Good Grief 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Is there a place where I Can rest my head 'cause I can't keep it up I want to just unwind Tell me the best way to be using my time So much is lost on me I'm Running around in circles; were you there, or are you here and can I Blame you for the agony that stews between my ears, behind my eyes Until I shape up I ain't shipping out, good grief I'm getting Well I'm not growing any younger I can feel the weight of shadows beginning to fall Still what is lost on me is Why the deepest darkness always calls me out of silent sleep and When the morning light breaks on through to me on the other side I'll try What's the approach to approaching what I want would you tell me what I am, who I'm supposed to be Did I just not quite hear you right, or am I not listening What's the approach to approaching what I want would you tell me who I am, what I'm supposed to be Did I just not quite hear you right or am I not listening Is there a place where I Can rest my head 'cause I can't keep it up Oh I want to just unwind Show me the best way to be using my time

Losing My Mind 04:17
lyrics

Losing my mind A little at a time Someday there won't be nothing left For anyone to find I've still got eyes that see So many good things So many lovely people around me I'll keep living like I got somewhere to be Somewhere to be Places to go, people to see So much to do, so little time Can't help but feel I'm losing the daylight How did it get so late so soon I turn around, come back to you Newly awake, as another day breaks Maybe today I will do this right 'Cause it's awful hard to fake Left foot in front of the right Always ready for a fight I'm breathing in, only time will tell That everything's okay by the time I exhale Somewhere to be Places to go, people to see So much to do, so little time Can't help but feel I'm losing the daylight How did it get so late so soon I turn around, come back to you C'est la vie Another day has come and gone And as it leaves I can start to feel the calm I'm home again Everything washing away My love you make Me able to face another day So much to do, so little time Can't help but feel I'm losing the daylight How did it get so late so soon I turn around, come back to you So much to do, so little time Can't help but feel I'm losing the daylight How did it get so late so soon I turn around, come back to you

Walk Off the Earth 03:48
lyrics
buy track
Where the rubber meets the road They don't meet up there no more Left my motor car sitting silent in the desert Set a flame, tossed my last dollar to the fire Walking slow though my spirit's high What I'm looking for I'll find Oh to be free of the constant city bustle Price to pay, is just loneliness; I'll be fine Loneliness is something I have felt 'round you before Who knew about this, if you get yourself away less feels like more Home is where the heart follows Underneath such heavy snow Northern country chills me right down to my center And my mind becomes less crowded by the mile Sunshine changing day by day Brand new morning light will show me the way I think one day I'll walk right off of the earth Loneliness is something I have felt 'round you before Who knew about this, if you get yourself away less feels like more

Another Day 03:53
lyrics
buy track
So I couldn't tell you too many times to get up and go But then when you did I didn't know how to smile and send you on your way Now you're off and I don't know if you've even made it out of the woods But I taught you the things my father taught me when life was looking me hard in the face He said to be led By your heart, not your head And to move even when there's no moon Whether you struggle, or you're feeling strong Pray for another day When you start, and you'll start alone tame your mind and keep your heart slow Yeah you'll feel the woes of life flow into your soul and make you want to run for the hills Remember your name Refrain from the game that is jumping the gun Take each step with the kind of cautious love a father might have for his son He said to be led By your heart, not your head And to move even when there's no moon Whether you struggle, or you're feeling strong Pray for another day Well I once knew this kind of love I pass onto you beloved son Well I once knew this kind of love I pass onto you beloved son Take today as a gift from above And at night pray for yet another one He said to be led By your heart, not your head And to move even when there's no moon Whether you struggle, or you're feeling strong Pray for another day He said to be led By your heart, not your head And to move even when there's no moon Whether you struggle, or you're feeling strong Pray for another day

Get Gone 05:41
lyrics
buy track
It's someplace different that I'm trying to get to And I've been trying for awhile and every time you Leave me high and dry, I can't be lost, I can't be found There's no one left here not a soul has made a sound Who knows how long How long must this go on Voices calling me to go and just get gone But every time I hear them I just keep on walking Watch your tone when you speak to me that way If I ever do leave I hope when I go you choose to stay Will you be there to tempt will you be there to torture me like hell It can be hard to find peace when you're at war with yourself Who knows how long How long must this go on Voices calling me to go and just get gone But every time I hear them I just keep on walking My mind is an open book and too often an easy read Flip through the pages, you'll find roots sewn by a seed Planted by my own hand it grows a catastrophic symphony Churning through this water hole is my soul, it fights to breath Who knows how long How long must this go on Voices calling me to go and just get gone But every time I hear them I just keep on walking

