We Are Bound
04:10
|
|||
We’re the fire that burns us
And the cuts that make our scars
We are the love that heals us
We're the space inside the stars
We are the freed that jails us
When we pass our judgement down
We are the minds that teach us
And the ties that keep us bound
And if we’re not down to make it for each other
Then we’re not bound to make it on our own
You know that we are bound, we are bound
By love and loving one another
We are the joy that lifts us
And the heavy load we bear
We are the songs that move us
all the pieces that we share
We are the hands that calm us
When no solace can be found
But we're the wars that kill us
The only ones who keep us torn
If we’re not down to make it for each other
Then we’re not bound to make it on our own
You know that we are bound, we are bound
By love and loving one another
If we’re not down to make it for each other
Then we’re not bound to make it on our own
We are bound by loving one another
We are more than each of us alone

Death Do Us Part
03:14
|

I’m gonna write a song to show my love
A ballad from my heart cuz he’s the one I’m thinking of
I’m gonna write a song to show my baby
My sweet sweet, sweet, sweet cuddlebug has made me goddamned fucking crazy
Do you know what I’m thinking….. Yeah, he’s the one that I’ll be keeping.
I’m gonna take some pictures for my man
Wearing sexy lingerie I’ll post on my Instagram
I’m gonna show my baby that’s he’s mine, mine, mine
With everything I’ve got I’ll keep him burning up inside
All the meals I’ll be missing….. But he’s the one that I’ll be kissing.
Till death do us part I’ll keep you for my own
Till death do us part gonna keep you right beside me
Until death do us part you’re mine and mine alone
Until death do us part yeah, I’ll keep you for my own
I’ve kinda lost my mind for my new guy
He turns me inside out and makes me feel like I can fly
I’m thinking about a ring so we can tie, tie, tie
This bow into a knot forever living side-by-side
Do you hear what I’m saying? Book the chapel bells are ringing.
Till death do us part I’ll keep you for my own
Till death do us part gonna keep you right beside me
Till death do us part you’re mine and mine alone
Until death do us part yeah, I’ll keep you for my own
Till death do us part I’ll keep you for my own
Till death do us part gonna keep you right beside me
Till death do us part you’re mine and mine alone
Until death do us part yeah, you’re my sweet sweet!
Till death do us part I’ll never let you go
Till death do us part show you that I fucking love you
Till death do us part you’re mine and mine alone
Until death do us part yeah, I’ll keep you for my own

Against The Light
03:12
|
|||
Round and round the light keeps
Shining moving me to chase you down
Squeeze these veins my heart is beating
Hard with fuel to make you love me
I’m the fool who keeps believing
You’re the one to save me from the
Violent flapping of my own wings
Don’t watch me beat myself to death
Against the light
Against the light that promised so much
Not with words but lullabies your
Swooning swaying swinging branches
My eyes reach but you’re too high.
Flying in and out of light and
Shadows calling me to sleep these
Battered wings I’ve carried on
My back for what feels like centuries
Against the light
Around and round this light I’m flying
Banging loudly into the night
Torn and broken, but not beaten
I will throw myself again, and again and again
Against the light

Broken
02:43
|
|||
I know you like me broken and broken I have been
The words are never spoken since you picked me up again
I begun believing that I could maybe be someone
You tell me I’m so broken so this might make you come un-done
I’m not so into sharing this secret I will keep
You go on thinking how I’ll fall apart if you would leave
It might have been true you saved me - i saved you too
But now I know I need to go
before I let you take the final piece of me to break
Then fall apart for you to say “I knew that you could never change”
But I don’t have to prove it to you
I don’t have to prove nothing to you
I’m not staying broken for you
Proving it to me is the least I can do
Tell me the story of when you found me black and blue
It seems so funny the lengths that you would go to
to keep insisting there’s nothing only darkness here
And in my weakness I’d be wishing that I could just disappear
You say you need me broken but something’s happening
I know I’m changing and I know this changes everything
And now I’m talking but I don’t think you’re listening
And now I know I need to go
before I let you take the final piece of me to break
And fall apart for you to say “I knew that you could never change”
But I don’t have to prove it to you
I don’t have to prove nothing to you
I’m not staying broken for you
Proving it to me is the least I can do
I can fix me, I can fix me
But I don’t have to prove it to you
I don’t have to prove nothing to you
I’m not staying broken for you
Proving it to me is the least I can do

