i've
lived this day a thousand times it won't go away
and all i can see
are the eyes of people i will never be
and it makes me
ill the way You love me still
i can't decide if
You're the missing piece buried in my mind
immersed in sand
i try to reach try to take Your hand
and it makes me
ill the way You love me still
i think back to the
days i was around
and it brings me
down to a place i've never been
i think back on
a picture of a child and dream awhile
all the more i miss
Your perfect ever shaking heart
solace came with
a drop of blood and a taste of shame
when You took my
turn You struck a match and You let it burn
and it makes me
ill the way you love me still
i think back to the
days i was around
and it brings me
down to a place i've never been
i think back on
a picture of a child and dream awhile
all the more i miss
Your perfect ever shaking heart

SOLACE
co-produced by karina sprinkle |
in
these recent years i have noticed that your face has slightly changed
in this season of
the bitter pill that pulled your heart away
in the daylight
when it hits you straight on
see the lines in
your face have begun
when i tell you that
you're beautiful like a second hand that stopped
you remind me of
a waterfall that turned the earth to mud
in this season of
the bitter pill that pulled your heart away
feel it coming in
again
all that you've known
up till now
you could trade
for this thought i'm singing about
that now and again
i'll play the fool
but i love you so
much i wish i were you
all that you've known
up till now
you could trade
for this thought i'm singing about
that now and again
i'll play the fool
but i love you so
much i wish i were you

I
WISH I WERE YOU

they
met her at the baggage claim
when they read her
rights she was causing quite a scene
so they threw her
in the lincoln town with the cuffs too tight
did they have to
be so mean
she was on her way
to kalispell
to a relatives
just to lay it low
a while
but they must've
tapped the phone again
even though he's
gone they won't let her off the line
so she thinks out
loud as she screams and shouts
i'm not the one
they found me guilty by association

as
i take this immunity
i'm wondering what
you would do to me
if you found out
you know that you
could've walked away
without a scratch
but you had to stay
with your watered
down friends
so i cry myself awake
to keep from sleeping
all day
and i think i'm
borderline
losing my mind
you wrote my name
with an underscore
it made me realize
what i'm good for
and it's not all
bad
before the laughter
had just begun
around a table with
everyone
is too good to be
true
i follow lines that
never end just to reach you again
i get tired and
then i break down
so i will rest and
in the daybreak i will find you and be
forever your friend
again
so i cry myself awake
to keep from sleeping
all day
and i think i'm
borderline
losing my mind

NOT
ALL BAD
produced by blake wescott |
and
i have become much less
wide eyed for your
indiscretions
and i can't understand
why you've chosen me
to keep those dreadful
stories
friendly
and your eyes are
darker when
the sun hits your
brow
you were young once
but you're older now
you are older now
standing in the shadow
of what you were waiting for
standing in the
shadow of what you were waiting for
will your faith be
rewarded
and will you ever
see
how can i know where
you are love
when you're right
beside me
when you're right
beside me
standing in the shadow
of what you were waiting for
standing in the
shadow of what you were waiting for
you are older now
you are older now
you are older now

FRIEND I HAD

mae
my friend
will you ever understand
that this might
have been
a beginning to the
end
all the days all
the nights
of living out of
boxes underneath the sky
but mae my friend
will
you ever understand
this time
i've given up on
wondering where your head has gone
all i think about
these days is your tired heart
and i'll bring it
back again
mae don't fret
i never wanted this
to be my friend
a beginning to the
end
bring it back bring
it forward
and all you need
to know is that i wanted more
but mae my friend
it could have been
the end
this time
i've given up on
wondering where your head has gone
all i think about
these days is your tired heart
and i'll bring it
back
maybe this time i'll
get through
to the best of you
all my years of
letting down
have driven you
to the ground
mae my friend
will you ever understand
that this might
have been
a beginning to the
end

take
me for a fool and i'll do the same for you
to catch what's
coming down i'll repeat myself out loud
finally i recall
all the photographs on the wall
all my friends agree
that the latter half is not me
a long time ago i
might have been
tying my hope around
you again
but holding me now
won't do any good
'cause i died before
i could
remembering what
i've seen takes an awful lot out of me
some day you might
hear an apology that's sincere
a long time ago i
might have been
tying my hope around
you again
but holding me now
won't do any good
'cause i died before
i could
the pain that's all
around could make me it's home so i call it my own
as sorry as i seem
you never could dream what sorry could be
a long time ago i
might have been
tying my hope around
you again
but holding me now
won't do any good
'cause i died before
i could
feel anything that
matters today
sing songs that
won't go away
all i can do all
that's left to be
is feel it openly

SORRY COULD BE

in
a room of crooked faces
you never wanted
to replace this
in your memory
now the thing that
comes to your mind
is an awful word
to describe
a sense of peace
it won't get better
on it's own
and it'll follow
you along
all in a day's work
the day you went
out on your own
is the day you should
have known
that it's all in
a day's work
all in a day's work
in a room of crooked
faces
you never wanted
to replace this
in your memory
now the thing that
comes to your mind
is an awful word
to describe
a sense of peace
but I've given you
a heart
that I never will
discard
all in a day's work
when you feel My scar
it'll bring you
next to Me
when I was hanging
from a tree
all in a day's work
all in a day's work
and in the meantime
you and I could
fly
to a place that's
warm
you'll never be
alone
all in a day's work

ALL
IN A DAY'S WORK

hold
on a red line
you're taking more
than i'd like
it's getting harder
but it's so what
i want to be
you're talking to
a dead man
you listen like
a wet cat
i'm too elated
this is so what
i want to be
farther away but
feeling better than
i've ever
wanted to say
you'll never get
a step ahead of me

STEP AHEAD

all
this ringing in my ears
made me numb over
the years
lately i can feel
a little more of you
in me
i've given up unto
myself
drinking from the
weakest well
all i want is just
some peace of mind
tonight
but i'm fine without
it
i'm beginning now
to understand that its nothing i can say
when motor cars
with racing stripes keep getting in my way
but this time i
can see the very one thing that i need
