I've been too long stuck inside city limits
Too long, always playing safe
It's too calm and it's too damn sheltered
I can't wait to leave this place
Right now, break away
Rolling toward the thunder
Chasing down thrill today
Running to the rain, hard rain
Feel it pound, splashing on my face
Rolling toward the thunder
Let the roar shake me awake
Rolling toward the thunder
Gonna be alive today
I'm good, I'm strong, I defy and dare the danger
I'm free, on fast wind I race
I lasso some beautiful lightning
I spin on a hurricane
Ride high, fly away
Rolling toward the thunder
Chasing down thrill today
Running to the rain, hard rain
Feel it pound, splashing on my face
Rolling toward the thunder
Let the roar shake me awake
Rolling toward the thunder
Gonna be alive today

Hold on to those bullets
Don't load up your guns, take a breath
There must be some resolution
Not just a bloody mess
Let's don't go to war just yet
This don't need to be life or death
Let's keep it chill, keep a cool head
Let's don't go to war just yet
No, no, no, let's don't go to war just yet
Dive in, we're too reckless
Fight, we always fight, that's our way
Why can't we try some forgiveness
Keep all our bombs at bay
Let's don't go to war just yet
This don't need to be life or death
Let's keep it chill, keep a cool head
Let's don't go to war just yet
No, no, no, let's don't go to war just yet
Let's don't go to war just yet
No, no, no, let's don't go to war just yet

I Know I Love You
04:20
|

I went for a wild ride on my runaway horse
Did wrong, got done wrong, tried to block out remorse
Went fast, went low, threw away innocence
Man I was breaking bad, I sure was a mess
Don't remember much of it
Just pain I cannot forget
Alotta stuff has happened since
Kinda wish I'd stayed legit
Not sure how it all went to hell
But one thing I know, I do, I know I love you
One thing I know, I do, I know I love you
I know I love you, I do, I know I love you (Yeah)
I know I love you
I miss it, the soft sheets on your beautiful bed
No rest, I get no rest, laying down with regret
No touch, no kiss, no sweet whisper close
Guess I was wrong to go and I hurt you the most
Don't remember much of it
Just pain I cannot forget
Alotta stuff has happened since
Kinda wish I'd stayed legit
Not sure how it all went to hell
But one thing I know, I do, I know I love you
One thing I know, I do, I know I love you
I know I love you, I do, I know I love you (Yeah)
I know I love you
I don't know why there's so much I don't know
I don't know why I thought I should go
I don't know why I did what I did
I hope I don't do it again
I wish I could promise, I'm not sure I can
But if you let me I'll try to be your good man (To be a good man)
'Cause one thing I know, I do, I know I love you
One thing I know, I do, I know I love you
I know I love you, I do, I know I love you
'Cause one thing I know, I do, I know I love you
One thing I know, I do, I know I love you
I know I love you, I do, I know I love you (Yeah)
I know I love, I know I love you

You will not recognize me
I'm invisible lightning
My shadow shining only slightly
Not enough for you to find me
Blending in the background swirl
Hiding in a blinding world
I got nobody's name
I win the game but never stay
I walk into a haze and fade away
I don't want the fame, I got nobody's name
I got nobody's name, nobody's name
My disguise comes in handy
A flavorless candy
My sugar veiled inside a bland thing
What you see is not outstanding
Blending in the background swirl
Fading in a blazing world
I got nobody's name
I win the game but never stay
I walk into a haze and fade away
I don't want the fame, I got nobody's name
I got nobody's name, nobody's name
I'm behind a wall
No profile at all
No way to connect
I leave no remnants, no content
No sharing for you to see
I'm not in directories
There's nothing to link to
No way to search on me
I got nobody's name
I win the game but never stay
I walk into a haze and fade away
I don't want the fame, I got nobody's name
I got nobody's name, nobody's name
I got nobody's name
I win the game but never stay
I walk into a haze and fade away
I don't want the fame, I got nobody's name
I got nobody's name, nobody's name
Fade away, fade away

