Start a book about my life
Write it down; There's still time
About the joy and the pain
Tell it all; Everything
I wanna see all the lights turned on
I wanna see all the time turned off
I wanna feel all the pain is gone
I wanna touch the face of God
And I'll smell where she came from
Tie it up before its time
Do it quick; Merciful Like
Don't make me watch
I can't stand to see all the blood
Keep it away from me
I wanna see all the lights turned on
I wanna see all the time turned off
I wanna feel all the pain is gone
I wanna touch the face of God
And I'll smell where she came from
I wanna see all the lights turned on

Ghost

Alone in my bed
The kids are tucked in
We sang the songs
The ones we always did
But its not the same
Its a dwindling star
My only sunshine
Its growing dark
Oh want you hold on to me
Be the ghost in my sleep
Slip inside a dream
Leave a little memory
To bring back the pain
Baby I need your ball and your chain
Tied on to me
Baby be the ghost in my sleep
I try to feel
I wish I could hurt
This emptiness is so much worse
I tried to cry but all I could do
Was sit in the silence and pray for you
Oh want you hold on to me
Be the ghost in my sleep
Slip inside a dream
Leave a little memory
To bring back the pain
Baby I need your ball and your chain
Tied on to me
Baby be the ghost in my sleep
Ahh want you be the ghost in my sleep

She read that note I wrote
High on a fifth and I was thinkin'
Dyin dreams are deadly things
For a man alone and drinkin'
Feelin' like its time to go
Gonna leave it all behind
Nobody cares and they'll never know
They'll never find me
Baby I liedI I lied I lied
Oh Baby I wish you'd never seen it
I tried I died inside
Oh I was fighting' for the feeling'
I lied I lied I lied
Oh baby I know you don't believe it
Wide eyed I cried and cried
Oh I don't know all the reasons
I lied
She read it all out loud
I could hear the tears a comin'
She was mad; she was sad
With every word she was chokin'
Findin' out our love was lost
Nothin left of Eden Baby I
I wanna burn those words
I wanna eat em
I liedI I lied I lied
Oh Baby I wish you'd never seen it
I tried I died inside
Oh I was fighting' for the feeling'
I lied I lied I lied
Oh baby I know you don't believe it
Wide eyed I cried and cried
Oh I don't know all the reasons
I lied
She closed her eyes and shook her head
She started talkin' to the wall
Aww I could see this comin' baby
Like winter wind blowing into fall
Every angry eye; All that bitterness you hold
That was yours; Now its mine
I've gotta let you go
Baby I liedI I lied I lied
Oh Baby I wish you'd never seen it
I tried I died inside
Oh I was fighting' for the feeling'
I lied I lied I lied
Oh baby I know you don't believe it
Wide eyed I cried and cried
Oh I don't know all the reasons
I lied

Like There's No Tomorrow

Start to break down again
Take the pills; drink the wine
Until I feel like I did when I was young
I could fool anyone; Even myself
I believed my life was yet to come
But baby I live Like There's No Tomorrow
If I have to beg steal and borrow
If it comes hell; comes hell or high water
Then Baby I'll live Like There's No Tomorrow
I think I feel like I'm real
Then I wake up from this dream
In a Lie that I just won't give up
I need to let go; Let it flow
From my fingertips
All over you all over me
Turn the lights on baby now let me see
And I'll Live Like There's no Tomorrow
If I have to beg steal and borrow
If it comes hell; comes hell or high water
Then Baby I'll live Like There's No Tomorrow
Well I'll live and I'll Love
And I'll give just enough
And I take what I want
Never givin it up
I wear my heart out on my sleeve
For this whole damn world to see
There aint no shame in this game
If you know just what I mean
And Baby I'll Live Like There's no Tomorrow
If I have to beg steal and borrow
If it comes hell; comes hell or high water
Then Baby I'll live Like There's No Tomorrow
Well I'll live and I'll Love (repeat)

Gypsy girl; Diamond eyes
High heels pulled thigh high
Stands alone on her throne
Pickin on them scraps and bone
Workin' through the mornin'
Asleep all day
Waitin' for the darkness and the light to fade
Its all about the money
Time to get paid
Them country club honey's they just give it away yeah
Away Away yeah
Daddy taught her; Ran away
With a girl that was half his age
She'd give anything to believe
Somebody cared and they would never leave
Workin' through the mornin'
Asleep all day
Prayin' for the darkness and the light to fade
Its all about the money
Time to get paid
That sweet little baby she just gave it away yeah
Away Away yeah
Every day she say; Feels the same
Top down tied up dried out I'm goin' insane
Take the bottle down; Shake it out
Try to hide that busted up black eye
She got last night
Workin' through the mornin'
Asleep all day
Beggin' for the darkness and the light to fade
She don't want the money
Its a waste
Maybe this time well she'll just give it away yeah
Away Away yeah

Burnin' Me Down

Where's my baby? She's crying out for me
I hear the feelin'
She's dyin in her sleep
Waves are crashing Pounding in my veins
Her eyes are fadin'; she's hangin' on to me
Oh Hate me Valerie; I need a reason to get up off my knees
Oh shake me Valerie
I need the needle; Your awful offering
Oh hate me
Though I can't see it; You've been here all along
Standin' in the corner; With nothin on
I can't believe it there's nothin else to say
I hope I see you before you walk away
Oh Hate me Valerie; I need a reason to get up off my knees
Oh shake me Valerie
I need the needle; Your awful offering
Oh hate me
Beggin for forgiveness; Beggin you to stay
Oh please don't leave me baby; Baby don't leave this way
I'm afraid I'm dyin'; I'm scared of every day
My eyes won't open; No matter what I say so
Hate me Valerie; I need a reason to get up off my knees
Oh shake me Valerie
I need the needle; Your awful offering
Oh hate me
