Welcome home Where you were born and rays of sunlight lost and foundation ground Hear hills and trees, birds and because you're here they cheer Welcome home

Allways 04:40

Turn away you have something to say now Lead the way let your words betray you now Come back home so long you've roamed You'll find yourself home alone sit on your throne and call your friends Always I will be with you All time I will be with you Get what you need find a friend don't pretend you're okay it's okay You're on the mend coming back again Find your heart make a brand new start Please don't stop you've got a lot Always I will be with you All time I will be with you Take your time free your mind you'll find yourself Wide awake not afraid to make those same mistakes And I don't know what it is or where it came from not for sure Where you were is where you are now come back home Always I will be with you All time I will be with you

Goodbye Maryann 04:00
lyrics
buy track
The day I left, well, it was raining, Lines along the window Flowers paved the tracks for miles As if they tried to follow Speeding fast I ran away The flowers wished me well But all I had was me And my guitar case full of sorrow We said goodbye at 2 o’clock This train of no tomorrow Packed my bags and got on board And now I’m feeling hollow Goodbye MaryAnn, Goodbye my love Think of me in times of trouble Look to the stars above Look to the stars above The day I left well it was raining Lines along the window

Let it Burn 03:09
lyrics
buy track
Well the older I get, I find the less I know The farther the fall, the higher to go The cracks are so deep I think they’re starting to show, Still I let my troubles build, build, build And watch them grow Close your eyes Recede into the darkness of your mind Do you find life to be more kind?

Don't Let it Go Away 05:40
lyrics

The days are just too short The evening comes to soon The feeling is just right When the two of us ignite So don't let it go away At the end of everyday It's you I want always So don't let it go away The devil is the moon Turning midnight into noon To get that feeling right When the two of us ignite Your lipsticks all I taste You said take me to your place Let's get that feeling right And the two of us ignite

Demons 04:52
lyrics
buy track
Tell me your demons and all of your fears And I’ll hold you close in and out of the years He said that to me, and I knew even then That he lied through his teeth, But I took those lies in Life is in retrospect, don’t give a damn Tears that won’t fall surely dry in the wind We look back to go forward, and isn’t is strange That I lost me when I found you But it’s still all the same Take my love and run That’s all you’ve ever done for me, yeah Take my love and run That’s all you’ve ever done for me So rest your bones with me and I’ll be ok And tell me stories of yesterday That’s what he told me, what he used to say But I don’t hear that shit no more And baby that’s ok

Anyone 05:15
lyrics

You can hope that you wont go down with the ship But the captain always will You can think that you know what's coming next But you'll never know the rest So we slip and we fall surrender to it all hoping for the best Maybe what we need to hear this time of year lonely at its best You don't need anybody You don't need anybody You don't need anyone but yourself You remember everything you've done wrong A weary old song wont forget And you dwell on those thoughts you even get lost Led astray by your regret But its when that weight is holding you down you might just turn around You don't need to notice you don't need the crowd You don't need to worry you don't need me now You don't need to listen you don't need to talk You don't need to find me you don't care I'm lost You don't need anybody You don't need anybody You don't need anybody You don't need anybody You don't need anyone but yourself

Departed 10:05

It's all coming back to me now it's all coming back to me now It's all coming back somehow, yes it's all coming back to me We're so far departed from where we ought to be We're so far departed from who we ought to be We're so far departed from where we ought to be We're so far departed from who we ought to be Love yourself love yourself today Love yourself love yourself away Heal yourself with love it's the only way Love yourself set your soul ablaze

Fireside 02:59
lyrics
buy track
Mama why didn’t you tell us The truth of love and war? We run around in circles Always wanting more Patterned by the world around We meld into our forms Mama, please relieve us Of these bullshit norms Mama why didn’t you tell us That life would go so fast? I’ve been living in my mind Wading through the past Wake up in the morning light Wonder what day will bring Mama we’re just lost in time Come sit with me and sing It’s alright, by the fireside Stay with me, warm and dry It’s alright, by the fireside Stay a while, let’s get high Mama why didn’t you tell us The shadows fade to dust? I’m afraid of what will be When we’re left to rust Down in holes, forgotten souls Let it blow away Mama, will we be forgotten At the end of the day?

Down 05:20

I am a leaf floating down the river I know it's hard to believe the news I deliver You know I know it's a lot to consider You think that's the news they deliver You think it's not hard to be a sinner Not you not me will decide who will be the winner They will keep it all They will take it all To keep us down Keep us down To keep us down Keep us down To keep us down Crickets like the wheel of a coasting bike Thunder overhead lightning stike Jets fly by overhead Crickets and frogs songs lost in the crowd They will keep it all They will take it all With hope as our wrecking ball we take em' down With hope as our wrecking ball we take em' down With hope as our wrecking ball we take em' down With hope as our wrecking ball we take em' down To keep us down Keep us down To keep us down Keep us down To keep us down
