Chasing Light
​
If your head seems filled with darkness
It can bury you
Thinking that there’s no way to stop this
Doesn’t make it true
Between the pain and pleasure
We all want something better………
Chasing light
Chasing light
One foot in front of the other
Sometimes it’s hard to do
Pick up the phone I got you brother
One call might get you through
No one said life was easy
We’ll find a way believe me ….
Chasing light
Chasing light
We brave the stormy weather
Just trying to find our way
But nothing’s dark forever
Let’s start a brand new day
Chasing light
Chasing light
The Bottom
​
The verdict is in - I’ll never win
The way you put on a show
Deny that you’re wrong - Try to string me along
You think that I won’t just go
Never say never - Nothing’s forever
Lie and cheat, you take it all
Like a tear I watch you fall
When you hit the bottom - You’re gonna need a friend
I kind of hope you find one - Cause honey I ain’t him
Sipping your wine - Dressed to the nines
There’s nothing left to defend
Don’t be so sure - I’m not out the door
You can’t seem to comprehend
Never say never - Nothing’s forever
Lie and cheat, you take it all
Now like a tear I watch you fall
When you hit the bottom - You’re gonna need a friend
Kind of hope you find one - Cause honey I ain’t him
When you hit the bottom go find yourself a friend
Cause honey I ain’t him
Enjoy the view on your way down
I won’t look back on my way out
When you hit the bottom - You’re gonna need a friend
Kind of hope you find one - Cause honey I ain’t him
When you hit the bottom go find yourself a friend
Cause honey I ain’t him – yeah go find yourself a friend
Let Heaven Fall
​
If you’re looking from the outside I’m steady and strong
But ain’t nothing been steady ever since you’ve gone
The devil has his claws in me, I’m good for choosing wrong
Can’t get back the years we lost forever is too long
Oh my girl where are you now
Are you happier out there, do you ever shed a tear?
Oh my girl where are you now
We almost had it all, until I let heaven fall
I know I took for granted the love you had for me
I guess it took you leaving before my eyes could see
An angel who could shine her light like the sun upon the sea
Can’t get past the clouds I brought, raining down on me
Oh my girl where are you now
Are you happier out there, do you ever shed a tear?
Oh my girl where are you now
We almost had it all, until I let heaven fall
Oh my girl where are you now
We almost had it all, until I let heaven fall
Heaven fall
Heaven fall
We almost had it all, until I let heaven fall
That's What You Get
​
Don’t you know what matters? Stop and take a breath
Don’t you waste it on worry - The last breath you might have left
Spent your whole life chasing – chasing dollar signs
All your money and your worry – won’t change we all die
There’s only so much time
Yeah, that’s what you get, that’s what you get
Here’s what your money buys
Yeah, that’s what you get, that’s what you get
You spend your whole life fixing shit – You always find a way
But you ain’t got tools for this - To put off judgment day
Life is way too short - To always give a damn
If you want to make God laugh - Just tell him all your plans
You’re running out of time
Yeah, that’s what you get, that’s what you get
Here’s what your trouble buys
Yeah, that’s what you get, that’s what you get
As your staring in the mirror
I hope you have no regrets
Your reflection stares back at you
Reminds you that your not dead yet
There’s only so much time
Yeah, that’s what you get, that’s what you get
Here’s what your money buys
Yeah, that’s what you get, that’s what you get
That’s what you get – I said that’s what you get
That’s all we get
That’s what you get
Looking For Liars
​
Well it’s too late now
To go back somehow
Move along
I’m already gone
How can you deny?
The truth in my eyes
Twisted words
Oh is that what you heard?
Another late night, misguided desire
You get what you get when you go looking for liars
All the one’s before
Hurt you even more
That’s what you say
You hang on anyway
No use for the truth, consumed with desire
You get what you get when you go looking for liars
The truth be damned when we need what we need
We learn to pretend not to see what we see
We want to hear words that we know just aren’t true
Been looking for answers for things that we do
The cold bitter truth is not warm like desire
It turns out that I’m just like you – where all looking for liars
We're just looking for liars
Can't Kill a Killer
​
You knock them dead you got legs for miles
Keep them hostage with that lock and load style
Broken hearts all around you
You might of caught my eye yeah that’s true
But let me warn you now ……
you can’t kill a killer
You got an attitude for all to see
Some guys back down baby that ain’t me
There’s a trail of bodies that surrounds you
You kind of caught me yeah that’s true
But let me warn you now ……..
