Where We Are Right Now

High Society

This machine it runs so cold
It’ll take ‘em young, it’ll make ‘em old
It wears a suit but I’m not sold
On high society

You’re just a puppet on a string
Up high on your throne you’ve just gone insane
Your empty words don’t mean a thing
High society

Mirror mirror on the wall
Sometimes the devil can be so banal
Who made ‘em kings I can’t recall
High society

What a noble lie for such a peaceful war
How can up be down and disease the cure
But two and two is still four I’m sure
High society

This machine it runs so cold
It’ll take ‘em young, it’ll make ‘em old
Sometimes the bottom gets so low
In a high society, high society, high society

Don’t Wake Me

Oh sweet night now take me up high
Down the moon river so soft and divine
It may be a dream but I’m so alive
Don’t wake me, at least not tonight

I know I’ve been here a time or two
I’d stay forever but I can only pass through
Don’t know where I’m going but I’m flying high
Don’t wake me until I arrive

I don’t always think about you
But I feel so joyful on days that I do
Never seen your face smiling so bright
Don’t wake me, at least not tonight

Ain’t ever known a night to treat me so kind
Don’t wake me, I’m so alive

Sweet moon angel take me tonight
Take all my troubles and bring me to life
Don’t know where I’m going but I’m flying high
Don’t wake me until I arrive

Don’t wake me
Don’t take me
Don’t make me
Don’t wake me
I’m so alive

Muck & Mire

One night I had a dream that I was on a mountain
In the distance there were voices all around
They were all around

It could’ve been my blood that went before me
Said boy it’s time to lay your trouble down
Lay your troubles down

It’s a mighty hard lesson that your learning
One that could put you in the ground
Put you in the ground

But if your way were ever gonna get to working
It surely would’ve been by now
Would’ve been by now

You went and set your soul on fire
Now you’re too far in to turn around
You’re stuck in the muck and the mire
There is only one way to get out

It appears you lost yourself and your direction
Back when it got windy ‘round the bend
Around the bend

If you were gonna save what’s left of your discretion
It surely would’ve been back then
Would’ve been back then

So cast your troubles and just get on in the water
You’re chasing something that no longer can be found
It’s time to lay it down

You went and sent your soul on fire
Now you’re too far in to turn around
You’re stuck in the muck and the mire
We have come to get you out

It’s a mighty hard lesson that you’re learning
One that could put you in the ground
It looks like you’re chasing something
That no longer can be found
You went and set your soul on fire
Now you’re too far in to turn around
You’re stuck in the muck and the mire
There is only one way to get out

Where We Are Right Now

I know that you can’t see it, but we’ve come a long long way
Your smile conceals a worry as you doubt your place
I know you’ve got your dreams, and at times they seem so far
But the only way to reach ‘em is from right here where we are

The path it has been heavy, I know it’s been full of pain
But worrying about tomorrow, it’s just added weight
I wanna go to where we are right now

There will be cold lonely mountains up ahead along the way
But we aren’t quite yet there so right here is where I’ll stay
There is a divine silence, you can touch it if you sit real still
And a power deep within you, there’s nothing quite as real

If the future ain’t unwritten you still can’t get there for free
And the past is just a graveyard, it will always be
I wanna know where we are right now
I wanna go where we are right now
To where we are right now

We have come so far to get to where we are
We have come apart, let’s get to where we are
We have come so far to get to where we are
We have come apart, let’s get to where we are
We have come so far, let’s get to where…
I wanna know where we are right now
I wanna go to where we are right now

Yesterday and tomorrow are both places we can’t be
It just doesn’t matter, only truth will set us free
I wanna know where we are right now
I wanna go to where we are right now
I wanna know where we are right now
I wanna go where we are right now
Where we are right now

Too Far Gone

Saw her just the other night in her favorite shirt
She said that she missed but and I said the same to her
To tell the truth I was lying, didn’t feel a thing
I’m on the other side of hurting, it’ll never be the same

Well I’m too far gone for way too long
Wish I could still say it’s a possibility
I’m on the other side of healing
Too far gone to make believe

There’s so much in this world that’s just too tough to be discerned
But it’s clear that the system’s broke, the wolves they have returned
What they’re calling normal’s pathologically absurd
On the other side of saving, too far gone to make it work

