Wildflowers 04:01
Wildflowers I don’t know what I’m doing round here anymore just waiting for a change or something maybe all the same I don’t know what I want to do with you anymore then you don’t know what to do with me Wildflowers on this dusty road in desolation somethings will grow so build a fence here and call it your own that loaded shotgun well you always be left alone Riding down roads well I can’t seem to let go of the things All the things I cannot change Keep cuttin corners and we hope its alright we tell the truth with our little white lies She stops and sighs as she looks down to cry and she says well I think its time we rest all this talking and there’s no stopping and we keep watching the same things goin round Keep cuttin corners and we hope its alright we tell the truth with our little white lies I know you could go your way i could go mine we could just quit this now leave it all behind we could keep fighting all goddamn night or we could both decide to try to make it right Come on come with me I know you're worried this is a part of a difficult journey but i think its worth it i know nothing’s perfect but we’ll stand tall even if we fall apart I know what you're thinking and you’ve got your reasons we keep on passing through all of these seasons but please don’t leave me my bones wouldn’t hold me we’ll stand tall even if we fall apart come on come with me i know you're worried this is a part of a difficult journey but please don’t leave me my bones wouldn’t hold me we’ll stand tall even if we fall apart

Shine A Light More or less I keep feeling the same way I keep dreaming of ways to see A future for you and me But like a still life image you sit I’m drawing up all that I can get These anxious eyes won’t sleep tonight so won’t you hold me tight? Sometimes I gotta walk away Let these feelings drift and sway And late nights up alone well my thoughts, they just drone Scribbled words and scribbled thoughts these feelings, that I got But, I’m so glad that your here Hold my hand tonight I need you to shine a light Cause only you can see What is happening to me I know Oh, and I need you to shine a light cause its getting dark tonight More or less I keep feeling the same way I got a worried mind and a troubled soul Its feeling so out of control but in your arms I’ll rest tonight And I’ll wait for morning light cause the worlds on fire tonight and there’s nothing I can do to make it right Make it right

Matter Of Time You ran off the gate Stepped onto the plane These days airports they all feel the same I gave you my best I wished you success As you walked away I swallowed the pain People coming and people are going Lost in the clouds the distance is growing Between you and I and some place in the sky Makes this all just a matter of time We knew you’d have to leave Put it all on the line Tastes bitter it tastes sweet To late to change our minds Whatever comes of you, whatever comes of me Whatever it’ll be, Whatever it’ll be This one bedroom place together we made I come home alone and i wait by the phone If only I knew how you were tonight Someday I’ll know and it’s all just a matter of time

When All You Got Is Worry..Let Go Wake up the in morning all you know it all looks the same Now that you're awake well you know that you’ve got all day To think about things you don’t know the names and all the problems that you hope Go Away When all you got is worry Well all you get is sadness And all you’ve got to do To get rid of this madness Let go its all in your hands Let go its all in your hands So let go let go and take a chance let go let go and take chance Worry worry always in a hurry turns out its fine in the end Think of all the times well you tell your self its all just the worst cards you’ve ever been dealt before Ruin ruin ruin all you have by telling yourself it’ll all be bad

Until We Are Dust The first thing I saw when I first opened my eyes was your smiling face and I realized that I had a friend for the rest of my life, hurling through space until we are dust; we end up in soil. The first time we met you shone like the sun and I knew that the future had much more than fun. Our path was unknown, a lifetime to toil. Through connections we make....until we are dust; we end up in soil. Convinced we are not this matters a bit, that every last movement inspires a twist. It doesn’t end here the ripples go far. Even words that are spoke...until we are dust; we end up in soil. I didn’t know when I first saw your face that time would inspire the rest of my life. It all started there and piles on top. Momentum of movements...until we are dust; we end up in soil. And even if I stumble, I wouldn’t fall that far. Though it makes me humble, I’ll get up. Right now...

Carry On 03:16
Carry On Don’t come around If you don’t know where you stand Don’t come around If you don’t know where your at Cause everyone’s scared Survival ain’t fair gotta watch your back cause danger will attack Gotta pick and choose these moments we abuse you’ve got your times and I’ve got mine we both got things we want in life but don’t you understand the issues here at hand everyone shoots to kill when survival’s all you feel Carry on, carry on with your lonesome self carry on, carry on when there’s no one else carry on, carry on keep your eyes on the ground carry on, carry on and don’t make a sound Don’t care about you only care about me times are hard and everyone’s got to eat so don’t come around if you don’t know where stand don’t come around if you don’t know where your at

