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 03:04

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 04:08

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)

Away 03:39

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

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
