Away 04:07

Love a good revolt, Care enough to strike Fly to your deep roots, Release while holding tight, Away White lies in name of truth, eyes wide as a shield Mouth closed, heart on your sleeve Right here buy far away, Away You've heard these thoughts a million times No need to hide I'd gladly act the fool with you My heart is one day to explode I hope it trickles down in due time Kiss me over the phone, Reach out while hanging up Sing to me in deepest sleep, Whisper and feel the earth move You've heard these thoughts a million times No need to hide I'd gladly act the fool with you My heart is one day to explode I hope it trickles down in due time Head inside this place Feel your sweet embrace I don't want to go away... You've heard these thoughts a million times No need to hide I'd gladly act the fool with you My heart is one day to explode I hope it trickles down in due time

Only for a day, the only day you`ll pay attention Like DMC said, should be always in your head Not next year What’s in it for us, no minus all plus Held tightly A, B, C or D, decided in your tree Ponder this I wish that you could see the beauty of my thoughts So much is lost in the translation On party lines, voting for your kind Who for? What’s in it for me? For the healthy and the free? All that Guilty, that’s me Cornered Pity, mercy, all I have. I understand you’ve a lot going on No time to Fight the fight, see the light Maybe next year I’ll come running I wish that you could see the beauty of my thoughts So much is lost in the translation

My Pulse 02:37
lyrics

Some don't know what it is I see in you, I can't explain I've tried to in words 'til blue in the face I know, it just won't do Would I give it all up for your flame burning bright I would, to capture it Nothing else can affect me like your touch The feel of sound I feel the pulse in my head It echoes through my being It bubbles to the surface Through fingers Through my voice to all of you Whether you love, or whether you hate My passion's most deeply bound With the strings to tightly wound Forever lasts the sound, I pray Ever heard the echo before you said the words It might be too much Forgive me if it's all I think about It's in my veins Melody, beat, and prose in one Or at a time Colourful is this music in my life May it colour yours I feel the pulse in my head It echoes through my being It bubbles to the surface Through fingers Through my voice to all of you Whether you love, or whether you hate My passion's most deeply bound With the strings to tightly wound Forever lasts the sound, I pray I feel the pulse in my head It echoes through my being It bubbles to the surface Through fingers Through my voice to all of you Whether you love, or whether you hate My passion's most deeply bound With the strings to tightly wound Forever lasts the sound, I pray

On From Here 03:57
lyrics

Between these coloured lines, I'm trying Don't want to see you hurt or trapped To touch is not to hold, I know now Please know I don't see you run Please stay true to yourself, Have faith in that The path to your heart, Could you walk it blind? No hand in your hand You syncopate my will, You syncopate my heart Somewhere out there, You're looking the other way On this half mast day, I'm weak I know it was a while, But I'm thinking Maybe we were too green, In love Please stay true to yourself, Have faith in that The path to your heart, Could you walk it blind? No hand in your hand Please stay true to yourself, Have faith in that The path to your heart I hope you can walk it blind, On from here

They Drove 03:33
lyrics

Told to shut her mouth How dare she throw her words around, So carelessly She was one of their own They say the twisted light of stardom, Owns her soul They say the cause is just To cast a net around the whole world, And fill it up Maybe you, maybe me, They can cast their spells Hate and misery, And then they all fall down Happiness won't hold us down Please stay true my friend And use your own mind, heart, and pure voice Keep them up at night Think of the wounded few When made unlikely heroes stood up, Not to back down Maybe you, maybe me, They can cast their spells Hate and misery, And then they all fall down Happiness won't hold us down

No Pearl 02:37
lyrics

I sit here though the campfire's out Oh, what a night The singers have all gone home, I didn't put up a fight Why is it so hard, To pen something bright All they wanted was a happy tune A little Brown Eyed Girl But then I run away forgetting all the chords All oyster, no pearl Why is it easy, To write in a minor key Why is it easy, To write in a minor key We derive so much strength From both the bad times and the great On my palette I'll create Whatever shade my thoughts will take

