Left To Know 03:26
Shadows and dust, Riley Jane, we are ash trees and coats Don't you know, where we'll go, when we pass on Clovers and coal, I'm not sure, which our hair will help grow When we lay in the ground six feet below Hammers will hash out our name in the stone Cast in black granite that sparkles like the snow Years and a name, we'll remember more but take this anyway Cause a dash is just a dash, but the life is left to know Cry and a fuss, I'm just, full of questions to much In the dust, each adjustment is a crime Times that we touch, sigh and cuss I would trade up my while, to remain, and sustain that piece of mind Hammers will hash out our name in the stone Cast in black granite that sparkles like the snow Years and a name, we'll remember more but take this anyway Cause a dash is just a dash, but the life is left to know I'm happy at last, to know that there's nothing to know, but the fact That you're already here, and I'm already now, for a chance to exist With you Hammers will hash out our name in the stone Cast in black granite that sparkles like the snow Years and a name, we'll remember more but take this anyway Cause a dash is just a dash, but the life is left to know

Ride 02:52
What am I scared of, what am I used to What I'm comprised of, what I'm compared to What have I opened, what will I go through Cause I can only get so far on dead end roads What am I scared of, what am I used to What I'm comprised of, what I'm compared to What have I opened, what will I go through Cause I can only get so far on dead end roads And I've been thinking about you When will you draw back on my rope And I've been hoping you'd come through Are you even listening now And I've been thinking about you When will you draw back on my rope And I've been hoping you'd come through Are you even listening now Out in the desert I know that you're there Out in the wasteland I know that you care Death and his valley you are by my side This well that's within me it cannot run dry

Stand around the dance floor like a fool Who knows just what to do Scared of acting up or losing cool But who's got time for watching you Growing up's not finding out the truth It's about doing what they do Soon they'll change and find out something new They'll howl at the moon, just like you Locked up in a tower in your room Drunk on lonely perfume Hang around with all your ancient tunes It's all you listen to Growing up's not straying from the group It's about loving what you do Soon you'll hear the cycle laugh at you You'll start all over just to lose, and then you'll sing the blues Dance around the kitchen me and you In the quiet of the afternoon Lately circumstances leave a bruise And my arms are the perfect spot for you Growing up's not panning out in veiw We thought we'd be doing something new And it keeps me feeling old like changes do There's so little left to prove

Give Up All 03:09
Soften my heart, to see like you Open my ears, to hear the truth I just wanna be in my father's house I just wanna be like my father now So I lift my eyes to the hills Where does my help come from It comes from you So I lay life down Yes I give up all that you paid for I have but gifts, I can return My flesh is weak, but you stand firm I just wanna be in my father's rest His loving redemption is the best So I lift my eyes to the hills Where does my help come from It comes from you So I lay life down Yes I give up all that you paid for Loving the lost Brothers and sisters, won't you come on down Here at the cross Mothers and fathers won't you come on down So I lift my eyes to the hills Where does my help come from It comes from you So I lay life down Yes I give up all that you paid for

Hope lasts the weekend We're still here today Think back where we've been Standing in the kitchen Knowing we would still be friends So stay here with me then I don't mind, you can, take my time Lay back, and breathe in Wistful days are over Let the wished for days begin I don't lie, when I say that it's high time You and I agree these are the best days of our lives There's just no other way, to think about today The hard part, is thinking that it's real Can't wake up, can't redo what about has been done It's alright, to converse about this feeling All we've got is time, all we've got is daylight I don't lie, when I say that it's high time You and I agree these are the best days of our lives There's just no other way, to think about today

Reckoning 03:21
I was unsure from the start About love in the darkness About us without purpose But now I know we'll turn out fine I felt some urge to resist this About words without business But how absurd I'd stop to listen To my fear before my heart I'm reckoning with the dawn With my sinful inner song Count my rights, undo my wrongs I have always loved you inside I'm imminent to belong Til the saints come marching on Let's celebrate til death has come We are always living inside I was on earth from the start Made of gravity and stardust But my heart beat conundrums Til I asked where I was from Before the world had existed Was there love we're you listening To a heart aching distance A million years from me today I'm reckoning at the dawn With my heart's eternal song Without right and without wrong I was always perfect somewhere Where the skin no longer yawns At the souls confusing response To a punishment to long We were always righteous inside Aching won't let go, I won't believe in nothing The truth will be exposed, I'm jaded and untrusting Time still cashes out, this world amounts to nothing I'm building to get out, don't lay my worth as something

Loneliness is like waiting to explain myself But asking why you never came back home to me Hopefulness is like aching to redeem the day By spending it with you and making jokes like it never ended And I, don't wanna go another night And I, just want to let you know that I I still love you, I still love you Brokenness is like losing your will to fight While losing sleep with open eyes and wondering if you're stupid But everyday you still wake up and do your life And feel like you might just escape the dark that you befriended And I, don't wanna go another night And I, just want to let you know that I I still love you, I still love you We don't need to figure out, we just need to settle down We've been dancing like the dead, instead of listening to the sound I don't understand what there's to get, I just know what there's to count And I, don't wanna go another night And I, just want to let you know that I I still love you, I still love you

Lonely and ghostly child You were the one, I had in mind There's no doubt, you are the soul I was longing for There without, you I wandered the streets in sweet summer darkness Lonely and hopeless times Only the woods, kept me alive Days hold out, losing the ones I am calling on There's no love, there's no life in the heartbreaking listless divide A little bit of heart breaking now A little bit of heart breaking down A little bit of heart aching now A little bit of heart guessing now A little flying blind somehow A little bit of heart breaking now

Picking on the strings while my little ma sings what I've written With no one to listen Four walls ringing while the sweet smell strays from the kitchen They don't know what they're missing Wildfire don't burn for everyone I find that the good kinds worth living on Sticking to the right side living from the cask of provision It's my finest decision Tearing up the back yard tossing out the grain to the chickens I give the neighbors a listen Wildfire don't burn for everyone I find that the good kinds worth living on Tire when the good working day is done Thrive freely from the tension of the sovereign son Hey little mama, what's up with the problem in the sale Hey little downturn, the foxes took your vineyard can you care Oh you couldn't care And I don't mean to put your fire out And I don't mean to cut your dreams down And I don't mean to stop you on your way to college And I don't mean to stomp out all your faith I'm just trying to get it through Wildfire don't burn for everyone I find that the good kinds worth living on Tire when the good working day is done Thrive freely from the tension of the sovereign son
