Get It Right 05:13
lyrics

I keep on seeing the same damn thing He brought you out wearing his wedding ring But once you muster the courage to ask he acts like you've got nothing to say We're huddled under the streetlight You say "Can you keep me safe tonight?" But just before my lips can form "I will", he goes and takes you away Don't let him take you away, my dear You've made it up in your mind somehow You know what's best for the masses now But soon you'll come to find they're all too tied to pay attention to you Your tortured ego is on the mend So you found yourself a new bunch of friends They've sold you all these lies and now you're convinced to turn your back on the few Don't turn your back on the few, my friend Come to the light, you'll get it right Come to the light, you'll get it right Come to the light, you'll get it right Come to the light, you'll get it right

Battles 04:07

Safe and sound there is nothing left to fear from here on out, tell you all about How to walk even how to write your name, maybe help you find what you're trying to find But I'm afraid I'll let you down, yeah I just know it, I just know it But I'm prepared to play this part, we worked so hard, oh so hard to get you Lift your friends always extend a helping hand, never hurts to share, let'em know you care Trust your heart child, speak with only eyes with the ones who know where you're trying to go The road you chose is filled with doubt, don't wanna go it alone, don't have to go it alone There comes a time when you must choose to realize your dreams that just never seem to come true Hear the chimes ringing bringing you the song of a brand new day, listen what I say Reach the stars like I always knew you could, baby be the man that I know you can I see how much you need me now and I'm still here, I'm always here My love for you will never die, so let the light shine in and you'll always win your battles

Best Laid Plans 04:00
lyrics

My mama told me many years ago There ain't a thing in life that hard work cannot earn I've carried it with me everywhere I've gone Living words of wisdom and the lessons that I've learned To have a heart that's made to face the fears in an ever-changing world Cause dreams die hard when you know that you can't win and dreams die hard when they're you're only friend Like the best laid plans of mice and men They get scattered to the wind Oh how your friends will come and go You'll spend a lifetime finding those who make you whole I've built up walls around my heart Heartbreaks and changes always seem to take their toll So many times I'm forced to fight back tears I just have to let them fall Cause dreams die hard when you know that you can't win and dreams die hard when they're you're only friend Like the best laid plans of mice and men They get scattered to the wind I've made up my mind Letting the path unwind I don't know where, but I know it's true that I must follow no matter where it goes The man that I must be has gone and set me free Until now, I've only reached the shore to feel the sand vanish in my hand Cause dreams die hard when you know that you can't win and dreams die hard when they're you're only friend Like the best laid plans of mice and men They get scattered to the wind

Mr. Coherent 04:44
lyrics

It must be some kind of pressure they put you under when you feel down You're looking out of my window, I hear you laugh, but I see no smile We share a look at the skyline, we see the darkness surround the moon The stars are dancing around her, twirling away through time and space, style and grace Just in case I'm on your mind This I swear I'll do my best to find If you're rushing towards that line I'd say you're just in time They call him Mr. Coherent, they think they know what's best for him Demanding answers to questions, but never asking how he feels No matter Mr. Coherent, your destiny is calling you Don't think you have to start over, you underestimate your charm, hold my arm Just in case I'm on your mind This I swear I'll do my best to find If you're rushing towards that line I'd say you're just in time What-haves and what-coulds are hopeless, you're living life as God intends That doesn't stop us from dreaming, just know that dreams fall short from grace No matter Mr. Coherent, you've got a girl with eyes like pearls She's got the love of her daddy, and it's as big as the whole wide world, lucky girl Just in case I'm on your mind This I swear I'll do my best to find If you're rushing towards that line I'd say you're just in time

I'll Be Okay 05:19
lyrics

It always starts the same, some overused cliche And now my mind's wide awake, reliving every mistake My heart's in two after learning the truth I feel I truly loved you before you woke up renew And I'll be okay All my friends can play And when my mood will sway They realize the day I'll be okay All my friends can play And when my mood will sway They realize the day Still got a painting she made, seems it's starting to fade Oh how she looked so afraid trapped in a silent charade Can't waste more time, hardly in my prime Taken time to swallow my pride, I've got nothing to hide And I'll be okay All my friends can play And when my mood will sway They realize the day I'll be okay All my friends can play And when my mood will sway They realize the day Had to carry most of the weight through my journeys of fate Learn to let go of hate before the hour grows late Get on out of here, bottle up your fear Give a great big cheer, always stay sincere And you'll be okay All your friends can play And when your mood will sway They realize the day I'll be okay All my friends can play And when my mood will sway They realize the day Realize the day

