Tattoos, Blues & Nothing Left to Lose 02:13
lyrics

Tattoos, Blues & Nothing Left To Lose Kill the lights and lock the doors cause i ain't coming round here no more, no more Had my fill of fights and feuds lord knows I've paid my dues in blood i’ve had enough Shake the dust off my boots Got my Tattoos and blues and nothing left to lose It’s time to move on On the road less travelled, heart filled with wanderlust trusting in the unknown So far from my home Filled with wonder, filled with glee so happy to be far from the old me and all my sins There’s time to start again There’s still time to make amends

Hardest Person to Forgive 03:16
lyrics
buy track
Hardest Person To Forgive I’ve been running from these demons that have chased me to this day. I’ve been hiding from these ghosts that haunt me still. I don’t know why, I just don’t know why, I stick around. Maybe there’s a part of me that finds it hard to be free. I'm searching for redemption, a way to unlock these chains. The key is lost somewhere inside this chest full of pain. I don't know why, I just don't know why, I can't break free. Maybe there’s a part of me that finds it hard to be free Scars upon my soul remind me of all my wasted yesterdays. Through these trials and tribulations, I have fought to find my way. I don't know why, I just don't know why, I hold on tight. Maybe there's a part of me that's afraid to be set free. In the depths of my reflection, I see strength arise. Though the path may be uncertain, I'll reach up to the skies. Maybe there's a part of me that's learning to believe, I'm stronger than I know. I'll finally find the freedom to let go.

My Heart Is A Hurricane 03:36
lyrics

My Heart Is A Hurricane I don’t want to fall in love anymore Cause everything I love is destroyed Before my eyes And I don't want to say another word Cause every word I speak is swept up from the earth And sent miles and miles away Ooh My heart Ooh My heart is a hurricane Filled with fury, filled with pain My heart is a hurricane hurricane Please don't ask me to hold your heart Cause when the storm comes it will just be ripped apart My heart is a hurricane Filled with fury filled with pain My heart is a hurricane A hurricane A storm's gonna come A storm's gonna come A storm's gonna come And I don’t want to fall in love

Happier Songs I told you I loved you And you just laughed in my face And I told you I’d never leave you So you disappeared without a trace How could something that feels alright Go oh so terribly wrong Sometimes I wish I wrote happier songs I told you I believed in the truth But it didn’t stop you from lying And I told you I couldn’t live without you girl But it didn’t stop you from dying How could something that feels alright Go oh so terribly wrong Sometimes I wish I wrote happier songs Well life it gets in the way Costs more when you love someone Who makes you pay big for ever little Microscopic Itty bitty Miniscule Mistake How could something that feels alright Go oh so terribly wrong Sometimes I wish I wrote happier songs

Beneath the Old Pines 02:54
lyrics

Beneath The Old Pines He dug up his heart at the end of winter From up beneath the old pines He dug up his heart at the end of winter For he felt it was the right time To fall in love He searched for true love in spring He searched the world far and wide He searched for true love in first spring But there was none he could find none he could find Summer lust is fleeting He thought he had found the one Summer lust is fleeting Like a bullet from a gun Like a bullet from a gun In the fall he found his shovel And went out to the old pines In the fall he found his shovel Coz he knew there was never a right time To fall in love To fall in love Never To fall in love

Stolen Car 04:16
lyrics

Stolen Car barely recognise your voice Over the phone, Wishing I was set free, To take care of our home, Lord tell me how the hell did I lose my way? Stuck in this cage At least for twenty nine more days I'm abandoned like a stolen car burning out like a shoot star Hating it here without you raging like a storm at sea broken like a damn levee Hating it here without you barely remember your beautiful face Like an old photograph, it just fades away Everyday I wished I had stayed poor decisions made just to get paid Lord tell me how the hell did I lose my way? easy money easily comes undone

Free Your Own Zoo 02:42
lyrics

Free Your Own Zoo Wake up and find your world is brand new Storms have passed and you learn a truth Sun is shining and the flowers in bloom Sometimes the only way out is to go through Storms they come and rattle your bones And you feel like your on your own Be still and know you’re not alone You’re not alone Take up your pen and write something new The page is blank so it’s time to pursue All these thoughts jump around like kangaroos Sometimes you just gotta free your own zoo Thoughts they come and battle your heart And you feel like you’re torn apart Be still and know you’re a light in the dark So shine on Wake up your heart Take up your pen Shake up your soul It’s time to start again start again

