Peace 04:08
lyrics
buy track
In this war we fight There’s so much we will lose Just give me peace tonight There’s so much we have won And so much wrong we’ve done Just give me peace tonight We can blame each other We can blame ourselves As our own history tells If this battle’s right May we shed some light On the way to peace tonight On the way to peace tonight On the way to peace tonight On the way to peace tonight May we find our sight May doves take flight And if winning proves Another mountain moves Just give me peace tonight And if skies ignite Stars still burn bright Above unnatural light We can blame each other We can blame ourselves As our own history tells If this battle’s right May we shed some light On the way to peace tonight On the way to peace tonight On the way to peace tonight On the way to peace tonight On the way to peace tonight On the way to peace tonight On the way to peace tonight May we find our sight May doves take flight

Reason to Live 04:24
lyrics
buy track
What I need right now Is to hear the right sound And my reason to live Might be something I’ve found It takes time To heal inside When my wounds are down deep In a place I’d rather hide Gotta swallow my pride And find something to give We’re tested and wronged So we can learn to forgive Even the sorriest souls Got a reason to live It’s mostly the lost Who find direction to give When my heart and everything I hold close is gone When I’ve never fallen I’ve never fallen so hard Everyone has a reason to live Even though I don’t seem to have one right now Everyone has a reason to live Oh, I don’t seem to have one right now I don’t seem to have one right now But maybe sharing a song Is enough reason to live

Rebirth 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Standing at the bottom of a hill I rolled back down to the bottom Of that hill I climbed It was fun going down Laughing like a kid A blur of grass and adrenaline Not thinking about the pain Or the work of climbing back up There’s nothing more I can do right now Than to start again Put my feet Against the steep rising earth Where bone and muscle Reveal their true worth I’ll put them to work Hoping for some kind of rebirth Some kind of rebirth (Rebirth... Rebirth... Rebirth) (Whoah, yeah) I’m at the top of the hill Nothing more I’d rather do Right now than to roll back down It’s fun rolling down Laughing like a kid A blur of sky and adrenaline Not thinking about the pain Or the work of climbing back up There’s nothing more I can do right now Than to start again Dig down deep Into the salt of the earth Releasing demons For whatever that’s worth I’ll go back to work Hoping for some kind of rebirth Some kind of rebirth (Rebirth... Rebirth... Rebirth)

Here In Me 04:22
lyrics

The streetlight flickers on It burns for me The earth is cold where you sleep But you’re still warming me You’re still warming me I don’t know where you are But you live here in me You live here in me You live here in me You live here in me Thoughts are littered at my feet Ghosted dreams I’ll never meet Rounded stones on torn up streets Whispers blowin’ in the wind Some are bitter some are sweet Ooh, not forgotten Mmm, but not complete Not complete I don’t know if you can hear Are you listening Your breath is frozen like the wind But you still breathe in me You still breathe in me I don’t know where you are But you live here in me You live here in me You still move in me You live here in me Conversations with a stone The most profound I’ve ever known It doesn’t feel like I’m alone When time whittles me to bone And memories are all I own I’ll slip into I’ll slip into The great unknown The great unknown The streetlight flickers off But you still burn in me You still burn in me

Boxes 03:33
lyrics
buy track
Don’t we learn To put ourselves in boxes With the dreams we hope Will set us free? Don’t we label all our hopes And our dreams With the plans of who We’d like to be? We can search for years The whole world over While enduring The daily grind But when all we can see Are boxes Our true selves Are locked inside And a true love Is hard to find Don’t we learn To put each other in boxes With the labels stuck Inside our minds? We find doctors and bakers And candlestick makers And repairmen of every kind We can search for years The whole world over While looking past Everyone we meet But when all we can see Are boxes A true friend Is left behind And a true love Is hard to find What’s the point In measuring our boxes And comparing one To the next? When we open up And look inside At being ourselves We’re all the best At being ourselves We’re all the best

You're No Good for Me 03:23
lyrics

The curtain rises, you take the stage I’m there with you, but the script is all yours You own every page, and you write this play You pull my strings, and I dance for you I move for you like a marionette I will never forget being drunk On your perfume and cheap cigarettes You’re no good for me Oh, you’re no good for me You’re no good for me I want more You’re my Samson Delilah My world is on fire Skakespearean drama I’ll never forget Sometimes you play Romeo Sometimes Juliet You’re no good for me Oh, you’re no good for me You’re no good for me I want more Can’t get enough of you You’ll be the death of me The curtain closes, you leave the stage The spotlight goes out, but the script is still yours You own every page, and you write this play You cloud my mind with your snake oil and wine Like a bad premonition My ignored intuition It’s your mystery and mastery It’s your comedy and your tragedy You’re no good for me Oh, you’re no good for me You’re no good for me I want more You’re my nuclear fission, my believed superstition It’s the way you control and relieve my frustrations The stronger your power, the weaker I get You’re no good for me Oh, you’re no good for me You’re no good for me, no good for me You’re no good for me You’re no good for me You’re no good for me You’re no good for me I want more