Hallowed Ground 04:07
lyrics

Crying laughing by the fireside Spinning yarn on those long car rides Six white horses on the hillside If she comes around boy you'd better run and hide Cause they say that life is what you earn Decisions made and lessons learned And we don't have to say a word Cause what's not said can still be heard Cause you and I know what's goin' down You and I know what's goin' down You and I know what's goin' down Cause you and I walk this hallowed ground Looking out across that highway Unpacking all the woes of the day Searching for the words to say Finding out that there's no other way Cause they say that life is what you earn Decisions made and lessons learned And we don't have to say a word Cause what's not said can still be heard Cause you and I know what's goin' down You and I know what's goin' down You and I know what's goin' down Cause you and I walk this hallowed ground

Second Natures 04:55

You keep looking to the sky for more, but the rain clouds always wanna pour Having trouble staying on your toes, where you're going baby, well no one knows Whether by land, whether by water Blood is thicker and the sun is hotter With a mountain view and a valley sound it's a wayward toss and we're homeward bound We're always baffled by our second natures Nature nature bring me peace and joyous wonder And when my dreams are filled with reckless dangers Sleepless sleep please bring me rest from endless ponder Blessed wisdom is a guide for you, may your gentle patience see you through Endless wonder in a time like this, it's a miracle that we co-exist We're always baffled by our second natures Nature nature bring me peace and joyous wonder And when my dreams are filled with reckless dangers Sleepless sleep please bring me rest from endless ponder Lend your shoulder when a good man cries, know the difference when he's telling lies Guard your soul, put it to the test, no one sees your work when you're at your best Whether by land, whether by water Blood is thicker and the sun is hotter With a mountain view and a valley sound it's a wayward toss and we're homeward bound We're always baffled by our second natures Nature nature bring me peace and joyous wonder And when my dreams are filled with reckless dangers Sleepless sleep please bring me rest from endless ponder

Zero Sum Game 03:35
lyrics

Just hear the things you say, why won't it come your way And I'm afraid your eyes grow heavy and dark It's just a fact of life you carry like a knife without a blade to cut your lies from the truth You wanna strike it hot, so show me what you got before you go and turn your back on the draw But fightin's what you do, the hell that you've been through You can't deny that you've been pitching it too Zero sum game spreading your trouble instead of your love Ain't it a shame The only one winning is the devil below But still the facts remain, you chose to stay the same, grew obsessed with quests of virtuous truth Without a path from here you doubled down on fear, hated by the new face roaming the town Perhaps you're feeling shy and not a bit to bright, you've gotta learn your lesson somehow Zero sum game spreading your trouble instead of your love Ain't it a shame The only one winning is the devil below

Never Far Away 05:42
lyrics

The past is all erased with each sunset We invest in a stolen moment before we even know it's gone Just like so many came before, today's a bright and shining day The present rides the birth of dawn Hills, trees, and valleys keep me planted on the ground Before a forest sprawls to life there only lies a single seed Fertile soil, luscious Earth, blessed Mother Nature takes her course Gives us all our families need Peace lives in the country May its everlasting love steer the ship that brings you home You may stay, or you may go, but you're never far away from peace at heart, peace at mind Hundred Acre Woods is bound to flood All our woodland creature friends are hanging out on makeshift boats Throw'em all a raft and help'em out, so that little golden bear and all his pals can stay afloat Once all of this gets said and done All our histories in slate and all our mysteries in dew Only fools who wish to feed a flame just to watch it burn away could ever dream our tales were true Peace lives in the country May its everlasting love steer the ship that brings you home You may stay, or you may go, but you're never far away from peace at heart, peace at mind

World On Fire 05:13
lyrics

Step inside my heartache shoes Walk a mile in my blues You'll be sad to hear the news That my love has been abused Walk inside my heartache home Spend your evenings all alone Look for love inside a phone Til you're weathered to the bone And everyone just can't wait to get back home Forget all about what you sang to them from a dim-lit room The truth will stand even when the world's on fire Don't you worry if you drop that match too soon Hop inside my heartache car Together we'll drive it far I'll kick off my heartache shoes Never thought that I could choose And everyone just can't wait to get back home Forget all about what you sang to them from a dim-lit room The truth will stand even when the world's on fire Don't you worry if you drop that match too soon

Lighthouse 06:08
lyrics

My eyes deceive me further and further from the shore This water is freezing, I feel it shake me to my core Yet I swim against the tide one more time One more day to feel this icy ocean numb my mind Still clear water lies ahead, easier to be said But once your chest hits the sand You're gonna pick yourself up, the sun will wash away all your tears Say your prayers and they'll be answered, honey don't you fear I see the lighthouse shining its beacon just for me Saying don't let the rogue wave swallow and strand you out to sea Sell off your only soul, put tens, then hundreds, thousands out on loan Sooner or later you'll see it's no one's problem but your own You might think I'm swell when I'm just standing five whole feet from hell Saying your pushing for peace, but you're pushing me down, so I'm pushing you out the door Still clear water lies ahead, easier to be said But once your chest hits the sand You're gonna pick yourself up, the sun will wash away all your tears Say your prayers and they'll be answered, honey don't you fear Don't you fear
