I felt invisible, but everyone Was staring at me I felt alone, yet smothered Like no one would let me be I felt a yearning, like a burning Too hot to overcome Cuz anything was better Than where I was from I met a band, they played a show And then we head out on the road We made it down to Arizona Where it didn’t seem so cold I had a California Dream You know I need that fun fun fun Cuz anything was better Than where I was from Anything was better So I went out on the run Anything was better I couldn’t wait to see the sun Anything was better I said goodbye to everyone Cuz anything was better Than where I was from Goodbye to old Queen Street Goodbye to Whitaker Park I’m thankful for the lessons But the memories are dark Good riddance to that home Where the nightmare had begun Yea anything was better Than where I was from

As we live, as we live, this is the time to love As we live, as we live, this is the time to love If not us, then who? If not now, then when? Is there a hero among us or are all of the good ones just dead? Life is for dancing, life is for moving As long as I’m breathing, I am renewing Life is for dancing, life is for moving, as long as I’m breathing As we live, as we live, this is the time to love If the fall of the western civilization, leave the bus and arrive At the station, music vocation, stereo citation Peace and love raise the world vibration Life is for dancing, life is for moving As long as I'm breathing, I am renewing Life is for dancing, life is for moving, as long as I’m breathing As we live, as we live, this is the time to love Love is an action, start with yourself This is the time to love, seize the day, don’t wait for a sign from above Love light may blind my eyes, can’t keep me down Like a yearning still I rise As we live, as we live, this is the time to love We’re running out of time!

You got my letter, read it twice Short breaths, long sighs Might be a liar, might be a drunk But I forgive you for your giving up It doesn’t matter, my life was shattered And my heart’s got holes You left a child, out in the wild And I was raised by wolves. I was raised by wolves. We would dig for scraps out in the cold After you left to go and try to find your pot of gold My teeth got sharper, my skin got tough So I forgive you for your giving up It doesn’t matter, my life was shattered And my heart’s got holes You left a child, out in the wild And I was raised by wolves. I was raised by wolves. Yea when you left and said goodbye Under the moonlight, we had to learn to say alive In the wild!

No matter how far I run, I always end up back here No matter how far I go, I always end up back here Took me two years to write this song I wanted it perfect, no wrinkles in it Took me a long time to come clean To be honest, the truth’s so ugly Took me a long time to come home, I didn’t think you’d get me I had too much explaining. No matter how far I run, I always end up back here No matter how far I go, I always end up back here In the mirror, in the mirror, in the mirror, only in the mirror I always felt so out of place In a crowded room, I speak too soon Yeah I put a big smile on my face I can’t let them know it’s all for show, No Took me a long time to come home, I didn’t think you’d get me I had too much explaining No matter how far I run, I always end up back here No matter how far I go, I always end up back here In the mirror, in the mirror, in the mirror, only in the mirror I’m tired of running

Sometimes when you’re low You gotta kiss the ground I wanna live life like a bird on a wire Let the wind come take me higher and higher But I've been so low, like a hurricane I go Round and round and round and round Weak with pride, where there’s smoke there is fire Devil on my shoulder always been such a liar When I lose control, I drop to my knees and go Down and down and down cuz Sometimes when you’re low You gotta kiss the ground Every tribulation in life is a lesson If you count your scans then you’re counting your blessings Pride before fall, in this spiral we just all go Round and round and round and round We need light only love can inspire Sing it all together like a seraphim choir Flying with the angles right before we fall Down and down and down but Sometimes when you’re low You gotta kiss the ground

Jailbird 02:45
I hear the sound echo off the concrete The same song is playing on repeat Haven’t taken a breath in hours it seems My skin turns blue, my ears ringing The trauma skips like an old C.D. That’s all scratched up from my OCD It echoes on like a jailbird, echoes on like a jailbird Year after year I hear the screaming in my ears and it Echoes on like a jailbird Strung out adrenaline junkie My heart pounds but I look like a zombie There’s wires crossed inside my brain And broken tracks lead to runaway trains I bite my nails, until they bleed Pullin’ out my hair from the root like a weed It echoes on like a jailbird, echoes on like a jailbird Year after year I hear the screaming in my ears and It echoes on like a jailbird
7.
The Hard Way 02:51
I learned everything the hard way I learned everything the hard way I never listened to what anyone had to say I learned everything the hard way The road was rocky but I dug my heels in Til blood and concrete had worn right through my skin And it would take a special kind of pain Before I’d ever say, I learned my lesson I learned my lesson My every battle scar could tell a different tale Of all the times I'd go all in, and I would fail And i know the house, it always wins And jokers never say, I learned my lesson I learned my lesson… They like to say “I told you so” But I know things they still don’t know So many lessons I forget So many nights that I regret …I never listened, and I still don’t today I learn everything the hard way

