It Won't Wait 03:48
lyrics

Here is your life C’mon take a slice Of what it is That surrounds your feet The years in the trench The years in the fight Here is your chance C’mon pick a fight With what you’ve learned It seems you should know What came before And even though We’re missing the parts To pick up the pace This is your chance C’mon now It won’t wait It won’t wait It won’t wait Another Day You will be hazed In the arms of the night With what it is Tied around your feet Though you move right Through the smoke and the haze A beacon to Your better days The years on the bench We knew you could start To hold down the reigns And make your mark They’re damning the truth You’re buying the lie This is your chance C’mon now It won’t wait It won’t wait It won’t wait Another Day The perfect assortment of flowers Will be yours to admire for hours I’ll be waiting right here if you need me Soak the paper and place in the seedling Awaiting the right type of weather Always taking the bad with the better As you tap on the window to find me I leave all the bad dreams behind me It won’t wait It won’t wait It won’t wait Another Day

I think I Ought-a know what’s going on my love I think I Ought-a know what’s going on inside I think I Ought-a know what’s going on my love I think I Ought-a know what’s going on inside See me on the run Trying ‘til I’m done I think I Get it when I can Always better when You get me to a point where I can understand Get away From the things you thought of yesterday State of mind And a fear we’re falling far behind Better stay In a basement every other day Not a stage Where we just might have to pay to play See me on the run Trying ‘til I’m done I think I Get it when I can Always better when You get me to a point where I can understand

Salt 02:46
lyrics

Beneath the feet of those around Who listen closely to the sound In the lost and found Will find there’s nothing left to hear Only to see it reappear But its not real Oh my will is unshaken Though my heart’s still racing Imaginations of the young Their day has only just begun Past number one Prepare for all that you may see An unfeasible decree Though it may be Oh my will is unshaken Though my heart’s still racing’ There’s only salt inside my tears

Very Far 02:02

Stamp my wrist A wall of shaking fists Sweat rolls down Vibrate feel the sound Sign my shirt Sleeping in the dirt Sell your song Act like there’s nothing wrong If you’re in a band And you play guitar And you want a record deal But you won’t get very far Name your band Learn it second hand That the name’s all wrong We knew it all along All your dreams Live in infamy Lack success Just like all the rest If you’re in a band And you play guitar And you want a record deal But you won’t get very far

Solitary Night 03:26

If ever you’re in trouble don’t ask why If you’re ever on the double don’t you die And if ever you’re in trouble we’ll be there on the double And if ever you’re in trouble don’t ask why Its a solitary night Its a solitary night Its a solitary night Its a solitary night If you act like it’ll never be the same Then you deal with it again and agian Take a pill from the bottle and we use more than we ought to Wanna fall asleep not think of it again Its a solitary night Its a solitary night Its a solitary night Its a solitary night When it leaves I will stay And see it through Again today Waiting for The fading light All alone Again tonight The beauty here will never go away Depending on the hour of the day I know I can recover and become a better lover Better wrestle up another better day

Where Have You Gone? 02:58
lyrics

Gotta stay on the East/West corridor Don’t even see the billboards anymore Wanna see the light like I did before Shining out from the sun Gotta keep up the pace and rise again Sun up sun down and then back again As it sets can’t wait to rise again Peaking out through the clouds Where have you gone My love my love Where have you gone My love my love Where have you gone My love my love Where have you gone My love my love I’m on the interstate Highway 94 Try to get home before I have to crawl Hit the gas then coast and the brake again Coming home from St. Paul Though the cold wind rips like a lost decade ‘Til the midnight moon shows his face again Heaven finds my lonely heart adrift Peaking out through the clouds

Through To Me 02:54
lyrics
buy track
I’m gonna take a picture of you on a lonely Saturday night Going through the motions and I’m hoping that you stay here tonight Tell me ‘bout the time you drank a bottle just to put it away Spend a lot of money and you make it, break it, all in a day Stop my mind Get through to me Block my sight And do to me What you like Get through to me The story ‘bout stupidity is killing almost every time Tapping out the words and just praying that they end in a rhyme Remember back in school when they let us out to run in the grass Everything was easy but the time seemed reluctant to pass Stop my mind Get through to me Block my sight And do to me What you like Get through to me

Wind Inside My Heart 04:09

To the radio you’re listening With the static inside the sound It’ll break the silent evening Wake up anything that’s around Ooh wo oh Ooh wo oh oh oh Electric currents grounded Like a bird on a power line We have this place surrounded Now its just a matter of time Ooh wo oh Ooh wo oh oh oh And the wind inside your heart And the air inside that’s beating And the wind inside your heart And the air inside is beating It’s beating down your love It’s beating down your love It’s beating down your love It’s beating down your love As your feet float on the pavement And the flares cause the sun to shine I hope you see that evening Now its just a matter of time Ooh wo oh Ooh wo oh oh oh We separate the lost souls From those who find another day Inside their finest basement They dare you to take it away

When you gonna leave it When you gonna see it How you gonna lose it Oh oh oh When you gonna prove it How you gonna use it When you wanna do it Oh oh oh Always let you say it Bend it ‘til you break it How you gonna shake it Oh oh oh If you wanna leave it Try to rise above it Always gonna love it Oh oh oh Scan the whole place to find you Come and put your heart on the line See you tune it out just to cut through Saying you don’t have any time Burning out the fuse then you get down Saying that it’s not any fun Building up the ones that you cut down Wishing that it never begun Always gonna break it Even when you make it Never gonna take it Oh oh oh Credit card reject Burning through a paycheck Second line of credit Oh oh oh How you gonna get it Looking at your credit Try before you buy it Oh oh oh If you wanna leave it Try to rise above it Always gonna love it Oh oh oh Scan the whole place just to find you Come and put your heart on the line See you tune it out just to cut through Saying you don’t have any time Burning out the fuse then you get down Saying that it’s not any fun Building up the ones that you cut down Wishing that it never begun

Head To The Ground 04:05
lyrics

Oh my lord Where have you been For so long Reaping in sin I forgive In my own time I will live In my own mind Oh my god How have you been? Did you find A way ‘round the thin And shining ice Flow through your veins Cool the burn Vacate your brain Bring your own head to the ground Bring your own head to the ground Bring your own head to the ground Bring your own head to the ground Every day In every way Clouds will shine Even through time The end begins Starting to slide Here within Earliest night
