Rat-Eyed 04:03
There was a light that slithered in through the cracks in our room And I tried to keep it out, made a patch of mud and blooms But nothing seemed to work It took me time to say of what I was so afraid That there could be a flaw in the walls that we had framed And there might be no cure But I'd never been less sure No, I've never been less sure Because where I searched, I found mold in the corners And when I grieved, I was the only mourner Where I bled I found I'd blurred the borders So now I, well I feel a slight bit surer There came a day when I could walk through the streets of my town With my eyes up at the masses and even fall down And nothing seemed to hurt It took me time to look around and to be unafraid To know that I could light the match, put my hand in the flame And there would be no burn And I'd never been more sure No, I've never been more sure Because where I searched, I found mold in the corners And when I grieved, I was the only mourner Where I bled I found I'd blurred the borders So now I, well I feel a slight bit surer Rat-eyed and half-blind is no way to live life With rat eyes and half-blind - well, it's no way to live life Where I searched, I found mold in the corners And when I grieved, I was the only mourner Where I bled I found I'd blurred the borders So now I, well I feel a slight bit surer Rat-eyed and half-blind is no way to live life

My phone is broke, my keys are gone and I am tired I took a walk and then got lost and went for hours The asphalt burns and all the stores say shoes required Well I've got none and there's no grass to quench this fire Will I make it till the rain Will there be a chance for me again I have got nothing and no one I have got nothing and no one but me to blame So I'm detached and all I worked to patch has died Broke nearly all our ribs in trying to revive it But no sound love was ever made from scraps and rinds And by the time I realized, our well was dry Will I make it through this pain Will there be a chance for me again I have got nothing and no one I have got nothing and no one but me to blame Perhaps that's it - the lesson's quick and I'll be fine That I should not expect to keep what was once mine That if he learns to love again, then so will I But it's only me tonight it seems and that's alright Because I made it through this day And there will be a chance for me again I have got nothing and no one I have got nothing and no one I have got nothing and no one to keep me tame

Open Road 02:59
There'll be no home for me There'll only be wandering Out on the road, out on my own There'll be no home for me But there'll be air to breathe And there'll be sights for seeing Out on the road, out on my own There will be air to breathe So when I'm tired and when I'm low Give me an open road So that when I'm broken and when I'm old I will still be my own But dear you must agree It's better you than me Out on the coast, out on your own It's better you than me So when I'm tired and when I'm low Give me an open road So that when I'm broken and when I'm old I will still be my own So when I'm tired and when I'm low Give me an open road So that when I'm broken and when I'm old I will still be my own I will still be my own I will still be my own

Don't Follow 03:20
Didn't I tell you I am wrong? Didn't I tell you to move on? I thought I'd said my last so long Yet here you are Thought you had eyes enough to see When something's not there that should be Thought you had mind enough to know When I said don't follow And I said don't follow I have bathed and kept you all the nights you wept through Still you give nothing to me So if I have misspoken and your heart was open I'll be clear as I know to be My dear - don't follow me My dear - don't follow me So if I have misspoken and your heart was open I'll be clear as I know to be My dear - don't follow me My dear Didn't I tell you I am wrong? Didn't I tell you to move on?

I have had too many loves Where every chance I had I'd run Why do I like to say it's done And just as it starts, I give up Maybe I was born with missing parts Was made with a blank where goes the heart Maybe I got taught too late to start And there's no hope for me in loving See I never meant to be your one Prefer you adore me than to love me But somehow I always get outdone And I take in love where I give none Maybe I was born with missing parts Was made with a blank where goes the heart Maybe I got taught too late to start And there's no hope for me in loving Baby I was born with missing parts I came with a blank where goes the heart Honey I got taught too late to start So there's no hope for me There's no hope for me There's no hope for me in loving

My Kind 03:34
There will come a time in this life When the fruit of your hands' work will be ripe And you think, Who am I to sleep alone at night? Well it's just a kind of why If the day has done and burnt out your light You've given your youth and all of your fire You think, Who am I to give up a fight? Well you're just the kind to try And I think, Who am I to sleep alone at night? I never was one to give up a fight I worked my hands raw just for this bite And I'm just the kind to try So if you think, Who am I to sleep alone at night? No matter how far, won't give up the fight If you worked your hands raw just for this bite Then you're just my kind of guy
