First Person Plural 05:30
lyrics
buy track
first person plural when the well has gone bone dry when the colors have bleached into white when it sinks in that you’re stranded here alone when you’ve fallen, and there’s no one else at home when you feel the ants marching on your skin and you’re indifferent to the consequence of sin this moment is just a candle in the dark and you exist to cultivate the spark because we all fall down we all fall down when you feel yourself fixated on a kiss when the rush of blood is the only thing you miss and you’re sure that no one else can relate this is the river we all must navigate and we all fall down we all fall down we all fall down we all fall down

Cathy 05:14
lyrics
buy track
Cathy Cathy Steps into the rain Another morning waiting On an east bound train Hears a lo-fi feedback Rubbing up against the grain Cathy Feels it wearing thin Feels like any moment she could pull the pin The flutter of the static Ingrained and automatic In her skin Cathy Steps into the hall breaths in the friction As she takes the call He said /she said Nothing left to say at all Cathy is keeping it calm but she feels the minutes passing like a ticking bomb there’s a shimmer in the silence she wonders where its coming from Cathy’s stepping into the light “Someone needs to drive me home tonight my mind is a razor and I’m cutting everything in sight stares in silence at the brake lights “somethings gonna go down tonight the world is made of paper , and I’m about to ignite” just another face in the crowd but underneath the silence she’s screaming loud standing in the rubble with her head unbowed she is thunder in the gathering clouds a quiet calm becomes a hurricane when everything crumbles only light remains Cathy’s finally flowing like an open vein no more choking at the chain Cathy slams into the wall shuts her eyes tight ‘cause she’s seen it all she’s tried to be a surgeon now she’s gonna be a cannon ball Cathy’s stepping into the light “Someone needs to take me home tonight my mind is a razor and I’m cutting everything in sight stares in silence at the brake lights “somethings gonna go down tonight the world is made of paper , and I’m about to ignite”

If I Told You Why 04:56
lyrics

If I Told You Why Are you In are you out can I tell by the way you look at me then look down maybe now it is time for me to say something that would show you that it's all right for the moment that would show you that I do still care where we're going but instead I just sit here waiting for a bolt from the blue what can I do and I feel so motivated but I just can't get it off the tip of my tongue would I feel so damned frustrated if I told you why if I told you if I told you why is it me is it you is it true that we'll never be the same again so what now tell me how to take a step forward do I tell you all the tricks that keep me from crying tell you all the fears that make me think you're lying do I show you all the anger or do I just pretend where would I begin and I feel so motivated but I just can't get it off the tip of my tongue would I feel so damned frustrated if I told you why and I feel so agitated when I just can't seem to get it back to before would it be so complicated if I told you why if I told you why much too little much too late much to hard or maybe it gets easier with time and with luck and with love we can reach some understanding and I think that it feels all right for the moment and I think that I do still care where you're going so I just don't know why I can't seem to say it out loud oh oh oh and I feel so motivated but I just can't get it off the tip of my tongue would I feel so damned frustrated if I told you why and I feel so agitated when I just can't seem to get it back to before would it be so complicated if I told you why if I told you why

Thunder Rolling 03:48
lyrics

Thunder Rolling Thunder rolling down by the river down by the river, like a symphony Thunder rolling down by the river down by the river, hear it calling me I wear the night like a velvet coat wrap it around me to keep out the cold loyalty is boiling like a raging fever I can stay or leave her whatever I choose No distraction, no abstraction I take a dose but no reaction I feel like I’ve got nothing to lose, whoa-oh I sink my teeth into forbidden fruit break off my future from a tarot root paint my face with essence of anger a mouth full of danger, a hand full of sound no division, no revision all the scenes that I envision break apart and fall to the ground Thunder rolling down by the river down by the river, like a symphony Thunder rolling down by the river down by the river, hear it calling me Thunder rolling down by the river down by the river, like a symphony Thunder rolling down by the river down by the river, hear it calling me

I Am Not the Enemy 03:26
lyrics
buy track
Enemy Quietly she walks beside them she feels their eyes crawl over her like smoke against her skin She can almost smell the anger "What is it they want from me? I am not the enemy" He pretends he doesn't hear them tells himself it's just their way they don't mean the things they say but everyday's a little darker "Why can't I make them see that I am not the enemy" I am not the enemy I am not what pulls you under I know what you think you see everytime you look at me but I am not the enemy He hears his father and his mother their voices crash through these thin walls he wonders if they care at all another round of accusations "why do they do this to me I am not the enemy" I am not the enemy I am not your reason why don't try to twist reality to make me what you couldn't be I am not the enemy I am not the enemy I am not the shapes that haunt you so indulge your insecurity and take your best shot at me but i am not the enemy

