If dreams could lie
And wisdom be untrue,
Could we survive
Or die without a clue?
If rules won't bend
And love forever unbroken,
Will this heart soon mend
Or fade away with the changing winds?
Questions without answers
May go unmentioned
And may all the midnight dancers
Song never end
If hope's a guess
And daydreams are just a thought,
Is love worthless
Or even more when it's bought?
If respect goes unearned
And no one heeds the call,
Does the stone go unturned
And are we subject to fall?
Questions without answers
May be left on the shelf
And may all the daily romancers
Sing their song themselves
Questions without answers
They interrupt the fun
And may all the treetop glancers
Find a song for everyone
Questions without answers
May they be said and done
And may all the treetop glancers
Find a song for everyone

A weeping willow hiding a whip-poor-will
Over the trash strewn ground
He's singing plainly
I'm thinking maybe
It's not as simple as it sounds
No, it's not as simple as it sounds
Honeydew melting in the back of a rusted truck
Put that cash in my hand, man
I'll sling a song for you
It's what I oughta do
Y'all have been so kind
So let's hear it for 'em one more time
Our bodies twist and turn like interrupted prayers
Lick the broken glass
Playing the hammer in a junkyard orchestra
Hubcaps spinning on the cymbal stand
Dragstrip slips and a toilet to fix, well
We don't need no more problems around here
No, we don't need no more problems around here

Todd Elson - Trust In Me
04:15

I know you're scared of all of the unknown
It's a place we've never seen outside of this tiny home
There's no map or guide to help us along
No right turn to correct all that we left wrong
Nothing I can say to ease your frightened view
Just put your trust in me and I'll place in you
Wandering hearts cannot be held in jest
Cannot know its true worth until it stands the test
But I'll hold yours close to my chest
Soar alongside me into that sinking sunset
The night sky is bitter when the moon hangs low
Darkness hides the path on the distance we must go
Moisture from the rain puts a chill out into the air
As we head out for a destination that may not even be there
Hiding in the shadows down a lonesome avenue
Just put your trust in me and I'll place in you
Lost souls cannot be held for long
Cannot know its battle cry until it writes its own fight song
But I'll hold yours long enough to correct all of my wrongs
Walk beside me until we reach the dawn
A worried mind cannot hold memories
Cannot hold the words to create your own story
But I'll write yours with the ones you've shined upon
Stay beside me until this darkness is gone

She don't believe in death
But we've been smoking meth
Been up three days straight
Burnt down the Motel Eight
And I've been tired of this shit
For too damn long
She knows I've been stepping out
She has too without a doubt
The car is hers but we need the cash
Superficial wounds from a total crash
And I've been tired of this shit
For too damn long
There's blood and dope on her nose ring
After a couple shots she swore she couldn't sing
A wedding band on her nightstand
Another loaded dealer's hand
And I've been tired of this shit
For too damn long
Sweet Sisyphus
Steep climb
Build that mountain
One step at a time