My Heart 03:27
The day that you left I couldn’t believe The earth was still spinning and I could still breathe All that I saw, painted in grey All of the color just faded away Now you’re my angel, a sweet sweet soul And though it’s painful i’ll let you go My heart keeps beating, my heart keeps beating My heart keeps beating, my heart keeps bleeding for you And then i woke up, I was alone It’s empty inside this shell of a home Cards have been read, roses are dead Don’t have the strength to get out of this bed But you’re my angel with sweet sweet eyes And I’m so grateful you saved my life My heart keeps beating, my heart keeps beating My heart keeps beating, my heart keeps bleeding for you How long, how long, how long. How long I’m gonna miss you I don’t know how to carry on I’ll never ever ever be the same again without you A part of me is dead and gone But my heart keeps beating.

Let 'Em Go 02:47
Static comin’ down my radio station I’m always caught up in the same old situation You dig your claws in me when we’re embracing I see your face, and my heart starts racing I told myself this time would different I turn around it’s the same old heartbreak The energy of the earth is shifting So it’s the time we say… let ‘em Go When they try to take control, let ‘em Go You never give, no you always been taking I hear your name and my hands start shaking And every X Every O you were faking Walk all over me? You must be mistaken I told myself this time would be different I turn around it’s the same old heartbreak The Energy of the earth is shifting So it’s the time we say… let ‘em Go When they try to take control, let ‘em Go If you ever feel like they don’t want your light To shine this bright If you ever feel like you don’t have the right To live your life… Let ‘em go! When they try to take control let ‘em go
10.
Worst For Me 02:24
You celebrate my pain, I know it brings you pleasure And all my suffering, a diamond that you treasure Sociopath, you smile to my face then oh behind my back You raise a glass to my mistakes and You’ve got an attitude, you’ve got no gratitude You’ve got no grace Puffed up and arrogant, it’s such a punishment To be in the same place As someone who wants the worst for me You celebrate my tears, I know they make you blissful Just dancing on my grave and throwing dirt down by the fistful You wouldn’t have my picture by a candle It’s pasted on the bullseye of the dart board on your mantle You’ve got an attitude, you’ve got no gratitude You’ve got no grace Puffed up and arrogant, I swear never again To be in the same place As someone who wants the worst for me You’re someone who wants the worst for me
11.
If it gets too heavy, yea too heavy Gonna bring you to the ground Lay your burdens down, down, down, down Lay your burdens down It’s a heavy weight, on a rainy day We’ve bankrupted our spirits from all the bills we have to pay I said hey now, what you say when the pressure gonna come around… My mamma told me “Baby, you’ve got to lay your burdens down” From the sharpest fangs a good heart can harden We’ve paralyzed compassion, we need to cast snakes from the garden I said hey now, what you say when the pressure gonna come around My mamma told me “Baby, you’ve got to lay your burdens down”
12.
I know you won’t come home again But I keep your things where you left them I wear your clothes so I can sleep Imagining you’re next to me And I know, in my soul That love never dies, that love never dies I can see your face when I close my eyes That love never dies This house is just my little cage Where no one comes to check on me And no one sees the hell I’m in I’m a long long away from heaven And I know, in my soul That love never dies, that love never dies I can see your face when I close my eyes That love never dies I play blackbird on your guitar, they way it bleeds won’t let it scar You have my all I still write you everyday, I put my letters on your grave I’ll wait for your call That love never dies, that love never dies I can see your face when I close my eyes That love never dies Not now, not ever, no chance, no never
13.
Afterthought 03:14
Well I guess you’re just another raindrop In the puddle of my pain Dancing off the rooftops, down the gutter To the drain And I’m the bolt of lightning Tearing through your darkest skies The storm on the horizon, speaking truth To all your lies So thank you for the heartbreak Thank you for the pain, thank you for the bruises Thank you for my broken brain Cuz I made it through the battle stronger than I used to be And now you’re just an afterthought You’re just an afterthought to me After the sad songs of my childhood You were a warm familiar tune You cut me deeper than the ocean Then I poured whiskey in my wounds Yea you tore me into pieces just to keep your demons fed You’re not the man my mama prayed for You’re who the devil sent instead So thank you for the heartbreak Thank you for the pain, thank you for the bruises Thank you for my broken brain Cuz I made it through the battle stronger than I used to be And now you’re just an afterthought You’re just an afterthought to me … I made it through the battle stronger than i used to be With the sword of an archangel always there defending me From the fire on your tongue and the serpent in your eyes You were always “seeing red” I can’t believe I’m still alive Trying way too many nights to burn and kill those memories And now you’re just an afterthought, you’re just an afterthought to me… Yea I guess you’re just another raindrop in the puddle of my pain
14.
Alien 03:12
My bones are the bars of a jail And I’ve never felt completely female I sleep when the sun starts to rise So I spend the night drying my eyes And I watch all the humans, they move place to place And hide in plain sight with that look on their face Do they feel the same or is it just me? I wish I could fly into that beautiful beam Cuz I don’t fit in, I’m struggling I’m trying to be “one of them” But I’m an alien around here My soul’s crawling out of my skin Yea this gravity’s wearing me thin I’d probably breathe better on mars Floating up there above the stars And I watch all the humans, they move place to place And hide in plain sight with that look in their face Do they feel the pain or is it just me? I wish I could fly into that beautiful beam Cuz I don’t fit in, I’m strugglin’ I’m trying to be “one of them” But I’m an alien around here They look at me like I’m from light-years away And I don’t fit in, I’m struggling Now I am not trying to be “one of them” I’m an Alien, around here

