This Day 03:13
lyrics

Long shadow gonna’ cast an omen Breaking open Hardened hearts are blue This day you’re gonna’ wake up crying Troubles blinding Choices are too few Now and then you’re gonna’ be a victim You swear you had no clue This day, one day I’ll remember One day, time changed forever Opening eyes, for a simple mind This day, one day I’ll remember One night gonna’ cause your mourning All that’s borne in Years of suffering you Won’t hear another desperate query Grown too weary Black hole to pass through You’re right, I’m wrong So right, I’m gone This day, one day I’ll remember One day, time changed forever Opening eyes, for a simple mind This day, one day I’ll remember

Gravity 04:25
lyrics
buy track
It's been a long time Since we been willing To take a chance and take flight again Too much time Asleep in mundane not enough fire, too much wind Gravity never seems to fail us When falling down a mountain The earth it moves beneath our feet If I could hold your hand Ride this to the bottom You and me could rise again Could we rebuild Warm river nights We’ll never know unless we try Just one more time Could be amazing You know I'm game for this ride Gravity never seems to fail us When falling down a mountain The earth it moves beneath our feet If I could hold your hand Ride this to the bottom You and me could rise again Blankets of white Shred like paper Moving fast along these hills Our deepest tracks Will soon be fading No one knows where we’ll ride Gravity never seems to fail us When falling down a mountain The earth it moves beneath our feet If I could hold your hand Ride this to the bottom You and me could rise again It's been a long time Since we been willing To take a chance and take flight again

South Of South 03:43
lyrics

Born south of gifted, I’ve always drifted from time to place, place to time Just a little rhyme, just a little rhyme keeps me happy in my mind Born south of the gold-paved road where the children run and the heroes come Born south of my own time and the rolling hills and the fireside Born south of long soft days and a simple laugh through a whiskey bath Born south of south, I’m born south, I’m born south of south Born south of genius, thought I was a phoenix, from time to place, place to time Never had a dime, never had a dime Just tryin’ to get on by Born south of the gold-paved road where the children run and the heroes come Born south of my own time and the rolling hills and the fireside Born south of long soft days and a simple laugh through a whiskey bath Born south of south, I’m born south, I’m born south of south Don’t get a say in where we come from only where we end Always watching where I’m going never where I been Starting off a step or two behind won’t slow anywhere I go Born south of talent, filled myself with malice, from time to place, place to time Nothing will I find, nothing will I find Just strugglin' to see the light Born south of the gold-paved road where the children run and the heroes come Born south of my own time and the rolling hills and the fireside Born south of long soft days and a simple laugh through a whiskey bath Born south of south, I’m born south, I’m born south of south Born south of south, I’m born south, I’m born south of south Born south of south, I’m born south, I’m born south of south

Never Jenny 03:04
lyrics
buy track
She’s pretty, new and smart with habaneras in her heart She never fails to make a good boy cry I wander down the road, carrying my load At times, I stop and wonder why She’s Jennifer or Jen but never Jenny She’s Jennifer or Jen but never Jenny She’s Jennifer or Jen, can you remember when you knew a girl impossible as her? I’m guilty of the same, I mispronounced her name I said Jenny, what am I to do? She looked at me with steel, then I felt her heel Buried deep within my shoe She’s Jennifer or Jen but never Jenny She’s Jennifer or Jen but never Jenny She’s Jennifer or Jen, can you remember when you knew a girl impossible as her? Why she does this to me highway always brings another One for one is never done Ocean always brings less trouble No matter what I say I’m locked inside her game she knows what I know better than me I tell myself I’m free, I can do what I please This girl will always find me and she’ll drown me She’s Jennifer or Jen but never Jenny She’s Jennifer or Jen but never Jenny She’s Jennifer or Jen, can you remember when you knew a girl impossible as her? She’s Jennifer or Jen but never Jenny She’s Jennifer or Jen but never Jenny She’s Jennifer or Jen, can you remember when you knew a girl impossible as her?

