So we’re back to where we started
Slow dancing in the garden
Underneath the stars, just hoping in our hearts
Maybe we’ll get it right this time
A feeling I can’t explain it
At least I think it’s complicated
Saw the black clouds, heard the distant sounds, encroaching thunder
Yes, I know our days are numbered
And we’re not getting any younger
In and out of focus
(silence unspoken)
If only for a moment
(stillness in motion)
Take note of the unnoticed
Just to let go of the motive
Stop and smell the roses
As long as there’s life in my lungs,
I can’t seem to separate you from the air I breathe
Spoke the sounds just to find out what it really means
This is everything, this is nothing, this is something in between
Wake up, my love, rise with the sun
Seeking the missing pieces of
All that once was, what’s yet to come
I know there must be a reason
Some objective truth…
Some semblance of hope or at least something to hold on to
Wake Up, My Love
I will fight the fear when that creature comes
Feasting on our bones and blood
There’s stardust, inside us
We are echoes of the shadows where it all comes from
Ghosts of what we’ll become
This is everything there ever was

Feels we’re going nowhere
Searching, never knowing
Spinning right back to the place we started
Oh, well if the spirit moves you
Spitfire, shake, shiver, voodoo
Shooting stars like dreams departed
You’ve been following your heart just to disregard it
Flashback, now the last thing that you said
Suddenly seems the most important
Rearrange your words like puzzle pieces in my head
Grow up, trade age for wisdom
Replace love with cynicism
Like staring down the barrel of a loaded pistol
Saying pain is fickle, this will only hurt a little
I’ve been dreaming bout you, will the morning ever come?
Fantasizing where the feeling frequents
Don’t you know you’re always on my mind?
I’ve been dreaming bout you, will the morning ever come?
Fantasizing where the feeling frequents
Don’t you know you’re always on my mind
Gasoline to the spark, dream I wake up in your arms
Never mind when we break we fall apart
In matters of the heart old habits die hard
Temptation to exercise my demons
Memories of you now sweet as peaches
Replaying in my head like a voice of reason
“Don’t throw this all away for one moment of weakness”
Always giving up, never give enough
Give you all my love, never give enough
An eye for an eye will only leave you broken hearted
Ashes to ashes, they say dust to dust
Till the sun burns out, till the stars combust
I’m going to give you all my love, unconditional
Live in your love, irresistible
Lovesick, Lovechild,
Lovesick, Lovechild,
Don’t you know you’re always on my mind?
(Fight the feeling, Fight the feeling, Fight the feeling, Fight the feeling)
You don’t know what you’re missing
(I’ve been dreaming bout you will the morning ever come)
Been wishing on a wish
(Fantasizing where the feeling frequents)
You don’t know what you’re missing
(Gasoline to the spark, dream I wake up in your arms)
Been wishing on a wish
(In matters of the heart old habits die hard)

Close the blinds, and lock the door
You’re not welcome anymore
Life is brief, and talk is cheap
But it’s more than we can afford
You say we’re wasting away our youth
I say we could all use a little time
Your mouth was asking for the truth,
Your eyes were begging for a lie
Nothing’s lost, but something’s missing
Just an endless well to keep you wishing
Try, I try, but I can’t make sense of it
Held it to the light to find, I’m just another color in your prism
I fear there’s a sickness in my head
There’s a body in my bed
A set of eyes in the window’s reflection
But I don’t recognize them
Try and fight it
I can’t shake the shape of your tongue from my lips
Fractures in the feelings feasting
Keeping time, when nothing is now as it once was
What’s left to lose?
It feels we’re going backwards
Blue skies and greener pastures
It seems we’re chasing after
Something that can’t be captured
I think I’d rather like to believe
We’re all just lost and lonesome
Seeking our missing pieces, incomplete
So beautifully broken
Nothing’s lost but something’s missing
Just an endless well to keep you wishing
Try, I try, but I can’t make any sense of it
Held it to the light to find, I’m just another color in your prism

