Arrest me with your smile, I'm not thinking about bended knee make my body burn, make my stomach bleed some of us are spoiled, some of us are broke all my bridges burned, and all my money smoked None of my time is mine, some of it is yours hours slip through my veins, and leak out my pores I don't know where I am, none of the past seems real I'm stumbling where I stand, I sin what time I steal You never call to ask "how are you?" but you're not far away now are you? you've never let me down before still I want to know you more

Hey brother, won't you tell me what you've done? Why bother her? Shouldn't you be on the run? It ain't work if it's all fun It ain't life if it's all done Born again, but I'm still lost Paying dues, but what's the cost? Sometimes it's hard to see through this maze that I weave Hey brother, won't you show her what you've done? Why bother her? Consequences have you stunned
3.	Age 04:48	lyrics	buy track
Is it just me or is this a loaded game? Broke my heart yet I feel the same because I'm sick of growing older, and my blood runs colder with age Could you play them for a fool? Do you hate them because they're cool? When will you get revenge? Will you care when it ends? Everybody look at me I'm so fresh in my white tee Does that mean I think I'm black, and if so, how would you react? Is it just me or is this a loaded game? Broke my heart yet I feel the same because I'm sick of going nowhere, and my blood runs colder with age

If you love it as much as her but you need both in your world in two directions you're pulled If you're tired of this shit yet you can't swim out of it your pot is over full Should've known better still it shouldn't be my fault even if I crumble to the asphalt should've known a better way I should've had a better lie you never thought for me, and I never thought twice If you're worth more than you earn and you know more than you've learned but you're bogged down by the mud once you've stumbled in this trap know there is no crossing back the bridge wiped out in the flood If you're longing for your past because it's better than this crass new existence that you know roller coaster you're front row yet you long to take it slow just remember that time has passed

I hear mariachi static on my radio and them tubes they glow in the dark I'm there with her in Ensenada while I'm here in Morrell Park Carmelita, hold me tighter I think I'm sinking down I'm about to go drink Natty Boh on the outskirts if town Well I've pawned my Smith and Wesson now I've headed to meet my dude he's got a store on St. Paul street near Yum Yum's Chinese food Well I'm sitting here playing solitaire because I can't play Russian roulette and there ain't no good way to tell you this but I drank up your welfare check
6.	Scooby 03:45	lyrics	buy track
Nobody told me, nobody came and I do believe I've never been sane and all my friends say that I've lost touch and I guess I'm liked, but I want to be loved can you reach me still? I doubt you ever will Nobody told me, nobody cares and I do believe I'm reaching despair and all I do is never enough and everyone's just so big and tough can you reach me still? I doubt you ever will Oh moonlight, carve my name into your side oh moonlight, can't nobody wrong my write oh moonlight, carve my name into your side oh moonlight, can't nobody down my high until you get your fill I doubt you ever will Nobody told me, it's never alright I'm too tired, I don't want to fight and all I do is never enough and everything seems so big and tough can you reach me still? I hope you never will Oh moonlight, call my name
7.	Snowy Day In April 03:13	lyrics	buy track
Say it to their face you know we have not moved, but lost our place it seeps into your skin and no, it never hurts when it begins the prophecy is now you need to find a where and why and how do it for your health you need to find a way to love yourself Caught up in the race it seems like we push and pull, but have no pace there's nowhere to begin it's just that no one cares and it's a sin hypocrisy now you get hurt or screwed some way, somehow do it for the wealth you know it's so much fun to sell yourself Every moment that I never saw, or I never followed through was every time I thought I never could, whatever would I do?
8.	Roll the Dice 03:19	lyrics	buy track
If you have a lot to live for, name your price if you have a single reason, list it twice you'll see what you live for you'll see because you're forced If you don't have much to live for, roll the dice drunk off of poor decisions and bad advice you're free to gain more you're free because you're forced well I know now, no I tried it once I don't regret it I can't believe you're so upset now I know I can't afford to do it again Well I gambled once, I don't regret it I can't believe I'm so in debt now I know I can't afford to do it again

about

Soup Hands Baltimore, Maryland

Soup Hands is Mike McKinley, Curtis Rhoades, and formerly Geeh.
All songs we're originally written acoustically by Mike, and then brought to Soup Hands to make into something mind blowing.
Curtis programmed the drums and then added heavy guitars, then bass was layered by Geeh. After this, the finishing spices of keys and synth were added, and now you have You Don't Need Cookies To Be Fortunate. ... more
