pass me that whiskey before I go insane whether your with me or not I'm getting on that train cause the demons in my head are screaming I'm drowning them in bourbon and the lesson I'm learning I hope I never forget but the way I've been living and drinking that aint to sure of a bet we knows these roads and we road these rails in n out of jail cells and 48' wells 53 times this year, I've come so near to falling apart mending myself together I havent got far well I cant keep a steady hand in a boxcar to the engineers that drive me from mind state to state well I hope you dont mind a little bit of extra weight on your mind to the railroad bulls that patrol the old rusty freight well I got myself a gift it a brand new can of paint and it might be your trainyard but thats my train and it might be your trainyard but thats my fucking train couple our knuckles together and lets start rolling couple our knuckles together and lets start pulling crack the lid off the bottle and lets start pulling tie the rope around his neck and lets start pulling pull the emergency brake until the rails are red and glowing smoking like an old steam train smoking like an old steam train

blowing smoke and chasing steel sometimes freedom we must steal for it to feel real waiting on the low hum roll slow who would pay to see how smooth it rolls breathe deep into the lungs freedom tastes just like the sun on your tongue songs are sung but wars are never won if we are one why cant we stare down the barrel of this gun and oh these walls some are bricks and some are alcohol some of them we cant even see at all some are hate, ignorance and rage either way we lock ourselves in our own fucking cage play your role, burn more coal the whole trainload full gag and choke on stagnant smoke the burning of the ancient bones wont you let this monster roll across the prairies wide iron, steel and diesel dreams mountain, steal my breath but not my life cold wind blows pick your car and count the bolts kill the crops dig the soul outta mountain tops happiness is a cold, cold gutter air brakes scream and engines sputter sister brother tell me where did we get lost?

Memorium 04:14
everything is a memory a remembrance of who we used to be but who are we now a memory well it never set never set nobody free moment fleeting, heavy breathing streaming serenity flood the mind shaking vibrations of passion and pain the midnight moon, well it rises high in the ancient sky illuminating a new waking tide a breath of a moment on meteor earth fresh, silent rebirth grow tall with the trees, be humble as the seeds grow tall with the trees, be humble as the seeds grow tall with the trees, be humble as the seeds grow tall X2 sprouting truth, a crisp clean validity inhale through the lung of humanity foreign energies appear violet in the deep dark forest of the night the illuminate the darkness one must look to a world beyond ours or wait until morning but mourning is for those in loss i will seize the blackness the deepest, darkness all colors exist all consuming to truly see, one must learn to be the see truth truly, one must close their eyes and i am not perfect, you are not perfect but we are absolute X3 everything is destiny a reminder of who were supposed to be but who are we now were destiny it always sets always sets always sets us free

Travel On 02:30
We've seen east, we've seen west north to south we've been arrested i detest this boring life that you expect of me we will travel on, we will travel on trying our damndest to be free scratch my song on a concrete wall with a broken bottle of alcohol freedom scribed on bathroom stalls but no one gives a shit just piss away the boring day dream away these walls of grey and you wonder why the fuck it is were screaming? maybe we'ed all be better off if we were asleep and dreaming. happiness is a funny thing, comfortably complacent im only happy when i spent my last dollar and fifty cents on tall cans of social lubrication fuck it all fuck this system, fuck the boring iron wall fuck yer laws and institutions, these buildings are pollution fuck you all, fuck your schisms, fuck this boring concrete wall sittingonthiscot fuckthecops fuck it all let it all rot let it rot why not? when all we have left is our stories when all we have left is our songs when all we have left is each other We Will Travel On....

you wake up in the morning to find yourself blind searching for something they call peace of mind but your looking at the world through everyone elses eyes i know that your just trying to survive lie, steal, cheat, kill, anything just to stay alive but your looking at the world through everyone elses eyes and you know these trains they roll by all night i once heard a story of a train that could fly when this lonely night is over you will find you wake up in the morning to find yourself blind searching for something they call peace of mind but your looking at the world through everyone elses eyes i know that your just trying to survive lie, steal, cheat, kill, anything just to stay alive but your looking at the world through everyone elses eyes and you know these trains they roll by all night well im gonna find me a train that can fly when this lonely night is over you will find
