Let Back 03:56
we'll write a book worth reading we'll pass the test no cheating but its the curse of living its always just beginning can you let back? i can float in back... and to my friends and lovers let's get undercovers could we really go there and not end up nowhere to all the new beginnings! to all the screws unspinning!

Come On Let's Go (free) 04:15
i don't even know your name if you wanna go downtown we could start a whole new band we could play our songs around i like to sing come on to the penny arcade we can make the lights flash bright we can make the old bells clang we could run away tonight i like to drive all the mistakes that i made in the name of escaping the fate of my family shame on me for thinking that way i am just like them and i'm okay would you love me anyway maybe when the streets turn red i can finally be free if i got a place down south would you share a bed with me i sleep to dream

Ease My Mind 04:55
she was kinda crazy but then i was just a baby she stung like the bees in her mother's garden she would come on with no warning flashing summer sheets we would lay out in the grass and we'd listen to the sound of the falling leaves she saw what i thought that only i could see her and me could turn the key where's that girl gone i can't find her i've got trouble on my mind o kentucky, o virginia, california ease my mind if you come back in spring there will be flowers in our room and on the window sill candles like a mirror of my stubborn will hollowed out but burning still there's a key under the mat if you happen to come back when i'm asleep i kept all the letters that you wrote to me memorized them easily there's a free wind on the highway whispers soft my holy name there is no place that i'm going to blood i offer is yours to claim a stranger once came to me with a book of hymns in each one i saw your face learned the melodies and then i sang them on my knees to find your hiding place there's a key and there's a map there are whispers on the path so i pack my things just in case i left a little note for thee i'll be back soon, hopefully o my mother, o my sister o my woman, o my child i will go now try to earn you i will leave this rope behind o kentucky, o virginia, california ease my mind

they're gonna tell you, honey all you got to be if you don't care how you fall you can blow off in the breeze out on the high wire, honey is where you got to be when you think you're standing tall they decide to cut your strings i found you i'll eat you alive buy you another gift, another crime wait until your hungry then you'll wanna play around hold that candle high leave this wasted land i won't fall behind turn to salt and sand loosen up that hold you got to get out can't you hear that sound evolution calls! out on the high road, honey where you scrapped your knee cause your heads up to the clouds and you can't get nothin' free all of the rules fly, honey ain't no referee and there's no one keeping score every wall is made of doors hold that candle high leave this wasted land i won't fall behind turn to salt and sand loosen up that hold you got to be brave rise up from that grave evolution calls!

how may times did we open up your mouth and say something you didn't want to say but had to how many times did we open up our eyes and our legs too and see if we could do it again i don't want no one to forget you i'll hide you tears away inside this box i keep in my room i'd be a fool to hold you up or down you'll be the only one we'll run into the ground that you love say that you'll leave but you ask me for more leave our doubts outside the bedroom door i'd love to take you out and let you in forget the consequence you always win say that my name is all i have to give wonder how we are supposed to live you talk about your man the mess we're in if we should sink or swim you oughta go to him every night i wait and as the darkness dissipates i hope to see your shadow on my door got no confidence and you ain't got no common sense baby its too late for us for sure all those things we said we believed them too but maybe all those things just weren't true you know i still love you and i hope you love me too there's nothing left to do