God Speed Curiosity 04:11
lyrics

Pick a road you'll go down Turn away from the critical crowd It's not far 'til you get through It's only half the way that they're telling you God speed curiosity, who knows which way we'll go Blended expectations left lying on the floor God speed curiosity, no right up down or wrong In the end, it's you it’s you my friend Wipe the red dust from your eyes From a planet where everything's surprise Travel out or travel in Where you end comes from where you might begin God speed curiosity, who knows which way we'll go Blended expectations left lying on the floor God speed curiosity, no right up down or wrong In the end, it's you it’s you my friend Sometimes it seems you fell astray When moving rocks and stones is all you do all day If you need somewhere else to go Just follow blinking lights, that’s all you need to know God speed curiosity, who knows which way we'll go Blended expectations left lying on the floor God speed curiosity, no right up down or wrong In the end, it's you it’s you my friend It's you it’s you my friend It's you it’s you my friend

The Apple 02:55
lyrics
buy track
My daddy was a stray and ran away from the flock I've got a wandering eye ‘cause I'm a chip off the block You know that the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree You say you’re gonna’ come and rescue me Well, sooner or later, you’re gonna’ see You know that the apple doesn’t fall very far from the tree My daddy always said never let ‘em get inside your head I’m standing pretty strong on every word that he said I know it’s not right but it comes from home Runs through my veins and I feel it inside my bones Well, my daddy always ran when they told him to walk I can't stand in one place ‘cause I'm a chip off the block You know that the apple doesn’t fall very far from the tree I know you haven’t heard a word I’ve said You better listen close before you put it to bed You know that the apple doesn’t fall very far from the tree Daddy always said never let ‘em get inside your head I’m standing pretty strong on every word that he said I know it’s not right but it comes from home Runs through my veins and I feel it inside my bones Well, I’m not sure if it’s right or wrong You know we’re given different traits and we pass ‘em along You know that the apple doesn’t fall very far from the tree Gather all your friends and gather your thoughts You’re either born with it or you’re not You know that the apple doesn’t fall very far from the tree My daddy always said never let ‘em get inside your head Standing pretty strong on every word that he said I know it’s not right but it comes from home Runs through my veins and I feel it inside my bones I said I feel it inside my bones I feel it inside my bones

Distracted 03:40
lyrics
buy track
If I seem distracted, it's 'cause I'm distracted Our time was protracted by a strange sense of love Something don't feel right under the bar lights Are there men behind me and do they have guns? I'll finish my spirit 'cause nothin' gets wasted The drug that I've tasted has offered me fun Time may blur the lines Nothin's quite defined But if you look behind these eyes you're gonna' find a restless child The way that I've acted has often impacted the things we don't factor, like labor or love The time that we spent here is never quite clear dear We ventured out on an uncharted storm All that I know is and what I will go with is I miss your laughter, the taste of your tongue Time may blur the lines Nothin's quite defined But if you look behind these eyes you're gonna' find a restless child Dig in, bury Hope it carries Fruit of vision Sunlight condition Because of the tension and now that you mention I've turned my attention to a power above And if there's redemption then I'll wash my face in The water that flows from the cold melting snow The earth it has shifted and what I was gifted is given away, it belongs to you now Time may blur the lines Nothin's quite defined But if you look behind these eyes you're gonna' find a restless child But if you look behind these eyes you're gonna' find a restless child restless child restless child

Spark 03:19
lyrics

Don't want to sleep don't want to dream Don’t want to do the things that I've done so many times before Tonight we got a chance to make it alright before you go out the door Don't want to sleep don't want to dream Don't want to end the night when I'm finally hearing you And you’re hearing me It's such a rarity Don't step on this spark, I won't In a low lit room in it glows Don't want to sleep don't want to dream Don't want to miss a chance that chance sometimes gives In a cloudy mirror clear images appear Don't want to sleep don't want to dream Don't want a silent image in my history It's already filled with pictures I don't want to see Don't step on this spark, I won't In a low lit room in it glows

Walk Away Canary 02:44
lyrics
buy track
One someday morning, without warning Earth will tremble, and the sky will burn Sea will boil, stars recoil Moon will swallow up the sun And we’ll all have fun Rolling in the ashes Staring at bright flashes From above As you hear me You must know dear Don’t take life here so seriously When mountains crumble, roar and rumble There comes a shadow, giving light an end Ere lurks an omen, darkened warning No rainbows to extend And we’ll all have fun Rolling in the ashes Staring at bright flashes From above As you hear me You must know dear We don’t take life here so seriously