About My Time Here 05:28
lyrics
buy track
Sort my emotions from the oceans of oblivion Dig deep they sneer, but I fear I may not return here Once I dive the night is alive and around me as the lighthouse beam fades from my sight Hovering atop the surface, I leave everything behind What is it really that I even have left to leave behind Start thinking we're too far gone; sinking like a stone Retreat this fleet of one I'm alone, on my own, out of control Drifting, sinking, drowning, I ain't ever coming home What is it about my time here that I can't seem to steer clear of conflict and pain With nothing to gain but experience Live and learn and concern yourself with meaning What are we living for, shouldn't be a question anymore How I wish to be swallowed up by a big old fish take me far from this place I'm in And spit me up on a shore and from here I'll explore this world furthermore In a certain way I can only convey in a poem, wild and free but alone and on my own I am sinking like a stone, sinking like a stone What is it about my time here that I can't seem to steer clear of conflict and pain With nothing to gain but experience Live and learn and concern yourself with meaning What are we living for, shouldn't be a question anymore So why is it

Outside My Window 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Outside my window there's a place that isn't here I tried to go there once, barely got the taste before the fear Was set into motion, a ringing in my ear Sense of the mystery that ran straight down my spine so grab my wheel and steer 'Cause I'm not in control no more, just along for the ride Don't know what to do right now but I can't go back inside I would have liked to read about the world from deep inside my home A book that paints the leaves from words inside a poem Or maybe just glance outside, notice colors have grown Atop every flower stem, every bird that sings a song, and I can hum along From inside my comfort zone, this is where I stay All of the mysteries can be way out there a safe distance away I may never go back to sleeping indoors I may never go back to sleep I may never go back to sleeping indoors I may never go back to sleep Maybe just glance around, notice colors have grown Atop every flower stem, every bird that sings a song, and I can hum along Outside my comfort zone, I think I ought to stay All of the mysteries that I find out here will keep me far away

Smooth Talkin' 05:40
lyrics
buy track
Smooth talking your way through the evening Lose track of the time, oh my, with good reason To resist, growing reaches of early day, peaking through the window Find reasons to be around a little longer Love, keep me moving through the night, thoughts grow fonder So remiss growing reaches of early day, peaking through the window Wide awake, the day is coming around the bend Like the faint, shimery voices in my head I wish I knew what was stoking up this fire They're closing in, the light burns brighter Whispers becoming shouts, I can see so clearly now I can see so clearly now that I been Left alone in this empty house Shape shifting again, turn into another Kind, of social state of mind, lightning and thunder Where they will hit, I don't know but I think they will show Peaking through the window Oh Lord only knows why I'm living life so Carelessly, free of looming remorse In the cover of night so that's why I resist Early reaches of early day peaking through my window Wide awake, the day is coming around the bend Like the faint, shimery voices in my head I wish I knew what was stoking up this fire They're closing in, the light burns brighter Whispers becoming shouts, I can see so clearly now I can see so clearly now that I been Left alone in this empty house I can see so clearly now that I been Left alone in this empty house Wide awake, the day is coming around the bend Like the faint, shimery voices in my head I wish I knew what was stoking up this fire They're closing in, the light burns brighter Whispers becoming shouts, I can see so clearly now I can see so clearly now that I been Left alone in this empty house I can see so clearly now that I been Left alone in this empty house Smooth talking your way through the evening Lose track of the time, oh my, with good reason

Favorite Places 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Weather, when will it be warm again I like to chase the sun to find its favorite places Mine are lost out in the snow Don't think I'll ever really know where to go It's an awful long walk to the next city It's been far too long since I've seen your pretty face Though my feet are tired, well my thoughts are able They'll carry me on my way even when those skies start turning gray Weather, when will it be warm again I like to chase the sun to find its favorite places Mine are lost out in the snow Don't think I'll ever really know where to go I can't see no light, no moon tonight I'm riding blind I feel the breeze is almost pushing me towards what I'm trying to find The morning sun; will it ever come back once again My thoughts are every place but here so far away, but awful clear Weather, when will it be warm again I like to chase the sun to find its favorite places Mine are lost out in the snow Don't think I'll ever really know where to Weather, when will it be warm again I like to chase the sun to find its favorite places Mine are lost out in the snow Don't think I'll ever really know where to go