No Good Place to Go
03:58
|
|||
Alone and lost without any plan
Wandering loose over bad bad land
Everywhere I walk it’s all rock and dust
Every town I pass is rubble and rust
I got no good place to go
No flower field, no scenic road
No rest stop, no refuge, no home
No good place, no good place to go
No good place, no, no, no
It’s grey and dim, don’t get any sun
Stumble and fall, mark my trail in blood
Hard to breathe, I cough, the air thick with dirt
Lakes are dry, no swim for soaking my hurt
I got no good place to go
No forest green, no peaceful cove
No rest stop, no refuge, no home
No good place, no good place to go
No good place to lay my beat up bones
No rest stop, no refuge, no home
No good place, no good place to go
No good place, no, no, no
Hanging on the edge by my last thread of hope
Barely holding on to the end of my rope
I scale sheer cliffs, climb out of bottomless pits
Cross maddening void just to find black abyss
I got no good place to go
No flower field, no scenic road
No rest stop, no refuge, no home
No good place, no good place to go
No good place to lay my beat up bones
No rest stop, no refuge, no home
No good place, no good place to go
No good place, no, no, no

Bullets and Blood
02:57
|
|||
This fight I must fight, this madness I must face
I've got a million monsters standing in my way
Holding on to my last breath, I take my first steps
Down this danger road where the evil does not rest
Bullets and blood scream through the dark
Shooting straight for my heart
Coming so fast, coming hard
Bullets and blood scream through the dark
Bullets and blood
One foot in the quicksand, the other in my grave
Feels like a hundred lifetimes, battles everyday
Losing sight of where I came, my whole life in flames
If I do survive, man I hope some good remains
Bullets and blood scream through the dark
Shooting straight for my heart
Coming so fast, coming hard
Bullets and blood scream through the dark
Bullets and blood
Bullets and blood
Bullets and blood
Bullets and blood

I'm Greed
03:05
|
|||
I’ll have this and I’ll take that
I gotta have what they have
You better watch, watch your back
I wanna fly, I need wings
I want stuff, diamonds and rings
Money and fame, everything
I’m greed, I make you need
I set your hungry heart on fire
I feed it with desire
Nothing gets me tired, I’m wired
I’m greed, I make you need
I make you thirst, I get you high
Get you crazed and make you lie
I pull your strings, you’re all mine
I make you run, I make you climb
I make you steal and drive you blind
I’m in your mind, you can’t hide
I’m greed, I make you need
I set your hungry heart on fire
I feed it with desire
Nothing gets me tired, I’m wired
I’m greed, I make you need
The more you get, the more I want
The more I want, the more you work
The more you work, the more you get
The more you get, the more I want
It never ends
I’m greed, I make you need
I set your hungry heart on fire
I feed it with desire
Nothing gets me tired, I’m wired
I’m greed, I make you need
I’m greed, I make you need
I set your hungry heart on fire
I feed it with desire
There’s no time to rest, no time to sleep
Come on keep up with me
I’m greed and I make you need
I’m greed, I make you need

