Headed to the borderline Crossing the river to cut my ties Left my whole family behind I was born a sacrifice Headed to the borderline Going out west to change my life I heard they got work in the mines Where the days are dark as night Days are dark as night oh yeah An army of invincible mind I’m going down in the tunnels in a picket line My eyes don’t remember the light We gone get buried alive, we gone get buried alive yeah In the light light oh Buried alive oh ho Come on In the light light oh Buried alive oooooohhh Huh Calloused hands never learned to write I left my and child for dynamite It’s high time we unionize My rights feel paralyzed My rights feel paralyzed Paralyzed ah oh Paralyzed ah oh Come on Paralyzed ah oh Paralyzed yeah On the mountain On the mountain On the mountain On the mountain On the mountain On the mountain On the mountain On the mountain yeah Uh oh Well oh yeah Imma find that man on the mountain Shoot him down on the mountain His blood will flow like a fountain Like a fountain, like a fountain

Well let me tell you about A chain of events that took place In the middle of Wisconsin On a cold dark day I was walking alone On a road out of place When I saw one hundred hundred dollar bills Staring at my face They were whisked around Falling out of a burlap sack That was wrapped around a body With a bullet in his back And I thought, "Go ahead and take them" "Maybe just a few stacks" But before I could decide Suddenly off went the dye pack So before I went with humanity I knowingly decided no This high life type of insanity Lies within this bag I hold Choking on a coral colored cloud in the sky I thought, "This is stupid" "There's no way that I'm this type of guy" But some confidence came over me When I opened up my eyes And saw that all the Benji Franklins Were staring back into mine So I ran through the fields Ran past the mills Holding on tight to my pink dollar bills That's when I heard a bunch of sirens coming over the hills And the going-back-to-the-middle kills, mother fucker I need more I need more So before I went with humanity I knowingly decided no This high life type of insanity Lies within this bag Oh Ha ha ha So before I went with humanity I knowingly decided no This high life type of insanity Was within this bag I hold Did I do it for vanity To see if I could be bold To escape what's always been expected of me Sounds better than growing old

Under the force of passion My heart and soul are being seduced Love is used often as a weapon To hide the past and bleeding truth Twisted words get a reaction I call your bluff see through your excuse Like a raging bull racing to the heavens Just trying to prove I don’t need you And now I’m falling down Possessed by a shadow of doubt That shields me from pain Wields a blade of a permanent flame I can’t separate My past from my present mistakes Well you say you own me But I ain’t your damn property You spent a night in his sheets Then come crying to me To kiss the lips of my glory Well I ain’t trying to preach But I heard you was working the streets Don’t try to keep secrets from me You know I’m a loving machine Oh go go go yeah And now I’m falling down Possessed by a shadow of doubt That shields me from pain Wields a blame of a permanent flame I can’t separate My past from my present mistakes no And now I’m falling down Possessed by a shadow of doubt That shields me from pain Wields a blame of a permanent flame I can’t separate My past from my present mistakes My past from my present mistakes Woah you know Past from my present mistakes

Love Bomb 04:15
Another one to say goodbye Another one I roll my eyes We promised promises You had me on my knees and Oh, you took all that away from me When I was your fantasy, your love, your dream But you're a love bomb, blow my mind You make me stay, you make me cry Love bomb, blow my mind You're a love bomb, blow my mind You make me stay, you waste my time Love bomb, blow my mind And my heart starts racing I feel the adrenaline pacing For you I fell but you weren't there to catch Then pretty soon I was attached You made me look a fool Had me wrapped up before I knew Oh, what you took all away from me When you were my fantasy, my love, my dream But you're a love bomb, blow my mind You make me stay, you make me cry Love bomb, blow my mind You're a love bomb, blow my mind You make me stay, you waste my time Love bomb, blow my mind And my heart starts racing I feel the adrenaline pacing For you But you're a love bomb, blow my mind You make me stay, you make me cry Love bomb, blow my mind You're a love bomb, blow my mind You make me stay, you waste my time Love bomb, blow my mind And my heart starts racing I feel the adrenaline pacing For you Love bomb Love bomb Love bomb You really caught me on the clock Zeroed in and took your shot Now I'm lying on the floor What am I looking for?

