Oh take me back to the place where I am from Oh watch my back, ‘cause the monsters are free to roam Oh take me back to the place where I am from Oh watch my back, for I am just a man I am just a man, I am just a man And you tell me how it is You make your own excuses And you tell me how it is You’d never be where you were if I was around Oh take me back to the place where I have grown And oh watch my back cause the monsters are free to roam Oh take me back to the place where I am from Oh watch my back, for I am just a man I am just a man, I am just a man And you tell me how it is You make your own excuses And you tell me how it is You’d never be where you were if I was around

I took a rope around the moon And brought it down to you You said ‘Don’t hold your breath.’ I had a close encounter With death himself a time or two In fact, the grim reaper just left And I’m thinking I should too I’d take it back for you On and on and on It’s over I won’t forget you I took that rope Made a noose and gave it back to you You said ‘Go to hell’ Well I’m here to tell you honey, I’ve been to hell a time or two In fact, liked the way it felt I’m thinking you will too

Modern Tomb 04:35
Just an unmarked face In an unmarked place Where no one knows your name In a welded room Or a modern tomb No one knows your name And I hardly knew you What’s on my mind I tell you all the time ‘cause I’m spinning in circles As time passes by I could man up And put the blame on you Where it’s rightly deserved Start wearing your shoes ‘cause I found them all tattered And bleached from the sun I cleaned them up And wore them as my own The soles wore out fast And the blisters poked through So if the shoe fits I suggest that you do What you were you meant to do What you were meant to be A memory (And I let life pass by) Just an unmarked face In an unmarked place Where no one knows your name In a welded room Or a modern tomb Where no one knows your name And I hardly knew you…

The Door 04:51
Close the door, stay for awhile My childhood friend It’s been a long time and I’ve been wondering How you’ve been It’s been the same since you left Nothing has changed Nothing’s changed Nothing ever changes My friend I wanna know how life’s been for you Out on the road I’m sure you’ve met so many people That will help you grow They’ll forget your face Make you wish you had a place to call home Waiting for the end…

Grunt 06:18
I grew up from the dust and mud The rusted, untrusted, weathered grunt that I've become I sit outside, pray for waves Ask for him to make it rain for forty days I'm tired of seeing the greed The cash machine doesn't bleed like you and me I've known too few and I've seen too much But my sword will never cut the book enough This isn't what they intended
