Verse
Can I take this time to bear my soul to you?
These thoughts inside my head
I swear, they want me dead
Losing all my faith in everything
Gotta find a way to end my suffering
Chorus
Most days I hardly hope
This cold wind will blow me home
Is it always darkness before we see the dawn?
Most days I'm feeling weak
Lost and aimless like a sheep
Could you tell me where my Good Shepherd's gone?
Have I been wandering along?
Verse
To tell you the truth, I'd really like to go
Away from this old Earth
Sleeping soundly in the dirt
Perhaps I may have said a tad too much
Or maybe you just haven't heard enough
Chorus
Most days I hardly hope
This cold wind will blow me home
Is it always darkness before we see the dawn?
Most days I'm feeling weak
Lost and aimless like a sheep
Could you tell me where my Good Shepherd's gone?
And I'll stop wandering along.

Verse
Love can't grow when the roots are seeded in the rocks
And change won't happen if we keep on living in a box
I've seen you hurt
Felt your cries
I've stand silent all the time
Chorus
Your voice will be heard
I won't say a word
Shout it out
Break me down
Weave these words into my skin
Hungry for the healing to begin
Verse
Well we can't the peace when you're staring down the barrel of a gun
We don't know who to trust when the story gets distorted where it's spun
Hurt you once
Broke you twice
Benefited all those times
Promise I will listen to your hurt
Verse
Violence can't bring back the lives we've seen tragically lost
Silence can kill what's been built from the highest of costs
You and I
Side by Side
Keep believing as we cry
One day this will all just be a dream.

The Other Side
04:23
|
|||
|
Verse
Everywhere I turn always seeing
broken people, shaken people
The world is unforgiving everyone is
angry fearing, hateful tearful
Spiraling out of control
Can we all endure some more
Is there any guarantee
They'll be an end for us to see?
Chorus
Anybody out there listening (Calling out your name)
Fading in and out of consciousness (Am I the one to blame?)
Hope runs scares
I pray for help
Or am I talking to myself?
Will I ever be ok?
Or will I remain the same?
Will I make it to the other side?
Verse
I try my best to smile through the strain
But I crumble and I crack
Discouraged in the darkness of these days
Craving all the faith that I lack
These wars we fight ever stop
Will we ever reach the top?
Will we make it out alive?
Will we make it all out in time?
Keep it all
Keep it all
Keep it all inside (All inside, all inside)

Choke
03:55
|
|||
|
Verse
Always running
But I don't get far
Doubts keep floating
Like smokes from cigar
Isolation calls my name
Restless thoughts that I can't tame
Chorus
How long will I keep wasting away
SIliently killing myself in this way
I'm becoming secondhand smoke
Hold your breath before you choke
Verse
Wish I was stronger
Losing these fights
Love's at the door
But I punch out the lights
Isolation I accept
I deserve these punishments
Verse
Always rushing
into the arms
Of familiar habits
that gave me these scars
Isolation calls me friend
You'll never see me again
Outro
I've been waiting
I've been praying
I've been searching for so long
For a light to guide me home
And to never feel alone
If you're there in the darkness
Swiftly safe me from myself
Break these walls
I've been hiding
Pick me up from where I fell

Roses and Thorns
03:29
|
|||
|
Verse
You show me roses
But I only see the thorns
You give me love
But I don't know what for
You kill me softly
With the kindness you show
If I were you, I'd cut my losses and go
Chorus
Holding my breath
As I continue to sink
Slowly to the bottom of the sea
Losing my breath
The light above starts to shrink
Darkness is all that's left for me
Verse
You give me pleasure but I just give you pain
You bring me light but I drown you in rain
My constant ups and downs must drive you insane
I'd understand if you just walked away
Chorus 2
Holding my breath
As I continue to sink
Slowly to the bottom of the seas
Losing my breath
The light above starts to shrink
Am I too far for your love to find me?

Running
03:35
|
|||
|
Verse
Never throwing caution to the wind
Preventing all the walls from caving in
Holding onto things I should let go
Never let the seeds inside me grow
Believing that I'll only bring you down
Creating only pain when I'm around
Think its time for me to leave this town
Chorus
I'm always running
I'm always running
I'm always running
Verse
Holding onto hope is hard these days
Darkness always swallows it away
Light begins to show then starts to fade
Leaving us with only cloudy days
I try to let the sun shine on my skin
Even when the light outside grows din
I can feel the darkness closing in
Outro
Does anybody feel like running?
Does anybody feel like running?
Does anybody feel like running?
Cause I feel like running

