I got a letter and a picture from a stranger I want to meet you, let me tell you who your son is On the block the people walk and talk and greet ya I want to take you where they said they saw the sun
Why is all the sunlight gone? Same old story, gone to meet you Same old story, sonny boy
And they will and he's lost his mind Oh and I know now the son is mine
Turn your sunlights on!
Saw the photograph they said it's from a stranger I saw the photograph, they said they want to meet you I read the message and already went to see them I took the photograph, it's really good to meet you

There was a kid named Jim he always had a big old grin he was the biggest bully on the block he combed his hair just right always looking for a fight until the day he decided to throw that rock
Billy was the picked on one one day he found a gun in the closet of his parents' messy bedroom he told his best friend Dunn all about the gun and said one day he'd have to kill big Jim
Don't mess with Billy 'cause Billy says he's had it since the fourth grade he's had nothing else but sadness all the kids in the neighborhood have had it he's seen their broken dreams he sees what killing means to them.
One day after school out popped Mr. Cool and threw a rock straight at Billy's head. Billy reached into his bag showed Jim what he had pulled the trigger and shot big Jim dead
Don't mess with Billy 'cause Billy says he's had it since the fourth grade he's had nothing else but sadness all the kids in the neighborhood have had it he's seen their broken dreams he sees what killing means to them.
When the police came to the crime sight they found Billy with a grin a mile wide he'd wiped that look right off of Jim's face and put it on his. The next day Dunn went to the station. He said, "Billy man you're the reason, that all the kids can come out and play again without big Jim."
Wrap your fingers 'round this now I've heard things about you Walking the halls we know so well No way that could be true You got a girl, said she's a model Sounds like you've got big bravado
I'd like it if they'd only tell it like it was I wouldn't mind, but my mind's making such a fuss! Am I the only one inside here?
Got a job and you make 800 grand Selling used Isuzus If the guy on the stage is your best friend Am I backstage with you? You got a girl, said she's a model Sounds like you've got big bravado
Maybe tomorrow when it's said and done It's all state of mind We can make these walls come down and leave it alone, leave it alone
I have waited for you Every morning Self supporting I deploy and listen for it now
It gets written on your face And then you go to face it Let's embrace it Or erase it now
Liar
I think that something funny Happened to me I said I think that something funny Happened to me I said I think that someone should erase this Or just face it
This a situation Understated, complicated Don't avoid the issue What's the cause?
It's so written on your face When you go to face it Let's embrace it Or erase it now
I was always holding on Involving us, recalling Waiting for that moment to arrive
Eleven O'Clock Too late for cartoons I'm going back to bed There's nothing to do I've got my dreams on my mind They seem so real I'm gonna try and bring 'em back Cuz they were sik as hell I was the first in line I had all kinds of time All the drags of the world Were far far behind I had a peaceful tone With everyone I know Didn't have to take a number Just to get a coffee
Here I go I'm falling back to sleep
Yesterday morning I slept until noon Cuz when I woke up at eight I wasn't done what I was doin' I had a dream going on It seemed so real So I fell back to sleep To have another feel
She wore a silky dress She wore her hair a mess When the time was right She didn't make me guess She had the Maxwell on It was her favorite song Not about to get up To see this moment gone
You can call me fall I like my cigarettes and alcohol usually I'm so loaded I don't think This si the one that's got me tied this is the one that blows my mind I've quit the drugs and now I think I'm jinxed
It's all these angles in my mind keep on taking all my time I wish they'd just let me be I've been scared for sometime about this job I have in line I think it could be my final feat
Here I go again I have a feeling this could be the end now everyone is looking right at me every stunt I've always met it I'm the one who deserves the credit but lately the directors don't agree.
It's all these angles in my mind keep on taking all my time I wish they'd just let me be I've been scared for sometime about this job I have in line I think it could be my final feat
I don't know who to turn to I don't know who to tell I don't know if I can handle I don't know if I can show I keep thinking crazy things and I don't know what they mean but for now I guess I'll just have to fake it.
