07 Wait bottleful of anger playful, wasteful, so ungrateful bashful, shameful, so unfaithful spoonful, stressful, so resentful beautiful character better be careful sadness with laughter always mindful of disaster
08 Cracks in the Surface cracks in the surface all around us yet we can’t seem to color inside the lines we let them build main street on a landfill then wonder why the water lines are all on fire? so while you keep on searching for answers right in front of you i’m gonna go out and run for cover ‘cause it’s no longer a joke when the victim is you bought land worth a dollar for just over two then wondered why the bubble burst so now what’s the everyman to do? what good is a life raft without any oars or for that matter people to paddle or someone educated or smart enough to point us toward shore? the door was always open we just had nothing interesting to do except fill our children’s minds with hatred then wonder why they bring a gun to school? be careful what you wish for ‘cause you only get one soul careful what you live for ‘cause you might just reach your goals step into the light it’s killing me hold on with all your might and it’s sure to never be be careful what you wish for ‘cause you only get one soul be sure for what you reach for ‘cause money doesn’t make a home are you listening to the story that they’re selling on t.v.? or can you look the other way and say ‘sorry son go fight for me.’ faith don’t lead us blind to struggle and not taste the wine the narrow path on which we wander get off your knees and make demands gravity’s upside down so listen now to the quiet sound so listen now listen now
09 Goodbye and i know that every time you say goodbye that you don’t really mean it and i don’t mean to cry but now you say that you’re gonna leave and i hope that this time you mean it mean it again mean it for real this time ‘cause i don’t wanna see you no more so let’s say goodbye for now and let’s not beat around this bush again right now my friend goodbye so long i wish i could say it’s not real this time
10 Voice in the Shadows a voice in the shadows that doesn’t speak its name hidden in the undertoe where the vein can’t feel it’s shame it won’t beg or borrow and you can’t knock it down don’t you know brother nobody ever makes it in this town i don’t need permission i’m gonna rule this land my blood runs red with the outlaw jessie i’m the new sheriff in this land there’s a new kind’ve cowboy cut from an old stock of man when a man knew when to stand up back when a man was a man danced with the devil this is what he said i exist only as your ego realize the war’s inside your head it won’t beg or borrow and you can’t knock it down don’t you know brother nobody ever makes it in this town there’s a new kind of cowboy cut from the old cloth of man my blood runs red with the outlaw jessie i’m the new sheriff in this land ran with the devil and though he tried and tried he couldn’t even keep up with me i told him this soul ain’t never gonna die i’m the voice in the shadows that doesn’t dare speak it’s name i exercised my demons and this is what they had to say patience is a virtue and some scars won’t ever go away
11 On My Way heading back to reno i’m on my way tell them that i’m coming back again some day and i know where to lay my head and i know when to go away ‘cause i ain’t met no sinner that ain’t got no saints may not be your sinner baby but i sure ain’t been no saint coming back to the city not sure what i can take gonna come back to the city gonna go until it breaks i ain’t got no sinners here ‘cause i ain’t ever known any saints i ain’t got no reason here ‘cause i ain’t got no breaks if you ain’t got no sinners then you ain’t got what it takes yeah if you ain’t willing to be a sinner baby then you ain’t got what it takes going back to reno ‘cause i know it cannot break gonna be in vegas soon ‘cause i know it’s got what it takes ‘cause baby don’t you know the first one always breaks ‘cause if you ain’t got nobody in your corner baby then you will always break ‘cause if you ain’t got nobody in your corner baby then everything else is fake
