Anyone But You

Lived through an ice age with a charlatan
Climbed down from a mountain of pain
Swam through an ocean of legalese and regret
Walked through a desert of innocence
and fell down, to get back up again
Dug a hole just to climb in and get lost
To anyone but you
Anyone but you
Anyone but you...
Ran to a corner to shut it down
My mind, slithered half a life away
And took a nap while it waited for me
To anyone but you...
I'm drinking water I promised myself
That I would never let one in again
No one ever gets to see no more
Crawled to edge to take a look
And jumped hoping to land on something soft
There was never anyone to catch me..
Anyone but you...

Raise The Kids

It's just a thought that you may not be fully here
The smallest struggle and you F'n disappear
Back to a time when you were just a little girl
My gawd there's something wrong with you
Curled up in a little ball
You shut your mind when I try to call
Out to you but you're not really at home
I guess I'll have to raise the kids by myself
The other day I caught you drinking again
Washing down your prescription drugs with tonic and gin
Making love to your damage like an angel prays at Jesus' feet
You hide your face into your hands
You're running out of loyal fans
And your not as pretty as you were before
I guess I'll have to raise the kids by myself
The smallest hint of epiphany
When you realize that it wasn't me
doesn't stand a f'n chance in that mind
I guess I'll have to raise the kids by myself
Walking out on everything that you know
(say goodbye)

Pain Killer

The way your body makes me ache
I can hardly breathe
Touching echoes of warm filled moments
Resonate still in me
Better calm down
Better calm down
Surrender
Doctor tell me what can I do?
To make it all ok
She said; "open wide and be in awe,
Close your eyes for me"
Chorus
(bridge)
Painkiller come to me
And set my body free
The pain is deeper than you know
If I could taste you just one more time
I could be alright
Doctor tell what can I do
To take you home tonight?
Chorus

Crash

So...
Someone disappeared
And left you here to care for
The souvenirs
Lost
Alone and emptied out
And it breaks my heart to see you
Shuffle by
Do you ever wonder why
I am always here
When the world is crashing down?
Now
We are just a dream
That is conjured each and every day
By me
Hands
Touching in the car
Is in contrast to my fists
Pounding on the wheel
Do you ever wonder why
I am always here
When the world is crashing down?
Did you ever stop to think you might need me here
When the world is crashing down?
Do you ever wonder why
I am always here
When the world is crashing down?
Did you ever stop to think
That I might need you here
When the world is crashing down?
Do you wonder why
I am always here with you?

Come on darlin'n
Talk to me...
