Always Another Song

Always another song to sing
Always another rock to roll
Always another breath to bring you closer to your soul
Always another choice to make
Always another chance to grow
Always another road to take you where you want to go
It doesn’t always have to be as hard
As we make it out to be
It doesn’t always have to mean
Absolutely everything or nothing
Always the time to get it done
Always the time to show you care
Always the time to be the one taking conversation there
Always the time to empathize
Always the time to lend a hand
Always the time to speak your mind
Even if they don’t understand
It doesn’t always have to be as hard
As we make it out to be
It doesn’t always have to mean
Absolutely everything or nothing
Always another song to sing
Always another song to sing
Always another song to sing together
It doesn’t always have to be as hard
As we make it out to be
It doesn’t always have to mean
Absolutely everything or nothing
Always another song to sing
Always another song to sing
Always another song to sing together
Together
Together

Hardest Pill
03:40
|
|||
|
I have got to find the time to tell you
That I’m not the one
No time to give you all that you would like
Find time to tell you you’ve got to move on
Find a good way out
Lost in my own thoughts
Can’t begin to tell you what I’m feeling inside
You want me to kiss you
You are a drug
You’re the hardest pill to swallow
A tall glass to drink and like a fool I follow
You’re the hardest pill to swallow
And you’ve got me spinning out of control
Follow I don’t want to follow
Fooled by my own mind
Maybe I will miss you
But I can’t decide
You want me to kiss you
You are a drug
You’re the hardest pill to swallow
The boat’s about to sink
Although the river’s shallow
You’re the hardest pill to swallow
And you’ve got me spinning out of control
Follow I don’t want to follow
Ooh I’m out of control
You’re the hardest pill to swallow
Funny when your heart is hollow
And though you’ll fill it up with sorrow
I’ll be in your bed tomorrow

Filled Up With Sky
05:15
|
|||
|
Some days your eyes fill up with tears
Glasses full of sorry wine
And all these sadly passing years
No goodbye, just up and left
May as well be blind and deaf
Surely dumb said with a laugh
Out of every photograph
A cloudy voice still in your ears
Some days your eyes fill up with tears
Some days your throat is full of sand
Claw the beach and hold the line
In those madly trembling hands
Lonely hours pass so strange
Always wondering if a change will ever come
A summer’s rain
To break the clouds and ease the pain
Quench the thirst and cool the land
Some days your throat is full of sand
And down upon the endless concrete floor
Will no one ever love me anymore?
Wipe your face and brush the dirt off
You don’t have to drink the hurt off
Just lace up your shoes and take a good long walk
Today your eyes filled up with sky
What a waste of precious time
To hang your head and wonder why
It doesn’t always seem to go
The way you hoped it would go
If you know to seize the day
The truth is that it’s not a lie
You’re free and you don’t have to cry
Today your eyes fill up with sky

Hasn't Even Happened Yet
03:19

I’m at home
But on the road is where I feel at home
Writing a song
It’s coming along but don’t know where it goes
Awake in a dream that says you’ve been gone
I know that I was but it feels like we never left
Taking away
The soul of a man who’s got more to say
Driving a car
Full tank of gas with nowhere to be
Waiting around for it to start again
You sing me this song
But it feels like it hasn’t even happened yet
Waiting around and around for it to start again
You tell me it’s done
But it feels like
But it feels like
But it feels like it hasn’t even happened yet

The Ocean Stays The Same
04:55
|

|
Shipwrecked grey dawn
Crew lost all gone
All but Viola
And her twin Sebastian
Bound for Virginia
In love’s adaptation
Dress up as a man
Follow a new plan
And so we have a comedy
In the holes let drama be
All that’s changed technology
The ocean stays the same
Blood and guts remain
Why the audience came
Hearts entangle (The ocean knows our name)
Love triangle (Dancing ghost upon the sea)
Colors blending (Surrounded by the mist)
Happy ending? (We carry this)
Duke loves Olivia (Part the clouds receive the beam)
But she loves Viola (Broken heart buried deep)
Still dressed as a man (Treasure to forever keep)
Till she finds Sebastian
And so we have an odyssey
Love is all it’s got to be
While it’s still a mystery
The ocean stays the same
Fire and dust remain
I’m still glad I came
Do what you will
Just hurt no one
Dress as you like
Just hurt no one
Love who you want
Just hurt no one
Get what you need
Just hurt no one