Sweet Embrace 02:55
lyrics

Sweet Embrace Oh how I miss you, let me count the ways. Yeah it’s been too many days. Oh how your fire kept me warm. When I felt I could not go on. And your smile could captivate a room. Like an arrow piercing my heart right through. Oh how I miss your sweet embrace. More amazing than God's good grace. It was something i could feel, something real, at least for a little while. I miss your damn smile. Your laughter was a torch that shined so bright. It led me out of my cave and into your light. You taught me that life was worth living. And that my reflection was worth forgiving. Oh how I miss your sweet embrace. More amazing than God's good grace. It was something I could feel, something real, at least for a little while. I miss your damn smile. Oh how I miss you, I wish that i could still kiss you, Oh I miss your goddamn beautiful smile.

Alone & Forsaken 02:32
lyrics

Alone & Forsaken We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold The pastures were green and the meadows were gold Our love was in flower as summer grew on Her love like the leaves now have withered and gone The roses have faded, there's frost at my door The birds in the morning don't sing anymore The grass in the valley is starting to die And out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry Alone and forsaken by fate and by man Oh Lord, if you hear me, please hold to my hand Oh, please understand Oh, where has she gone to? Oh, where can she be? She may have forsaken some other like me She promised to honor, to love, and obey Each vow was a plaything that she threw away The darkness is falling, the sky has turned gray A hound in the distance is starting to bey I wonder, I wonder what she's thinking of Forsaken, forgotten without any love Alone and forsaken by fate and by man Oh Lord, if you hear me, please hold to my hand Oh, please understand

Threefold Cord 03:35
lyrics
buy track
Threefold Cord Verse 1 I remember back when we were close like the hands of a prayer but now when I conjure up thoughts of you are ghosts that haunt my soul. Chorus Sometimes two can be broken as easily as one but don’t you know dear a threefold cord can not easily be broken again. And as the crow flies I will find my way back to you. Verse 2 Every flight begins with a fall, so says the crow and every love begins with a risk, so say we all.

Through Old Iron Trees 03:13
lyrics

Through Old Iron Trees Through old iron trees You whisper to me All of the secrets that I’ll ever need Beneath these lightbulb stars We forget who we are Lost within a concrete maze We’re always searching, searching for each other, like star crossed lovers. So close but yet so far, like ghosts we just don’t touch and rush to get to our old haunts. kiss me and give me your strength To fight this creeping death and fill my heart that’s only half full We’re always searching, searching for each other, like star crossed lovers. When the the curtains finally descend like autumn leaves from tree limbs Hopefully your hand is entwined in mine On our favourite park bench old wise and bent and happy we finally found each other. We’re always searching, searching for each other, like star crossed lovers. Searching low and above Always searching for true love Searching far and wide searching for my ride or die

Built to Last Some things break too easy And others wear out too soon But love like ours won't fade or rust we will see each and everyday through till the end We are built to last We are built to last We are built to last For a lifetime Some things are sold too cheaply And others not valued at all But love like ours can't be bought or sold We hold fast to a hope that's worth more than gold We are built to last Guaranteed to be with you for a lifetime

I Will Rise I will rise to meet the dawn of a new day Yesterday's sorrows are gone And tomorrow can take care of itself For I know my time here will come to pass And I know love's the only thing that lasts I will rise to meet my friends and enemies With blessings and mercy for all And my needs they will be taken care of By a god who isn’t far from my heart For i know love’s the only thing that lasts I will rise to meet my battles and tragedies With everything God has given to me With kind words and hands to help the helpless For I know my time here will come to pass And I know love's the only thing that lasts

Honey Don't Go Honey don’t you go And walk out that door Coz i need you more Than i’m able to show There’s a battle inside Between the dark and the light Not sure I can win Honey please don’t go Got my knees to the floor Coz I can’t go on With this war Tired all the time Too wired to rest There’s a pain in my chest Honey please just stay Honey please just stay Honey please stay You help me feel sane I’m gonna break these chains One of the days
