NSOMNIA 05:07
lyrics

Lying in this bed Where deeds undone and words unsaid Roam running roughshod Round and round my head When the sun comes up today I gather them all and I throw them away When daylight comes I throw them all away Come to me in dreams Come underneath these sheets With ghosts, desires and memories Of things that might have been Rest with me tonight My body’s tired but my mind’s in flight Keep me calm hold me still Keep bad thoughts at bay until I hear your breathing start to slow You turn your head and off you go You’ve got demons of your own While I stay here to battle mine alone Come to me in dreams Come underneath these sheets With ghosts, desires and memories Of things that might have been Come to me in dreams I pray my soul to keep Here I can do anything And everything but sleep Close my eyes again Clear my mind and count to ten A tide of worry rolls back in I clear my mind and close my eyes again Still here I lay Without a plan to survive the day I get back inside my skin Unprepared to rise again I feel you start to stir again I hear your heart speed up again Only 19 hours then I’m safe within the arms of night again Come to me in dreams Come underneath these sheets With ghosts, desires and memories Of things that might have been Come to me in dreams I pray my soul to keep Here I can do anything And everything but sleep Come to me in dreams I pray my soul to keep Here I can do anything And everything but sleep Could this be the day? I turn my life around And find my way Back to solid ground Could this be the day? Was lost but now I’ve found My way back, my way back Back to solid ground And find my way Back to solid ground

RID OF ME 03:10
lyrics

I know what it’s like To fall out of love To wake up and find out This ain't what you've dreamed of I know what it’s like To stare into space And wish someone could take your place As you smile into a face you once loved I know what it’s like And if your aim is true tonight You’ll find yourself free You’ll be rid of me I know what it’s like To push back his hand As he tries to understand And in desperation grabs for what was I know what it’s like To wake up and find That the one who loved you has changed his mind I know what it’s like to be left behind I know what it’s like And if your aim is true tonight You’ll find yourself free You’ll be rid of me I know what it’s like To find you were wrong And the one you would die for To finally be gone I know what it’s like To live with regret And to never forget I know what it’s like And if your aim is true tonight You’ll find yourself free You’ll be rid of me I know what it’s like And if a wrong can make it right We’ll find ourselves free You’ll be rid of me

BABY 03:22
lyrics

Always hungry I cuddle and I whine So needy and demanding Consuming all your time I know it drives you crazy That I won’t be your baby Frigid in the winter I wither in the heat Make sure you comfort me Before you go to sleep I know it drives you crazy That I won’t be your baby Seeing is believing Make sure that you’re not dreaming Looks can be deceiving Make sure that I’m still breathing I’ll be your property I’ll be your pet But the one thing that you need from me Is the one thing you won’t get I know it drives you crazy That I won’t be your baby Like fruit left on the vine too long We wither and we die alone Like fruit left on the vine too long We wither and we die alone Like fruit left on the vine too long We wither and we die alone Like fruit left on the vine too long We wither and we die alone

FALL 04:23

No matter how low Always know I’ll never let go And I’ll break your heart again My friend Together until the bitter end We fall to get up again We fall to get up again Your beauty shakes me You captivate me Still, your soul you never share I’ve held your flower In my darkest hour That’s how I know it’s there We fall to get up again We fall to get up again We fall And when the times are good I won’t forget to knock on wood And when the bottom drops out I’ll be alright if you’re there to break my fall It’s plain to see Only you could rescue me That’s how it’s meant to be It’s plain to see You’ll never be free of me That’s how it’s meant to be We fall to get up again We fall to get up again We fall And I’ll break your heart again My friend Together until the bitter end

SKY TO FLY IN 04:25
lyrics
buy track
And if you find the happiness you seek Will you find it with or without me? Whenever my life Is not like I like I count my blessings Wonder why I cry? Ignore the voices The only choice is To turn and run Or be as one Stop denying Stop the crying You have my love and A sky to fly in Time is waning So stop complaining You have my love and A sky to fly in And if you find the happiness you seek Will you find it with or without me? Before you’re even rising You start devising And analyzing And compromising Ignore the voices The only choice is To turn and run Or be as one Stop denying Stop the crying You have my love and A sky to fly in Time is waning So stop complaining You have my love and A sky to fly in Are we fated To complicate it? Let’s keep it simple Just the way God made it We took the beauty We made it jaded And now we’re stuck here With what we created So stop denying And stop your crying You have my love and A big sky to fly in Our time is waning So stop complaining You have my love and A big sky to fly in And if you find the happiness you seek Will you find it with or without me? And when you get to where you’re finally free I hope you get there with or without me

I see you I meet you I want you I need you Look at you So damn cute I love you So love me too But if I’m gonna be true with myself I’m already thinking about somebody else I know when I grow tired of you I’ll find another boy kind of like you I’m a fool (Oh god I’m such a fool) Lie to you (Never meant to lie to you) Treat you cruel (It’s bad it’s what I do) So uncool (Ashamed of what I did to you) Cheat on you (Always looking over you) Beat on you (Look what you made me do) Make you blue (I know it’s sad but true) Now we’re through (Always me and never you) But if I’m gonna to be true with myself I’m already thinking about somebody else I know when I grow tired of you I’ll find another boy kind of like you I know that I’ve been here before I let my lover walk out of the door Through mind games and heartache and pain I can’t wait until I meet you again Words ring true (Hear what I say to you) Cut right through (Only way to get to you) I miss you (Oh what’s a girl to do) I miss you I see you (Watch out I’m coming through) I meet you (So nice to get to know you) I need you (Got to, got to have you) I love you But if I’m gonna be true with myself I don't want to be with nobody else I know when I grow tired of you I’ll find another boy kind of like you I know that I’ve been here before I pushed my lover right out of the door Through mind games and heartache and pain I can’t wait until I meet you again I love you I love you

