I Don't Live Here 03:27
lyrics
buy track
It’s easy to run, to run, to run When the damage is already done It’s easy to hide your love inside When you see what love can become But I don’t want to live here anymore In the shadow of what came before I don’t want to live here anymore, anymore, anymore It’s easy to give in to the fight When you feel like your losing a war It’s easy to give in to the night When your sun don’t rise anymore But I don’t want to live here anymore In the shadow of what came before I don’t want to live here anymore, anymore, anymore You and I, will take the road less traveled It’s never easy but we’ll find a way We’ll take it all before we come unraveled So stay, won’t you stay. Saving all of our heartache for another day But I don’t want to live here anymore In the shadow of what came before I don’t want to live here anymore, anymore, anymore

Hang Your Head 03:14
lyrics

Shake your hands at the heavens But you got no cause to cry You've been asleep for forty years You just woke up to die You've got no cause, no conviction You've got nothing to call your own And your slight-handed religion Left your back without a bone Hang your head down lowly now You've been climbing Jacob's ladder Your brothers blood on every rung Your eyes are blind, your mind is scattered Got no bullets for your gun And the words your speak, are like thieves Swinging from your gallows lips And every breath you breathe Reveals a little more How low your halo's slipped Hang your head down lowly now There’s a strange wind blowing You can feel it from within Could be your imagination Could be the Santa Ana winds There’s a strange wind blowing You can feel it from within Could be your imagination could be the Santa Ana winds You keep a stone in your pocket Iron bracelets on your wrists You keep a thought of me, still thinking of you Just for a night like this Hang your head down lowly now

Someone's Still Missing You 04:08
lyrics

Well the room seems familiar Like I been here before When I was climbing through your window You were leaving through the door You took all our photos down off of your shelf And ran off to discover yourself But now time has outrun you Oh, love has outdone you, you’re through And you’re waiting on the news, hoping Someone’s still missing you I saw you holding hands With some new man you met And you were walking through paintings Falling deeper in debt To the same old love that you lost some time ago And you want to but you just can’t let him go And now time has outrun you Oh, love has outdone you, you’re through Darling you’ve been refused, but Someone’s still missing you A dollar in the jukebox plays “A sweetheart like you” Your dancing with a shadow of some old love you knew And You could wrestle the ocean you could tear the blue from the sky But you can’t stop the tears in your eyes And now time has outrun you Oh, love has outdone you, you’re through And your feeling so abuse, but Someone’s still missing you And now time has outrun you Oh, love has outdone you, you’re through And your feeling so abuse, but Someone’s still missing you

Comfortable Debris 03:33
lyrics
buy track
Lately I feel, I’m becoming The man I’m meant to be But still your memory, comes round To try to ruin me But I can make it, if I reach out and take it If I let you linger here You’ll only complicate it It’s hard to see the world beyond the trees If I spend my life standing on my knees And the only sound my throat can make is Please don’t break my heart this time Please don’t play a part in this crime Lately I feel, like this world is lying at my feet And everything I wanted is close enough to taunt me You cant chain me, lock me down, contain me If I let you linger here My failures will enslave me It’s hard to see what lies within my reach If I’m resting comfortably in the debris Of every broken, bitter memory Don’t break my heart this time Please don’t play a part in this crime Life is too short, for looking back now The sky is wide open What’s lost is lost; in the past now Before you lies the moment, you own it

You Don't Say 04:15
lyrics
buy track
Didn’t I, put the shovel to the cold hard ground Bury all the things that you didn’t want found I scratched our names upon that coffin lid Laid it in the earth to keep your secrets hid I walked for miles in these worn out shoes To bring you my best whiskey when you were feeling blue Didn’t I, hold you close when your night was on fire And your world did explode So how can you say that you don’t know me anymore How can you say that you don’t care Now you may say that you don’t need me anymore But how can you say I was never there Wasn’t I your confessional When your mind felt like sinning Didn’t I hold your head in my lap When your alcohol was winning Didn’t I, bring you water when your well run dry Kiss you softly as I lay beside you Keep you warm when your fire died Give you shelter and someplace you could hide Stand outside of your window pane For hours at a time in the blinding rain Well, I know your looking for somebody to blame But I gave you my heart when I gave you my name So how can you say that you don’t know me anymore How can you say that you don’t care Now you may say that you don’t want me anymore But how the hell can you say I was never there How can you say I was never there