Once I got to the mountain top, everywhere I could see Prairie full of lost souls running from the priests of iniquity Where the hell was Elijah? Well, what do you do when the prophecy came was true? You cannot take the walls of Jericho (Na na, na-na-na-na-na) Put your lips together and blow (Na na, na-na-na-na-na) To the very top (Na na, na-na-na-na-na) Sayin' the truth crystallizes Like jewels in the rock, in the rock Get down Moses, part another sea Carve another tablet out of LSD Get down Moses, out in Tennessee Get down Moses, down in the street The blood is washing down all the gravel to our feet Get down Moses, down in the pit Lying in a green, cross bound field Crashing on a downtown strip Looking in the eyes of the diamonds and the spies and the hip Who's sponsoring the crack ghetto Who's lecturing? Who's in the know and in the don't know? You better take the walls of Jericho (Na na, na-na-na-na-na) Put your lips together and blow (Na na, na-na-na-na-na) Goin' to the very top (Na na, na-na-na-na-na) Where the truth crystallizes Like jewels, in the rock, in the rock Get down Moses, from the eagle eyrie You gotta to make a new friend out of old enemies Get down Moses, back in Tennessee Get down Moses, down with the dreads They got a lotta reasoning in a dread head Get down Moses, down in the street Get down Moses, part another sea Carve another tablet out of LSD Get down Moses, out in Tennessee Get down Moses, down in the street The blood is washing down all the gravel to our feet Get down Moses, down in the pit Get down Moses Get down Moses Get down Moses We need to eat We gotta chew it over with our wisdom teeth Get down Moses

Father, can you hear me? How have I let you down? I curse the day that I was born And all the sorrow in this world Let me take you to the herding ground Where all good men are trampled down Just to settle a bet that could not be won Between a prideful father and his son Will you guide me now? For I can't see A reason for the suffering and this long misery What if every living soul could be upright and strong? Well then I do imagine There will be sorrow Yeah, there will be sorrow And there will be sorrow no more When all soldiers lay their weapons down Or when all kings and all queens relinquish their crowns Or when the only true messiah rescues us from ourselves It's easy to imagine There will be sorrow Yeah, there will be sorrow And there will be sorrow no more There will be sorrow Yeah, there will be sorrow And there will be sorrow no more Yeah, there will be sorrow Yeah, there will be sorrow And there will be sorrow no more

I was raised by wolves. Yea when you left and said goodbye Under the moonlight, we had to learn to say alive In the wild!
