Daddy Never Was A Cowboy

This world has got everything that you need
And anything you want
Breath in that cool breeze baby
Remember this feeling when I'm gone
I wish I was lying when I said that I had to go away
I wish I was lying and I could be with you one more day
Daddy never was a cowboy
Daddy never knew how to say goodbye
Daddy never was one to tell a lie
As he rode through the night
Nothing's quite like waking up to the quiet dawn
And sitting in that silence
Now we don't have time to spare
It's gonna take everything you got to make it out of here
Don't let my feelings fool you
Don't let them get stuck in your head
I wish I was dying when you said that I had to go away
I wish I was dying and yet another desert sun is rising
Death is just a brand new way of living
Daddy never was a cowboy
Daddy never knew how to say goodbye
Daddy never was one to tell a lie

I tip my hat
like John Wayne in that movie you never saw
That was the deal
we made when we laid in bed all those years ago
I didn’t used to be
searching for meaning in memories
but after you closed the door
behind me I knew I might as well be
I am the same
Man you fell for
Always too late in
saying what you needed to hear the most
The first time we met
you didn’t think too much of it
but how did i know
let’s just say I felt deep down in my bones
you got me to sing
like a canary but you said you only sing for me
what could i do
you put me in your pocket and you never let me go
I am the same
man you fell for
always too late in
saying what you needed to hear the most
For every conversation left unsaid
there’s another one waiting to happen
where we are truly heard
and for what feels like the first time
we understand what it means to be human
How could i be such a fool
to fool around with you
I couldn’t resist
I was rendered helpless by a single request
and you kissed me on the neck
never intending to ascend my lips
and it went all down from there
somethings are better learned on you own

Pretty prison you’re the one that I love
Pretty prison you are all that I need
Pretty prison pre pretty prison
I swear / I will never leave
They said I’m in here for my crimes
And that Ill never get out of here alive
I know what I know and I know that’s a damn lie
Because only I am the warden of my mind…
Pretty prison you’re the one that I love
Pretty prison you are all that I need
Pretty prison I used to hide
I am ready to leave
No one is gonna stop me
I’m breaking out today
No one is gonna stop me
I’m breaking out today
I’m breaking out today
No one is gonna stop me
I’m breaking out of these chains
You don’t know me
and no one can tell me who I am
I am who I am
I am no longer hiding
I’m breaking out of this prison

Here & Now

Nothing has ever been quite like this
I’ve never felt so alive and yet so dead
The air hangs low like rotting fruit
too late to turn back now just gotta let
to let go now…
cmon you know it’s too late now
I feel foolish for even asking
Lost my light chasing shadows while dancing
Now I am left to stumble through the night
Too late to turn back now too late to make it right
cmon you know it’s too late now
goblins cooks musicians and rats too
can’t ever stop sipping from that witches brew
once you start to dream it’s hard to sleep again
what was once good fortune now is gone
and got spoiled before the morning sun
it’s not too late you say but you know
it’s too late it’s too late too late
No water can put out this fire
Ive never felt so depressed and yet inspired
Leave me dancing under the pale moonlight
Too late to turn back now There’s no where else but here and now
