Corey Rieman and the Dilemma Band
ALL HANDS ON DECK
There’s no need for another person to tell me that all my life’s a waste I get no gratification to keeping myself on a steady pace I’ve got my health, for the time being I’ve got myself, that’s all I’m needing There is no justification to over work yourself on down the road I’ve spent so many hours in contemplation as to what the future will hold I’ve got my reasons for believing Don’t use the seasons to measure what you’re achieving You’re not stupid, you’re not lazy, you’re not a waste of space and air You’re not dumb, you’re not crazy, you just see another way to get there So don’t panic, you’re ok You’re gunna make it, it’s another day Throw away the implications of not following the beaten path You know the grass is just a little bit greener on a road that’s not on the map Don’t melt the frost, turns into a stream There is no poison that can kill your strongest dream
Give me the answers to the questions that I have and hold for you I want to see if I have made my point clear through and through There’s nothing more I want to do Than lay on the grass with the starry sky You can name the constellations if you want I don’t know their names, but I know The name of you All I want to do is hold your hand tonight I can see your breath in the autumn air tonight I’m standing awestruck in your grace Don’t mind the hair standing on my neck A frozen fever is what I have And I wouldn’t mind freezing to death In the name of you And I’d give you all I could And I’d do all I could And I’d make all I could In the name of you And I’d change myself if you wanted me to But you know I never would But I would if I could If I could If I could If I could If I could In the name of you In the name of you
Like Samson and Delilah She went and cut his hair It left him weak and helpless And his head was cold and bare Now I kind of feel like Sampson because I lost that thing The crutch that kept me up The floating in my sink My head is feeling chilly Delilah made her cut The thing that helped my feelings gone Now there’s no step to my strut And I’m an empty person I’m a drunk without a drink A junkie with no needle A wise man who can't think So take a look around me I’m a dirty worthless rat My allies all abandoned me I was blinded as I sat And I’m chained here just like Sampson The Pillars on my arms The Building’s tumbling over me Because I caused myself such harm And I’m chained here Feeling just like Sampson (x4)
Searching for the stimulation That my bones felt not too long ago Craving spiritual self-depreciation to sink back down below Search like an explorer, search like an explorer Finding rock bottom, finding rock bottom Land ho? Land ho? Find myself drowning in a chorus of echoes Telling me not to look back Broke and broken futures to be rewarded If I keep paying homage to the past Trying to find an answer, trying to find an answer Asking no questions, asking no questions So low Land ho? Excommunication from my body of the blood That used to flood my veins Empty is the feeling, even though I'm feeling better Yeah I'm still going insane Committing self treason, committing self treason But I'm using reason, but I'm using a reason Where to go Land ho? Oh so low Land Ho?
I love the way that you don’t care And I love the wind when it’s in your hair Like a banner waving through the air I guess it’s true Baby, I’m a fool for you It’s kinda funny when you flirt around Your jokes are dry and your voice is loud But those eyes, they can get me when I’m feeling down It might be true Baby I’m a fool for you I love the way, and I love the feeling I love the song, and they way you sing it Come to me girl, show me how you bring it I know it’s true Baby I’m a fool for you (x4) I’m a fool
I know you’re trying to sleep upstairs I know it’s getting late I’m sorry if I woke you There’s something I must state I’m sorry that I treated you wrong I’m some kind of monster A selfish wannabe I didn’t mean to hurt you I just want you to be free I’m so sorry that I treated you wrong I know its me who should be in front of the barrel I know it’s me who should be locked in some cage Like some child, I keep you shackled From ever going your own way Please put me in my place Tell me I’m out of tries Be as harsh as you can I’ve got no right to cry I’m so sorry that I treated you wrong I’m sorry it took me so long to give you this song
Good day moonlight, goodnight starshine The world is off its axis just a little while Salutations to the sunshine You move me like a map across the cosmos And I’m twenty lightyears from home (x2) The moon glow hit me harder than the moonshine Silver sky clouds with the shock of white lightning It’s going to ground me, ground me (x2) It’s going to ground me tonight And I’m twenty lightyears from home (x2) I want to walk myself into the darkness Just the full moon above my head Yes I know that I might trip, and I might stumble a bit But I’m totally and completely OK with it It’s a huge mistake, and I’m willing to make it I’ll face the consequences later on down the road And I’m twenty lightyears from the start There might be twenty lightyears from where I’m going to be And I’m twenty lightyears from home Yes and twenty lightyears from home
