"Oblivion" lyrics
"Oblivion"
Well I am not the man I thought I'd be
I've fallen short of any sympathy
And I've been pleading with God to set me free
Lord I'm tired of all the human things
It's time for me to leave
Oh I have tried and I have failed
And I have burned some bridges on my trail
And with a broken heart and a wounded knee
Lord, I've stumbled toward oblivion
But you followed me
Oh and the coyotes are always calling me
Oh with a mourning howl and cursed scream
And I feel their pain in everything
I believe that I was one of them
In some distant dream
Oh I have tried and I have failed
And I have burned some bridges on my trail
And with a broken heart and a wounded knee
I've stumbled toward oblivion
But you followed me
When the Lord made me, he made a loaded gun
And I have beat better men that should have won
But when they're pleading from mercy from your right hand
I swear there's not a single difference
Between a crook and an honest man
Oh I have tried and I have failed
And I have burned some bridges on my trail
And with a broken heart and a wounded knee
I've stumbled toward oblivion
But you followed me

I don't know what I've done

But I always feel like shit when I wake up...
Days N' Daze - "Post Party Depression" Peel the mask away
Drop the masquerade
Lose the tough guy facade
The world's a scary place
Everybody's afraid

Steve Earle - "The Mountain" I was born on this mountain a long time ago
Before they knocked down the timber and strip-mined the coal
When you rose in the mornin' before it was light
To go down in that dark hole and come back up...
