To The Wolves

I got this million dollar itch, gonna get us gone, gonna set us saved
I keep it on a handkerchief, on account of the boss, never looking away
It’s gold, if you could only see
But I know there’s something stopping me
Chorus:
I’m looking for a name
And I’d feed you to the wolves, I’d feed you to the wolves
If you only showed your face
I’d feed you
Cause you know you’re the one to blame
I am no supermodel’s son, I open doors, all on my own
I got no Rockefeller blood, when the dollar is done, then the dollar is done
And I know there’s a hand above
Grabbing the gold, leaving none for us
Chorus
Can you tell me when five o’clock does strike
And I feel salvation in the freedom of the night
Why can’t I feel the cloth burning a hole inside my pocket
Instead I hear the clock burning the minutes til tomorrow
Chorus

Blind

Tell me why, the dreams I dream are never bout the sky, but my shoes untied
And the painting on my ceiling never dries. I think it’s time.
I’ll run, cause I’ve been told I’m faster than the sun, yes I hold my own
But the shoes I use are never good on ground, so I’d better not.
I been singing my song, I been singing all along
I don't wanna be blind, but I don’t wanna see
I’ll row, faster than the Mississippi flows, I’ll row and row
But I see the sea is bigger than my boat, now I just don’t know
I been singing my song, I been singing all along
I don't wanna be blind, but I don’t wanna see what I’m doing to me
I’ll dream, of the tallest grass tickling my feet, and the swells of the strongest sea, and all the growing glory in between, I’ll dream and dream.
I been singing my song, I been singing all along
I don't wanna be blind, but I don’t wanna see what I’m doing to me

All Night Dynamite

Lost Ross sink your costs, let that diary die
Your rocknroll’s got ways to go and it ain’t because of Papa’s pride
Thrill Jill, take your body off the runway line
Your locks not gold, your eyes not bold, it ain’t because everybody’s blind
Won’t you please get off your knees?
Chorus:
All these cities, all these towns, shake your sorry bones
All you suckers, all you clowns, shake your sorry bones
Get your all night dynamite
I was not born with kettle corn, no butter on my bread
Got fighting on my fingertips, surrender in my head
When I see the sky, I don’t ask why, I just praise the Lord for His word
And someone that I’ve never seen said something I never heard
Won’t you please get off your knees?
Chorus
Way on down the line, when I’m well below the sun
Please judge me on what I have said, not on what I have not done
Chorus

Salt Of The Sea
05:16

The chair by the cracked TV
Shedding threads where your cans convene
While you say “son, take a look at your hands,
They can climb the highest mountain in this land.”
Neath his gaze and the TV stand
I find newspapers, tattered and tanned
Dated 1997, they been waiting, to be found
Papa your eyes speak louder than your sage advice
Your deeds speak louder than your guiding light
And I appreciate the effort but you never were a very good liar,
Neither am I
Saying we’re only the salt of the sea
I peek at the family frame, at the bottom of the stairs
It never seems straight, even if you care
I wait for it soon to fall, but I know it won’t, I know it won’t
When all I can ever do determined by what’s already done
We can shuffle all we want with a deck stacked from day one
The lies we prize, the stories we glorify, all deny that
We’re only the salt of the sea
Once more, while the TV bleeds
I shut my eyes, see the sea
I rise, hands free
I will not be
Only the salt of the sea
