Streamlined with all the fear behind me
Slingshot me left it all and shot straight out alive
To find my way through deceptions sung to me
Blinders mass produced for free
I've been lost too confused to see the way
But my energy flows with the truth
I think of how these cold nights charge me entirely
Look and find myself in simple reactions of loyalty
I see my friends i feel my friends
We do the best we can in this dying world
I don`t know the ways you hide
You kill your insides
But I guess it`s easier to let things slide
Full on drive on rising lifting, this helps a soul to breathe
Say what you need to say keep talking all day
But at the crossroads you`ll just pick the safe way
In line outright careless wondering
This helps a soul to see is it safe to say you`ll get away
(With running)
You don`t want this war anymore
See what was wield and it shines on back to what blinds me
I don`t want to be blinded

To shed skin and begin
An intake that will make a difference in
Clear thinking for conquering
Any fear that is thrown in direction
When at a weak point or time of suffering
The edge won't quit if there is no giving in
To what drags on to be negative
Or seem wrong to live to carry back home

With full intent and better sense
To recognize what is false and part with it,
Knowing doubtless by instinct
Which triggers thought on how to grow

In soul without gold or praised lies

Which keep the sheep all right with anything
That seems safe and convenient

Hot Water Music - Just Don't Say You Lost It (Originally released in 1997)

Take a ride out of the city,
Not yet on empty.
I'm singing to myself,
Like I've done so many times.
'Cause you're not around to take a ride with me,
I'll ride the ride anyway.
You're not around at all
And I feel sick.

Wide awake, heaven's sake this time.
(I'm sunk and breaking up.)
Who's signing off? Who's had enough this time.
(You're done and we're breaking up.)

So don't think trust is flowing easy,
Now is when to question the questions.
When I used to trust you like I trust myself
And what is trust when it's not sacred?

And so what will you say
When it's time to cut me
Loose from your new life?
Don't say you lost it.

Just don't say you lost the feeling.
You lost it.
Just don't say you lost the feeling.
'Cause I'll bring it.

Prepare yourself for the moments
Of the breakdowns
Of the questions
This is what keeps us going down
So don't let it push us inside
This is what I despise
Is that treason
Since my days
I've learned some certain ways
To keep away from certain ways
It's what I've learned
It's what I've made
Sometimes I am put down
Nut I'm sure to stand up
Like a champion
Like a soldier
With strong will
Sure I think like anyone
About what is about to come
But what is the point in dwelling
When we all could be sharing
This is what I've learned and made
And I won't back down from my right of standing
Or from my choice of position

Even though you won't see what I'm seeing,
I would love for you to feel what I'm feeling:
The impact and the ease after.
Rest assured that the pain will fade.

Right outside the inspiration is told.
I'll carry on with what I know.

This is what I need for my sickness:
A transition to medium.
Breakaway from the world and stick to rhythm.
Rest assured that the pain will fade.

If I don't walk blindside
I'll roll right. (I'll roll right)
If I hold sight
I'll roll right. (I'll roll right)

I'm sure (I need a medium) we see (I need a medium)
That same way, (I need a medium. I need a balance)
Just not (I need a medium) from the (I need a medium)
Same place. (I need a medium.)

If I don't walk blindside
I'll roll (I'll roll right) right.
If I hold sight
I'll roll (I'll roll right) right.

Right. Right.

Go your own way, rid lies,
Burn the stitches that held your eyes shut.
Vacate and wonder, rid time,
Take off reminders and strive to shine.

You said you've got it, and I believe that you've got it,
And that you'll survive.

Our hearts have exchanged the gifts that carry
Carry us over the walls,
The walls that blind us, the walls that bind us,
The walls that stand too tall to conquer alone.

Bring back your wisdom to trade, bring back the words you've saved
And teach me so that I may teach on.

We reach, we learn. We don't, we burn,
Burn on the inside as well as out.
we search to solve how to not dissolve
On the inside as well as out.

So you're at war with yourself
With space (and time) you'll find a breakthrough.
If you don't lose what's real
You have our blessing.

Clear your conscience and ride away.

If you hear this I hope it eases
Some troubles you left with.
And I'm not sure what to say but I think I would,
Would've known that last day.
You said you had
The goals to come out on top, to set you up
To live untouched
By all the things that kept you from keeping up.

Then we heard and we hurt
And we scorned.
We burned for last words
Now lost. (You were our friend.)

The silence we sat through.
The break throughs, the laughter,
The shelter and the future
You planned on - I'll miss them.

I hope you're in a better place
With soul set free.
I hope you're still singing loud
With soul set free.
Too bad you're not around
For us to see,
But I still feel you around
Like you never left us.

I will forgive but I won't forget.
I will no confirm living stains.
We were locked, we had a lot;
At times I'd say we had it all.
Three summers strong, three summers gone.
Love/hate on rooftops and everywhere down below.
But I still care, but I'm more aware --
Trusting gut before your word that was of worth.
Sorry you hurt but you've brought it all upon yourself.
What's there to say when it's all been said out loud?
Why do you break yourself down and stay close to the ground?
Stand yourself up now.
I'm stepping out and catching a foothold that's stronger than ever.
Who's to blame shouldn't be a care.
What's done is done -- go from there and recuperate from past mistakes.
We have a choice from rise or fall.
Strong ties are made by communication and gravity.
The memories of you and I are full of pain that can't be erased.
The struggle we couldn't hide, that burned us up, that turned us inside out, has been closd but not thrown away.

Connections with systems
Belly up before I'm up and running
Scratching off what leaves me in the dirt
Ready and willing with hands that I can't stop killing
I still feel left down in the dirt
But I'll run
I'm up now but still weighed down
Completions don't always come easy
When you've gathered much
Too much to move
I've got to start the leveling out my anger
Side for side
I've got to start with one reach at a time
And i'll roll on through the remnants
Of what i've come to know
Roll on through and find what we can
By sifting through the ashes
It's time to find the exits

Complications followed us on clear lines.
We tried to push forward but we're still behind hard times.
As we watched it unfold, the roads were long, we still trudged on.
The sun was strong but we held on.
Blood lung was beat and so were we, but as we drove away we thought of those days and what made them.
Thanks to the people who cared enough to take us in, put us up, give us hope, let us know we're not alone.
Thanks to the people who shared and helped us feel intact to come back, shake it off, and ride to rock again.

It's a lesson I didn't mind learning the hard way.