She said she knew the way, I was just 16
She flipped me her car keys then taught me everything
Sneaking into bars, palming cards and poker bluffs
How to outrun the law while picking her handcuffs
Deep sea treasure hunting, laundering gold doubloons
Celebrating with good rum under a Caribbean moon
Charming both the princess and her mom the queen
In our Vegas penthouse, rich from roulette schemes
She said
“You can’t lay low if you wanna live high
You gotta play all your cards before you die
It’s boring being safe, can’t stay in one place
Got too many demons out there giving chase
Now some hands won’t win, some cons go bust
We’ll only get so close, it won’t be love
There’ll be some regret, some secrets you can’t tell
But the party’s good on the road to hell”
She found us the best fun, frat house to royal ball
New Orleans Mardi Gras, Brazil for Carnival
I was her James Bond, martini, caviar
Cruising at one-forty, chilling in her black Jaguar
We hosted kings and mafia, played golf with Presidents
Ran naked with the bulls, sang with Bono and The Edge
Walked down that red carpet with Johnny Depp in tow
We flew F-16s and rockets as far as they could go
She said
“You can’t lay low if you wanna live high
You gotta play all your cards before you die
It’s boring being safe, can’t stay in one place
Got too many demons out there giving chase
Now some hands won’t win, some cons go bust
We’ll only get so close, it won’t be love
There’ll be some regret, some secrets you can’t tell
But the party’s good on the road to hell”
My sister’s boy came to me for advice
And I could see adventure in his eyes
He was just like me at that age
So I sat him down and I gave it to him straight
I said
“You can’t lay low if you wanna live high
You gotta play all your cards before you die
It’s boring being safe, don’t stay in one place
Got too many demons out there giving chase
Now some hands won’t win, some cons go bust
You’ll only get so close, you won’t find love
There’ll be some regret, some secrets you can’t tell
But the party’s good on the road to hell
Oh yeah the party’s good on the road to hell”
“My girl was good at everything and she knew where that road went
But the one thing she couldn’t do was get off before the end
So promise me this .. Even if she begs you to stay
When you see that last exit, don’t you hesitate
When you see that last exit, don’t you hesitate”

The Edge of the Edge
03:44
|
|||
My angry past stays hot on my tail
I set the land to fire, my feet burn on the trail
I move fast, can't stay in one place
They're after me, I'm after them, it's all a chase
I run risk to the edge of the edge
Race with trouble on the ledge of a ledge
I chose this path, I was not led
Going woman to woman, bed to bed
I run risk to the edge of the edge
My hungry lust is insatiable
I get a bad desire, my gut aches to be full
I need more, go out for a taste
It's after me, I'm after it, I'm on a chase
I leave screaming hearts back there in my wake
I bet their dreams and lost, my debts I cannot pay
I play chance, jackpot or I bust
Take bigger odds, I duck and dodge, I toy with luck
I run risk to the edge of the edge
Race with trouble on the ledge of a ledge
I chose this path, I was not led
Going woman to woman, bed to bed
I run risk to the edge of the edge
It might a been different
If I'd given you my trust
But that was long ago, back in the shadows
Back in the dust
I run risk to the edge of the edge
Race with trouble on the ledge of a ledge
I chose this path, I was not led
Going woman to woman, bed to bed
I run risk to the edge of the edge

To the Dirt
03:47
|
|||
It all went bad, I'm way far off track
Burning bridges behind, it's turning black
Stumble and crawl, forced down this dark path
Leave it all, it's gone, I can't go back
To the dirt where they bury dreams
Over rocks past haunted trees
On my bloody hands and battered knees
To the dirt where they bury dreams
To the dirt where nothing leaves
Forever the future sleeps down deep
To the dirt, to the dirt, to the dirt where they bury dreams
To the dirt, to the dirt, to the dirt where they bury dreams
I took my chance, I took off too high
On a wing made of stone, I could not fly
Falling from grace, I took a hard dive
Crashing down so fast, I'm dead this time
To the dirt where they bury dreams
Over rocks past haunted trees
On my bloody hands and battered knees
To the dirt where they bury dreams
To the dirt where nothing leaves
Forever the future sleeps down deep
To the dirt, to the dirt, to the dirt where they bury dreams
To the dirt, to the dirt, to the dirt where they bury dreams
There ain't no grass by the dry lake bed
The only water here is my tears and sweat
Headed to my final place of rest
To the dirt where they bury dreams
Over rocks past haunted trees
On my bloody hands and battered knees
To the dirt where they bury dreams
To the dirt where nothing leaves
Forever the secrets keep down deep
To the dirt, to the dirt, to the dirt where they bury dreams
To the dirt, to the dirt, to the dirt where they bury dreams
To the dirt where they bury dreams
To the dirt where they bury dreams
