Song for You 03:24
Voices captured Long road ahead Not looking for a meaning Breathing in my lovers bed I don’t want to scare you but I’m feeling your soul If lovers prayer scares you tell me I should go Whispers on guitar strings strung Whispers of pasts undone How is it that you’ve caught me so completely when I’ve had this wall built around me? Always your eyes Always your words Always your voice Forgetting how to breath Always put my mind at ease Strip away fear of the past Praying that this music lasts
2.
Reach 03:48
Let me reach this world without a question or a prayer Let me reach this world without a reason Let me walk away before I undo what was done Let me walk away before I hurt you I would understand if you would rather be alone I would understand if you won't see me Something tells me I won't be the last friend you will know Something tells me you won't be mine either But even so I thought you'd know I will close the door and say goodbye Goodbye to you I won't take a moment of your time Everyone you meet will have story they can tell Everyone has something new to offer You might not remember me but I can promise you I will not forget what we have been through

Simplicity 03:52
Are you ready to go out or do you think it’s going to hurt Cause I could see you in an hour I always fade in front of you It’s cause I don’t know what to do or where to put my eyes I can see the colors of simplicity Oh my, its so bright I didn’t do a thing I’m just sitting here to sing Your disappointment is rising Could we wait another day Hopefully this goes away I know I’m not helping much Oh I can see the sun I apologize for taking a break from life again I’m trying to make amends to myself and everyone I don’t want to hold the gun anymore cause I might twitch a little bit.
4.
I never want to see your face again I beg and plead It’s a funny place it’s a funny emotion that I can’t escape I guess it’s chained to me It’s an ugly face It’s a law that everyone’s scared of love sometimes Everyone’s scared of love sometimes but I don’t want to see myself that way I’m running like a mouse in a maze to find my way to you It’s a lonely place, it’s a lonely adventure to the top of the world I don’t know what to do It’s a terrible maze Circle back you lost a friend Circle back you’re lost again Today it’s raining on just you I love you but I never trust myself to see complete If I make a mistake, if I lose you I’ll never ever feel the same to let my own heart beat Cause I’ve seen it before And I’ve seen that everyone’s scared of love sometimes Everyone’s scared of love sometimes but I don’t want to see myself that way

Digital 60s 05:14
For the love of everyone for the love of my mother Can we all just get along and love each other The music you make I relate to With the words you sing the meaning comes through Life is to short to hide it how I feel When I say I love you it's real Don't make me laugh cause I don't want smile But then I think, why not? It's been awhile Are you stepping on my shoes or are you just dancing? This world is too old to be taken for granted Emotions get lost through all the wires But if music doesn't speak call me a liar
6.
Listen to the wind breathe its piece while you’re safe behind the window Try to find the courage to relax with me behind the window I’ve been lost here once before and I still go Before you stray too far Listen to my voice Everything behind in the broken light is like a movie Your consideration has a price to pay, and it’s a steep fee I’m no good at letting go, if you knew me you’d surely say the same Listen to my voice I’m no stranger to the dark Only fools see black and white all the time Surrender to the moment cause the ride is cruel; it always will be Don’t fall back, cause you’re needed here to share your beauty There’s no right or wrong this time, it’s only living Again, listen to my voice
7.
If you’re looking frustrated with a smile wait around here for awhile Streets of frustration I can’t get away Oh no, I don’t want to stay And for a long time coming, I can’t come back here humming my tunes of a life changed all around From a long time of running I cant come back here humming my tunes of why I can’t handle it yet If you’re looking for comfort It’s only in dreams I don’t know what that means But if what you are is cold and you’re feeling old Well baby this place can’t help you here Can you help me follow this? Can you help me discover this? Can you help me follow this through? And now I know just where to go Cause someone keeps calling and calming me down
8.
Woke up, I found myself all alone Took a drink but I’m not so sure And the mirror’s screaming at me again. Go to sleep to drone out the tone of the silent phone. And my mother can’t tell me I’ll be alright anymore Cause I know for sure That I’m locked inside Have a drink of tea Write and email I don’t know what to say it goes something like do you have a place to sing To the saddest face Do you know what I mean And I’m not the same but I still want to escape It’s a terrible fate to be locked inside on a day like this It’s a fucking rollercoaster ride. Go to sleep at 5 wake up at 6 And the dreams I had are all going to make me feel so incomplete that I just don’t wanna eat
9.
Fairy Tale 03:03
The magazine gone and wrote my fairy tale Well I took that magazine and tore it up and threw it in flames into a garbage truck cause the magazine gone and wrote my fairy tale It's been so long since I seen the light of day The shades my eyes are accustomed to have brought me down to the devils blues cause it's been so long since I seen the light of day You ask me why I'm going crazy Well I'll tell you why I'll tell you why I was born with rebel and a broken heart So everyday my life seems falls apart To tell the truth don't mean to tell a lie Is it the lies that sink me down cause I wear the truth with a heavy crown To tell the truth don't mean to tell a lie Called out I'm a known run Weighed down for far too long If I'm gonna run now I don’t know where I'm going alright I’m going but am I allowed to say I know I done wrong and I want to change I want to change For the better and for the worse You ask me why I'm so damn troubled well I'll tell you why I'll tell you why There are some things that just can't be said Before you find out I'd rather be dead
10.
Lifeline 04:09
Happy are they who don’t understand their burdens Wait for the Lord to choose Heaven or Hell No need for rhyme or reason Lucky is he who takes what he’s given and offers no change Has one too many, but he doesn’t care or waste his time searching for answers Need a reason to live Each time you falter or stumble No need to forgive We shared a lifetime of hopes and repressions it’s high time to live A lifeline of shared apprehensions and we take what we give I’ll tell you mine if you show me yours Our bags are all full I’ll lend you a hand if you take what you’ve got I know it’s a lot to carry Take a breath and hold on Cling to the warmth that surrounds you Always say, “carry on...” How did I know where you would go for shelter? I saw you so clearly and I see you now You have to allow for something
11.
Is it that you’re running from all that brings you here Lies that bring the sweetness falter and appear You’ve lost your will to penetrate You are you are your weakest state You are the fool that blames your flame But you carry on Deceive your own true love so you would be alone All that you ever were, not forgotten but gone What has it come to? A falling back on sin Feel the difference now that you’re old, a running race to the end
12.
Slow down it seems A reassuring dream I will let you hold on to me Always knowing what it means Falling down Is what I've found But wait Cause I can see the silence In the space Between us Slow down I'm here Let them all disappear I will hear your voice always and You will see my weakest face Falling down Is what I've found But wait Cause I can see the silence In the space Between us When is our time? But wait Cause I can see the silence In the space Between us
