The Unit

Seven days now
I’ve been above the ground
The earth trembles with every sound
The sun is so bright
As I move around
Trying to figure out a part of my life
A part of my life that’s gone
Apprehension, I’m uncertain what to do
Anticipation, of what is yet to come
Seven days now
I’ve been above ground
The night is so cold
As I move around
Trying to figure out a part of my life
A part of my life that’s gone
I feel like I’m sitting on the edge of a knife
Trying to figure out a part of my life
But it’s hard to see
From where I stand
It’s hard to see what happened to me
Black coffee and cigarettes fuel me
Drive me
To the place where I can see
The last place that I saw me
I’m tired and feel so alone
I’ve been buried, like a bone
In the desert
Far from home
Seven days now
I’ve been above ground
But I’m touching down
I’m coming home
I found my way back
to the Unit
to the front door.

Undo the done




When the echo fades
the barrel is silent
it cools to cold
Lying on the ground
no longer growing old
warm to cold
A split second
etched in time forever
It's impossible to
undo the permanent
to undo the done
When the echo fades
the barrel is silent
hot becomes cold
lying on the ground
no longer growing old
warm becomes cold
the story ends
but there's no longer two
there's only one
not two sides
there's not two sides
to be told
A split second
etched in time forever
it's impossible to
it's impossible to
it's impossible to
it's impossible to
to undo the permanent
to undo the done
to undo the done
It's impossible to
to undo the done
it's impossible to undo
what you have done...

It don't come easy

It don't come easy
It ain't that hard to see
It don't come easy
In fact it don't come at all for me
I had a good life
But I gave it all away
I gave part of it to a needle
As for the rest
I cannot say
I have the heart of a young man
Bent broken and sore
I have the mind of a young man
I can't be him anymore
I could have met a woman
Instead I met myself
Somewhere between the needle
And the medicine on the shelf
It don't come easy
It ain't that hard to see
It don't come easy
In fact it don't come at all for me
I made decisions
and every day I pay
For the things I did
Mistakes I made
when choices came my way
I had a good life
But I gave it all away
It don't come easy
It ain't that hard to see
It don't come easy
In fact it don't come at all for me
I am stuck and frustrated
With the heart of a young man
Bent broken and sore
The mind of a young man
Who I can't be anymore
It don't come easy
It ain't that hard to see
It don't come easy
In fact it don't come at all for me
It don't come easy
It ain't that hard to see
It don't come easy
In fact it don't come at all for me
It don't come at all for me
No, no, no...
It don't come at all
for
me
