I Washed My Hands

When the shell of your body
Tells your soul to keep running
Since your heart had gotten heavy
When you mastered alchemy
'Cause you can't escape the quicksand
When it turns to broken glass
And you can't map out a future
While you're sinking in the past
When you've licked up all the freshness
Off a brand new Denver mint
You can take off all the thumb tacks
From the hopes that you have pinned
If you get sick of the sweet talk
From a stranger's candy phone
Don't be sad if you get hung up on
When you'd rather be alone
When you get lost in the novels
In the tea leaves of your cup
You won't dwell on bitter flavors
If you burned off your taste buds
You can accept arranged marriage
To the lines of your palm
And surrender to the forces
That were allies all along
I washed my hands
Turn the faucet on
And dispense the soap
And give up all hope
And be done

Nature's having fun if you listen
Everyone is out in the summer night
Fireworks are flashing in the distance
But I close my eyes
Lovers are out finding each other
Gamblers are rolling the dice
Farmers plant the fields in the summer
But I stay inside
I can dwell on all the things I am missing
Like a chance of a lifetime that passed me by
I can live on memories of second guessing
Or I could start a new life

A spade is just a heart turned black with a dagger stuck inside its back. And diamonds shine inside a club while the misfits stand in line, but they'll never get in (not with the clothes that they're wearing). While flower petals fall away from the stem, the girls are leaving their men. You can watch them wilt standing with the aid of stilts. And exiled Christians are banned from the church but that's only the start of their search for holy places here on earth
A boy is drowning on the bay but is saved by a mermaid on A. Bui
Oh how this world almost never knew me
'Cause when leaves turn inward they fall to the ground
And wind gusts throw them around state to state
But they don't mind which way
From Savannah, GA, Alexandria, VA
The bible belt around my waist won't tie me down
Because I'll be leaving town

I Watched My Hand

Hey Babe, I'm staying home
I see the world out there but I got no place to go
'Cause I can't understand why everyone must stand for something
Hey Babe, I'm staying home
Even if it means I'll be alone
There's so much to do but I've got nothing to prove
Hey Babe, I'm staying home
Can't plant your roots in a black top road
No matter where you go, problems will follow
Hey Babe, I'm staying home
You can stay here or you can go
'Cause hun if you believe, then leave because I believe in nothing
