Once I was running to you But time, time, time Has got me running from you Cold canyons in the dead of night Slow shadows In the searching lights Huntin me down Midnight on the boulevard Fallin soldiers Life is hard I’m done with This town I’m born to run in circles To be found and in hiding It’s all just back and forth again Been down a million empty Streets, everyone was tempting I wrote my name against the wind I’ve found the center of night No, no, no I’ve never needed your light I got a heart that I can’t control In the dark dawn of the soul It’s wild and free Can’t tame what you cannot catch And I’ll dare you to do your best Cause your blind to me You wrote your spell in the deep Along the edge of a dream And I can’t sleep no more And I can’t fight no war I read the words you had left I’ve had enough of your breath If you won’t set me free I’ll find a way to leave Seems I’ll be runnin For life Born, I’ve been born Along the edge of this knife Keeps blood movin Through my veins Got these green eyes full of flames And they’re set on you Can’t tell if they’ll burn you down Don’t know if they’ll turn you round Their own brand of truth

Summer Came 03:40
When you’re feeling low and cold Taking sides with all you know Something new calls out to you But you slam the door shut cause you want Nothing more than left alone Desert clouds and hollow bones Halfway out you’re halfway home Every step is slowly unfolding Summer came and went again Simple things like grains of sand When the games come to an end When the youth slips through your hands Winter wounds so slow to heal When the truth has been concealed What is left to be revealed Is there nothing you can feel Did you come too far too fast Don’t forget the name you had You’re tethered to a crippled past It’s like a cast, it’s holding you back It didn’t kill but wore you down Born still but still around New skin on stable ground Stronger than the chains that have bound you

Goin' Home 03:53
Red brick buildings Old train tracks Get that feeling Bring it back Holland tunnel By smoke stacks Ramble on and Cut some slack Going home Coming back Just don’t know how long It’s been some years Worn down some soles And sung so many songs Know these footsteps Met before Got no key but Old screen door To yesterdays And lemonade I had some doubts But had it made On this side street Hiding out Headed home Somewhere south Down this river Past this lake At this red light Cannot wait

I feel them coming Coming after me No sense in running Never get free It’s time to face up Pay the toll at hand It’s time to wake up They make it hard For an honest man It’s a long time coming Fumbling down this road In these urban wilds Only shoulders cold There are debt collectors Weighing out my worth What you called a blessing Is cruel and closer to a curse I’ve paid my dues And I’ve paid you too And I will break through Your wicked wall Where’s the ebb and flow This much I know There’s nowhere left to go Before the fall Should have never came here Should have never left Gonna lay my blame here Gonna own your breath I don’t want to fight you But I’m not one to fold I don’t need this night to Bear down on my soul Too late for forgiveness Wish we never crossed A world where I don’t know you And I don’t owe you Count it as a loss

Call Me 03:56
Honey heartbeat enemy Call me and I’ll come running Nameless and strained memories Call me and I’ll come running I die inside you Born again Starving wind Release me Thirsty thoughts And trashcan gems Nothing left To teach you Stumble on Through vacant dawn Beyond the Bleak horizon Walking under Iron drums Humming, Running, Rising Ink on shirts Until it hurts Clouds are quickly Coming Wrapped around My memory Haunting, storming, stunning Stuck in places Far from reach One coastline To another But hum the same Lost melodies To ease it When we suffer Curse the cures The quickest fix The temporary nothing Silence slithers lashes Slips away And leaves a wanting The hole you fill The dark you kill Your ghost is still alluring Runing twisting Faint and whistling And calling with such fury
6.
If You 03:31
If you find a way to do All those things you wanted to Will you tell me how to try Try to follow through this time When you finally catch a break In the waters that you wade Will you remember all your friends Pathways all to different ends You had plans large as the sky You reached further than my eyes I wish I could start it all again Find my place Finally make amends How can I bait you back home Simple things you used to know Empty without your laugh around Just don’t feel like the same town
7.
Next To Know 04:30
Lord I keep coming back for air Kick against the gates of dawn With flooded lungs I saw you standing there You’ve been a witness For all my petty crimes You try to look the other way But every single time I catch your eye I’ve been trying To cast my line and do what’s right Take a guess and choose a side It ain’t my fault they never made a guide Been a burden I know cause I’ve had my share Been a stray that lost his way Swaying in the winds of no one cares And I get sick of sickness too In spite of all the things you do to save me Always know the price you pay Is steeper now than it was yesterday I’ve been drowning in my mind See the hill I’ve yet to climb Surfacing and it reminds me I thought I better let you know I been confused through all of this Throwing clues and catching fists Questions and I got a list I need to be the next to know So regardless Where we go get intertwined Bound in blood, in love, through flood If I get lost I know you’re gonna find So the details When all is said and done No ordinary obituary’s Gonna capture all we did around the sun