Fingerprints 04:48
lyrics

Was it important to you that I know How carefully you staged the show took the time to dress the scene So only I would know what it means Did it give you some satisfaction When you safely watched my reaction Knowing once you had had your fun I was left with the smoking gun Did you have to go and leave your fingerprints All over my guarded heart Did you really have to leave the evidence Of your perfect crime Did you have to go and leave your fingerprints All over my stolen heart Did I really need to think about this While I do my time No shattered windows or broken doors No residue scattered on the floor Just a single perfect clue So that only I would know it was you Now they may call it a cold case But I still see the look on your face To the world you're above suspicion While you taunt me with your frank admission Did you have to go and leave your fingerprints All over my guarded heart Did you really have to leave the evidence Of your perfect crime Did you have to go and leave your fingerprints All over my stolen heart Did I really need to think about this While I do my time Did you have to go and leave your fingerprints All over my guarded heart Did you really have to leave the evidence Of your perfect crime Did you have to go and leave your fingerprints All over my stolen heart Did I really need to think about this While I do my time Did you have to go and leave your fingerprints Did you really have to leave the evidence Did you have to go and leave your fingerprints Did I really need to think about this

We Can Grow 03:58
lyrics

We can grow I don’t want to build gallows from decisions that I’ve made don’t want to read the reviews of the famous parts I’ve played I don’t want a perfect mirror that reflects me as I am I don’t want to train my wolf to sleep among these lambs I don’t want to count the victims of my well-intentioned fallicies Don’t want to walk the scorched earth left by our collective histories I don’t want to reduce you with my -isms and my -ologies don’t want to seduce you with my lame half-assed apologies maybe I'm naive but somehow I still believe if we get down on our knees take the time to plant the seeds we can grow We can grow We can Grow We can Grow We can I don't want to burn the bridges That span the river of my doubt I don't want to count the reasons Why you shouldn't count me out Don't want these second glances To become the only things I see Don't want to twist your circumstance And make it about me maybe I'm naive but somehow I still believe if we get down on our knees take the time to plant the seeds we can grow We can grow We can Grow We can Grow And I’m not proclaiming victory I haven’t found serenity I’m not immune to tragedy I don’t know any remedy I’m sure that my stupidity still isn’t quite through with me I’m just trying to make you see that I’m not who I used to be... we can grow We can grow We can Grow We can Grow Sent from my iPad

The Sweet Spot 03:18
lyrics
buy track
I will never know your mind And I may never know what's in your heart Things get complicated, things get out of hand It's harder to create something then to tear it all apart But I see both sides of the story I Take the time to weigh the things I've seen Rocked by The push and pull of my heart and mind And I try to find the sweet spot in between And in the space between There may be an answer The distance gets shorter If we meet halfway I don't know if somehow I will ever reach you But if there is chance You know I'm going to try I know the tension can get tight I know there's not much common ground But We can't always see the forest for the trees While we're waiting for the wheel to turn back around I see both sides of the story I know things aren't always what they seem Everyone thinks the choice is always all or nothing While I try to find the sweet spot in between I see both sides of the story Try to measure the words and what they mean Everyone concentrates on the beginning and the end While I stand here in the sweet spot in between

Out of My Hands 03:20
lyrics
buy track
Out of my hands Walk the corners of the night Try to find my way Everybody needs a little direction The broken heart survivors say "The best is yet to come" So I pour another glass of self-deception Can't get it out of my head but its out of my hands I let it slip right through my fingers Can't find a way to explain what I can't understand The light has passed but the shadows linger on Will jagged pieces and broken parts Ever bring to life again This misfit monster that I've designed The street corner prophets say "you can't get there from here" But is the distance all inside my mind Can't get it out of my head but its out of my hands I let it slip right through my fingers Can't find a way to explain and I can't understand The light has passed but the shadows linger On and on live it over and over In a fraction of a second, in the breadth of a minute Try to forget, I can almost let it go But then I'm back in the moment again Can't get it out of my head but its out of my hands I let it slip right through my fingers I Can't explain what I can't understand The light has passed but the shadows linger on

Ripples 04:36
lyrics

RIPPLES Just got back from tomorrow It looked a lot like yesterday the poetry I'd created Had all become a sad cliche I took a look into the tea leaves Saw the writing on the wall Thought of seeds I had planted As the trees began to fall and I guess i always knew that every pebble that I threw would leave me waiting ‘till the ripples reached the distant shore and all the choices that I made left me worried and afraid that the ripples may never reach the waiting shore In the impulse of a moment I told her it wasn't meant to be And after years of chasing echoes I'm still drifting out to sea and I guess i always knew that every pebble that I threw would leave me waiting ‘till the ripples reached the distant shore and all the choices that I made left me worried and afraid that the ripples may never reach the waiting shore and I guess i always knew that every pebble that I threw would leave me waiting ‘till the ripples reached the distant shore and as the stone sinks down I wonder if I’ll be around when the ripples finally reach the waiting shore

