Pieces Of Me New for 2016!Album LyricsLIFT ME UP
Hold me up when my fight’s conceding Shut the door when I try leaving Lighten me up when my bones feel heavy When I’m lost, please come get me When life starts spinning around and spinning around Starts draggin me down again I fall to the ground You don’t make a sound you just lift me up Focus me when my site is blurring Steady me when my heart starts swerving Talk me down when I feel heady Be my rock when I’m unsteady I promise you I will not fail you, I will not let you down again And I promise I will do my best to get back on my feet again and then . . . PIECES OF ME You left pieces of me standing there Our hands were freezing, nerves were bare I'll not forget the things you said, They burned a hole inside my head Is it too much to ask of you To beg and plead you change your view of me I lashed out at you, I'm not proud The voice inside my head so loud, I lost control and aimed at you I shot and fired before I knew It was too much to ask of me Take a breath and see you Bang bang there goes another round In poisoned words we both could drown this time Bang bang here we go again, no matter how long it has been No one will win this fight, tonight So here I sit alone again, My looking glass paper and pen I'm sorry for the things I did, I'd love to take them back instead Apologies are all we have and I'd prefer we not look back at all Step out the ring, take off our gloves We both have scars from playing rough all bets are off, I'm tapping out The bell just rang you won this bout So take my hand and walk with me I blinded, you blinded me too No Story books will tell the truth Happily ever after is a ruse Love's bit is sweet but can leave a bruise. But I still choose you. Hit The Road I’ve got a ticket on my car – but I can’t stop myself from writing I better get some sleep tonight cause tomorrow I’ll be driving From Luxembourg to Germany, From Germany to Belgium I only stop for Gasoline so I don’t lose my momentum Ohhhhhhhhh – Gotta Goooooo and Get on the Road So I head out of my hotel room and now 201 is vacant Toss all my bags into the trunk, no time to rearrange em From winding road to highway lines, my little engine purrin I go from car to stage to car to stage – with all the venues blurring Ohhhhhhhhhh – – I’ve got to Goooooooo HIT The Road Sometimes traction slips until you take the wheel Only driving shines the light on how you feel And if you’re lucky you might crash into the truth Cause in the end, all roads, they lead on back to you I’ve got one show left before I go, I’ve got loads of heart to give it Flying high on life and just the fact that I do this for a living The sights, the sounds, and my new friends I met along the way It’s time to say goodbye to them so I can leave later today Oohhhhhhhhhhhh – Gotta Gooo – HIT on the road Gotta Get Out Turn Back To You I was a Mile a minute kind of kid, Not so proud of some things I did or didn’t do I learned to run from trouble, run from friends I burned my bridges at both ends looking for you You can see all parts of me – the good the best, the worst in me it’s true And I knew it from the start that it felt different in my heart to be with you It’s been a hard road Believing that I deserve love And all the seeds I’ve sown are cemented in my make-up But I know now that I’ll Turn back to you When things get rough on the road I’ve taken I always hit the gas instead of breaking down It’s a lesson learned from the ones I loved that When things go wrong, you just don’t stick around. So I think I’ve found what I came here for I have shattered these walls and I’ve busted doors to get to you I won’t run from trouble or run from friends I’m here to stick it out to the bitter end to be with you But I know that I deserve you. ZOMBIE Look to the left and seek to the right Longing for Contact, but there's none in sight for me They're walking like Zombies, programmed like drones No man's search for meaning, unless it's found on their phones for free. No one can hear me, no one can see me Gave you a poke, I liked your pic, so pay it back now Let's play a game, here's what I say, it's just like crack now It's been so long since I last saw you, we should hang out Uh oh, my internet has gone down The virtual friendships we all seem to find, No time with our real friends, cause they're all on-line all the time Plugged in and checked out of what lies straight ahead Technology wins and presence is dead No one can hear me, no one can see me Gave you a poke, I liked your pic, so pay it back now Let's play a game, here's what I say, it's just like crack now It's been so long since I last saw you, we should hang out Uh oh, my internet has gone down EVERYWHERE BUT HERE Take all the time you need I’ll wait right here Your torn and trying to see Where your heart should be Where your heart should be I’m sitting in this house We used to share I’ve taken all your pictures down Now the walls are bare All my walls are bare And you are there And you are there And you are there Not here I think you’ve chosen her The signs are there But I see your face in things Everywhere, you’re everywhere You’re everywhere, everywhere, you’re everywhere But here Bridge: I saw the writing on the Wall |
I REFUSE TO Please be aware that I don’t really care for your stale wasted air that concerns what I’m writing It may seem unfair, or I’m blowing hot air or my brain is impaired or I have faulty wiring It must be said, though I’m sure you meant the best It might be nice to hear a sweet little song – but - I’m not like the rest It must be confessed that I really detest your insistent request that I change my direction I’ve had it assessed and this wound is absessed and it’s time to address this unsightly infection I’ll say it again though my time’s at an end, like a bow I will bend before shooting my arrow I’ll no longer mend, or consider you friend, that’s the price that you pay when your mind is so narrow And I can not, will not, choose to change a thing about me – I refuse to NICE TO MEET YOU It’s nice to meet you Show me a sign All it takes is a moment to make your eyes connect with mine I’d like to see you, so that you can see me What are we here for, let’s explore more the possibility I swear after all you’ve been through I could meet you note for note So take my hand, and sing with me this melody I wrote It’s nice to know you – I don’t feel so alone I’m drawn to you like a splint to a break, I feel it in my bones It’s nice to love you – you’re so shiny and bright We are connected and it feels so very right I swear after all you’ve been through I could meet you note for note So take my hand, and sing with me this melody I wrote NOVOCAINE Generation- Saddened youth Bloodied lip and broken tooth Fill them up with novacaine So that they will feel whole again They reach out with little hands So alone in quickened sand And instead of helping hold them up We hand out pills from Pfizer trucks The youth cry out with questions asked Fear of the future, shame of past Not sure why they should stay When pills won't make it go away They search for answers make them Make them wrong, feelings suppressed so they look strong Hide them make it go away So that they will appear ok IN ANOTHER LIFE Maybe in another life, I’d hop on my old cruiser bike and Ride around the town to find some other kids around and I would play outside all day, until the sky turned dusky grey, and ride back home again To mom and dad’s in Haarlem – Oh maybe in another life I’d grow up in a happy home and my last name would be Bohm I’d leave the house to roam, I’d travel far and wide and I’d Lead a simple life, just what I needed to survive and I would Settle down in a tiny town on the sandy coast of Dutch seaside Oh Maybe in another life We’d have a kid or maybe three, one giant happy family We’d be sipping cups of tea, under our own fig tree And I’d be turning grey, but life is kind of good that way cause All we got is time and time is all we give away Oh maybe, in another life – Oh maybe in another life BRIDGE: Some days I dream about packing all my bags to go Leave my tired life behind to head for the unknown There is a part of me in every place I’ve been I find the pieces, pick them up, bring them home and think again . . . OH Maybe . . . in another life |
