Liberty's Playground

I think I'll take a swing on Lady Liberty's playground
And if I see you there let's split a gamble with a smile
They say the weather is a hazard
But rainy days are my favorite kind
Midway thru a traffic stop let's play a game of cops and robbers
Just shoot me with a wink, I'll be complicit in your crime
I'll bribe the mayor with a dollar
And cut the ribbon on some chance parade in the pouring rain
Let's raise the stakes and play Russian roulette into the sunrise
And if you take my hand, I'll pull the trigger with a smile

Only A Dream

Hello bird, hello angel
Floating way up high
Come drop in, take me away from here
To a place where there are no
Questions to be answered
To a place where details disappear
It's only a dream
Erased in a moment
But the feeling never fades
Hello stars, hello strangers
Roaming far above me
I'll come join you once I close my eyes
Do you think it's okay to
Call me your accomplice
To the secrets drifting in the dark?
It's only a dream
Erased in a moment
But the feeling never fades
It's only a dream
But something is certain
The conviction still remains

Take It Or Leave It
03:14

Sipped from a glass of some uncherished drink
Unpleasant drops I take in so pleasantly
Oh I see someone familiar outside the window
She says to me
The whole world is a wonder
But no one noticed anything
Take it or leave it
It doesn't mean that much to me
Oh I spilled wine on the table from getting up too fast
Before you said to me
The whole world is a wonder
But no one noticed anything
Take it or leave it
It doesn't mean that much to me
It doesn't mean that much to me

Judas

Judas, how you betrayed us with a kiss
Nevermind the former good-hearted things you maybe did
Did you weep when you took that
Clumsy footstep off into the dark?
If we condemn you for some wretched crime
Then I must confess I've also been unkind
Did you find Heaven hates you?
Well just know you're not the only one
If we could have a chance in another life
Well then maybe we could try to make things right

You Know My Name
03:28

You know my name and you say hey
But I can't say the same
I stutter to stand and crumble back down
Day after day
But please believe that behind these frustrating eyes
Is a stunted smile
Every now and then this uneasiness ends
And I seem okay
I hope that fortune and fate erase me away
While there's a smile on my face
But please don't judge me too soon
Just know that I'm most alive
When there's something to lose
It's getting hard to keep pretending
That I'm okay with this kind of ending
Please believe that behind these frustrating eyes
Is a stunted smile
Please don't judge me too soon
Just know that I'm most alive
When there's something to lose
You know my name and you say hey
Maybe I'll say the same