Say You Understand
04:11
|
|||
If a line could save me if it were so easy
Would it be you saving me?
I could let you court me with flowers ask me
And I might say you can take me home
Don’t listen to a word I say - don’t ask if you can stay
You walk away just close your eyes
If a heart could save mine I’d say to save time
Won't you please just save yourself.
Love, love, love - I’m not gonna do it
Love, love, love - Don’t even hold my hand
Love, love, love – I won’t fall back into it
Love, love, love - Just turn away and say you understand.
Remote, resisting my distance might seem
Like I don’t care or I’m not trying
Untallied pieces I find in all kinds of places
On the inside I’m still crying
Don’t show me your sweet face or tell me everything will be ok
You just walk away and close your eyes
If I let you save me I know it’d save you
But you’ve got to let me save myself.
Love, love, love - I’m not gonna do it
Love, love, love - Don’t even hold my hand
Love, love, love – I won’t fall back into it
Love, love, love - Just walk away and say you understand.
Don’t show me your sweet face or tell me everything will be ok
You just walk away and close your eyes
Even though you’ve thrown the line you can’t save this broken heart of mine
So save yourself the time and say you haven’t fallen for me
If it were so easy I’d let you love me
I’d tell you that I’ve fallen for you too.
Love, love, love - I’m not gonna do it
Love, love, love - Don’t even hold my hand
Love, love, love – I won’t fall back into it
Love, love, love - Just look at me and say you understand.
Say you understand...

Everything Out There
04:59
|
|||
Spiders, fire
Water clear enough to see the shark
Deep cuts, tumors
And the snakes that make their way beneath my sheets
Liver failure after all these years of alcohol
Perfect figure
The lies that have us brainwashed to think there’s such a thing
Of everything out there
To be without you here
That’s my greatest fear
Black holes, zombies
Swimming naked through a school of fish
Poison, voodoo
Ghosts that wait for me to fall asleep
Faulty wiring
Oh what a way to go... death by electrocution
Of everything out there
Of all the stuff out there
To live without you here
That’s my greatest fear
Quick sand, earthquakes
And the tidal waves they make
Heatstroke, starving
The warming of the earth will make it unforgiving
Violence, killing
The world has gone bananas and you’re the only thing that matters
Of everything out there
All the crazy shit out there
To live without you here
That’s my greatest fear

Love: Forever
02:36
|
|||
If there was such a thing as love
I’d ravage it, devour it
I’d use it up until it’s gone
Just a shell of love
Beaten down, a memory of
I could be with you and fall in love
And I would mean it, every word of it
But to hang on and not let go
When the day is done
Can we let forever come.
When love turns your heart inside out
And the fire is sinful and hot
A fast melting wick at the core
Finding what love really is... and is not
You know, I want to believe in love
I’ve never seen love the forever love
Like the stars above
Or a dream
Of never ending love
I’ve only seen on screen

The Digger
03:55
|
|||
Dig. Dig deep. Deeper. And deeper still
Dig like you mean it and you need it more
Than anything else that you’ve needed before
The further down and the deeper you go the
Dark disappears and the lightness
will grow.
Don’t pack your bags yet this might take a while
You’ve got layers upon layers to get through and file away
So dig when you’re tired and you can hardly go on just know it
might not lead anywhere who knows what you’ll find
But be sure to leave all your fantasies, dreams and tangible items you’re used to
Far behind.
Where the phoenix is born as the digger you meet the core
The beginning of you the truth you’ve not know before
The fire makes the flame and everything starts with a bang.
Just dig. Dig deeper still.
There’s no ending, beginning or bottom or top until
The journey has been taken by many and many have fought just to lose or to finally give up
It’s a tunnel through time as seen only by you an ugly and beautiful
reflection pool.
Where the phoenix is born as the digger you meet the core
The beginning of you the truth you’ve not know before
The fire makes the flame and everything starts again
And you know it never ends till you get to heaven –
and if you find hell, well, Then just dig deeper still.

Things I've Done
03:24
|
|||
I was never taught to turn and run
I was never told to turn and run
Nobody ever said to turn and run
I will jump with all I got
I will fall many times
I have fallen many times
I will fall so many times
But I’m always gonna get back up
There will be lots of lessons learned
They’ll be tons of lessons learned
They’ll be so many lessons learned
And I’ll use them all day long
With them I’ll build a bridge home
With them I’ll build a bridge home
With them I’ll build a bridge home
It’s always gonna lift me up.
It’s always gonna lift me up.
It’s always gonna lift me up.
It’s always gonna lift me up
Cuz all the things I’ve done I’ve carried each and every one
Place it with the rest of them and build myself the most fantastic bridge
Cuz they’re the things I’ve done and yeah I’ve had some fun
And I will keep collecting them until I’m done there’s nowhere else to run
Crossing that bridge a lifetime
Crossing that bridge a lifetime
Crossing that bridge a lifetime
I’m gonna make it to the other side
Pave my way like a stepping stone
Place these down like a stepping stone
Gonna keep making that bridge home
It’s always gonna lift me up
It’s always gonna lift me up
It’s always gonna lift me up
It’s always gonna lift me up
You can say it’s your way
You can say that I’ve been led astray
you can tell me that shit everyday
It’s only gonna lift me up
It’s only gonna lift me up
It’s only gonna lift me up
It’s only gonna lift me up
Cuz all the things I’ve done I’ve carried each and every one
Place it with the rest of them and build myself the most fantastic bridge
Cuz they’re the things I’ve done and yeah I’ve had some fun
And I will keep collecting them one by one by one until I’m done!

