Bloodshot Eyes

Birds, Bewildered
Fluttering against the glass like birds, bewildered
We suffered in the dungeons of our minds
Now the door is open wide to light unfiltered
Find your way to blue sky, I'll find mine
But hope of heart hasn’t happened yet
It’s only natural to feel regret
I think you were the one who said something untrue
How the loving thing to do
Was to set each other free
My mind is kinda fuzzy and it doesn’t much matter who
Maybe I said it to you
We set each other free
We can’t untake bad medicine we swallow
If I could I would rewind the hands of time
No, we can’t untake the treacherous paths we follow
I’m prayin’ you’ll find a lovely hill to climb
But peace of mind is elusive still
I love your soul and I always will
Hope of heart hasn’t happened yet
This coyote has a few regrets
Peace of mind is elusive still
I love your soul and I always will

Californians On Ice

Californians on Ice
Leo went down hard on his frozen driveway
His feet shot straight up to the sky
I was wishin’ someone caught it on video tape
But it’s sad to see a grown man cry
Californians on ice
Southern Californians goin’ nowhere faster
Californians slidin’ on ice
It’s an unmitigated disaster
If you find a polar bear in the Sahara
Suffering under the sun
Send up a flare and offer a prayer
For iguanas in Antarctica
Would your docile cat endure a wild habitat
Will the wolf on a chain survive
If I brave the storm to come knockin’ on your door
Be sweet to me when I arrive

Summer Rain
You’ve got so many plates on sticks
Spinnin’ round and round
Right now, I say, shut your eyes
And let ‘em all crash down
Go outside and dance out under
Heaven’s cloudy floor
What goes up always come down
Hey, don’t cry anymore
I’m gonna rise up over Ohio
Paint your gray sky blue
And fall down like summer rain on you
I’m gonna rise up over Ohio
Paint your gray sky blue
And fall down like summer rain on you
I hope to never hurt your heart
Oh, I have scarred a few
I can’t say how hard the wind will blow
When the storm rolls through
Your eyes are prettier than emeralds
How they shine
I wanna bless your tender soul
And soothe your troubled mind

Only Reasons
The city lights went out, I never planned it
I thought the face of every looter was concealed
So I broke my neighbor’s window like a bandit
And pretended hunger gave me cause to steal
There is no such thing as a perfect lover
A truly merciful friend is rare to find
We all cheat at least a little undercover
There is no blacker shadow-side than mine
I am so sorry
For the tears I brought to your eyes
I’m sorry for the lies
I won’t offer alibis
There are no innocent daughters
There are no innocent sons
No excuses
Only reasons
I don’t believe you should forgive me for my treason
The man who hurt you was no stranger to myself
I won’t offer bad excuses, just bad reasons
Like I was climbin’ Jacob’s ladder up to hell

House of Blues
I'm standing on the front porch
With a gas can in my left hand
and a cigarette in my right
Honey, if you wanna help me to burn it all down
Just give me a light
Not gonna live in a house of blues
Live in a house of blues
We love each other way too much to stay here
Not gonna live in a house of blues
Live in a house of blues
You know I love you way too much to die here with you, dear
Mostly all I wanted was to get inside your heart
I never did learn how
If I could you know I would turn it all around
But it's too late, baby, now
Bittersweet reverberations
That melancholy ghost is here
haunting every empty room
Meet me in the hallway
I’ll trade you tear for tear
You know I have forgiven you
I hope you have forgiven me

The Dizzy Wounded
Down every alleyway
They hide in the shadows, tricky ghouls
Cross your heart and pray
Sorry lovers and unhappy fools
I saw a thousand robins, it was almost absurd
Reminded me of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Birds”
Let’s not make sinister the beauty we find
When morning sun floods the dark of our minds
Before we begin our descent into madness
Why don't we, The dizzy wounded, dance?
Before we surrender euphoria to sadness
I say we, the dizzy wounded, dance
I felt your pain today
A rodeo clown gored by a bull
Forgive me if I play devil’s advocate
Tonight is wonderful
More than a million crickets chirpin’ in the trees
Music of the underworld, a symphony
Open wide the windows, step out in the yard
Every heart is broken, every soul is scarred

Because You’re Beautiful (Bloodshot Reprise)
The moon is in the water
The sun is on the rise
And we’ve been cryin’ all night long
I just wanna lift your wounded spirit to the sky
With a song
Because you’re beautiful
And I love you

The Way You Always Are
Forever you’re my brother, the antithesis of hated
But your drunken belligerence is unappreciated
It’s 3am right now, Oh yeah, so what, I called you first
It makes no matter anyhow whose misery is worse
The way you always are
Don’t be that way
The way you always be
Quit bein’ like you
The way you always are
Don’t be that way
And I won’t be the way I always am too
I don’t care if your case is more or less substantiated
Let’s tell it to the jury when we’re unintoxicated
My children love me still, Jesus suffers for my sin
And you don’t got a pool no more so I’m not goin’ in
It is a wonder I'm not in some gulley lacerated
My insolence is widely known, so what's to be debated?
I think you oughta let a little sunshine in your heart
Before some ranger shoots you with a tranquilizer dart
How ‘bout that?

Magic
You cross the blurry lines
Dividing faith and science
I love your humble soul
Admire your self reliance
Embrace the mystery
God only knows what's true
You believe in magic
And I believe in you
You believe in magic
You believe in magic
So I believe in magic too
You believe in magic
You believe in magic
So I believe in magic too
Cause I believe in you
We laugh the loudest
When we're laughing at ourselves
I wanna fire snowballs like
Will Farrell in "Elf"
To avenge your virgin heart
Guard you with an unseen shield
Lay you down and let you dream
In some enchanted field

We’ve got the Moon
We can face tomorrow
When the morning comes
Did somebody hurt you, baby?
I’m not that one
Please look into my eyes
See your true reflection
Let me love you now
We’ve got the moon shinin’ down
We’ve got the moon shinin’ down
Hey, the night is young
I say we have some fun
We’ve got the moon shinin’ down
Never wanna do you wrong
I only wanna do you right
Let your delinquent heart dance with mine tonight
Should the stars collide in the sky
We don’t have to worry about that now

The Time Has Come
Under charcoal sky, over clear water
A blue heron glides across the lake
We dive deep down to satisfy our hunger
Courageous creatures drown for true love’s sake
The time has come
To realize forgiveness
The time is now to forgive somebody else
We can’t undo the damage done
The day is new, here comes the sun
The time has come
To forgive your sorry self
A black cloud hovers over the horizon
I’m prayin’ hard and watching feathers float
The Man of Sorrows dances on the ocean
I’m still too faint of heart to leave the boat
A song of mercy resonates inside you
Listen close, be still, live and learn
Red blood flows through your veins like healing rivers
Redemption every time the planet turns
Under charcoal sky, over clear water

Awesome compilation of quality tracks from "the vaults." It is a shame some were not included on their respective releases originally. Sadly, and like the 2-CD reissue of Reconciled and Into the Woods, more extensive liner notes would have made this release all that much better. Still, great to hear more from The Call.