You can call me fall I like my cigarette and alcohol I've almost taken everything I could I'm the one taking all the dives I'm the one who never dies but lately I've been wondering if I should
It's all these angles in my mind keep on taking all my time I wish they'd just let me be I've been scared for sometime about this job I have in line I think it could be my final feat
I don't know who to turn to I don't know who to tell I don't know if I can handle I don't know if I can show.
I met a girl with awkward moments of beauty And all her moments in between were too She's got a smile that takes me elsewhere
She tells me dumb ass jokes And sings songs out of tune She's got that so much life Her spirit fills up a room She's got a tattoo on the low end
You should see this girl You should see this girl She's my sunny eyed girl You should see this girl You gotta se her You should see this girl She's like diamonds and pearls You should see this girl You've gotta see her
I met a girl with awkward kinds of moods And all her moods in between were cool She says she likes to keep me on my toes
Policeman smoking pot in the parking lot of a cocktail bar Rockstar junkie dies of an overdose at 27 We watch it on the tube and listen to it on the radio The thing that baffles me are the things we cannot see
What we gonna read tommorow? Something that we see today Guns and tears and sorrows What will the headlines read today?
Man of 65 says he's gonna die by the hand of her Points to a Street woman who's had too much to drink She chased him into a bank where he screamed call Nine one one The thing that baffles me are the things we cannot see
Party winding down Then a sudden frown Over a bottle of wine She said, "That's mine" then a sudden crack She smashed his face
I guess it can't be seen! What will the headlines be today?
I got a problem with confrontation There's too much on my mind I feel my shoulders getting seriously heavy And my patience has died
I got alot on my head And I'm wondering will it ever end
I can taste the tension getting inside me Felt it now for a week All the travelling's got me tired and angsty Need to get me some sleep
I started drinkin' 'bout a quarter to three I thought it would help with stress I started thinking about the problems that be And now my head is a mess
They had a seaside suite on the weekend of the 4th of July He had a chocolate treat for every tear she cried Then she fell down by the hand of him As she fell down She said, "Here we go again." And, "It's not my fault this time." As if it ever was before He's got her where he wants
In the palm of his hand He's effortless In the palm of his hand She's helpless, but She feels safe when he's around But she knows it won't be long (Until she sees this side of him again.)
She's been down this road a thousand times before He always seems to come through before she's out the door But not this time she said, "I'm gonna take my life back from him."
Where is time 'cause you're feeling much older I'm alive and living with your cold shoulder You say those days are over, I say they've just begun!
It's been awhile and I got carried away You're bored and you've had your fun Don't say those days are over Because mine have just begun.
I've seen my little brother Freaking out and seeing colors Feeling green with jealousy I'm seeing red and Olivelawn
All Along
Is it me or is your mind getting hollow? In need of leading and you need to be my follow How we were that summer Instead you seem much older now Instead you treat me colder now
Where's my friend, I think he's running away From all the things we've done Wanna get you back up here But you're already gone
Heard about the others They're at home and being lifeless Forgot to read a magazine I guess my constitution's strong
On a sunny day I can see forever On a sunny day I used to dream for miles Upon this hill, where we met Under blue skies She said goodbye Left me behind Now here I am
I should've won a purple heart I would've got it overseas I asked her would she be my bride In my broken Japanese But when I looked into her eyes I knew that it could never be She said goodbye Left me behind Now here I am
I should've seen it from the start Before I went on bended knee Her tattoo of a headless snake Is that what she's suppose to be? But if I had another chance I wouldn't act so foolishly She said goodbye Left me behind Now here I am
Our systems are all go No one here's getting pigeon holed There's a free line to where we go Where anything is possible We're alright Cause we do what we do and we do it every night All right Everyone's got opinions of what's right
But we do what is inside and still the people will decide
But we're free from disease We're free from your pigeonhole disease We're gonna do as we please Cause that's right
I can feel it We're in the know Since being jaded by the business world We don't fit in We don't want in But we know we're never gonna break the chain alright In looking back, we'd do it all again But in the future We're not gonna be labeled victims

Not long ago there was a time when everything would blow my mind. Then I learn a bit more, it cancelled everything I learned before. I say hey (hey), I don't know what I'm doin'. I should have planned on my class reunion. I been workin' on my vision and clarity. This is how it was meant for me.