Hurricane
03:23
|
|||
When you came along
like a storm blowing wild
Then when you went away
like a storm moving on
I never saw you coming I never had a warning sign
You were the perfect storm and you hit me at the perfect time
Oh, the damage you brought
Oh, with you when you came
Oh, right through me, you came through me, through me like a hurricane
When you came along
like a fire burning wild
And when you went away
like a fire put out by the rain
I never saw you coming I never had a warning sign
You were the perfect storm and you hit me at the perfect time
Oh, the damage you brought
Oh, with you when you came
Oh, right through me, you came through me, through me like a hurricane

Jean shorts and our tan leather feet
On the hot tar in the summer
Before all the drinking
Before all the boys and their
Chevelles
The playin' cards we jammed in
The spokes of our bikes
And then booking down the sidewalks
Of our neighborhood at night
And the air tasted sweet
Like diesel and weeds
Oooohhh...
Chain link fences dividing up
The shotgun homes
Before we needed reasons
And after he was gone
We were stretched out on the vinyl seat
With all the windows down
Being cradled by the Plymouth
Coasting into our new town
And the air tastes like home
Like Windsong and cigarette smoke
Oooohhh...
In my midwestern dream
It feels like a movie that we’d seen
Climbing to the top of hill behind the Dairy Queen
The drive-in movie theater’s big screen
Our AM radio we held between
Oooohhh…
Before divorce and money
We didn't even know those words
We knew nothing would ever hurt us
In our little west side world
And before somebody told us
We never knew that we were poor
And we had fearless feats of glory
With nobody keeping score
And before the final breath
Of all our heroes as they aged
We lived free of ever knowing
That the world would someday change
And before we had to know
In which direction we should go
We were happy in the backseat
just to feel the warm wind blow
And the air tastes like home
like Windsong and cigarette smoke.

Just Like Love
04:00
|
|||
Lover you don’t know it
But I’m living on the edge here
Maybe giving us the chance or
Even telling you goodbye
But there isn’t anyone else
Not a difference of opinion
But I think it really might be that I’m actually and totally beside myself in love
With you, but don’t make me say it
With you, I don’t want to say it
With you, you‘re making me say it
I.....
It wouldn’t be your fault if
You told me you were leaving
These changing of conditions
Frankly make it hard to breath
And maybe you don’t feel it
But I thought you did last night
And the only reason I would ever say it to your face is if I thought you felt the same
Last night, that’s the only reason
Last night, well not the only reason
But last night, is one good reason I would even say
those words.
Because it feels like a miracle when I’m wrapped up in your arms
It feels like a beautiful show of shooting stars
It feels like a miracle has been sent from up above
This feels like, feels like, just like, just like love…
Oh I’ve said too much now
I can feel you pull away
But maybe I can win you back
By saying it was all a mistake
You were right about the timing’s wrong
The baggage from the other one
Still lingers in your heart I should have kept it to myself so wait can I take it back?
So wait, I didn’t mean it
I guess, I did not mean it
Oh no, I didn’t mean it, unless you feel it too
Do you love me, too?
Because it feels like a miracle when I’m wrapped up in your arms
It feels like a beautiful show of shooting stars
It feels like a miracle has been sent from up above
This feels like, feels like, just like
just like love

Holding Hands
04:48
|
|||
Hold my hand and walk with me
You’re dear to me don’t you know
Look into my eyes today
Remember them in your sleep, in your sleep.
Hold my hand and walk with me
Through our neighborhood under the snow
The Christmas lights glow
in the snow, in the snow
See my face when I’m old
We’ll grow old we’ll grow old
Holding hands in the snow, we’ll grow old.
Hold my hand and walk with me
Through our paradise under the sky
The Southern Cross high
Gravity hold us tight
Pass the stars as we float
Through the snow, holding hands
Holding hands in the snow we’ll grow old
Holding hands in the snow we’ll grow old
We’ll grow old holding hands in the snow
Through our paradise underneath the sky
See the Christmas lights
See the Southern Cross underneath our stars
As our constellation floats
Leaving gravity keep a hold on me….
We’ll grow old
Holding hands
