Hold The Line
03:00
|
|||
|
Pour the wine
We've still got time
To lose our minds
In holy wine
So don’t think twice
We’ve still got time
Heartache is always upstream
A stones throw from midnight and bad dreams
Lost love on death row at high speed lies
Full stop baby come clean
We’re land locked and lost in the trees
You bare your soul and we start cry
Sometimes love falls in many ways
But you and I will hold the line

Come To The Table
03:52
|
|||
|
And oh I’m strong
Yeah maybe too strong
And it’s been long
Maybe too long
But can you change me
Or will I change you
Can you fix me
Will I let you
Come to the table
Those who aren’t able to flight
Come to the table
All who aren’t able to say I’m all right
To the sick and tried lost lonely liars hypocrites and the vile
And all deprived broken every way murders and pedophiles
The owners of slaves mothers of the grave and fathers who defile
Or the fouls likes me who casually burn for their idols
Oh wretched man that I am who will save from this death
Oh wretched man that I am who will save from my death
Come to the table
Those who aren’t able to flight
Come to the table
All who aren’t able to say I’m all right
And oh I’m strong
Yeah maybe too strong
And it’s been long
Maybe too long

Fragile Friend
03:27
|
|||
|
Burn it down
Burn those bridges
And our love to the ground
And run away
But those years
You stole will leave a stain
And here it goes
Stating over again
Well trust is a fragile friend
A broken bones may mend
But hearts are paper-thin
|
||||
4. |
What You Never Had
03:06
|
|||
|
That’s how it goes
Love is a risky thing
With highs and lows
And broken hearts can bring
The best of foes
Tumbling to their knees
And hey you knew who I was
Hey you knew who I was
Hold on to that
Lie to yourself
You won't regret
What you never had
But now they know
You played the fool and lost
All your soul
The weight of love can crush
Blood and bones
Dreams and hopes to dust

Almost Home
05:05
|
|||
|
Well almost home
And hard to know
When lonely roads
Hold you close
And takes its toll
Like a heavy load
Weighs down your soul
And lays you low
So order our steps in your ways
With mercies new for today
And pass us the peace to stay
And walk this road
Prone to wander away
Sometimes our hearts just aren’t that brave
Pass us the peace to stay
Won’t you wander close
And if truth be told
Its like them dry bones
In the closet alone
Or a grave so cold
But a rainbow of hope
Has lassoed our souls
Remember grave stones
Will one day roll
And order our steps in your ways
With mercies new for today
And pass us the peace to stay
And walk this road
Prone to wander away
Sometimes our hearts just aren’t that brave
Pass us the peace to stay
Won’t you wander close

I Got Time
05:00
|
|||
|
I got time
And this time it coming true
Time for wasting on you
I got time
But this whole damn game
Is noting but cheap and fake
Lost in that old rat race
This whole damn game
In hindsight we were young
Falling head over heels
And coming undone
But ani’t that the game
Ani’t that the thing
When you got time
Suppose I’m shy
A nice guy and good for a laugh
And shallow drives that don’t look back
Suppose I’m shy
Or so damn lost
Cause baby the damage is done
Broke your heart and had my fun
So damn lost
In hindsight we were young
Falling head over heels
And coming undone
Playing the lost
Paying the cost
When I was shy
And I wish you were mine
Cause years gone and I’m alone
Homeless in our old home
And I wish you were mine
But your god damn heart
Baby we said goodbye
Breathed your last and closed your eyes
Your god damn heart
In hindsight we were young
Falling head over heels
And coming undone
Shot through the heart
Like a shot in the dark
When you were mine

On The Inside
03:43
|
|||
|
Get away
Got to get away
Had to run away
On the inside
Well hard to say
Darling, hard to stay
Had to run away
On the inside
To find out
What I really want
And no its not that easy
Not with all that I see
Two ways
Black and white they bleed grey
Driving me O sideways
Passive in my seat
|

8. |

|
All eyes on me
Oh it's plain to see
I fly solo
Don’t be deceived oh
Watch what you believe
Look for the shallow
Ain't no deep dark dive in this heart of mine
And God only knows what that means
Got that love loss lies and loneliness
In this idol factory
And I can't explain it
I'm not complaining
Oh but something’s got to breathe
Call it disease
Or my family tree
I'm a drinker
Casually
Take my casualties
On a bender
Ain't no deep dark dive in this heart of mine
And God only knows what that means
Got that love loss lies and loneliness
In this idol factory
And I can't explain it
I'm not complaining
Oh but something’s got to breathe

Chaos
04:25
|
|||
|
Grace, abound in my chaos
So love is found and fear is lost
Grace, abound in my weakness
So pride is drowned by mercy’s kiss
Just let go
And lose control
