Am I A Selfish Man?

I'll try to say this very simply
The truth is hard for me and I'll no longer turn the other cheek
a backwards sacrifice so gently
making life for me so easy
while you bare the punishment
You always make it work
Even when I'm not around
Handle stress with fun
Early up to run
Am I a selfish man?
I'll try to put this very gently or reduce my conscious to
a frazzled state (of) self loathing paradigms
The scale is tilting to the future
and I keep beaming signals home
While you keep baring the punishment
You always make it work
Even when I'm not around
Handle stress with fun
Early up to run
And I'm just sitting here
Doing just what I like
Every night
Its easy to make the case of just who I am
of just who I am
Am I a selfish man?

Skulk

Do you want to soak?
Do the math
You sliced my leg in the bath
Tip-toe around, the edge of town
Down below...you want to go
Are you happy?
Are you sad?
How long could you wait?
For a taste of this (me) human morsel served upon your plate
Watch this feline Skulk
Through my life
Head in (a) sack and rides my back
Drawing blood, he needs his food
Down below... you want to go
Are you happy?
Are you sad?
How long could you wait?
For a taste of this (me) human morsel served upon your plate
Are you happy?
Are you sad?
How long could you wait?
For a taste of this (me) human morsel served upon your plate

A Few Rough Patches

I'm real pissed but I know that it won't be long
I need to be climbing and take a break from writing songs
I've been waiting a whole damn year
L.A. can wait a little bit longer
just enough time to feel a whole lot stronger
Running to the heat
get away from the snow
back into the arms of the people I know
running to the desert
heading south from the cold
back into the arms of those folks that I know
It's a go, it's a go if I throw it all away
tell me "no", tell me "no" and I'm back with my family
It's as easy as that
it's as easy as that
Getting real close now, finally see the end in sight
Had a few rough patches here, can't say I won every fight
I've been driving but I let a ghost steer
L.A. can wait a little bit longer
just enough time to get a whole lot stronger
Running to the heat
get away from the snow
back into the arms of the people I know
running to the desert
heading south from the cold
back into the arms of those folks that I know
It's a go, it's a go if I throw it all away
tell me "no", tell me "no" and I'm back with my family
It's as easy as that
it's as easy as that

If She's Not Careful

time goes by so fast
don't even notice that it's happening
can't break away from the counting
wouldn't even want to if I could
she does make me laugh
and can break my heart in two if she's not careful
wouldn't ever leave if I had better
doesn't matter if she don't feel the same
I won't go
you can't drag me away
no I won't go
you can't drag me away