There was a time that I believed in authority
But the myths they sold me don’t align with truth and history
You can call me crazy but you can’t lie to me
On the other side of knowing you can’t unsee what you have seen

Well I’m too far gone for way too long
Wish I couldn’t still say it’s a possibility
I’m on the other side of knowing, too far gone to make believe

Freedom don’t come easy, it’s a choice I make each day
Mostly it’s an inside job, for me the only way
I know I could blot out the sun, yea I could find a way
But I lived that dead life long enough to know that it don’t pay

I’m grateful for family, grateful for my friends
I’m grateful for the darkest roads I thought would never end
Cuz the led me to a higher love and taught me to let go
So I’m grateful I was too far gone to make it home alone

Now when the devil tries to buy me out I know it ain’t for me
I’m on the other side of hurting, too far gone to make believe

Gasoline

I know a girl who fuels my fire
Never tires with her desire
She’s my gasoline

We can go anywhere
From San Antone up to nowhere
She’s my gasoline

When thoughts are heavy and drive me mad
She takes where it ain’t that bad
She’s my gasoline

When I’m broke and can’t place a bet
She’ll give me her last cigarette
She’s my gasoline
My gasoline

She gets me where I need to go
When I get stuck and the signs are broke
She’s my gasoline

She says life’s crazy and it ain’t fair
But if I run out in the middle of nowhere
She’s my gasoline

When she hates me oh how it hurts
She lights a match and makes it worse
She’s my gasoline

She’ll right me if I get wrong
Always first to like my new song
She’s my gasoline
My gasoline

I know a girl who fuels my fire
Heart as pure as the Texas sky
She’s my gasoline

We can go anywhere
Just hit the road and I don’t care
She’s my gasoline

When my world gets upside down
She gets real turns me inside out
She’s my gasoline

She goes for broke when she makes her bets
And says boy you ain’t seen nothing yet
She’s my gasoline
My gasoline
My gasoline
My gasoline
My baby she’s my gasoline
My gasoline

Up In Smoke

I wish
I wish I had a time machine to go back and undo the hurt I’ve caused
And search for those I’ve lost

I wish
I wish I hadn’t wasted so much time inside the cage of my own mind
Yea it’s a crime

I fear
I fear so many little things most of which never come to pass
If so they don’t last

Like what if
What I die before I can become what I’ve long wanted to
And do all I want to

But then I
I find that when I’m with you for a moment
All my fears go up in smoke
They go up in smoke

And I know
When I’m with you anywhere all my ghosts
They go up in smoke
They go up in smoke

There’s times
I wake up in a panic thinking that my time has all but been run out
And that gets me down

There’s times
I find there’s so much distance between who I am and who I’m supposed to be
But then I see

And I know
I know that when I’m with you for a moment
All my fears go up in smoke
Go up in smoke

When I’m
When I’m with you anywhere
All my ghosts they go up in smoke
They go up in smoke

I know
I know that when I’m with you for for a moment
All my fears go up in smoke
They go up in smoke

When I
When I’m with you anywhere all my ghosts
They go up in smoke
They go up in smoke

A Reckoning

These are crimes against the rising sun
And soon you’ll reckon with what you’ve done

Cuz in the morning they’ll be coming for you
Cuz in the morning they’ll be coming for you

Cuz down the road they found the gun
You’d better pray she was the only one

The moon is high for now you can run
But you won’t hide from the rising sun

You let your head get a bit big
Now you must reckon with what you did

Cuz In the morning they’ll be coming for you
Yea in the morning surely you’ll be through

The moon is high for now you can run
But you won’t hide from the rising sun

The moon is high but you’ll soon be done
Cuz these are crimes against the rising sun

 

Drive

Who’s gonna tell you when it’s too late?
Who’s gonna tell you things aren’t so great?

You can’t go on thinking nothing’s wrong, oh oh
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight?

Who’s gonna pick you up when you fall?
Who’s gonna hang it up when you call?
Who’s gonna pay attention to your dreams?
Yeah, who’s gonna plug their ears when you scream?

You can’t go on thinking nothing’s wrong, oh oh
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight?

Who’s gonna hold you down when you shake?
Who’s gonna come around when you break?

You can’t go on thinking othing’s wrong, oh oh
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight?

You know you can’t go on thinking nothing’s wrong
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight?