Along The Road Ahead 03:08
lyrics

I am where I want to be Colour in the time between, Every possibility I will play for you tonight Got my weapon of choice, can you hear my voice Do you think it will be alright My be lost but I want to find On the business end of a business That I like with half a mind Which direction can I turn To devote my life may cut like a knife, But not before I learn But I just don't know, Who to turn to Thoughts no the next wave, Thoughts on the next wave with you Thoughts no the next wave, Thoughts on the next wave with you All I want is to be blind, If I know too much or look too hard I'll never find my kind Don't know which way will take me forth With all mu luck if I'm headed south, I'll end up going north But I just don't know, Who to turn to Thoughts no the next wave, Thoughts on the next wave with you Thoughts no the next wave, Thoughts on the next wave with you Please forgive if I'm sounding down Cause I'm skipping along the road ahead It's you who sees the frown But I just don't know, Who to turn to Thoughts no the next wave, Thoughts on the next wave with you Thoughts no the next wave, Thoughts on the next wave with you

The Failing Tide 04:54
lyrics

I remember when Our fields were green And the water was its blood Shouldn't live like we're dying But my fight is gone Gone with the tide We didn't waste but now, We only want One more beat, Of mother's heart Our day was done When the pulse was sold We have no shares To barter with When I turned down my mouth And made my bed I broke my divining rod No more skipping stones No more dip and swing This is my setting song We didn't waste but now, We only want One more beat, Of mother's heart I wish that I Could transport these words To the days gone by Before 'too late" got hold

Thirty-Two 03:55
lyrics

No one said love would be easy I'll hold you tight if you want me to Close your eyes you feel lonely But your family is all right here You try so hard to capture Another beam of the light you share But look deep into his eyes Take that feeling and run with it It flew in through the window, Fluttered past the door Though its beak was empty, You still need more It flew in through the window, Fluttered past the door Though its beak was empty, You'll pray some more I want to tell you both that I love you Feel the warmth of my broken heart The strength of people around you Will bring forth the love that's there But you've got someone who's special Wrap your arms around him now And as his small lips curl upward, May your spirits fly as high It flew in through the window, Fluttered past the door Though its beak was empty, You still need more It flew in through the window, Fluttered past the door Though its beak was empty, You'll pray some more It flew in through the window, Fluttered past the door Though its beak was empty, You still need more It flew in through the window, Fluttered past the door Though its beak was empty, You'll pray some more

Vows 03:24

"You got it all you're fancy free There's so much you could learn from me The best years of you life are When untied, unbroken" He said to me But you don't know me, Your majesty I'll do just fine, I'll walk my own line, all mine All the time In my two years I will disagree There's so much you could learn from me If you find her, the right one A soul mate, not cell mate How rich you'd be I see your swagger, But I know That you're just limping A victim of you own Washed out sarcasm

Black Coffee 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Awake before the sun comes up With time to think about the world And what's in store for me today I scheme with no firm plans Place the ground beneath my feet It's not that I hate the workweek But I'm at the helm, king of the boat Dancing to a song that I wrote Part edge part flow, to remind me that I'm free I can see your hands are cold So come inside Without the laughter that you bring I think that I'd cry Have to share it with another… I take my coffee black Safe in the knowing that The bitterness is confined to a cup Lighten the corners of my month And float away I'm drunk on the liberty Afforded by my whereabouts I choose to turn the page Or do I kick back or find a cure For whatever ails the world? I can see your hands are cold So come inside Without the laughter that you bring I think that I'd cry Have to share it with another… I can see your hands are cold So come inside Without the laughter that you bring I think that I'd cry Have to share it with another…

I know I ran too fast for you When first I saw the view But I realized so soon I'd get caught up in you so tight I sat there and spun ‘round Try not to hurt a flower But for you, I do Now I know the rain was there for us to grow Now we're planted in our fields of gold I look at you ‘cross this bed I know where we belong Sit here spinning 'round I'll try to hold you like I should Oh, I do… Sit here spinning 'round I'll try to hold you like I should