BETTER THIS WAY 04:05
lyrics
buy track
I see you are bluer Your smiles are far fewer You want someone who is not me Now days last forever You tug at your tether Tonight won’t be better, you’ll see The world spins beneath us We hold tight our secrets Like music we wish we could play Is it too late to change it? I know it sounds strange but Maybe it’s better this way If you choose to fly away I will not try to make you stay Maybe it’s better this way If you choose to spread your wings Fly to what makes your soul sing Maybe it’s better this way Your eyes bright as Venus With no space between us Thoughts poured out with no need to speak Now silence surrounds us It threatens to drown us We won’t make a sound as we sink Sometimes I just text you Though I sit right next to you Because I don’t know how to say Is it too late to change it? I know it sounds strange but Maybe it’s better this way If you choose to fly away I will not try to make you stay Maybe it’s better this way If you choose to spread your wings Fly to what makes your soul sing Maybe it’s better this way I wish time would linger It slips through my fingers No matter how hard I might squeeze The tighter I hold you The less I control you In hindsight I might have tried “please” Memories haunt me Why don’t you still want me? You’re so close and so far away Is it too late to change it? I know it sounds strange but Maybe it’s better this way If you choose to fly away I will not try to make you stay Maybe it’s better this way If you choose to spread your wings Fly to what makes your soul sing Maybe it’s better this way If you choose to fly away I will not try to make you stay Maybe it’s better this way If you choose to spread your wings Fly to what makes your soul sing Maybe it’s better this way

To save you I’ve got to set you free To save you I’ve got to set you free To save you I’ve got to set you free To save you I’ve got to set you free To save you I’ve got to set you free To save you I’ve got to set you free No need to say what you might do Assume I don’t believe you And after all that we’ve been through I won’t try to deceive you A lie postpones the truth But it’s the truth that’s gonna free you I’ll only take what I can use But tonight I’m gonna leave you You gave all you had, both good and bad And you came to my rescue You were there to save me Now I’m here to save you from you To save you I've got to set you free I am here to save you from you To save you I've got to set you free I am here to save you you from you You passed every test I cleaned up the mess from the elephant in the room When times got tough you’d self-destruct And leave me with a mop and broom You walked through fire, climbed razor wire Been through hell and back again You’ve been hardwired to misfire Time to bring this madness to an end You gave all you had, both good and bad And you stayed to see me through You were there to save me Now I’m here to save you from you To save you I've got to set you free I am here to save you from you To save you I've got to set you free I am here to save you you from you To save you I've got to set you free To save you I've got to set you free To save you I've got to set you free To save you I've got to set you free When I met you I was blind And already losing my mind Now that I’m free I can see Saving you will be the end of me You gave all you had, both good and bad Can’t you see I still love you? You were there to save me Now I’m here to save you from you To save you I've got to set you free I am here to save you from you To save you I've got to set you free I am here to save you you from you To save you I've got to set you free To save you I’ve got to save you from you

BOX OF RAIN 05:14
lyrics

Turn the microscope on our lives Dig in deep to see What went wrong here tonight? Why won’t you stay with me? Evidence is analyzed Protocols will be applied But the more I talk I realize I won’t be justified tonight We dig up dead emotions And pick through the remains I love you too much, baby To put you through that again Wish there was something I could offer you To take away the pain But all I have left to give you Is in this box; this box of rain The truth it lies in between Why can’t we say what we really mean? Now silence is the way we scream You can’t afford me anymore So before this turns to all out war You point your finger to the door Why don’t you walk away, please, please? We dig up dead emotions And pick through the remains I love you too much, baby To put you through that again Wish there was something I could offer you To take away the pain But all I have left to give you Is in this box; this box of rain Bourbon, tears and alibis You can’t help but sympathize And I’m way too tired to fight this fight Do we give it one more try? Let’s sleep on it tonight this time With benefit of light this time Let’s choose to do what’s right this time It’s time to let it die, this time, tonight We dig up dead emotions And pick through the remains I love you too much, baby To put you through that again Wish there was something I could offer you To take away the pain But all I have left to give you Is in this box Yeah we dig up dead emotions And pick through the remains I love you way to much baby To put you through that again Wish there was something I could offer you To take away the pain But all I have left to give you Is in this box

SOUL GONE COLD 04:54
lyrics

These days The things that used to bring me pleasure Fade to gray like a memory Set in their ways The people that I treasure look away Or straight through me My flame burning low My soul has gone cold My flame burning low My soul has gone cold My fate To take my place among the dying so I wait Where did I go wrong? Still I pray And hope that you’ll lean in and listen And can hear my song My flame burning low My soul has gone cold My flame burning low My soul has gone cold I pray the lord my soul to take If I die before I wake I pray the lord my soul to keep Now I lay me down to sleep Sometimes No matter how you try to hold me I can’t feel your touch And I feel Like tomorrow can’t be over Fast enough My flame burning low My soul has gone cold My flame burning low My soul has gone cold Leaving a heart without hate And feelings I can’t communicate There’s a hole in my memory Where the truth lies just out of reach No matter how wide the smile Nor how strong the denial Deep inside there lies a wounded soul That’s gone cold My flame burning low My soul has gone cold My flame burning low My soul has gone cold My flame burning low My soul has gone cold My flame burning low My soul has gone cold

And find my way Back to solid ground Could this be the day? Was lost but now I’ve found My way back Back to solid ground
