The Stranger 05:47
Who's that man looking back at me? Fuck he never tried In that mirror so much fear is Written in his eyes And I don't care if I ever get home Cause I never really been Once I looked in my father's eyes And realized I was him Who's that cop pulling back of me? Fuck too drunk to drive Rearview mirror so much clearer Now I'm doing time And I don't care for your attitude Bitch cause I'm a man 5.0 bleeding highway speeding Catch me if you can In the space below Where you won't go I found it there You hid away You can't cover all the tracks you laid And in the darkness I woke to see Another stranger Staring back at me He said hello sir How do you do? It's been a long time since I knew

I Don't Mind 04:36
Whatcha doin tonight I got money to burn Say goodbye forever cause you'll never learn Were you doin it right did you need it again Sister out of time up till 5 am What's the price you paid now nobody's home If the dark is heaven when you're all alone It's a beautiful lie as you drift away With the memories of youth as an empty page Some days are cold some are gray I'm old I'm broken turn me away I left the station you sat afraid Only one thing left to say Hello friend I'm out to sea What other things you don't like about me Midnight eyes, limousines I don't mind it Some days are cold some are gray I'm old I'm broken turn me away I count to 7 you sat afraid Only one thing left to say Never again I'm out of time You told the truth but I wish you lied Midnight eyes, limousines I don't mind it

Empty 05:36
All alone in her room but she's ready to go Wipes a tear, dressed to kill now she's ready to show Our time it gets taken away Our time it gets taken away I feel like you do but you don't even care What's the difference anyway you walk away downstairs Our time it gets taken away Our time it gets taken away I don't feel like I'm empty I don't feel like you care But if you had a lover I would take him away Put him on his knees as he begins to pray I don't feel like you're empty I don't feel like I care If I had a lover would you just walk away Or is this kiss cause you don't know what to say? All alone in my room now I'm ready to go Cut my ties, close my eyes now there's nobody home Our time it gets taken away Our time it gets taken away I feel like you do but you don't even care What's the difference in the end you're not even there Our time it gets taken away Our time it gets taken away

Confession 04:55
Help me father say a prayer I'm gonna make your sons and daughters beware Seasons are sweet but not for certain I am the man behind the curtain Forgive me mother please take care No one lives their life like John Sinclair Seasons change and so did I Breathe it all around you till the end of time Don't push don't pull don't drag me under This face this spell this love asunder Don't wish this kiss I give untrue I never ever meant to hurt you Tell me brother you say your prayer? I'm gonna make it so nobody care Seasons are sweet but not for certain I am the man behind the curtain Forgive me sister what I've done No one knows the rules when they are young Seasons change and so did I Confessions in the shadows till the end of time

In The Dark 07:11
I've been walking in slow motion staring at the sun I'm looking for a hole through the barrel of a gun I'm sifting through the tide of an open ended storm Walking in a circle no one left to warn I'm in the dark I've been looking for an answer reading all the stars There's no one looking down pretending from afar This patience is a virtue but winter's setting in Your facts are simple fiction of questions that begin In the dark No one's coming home and the truth is you're alone In the dark Lately I've been feeling down and out Only lonely time and time again Maybe I've been down this road before This time it seems It's all too much to bear I've been laughing to myself as the story just gets worse I guess you're just offended by every single verse There's nothing left for me to say that Bowie can't say better Burn away the ties that bind as I destroy your letters In the dark No one's coming home and the truth is you're alone In the dark
6.
Sun don't shine forever Poets lose their rhyme Keep your paranoia She says as she waves goodbye Once I built The Tower Now you're trapped inside Once thing I should tell you This is the kind of revenge I like Party dreams to nowhere Keep on sinning blind You said that you loved me But that was just a lie Once I found religion You stood there paralyzed Just don't ask me questions God don't have the time I was a stranger but to her I was wild I tried to listen through the pain in her smile Oh come on honey if you ever even loved me This world is fading fast it's The sedative of ceremony Youth won't last forever Each day another line God loves to destroy Her pretty people out of time Come down to the river Why don't you stay the night? And although I'll miss you Pictures soak in black and white

No Fever 07:53
She's somewhere on the open road Cigarette hanging out the window I turn to you and laugh Bad attitude or just a bad habit? Heart's beating and I can't resist No more time and no witness I burn like you believe And I remember Everything God smiled as she drove away Disappointed no one saved I turn to you and laugh Bad attitude or just a bad habit? No one's sleeping but I can't resist One more time I'll bear witness I burn just like you bleed And I remember Everything No temperature no fever Sun come out today but no reason Lord give me time to walk the line of A new pretender He's somewhere on the open road Tattooed arm out the window I turn to you and laugh Bad attitude or just a bad habit? Breaks laws can't resist One more time with no witness I learn like you believe And I remember Everything
