Falling 03:48
lyrics
buy track
I feel I’m falling Nothing I can do My grip is failing I’m falling straight to you Inevitable hands are feeble hoping you can catch me Cause at this rate it’s been too late to save me since you met me Darkness down below but it’s the only place to go Yeah it’s all or nothing it’s the only way I know I used to laugh at all the love songs playing on the radio And even though I’d sing along I thought that ain’t how life goes But now I’m seeing what they’re talking about Ground opening up I’m falling falling An apocalyptic helplessness Slipping through the fault line, falling No choice in the matter no point of return Step into the fire and feel the burn Immersed by your touch it’s all too much Consumed alive taken by your clutches I’m just beginning to understand The depth of what this could be All I can do is take your hand And unlock the mystery

Light in You 03:48
lyrics
buy track
You’re broken, so you can’t See past your flaws But we all break, we make mistakes Do things that give us pause Sometimes you think you know too much You keep it inside, you’re trying to be tough You fear if you let it out Only darkness will flow and it will swallow you whole I can see the light in you – it’s unmistakable With all the things that you’ve been through – it’s still unbreakable Sometimes it’s afraid to shine but it always comes through When the sun doesn’t wanna come up – I see the light in you What I see, a masterpiece A portrait of your life Resilience, the brilliance Of your colors shining bright Every stroke, every smudge all combined Take a couple steps back and then you’ll find What you thought was black and bleak Just helps all the shine take a hold of my eyes I know you can’t see it now But I’ll try to show you somehow

The Bar 04:05
lyrics
buy track
It’s been 3 weeks, but it feels like an eternity A bad dream, wish I’d wake up - you’d turn to me Grab my arm and say everything will be okay But it’s 3pm and I’m just crawling out of bed Hurts again – last night still not out my head Everything is hazy – feels like I’m going crazy Cuz I’m playin’ ain’t no sunshine on repeat Slow dancing with nobody but me What was the matter I couldn’t see I stumble off to that tired spot Full mind and an empty heart Same drink, same seat Man what happened to me Later on when the crowds roll in I’m just as lonely as when I first came in Looking around in this bar tonight I see you raised the bar real high I loved the way we did things on a whim There were bad days but we’d just roll along with them Now I can’t cope I’m on a downward slope All that’s left are images running round in my mind Trying to see if I can find Where it went wrong – why you’re up and gone I can’t be bothered to speak But in my heart I scream

Life 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Campfire philosophy Something that stuck with me Your spark never fades away Just like the fire before us We can light an entire forest With what we do and say Even when we run out of gas What we’ve left behind still lasts Life is a never ending one way street We’re blips on a timeline as far as we can see Everyone’s stricken with strife, but we’re all given gifts So take your life and do something with it When you’re gone you’re still around Filling hearts, not just the ground You best leave something worth the space Even when we’ve ended our path What we’ve left behind still lasts Learn from others, take it in Know that everyone’s different Presuppose as little as you can Use the knowledge that you’ve gained Pass it on, don’t be ashamed Everybody reach out your hand

Momma 04:29
lyrics
buy track
Momma I know you’re out there And I never have enough to say and I have never been that brave but Momma thanks for everything And all the memories that you made stick with me today I hope someday I’ll see you under sunny skies Cause every time I look up I'm reminded of your eyes I know you’re worn and tired, I bet the pain is on your face Whatever gets thrown at you, you handle it with grace I still believe that love conquers all And darkness gets drowned out by light And the bruises that we’re feeling need some healing But I think it’s worth the fight I’m still scared about what’s out there There’s still hurt on the horizon But I hold out hope that I’ll hear you say Come to me my son Momma I know you’re in there Neath those calloused castle walls fortified by every brawl Momma I still remember All those little slips and falls that you would carefully resolve I hope someday I’ll see you under sunny skies Cause every time I look up it reminds me of your eyes I know you’ve got it in you, you’re stronger than I But you’ve got more to lose so momma take your time Running around so lost inside Doing laps in my mind How did it turn out like this? Put on a smile and act like I’m fine Heaven knows that I keep trying To push it back inside But right now I’m crying

Medicine 03:28
lyrics
buy track
Your solution was pain and sorrow But it won’t be like that tomorrow I’ve kicked your filthy habit Your master cure is no longer credible Studies now show that what you said was bull I see the needle but I’m not gonna have it I grew ill from your false pills HEY So I’m the bad son HEY Taste your medicine HEY Just look what you have done Taste your medicine HEY So you had your fun HEY Taste your medicine It’s time for me to run HEY You’re not my medicine Your miracle drug with its potent aroma Worked until I rose from the coma I finally see what you’re all about You’re making the recipe up as you go What are you doing you don’t really know I thank the lord I found my way out No more infections in my blood We know your lectures are a fraud