Yeah I see 'em running Yeah I see 'em hiding But help is on the way The fire terrorizing Bloody brutalizing Every single soul in its way Cause I don't plan on dying I don't plan on crying Anytime here today I hope they're at the ready I hope their aim is steady Cause green berets don't make mistakes Send 'em all to their graves Send 'em all to their graves yeah, oh Tell me how many times I gotta risk my life To get my brothers back to the states Tried to dodge the draft a thousand times And still we got sent away So it's fee fi fum We gone get it done In this life or the next You know that I mean business When I give these snitches stitches Put a gun straight to his chest Send 'em off with a blast Send 'em off with a blast yeah Oh yeah, yeah, yeah They wanted freedom, yeah Love and equality We had the power To blow their minds away We brought napalm showers Yeah we brought napalm showers So son lay low In the green jungle When you lose all hope Hold your rifle close And when the sun sinks low You'll become a ghost Well I can't take much more Of this blood and gore yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah They wanted freedom, yeah Love and equality We had the power To blow their minds away We brought napalm showers Yeah we brought napalm showers

Coffee in hand, dreading the feeling As the dawn robs you of all your rest Another man lost in transition He works a nine to five as his dreams die an honest death Baby blue skies seem so familiar Reminds me of youth, fearless with no regrets You’re going through the motions day after day You’re too young to keep on living this way Do you recall the day when life became mundane And the boy is gone who you knew Well life passed you by, maybe your missed your chance I hope it’s worth it, when you made that sacrifice Wine glass in hand, chasing the weekend Social queen questions the crown she wears Another girl searching for validation She masquerades in ballrooms of fools and knaves All eyes upon you, secretly envy, they wouldn’t know The burden you bear with such grace You’re going through the motions night after night oh Nobody knows what you hide behind those pretty blues eyes My baby yeah Do you recall the day when you spread your wings to fly And the girl is lost to the world Well you’re chasing admiration, now you have it all I hope it’s worth it when you make that sacrifice Let’s go One day you’ll find yourself Walking down that same old path yeah You realize this isn’t you You lost what you thought you had yeah Well a moment’s haste clears the fog And shines the beauty through, now you When you look down and you see Those roses on North Avenue

Sugarless 05:45
If I was eight again Standing just above the floor If I was eight again Mere feet above the floor La da da da da I'd be as happy as I'll ever be And plan my meals no more If I was ten again Walking down down down to school If I was ten years old again And the world was only school I would've stood my ground more often And leave not my blood Not my blood Not my blood Not my blood to pool I would've lived lost and in love without fear, darling In this company of fools And their precious little rules Now, if I was twelve again Falling for a girl (This was the first time) If I was just twelve years old again Such a lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely Lovely girl I would've told her she's sweeter than honey In this sugarless world I would've told her just how sweet she was Ma ma ma ma ma ma Molasses-dipped, cherry twist Vanilla chocolate swirl If I was a boy... again I'd know nothing at all If I was just a little boy again Zip nada, no knowledge No nothing, nothing at all La da da da da I'd know not the pain of love Or why that little golden man Stays hung up on my wall On a lower-case T Is this man for me or I for him Meant to live as old as sunlight's end Until then be cursed to watch the burning Sweet, sweet children never learning Over and over and over again

I used to be afraid of the night Shadows and darkness Would play tricks on my mind A demon’s delight You see it’s all intertwined Let the fires from the darkness Guide you to the depths of your mind In the city of lights In the city of lights The city of lights In the city of lights The city of lights Is polluting my mind It’s modern and ancient all at the same time A pride of design I don’t fit with the times Torn between traditions And the future’s disguise The future’s disguise Well now I’m back for the night City is burning like the fourth of July yeah In the city of lights In the city of lights The city of lights yeah My eyes were mesmerized by the light Now the heavens and the starlight And I no longer align Ever watching satellite Let your spirit unwind Let it migrate to the inner child That you left far behind In city of lights Well now I’m back for the night City is burning like the fourth of July yeah In the city of lights In the city of lights The city of lights Yeah I’m so far gone, yeah Now I’m so far gone In this time of our lives We gonna ride through the night The night As the northern lights Paint the colors of the rainbow sky The sky Well it’s a heavenly sight And it’s here today Because our lust for life Must die someday Yeah I’m gonna ride through the night And I’ll fade away Away, away, away