Our time here is brief and our bodies all borrowed
Fleeting dream, here today and gone tomorrow
Don’t mistake the time it takes
A heart to bend before it breaks
Your love endures like a passing wave
It comes and goes but never stays
Wanderlust, this modern love,
Too hot to hold, never know what you’ve got
Till the flame runs cold, till it’s gone
And when you’re gone, thirst that taste that sinister sensation
Sweet euphoria, I fear only for these beasts we’ve become
Now we’re talking in circles, speaking in tongues
Tear the stitch from the seam, till it all comes undone
Make the meaning misconstrued
Seeking only for the truth
Don’t mistake the time it takes
A heart to bend before it breaks
Your love endures like a passing wave
It comes and goes but never stays
Wanderlust, this modern love,
Too hot to hold, never know what you’ve got
Till the flame runs cold, till it’s gone
And when you’re gone, thirst that taste that sinister sensation
Sweet euphoria, I fear only for these beasts we’ve become
Got ‘em wounded like a moving target
Time to finish what you started
I need a reason to believe I did everything for nothing
There must be something, something love
I need a reason to believe I did everything for nothing
There must be something, something love
I need a reason to believe I did everything for nothing
There must be something, so insidious
I need a reason to believe I did everything for nothing
There must be something, something, something

Come now wanting do your worst
In the wake of all that we once were
Curse that crave that can’t be cured
Yeah, you start the fire just to watch it burn
You say it’s only love
Like it’s not everything, like it’s not all there ever was
All entangled in your limbs
To steal the salt right from your skin
Sealed my fate upon your lips
But it’s not something I would recommend
Put my flesh upon the flame just to feel it all again
Oh I’ve been calling on your love
Burning like a fire, thirsting for the flood
Poison boiling in my blood
Dancing with desire,
I will take to your heart like a hunter to the hunt
Calm before the storm
Rushing river runs its course
Crashing wave to shore
Always coming back for more
Love, there’s no mistaking idle talk for conversation
I’ve got time to test my patience, I’ve got you to keep me waiting
Rising fear, crashing like the shoreline breaking
It’s becoming clear, there’s nothing here left worth saving
You say it’s only love,
Like it’s not everything, like it’s not all there ever was
Oh I’ve been calling on your love
Burning like the fire, thirsting for the flood
Poison boiling in my blood
Dancing with desire,
I will take to your heart like a hunter to the hunt

So Within // So Without
04:34

Underneath the covers we were lovers, now we’re hardly speaking
Hours turn to days and weeks, summer falls like autumn leaves
Your mind changes like the seasons, don’t mistake my will for weakness
Drinking till the bottle’s empty, grown addicted to the treatment
I’ve been dealing in demons
I’ve been dealing in demons
Are you sleeping? Are you dreaming? Caught up somewhere in between?
Have you found another lover? Do you ever think of me?
Tangled in between the sheets, wrapped up in the body’s heat
Taste the tongue between your teeth, pressing on the flesh beneath
Lonely for your love
Lonely for that long lost touch
And when you’re gone and all is lost
I will do my best to miss this for the both of us
Broke down broke in the breakdown lane
Spent my last smoke on your flame
So within you
So without your love
(Don’t abandon my love)
Well consummate the consecration
(Don’t abandon my love)
I was standing in the front yard calling out your name, love
(Don’t you walk away from this)
At your silhouette in the streetlight soaking in that sundown rain
(Don’t abandon my love)
Revived the pulse, but we couldn’t save it
(Don’t abandon me love)
Suppose you were right this time, but no one’s blameless
Wash it away
It will all wash away

