Joy In These Old Woods

Leave the dirt on my shoes
I'm going out for another round
I'll be happy when they turn black
They"ll get that way when i go back
They"ll get that way when i go back
I am a lion you can't tame
I live in trees and sing with the birds
I hunt at night just like an owl
I answer wolves with my howl
I answer wolves with my howl
I find joy in these old woods
They keep me happy when you are gone
I look to them for a good night
And I'll find it in the evening light
And I'll find it in the evening light
I don't do much when you are home
Take care of you and sit inside
But when I get an open door
I'll take that chance to explore
I'll take that chance to explore
Leave the dirt on my shoes
I'm going out for another round
I'll be happy when they turn black
They"ll get that way when i go back
They"ll get that way when i go back
I find joy in these old woods
They keep me happy when you are gone
I look to them for a good night
And I'll find it in the evening light
And I'll find it in the evening light
And I'll find it in the evening light

I can feel you brother
I can love you mother
I found a new place to stay
I have found another
I can miss you brother
I can cry for mother
I learned to ignore pain
I have found another
I can trust you brother
I can hold you mother
I can sleep a thousand days
I have found another
I can kill you brother
I can hurt you mother
I tried your way
I have found another
I can meet you brother
I can leave you mother
I have a debt to pay
I have found another
I can hug you brother
I can kiss you mother
I die wear I lay
I have found another

Baron Sherod had been given a job as a prison guard at the age of 31
He had applied to join the local police force but was deemed mentally unfit
He was diagnosed with PTSD despite never serving in combat during his short stint in the military
The warden decided "it takes an animal to keep a zoo in check"
Coincidentally, the prison was extremely short staffed
Baron wasn't a mean guard but that was worse
The prisoners feared him without hating him
The warden gave Baron 2 separate awards during his time
One for cleanest station, an award given monthly
The other an imitation purple heart for being shived while breaking up a fight
Baron finally snapped while waiting for a prisoner to shit
The prisoner had taken too much of Baron's time
So Baron took all of his with a billy club
A weapon the warden had forbidden in favor of tasers and rubber bullets
Baron had disobeyed direct orders from his superior
The judge thought it would be cruel and unusual to send Baron back to his prison
He shipped him two states away into a private cell
Baron said nothing the four days he was there
On the fourth day he was beaten to death by the cousin of his victim
Upon further investigation, it was determined there was no blood relation between the two
Baron was a constant topic of conversation in the jail he once guarded
Some used his story as a cautionary tale for new inmates
Others used it as another damning piece of evidence against the system
Some reflected on the few words Baron would say while he worked
"You may be behind bars now but they'll keep us all from seeing the sun"

You want me to call your name
But I don't want to shout
You want me to sing your praise
But I have my doubts
It's funny how the lord lives in us all
You want me to read your word
But I can't see far
You want me to join the herd
But it seems bizarre
It's funny how the lord lives in us all
And taken away from him
I still feel his grip
Heard peace piped through a speaker
In a car
Searched for a new religion
With a guitar
Caught a glimpse of the holy spirit
In a bar
Said nothing matters unless
You become a star
Here's your chance to see it
In the glaring light
Blinking eyes will miss it
Staring ones go blind
Keeping those eyelids open
Will take all your might
But it'll be worth that sight
Got a job at the factory
It ain't far
Working all day and night
It ain't hard
Making rock n roll music
In a jar
Writing 1,000 tunes a day
To punch my card
Here's your chance to see it
In the glaring light
Blinking eyes will miss it
Staring ones go blind
Keeping those eyelids open
Will take all your might
But it'll be worth that sight

Clean my eyes
To see those jewels
No one left to claim em
Proud to take the share of fools
I want to sleep in the mine
I want to sift through the dirt
Take every gem I can find
Sell them for double their worth
Free myself from the tie
Keep digging deep in the shaft
Learn to hate a blue sky
So I can master my craft
Taught myself to
Work through lunch
I know it's down here
But I ain't finding much
I want to know
How deep you go
Till it ain't worth
Coming back

The river looked clear today
Could see what I caught in the water
Fish lined up in the stream
To be the next man to the slaughter
Started a fire on the sand
Cooked my fresh victims to a char
Felt foolish leaving out meat
But best not leave a beast to starve
Thought long about my luck
As I headed back to the place
Most filling meal of the month
Received through some form of grace
Smelled whiffs of burning wood
Before I could even feel the heat
Ran so quick the fish came up
Hurried fast to see my defeat
Lost my lunch in the smoke
Threw my head down so I didn't see
Nothing left to look at anyway
So I let the fire take the trees
Slowly led myself to the shore
To see what was left of my portion
Best not leave a beast to starve
Tricks the wild plays on your caution
And if I were that beast
Would I be thankful or forgetful?
Would I bite the hand
Or let it feel my fur one last time?
I want that rub
That I used to wish after
But I know those fingers
Are now covered in grime

I Don't Need Myself

I don't need myself
As cruel as that might seem
My body's a collapsing beam
I don't need myself
I don't need myself
A modern engine running off of steam
A better fate is a pipe dream
I don't need myself
Hum along
When your being just feels wrong
Hum along
To this old tune
I don't trust myself
Will I do what it takes to survive?
Does this form even have the drive
I don't trust myself
I don't trust myself
How long can we stay alive?
Is that goal even worth the strive?
I don't trust myself
Hum along
When your being just feels wrong
Hum along
When you feel that's life too long
Hum along
When you're sick of hearing the song
Hum along
To this old tune
