well i don’t know
where i’ve been lately
but i’ll come around
with the morning sun
well i don’t know
who i’ve been lately
but i’ll come around
with the morning sun
my youth is gone
my roots are on fire
[chorus]
on a rainy day
left to contemplate the one that got away
and her friend with the mischievous eyes
shot you down and bled the laughter from your life
well i don’t know
where i’ve been lately
but i’ll come around
with the morning sun
well i don’t know
who i’ve been lately
but i’ll come around
with the morning sun
my youth is gone
my roots are on fire
i'm on fire
[chorus]
it’s what you know not how you feel inside
it’s what you know
you sold your soul
you sold your soul for a buck

they put you inside a frame
picture perfect shame
let the suburban view inside your room
far the city burns with cold vitality
it’s dead and its peaceful here
come near me
harvest beliefs
wrench out your weeds
fulfill your needs
somewhere bands are playing songs
i can hear them through the trees
drunken howls and melodies
downtown the grass is greener
downtown
[repeat]

you’re so right
you put up a fight
you’re so kind
you're larger than life
[chorus]
find yourself a home
you will not take what you don’t own
you better find yourself a wife
settle down and watch the lighting across the sky
i got a better half good luck trying to find it
till then i give you half of what you knew you could get
you got no right to laugh when i get so upset
if you want this bird to sing, better build her paper wings
she’s got intentions that are noble as can be
poisoned by herself and her mind’s own cavalry
i’d love for you to stay but i'd like for you to go
before you ride in to the night, don’t forget your neon lights
[chorus]

Gold

i got a pocket full of gold
won’t you come near me
got a fraying in my throat
sounds like a melody? we’ll see
that girl she looks like misery
i got a heart made out of coal
keep you warm inside my arms
got a zephyr in my brain that blows your memories afar
thank you have a nice day
no goodbyes they only wage wars
I had my eyes tainted in green
see the world through emeralds
hiding rupees in my sleeve
until I find my way back home
what this means to me
i don’t think you will ever know
gold, gold, gold

My Generation
03:40
|

yes we like to smoke we like to drink
newspapers are just old news and ink
little girls with lines across their face
tattooed looks of superficial grace
sometimes we can’t bear the skin we wear
look into the mirror, empty stares
yes we love to smoke we love to drink
excess information, hard to think
[chorus]
my generation is incomplete
my generation is fallen leaves
my generation always in need
my generation
is asleep
dreaming heavy dreams
of corporate trees
oil leaking seas
capital growing needs
blood tainted peace
we’ll wake up
eventually
media loves a ghost that they can dress
ads we’ll have a hard time to access
look inside our smokes inside our drinks
ah, guess we never really stood a chance
cause
[chorus]
