Christmas day
There's rain in the Carolina sky
The radio's singing songs for Jesus
And I'm wondering if anyone
Ever got saved
New Year's Day
Robins dance in dirty snow
They were searching for alibis
Beneath the stones
And the smoke from the fire
Keeps the night away
And when the rain is pouring down
They say it didn't make a sound
They say it didn't touch the ground
It fell just for you
And when you're falling down
They say you didn't touch the ground
They say you never make a sound
On the day that you die
And you're drinking on some beach
Where our stories
Are out of reach
And the oceans
They have all dried up
You laugh and say
It's always the same three chords
Oh you laugh and say
It's always the same three chords
But I never wanted to sing for you
'cause we wrote our future
In the curves of the power lines
And we all forgot
Something that was left
Left behind
And when the rain is pouring down
They say it didn't make a sound
They say it didn't touch the ground
It fell just for you
And when you're falling down
They say you didn't touch the ground
They say you never make a sound
On the day that you die
'Cause you were right
It's always the same three chords
You were right
It's always the same three chords
It's always the same damn song
And we always sing along
It's always the pills, the pills, the pills
The bottles, the refills
And we change our hair
And we change our clothes
And we burn old conversations
And we carry your ashes with us
Everywhere we go
But I still have
A photograph of you
I still have
A photo of you
It reminds me
Reminds me it's true
You came down to the sand
With a drink in your hand
You pointed beyond the waves
And you said let's swim out
To the shores of a better song
And somedays I swear
I still see you standing there
When the rain falls
Just for you

My Heroes

1 a.m. and I'm writing songs
On my basement floor
And I don't know
Why I bother anymore
'Cause at 3 p.m.
I stood in this employment line
With a debt and a degree
And way too much
Fucking time
'Cause I got all these words
And I got all these songs
And I can't even find a job
To give me something to drink about
'Cause all my heroes are dead
All my heroes are on TV
Saying well it's not
How it used to be
What are you doing kid?
Did you ever think
You could be like me or yesterday?
And I'm standing in this line
Thinking of doing another line
Now I've got enough time
To count my anti-depressants
I've got my debt
I've got my degree
And I've got too many words
To ever sleep
'Cause all my heroes are dead
All my heroes are on TV
Saying well it's not
How it used to be
What are you doing kid?
Did you ever think
You could be like me or yesterday?
Well I borrowed my parents' cable
So I can see
All my heroes try and burn
The world down around me
All the punks who forgot how to sing
And we gave up on our childish dream
Of being rock stars
Or saying anything different anyway
Oh I think I'll do another line
I think I'm just wasting time
I think I'll oversleep today
'Cause all my heroes are dead
All my heroes are on TV
Saying wait that's not
How you're supposed to be
'Cause you got your debt and you got your degree
And you got all your anxiety
I don't care anymore
What they say about me
Or if my heroes try to burn the last tree
'Cause I burned all the banks
And I kept my degree
And I stole every word
That was ever sung to me
And I'm standing in this line
thinking of doing another line
I'm hoping
I'm hoping that you will see
I never wanted these heroes
For you
Or for me

Dear Alyssa

There was snow on the highway
When I lost myself
To the ghost of Christmas day
She had tears
In her eyes
When she knew
She could not disguise
What could you want from me?
I am just the angel of prescriptions
Addicted to a fear unfeathered
But I just need you to know
My friend
Dear Alyssa
You're stronger than this world
Dear Alyssa
You're stronger than this world
You ask me for the path to God
I never found it for myself
I could show you a rusty guitar
And some dusty chords
No one sings anymore
You ask me which way is right
Here where the streets never end
I can't give you a sense of direction
Just of wasted time
And airport waiting lines
But
Dear Alyssa
You're stronger than this world
Dear Alyssa
You're stronger than this world
I wish I could save you
From this life
I need you to know
All the shadows we make
Are shattering the dawn
Dear Alyssa
You're stronger than this world
Dear my friends
You're stronger than this world
Oh yeah
You're stronger than
Stronger than
