And everybody wants to be special here
They call your name out loud and clear
Here comes a regular
Call out your name
Here comes a regular
Am I the only one here today?

But do not ask the price I pay
I must live with this quiet rage
Tame the ghosts in my head
That run wild and wish me dead
Should you shake my ash to the wind
Lord forget all of my sins
Let me die where I lie
Beneath the curse of my lover's eyes

Further

And so it is

Just like you said, it should be

We'll both forget the breeze

Most of the time

And so it is

The colder water

The soldier's daughter

The pupil in denial

Never Gets Old

On the corner of main street

Just tryin' to keep it in line

You say you wanna move on, and

You say I'm falling behind

Can you read my mind?

Can you read my mind?

I never really gave up on

Breakin' out of this two-star town

I got the green light

I got a little fight

I'm gonna turn this thing around

Can you read my mind?

Can you read my mind?

The good old days, the honest man

The restless heart, the Promised Land

A subtle kiss that no one sees

A broken wrist and a big trapeze

Oh well, I don't mind, you don't mind

Cause I don't shine if you don't shine

Before you go, can you read my mind?

It's funny how you just break down

Waiting on some sign

I pull up to the front of your driveway

With magic soaking my spine

Can you read my mind?

Can you read my mind?

The teenage queen, the loaded gun

The drop dead dream, the Chosen One

A southern drawl, the world unseen

A city wall and a trampoline

Oh well, I don't mind, you don't mind

'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine

Before you jump

Tell me what you find

When you read my mind

Slipping in my faith until I fall

She never returned that call

Woman, open the door, don't let it sting

I wanna breathe that fire again

She said, I don't mind, you don't mind

Cause I don't shine if you don't shine

Put your back on me

Put your back on me

Put your back on me

The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun

When you read my mind

Dayum son

One of the best things I've read online in a while.

On kindness

O Captain! My Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:

But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

Again

With much festive cheer we began the New Year;
Wine, food, song, and dancing to boot.
But my heart's still alone, in this city once called home.
Home's where the heart is and mine's still with you.