Youth and Young

I keep having this same dream again
Falling in slow motion from a burning building
Bracing for the ground beneath.
Wake up in a cold sweat wondering, what this all means.
Stale coffee and loose cigarettes
Sentiments beneath the skin
Keep rearranging, nothing ever really changes.
Saved your voice on the machine, it’s nice to know you called.
Days pass like lapping waves upon the shore, ebb and flow
It’s the current in the undertow
Hard to hold on, harder to let go
This endeavor’s all I’ve ever known
Oh emotions unspoken, buried below
Out of sight and out of mind,
Draw you near and hold you closer, squeeze a little tighter
One day we’ll leave this all behind
Tell the ones you love the most, constant reminders
Don’t let the moment pass you by
I know we’ll meet again my friend
In the distance, who knows how soon?
(A cold, wind blows)
Another day under the sun, waste away our youth and young
(Walking on hot coals)
You left your taste upon my tongue, restless hearts, this reckless love
(In the distance, it grows)
Thunder and lightning, do you know what I mean?
Oh I fear when that day comes, sinking like the setting sun,
Returns the dirt and dust, who knows how soon?
Oh emotions unspoken,
We may never know what’s on the other side
Draw you near and hold you closer, squeeze a little tighter
One day we’ll leave this all behind
Tell the ones you love the most, constant reminders
Don’t let the moment pass you by

Hold on to Your Love
05:04

Feeling lately, this house is not a home
Planted seeds in the garden, now the weeds have overgrown
It’s been weeks, babe, since we last spoke
Empty bottles, and the ashtrays overflow
Finding new ways to cope
Haunted by your echoes
Just keep trying to kill your ghost
I keep catching my reflection restless from the outside
When there’s no way left to win just fighting fortune not to lose
I’m just trying to hold on to your love, hold on to your love
In spite of my demons
Trust is a patient heart
A head full of doubt
A whisper in the dark:
We’re just going through the motions
Fear festers in the pit of my gut
Says if not now, I will never be good enough
If not myself, who can I trust
I am not what I’ve become
Fear festers in the pit of my gut
Says if not now I will never be what was
If not myself, who can I trust
I am not what I’ve become
I’ve been waiting for, waiting for you
Like a dream clings to some kind of truth
You are saving me, saving me from myself
And these doubts I can’t dispel, you know
And though it hurts like hell, you know
I only wish you well, you know
I’m just trying to hold on to your love, hold on to your love
In spite of my demons
Trust is a patient heart,
A head full of doubt,
A whisper in the dark
I’m just trying to hold on to your love, hold on to your love
I’m just trying to hold on to your love, hold on to your love
We’re just going through the motions

Better Days
04:54

Wounded bird, born to fly
I’m still nursing these wings, fighting the season’s change
I kissed your cheek one last time
Tried to hold on to this dream before I wake
Who knows where we’ll be this time next year
You moved away, a new career
Nothing ever changes here
Your love always remains (no matter how far)
Wasted days and summer nights
On your porch, stained teeth, glazed eyes
Spare the glass, and pass the wine
We’re making love to pass the time
It’s just a different chapter of the same old story,
When it’s good it’s good, when it rains it’s pouring
Well it’s hard to make those good times last
I’m still holding on to the past, that love we shared
They say it comes too quick, it moves to fast
I miss those signs of tenderness to show you care
Darling, please pick up the phone
You see I’m slurring my words, and I don’t want to be alone tonight
Yeah, I’ve seen better days if I’m being honest
But when I say I love you, that’s a promise
I’m gonna be the man who loves you
I’m gonna be the man who loves you
I’m gonna be the man who loves you
I’m gonna be the man who loves you
Who knows where we’ll be this time next year
A different state, a new career
Nothing ever changes here
Your love always remains (no matter how far)
Wasted days and summer nights
On your porch, stained teeth, glazed eyes
Spare the glass, and pass the wine
We’re making love to pass the time

