Stone's Throw
03:31
|
|
||
Cast a stone for every mile
Thought about but never made
Gathered the stones and built a pile
Left the pile in it's place
Walked away with no regrets
Or second thoughts about the past
Just unmade memories left behind
And a chance to try again
But if it sinks in
Before I cast out
It's bound to weigh me down
Like a ton of bricks
It's sinking in
I can feel it now
But I'm willing
To learn from this
If that's what it takes
I'll give it
All I got to give
Until my spirit breaks
Cast a stone for everytime
I thought to change but never did
Gathered the stones and built a shrine
Until the shrine became to big
Then I left it all to rot
Forgot about all my mistakes
I started gathering again
Until a new shrine takes its place
But if I give in
While I wait it out
It's bound to bring me down
Like an anchor
I'm sinking down
And even faster now
But I'm willing
To let go of this
If I can find the strength
Then I'll be
Weightless
And I'll surface again
Cast a stone for ever hour
I let the seconds slip away
One by one they built a tower
Turned the minutes into days
But if I could get these seconds back
Would they still go to waste
Could I have what I never had
If I never let these seconds fade
Time spreads thin
Like a virus
Squeezes out the life
Creates a state
Of emptiness
Grows like a vine
So let me bleed out
Like I'm dying
Put my bones to rest
I'm weak now
But I'm fighting
Ain't got much left

A Wanderer's Song
03:17
|
|

I watched as days
Turned into nights
I watched the moon fade
And the sun rise
I've been in love
And I've been alone
And I've got to rise above
Just to feel at home
I've seen the young
Become the old
I've seen nothing at all
Turn into gold
So then when I'm gone
I won't be coming back now
Wherever I roam
Whether or not I belong
I'll make a home
But I know it won't last long
No it won't last long
Know it won't last long
Down and out but not forgot
Just holding on for something new
A piece of what I never had
Just to taste something true
So I will wander for a while
On a road that never ends
Searching for a lost smile
Hoping that I find some friends
Cause I'm aware the truth at hand
There's nothing sacred here for me
Just a road that never ends
And a dream of being free
So then when I'm gone
I won't be coming back now
Wherever I roam
Whether or not I belong
I'll make a home
But I know it won't last long
No it won't last long
Know it won't last long

Bitter Cold
03:29

|

I was a mile south of Virginia
On a greyhound headed home
What was waiting for me when I made it there
Only my devils know
It was just the first day of winter
And the air was bitter cold
I somehow always find myself here
Every time it snows
It's not to far for me now
I can see the end of the line
It's a golden light with a silver lining
Revealed in good time
Taking it slow and steady
One god damn day at a time
I know now I'm ready
And I ain't afraid to die
And I know
I'll find my way
Through the maze
Cause the sun
Is fail safe
It'll light the way
Now the days go by
So fucking slow I
Can't seem to tell if
They even move at all
But I don't mind the standing still
As much as the not going anywhere
It's what leads me to a place
That's neither here or there
Yea I know
It's not what's best for me
But I don't know
How to love
Without the pain and misery
Keeping me company
Keeping me grounded keeping me free
These are the things I claim to be
Ever evolving eternally
And I know
I'll find my way
Through the maze
Cause the sun
Is fail safe
It'll light the way

Nowhere New
03:48
|
|

Coming back around again
But I feel I've been here all along
Singing all the same old songs
Only now the words have changed
And I'm struggling to find the key
And I lost the melody
But I don't think it matters much
Just hoping that at least it feels the same
But even the name has changed
So where do go from here
Do we start from scratch and pretend it's something new
Or do we keep playing through
There's a line
Missing from the verse
And I can't recall
What I heard
It sounded like
Dying mans words
But were they spoke
Or gently whispered
Now I'm back where I began
Singing all the same old songs I sang before
I can't write new ones no more
I'll just change the words a bit
Switch around the chords and move the key
But I'll keep the melody
Don't think it'll matter much
Don't think that anyone would ever know
If they did they wouldn't let it show
So what's the point if I
Write something new or recreate something old
I don't think I'll ever know
There's a line
Missing from the verse
And I can't recall
What I heard
It sounded like
Dying mans words
But were they spoke
Or gently whispered
I could have swore I left this place
But now I'm not sure I even moved
Now I'm scared to learn the truth
So now I'm trying to
Hold onto youth to keep from growing old
Now where's there left to go

