Selfish

Sitting in Sadness and I'm looking down the road
Looking for everyone and everything there is to know
Listen for the Freight train coming down, yeah
Take a little ride around inside my head
ohhhhh ooohhhh
You see me crying but you don't seem to care
The sun keeps shining down on you through your pretty hair
When you gonna open up and let me back inside
Lock up emotions that I just want to hide
ohhhhh ooohhhh
 Running away from me it seems how its got to be
never even took the time to care when you checked on me
so I lay here in my utter despair
Now you laugh about it, how is that fair
ohhhhh ooohhhh
Lies your telling me oh, you tell yourself
Lies your telling me oh, you tell yourself
Lies your telling me oh, you tell yourself 

Lies your telling me oh, you tell yourself
Lies the only things that come out your mouth
You don't even care about those things in life
Sit there standing on the side as I take my life
Go along now and I'll see you on the other side
crushing soul and twisting fears all come inside
ohhhhh ooohhhh
ohhhhh ooohhhh
ohhhhh ooohhhh
ohhhhh ooohhhh

The Insider

Dressed in this sadness dress
sculpted from clay
with utter despair

rests the insider
always emotions, never one good
locked in tranquility
forever, for good.

Time

Time taken away, should have stayed
can't go on living this way
Left for places far away to buy the time to spend with you for days
the harder I worked the quicker I could be there for you
But time, passes, and slowly it seems,
time is catching up on me
moved back home to see you every weekend
still no time, always a rush

Daddy come play with me,
Its time for bed son maybe in the morning before your gone,
again out of my life,
your voice twinkles when I hear you through the phone
The time that I Had now has gone

washed away with my tears
and all these years stuck in the Vally
But Daddy Didn't see you enough when he lived in Iowa
so even though there were no jobs here
I came back to have Time with you.

The days now go on forever and the nights seem perpetually dark
to much time, to much alone since you've been gone.
eight hours away, my baby boy, I'll be with you soon
please understand it may be months, maybe a few
Saint Louis is the start point to get me back to you.
I love you with all my heart.
MY BABY BOY
