Drive Alone:
Don’t wanna talk about it
Don’t wanna wear that badge no more
Don’t wanna hide here from it
I’ve faced the truth
I waged my war
Don’t wanna be like you
I’ve got my mind, my misery
Wish that I could in truth
Lost in the heart of mystery
One for the broken youth
Maybe the ones that got it right
I got lost in my muse
But I want it back
I want what’s mine
I drive these days alone
I’ll bide my time, won’t wait to die
Leave this world alone
Heart broke, inspired, time on our side
We wait, we wait, we wait
But today’s gonna be the day
Gonna make everything ok
Don’t wanna talk about it
Don’t wanna wear that badge no more
Don’t wanna hide here from it
I’ve faced the truth
I waged my war
Don’t wanna be like you
I’ve got my mind, my misery
Wish that I could in truth
Lost in the heart of mystery
I drive these days alone
I’ll bide my time, won’t wait to die
Leave this world alone
Heart broke, inspired, time on our side

Finding Bliss

Finding Bliss:
Wheels keep on a winding and they carry me home
Now I’m seeing things I never did before
Like Jimmy in the back woods making his nest
Freedom from society and finding his bliss
Early that summer I lost my Dad
He wrote me a note of the dreams he had
For me and my brother, and my sister, kin
He wished me to be happy and find love again
He Said
One day in the bright lights he’d see my name
And people would feel the words I sing
But ya gotta get a job just to pay them bills
Or at least to get you by until your dream’s fulfilled
Cause Jimmy’s in the back-woods making his nest
But your more than a Jimmy, you just gotta persist
He said
You gotta have a time while you’re good and strong
And do all you can ‘till your time’s all gone
You never will know when the lights will fade
Best be living for the minute each and every day
He joked about the downfall of my baseball days
But not to hold on to mistakes I’ve made
It ain’t always easy, but it’s always worth
The joy that comes and the lessons learned
Jimmy’s in the back-woods making his nest
But your more than a Jimmy you just gotta persist
He Said
One day in the bright lights he’d see my name
And people would feel the words I sing
But ya gotta get a job just to pay them bills
Or at least to get you by until your dream’s fulfilled
Cause Jimmy’s in the back-woods making his nest
But your more than a Jimmy, you just gotta persist
Wheels keep on a winding and they carry me home
Now I’m seeing things I never did before
Like Jimmy in the back-woods making his nest
Freedom from society and finding his bliss

Take Away The Sad

Take Away The Sad:
This place we go, could break our backs, was it worth it all
These heartfelt songs, all we got, what we’re living for
Do we wait, for the grave, do we waste away
I’m not ok, with giving in, waiting for that day
So go, so go
Take away the sad
No more, no more
Nights I can’t get back
Sometimes we speak, of a life, seems like so much more
It lies and waits, been right there for us all along
Do we take, till we break, what we can’t replace
But if we gave, we could learn from all our mistakes
So go, so go
Take away the sad
No more, no more
Nights I can’t get back
But if for now we stop to breath, we all come from the same beauty
To lay our swords, to only hold, to only love, to all be whole
Rest easy now, relinquish fear, take no judgement, find safety here
Tell the ones you love the the most, they soon may leave, we all must go
Find that spark that makes you free, that leaves your heart open to see
We’ll be the ones, that change their minds, to forget hate take back our lives
Running away, it felt so right, but leaves us all alone tonight
Running away, it felt so right, but leaves us all alone tonight
Running away, it felt so right, but leaves us all alone tonight
Running away, it felt so right, but leaves us all alone tonight

Don't Stop

Don’t Stop:
Can’t say
That things have much changed
They remain the same
Since the day of your leave
Here I am
Too broken to land
On my feet again
With my heart on my sleeve
But don’t no no no
Don’t stop
How could I live
If I’m feeling nothing at all
Today
Not like other days
As I lie for the grave
My faults stand so clear
We go
And time will not slow
So let go control
And all of your fears
Can’t say
That that things have much changed
They remain the same
Since the day of your leave
So don’t no no no
Don’t stop
How could I live
If I’m feeling nothing at all

My One Belief

My One Belief:
Yesterday, I knew you well
Oh so close, but oh so far
Far from now
Far somehow
It hurts but now this debt to pay
We grow slowly fading away
Won’t be ashamed
My heart remains
Oh just to stay
Oh just to stay
Oh just to stay
Love how did you get so sweet
Play rewind and then repeat
Sweet utterings
They leave us weak
This favour now I shall return, we grow slowly waiting our turn
At glory days, won’t go to waste
Still see your face
Still see your face
Still see your face
Those pastures they’ll be waiting, oh days of youth passed by
Be coming any day now, no darling I won’t cry
To be set free, sweet destiny
My one belief, my everything
Those foreign sheets less comforting, than where we once did lie
Still snap-shots from a life ago, they’ll make me hold on tight
If I see you in the darkness, I know you’ll be the light
Wading through the daisies, I’d die for one more night
This sweet disease
Took everything
My one belief
My everything
Yesterday I knew you well
Oh so close, but oh so far
Far from now
Far somehow

