-- Lyrics --
Far and wide I’ve searched for the coin in the mouth of a fish
And I have found nothing yet
Call on the half moon to shine its light onto your loaded heart
Cause this has gotta start
Wish I could woo you with ten thousand talents
But all I’ve got is this fever hot
Burns like the sun
All the hearts that you’ve won only go so far
Far as I can tell
I can swim but I don’t walk on water
I’d never had known if I’d never had bothered
And these days I’m a little off balance
Cause I’m a slave to ten thousand talents
I can tell you right now that if you
Do that again I will up and leave you
So fast it will make your head spin
Do you know all of the trouble that you’re in?
Ten thousand talents that you’ll never see
That’s ten thousand talents that I’ll never be

-- Lyrics --
We were both born in a godless time
When I’d want nothing more than to know you’re mine
We played all the right notes, but it came out all wrong
But the music still plays
It goes on and on and on
Well I followed the signs, but I’ve learned nothing yet
Now my shoulder’s weighed down from brass and regret
Wishing you could undo the hurt
Ain’t easy as re-buttoning your shirt
Like a child you run and hide
And heartlessly you change your mind
Loveless far as I can see
Heartlessly put the blame all on me
So I packed up my love, put it back in it’s case
Shoulders weighed down from pine and mistakes
Wishing I could undo the hurt
Ain’t easy as lifting my skirt
Like a child you run and hide
And heartlessly you change your mind
Loveless far as I can see
Heartlessly put the blame all on me
Now your chops are so sore from trying to explain
You don’t love me no more, well there’s no one to blame
But you’re to blame

-- Lyrics --
Carry me down where the sky meets the ground
Where the water’s still clean, where I’ve planted your tree
Been watching it grow since so long ago
And ripped off the leaves while they were still green
Take my head and push it under the water
Take my hand; it can only bring me closer
But in my heart I know what’s wrong and right
I don’t have the strength and my wit is too slight
But you take all I have with the bat of an eye
Still I wanted so bad to make it right
So we wait and we pray and count down the days
Till you pack up and you move away
I don’t know what’s worse; is it a gift or a curse?
And which path is right?
Will it be fight or flight?
Take my head and push it deep as you can
Take my hand; it can only bring me closer
But in my heart I know what’s wrong and right
I don’t have the strength and my wit is too slight
But you take all I have with the bat of an eye
With your cold hearted, unkind and unwilling twisted mind
You think you have the right
And in the middle of the night she woke
Kicked me out into the street saying go home
There is no room here for two lying whores
But I want her so bad to know that I didn’t want her to go

What Happened (Solo)

-- Lyrics --
Holding just to hold on
Hoping just to have one more day
But since you shined a light on
All my hopes have all gone away
Collecting your secrets while I sleep
Tucking them away now, nice and neat
Shaking life a leaf, you’re so afraid
I might find out what you’re made of
What happened to you?
All alone and so afraid that nothing ever stays the same
You can’t save a bad man
Or hear what you want him to say, but you can pray
But I am all done praying
I’d rather watch you burn and fade away
Cover up your eyes now with your hands
Oh my dear, I understand
What I get it never what I see
But don’t trust me
What happened to you?
All alone and so afraid that nothing ever goes your way
Still I’m a believer when you lie
Though we may never see eye to eye
I’ve paid my dues and I’ll be damned if I see you back here again
I know what you’ve done and it’s alright
Whatever gets you through the night
Pushing your knife into my back
Why’d you do that?
What happened to you?
All alone and so ashamed
It’s all I seem to know these days
What happened to you?

-- Lyrics --
Oh his heart is bound somewhere down south
So I can’t understand a word that comes out of his lying mouth
I wake up to a warm room everyday
So I leave the window open and now things are gonna get cold
This is bound to get old
Time and time again you hold it in your hand
And I’m no more than a means to your end
I worked my hand to the bone
I whine, I bitch and moan but in the end I’m always right
I know you’ve said it all along, but I can’t tell the truth from your little white lies
I am just not cut out for this life
Not cut out for dog fights and red eyes and drinking every night
But I can play along like I can play this song for you
While she’s getting you off cause you can play along too
I’ll walk you through the steps, yes I will should you what to do
Seen it all before, now I’ll show you the door
Time and time again you hold it in your hand
And I’m no more than a means to your end
I worked my hand to the bone
I whine, I bitch and moan but in the end I’m always right
I know you’ve said it all along, but I can’t tell the truth from your little white lies
Why don’t you just go on back down home?
Cause me telling you off
I might as well be talking on my own
Cause I knew you were gone when I opened the door
I knew that you were done, I knew you were no more
Please don’t tell me so because I never asked you
But it doesn’t surprise me, I wouldn’t put it passed you
I can feel it coming, I can feel the hurt
Before you even say it, before you speak the words
Telling me I can’t, you’re telling me I’m wrong
Why can’t we just agree, why can’t we get along
Told you I’d do better, I promised I’d be good
I thought you said you knew, I thought you understood
Shout it from the rooftops but I don’t make a sound
Not a crack in the wall, not a dent in the ground