Strangest Of Days
03:39
|
|||
|
Looking around in a stadium of mirrors
Asleep for a long time, heard the alarm
Smell of the vineyards burning in the distance
Realer than any movie about the end times
Hard to believe what was actually happening
Not sure what to do, not sure where to go
Weirdest thing of all, no one even noticed
They were too busy putting on their own show
There was a look in your eyes bleeding into blue skies
Couldn’t give it away
A map in your hand to lead the boat to dry land
Couldn’t give it away
No real talk in the strangest of days
Mirrors took the place of all conversations
No one seemed to care about any other issues
Than whatever they desired and their own observations
When everyone’s a painter and a writer and a sage
No one has time for anybody else’s loaded page
A politician given voice on a stage, shouting
“Hear me now what I say.
Look at me what I can do.
Click you like it right away
And agree with me or screw yourself!”
So many opinions but what the hell was all the fighting for?
Guess you can cancel out your friends
When you have at least a thousand more
There was a look in your eyes bleeding into blue skies
Couldn’t give it away
A map in your hand to lead them all to dry land
Couldn’t give it away
Took a heart made of stone and turned it into pure gold
Couldn’t give it away
There was a look in your eyes bleeding into blue skies
Couldn’t give it away
A map in your hand to lead them all to dry land
Couldn’t give it away
Took a heart made of stone and turned it into pure gold
Couldn’t give it away
A salvation song delivering the radio
Couldn’t give it away
Couldn’t give it away
We couldn't give it away

Beautiful Things
04:26
|

|
Early Sunday morning I’m looking in the mirror
Can’t believe I gave it all this time
Even though it’s kinda sad I’m seeing things much clearer
All these beautiful things left here are mine
Temporary seems the nature of most of these relations
Doomed right from the start but that’s ok
Usually the problem stems from unreal expectations
And all these funny games people play
Oh somebody needs to receive my love
All these beautiful things to feel and see
Oh somebody needs to receive my love
Let it be me
Oh I remember how it felt when I was young
The bigger the heart the more there is to break
My spirit is a love song waiting to be sung
I wonder how much longer it will take
The world is swirling round me but everything is still
Standing in this bedroom all alone
The morning air is cold and I know I’m getting older
I really don’t mind being on my own
Oh somebody needs to receive my love
All these beautiful things to feel and see
Oh somebody needs to receive my love
Let it be me
Still looking in the mirror early Sunday morning
Reflections of this path I chose
Yeah you take your share of hits
But the deepest truth remains that it’s
The only way you’re ever gonna grow
Oh somebody needs to receive my love
All these beautiful things to feel and see
Oh somebody needs to receive my love
Let it be me
Oh let it be me
Oh let it be me

Lone Wolf

Lone wolf looking now for something to eat
In the woods by the riverside
Ran with a pack but he couldn’t compete
Living with a lot of pride
It ain’t easy
It ain’t easy
It ain’t easy crossing that great divide
Lone wolf trying now to catch himself a bird
Too high up in the trees
Won’t go back on his promise or word
Never get him on his knees
It ain’t easy
It ain’t easy
It ain’t easy when a soul just ain’t at ease
And the echoes of the night
Make the shadows of the day
All blocking out the light
They won’t ever go away
And the wind blows in the fall
And the song is so real
You’d give it all for the ability to heal
Lone wolf haunted now with voices of the past
Other wolves tried to help
Freedom gets ya high but the feeling don’t last
When it fades there’s nothing else
It ain’t easy
It ain’t easy
It ain’t easy trying to love yourself
Lone wolf
Lone wolf
Lone wolf
You still got a gift to bring

Western Skies

Funny feeling in my chest
Gave it everything
Now there’s nothing left
Headed east but looking west
Wrap me scarlet in those arms again
Don’t know why I’ve stayed away so long my friend
Clock is ticking, half past ten
Take me under your western skies
Crimson moon drops into melted sunrise
What I’m looking for I just don’t know
But I’ll find it under western skies
Take me under your western skies
You can see it in my rusted eyes
Something missing now for way too long
Time to find it under western skies
What I’m looking for I just don’t know
But I’ll find it under western skies