In And Out Of Mind Not making an observation Just looking at indications its hard to get a grip when it all it slips and slips In and out of mind Not trying to fall to pieces I was only acting discretely Oh then I lost my grip everything it slipped and slipped In and out of mind

Apple In Your Hand Slick your hair back and down the hatch Your careless touch is all that they adore. Oee mama can you tell us what comes next. The crash and burn could pin me to the floor. Let’s take a look at all these lessons, Can you tell me which ones you identify with. While few of us we wait in carousel. But some are just lookin’ for love, yeah I’m just lookin’ for love Like an apple in your hand I feel less of a human being. A bullet in a war. ‘The hell am I investing in this campaign for? So, let’s call it for what it is, Let’s call it for what you are The happiest of all these friends, my favorite scar. To cross the bridge from sane to glad. Well if you have to, just let me come along. You know they think there’s nothin really wrong with you. You’re as rotten as these songs about love Like an apple in your hand, like an apple in your hand Like an apple in your hand… I feel less of a human being. A bullet in a war. ‘The hell am I still standing in your bedroom door? So, let’s call it for what it is, Let’s call it for what you are The happiest of all these friends, my favorite scar. Like an apple in your hand, like an apple in your hand, like an apple in the hands of my favorite scar.

The Maestro And The Elephant Don’t wait longer for all the things you’d rather cause nothing really matters in all the ways you see it everything seems so small But standing up here well you know its so clear just to watch yourself run and to watch yourself hide From all these fears of life
10.
Here’s Looking At You Broken Bottles on The floor A morning from the night before But you just sweep it up again Hope no one else sees these sins Blame it all on the past Your wearing your righteous mask cause nothing’s your problem now it’s everyone’s fault somehow Chorus Oh and all of these things and all of the ways you’ve changed You broke a part of everything We all wish you well here’s looking at you v2 The holidays came and went conversations that you weren’t in No ones talking about where you’ve been Will you ever come around again? Cause you're only wasting precious time You should’ve seen the way your mother cried Your father just shook his head No getting over all those words you said so now go your own way you made it clear all you had to say so raise a glass to one more lonely day we all wish you well here’s looking at you

Better Days (free) 03:05
Better Days Tongue tied and looking out the window Wonder which way now is the wind gonna blow? The pots boiling pressure is forming Scream and yelling everything has got to go I’ve got some people that don’t care for me I know I’ll just have to wait and see But this time I’m taking my final swing I’m walking onto better days These little idiosyncrasies are making up to be the bigger things I smile nod down this boulevard you’ve got to wonder how we got this far I’ve got some people that don’t care for me I know I’ll just have to wait and see But this time I’m taking my final swing I’m walking onto better days Better days then these I smile nod down this boulevard you’ve got to wonder how we got this far Better days then these

Beliefs 03:04
Beliefs Got to see some rain on the horizon cause we’ve been hungry and dried up for so long these days it feels just like survival wondering who is your friend or your rival but don’t you know its hard to see don’t you know its hard to see we all have our beliefs and oppositions always the proudest fight who’s to say oh who is wrong or right Cause you always tell me its my fault Maybe we’re both just at a loss Maybe the hardest thing to see is we all we all have our beliefs Everyone is tired and everyone is fighting riots on the streets and world that’s not at piece and politicians scheming and people that are screaming we all have our own yeah we all have our own love and we all have our beliefs

Time Machine 03:03
wake me wake me in the middle of the night out of this dream that i thought was my life and take me take me to a place between the stars cause they shine so bright so far away oh if i could see myself today 20 years from now what would I say oooohh did you love, did you cry or did you even try at all ooohhh did you ever let go did you really live at all bright lights bright lights on the highway tonight i'm going nowhere, and nowhere is fine find me find what i've been missing all this time I'm not the person that I used to be inside

the devil smells like country The devil smells like country, sweaty and oh so sweet. With tunes and blues and vagabonds he’ll drive you to your knees. The devil smells like trying, trying oh so hard. Keeping deeds within without showing any scars. The devil stole my conscience, for ransom it is held. I bleed and scream lie half asleep and it isn’t living hell. The devil lives within me and damned will never leave. And damned if I won’t let it out...occasionally.
15.
Shooting Stars I can see I can feel your disease just a joker and a thief like puppet on a string And I’ve got nothing to say to you And I’ve got nothing I want to prove You’re just one step ahead Of getting nowhere like the rest A society of drunks and intellects They’re all fighting to be the best And I’ve got nothing to say to you And I’ve got nothing I want to prove Cause here we are Like shooting stars Flying through the sky Burning up to try Still here we are