Burden To Love
03:56
|
|||
|
Verse
I'm in disbelief
By you loving me the way that you do
What do you see in me?
Can't accept that I'm the one that you choose
Would you wait for me
When I fall again to the ground?
Would you still want me around?
Chorus
Would you still love me if I told you all the things that I am?
Would you still love me if the castles that I built were made of sand?
Wondering, wondering
Am I a burden to love
Verse
Fortified
So you don't have to see what I am
Stand aside
Don't try to save what's already damned
Could you break these walls
I've been building up all these years
Help me slowly face my fears?
Outro
(I'm just a burden to love)
Take these thoughts
From me head
Tired of living like I'm dead

Day At A Time
04:24
|
|||
|
Verse
I keep on writing songs
About building walls
But someday, I hope they all come down
Keep on riding alone,
Living life on my own
Maybe someday, someone will come around
Step by step
breathing in these breathes
Need a couple feathers more to fly
Breaking down these walls will take some time
Chorus
I don't know where this is going
But I like just where we're at
Heaven up above always lighting up our path
I don't know about you but I keep smiling
When I'm with you
Always learning 'bout each other every day
Never running out of things to say
Together we'll continue to climb
One day at a time
One day at a time
Verse
We keep on smiling and laughing
Share what's been happening
In these crazy days
Staying up and just talking
from night until morning
I think that deserves some praise
Verse
It's no shocker to me
You help everyone see
Just how special they really are
All the things you do
Help inspire me to
Not be ashamed of all of my scars
Step by step
Breathing in these breaths
Need a couple feathers more to fly
You bring all this light into my life

Found Someone
05:11
|
|||
|
Verse
Well you make me feel like flying
When I'm fallen
You make me feel like laughing
When I'm so damn close to crying
I think that I found someone
I think that I found someone
I think that I found someone
For me
Chorus
Falling in love isn't hard to do
When the person that you're falling for is someone like you
I know I'll a lot of mistakes
I'll do my best to live my life in the grace
My heart skips a beat every time that I see your face
Verse
Well you make me feel complete
When I'm broken into billions of pieces
You're the person I hope to meet
I've been searching for all through the seasons
Verse
All the places where I used to run to
I'd rather run straight into your arm
If the big bad world tries to hurt you
I'll hold you tight to keep you from harm
I think that I found someone
I know that I found someone
I finally found someone
For me

Coffee And Whiskey
03:42
|
|||
|
Verse
Darling, meet me this evening
On the wrong side of town
We'll drink coffee and whiskey
Taking in those city sounds
One more sweet, tender kiss 'fore I go
As long as your love's in my heart
I'm never alone
Chorus
I've been longing for the warmth of your touch
I can't count the ways you've loved me so much
Not a day that goes by where I don't think of you
Through thick and thin, we'll see this all through
Verse
Darling, call me this evening
Miss the sound of your sweet voice
Just keep on believing
I'll make it back to Illinois
World is changing, we know
Long as your love's in my heart, I'm never alone
Verse
Darling, life sure ain't easy
When we're million miles apart
Kept your letters and writing
Memorized them all by heart
Every word that I read I could feel
I promise my love
I'll be home soon

Make It Through
04:19
|
|||
|
Verse
I started this week
Hungry for hope
The world got me pinned down at the end of it's scope
It all gets too much to the point where I
Just can't cope
Chorus
I got half a mind to quit
Half a heart to fight
Dangling slow
At the end of my rope
We'll make it through x5
Verse
They say, "God's in the rain"
But I struggle to see it
I envy all the people who have the faith to believe it
We're searching for the answers
And some people think they've found it
Verse
I got a spark in this heart
It blinks and it flickers
The winds of this year have caused my glow
To burn dimmer
Will it get worse before we all
Start to feel better?

Here To Stay
04:25
|
|||
|
Verse
Most of my life
I spiral out of control
Breaking off the pieces that I wish would stay whole
Getting used to always picking myself up from this cold floor
But since the day I met you
Everything began to change
Trials in my life, one by one
Would disarrange
Never thought I would see life outside of this self made cage
Chours
Dark days
They're still coming
But I know that I'll be safe in your arms
My feet
They ain't running
Cause I want to be wherever you are
Oh
I'll hold you till the pain goes away
We're gonna be ok
Verse
When it comes to my heart
I guard it close to my chest
Choices that I've made have turned my life to a mess
The times I've spent with you made me feel like
I've been blessed
My walls keep coming down
Every time you're next to me
You helped restore my faith
So I can walk where I can't see
Verse
This world takes what it wants
Never cares who it hurts
Try to make it better
End up making it worse
But know that you and I, side by side, we'll make this work
You help me to be strong
When the world is unforgiving
When I'm beating down
Your love gives me the healing
Your presence in my life give me purpose for the bleeding
Dark days
They're still coming
But I know that I'll be safe in your arms
My feet
They ain't running
Cause I want to be wherever you are
Oh
I'll hold you till the pain goes away
Because I'm here to stay.