Wide Open Sky 04:28

Wide Open Sky give me one reason, give me just a reason that explains all of this away fear and desperation hate and agitation and its getting hotter every day loss of perspective monetized invective seeping through every screen distorted information weaponized sensations burning like acetylene and when it all confounds me when I can’t find proof of love just heart break around me I try to see what lies above in the wide open sky clearer than a newborn’s eyes it’s a wide open sky and I fall inside in the wide open night time flickers like fading lights it’s a wide open sky and I’m alive sell me a distraction, another sweet distraction something to catch my eye while the streets are burning satisfy my yearning the latest thing I need to buy and when it wraps around me when the walls start closing in i turn to look above me and let the sunlight take me in in the wide open sky clearer than a newborn’s eyes it’s a wide open sky I fall inside in the wide open night time flickers like fading lights it’s a wide open sky and I’m alive in the wide open sky clearer than a newborn’s eyes it’s a wide open sky and I fall inside in the wide open night time flickers like fading lights it’s a wide open sky and I’m alive

Sotto Voce 04:08

sotto voce light drips in like honey darkness spills like wine desire blooms and withers like fruit left on the vine her skin betrays her appetites her voice relays her will my mouth goes bitter with the taste of this poison pill gravitation has no pull in matters of belief her treasury has no defense from this hapless thief as her voice goes soft and low I strain to understand and start to slowly suffocate beneath her reprimand

High Time 04:22

I know it seems We got here too late Looked away for a minute And everything fell apart But look what we've done And what we still can do We don't need excuses We just need a fresh start And I know that it's hard enough Just holding on But we can't just stand by with Everything that's going on And it's high time We tried to do better Rewind And pull ourselves together This time We're building it to last Get your hands dirty No one gets a free pass It's high time We finally give a damn Stand still Long enough to make a stand No time For the faint hearted You'll never be finished If you never get started It's too easy to wait For somebody else Too easy to blame Anyone but you and me But sooner or later We have to ask Is this who we are Is this who we want to be And I know that it's hard enough Just holding on But times like these demand That we be strong And it's high time We tried to do better Rewind And pull ourselves together This time We're building it to last Get your hands dirty No one gets a free pass high time We finally give a damn Stand still Long enough to make a stand Stop it now Before this gets out of hand Took a little time But now we finally understand And it's high time We tried to do better Rewind And pull ourselves together This time We're building it to last Get your hands dirty No one gets a free pass It's high time We finally give a damn Stand still Long enough to make a stand It's No time For the faint hearted If we're ever gonna finish It's time to get started Now

Pressure Point 04:30

Pressure Point There’s glass beneath my nails there’s ink blooming in the water cat fight in my ears barbed wire underneath my skin a collision in the distance there’s a siren coming from the corner there are shards in the carpet there’s a spider crawling up my shin there’s a grinding underneath there’s a scraping cutting through the down pour embers in the air poison in the medicine am I the only one who sees what’s going down? am I the only one who feels the shaking ground deep down in the pressure point there’s a splatter on the window there’s a broken hinge on the door the sound of shutters slamming whiskey spilled on the floor am I the only one who sees what’s going down? am I the only one who hears that high pitched sound am I the only one who sees what’s going on am I the only one who feels vibrations deep down in the pressure point solo am I the only one who sees what’s going down? am I the only one who feels the shaking ground deep down in the pressure point

Princes 03:36

The prince of riddles And the prince of rain Put their plan in motion One hid questions inside of questions While the other cried an ocean the king wasn’t swayed by their passionate calls the game must be played one would rule it all The prince of riddles And the prince of rain weighed divine decree “there’s got to be a better path than this broken destiny” man to man brother to brother if one should fall what is left of the other blood to blood soul to steel I swear to you you will never kneel The prince of riddles And the prince of rain reached their own accord “I will guide you through the maze” “and I will guide your sword” soon the king will fall our time will be at hand there will be at last some balance in this land man to man brother to brother if one should fall what is left of the other blood to blood soul to steel I swear to you you will never kneel solo man to man brother to brother if one should fall what is left of the other blood to blood soul to steel I swear to you you will never kneel man to man brother to brother if one should fall what is left of the other blood to blood soul to steel I swear to you you will never kneel
