Present Tense

Life is for the present tense
A simple bit of circumstance
Could lead you astray
The darkness that you're walking through
Could still be catching up to you
The price that you pay to find your own way
It's just something that you're gonna find out
One day before the bottom drops out
Turn around, take a breath, face it without any doubt
Day to day confusion
In the search for absolution
Is a trick of the light
Looks are still deceiving
So you're better off believing
You can put up a fight
You're bloody well right
It's just something that you're gonna find out
One day before the bottom drops out
Turn around, take a breath, stand on your feet and shout
Face it without any doubt
Cry out
You can't keep moving in the same direction
To find the answers where you least expect them
Find yourself a song to sing
Imprisoned in the suffering
And lift up your voice
The darkness that you're walking through
Can still be what you want it to
So block out the noise and make your own choice
It's just something that you're gonna find out
One day before the bottom drops out
Turn around, take a breath, stand on your feet and shout
Face it without any doubt
Cry out
You can't keep moving in the same direction
To find the answers where you least expect them

So Much For Summer

If I could take us right back to the beginning
Start it all over again
I'd take the ink and the dirt and the blood
Scratch them into my skin
Let these be the terms of our surrender
That cling to our necks like a curse
Everything's forgotten, forgiven, forever
For better or worse
So much for the summer
So much for the lies
So much for all this talk about the best days of our lives
I tried to tell you it's a messed up, mixed up
Misunderstanding my dear
Time to start walking away from the words and the hurt and the tears
I'd say I'm sorry but I'm no good explaing
The sad situation we're in
Maybe all the heartache and hard luck just works itself out in the end
So much for the summer
So much for the truth
So much for the good times
So much for nothing to lose
Can we leave it with a kiss and a promise
Like the way it began
A simple reminder to never come back here again
So much for the summer
So much for the lies
So much for all this talk about the best days of our lives
So much for the summer
So much for the truth
So much for the good times
So much for me and you

Count The Ways

I heard there was a secret chord
I've been searching for all my life
In bonus tracks and discount racks
In between the dark and the light
A soul salvation, sweet liberation
Dancing in the here and now
The one that makes us all seem real somehow
Let the needle fall where it may
Bring us a brighter day
Turn the words into a melody
Heartache into harmony
Let the record play
Count the ways
I heard the promise loud and clear
On a worn out radio
I heard that nothing good comes out
Of a life of rock n' roll
I need a kick drum thumping
A bass line pumping
Guitars cranked up to ten
The only thing that will cure the state we're in
Let the needle fall where it may
Bring us a brighter day
Turn the words into a melody
Heartache into harmony
Let the record play
Count the ways
A space connects, a bridge divides
See you on the other side
Let the needle fall where it may
Bring us a brighter day
Turn the words into a melody
Heartache into harmony
Let the record play
Count the ways
Let the needle fall where it may
Bring us a brighter day
Turn the words into a melody
Heartache into harmony
Let the record play
Count the ways

Bring In The Lefty

I called from the fire escape
"Hey Julie, what do you see?'
I'm your tragic prince, I'm your carnal wish
I'm everything you need
I don't need nothing let me come inside
I don't need nothing let's go for a ride
She said, "why you hanging round here making all that noise?'
With your bad tattoos and your biker boots
Like every other boy
I don't need nothing let me come inside
I don't need nothing let's go for a ride
You'll be the only one for me
Let's be more than just another tragedy
I don't need nothing let me come inside
I don't need nothing let's go for a ride
Twilight skies and we close our eyes
I'm lost in the stratosphere
When the morning breaks we could find ourselves
A million miles away from here
I don't need nothing let me come inside
I don't need nothing let's go for a ride
You'll be the only one for me
Let's be more than just another tragedy

I don't really want to talk about it
Let's figure it out some other time
There's no point I try to contemplate
Unravelling the threads within my mind
I guess there's something wrong with me
Wait around and you'll see
I don't really want to fight about it
Working things out takes energy
A symptom of a system breeding volatile conditions
Becoming my own worst enemy
I guess there's something wrong with me
Wait around and you'll see
I guess there's something wrong with me
Wait around and you'll see
You'll see
