This is not the only way out
This is not the only way out
Hammer em in hammer em in you shout
Everybody makes it into clay
I hope to stay in clay myself someday
Salt the earth so i wont grow again
I'm free from sin
Hammer me in like you hammer your life away
Hammer me in like you hammer your life away
Hammer em in hammer in you say
Raise the cup to raise the dead you say
A perfect circle stands in all our way
Place a stone on top so I can tunnel out
I'm free from doubt

Lesson #25

|

I hit the kick stand
Quit work or quick sand
Why must I spell it out?
No charm, no house
No harm, no foul mouth
Have you ever seen another work of God so ordinary?
The pieces seem to fit
Have you ever seen another work of God so ordinary?
By now I'm used to it
Have you ever seen another work of God?
Such extraordinary cowardice?
Content to hiss, I hit and miss it
I know where the atom bomb is
I know where the atom bomb is
I'll always kick sand
A brick or my plan
I'll never apologize
No bond, no bond
Just hostile words
Have you ever seen another work of God so ordinary?
The pieces seem to fit
Have you ever seen another work of God so ordinary?
By now I'm used to it
Have you ever seen another work of God?
Such extraordinary cowardice?
Content to hiss, I hit and miss I
I know where the atom bomb is
I know where the atom bomb is
I know where the atom bomb is

Lesson #03
02:35
|
|||
Well I'll turn my life around
Not that it needs much turning
And I'll throw my weight around
Not like I really mean it
And this ship has run aground
Not like you really need it
And I'll tell you pound for pound
Except the reason I'm leaving
It's all over Now
There's nothing left to say
Not like you'd even listen
It's gone too far anyway to stop and really listen
But there's more to what I seek
Not like you'd ever know it
And I'll tell you what I need
Not like you'd understand it
It's all over now
(And I'll throw you a ball of string so I can get to sleep)
It's all over now
Not that you really put much faith in me
Burn it to the ground
Not that you really have what I need
You turn around
Not that you really need much to turn
So Turn it Down

Pyrite

Where on earth can I hide it?
Where on earth is the shade?
Much too brittle to replace it
With what they made
I lost my luster
It's not as good as gold
I lost my iron
It's not as good as gold
I lost my water
It's not as good as wine
I lost my water
I lost my color
It's not as good as luster
I lost my iron
It's not as good as gold
I lost my water
It's not as good as wine
I lost my alkaline
Where on earth is the real one?
Where on earth can I pass?
Why on earth is this the only thing they ask of me?
I lost my luster
It's not as good as gold
I lost my iron
It's not as good as gold
I lost my water
It's not as good as wine
I lost my water
I lost my color
It's not as good as luster
I lost my iron
It's not as good as gold
I lost my water
It's not as good as wine
I lost my alkaline
It's not as good as gold
It's not as good as gold
It's not as good as gold

Lesson #24
03:41
|
|||
Time, I mean time
Is not out of mind
There's a reason I talk so slowly
You lie in under glass
Like a snake in the grass
But, you're moving too fast
You're a pain in the asp
I didn't know which way to go
People tell me I'm moving too slow
People hate me, but that's nothing new
You always hate what you turn into food
Time, I need time
It's not under mine
There's a reason I walk so slowly
I try, I mean I try
Like a firefly
But I'm holed in the jar
I didn't get very far
I didn't know which way to go
People tell me I'm moving too slow
People hate me, but that's nothing new
You always hate what you turn into food
I know it's over now
But, I'm not so sure I'll ever make it home
I'm not sure I'll ever even go
So, take it all away, I'll make it mine
I'll make it fine
People tell me I'm moving too slow
I'm not so sure I'll ever go home
People hate me, but that's nothing new
You always hate what you turn into food

Lesson #04

All I really want out of life Is a railroad spike
And all I ever wanted to be Was on one, two, three
All I ever wanted to see was time be kind to me
All I ever wanted to see was time be kind to me
Oh no, not me
You never saw the gun in my hand
You count to three
And know I'm branded where where I stand
All I really want out of life Is a railroad spike
And all I ever wanted to be was on one, two, three
Oh, no not me
You never saw the gun in my hand
You count to three
And know I'm guilty here where where I stand
To bear or to bear down
The road forks ahead of me
You said it's just an idle story
And I said I need to breath or is it leave?
You said you fear the world
Well, I fear gravity
I fear it's just an idle story
And I said I need to breathe or is it leave?