Winding Roads
05:36

Oh this vision does me good
Metamorphosis, changing my ways
Trade conviction for youth
Say, what’s it mean, what’s the purpose?
We’re scratching the surface
Return to the dawn of an earlier age
Who am I, what’s my name?
Does it even matter anyway?
Oh this urge serves me well
Compulsion, the universe contracts and folds in on itself
Doe, wide-eyed disbelief
Great divine mystery
Elusive truth, disguised in the breeze
Constantly changing, just to stay the same thing
Winding roads (wandering these)
Winding roads (seems all I’ve ever known)
Winding roads (guide me home)
Guide me home
Well the weight of the lies gave way to the truth
I don’t care where I’m going babe, as long as I’m going there with you
Like a rolling stone
These howling winds keep blowing
Brother, rid your sorrows
Every obstacle, each crossroad,
Won’t get you where you’re going, babe
But they’re going to get you where you need to go
Wandering roads, these highways, each byway
I find I’ve got nothing to lose
Every road, leads me back to you
Winding roads (wandering these)
Lives we chose (Seems all I’ve ever known)
This love we hold (in our hearts)
Guide me home
Take the long way home
Stumbling through the streets
While the city sleeps
And the moon hangs low
See the world through glazed eyes
Slurred words and stage lights
Won’t change come sunrise
You’re still waking up alone
I hear you calling
And I’ll come running
Chasing down every color under the sun
Just to find those blue eyes
Those lips like a fine wine
Well I’d spend a lifetime living for your love
See the weight of the lies gave way to the truth
I don’t care where I’m going babe as long as I’m going there with you

Don’t waste, my time
Making up your mind
I’ve got a bad case of bad habits
Burning like a box of matches
Hole in my pocket
Can’t lose it if you never had it
Heartbreak, Hard to find
Any truth in your lies
Face to the pillow smothered
This is what it means to suffer
Lost your love this time last summer
Still cold beneath the covers
I still see you when I close my eyes
After all this time, I can’t shake you from my mind
Show me the way, the truth, lord lead me to the light
I’m sorry, little darlin of mine
Missing you helps pass the time
These days that’s all it takes to get by
It’s hard enough as it is just to burden the load
These times have been taking their toll
Might lose control on ya
(All I do, I do for you)
Just can’t let go of ya
(All I do, I do for you)
Skies of blue, running through
Greener pastures in the back of my mind
Just me and you, chasing after those better times
I’ve got to get away, they say it gets better
Well this shit ain't, getting any easier
Spent all day, trying to change the weather
Well, summoning a hurricane won’t stop a meteor
Woke up, face down in the gutter
Still drunk, broken as a motherfucker
Wonder where our words go when left undiscovered
Afraid of being alone, more afraid of one another
I’m sorry, little darlin of mine
Missing you helps pass the time
These days that’s all it takes to get by
It’s hard enough as it is just to burden the load
These times have been taking their toll
Might lose control on ya
(All I do, I do for you)
Just cant let go of ya
(All I do, I do for you)
Skies of blue, running through
Greener pastures in the back of my mind
Just us two, chasing after those better times

Riding the Wave
Caught in the comedown
Those city lights still burning bright in my head
Chasing the crave
Lost in that old sound
Thinking about things I’ve been thinking about trying to forget
Salt in my eyes
Blood in my mouth
Luck’s got a way of running out, it’ll kick a man while he’s down
Been digging this grave
For how many years now
Hit rock bottom just keep shoveling the dirt from the ground
Wondering
Am I doing what I’m supposed to?
Am I making the most of it?
Is this the path I chose?
Will I ever know it?
What’s left of the cash
Stashed in the glove box
Loose change, dollar bills, cheap thrills, an expired id
Pictures of you from that photo booth machine
Well I don’t have much to my name, but I’ve got what I need
When I lay my head down to sleep
I’ve got you like a reason to dream
Another night out on the road
And you’re the reason to call home
Waiting patient my whole life
Well I found you, I found you, I found you
Drinking down your love till the well runs dry
Won’t let go, don’t know now, how to
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Moving pictures flicker on the back of my eyes
Ain’t that funny, time
Passes us by
You can spend your whole life searching for something you may never find
Waiting patient my whole life
Well I found you, I found you, I found you
Drinking down your love till the well runs dry
Won’t let go, don’t know now, how to
Won’t let go, don’t know now, how to
Won’t let go, don’t know now, how to
