It was Dallas, Texas,
San Antone, or Idaho,
Maybe in New Mexico,
I don't know...,
Some time ago...,
I met a leather man out on the road,
Crease and fold,
Bent and old,
Had the saddest story ever told,
Chill your soul,
Cut the bone,
He said "I been on a roll,
On the road,
I been on a roll for so long,
It's so wrong...,
He said "What's left of me is cold,
Bought and sold,
Had no one to hold for so long,
It's so wrong...",
He said "No place feels like home,
No, No place feels like home...,
No place has felt like home for so long",
Saddest story ever told...,
"This path is one I chose",
On he goes,
"Up and down the oceans coast,
On a boat,
With nothing of my own,
All alone,
In Alaska where its cold,
With freezing snows,
Spent some time in Mexico,
Way down below,
But no matter where I go,
I know that everywhere I roam,
No place feels like home...,
Something's always off,
Drifter move along,
Black sheep of the fold..."
The man had the saddest story ever told.

Wandering and Lost
Post Comment
It's Liberty or Death,
Until my dying breath,
Libertas Aut Mors!,
Re-forge the broken sword,
War to end all wars,
What are we fighting for?,
Liberty or I can't function,
Mutually Assured Destruction,
Mutiny aboard the Dutchman,
Liberty or Death!,
Yes!...,
Liberty or death!,
Libertas Aut Mors!,
She holds a flaming torch,
What are we fighting for?
Liberty!,... I mean it,
Liberty!,... I bleed it,
Liberty!,... I scream it,
Liberty!...,
Or Death!

Just look in his eyes,
You'll see he died,
Life chewed him up and spit out his bones,
Lost everything including his soul,
Heart of stone buried and cold,
Just a broken piece of the whole,
World spinning out of control,
Now he's gone and nobody knows,
He died...,
He tried for awhile,
He cried for awhile,
He lied and denied,
He died...,
Just look in his eyes,
You'll see he died...

I was reading the letter you sent me...,
Pretty Penny,
Pretty Pretty Penny,
You were trying to let me down gently,
Pretty Penny,
Pretty Pretty Penny,
All the sudden,
Reality hit me,
My Cents left me...,
My Pretty Penny,
My Pretty Pretty Penny,
My heart heavy,
Feeling so empty,
At its beginning,
My life is ending,
Going crazy since my Cents left me,
My pretty Penny,
My Pretty Pretty Penny
Pretty Penny,
My Pretty Pretty Penny...

I'm going out of my mind,
Because I think about you all the time,
And I make believe your still here with me,
But while I deny reality,
I've been driven to insanity,
I'm going out of my mind,
It's like I don't know what's real anymore,
I'm going out of my mind,
And my whole world is falling apart,
Yeah,... I'm going out of my mind,
It's like you and me were two of a kind,
And now there's not much left of me,
Like we were never meant to be,
I get lost in the insanity,
I'm going out of my mind,
I don't know what's real anymore,
I'm going out of my mind,
Like my whole world is falling apart,
I'm going out of my mind,
I don't know how to let you go...,
I'm going out of my mind...,
I'm going out of my mind...,
I think I'm going out of my mind...

We're all in Trouble,
All in Trouble,
When The Lord Returns We're All In Trouble,
We follow devils,
And worship Idols,
My library alone has 13 Bibles!,
13 Bibles...!,
13 Bibles...!,
My library at home holds 13 Bibles!,
Confusing virgins, {versions},
Men put their words in,
Ask Jesus Christ why's human life so worthless,
I search for purpose,
But follow devils,
That worship Idols,
My library at home holds 13 Bibles!,
It's scurry hurry,
This funny running,
And nobody can get enough of money,
It's disgusting,
How we follow devils,
And worship Idols,
My Library at home holds 13 Bibles!,
13 Bibles,
12 disciples,
What cursed Lord would fill his words with Riddles?,
The truth is simple,
We follow devils,
That worship Idols,
My library alone has 13 Bibles!,
From everything I read we're all in trouble,
Its easy to see,
We're all in trouble,
Yeah...,It's plain to me,
We're all in trouble,
Ye..., Apparently we're all in trouble,
Whatever you believe we're all in trouble,
Alien or not,
Maybe pagan ancient gods,
No matter what they want,
We're all in trouble...,
All in Trouble...,
If Anyone Returns...,
We're all in Trouble...,

I call danger, and you hear wolf.
Both our fates lie in your dismissive hand.
Your steps are mine, we will share the dark.
And you, like me - will lament in silence.
I call danger, and you hear danger.
Both our fates lie in your heed of cry.
Your steps are mine, we will shed the dark.
Then you and me will sing in chorus.

It was 9 o'clock in the morning on a Tuesday,
It was Tuesday morning 9 o'clock,
Tick tock, Tick tock,
Make it stop...!,
These visions in my brain,
The thoughts bring only pain,
The scene repeats, replays,
I wondered what to say,
I begged her "Baby stay...",
And "It can't always rain...",
"We'll turn another page...",
"Maybe things will change...",
There's only me to blame,
I knew something was strange,
When she boarded the train,
And left without a wave,
That's when she went away,
Said "she just needed space...",
Said she'd be "gone a day...",
Deliberately vague,
Her words cut like a blade,
She lied right to my face,
At 9 o'clock in the morning on a Tuesday,
On a Tuesday...,
It was Tuesday...,
At 9 o'clock...

Listen to me...,
We have to keep them asleep,
So we stay elite and they stay under our feet,
Keep them asleep,
Week after week,
Slaving like dummies,
They'll be chasing that money,
It'll be funny,
Buddy,
It'll be sweet,
Barely a bleat,
The sheep are easy to fleece,
If we just keep them asleep,
We need hypnotic suggestions,
Mass broadcast the messages,
Through phones and T.V.'s,
Control the whole population,
Subliminally,
No-one will believe,
Though it's hard not to see,
We will call them conspiracies,
Downplay their theories,
We're Illuminati,
Listen to me...,
We have to keep them asleep,
So we stay elite and they stay under our feet,
Barely a "Baa" or a bleat,
The sheep are easy to fleece,
If we just keep them asleep...

I remember,
In my dreams,
I remember,
Everything,
I remember,
I can't forget,
I remember,
Happiness,
Yes I remember the time,
When we fell in love,
And I remember a time,
You couldn't get enough,
I remember your face,
The way you laughed,
I remember sometimes,
The times we had,
Babe, I remember...,
But, I remember,
I can't forget,
I remember,
Emptiness,
I remember the day,
The day you left,
I remember the words,
The words you said,
I remember the tears,
The tears I cried,
I remember the day,
The day I died...,
I remember that time...,
I remember,
In my dreams,
Over and over,
I see every scene,
Yes, I remember,
Everything...

Sometimes... longing for a love that was,
You forget all the bad and only remember the good...
