Almost Alive at Front Street

Pressure on your brittle bones throws you on your back Disregard all your inner thoughts, feel your heartbeat in your tracks Love is not your enemy, seek your kindness, seek your trust Battlin' for your nothins, oh you gotta do, do what you must Lyin' pulls you through it now, and truth, truth it don't abide Things are getting heavy now, and just when, just when you caught your stride So you roll your stone to the top of the hill When you see it roll down better swallow the pill There's a trail in the grass where the stone been rolled You see it leads to the bottom where you sold your soul Kickin' dust, kickin' concrete, throbbin' pain inside your toe Immortality don't sound so good now, when time, time's your only foe You lost your rule and your throne now, you are the king of your rock Travelin' north for days now, the only bird left in your flock Sweat drips on your abdomen, a thirst roars inside your gut A light shines beyond your room, but the door, the door will never shut So you roll your stone to the top of the hill When you see it roll down better swallow the pill There's a trail in the grass where the stone been rolled You see it leads to the bottom where you sold your soul

Ain't got no interest in winter rest Ain't got no love for the summer fling Don't give a care for the autumn color Ain't got no time to talk about the spring Who's got the time to talk about the spring? If ain't livin' for the daily battle And I ain't fittin' in it like a glove Tell me when I'm gonna find a notion And when I'll lead a life to be proud of When will I lead a life to be proud of? I'm sayin' time is weighin' on me I need a push to set me free So come set me free baby 'Cause I need a push, push, push, push, push Never found much comfort in a warm embrace Never found no solace where they said it would be Was I deluded when they said it was out there? Am I to blame for my passivity? Maybe I'm to blame for my passivity I'm sayin' time is weighin' on me I need a push to set me free So come set me free baby 'Cause I need a push, push, push, push Pull me out of this hole that I've been livin' in It's been so long and my feet, they just keep diggin' in Pull me out of this hole that I've been livin' in It's been so long and my feet, they just keep diggin' in Oh lord I'm beggin' at ya Oh lord I'm beggin' at ya Yeah yeah yeah I'm sayin' time is weighin' on me I need a push to set me free So come set me free baby 'Cause I need a push, push, push, push, push, push, push

Our mother's old and she's counting her days She's feeling worn, have we lost our way? As the battles rage in the desert heat It's a story told by the prophets of greed There's a riot breaking out in the old town square There's no silence, only violence in the air So don't try to behave yourself Everybody knows you've gotta save yourself in the end You'll find a friend and we'll pretend that it's love again But we all know, we all know it's all for show Ain't no reason for to save that soul Just wear that smile for a while and you'll fit in We'll pretend that it's love again But everybody knows we all know it's all for show But we can pretend yeah / There's time I know It's time I know / To get us on track To get us back on track / To end the war What is it good for? Absolutely nothin' / And bring our lovin' back Yeah you know when love / Can you feel it? When it's in the air / Can you feel it baby? I'm singing all we got / All we got is our souls to share Is our souls to share / Don't conceal it, can you feel it? So let's all kick back / Yeah, let's all unwind Yeah, let's all unwind / Don't think you too hard now Don't you think too hard / No, free your mind Buddy, free your mind, yeah yeah yeah And don't you try to behave yourself Everybody knows you've gotta save yourself in the end You'll find a friend and we'll pretend that it's love again But we all know, we all know it's all for show Ain't no reason for to save that soul Just wear that smile for a while and you'll fit in So don't try to behave yourself Everybody knows you've gotta save yourself in the end You'll find a friend and we'll pretend that it's love again But we all know, we all know it's all for show Ain't no reason for to save that soul Just wear that smile for a while and you'll fit in We'll pretend that it's love again But everybody knows we all know it's all for show

So don't you feel so alone I need you like I need the holy ghost I know you love me But I need to know you know you need me close I need to know you know you need me close I need you like I need the holy ghost Holy, holy ghost It's four in the mornin', it's four in the mornin' Let let me me let let it it go I know that we're both crazy But it's gone too far and I need you to save me I can't do this on my own No, no, let it go

Put on your t-shirt Put on your jeans Tie up that bow tie Now you look real mean Pack up your suitcase Pack up your guns Load up them bullets We'll kill 'em by the tons I know we need redemption We gotta take 'em down We're lettin' justice fly We're takin' back this town Can I have your attention? Can I get some relief? It's gonna be a showdown That is my belief We'll fight 'em in the fields We'll fight 'em underground We will close them in Our brothers abound Are you feelin' rough now? Are you ready to ride? For we got to avenge All the ones who have died Not for the ones who love us But for the ones who don't They think we won't fight Like hell we won't Fight! We'll fight 'em in the fields We'll fight 'em underground We will close them in Our brothers abound Fight! Like hell, we won't Like hell, we won't We'll fight 'em in the fields / Like hell We'll fight 'em underground / We won't We will close them in/ Like hell Our brothers abound / We won't
