Can’t Take It Lessons learned now forgotten Once had love now it’s all turned rotten Now it’s only shut tight despair Not a damn thing I touch about which I care Stone into lake, surface rippled One friend dying and another crippled And I can’t get it out of my head No I can’t get it out of my head Can’t take it, I just can’t shake it Can’t take it, no, I can’t take it It’s said that out of turmoil, good things come What doesn’t hurt can make you stronger But there’s only so much you can take Till you can’t take it any longer Can’t take it, I just can’t shake it Can’t take it, no, I can’t take it

Dark Hearted American Night Cockroach filled 3am kitchen In dark hearted American night Dignity sucked from those who struggle to be They end up lemmings on a treadmill for all eternity Cardboard dreams, cardboard boxes for houses Still the teeming masses run to The sharpened stakes of greed and madness And quickly are they run through Land of psychic toxic waste So dirty being in it Be careful what you wish for friend For surely you will win it Can’t describe it, an unease, a disease Brings you to your knees Don’t know exactly where you’re at Only how you are certain that As you watch the human spirit decay Life was not meant to be lived this way

How It Feels to be Free I'm walking down the street three feet off the ground The world I've known is upside down No more waiting for my ship to come in No more thinking 'bout what might have been. The simple things in life I've been trying to find Are there for the taking when I get out of my own mind From here on out I expect the best No time to waste on all the rest I almost forgot how it feels to be free I can't remember now what's been worrying me I've seen the path less taken being taken by everyone Gonna find a road of my own and head off into the sun I'm gonna leave behind this new age crock And all I'm gonna do is just shut up and walk I almost forgot how it feels to be free I can't remember now what's been worrying me

Keep Breathing Black days of late Seem to concentrate The mind on the impossibility Of believing anything's possible Life is hard from where I sit And saying it ain't so don't change it one bit I guess I'll just have to keep breathing I guess I'll just have to keep breathing I'm told there's hope as long as we're still breathing Life is hard from where I sit And saying it ain't so don't change it one bit I keep myself from seeing the light of day And I know that love is the only way So I guess I'll just have to keep breathing I guess I'll just have to keep breathing I'm told there's hope as long as we're still breathing Some new adventure is bound to begin And when it does I'll drink it all in Getting to it then going through it And out the other side Looking forward to a beautiful ride But till then I'll just have to keep breathing I guess I'll just have to keep breathing I'm told there's hope as long as we're still breathing