I'm Not the Kind 03:15
lyrics
buy track
I'm not the guy you walk away from I'm not following, no need to run Close that door and then I'm done I'm not the guy you walk away from I'm not the kind you leave behind It'll leave you wishing you were still mine You hurt me good but I'll be fine I'm not the kind you leave behind I'm not the one you up and leave on You gotta find something else to lean on When you're missing me I'll be moving on I'm not the one you up and leave on I'm not the kind you leave behind I'll be hovering in the back of your mind You'll be left praying for a sign I'm not the kind you leave behind

So Much More 04:28
lyrics
buy track
I was 19 – didn’t know a thing About the whims of the heart You could have scared me away, been too much to take But you had me from the start You showed me a world outside of my shell It wasn’t all a cold-hearted hot-headed hell You helped me see the good in my self You didn’t ask for me to be anybody else So much more than a beautiful smile So much more than let’s talk a while You were everywhere but so far away Everything faded when I saw your face So much more than I love you Never felt something more deep and true We bridged the gap of a thousand miles So much more than a beautiful smile I was rescued when I felt you We didn’t have to say a word I’ve been chasing that feeling Nothing beats that unspoken comfort I can’t even count how many times girl is rhymed with world But I understood in those times when you sent me to the stars Cause when I was up so high I knew one thing for sure All I wanted when I finished flying was to land in your arms

Soft Spot 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Of all the misadventures of my life I still remember all those crazy nights Standing in the parking lot freezing Trying not to be the one to give in Couldn’t leave without something To remember you by Time went slow and we held each other tight I was no Beast but you were Belle in the night Dancing around till we were dizzy Like we were old school Disney I saw myself when I was 80 Still getting lost in those eyes And I thought what I got was all I ever needed In my heart, you found a spot A place safe and secret It held you gently like nothing else did But it had to let you go when everything bled There was nothing left to do But I still got a soft spot For you The long conversations faded out And in their place was confusion and doubt People saying you were crazy But I thought to myself just maybe You were the one who was gonna save me And we could figure it out

Queen Cobra 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Slithering into your mind The charmer turns charmed with all her lies She makes you think she’s on your side In too deep she owns your life She’ll hide in the sands of your headspace Crippling your very thoughts The venom to the enemy she said she gave Was saved for you after all She’ll dance around your gaze Intoxicate your ways Hiss at your back but kiss your face She’ll poison everyone Slick words from that forked tongue Everybody’s dead and nobody’s won Sweet talk Body lock All function lost Sucked in Spit all over You've entered the lair of the deadly queen cobra Slithering into your soul You’ll need her to make you whole Slipping into total decay She’ll make you think it’s all ok Everyone’s a puppet in her game Put you down to raise her name Before you fall under her spell See the signs and run like hell

What Have I Done 02:37
lyrics
buy track
My vision starting to fade Boundaries have all but decayed My eyes like laser beams Cutting through you, bursting at the seams Break pedal’s broken I’m tearing it open Animalistic – going ballistic I’ve lost all control Instincts setting in what trouble am I getting in The feeling takes a hold of me I can’t see with these blinders on Wake me up, what have I done Bolts of lightning in my brain Fuses blown I’m blown away Heart is beating out of my chest Just let my body do the rest

Memories on Our Side 03:20
lyrics
buy track
All I wanted was forever But forever seems too far We’re running low on fuel and hope And I don’t know where we are I can’t figure out where to turn All we got are memories on our side The flame has all but died There’s hope in an ember and I still remember The sparkle in your smile The films play in my mind Stuck on rewind The memories on our side When I look back At the moments we had I’ll try to smile instead of being sad Nothing to regret, no what could have been yeah I still cherish the little things and the joy they bring And the love that once bound us The passion that surrounded us Don’t hold us anymore

Don't Cry for Me 03:41
lyrics
buy track
Don’t cry for me Yeah I know you think I’m not ok Don’t cry for me I never meant to cause you any pain It’s my hope that you put your hope in what you believe is right I pray it compels you, it tells you, saying don’t cry for me tonight Too many regrets pile up in my head So many things I wish I could have said Just know I don’t want you to change You’ll be just fine if you stay just the same I know what you’ve heard and that’s not me But I understand why you’d believe He’s got your world in his grip He’d crush you if you ever slipped I know you can think for yourself I know you do it well I see why you’re hesitant With promises of hell I hope this song finds you well I hope it finds you happy I’ll try to feel the same way too But it’s hard when you’re not with me

A Mile Away 02:49
lyrics
buy track
When I get stuck in a big ol’ rut When it feels like I just can’t win When I lose sight of what really matters You set me straight again When I feel like it’s all caving in – When nothing feels like a breeze When I’m traveling on an angry ocean You put my mind at ease You know just who I am No veils, screens or shams And now I stand here knowing that you will rescue me And I’ll be left here glowing uncontrollably And I know it happens every time And I see it coming from a mile away coming from a mile away When I feel like the fog is unceasing When it seems the days are a blur You clear the skies with a single smile I know I have no power