Safer Than Decay 03:19
lyrics

Am I invisible to the one I need to see me Am I disposable to the rest of the fray I haven’t given in because she says she needs me I’ve only given in cuz’ it’s safer than decay And I’m moving on I’m moving on I’m moving on It’s Safer this way Sometimes it feels like I’m fighting the wind But nothing can change, change where I’ve been I’ve got nothing but my whole life In front of me I have twisted and I have turned I’ve been broken, Lord knows I have burned But I’ve learned that I’m right where I was meant to be Oh, and I’m moving on I’m moving on I’m moving on I’m moving on I’m moving on It’s safer this way

Only in My Head 04:43
lyrics
buy track
Well on the threshold of death, I drew my last breath Pulled on my gloves, and tightened my boots Just stared to the air For something that was supposed to be coming And when it came late, I loaded my plate With bullets and fish, Lit my last cigarette Surprised, it arrived But I was too full for consumption I had a lead-pipe nightmare of a steel-eyed vixen She looked at me stupid, said You got nothing I need Move along little pilgrim, you know there’s no rest for the wicked I had the same ol’ nightmare, of the same ol’ vixen With that same ol’ stupid grin as she started to bleed Tipped her hat to the beast, turned And lit up the trees And if it’s only in my head if it’s only in my head I could shed it off like skin I could shed it off like skin And I for one, I’ve got no regrets Oh No, no, I guess I saw it coming The skin I wear can’t cool me, from the fire I’m standing in And I can’t win for losing; I might as well be dead But I know it’s a dream; And dreams don’t kill But it feels so real Would somebody tell me who put this poison in my head Well the clocks on my wall, they’ve all up and died That’s ok, time was never on my side And I’m counting the seconds now, for all hell to break loose Because the devil, she don’t want me. And Jesus don’t approve So do your best to haunt me, I’ve got nothing left to lose I’ve been pushed to the edge and now I’m waiting for the ground to break And if it’s only in my head if it’s only in my head I could shed it off like skin I could shed it off like skin And I for one, I’ve got no regrets No No, no, I guess I saw it coming If its only in my head If its only in my head If its only in my head If its only in my head If its only in my head If its only in my head I guess I saw it coming

Quiet Place to Fall 04:22
lyrics

I’ve got one foot in the water; One foot on dry land And I’m talking to my conscience He don’t seem to care; don’t understand There’s a devil on my shoulder; and every day he’s growing bolder My angel can’t find no room to stand Though I’ve tried to hide it, I don’t have the strength to fight it These weapons never fit right in my hands In my hands Oh, In my hand I keep one ear to the ground; But the ground never had too much to say And I’m looking for some answers But, questions are all that seem to come my way And they’re coming and they’re going; But there’s freedom in knowing I don’t know anything at all Just like the early autumn leaves; I get swept up by the breeze And I’m just looking for a quiet place to fall A quiet place to fall A quiet place to fall Oh but here we go again; Though it feels just like an end Even butterflies get pinned to the wall And I’ll get up again; but I could never comprehend Why you acted like you couldn’t see me at all Up against the wall Up against that wall, oh no Up against the wall Up against the wall, yeah Up against that If God’s an idea, heaven’s just another trip to take And I’m living with the fear, all the promises you made You meant to break, oh no There’s devil on my shoulder; never gets any older My angels just an old dying man And though I’ve tried to fight it, I can’t bring myself to write it Cuz’ this burning pen keeps shaking in my hand In My Hand In My Hand But here we go again, though it feels just like an end Even butterflies get pinned to the wall So if you need a friend, you can look me up again But it’s gonna be your turn to stand against that wall Up against that wall Up against that wall, yeah Up against that wall Up against that wall You came in then left like bandits Promises come empty handed All it took to see What it meant to be Up against your wall left stranded Up against that wall