Highway Lights

Highway Lights:
Highway lights lead the way back home
I can’t run no cant’t forget no more
Told my mother I got no regrets
Told my mother that I ain’t done yet
Sell my soul to keep the struggle thick
Clench my fists so I don’t lose my grip
Losing touch the further that I drift
Lose your heart if you don’t use it
We’re all dead if we’re just settling
We want more with every heart broken
Feel like we can’t ever get ahead
Lost a love and then I lost a friend
Things may never be the same again
But how we grow if we always win
So beat my chest to revive my breath
Kick my ribs ‘till I can’t take it
Pull my hair cause my brain won’t quit
Take me now I just wanna live
Take me now I just wanna live
Take me now I just wanna live
Take me now I just wanna live
Take me now I just wanna live
Take me now I just wanna live
Take me now
Take me now
Take me now I just wanna live
Take me now I just wanna live
We’re all dead if we’re settling
We’re all dead if we’re settling
Take me now I just wanna live
Take me now I just wanna live
Take me now I just wanna live
Take me now I just wanna live
Take me now I just wanna live
Take me now
Take me now

We Could Be
03:29

We Could Be:
Don’t want no early grave
Don’t want no hanging noose
Don’t wanna breed your ways
Don’t wanna feel this used
Won’t heed no angel’s gaze
Won’t heed the light of truth
No tears to heal your haze
Haze we feed to our youth
But we could be
Yeah, we could be
The fighters
The defeated
Or the free
Loose talk brought lonely eyes
Late nights released our skin
New life released old ties
Let us let down defence
Take these as dying words
Take them to see their muse
Now let the stars shine first
Some words we cannot choose
We could be
We could be
We could be
We could be
We could be
Yeah, we could be
The fighters
The defeated
Or the free
We could be
Yeah we could be
The lovers
Lion-hearted
The relief

Your Son
03:11

Your Son:
Whiskey-soaked cigarettes been running through my veins
Tragic confirmation, been doing what their all saying
Broken-hearted lenses, what I’ve been looking through
Broken down and dirty I’ll be coming home to you
Ragged, justly jaded, I’ll bet that’s what you think
Seemingly problematic, but I mean the songs I sing
Soulful situations, what I’ve been searching for
And actions that speak louder than upscale downtown stores
I just hope that you could take me for the man that I’ve become
I know that I’m not perfect, but I’ve got a lot of love
So take me to the barber, yeah and take me to the choir
Take me to the Saint John, and please, take me as your son
All of this, I admit, it doesn’t make no sense
No making multi-millions, still swinging for the fence
In truth and timely fashion, where I am is where I’ll be
And I’m drinking at the Baryard with my friends right next to me
I just hope that you could take me for the man that I’ve become
I know that I’m not perfect, but I’ve got a lot of love
So take me to the barber, yeah and take me to the choir
Take me to the Saint John, and please, take me as your son
I said, take me to the Saint John, and please, take me as your son

Life Without The Fight:
Today is the first time in our lives
We said we’re giving up
Starting to realize
That we may just be waiting for our time
I’m here to say we’re fine
We’re gonna be alright
They were more than blacked out whiskey-nights
It was smoking cigarettes
Watching the sun rise
We sing whoa whoa
Life without the fight
Is like day without the night
Love without the fire
We sing whoa whoa
So we carry on
We’re not here for that long
So get lost in every song
Today, not the first time in our lives
We woke up in a sweat
Ain’t got nowhere to hide
But we may just be waiting for our sign
Society’s defined these years to wasted lines
They were more than dropped-out high school cries
It was living for something
No life of compromise
Broken, beaten, bruised down to the wire
Forgotten wrong from right
Transfixed by midnight skies
We bleed it
We soaked those nights with gasoline
Still breathing
Today is the first time in our lives
We said we’re giving up
Starting to realize
That we may just be waiting for our time
I’m here to say we’re fine
We’re gonna be alright
We sing whoa whoa
Life without the fight
Is like day without the night
Love without the fire
We sing whoa whoa
So we carry on
We’re not here for that long
So get lost in every song
We bleed it
We bleed it
We’re bleeding

As A Ghost

As A Ghost:
Could you love me as a ghost
When I’m far away from home
When I’m out there chasing dreams that had come first
Something that I can’t explain
Reasons why I’ll never change
Could you take me for a man that’s set in stone
Well I know there’s more to see, many ways I oughta be
But the only thing I seem to care about
Are there words that make me cry
Then I scream them to the night
I just hope that you’ll be there when I return
What you see’s a part of me
It’s not what I used to be
I’m just trying to keep my head from falling deep
Into this place where I have gone
There and back and on my own
I just hope your eyes will never have to see
Well I know the perfect life, always doing what is right
Always playing safe, never laying on the line
But then how could I write these songs
When all I make is perfect wrongs
But you’re the only right thing on my mind
Well I know there’s more to see, many ways I oughta be
But the only thing I seem to care about
Are there words that make me cry
Then I scream them to the night
I just hope that you’ll be there when I return
I just hope that you’ll be there when I return

All We'll Ever Need

All We’ll Ever Need:
As days go by some things will change
But other things will stay the same
Like when we try to really see
That all we got between our arms
Is all we’ll ever need
So don’t be scared
They’ll comfort you
Don’t you dare to be afraid to show your heart
Open up and choose
The lights that took us from our homes
May sometimes flicker in the storm
But night will come and we won’t be seen
Love will grow if given time
just gotta plant the seed
So don’t be scared
They’ll comfort you
Don’t you dare to be afraid to show your heart
Open up and choose
No, don’t be scared
They’ll comfort you
Don’t you dare to be afraid to show your heart
Open up and choose
