There May Be Some Pain
03:41

i was so naive to think that i knew anything
i could not recognize disaster
even though it was about to be happening to me
i could have kept my mouth shut but i asked her
i asked her
there may be some pain but there won't be any blood
except the little bit that's trickling out my ears
i never thought your words would feel like being shot
the sound that echoes in my head for years and years
i thought that someday i'd recover
maybe time would just heal all the wounds
i sought comfort in the arms of another
the next natural disaster coming soon
came too soon
i can't just get over it
after you've torn out my heart
why can't life decide to stand still
during the good part
there may be some pain but there won't be any blood
except the little bit that's trickling out my ears
tell me how to forget the times when you were shot
the pain that echoes in your chest for years and years

King Of Canada
04:25
|
|||
|
envisioning my rise to power
i think back to the very hour
when i gave birth to this wonderful plan
when i grow up
i want to be king of canada
i want my face put on the loonie
if you please
the great white north would be my kingdom
and i'd reign majestically
over all the snow and every maple tree
the king of canada is what i want to be
the irish have guiness and hurling
but give me crown royal molson and curling
and a hockey stick as a scepter in my hand
every moose and every mounty,
every municipality
would start to celebrate from coast to coast
the cannucks and habs and newfies
won't say "HE'S A HOSER!" when they see me
'cause i'd be the king that they'd all love the most

Hooked
02:09

smoking a cigarette
you asked me for a hit
lots of fish in the sea
but i'm the one that bit
tried to tear myself away
but i couldn't leave
had to watch your sleight of hand
see what was up your sleeve
a whiskey on the rocks
you asked me for a sip
gave back and empty glass
with an imprint of your lip
couldn't tear myself away
but i didn't really fight
i figured you can reel me in
and land yourself this fish tonight

Six Years With Satan
03:39
|
|||
|
tearing down the highway with the windows open
you ask yourself is there another chapter or is this the end
wishing that you could go back to that day to undo
all of the mistakes that you made when you first decided to begin
decided to begin
you never thought the last six years would end up like it did
even if you knew your lips were sealed tight
you never wanted to be messing with the devil
you just thought you found someone to love
and keep you warm at night
roll the windows up now 'cause the rain is coming in
and it's getting really hard to see what's coming up ahead
you've been gaining on the darkness but you dare not turn around
confident you are escaping from the land of the living dead
the living dead
too afraid to question what the hell he even meant
by what he said the last time he walked out the door
no reason to believe that you will ever meet again
as if you ever thought that you would ever meet before.

Old Man
03:32
|
|||
|
his footsteps echo
all the way up to the altar
his body weary
but his voice does not falter
father to you
my confession do i make
i've not been thankful for
the things you give and take
just as i've returned to thee
please return my one true love to me
he cries out in the streets
despite people sleeping
waking to the sound
of this old man weeping
father to you
my confession do i give
i've not behaved in the ways
you would want me to live
the weight of this pain
is more than i can bear
she told me you'd take
my sins and all my cares

Say The Words
03:45
|
|||
|
question all i know
what's true seems unclear
is this my imagination
it's all a dream i fear
the bottle's empty now
but what else can i do
now that i've broken down
i've got the guts to call on you
big dreams little man is all i heard
how long before these dreams come true
how can i say the words
shake my head and hope
my ears stop ringing
band's playing louder now
but i still can't hear what they're singing
how i am crushed
but i have not fallen yet
all my hope is bound
in the moment we first met
if i missed the chance to tell you face to face
if the feelings go or if the feelings stay
after our hearts have gone their separate ways
just know i'll always love you
big dreams little man is all i heard
how long before these dreams come true
how can i say "i love you"?

Future Misses Wescott
04:21
|
|||
|
before you even met him, in your heart he had a spot
the future misses wescott
you heard the rain tonight is turning into snow
when sleep will come is something you don't know
looking for a place to lay your weary head for free
your earthly possessions stacked on someone's borrowed balcony
in spite of the pain you feel
it's hard to tell you are alive
the idea of prayer crosses your mind
wondering if you will survive
all the times you said you loved him, he already forgot
the future misses wescott
seemed like any normal day when you just disappeared
not the kind of news your loved ones want to hear
everyone was in distress to find you to be gone
with all the people wondering how they would carry on
i woke up twelve years older
you still gone without a trace
but the memory was still strong
you know that time time could not erase
the future is thankful for all of the things it's got
but the future misses wescott, the future misses wescott

One Of These Days
04:03
|
|||
|
eviction notice came today
so i'm moving out to troubletown
seven in my hand, the dealer's showing ace
but still think that i'll double down
one of these days my luck is gonna change
one of these days the normal won't seem strange
one of these days the odds stacked against me will fall
i'll have nothing left to lose so in a way i'll have it all
the downward spiral that i'm riding
i don't know what made it begin
and just because i'm good at losing
doesn't mean that i can't win
it doesn't mean that i can't win
you can't count me out
'cause i am not gonna quit
everything i've got
is all you're gonna get
one of these days my luck is gonna change
one of these days the normal won't seem strange
one of these days the odds stacked against me will fall
i will finally have you here, i will finally have it all

Just One
05:05
|
|||
|
coming at you from all sides
but it's just one
you start to think it's got nine lives
but it's just one
a million places you can hide
but it's just one
of all the things that you have tried
it's just one, it's just one
of all the days that you have saved
it's just one
all the feelings you've conveyed
it's just one
all the sorrows that you steal
it's just one
a hundred wounds left to be healed
it's just one, it's just one, just one
of all the minutes you don't dream
it's just one
a momentary change of scene
it's just one
all of the unconfessed desires
it's just one
all of the hopes strung up by wires
it's just one

Over
04:18
|
|||
|
if it's gonna be over
it's gotta end like you mean it
it's gotta be a new episode
so i can't tell you i've seen it
if it's gonna be over
you're gonna have to make up your mind
can go into this one
and later claim you were flying blind
if it's gonna be over
than it's gotta be over
please don't waste your time or mine
if it's gonna be over
then the sooner it's over
is the sooner that things will be just fine
if it's gonna be over
better practice your poker face
or i'll never believe
you want to leave this place
if it's gonna be over
it's gotta be your disasterpiece
a work of art to tell
your heart to rest in peace

Goodnight
03:41
|
|||
|
in these small hours
long after dark
though long before the dawn
i send these words
on a wire to you
only to say goodnight
goodnight, i love you
goodnight, i love you
goodnight
in these small hours
i stay awake
and try to wait so patiently
but soon i close my eyes and dream
that you will wake me from my sleep
and whisper these sweet words to me
do you wish that you were here
with no wires in between
and when you said goodnight to me
you'd be in my arms falling asleep
i only hope one day
to find you feel the same
and when we're face to face
won't hesitate to say….
