WHAT YOU GOT FOR ME
Three days after the rain all hope inside had died
The sun took all the blame
but I know deep down she lied
I can’t move and I can’t breathe
Clouds have anchored on my spine
The seers have warned me about this day
And now I’ve come what is mine
What you got for me, what you got for me
I don’t think you understand
We made a deal, we shook hands
What you got for me, What you got for
River Red, River Wild
Ran them Jewels on down the stream
Ripped my heart cold with a smile
Like a backwards fever dream
Eyes wide open to the skies
Past imperfect on my back
Everything will come to light
All the good will fade to black
What you got for me, what you got for me
I don’t think you understand
We made a deal, we shook hands
What you got for me
What you got for me, what you got for me
I don’t think you understand
Can’t mess around with this man
What you got for me, What you got for
Gonna get back what you took from me…

REVOLUTION (Here it Comes)
Hey you with the clicker finger.
How’s it going with that thing of yours.
You know…saving the world
Your latest manifest got them likes
But it’s got no get up and go
You’ve got the rock but ya ain’t got the soul
Hey now, mama! You’re always talking revolution
Look out here it comes
Go on and get some come on and get some
Hey no, brotha! You’re always talking retribution
Look out here it comes
Go on and get some come on and get some
Concrete under feet and cardboard in your hands
What’s your plan
Will a sign lead us to salvation?
Or a song to victory?
I think we need to see
it’s gonna take more than an anthem to get them
Look around
A boogie down princess stole the crown
I think she knows how to get down, get down
Hey now, mama! You’re always talking revolution
Look out here it comes
Go on and get some come on and get some
Hey no, brotha! You’re always talking retribution
Look out here it comes
Go on and get some come on and get some
Well I know you have one of them god hearts
With blue blood and all them guilty little parts
It’s just in the wrong place
So tear it off your sleeve
and take it to the streets with me
Let’s get them dirty boots on
It’s time to go
Let’s go
Hey now, mama! You’re always talking revolution
Look out here it comes
Go on and get some come on and get some
Hey no, brotha! You’re always talking retribution
Look out here it comes
Go on and get some come on and get some

SAFE WORD
I keep falling, falling, falling away, away from my destiny
I’m so far, so far of where I’m supposed, where I’m supposed, to be
The more I climb the mountain keeps getting high, keeps getting high, higher and higher
The more I’m honest I know I’m just a liar so why should I try, why should ev-en try
I can’t help - thinking that
I’m doing this all to myself
Can’t control this sinking feeling
Thank you and farewell
The fools keep saying that it’s all in my mind, all in my mind- where else would it be
My spirit’s dying and my soul’s outta time, so outta time, no more time
It isn’t real if it ain’t on the line, in someone timeline, in front of their eyes
Nobody’s moving and we’re losing the fight and out goes the light, out goes the light
I can’t help - thinking that
I’m doing this all to myself
Can’t control this sinking feeling
Thank you and farewell
I guess this is goodbye

SAVE YOURSELF
You’ve always been a fighter,
never afraid to bleed
Lookin’ out for others, lookin’ out for me
You’ve taken some beatdowns
And you’ve lost your way
I’m here to tell you it’s a brand new day
You’ve got to save yours elf and find your soul
So you can set it free and let the lovin’ grow
And when you get that love give it away
Don’t look back just lead the way
You’ve had some of your dreams stolen or had
Some thieves are strangers who are nice
Others are friends who are bad
Here you are on the other side
A little scarred but still strong
I think I know where you should look
To right the wrong
You’ve got to save yourself and find your soul
So you can set it free and let the lovin’ grow
And when you get that love give it away
Don’t look back just lead the way
You know the I love you with all that I’ve got
Might be too much to hold on to
But it will never be enough
So reach deep down inside
And pull everything out
Fill up all them pages
That the book of your life will allow
You’ve got to save yourself and find your soul
So you can set it free and let the lovin’ grow
And when you get that love give it away
Don’t look back just lead the way

Your Love is a Fist

YOUR LOVE IS A FIST
I’m just trying to get through the day
And you take over in every way
Don’t understand the grip that you got
All I know is what it is not
Everything this thing’s supposed to be
In the smallest doses possible you give to me
Tied up like a dog on a leash
I bark and bite because I get no release
You got me scratchin’ and clawin’
Trying to fight my way out
But when I do I realize I can’t live without
Baby your love is a fist
A blow to the head that’s hard to resist yeah
Baby your love is a fist
TKO in every kiss yeah
You’re love is a
You say I’m crude and I need to behave
What can I do when I live like a slave
Handcuffed to your insecurity
I promise I’ll be good if you would just set me free
Instead I’m in cage til the day that I die
You hand the only hope that keep me alive
And when I finally get to feel your touch
I give in to every punch
BRIDGE and CHORUS (chorus TWICE)
Suckerpunch, Uppercut, Left Hook, Right

THE FEELS
Walking up before the sun - Small price to pay
For my own room on the porch with all of the screens
Grab my stash and put Prince in the Walkman
The Chucks hit Evergreen for breakfast at the King
Stroll with my brotha to Rock you can’t stoppa
In the best Chevette you can afford at 16
Check all the girls are they smilin’ are they laughin’?
Doesn’t matter ‘cause if they’re smilin’ it ain’t at me
Standin’ on the Ave thinkin’ ‘bout them days
We were wild we were free
Standin’ on the Ave gettin’ all kinds of feels
Where my dreams, where my dreams used to be…
Pelican’s for a pierce and a tat
Dressed in black in 99 East Coast degrees
Step inside Al Franklin’s with the fellas
Gaze at the covers (ooh) and take advantage of the AC
Daydreamin’ at Melody Music
We can’t afford a damn thing so they always ask us to leave
The distance from CVS to the Cool Moose
Is XY Eli struttin’ with a guitar down the street
Standin’ on the Ave thinkin’ ‘bout them days
We were wild we were free
Standin’ on the Ave gettin’ all kinds of feels
Where my dreams, where my dreams used to be…
I remember certain clouds, certain darkness
All alone just me, me and my radio
CCC’s got Ace Frehley around the corner
I grab Kiss Alive, my jacket, and I get up and go
He signs my record, puts me on the list for the Agora
I’ve got a long walk back so “Shock Me” is my cue to leave
Underage, I sneak into the Comet
Dollar beers and the cutest Goth girls I’ve ever seen
Standin’ on the Ave thinkin’ ‘bout them days
We were wild we were free
Standin’ on the Ave gettin’ all kinds of feels
Where my dreams, where my dreams used to be…

I lie awake but I can't see
This transformation that's within me
I feel two heartbeats pound inside
One is dying one's alive...
