Here (free) 04:18
lyrics
download
My God it's come to this A wrestle with remarks With whiskey on my breath Are the blinders finely gone Are the flood gates open Are you The last one left a mark A rare reminder Bold and cold in the same breath Is this a test And I'm failing it Are you here Or have you left

Endrun (free) 04:29
lyrics
download
You wear your heart on your sleeve Not a badge of honor as it could be But something you can hardly even see You wear your heart on your sleeve For all the paper cuts I've seen It's yours that I believe You've got the sweetest disease I should learn to pray your god Learn to read the leaves See the openings Where there's none Make the end run You said the sea was turning You told me quit my evil ways You said the sea was tuning You told me quit my evil ways Or with the fishes make my bed and lay Someday, someday sunshine I should learn to pray your god Learn to read the leaves see the openinings. Where there's none Make the end run

Murky Muddy (free) 03:25
lyrics
download
In the murky muddy wasteland There's a whole lot of thinking going on New ways to take your cues It's a bear trap In the quicksand It's your fiance with one ear closely pressed to your every tune And we'll all look out for you We'll all look out for everyone And you In the murky muddy wasteland There's a good thing and she waits for you And she'll lull you fast asleep in her pillowy arms And she'll keep you wide awake with her pillowy charms And when slumping on your bar stool Make sure your head's closely aligned with the bar in front of you And we'll all look out for you We'll all look out for everyone And you

Time to Sleep (free) 03:25
lyrics
download
Maybe I 
 Should have been there
 Or stayed a bit longer
 While the wind Quaked the trees
 By the lake And with no end in site
 I took a look into your eyes
 They were dark 
 And as heavy as a stone
 So maybe I should just leave you alone I’m so sorry
 My mind and body
 A deep dark and crazy
 Time to sleep
 At the time It felt right Everything just fit so nice We watched the wind 
 
 Quake the trees 
 
 By the lake
 And with my arms open wide
 
 I brushed you hair to the side
 Kissed you neck 
 
 Then your ears
 Then your eyes
 And I'm not sorry They got plans
 
I’m not kidding
 They are cunning 
 and so witty
 Just watch the News
 
 Or turn on any screen
 

 From a boat 
 
 Or by land
 In the swift desert sand
 
 
 Swooping in to grab what they can
 
 Just take a look at what they did to Japan I’m so sorry
 My mind is haunting
 A deep dark and hazy
 Time to sleep

Feather and the Stone (free) 04:26
lyrics
download
Watch the water It’s like a sweet cascade See you are like the foam Washing on the stone Stirring up in me A swirling melody It's something that I can hardly sing And to the breeze that blows and tussles up your hair It’s just a quick reminder that The wind is always there To take you in his arms To wisk your cares away To blow my memory from your mind In hopes that you will stay And as you rise and fall the skies while I’m stuck here at home Don’t forget us The Feather and the Stone

Ripples (free) 05:07
lyrics
download
I'll watch your eyes You watch the sunset The two horizons that do free me As I lose a little every-time And it's like that every night you take me home Watch the ripples growing outward from to stone Can't eat or sleep these days for dreaming The blooming light that rises eastward I gave you strength you gave me time Had to take it Couldn't leave it I had to go Watch the Ripples growing out turn to stone I'll watch your eyes you watch the sunset The two horizons that do free me And it's like that every night you take me home Watch the ripples growing outward from the stone

Hawks (free) 03:10
lyrics
download
Whos side are we really on The fox or the razor wire The hawks or the cages Frozen in a stage Brave the harsh winters Basked in the summers Raised up the cities Raised up ourselves That's the part we loved That's what we call living That's the part we loved
8.
Soak'd (free) 04:21
lyrics
download
You feel like giving up The sky is black with arrows Everybody wants the thrills But too afraid to let go Keep your troubles down Swimming in the shallows Me, my jeans are soaked From riding on the rainbows Find the reverie Dress it up in plain clothes Everybody wants the thrills All standing on their shoulders Bring your body close When the sky is black with arrows Until your jeans are soaked From riding on the rainbows Say it like it’s wrote And elevated something Filling up your throat The wind into your sailboat Will it be a thrill? Time to kill Will your jeans are soaked From riding on the rainbows

Joline (free) 02:47
lyrics
download
Joline sits in fields of helicopters
 On a mountainside of odd opinions
 Never to want the things I need
 Only to wade in awe
 Too deep into the sea 
 Of all that it could be
Is a dream is a dream Joline says the fuzz is all around her
 Hiding in the trees and underneath the flowers
 Never to tie her freedom feet
 Only to try And we’ll laugh until we bleed 
 From the love that we receive
 From the birds and from the bees
 Is a dream is a dream

Foxgloves (free) 02:43
lyrics
download
Pocket full of papers don't you want to have it all All the same sad horses that are made up In the mind of the many who settle to the sound Of the rising tower up from the burning ground Don't it make you want to blow it down Don't it make you want to shed your skin And just give in We'll open up less as we get on We'll fall asleep running out of things to say No more climb trees no more free fall Just run with the many and make our way Don't it make you want to shed your skin Don't it make you want to bite your tongue Took years to get it wrong
