  I Won't Bleed
 

        It's a glorified high school
        In a kodak flash
        Homecoming kings and queens
        And pretty white trash
        Graveyeard mansions
        Social x-ray gowns
        Don't trip in my yard buddy
        Don't bring me down

        I won't bleed
        I won't bleed anymore, no I won't
        I won't bleed anymore than I already have

        Black cloud's creepin'
        A mile from the coast
        When you're in trouble brother
        You gotta smile the most
        Cuz nobody wants you
        When you're out on a limb
        Just pray for some water
        That you can fall in

       I won't bleed
        I won't bleed anymore, no I won't
        I won't bleed anymore than I already have

        Here tomorrow, gone today
        Gimme your number then go away
        I'm resurrrected from the has-bin
        So don't say you know me
        In the shape you're in

        It's glorified high school
        In a peridot class ring
        All the winners and losers
        Still lookin' for the same thing

        I won't bleed
        I won't bleed anymore, no I won't
        I won't bleed anymore than I already
        I already I already have


 
        Braking Wheels

        It's your choice
        If you wanna go
        But this time, this time there's no
        Turning back
        Or draggin' me down
        Into your blue ocean
        Into your ghost town
        Cuz I've had enough
        Of all the words you think you mean
        This track is long
        And runs one way from all I've seen

        All that I can hear
        Deep in the dark, and painfully clear
        Is the sound of steel on steel
        Hear it cryin' like a freight train's braking wheels
        It's my poor hear cryin' like a freight train's braking wheels

        Anyone could plainly see
        By the look on your face
        You ain't lovin' me
        But you play sad and silent when
        You're not a victim, baby
        You've never been
        And I've had enough
        Of you wondering if I'm okay
        Cuz I'm okay

        All that I can hear
        Deep in the dark, and painfully clear
        Is the sound of steel on steel
        Hear it cryin' like a freight train's braking wheels

        All that I can do
        For you now
        Is hang around
        And remind you of
        The lies you tell
        For your picture perfect private hell

        Baby be true
        To your heart and mind
        Just this once
        And for old times
        Cuz I've had enough
        Of spending all my days in doubt
        This track is long
        But this is where I'm getting out

        All that I can hear
        Deep in the dark, and painfully clear
        Is the sound of steel on steel
        Hear it cryin' like a freight train's braking wheels
        It's my poor hear cryin' like braking wheels


        Leave Me Alone
        Did you have something to say
        Or were you just drinkin' again
        Did you call me up to see if I was alone?
        Drinkin' down those last call blues
        And wearin' out your wedding shoes
        Wishin' your life was your own

        Well I been thinkin' about the way
        You sparkled when you fell for him
        You wore it on your face and your new dress
        Sneakin' around on my dime
        Finally your spotlight shined
        Congratulations I guess

        Leave me alone leave me alone
        All the judges and the lawyers have gone home
        Leave me alone just leave me alone
        You're not my hell now
        Get off my phone

        I heard about the A-frame
        That sits way up on Bunker Hill
        You were the star of every room I'm told
        Fame is fame at any price
        It's just a roll of your soul dice, babe
        Just don't get old

        Leave me alone leave me alone
        All the counselors and therapists have flown
        Leave me alone just leave me alone
        You're not my hell now
        Get off my phone

        Did you have something to say
        Or were you just drinkin' again
        Did you call me up to see if I was alone?
        I cried when you shut me out
        But all I feel is nothing now
        For you and your heart of stone

        Leave me alone leave me alone
        All the jugglers and acrobats
        Have taken all I own
        Leave me alone just leave me alone
        You're not my hell now
        And this ain't your home
        Get off my phone
 
 


 

        Falling Home
        (Jude Cole)

        Fields of patience
        Mountains of pain
        Innocence fell from this runaway train
        Planets of mercy
        Great skies of hope
        Send me an angel
        With a holy rope

        Daydreams and wishes
        Tarnish and rust
        Truth is here somewhere
        Coughing up dust
        Crawl through the madness
        And climb up the cracks
        Wisdom in speaking
        From the zodiac

        Pull back the lens on the earth's great design
        And I'm summer rain gently falling home
        Leap from a star into the great unknown
        Forgiveness is a high jump
        And we're falling home

        Someone knows a lawyer
        Someone's got a friend
        Looks like we're human
        To the mortal end
        I'll take all the green trees
        And you can have the sun
        If this land is our land
        There's some work to be done

        Pull back the lens on the earth's great design
        And I'm the autumn leaves, weightless, falling home
        Race through the clouds past the gravity zone
        Forgiveness is a swan dive

        And we're falling home, we're falling home
        We're falling home yeah, yeah
        Falling home, we're falling home
        We're falling home yeah, yeah

        Pull back the lens on the earth's great design
        And I'm Aristotle waiting by the phone
        Count the years we held the hurt inside
        Forgiveness is a back flip

        And we're falling home, we're falling home
        We're falling home yeah, yeah
        Falling home, we're falling home
        We're falling home yeah, yeah
 


        Any Dark Day

        Whatever you done
        Can't be that bad
        I'm not here to blame
        A heart that's been had

        A river runs free
        Under charity's sky
        So take a sweet dream
        In your woods tonight