Has it been that long That song of silence Hits so strong black cup of coffee Wake my veins And put this pain off for a day My battery’s been drained Things that you used to say refrain You were a stranger till you strayed Into the fray I called your name It echoes outwards past the graves And through the canyons til it quakes And bends the sky until it breaks Just like the heart I tried to save Scars are hard to heal Hard to bear and to conceal And it’s too late to say you feel Unless it’s real but I can’t wait Honey shake my soul Just like a seizure I believe in non believers I have needs, but at your leisure Take your time Decisions hard as hell To choose correctly When your visions will reject the Things you love and don’t possess We made our minds As certain as skyscrapers Quaking earth will make them waiver You’re the last breath that I savored Saved yourself left me behind Submerged in all this nothing I’ll be searching For that something Through the ever For the one thing But won’t make it out alive And I don’t know no more No wars are worth this Casualties They serve no purpose Sitting stranded panicked Nervous through the fight Under pale sky Burning down my retinas Heaven’s not here To protect us I’ve seen God’s cold hand Neglect us in the night So all I need’s my heart To beat the right one Beat them down Before the light comes Creeping cross The brave horizon Brand new day And I will watch this red sun Rise from prison Keeping my thoughts Locked and hidden Til somebody Shares my vision I’ll just say Please Come on please Hear my needs And believe Somewhere that we...

She has god burning eyes Ruby dawn fasting thighs Unaware of the weight That she wears everyday When she speaks, speaks like a cat Simple sentence thunderclap Drop of rain ripples out Morning whispers evening shouts She keeps to herself She won’t take on any help Though the world would come runnin If she admitted she needed something Crippled car for a heart Full tank yet to start Not an artist but she’s art Now she’s gone and it’s god damned hard I’ll wish for you always But I know what that means Framed in our lost hallways Crooked corridors of dreams You bring forward back Bring it back to me You were as much mine As could never be Run free once again Turn round on a dime Branded by your eyes Burning coals and iron On the deep edge of night All you see is her eyes She brings balance down below Balance you could never find Breaks the ground where you stand Holds your heart in her hand Calls your bluff every round Want to fold but you can’t

Seattle 03:45
Drove far as Seattle To settle your shadow Still question my battles And what’s worth the trying Soul bare as my tires Worn wires are fraying Court what final fire Still flames at the days end Sirens my rearview Stress my heart beating Decisions are mocking Second chances too fleeting Cobblestone vibrations Shake my head aching Caught up in your orbit See no signs of escaping Yeah, I’m scared of death just like the rest I fear alone and broken hearted Scared of you, of truce and truth And how this all got started I’m stitched in your time Etched on your mind, in the veins of your hand That’s why we fail as we try Frail as the lines that we drew in the sand I need you to stand Come to me this evening What’s left for the losing Where’s the point in leaving I see no harm in your choosing One way or another Symmetry in hiding Got secrets in closets I see your skeletons rising
11.
Gotta a little truth left As it all filters through Was it something I said Wasn’t aimed at you My arrows in storage My bows bent til broke Maybe you misheard me Maybe I misspoke Gonna try for the win now Gonna get this one right Gonna to take one last spin now Kiss the city goodnight All the lights never ending Not a star in the sky If this time’s not for spending Then I’d be surprised So will I ever escape you Or will I ever try It’s not as simple as driving And never arriving At your border line And all of these questions All these roads with no map I’ll do my best guessing Put it all up to chance

Last Letter 01:13

Thoughts 05:24
Thoughts Break up in the wind Some begin again Some get lost deep in the cracks of time Words Hollow heavy weight Food for empty plates Meaning for a fleeting peace of mind Breath I guess it has its reasons though I’m really needing something else Somewhere that I don’t believe in between where we stood and where we fell It’s just as well we sink in silent shadow surface at a better time Though I’ll always miss that fleeting instant when I thought that you were mine Sides Don’t know which to take That’s the grand debate Options not an option offered up Drink Toast up to a truth Sip some for your youth Do not contemplate what’s in the cup Wish Wait for common sense Wait for consequence To fall upon the shoulders down the course Hope Pray if that’s your way Soak in sun and say Shine a ray and show the hidden source