Travel Well
03:26

|

I'll always choose
The road less chose
And never lose
Sight of the path I roam
This choice I'll make
Will lead me home
And set the stage
To see what the future holds
Our lives have changed
For better or worse it's all the same
Cause one day they'll change again
But until then
Travel on
And travel well my friend
Along the coast
The sun's setting
We're chasing ghosts
With hopes to cure the dead
But on the ride in
I watched the shore shift
I watched the light bend
It changed the way I think
Our lives have changed
For better or worse it's all the same
Cause one day they'll change again
But until then
Travel on
And travel well my friend

Where The Spirit Grows
04:12

I stand in a river
Watch the stream as it goes.
The water rushes by me
But the moment moves slow.
As I stand in this river
Soaked to the bone
Life passes by me
Like a river to a stone.
But there's hope I know,
I've seen it here before.
I know where it grows,
I've seen it choose it's form.
Therein lies,
The secrets to life,
And they'll never hide anymore.
The air is crisp like the winter,
Watch the snow as it falls.
The wind blows right by me,
I barely notice at all.
I'll be lost here forever
Watching snow as it falls.
And life passes by me
I couldn't care at all.
But there's hope I know,
I've seen it here before.
I know where it grows,
I've seen it choose it's form.
Therein lies,
The secrets to life,
And they'll never hide anymore.
And I will live this
Forevermore
Until I choose
Choose this no more.
As the spirit grows
Will I have chose
Float with the river
Or sink like a stone
Where will we go
From here
Where will I go

Stronghold
03:28
|
|

I'm drunk again
From sipping on my sins
But I like to let
This feeling sink in
Cause in desperate times
And times of need
I like to let
These feelings feed on me
Long after I'm gone
Will you still keep
The words to my songs
Long after I'm gone
Will you still be
Holding strong
The things I want
All this shit that I need
The things I am
All my god damn beliefs
Don't matter now
Won't matter then
Because some how
We'll make it through the end
Long after I'm gone
Will you still keep
The words to my songs
Long after I'm gone
Will you still be
Holding strong

Long Way Down
03:08
|
|

I know I let it go to hell
But there's still a part of me that keeps looking back
Hoping there's still something there
Hoping there's still life sifting through the ashes
But I'm almost sure there's nothing left
Not even bits and pieces of the wreckage
But I can barely look away
Now I can't bare to look away
I can't bare to look away
Cause It's a long way down
But I'll enjoy the ride
And after I come crashing to the ground
I'll enjoy the climb
I still believe in what we had
Whether it was real or not doesn't seem to matter
As long as the memory remains
Then it's enough to keep me from collapsing
Underneath the pressure and the strain
And the constant thoughts that I caused this disaster
But I know I'm only half the blame
I can only take half of the blame
I'll only take half of the blame
Cause It's a long way down
But I'll enjoy the ride
And after I come crashing to the ground
I'll enjoy the climb
Can't pass the time when you're
Holding out for something that you can't have
It's only right to let it go
So let it go
Don't let it hold you back no more

Devils In Flight
03:19
|
|

Somewhere I lost
All sense of myself
Like a faceless ghost
Between Heaven and hell
Guided by the wings
of devils in flight
Misled by the words
of angels who died
Now I
I don't need
And I
I don't believe
In anything
Anymore
In anything
Anymore
I'm slowly washing away
Like coast lines fade
The tide eats me
And I'm lost at sea
As I begin to drift
I forget what I was
My memory slips
And I'm lost in the flood
Now I
I don't need
And I
I don't believe
In anything
Anymore
In anything
Anymore