        Put your mind at rest
        And your fears at bay
        I'm the one you can run to
        Any dark day

        Somebody said
        A jealous heart's blind
        The war he did rage
        Was in his own mind

        And I don't care what
        The good people say
        Cuz I know the side
        That you hide away

        Put you mind at rest
        And your fears at bay
        I'm the one you can run to
        Any dark day

        Put you mind at rest
        And your fears at bay
        I'm the one you can run to
        Any dark day
 
 




 

        More Than A Breakup Song
        (Jude Cole)

        This conversation is a trance
        The years fly by at a glance
        The blame game is the clue
        That everyone I've ever loved is you

        And you've done nothing wrong
        And this is more than a breakup song

        It's simple as honesty
        Honest as the hole in me
        Eyes that see for someone else
        May never have to see themselves

        And you've done nothing wrong
        And this is more than a breakup song
        Now you've done nothing wrong

        How could I tell you
        The weight that's been lifted
        I've opened my heart
        And your mind goes drifting on

        The chemistry and gravity
        Are spinning in apologies
        Now this is what I've turned into
        For everyone I've ever loved is you

        And you've done nothing wrong
        And this is more (this is more)
        This is more than a breakup song

        Somewhere

        Somewhere you and I go
        Making it real, making it whole
        Somewhere you and I know
        We're making believe it's in our control

        I wanna reach up when the dark night comes
        I wanna take you far from here to somewhere we belong

        Somewhere there's a rainbow
        Shining along the rivers of old
        Someday I'll be me and you won't have to hide the colors you hold

        I know it's just like you to say it's okay
        I know you know we'll be together someday
        We'll shine on

        Somewhere I'll have you
        Right where I need you
        I don't care what they say
        Cuz you know they don't know
        Just how crazy we are anyway

        I wanna reach out when the dark night comes
        I wanna take you far from here to somewhere you'll see
        Someday we'll belong
 

        Raining On The Moon

        Have you heard the news?
        It's raining on the moon
        The man in the tv said
        It's raining on the moon
        Even the scientists
        Can't believe it's true
        They're showing diagrams
        And little moon cartoons

        Where we are is everything we know
        All we've got is the love that we show

        There was a man who knew
        That none of this was true
        He swore by GOD above
        The end was coming soon
        Now there's a rocket bus
        Leaves every afternoon
        And funny little cars
        Racing on the dunes

        Where we are is everything we know
        All we've got is the love that we show

        Everyone aboard
        It's raining on the moon
        What would you stay here for?
        It's raining on the moon!
        Everyone aboard
        It's raining on the moon
        No worries anymore
        It's raining on the moon!
 

        You Make It Easy

        I know it's crazy
        But I don't care at all
        Who's knockin' on my door
        Or who's tryin' to call
        Sometimes I talk too much
        When I've got nothing to say
        It's just my nature

        You make it easy for me to be who I am
        You make it so easy for me to be who I am
        Where you are is where I wanna be

        I'm not a gambler
        But there's one thing I'd bet
        This life would be a joke
        If we never met
        And right now I'd feel like the luckiest man in the world
        If you were near me

        You make it easy for me to be who I am
        You make it so easy for me to be who I am
        Where you are is where I wanna be

        If there's a time you ever feel lonely
        You know I'll drop everything, to be with you only
        For you know, it's only fair

        Sometimes I don't speak up
        When what I need to say is that I love you

        You make it easy for me to be who I am
        You make it so easy for me to be who I am
        Where you are is where I wanna be

        Where you are is where I am
 



 

        Inhale
        (Jude Cole)

        You could have me sewn
        Into your blue jean pocket
        You could have me anyway you want, you know
        Innocence is gold
        In a world of such large children
        In this playground we call life, you know

        So why's it gotta be so hard
        Why you wanna hurt so bad
        Why don't you take a deep breath
        Inhale me in

        It's a funny thing
        All this bleeding drama
        All this guilt-o-rama
        Dirt on my shoes
        If i could take it back
        I would take back nothing
        Not a single step away from here
        From you

        So why's it gotta be so hard
        Why you wanna hurt so bad
        Why won't you take a deep breath
        Inhale me in
        Why do you need to know
        Every place i've ever been
        Just take a deep breath and baby
        Inhale me in

        C'mon let me drive
        Out of this choke tunnel
        Let me blow some smoke
        And fly away from here with you

        So why's it gotta be so hard
        Why you wanna hurt so bad
        Why won't you take a deep breath
        Inhale me in
        Why do you need to know
        Every place i've ever been
        Just take a deep breath and baby
        Inhale me in
 

 

        Peaceful In Mine

        When the sun comes up on another day
        And the sidewalk shines and the streetlights sway
        In the autumn wind, hard like the times
        I'll dream of yours, peaceful in mine

        And when the stars fall out of sight
        A flame will burn in a frozen night
        With a simple wish in these violent times
        To dream of yours, peaceful in mine

        Where we walk down that road again
        Innocent strangers, eternal friends
        In a world of our very own
        Far from space and time
        With yours, peaceful in mine

        Wait for me up there tonight
        And we'll dance on till the morning light
        Leaving all but faith behind
        With your peaceful in mine
        A simple wish in these crazy times
        Yours, peaceful in mine
