore
in shades of purple yellow green and orange
protected by the rain
no I won't be afraid
always all the way
or nothing at all
my points are swallowed by a complex roar
nothing changes but I'm never bored

Take Me Up

elevator in the closet
openin to take me up
pulled a feather from your chin and wondered what it could be of
but I can't get these brakes to stop and I can't get ahold
seems like everything I'm pushing pushes back at me ten fold
can't place it on you
place it on me
face it in the cold
everything you've done leads into everything I know
gravity's heavy and it's pulling me down
I just can't get my feet up off the ground
screamin and yellin I can't make a sound
gravity's heavy and it's pulling me down
I just can't seem to find the way out
screamin and yellin I can't make a sound
gravity's heavy and its pulling me down
fold what's left of my mind and pull it out
gravity's heavy and its pulling me down
everything you've done leads into everything I know
elevator in the closet openin to take me up
pulled a feather from your chin and wondered where it did come from

he said it's gonna be the death of me
I know he is not exaggerating
so why would I do the same old thing
at least I know I get it honest
I get unwound
and wound again
distill you out
and keep me in
but it's gonna be the death of me
oh I know I'm going someday
I wouldn't want you to be the way you used to be
at least I know you got here honest
I couldn't take
you away
you're always in
my dna
he said it's gonna be the death of me
I know he is not exaggerating
and it's gonna be the death of me too
oh I know I'm going somehow