you can’t kill a killer
I was breaking hearts when you were in braces
Uptown, downtown and exotic places
You dressed for battle drinking 100 proof
Try to break me down you’re too damn cute
I know you want a piece so get in line
You like my attitude and rock n roll style
Best bring every weapon you can find
But nothing cuts like a devious mind
You’re just too young to know any better
Tonight you’re gonna learn ……….
you can’t kill a killer
The Ocean
​
Love just like crashing waves
An endless battle of devotion
When you look from far away
You can barely see the motion
There is no standing still
You can’t fight against her will
Let me tell you about the ocean
Let me tell you about the ocean
Standing at the waters edge you think you’re in control
Until she lulls you in to depths no one would know
Love like the burning sun can only reach so deep
She’s so cold and vast, there’s no secret she won’t keep
Let me tell you about the ocean
There’s no time to hesitate
The tide is only getting stronger
Just when you think your love is safe
The undertow will pull you under
This siren makes no sound
She’s quiet while you drown
Let me tell you about the ocean
Let me tell you about the ocean
Standing at the waters edge you think you’re in control
Until she lulls you in to depths no one would know
Love like the burning sun can only reach so deep
She’s so cold and vast, there’s no secret she can’t keep
Let me tell you about the ocean
She tries to pull me down - She tries to pull me down
Let me tell you about the ocean
Let me tell you about the ocean
Standing at the waters edge you think you’re in control
Until she lulls you in to depths no one should know
Love like the burning sun can only reach so deep
She’s so cold and vast, there’s no secret she can’t keep
Let me tell you about the ocean
The View
​
I kneeled down to pray today
A sudden selfish choice
It didn’t get me very far
He didn’t recognize my voice
My memory is a funny thing
It still remembers you
It’s like a faded photograph
A perversion of the truth
I’m nothing like I use to be
Strong and wild, so care free
You’re nothing like you use to be
Next time your phone don’t ring, it’s just me
You lie awake and think about
The stories we could tell
But they’re too dark for all the rest
We’ll get to share them all in hell
I’m nothing like I use to be
Strong and wild, so care free
You’re nothing like you use to be
Next time your phone don’t ring, it’s just me
(Lost in life and living without me)
Yesterday it came and went
There’s nothing left to do
Remember how you kicked me down?
I kind of learned to like the view
I’m nothing like I use to be
Strong and wild, so care free
You’re nothing like you use to be
Next time your phone don’t ring, it’s just me.
Next time your phone don’t ring, it’s just me.
Next time your phone don’t ring, it’s just me.
Hangin' Out
​
Stepping back out like a lost friend
Keeping good track of the shape I’m in
You know that I’m never gonna change your name
But I’ll lay down with you just the same
In my mind I’m still a young boy
Not the old man in a candy store
I don’t need nobody else
Cause’ I’m just hangin’ out
Stepping back in to a young man’s game
Hey little girl I forgot your name
Twenty years ago I could have been your man
Now I gotta run won’t even hold your hand
In the mirror see a touch of gray
I know you’re really hoping that I stay
But I don’t need nobody else
Cause’ I’m just hangin’ out
I met this nice girl at the local gym
I’m keeping good track of the shape she’s in
You know that I think I wanna change her name
She just laughs she things I’m insane
Yeah she knows I’m not a young boy
More like an old man in a candy store
And she don’t need nobody else
Cause’ she’s just hangin’ out
Yeah I know I’m not a young boy
More like the old man in a candy store
But I don’t need nobody else
Cause’ I’m just hangin' out
Atlas (Carry You)
I’ve been marching uphill all the way
Every moment of every breathing day
I was raised like all good men
Oh no, oh no, I’m at it again
I’ll bet I could carry you
Come on over there’s still room
For your shame and your guilt too
Bring it over, I’ll carry you
Like a sponge like a rock, every day
Nothing is too heavy anyway
Don’t forget the good book we read
Oh no, oh no, I’m at it again
I’ll bet I could carry you
Come on over there’s still room
For your shame and your guilt too
Bring it over, I’ll carry you
I can’t waste time in a sexy moonlight
There must be some trouble that’s within sight
There must be some burden I could attend
Oh no, oh no, I’m at it again
I’ll bet I could carry you
Come on over there’s still room
