These Are The Days

Nicotine tongue tied to my touch
I want to taste tomorrow in tonight's rush
I want to taste tonight in tomorrow's lunch
A pretty girl by my side never taught me much
It's trivial times and troublesome tales
I may have told, but I'll never tell
I took the train lines, I traveled the rails
Always ended up tracing back my trails
These are the days, these are the nights
You can't escape so why would you try?
These are the days, these are the nights
Undisguised and naked, that happiness is mine
Chimney fingered flicking ash in the wind
Flames burning out far from feeling anything
Cause after city fathers found freedom in
My freedom and my crucifixion
The formula for failure was always at my door
With a female, a flask, and a fishing lure
Fingernail biting fearing for the floor
I want to be lost now as if I wasn't before
These are the days, these are the nights
You can't escape so why would you try?
These are the days, these are the nights
Undisguised and naked, that happiness is mine
Reconvene like lovers unlucky in love
Like lunar loners liquored up
Like an obscene chain linked to the lion's tongue
Licking the wounds of the loveless ones
It's the leading roll, leaving curtains called
Lying for laughs in the lending hall
Lovely and lost in lessons from God
I think I'm learning life, but I am not
These are the days, these are the nights
You can't escape so why would you try?
These are the days, these are the nights
Undisguised and naked, that happiness is mine

Reach For Me
04:34

When you found me, I was gone, I left sometime ago.
I left my family, my friends, and my baby behind, but my vices always showed.
In a new hometown they haunt me now the same as before.
I thought I'd do something good and new, but my past was always at my door.
And I swore, things would change, but I'm down and out again.
Life stays hard, and the truth is that I need you to...
Reach for me when I fall,
Pull my back away from the wall.
A lot may be wrong, but it will be alright,
If you just reach for me when I fall.
Money can be a great comfort sometimes, but I wouldn't know.
I still sing the same songs, no cash for comfort and that's the way it goes.
So I stay out on the streets, stay falling in the gutter, and I don't understand.
It's hard to get up when I lift my arm and no one grabs my hand.
All my plans have changed, I'm down and out again.
Life stays hard, and the truth is that I need you to....
Reach for me when I fall,
Pull my back away from the wall.
A lot may be wrong, but it will be alright,
If you just reach for me...
Troubles never come alone,
I'm chain smoking on the phone.
I've been whispering the sweetest things
because I'm missing you.
You ask me to come on home but
I don't tell you things you shouldn't know.
I've been flat on my back, down on the tracks, cause I need you to...
Reach for me when I fall,
Pull my back away from the wall.
A lot may be wrong but it will be alright,
If you just reach for me, when I fall.