Lesson #27
02:40
|
|||
I prefer to walk before I crawl
I prefer to stand and face the fall
I'm sick of letting fear have it all
I guess I need to be more-strong
I need to learn to take things as they come
I need to let the course be run
I need to count the battles that I've won
This downhill grade has just begun
I prefer to walk before I crawl
I prefer to stand and face the fall
I'm sick of letting fear have it all
I guess I need to be more-strong
Proof that these things can change
On the Spanish Main
On the Spanish Main
I prefer to walk before I crawl
I prefer to stand and face the fall
I'm sick of letting fear have it all
I guess I need to be more-strong
I need to learn to take things as they come
I need to let the course be run
I need to count the battles that I've won
This downhill grade has just begun
Here's Proof that things can change
On the Spanish Main
On the Spanish Main
On the Spanish Main
I prefer to walk before I crawl
I prefer to stand and face the fall
I'm sick of letting fear have it all
I guess I need to be more-strong
I need to learn to take things as they come
I need to let the course be run
I need to count the battles that I've won
This downhill grade has just begun
I prefer to walk before I crawl
I prefer to stand and face the fall
I'm sick of letting fear have it all
I guess I need to be more-strong

Lesson #26
02:30
|

So I'll never make it mine
I guess that it's my time
The light that shines so bright
So bright that it beckons me to find it
I'll see you in a few days
Maybe less, maybe more behaved
Overworked and underappreciated
And hated for being patient
I'm drawing the battle line
With tape down the middle of the room
A dry spell or turpentine
So I sit and watch the stars
I sit and wait for ours
I planned to march all night
But wait, It's only the beginning
Under this mess I've made
Being banked or being saved?
I guess it's all the same to you
But to me it's the beginning
I'm drawing the battle line
With tape down the middle of the room here
A dry spell or turpentine
I'm drawing the battle line
I don't believe in trends
I don't believe in trends
I don't believe the end will come
Without a light to follow
Under this mess I've made
Being banked or being saved?
I guess it's all the same to you
But to me it's the beginning
Time to say it's all right

Lesson #30
02:32
|

I'm just a person a person who flounders
Ten times I've been open 10 times I've been grounded
But, I can't hold my breath for that long under water
I'd make a good onion, you'd make a good daughter
So, I'll have to make a change
I get to take the reigns before
Mine hit the floor
That's where you'll find me
And then chalk outline me
With doctor's orders
I know it's not
I know it's not
I'm just a flounder, a flounder who persons
I wait for things to get better, but they always worsen
I'd stand in cement to be free the water
The surface is temperate, cold at the bottom
So, I get to make a change
I have to take the reigns before
Mine hit the floor
That's where you can find me
And then chalk outline me
With doctor's orders
I know it's now
I know it's now
So, I'll have to make a change
I have to take the reigns before
Mine hit the floor
That's where you can find me
And then chalk outline me
With doctor best's orders
I know it's mine
I know it's mine

Lesson #20
03:33
|
|||
Will this winter never end
I've had it up to here
With everything I am
With everything I am
Will this cold spell disappear
Like you've been gone 4 years
I wish that you were here
Like I wish that he was here
But word is he's coming back
And March is not too far away
I'll be the first to say
I'll be the first to sway
Will this summer never come
I'm sick of all this cold
Like I'm sick of all this cold
Like I'm sick of all this
Faith paling
I barely stand at all
I'm still swaying
Will this winter never end
I had it up to here
I'll be the first to mend
I'll be the first to mend
Chances are by now you've heard
How I sugar coat the world
How I change it from my bed
How I change it from my bed
Will this cold spell last for years
Like I've been lost for years
I wish that you were here
Like I wish that you were here
Will this summer never come
I''m sick of all this cold
Like I'm sick of all this cold
Like I'm sick of all this
Faith paling
I barely stand at all
I'm still swaying home