For your shame and your guilt too
Bring it over, I’ll carry you
Bring it over, I’ll carry you
Bring it over, I’ll carry you
Talk to Me
​
She knows something and she won’t tell me
I know things I can’t believe
It’s like a dream struggling just to breathe
I can’t believe you won’t even talk to me
Look at my face am I too late now
It only takes a weak moment to drown
Talk to me
I won’t let you drown
Talk to me
I won’t let you drown
I’m haunted by the words I never said
Thought of losing you burn in my head
It’s like the dream, where you don’t a voice to scream
I can’t believe you won’t even talk to me
Look at my face, am I too late now
With one more drink I fear that you might drown
Talk to me
I won’t let you drown
Talk to me
I won’t let you drown
Look at my face
Please don’t say I’m too late
Look at my face
I know I’m not too late
Wouldn't Change A Thing
​
We’re just getting older so you say
All my clever words can’t make you stay
Life had other plans for us instead
All our dreams like ashes left for dead
It was you, who said be gone and sing
It was you, I wouldn’t change a thing
All the past and happiness, you say I’m not even listening
You, I wouldn’t change a thing
Sometimes I stare at our empty bed
Time it has its hands around my neck
We never warred with words like al the rest
The silence waved a flag for us instead
It was you, who said be gone and sing
It was you, I wouldn’t change a thing
One love ends you learn to begin, you say I’m not even listening
You, I wouldn’t change a thing
I’m not waiting, no I’m not
You’re not waiting for my heart
I’m not ready for something new
I’m not ready, it was always you……
……but said be gone and sing
It was you, I wouldn’t change a thing
One love ends you learn to begin, you say I’m not even listening
You, I wouldn’t change a thing
Breathe
I tried believing
I tried to reason
I feel like screaming – but your sleeping there
Afraid of the last sleep – all I do is stare
Awake – it comes on
Awake – It comes on
Now I can’t breathe
I watch you sleep
Now I can’t breathe
I watch you sleep
I think of dreaming
I think of leaving
My mind is a hell that no devil could dream
The gods have conspired it seems they’re mocking me
Awake – it comes on
Awake – It comes on
Now I can’t breathe
I watch you sleep
Now I can’t breathe
I watch you sleep
I can’t stop thinking about all those that left me
What my turn might be like and what I might see.
Awake – it comes on
Awake – It comes on
Now I can’t breathe
I watch you sleep
Now I can’t breathe
I watch you sleep
Sometimes it soothes me when I watch you breathing
But I get so jealous when I watch you sleeping
Sometimes it soothes me when I watch you breathing
Don’t you ever think about all of us leaving…
Because I do..
I do…..
I do…..
Yes I do
Mountains
​
Tell me can you move? Tell me can you move?
Mountains - Mountains
Cause that’s just how I feel
Like the weight of the world - is on my shoulders
It's been a long cold winter
snow won't stop falling
the sky is gray
My girl comes around to say
How can I make it better? She said.......
How can I change the weather inside your head? I say.....
Tell me can you move? Tell me can you move?
Mountains - Mountains
Cause that’s just how I feel
Like the weight of the world - is on my shoulders
You know I'm feeling older
Broken dreams weigh on me
Another day
I still can't find my place
How can I make it all better? She said.......
How can I clear the weather inside your head? I say…….
Tell me can you move? Tell me can you move?
Mountains - Mountains
Cause that’s just how I feel
Like the weight of the world - is on my shoulders
I tried so hard to never fall
there's not much time to live before the takers take it all.......
Tell me can you move? Tell me can you move?
Mountains - Mountains
Cause that’s just how I feel
Like the weight of the world - is on my shoulders
Tell me can you move…
Home
​
It takes time to figure out
Who you are and what feels right
All the mistakes they didn’t break us down
It’s good to know, you’re not alone
Doesn’t this feel like home?
Doesn’t this feel like home?
You know that I know
We’ve never been here before
All my life, It’s like I’ve been blind
Out in the cold, all alone
Then you found me, you helped me see the light
It’s good to know, you’re not alone
Doesn’t this feel like home?
Doesn’t this feel like home?
You know that I know
We’ve never been here before
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It’s good to know
Good to know that you’re not alone
Doesn’t this feel like home?
Doesn’t this feel like home?
It’s good to know, you’re not alone