Can't Shake Me 03:57

Tell me what it is you want I’ll tell you what it is you need Cuz’ I’ve been down a few roads myself And I can tell you’re picking up speed So put your little hand in mine We’ll move free and unfettered Whatever obstacles we find along the way We gonna tear them down together Cuz’ you can’t shake me now Oh baby you can’t shake me now When the earth moves beneath your feet The faces you’ve known all cowards You can rest your head on my shoulder I’ll be there in your darkest hour Let me calm those tempest eyes I can handle your weather baby Whatever mountain you have left to climb Well, we’re gonna reach the top together Cuz’ you can’t shake me now Oh baby you can’t shake me now When the world comes crashing down around you I’ll show you the one laying at your feet When you feel like nobodies ever really found you If you’re feeling incomplete, well You can count on me to be by your side, no I can’t promise things will get better But, whatever dreams you have in your mind We’re gonna chase them down together Cuz’ you can’t shake me now Oh baby you can’t shake me now, now, now Cuz’ you can’t shake me now Oh baby you can’t shake me now, now, now

Tattoo 03:42
lyrics

I went out on your limb I was hung from your branches You crawled into my skin You tattooed my bones with your fingernails And so it begins And we both took our chances On a love paper-thin Beneath a burden of stone Crashing down like hail We both knew the stakes And we still lit the flame Were we avenging heartache Or would we still feel the same When this night was over But I’ve got a feeling This light’s too revealing This hand that we’re dealing Is one we should fold Is one we should fold Is one we should fold Is one we should fold I fell from your wall I crashed down through your garden You left me naked with all My useless words, like sins revealed And though your voice slowly fades Oh, the echoes are pounding Like unsatisfied waves On an ocean of sound where my hearts concealed We both knew the stakes And we still lit the flame Were we avenging heartache Or was it him when you came You were thinking of But I’ve got a feeling This light’s too revealing This moment we’re stealing We should never have known We should never have known We should never have known We should never have known

I Know My Heart 04:16

I couldn’t tell you where the monies coming from But I’ll keep my head down Like a shadow on the run from the sun I’m in the dark But, it’s a start just to know my heart I couldn’t tell you how these things will unwind But I’m a criminal if loving you is a crime, I’ll do my time I’ll do my time The best part I know my heart The best part I know my heart Night is falling but I can’t sleep The universe is talking in a language I don’t speak But I’ve begun to see through brighter eyes And it’s you and me baby Gonna ride it to the end of the line I ain’t looking forward, don’t wanna look behind Just want this moment here, stuck on my mind I’ll watch you shine Until my eyes go blind You’re a part of my heart You’re a part of my heart Well, oh No Little Darlin Please don’t say you still don’t believe In my love When my Love ain’t the only love you need And I know Oh, Little Darlin We’ve got such a long way to go And there ain’t no road No road worth walking If I’m walking alone So come on Baby Share your light Won’t you just share your light with me Cuz’ I been so low Oh so low and I can use your company

Till My Night Is Gone 05:32

Cold, cold night It can’t touch me now I found a perfect piece of midnight Looking in your eyes On the couch where we sit And I’m trying to capture all Of those secret syllables As they tumble from your lips And I’m trying to pay attention But its only fair to mention I was thinking about your kiss And my cold, cold night Can’t touch me now It was a perfect complication We were lost in conversation 2 o’clock, it came and went And though it wasn’t the plan We didn’t give a damn How our time was spent But baby I believed you When I told you that I need you You knew exactly what I meant And my cold, cold night Can’t touch me now Baby its cold outside, and it gets so hot in here Baby its cold outside, I don’t want too disappear Baby its cold outside, I just want to hold you near Can I stay until my night is gone Somehow I made it to your doorway you were standing there before me You were tugging on my sleeve I like the way you look at me So magnetically You said I want you to know I don’t want you to go And I said hell I don’t want to leave Can I stay until my night is gone Well, there ain’t no disguising The fire in your eyes Or the warmth of your face And I don’t want to be apart From the beauty of your heart Or the sunshine in your embrace But it kills me now baby That I’ve got to leave this place Tell me can I stay until my night is gone Baby its cold outside, and it gets so hot in here Baby its cold outside, I don’t want too disappear Baby its cold outside, I just want to hold you near Can I stay until my night is gone Until my night is gone Gone, gone, gone Till my night is gone Gone, gone, gone Till my night is gone Gone, gone, gone Till my night is gone