I don’t know if I will ever See home again It’s broken down And I am weary I could drive home in the morning And never see nothin’ Nothin’ that’s not already burned Inside my mind Please send an angel To fly me home Just close enough to thread a needle Please send an angel to fly me home Help me repair the damage That keeps me awake Keeps me awake at night Impossibilities will never Never let me know If I will ever find a way around them I could do my time worryin’ And never change nothin’ This gravity pulls and weighs me down Please send an angel To fly me home Maybe we can talk through the window Please send an angel To fly me home Help me reapair the damage That keeps me awake Keeps me awake at night Oh, please send an angel Please send an angel To fly me home Maybe we can talk through the window Please send an angel To fly me home Help me repair the damage And fly me away Fly me away Please send an angel Please send an angel Ooh, fly me away

Andy Warhol Doodle 02:55

You remind me of a doodle An Andy Warhol doodle One minute you’re blue as your eyes And the next you’re tickled pink Your red lips tell me no But your eyes are flashing green If one minute you’re Marilyn And the next you’re Norma Jean Will you still wanna kiss me In the morning? Kiss me in the morning Will you still wanna kiss me, yeah? If one minute you’re Marilyn And the next you’re Norma Jean Will you still wanna kiss me In the morning? Kiss me in the morning You remind me of a doodle An Andy Warhol doodle One minute you’re yellow sunshine The next you fade to night One minute you’re painted black And the next you’re veiled in white If one minute you’re Marilyn And the next you’re Norma Jean Will you still wanna kiss me In the morning? Kiss me in the morning Will you still wanna kiss me, yeah? If one minute you’re Marilyn And the next you’re Norma Jean Will you still wanna kiss me In the morning? Kiss me in the morning Will you still wanna kiss me, yeah? If one minute you’re Marilyn And the next you’re Norma Jean Will you still wanna kiss me In the morning? Kiss me in the morning

Day of Reckoning 04:03
lyrics
buy track
Do you remember The things you said to me To justify The way you treated me? It wasn’t based in truth I saw right through your reasons For cutting me down You were trying to save yourself The pain of the day The day of reckoning But I forgive you Can you forgive yourself? Can you forgive yourself? And I remember The way your ocean pulled me Into the depths The way I wept inside But I didn’t show you I kept it to myself I saw right through your reasons You were trying to save yourself The pain of the day The day of reckoning But I forgive you Can you forgive yourself? Can you forgive yourself? Can you forgive yourself? Can you forgive yourself? The day of reckoning Day of reckoning The day of reckoning Belongs to you

Freed 03:27
lyrics

On a rainy day You can take a brush And paint the sun in my sky You can cut the moon Out of paper And brighten up my darkest night And the stars in my dreams Are the twinkles in Your smilin’ eyes And the high I feel right now Is from the clouds You gathered from above And drew below my feet You lift me off my feet You have my purest love And that’s guaranteed You have my heart sewn up It’s like I’ve been freed, freed, freed I have been freed, freed freed, freed, freed I have been freed I have been freed On a sunny day You can comfort me like a pillow Cool my face You can lead my soul to the fountain And show me how to take a drink And I swear you can do a dance And convince the clouds to make it rain And the high I feel right now Is from the clouds You gathered from above And drew below my feet You lift me off my feet You have my purest love And that’s guaranteed You have my heart sewn up It’s like I’ve been freed, freed, freed I have been freed Freed, freed, freed I have been freed I have been freed I have been freed I have been freed

Way Back to Serenity 04:26

Serenity is the train That lets me leave my troubles behind Serenity, when life gets crazy There’s no need to worry There’s always a way back Mmm, a way back to serenity Serenity is the forgotten word On the tip of your tongue You just need to remember it And let it slip out And breathe it in Serenity, let it slip out And breathe it in Breathe it in Serenity is the river That carries me to another place Serenity is a mountain trail There’s always another one There’s always a way back Mmm, a way back to serenity Serenity is always here Even if you lost it Mmm, it’s a balloon on a string Let it go Let it fly into the air Into the air Serenity, it’s like a train Serenity Serenity trail There’s always a way back To serenity

Flood 04:49
lyrics

It’s the day of the flood It’s at my front door It’s out for blood It’s looking like war I climb to the ceiling But it falls to the floor The thing about floods And all the rushing water coming in They always want more But I’m all good I can’t complain Everyone I love They made it through the rain Think of all the ones Who got caught in the flood Who got swept away The one that I love The one that I love I’m looking above The one that I love Made it through the rain Made it through the rain The world blooms anew Everything is green I see more colors than I’d ever dreamed And my neighbor She offers hello And I realize I’d never heard her voice Before the rushing water of the flood But I’m all good I start anew And everyone I love They all made it through Think of all the ones Who got caught in the flood Who got swept away The one that I love The one that I love The one that I love The one that I love Made it through the rain Made it through the rain Made it through the rain Made it through the rain
