Track Name: Boat Wakes, Devils, And Friends
Summer's over
Family trees of strangers grow
Who's my brother?
Never had the guts to know, I know

I'm awkward here
My hand to hand combat's off
Crowd wrestling fear
That I'll be exposed a fraud

I'm lost in the search for applause
Boat wakes, devils, and friends will say I've changed
Yeah, I've changed

Raised in class rooms
Uniform learning the rules
While the halls croon
No such thing as smart and cool, I'm cool

Escalator
Move me up without moving
But now I'm on stairs
Unprepared for post-schooling

I win a job atoning sin
Boat wakes, devils, and friends will say I've changed
Yeah, I've changed

Stuck behind bars
Jail cell city come winter
Dreaming of stars
On a small island with her, with her

But I can't leave here
I already drank the punch
Faith in new years
No solutions in the sun

I run tied to these things I've done
Boat wakes, devils, and friends will say I've changed
Yeah, I've changed
Track Name: Black Gold
A village pulled like weeds
A country lets their people bleed
Oh Lord, oh Lord

And in return, citizens turn cold
Preachers turn into G.I. Joes
I’ll fight, I’ll fight

And I’m watching on the screen yeah
My Americana dream yeah
Oh Lord, Oh Lord

But I’m oceans deaf to their pain,
Killing greed and the desert heat
Where a refugee clings to believing
That when we hear we’ll come to free them

Every desperate cause you’ve known to slide
And it seems the truth was something left behind
Been counting pennies for so long they glow
I know, I know, I know…black gold

But money makes the rich go round
And keeps the poor out of our towns
Oh Lord, Oh Lord

And if I never find a way
Of breaking through this divided state
I’ll fight, I’ll fight

Could I give up my own comfort
For the fortune of another?
Oh Lord, Oh Lord

But no one can kill this ghost yet
Consumer minds are bound to forget
About the troubles of a torn land
When its cost outweighs benefit

Every desperate cause you’ve known to slide
And it seems the truth was something left behind
Been counting pennies for so long they glow
I know, I know, I know…black gold

Take charge
Got something to tell you boy
Right here
Right here, right now
You know now ignorance is impossible
Maybe this is guilt talkin’
Write off Johnny

Every desperate cause you’ve known to slide
And it seems the truth was something left behind
Been counting pennies for so long they glow
I know, I know, I know…black gold

Waiting on a cure that’s more divine
Cause’ a worldly resolution’s hard to find
When you're counting pennies for so long they glow
I know, I know, I know…black gold

Every desperate cause you’ve known to slide
And it seems the truth was something left behind
Been counting millions for so long they glow
I know, I know, I know…black gold
