I Know I Know 05:26
lyrics
buy track
Life's calling out It's coming from the fallen trees Hope's crying out Brother, come remember me The music is all around Not caught up in the subtleties The hope was to be unfound But what's the use in trying when I can't tell myself Apart from almost anything else Sometimes I've felt Have I don well with all I have been dealt? I give I take I bend I break I tend to fold And I know you know I'm tripping out On some kind of self-aware Like deep underground I've been sleeping like a winter bear The snow's covering the ground Keeping out the noon-day sun A blanket to baffle sound But what's the use in hiding when I'm alive and well Not a tortoise playing dead in a shell Been bound been held When I couldn't break the I Shoulda' spell You lost you gained You sent you came True love is bold And you know I know Some things are hard to believe in Some things you have to breathe in I won't hold my breath When the levee's being put to the test Won't stop to rest On the journey from the head to the chest I'll go I'll stay By the moment the day I'll say it's so So I know I know

Trying to Please 04:20
lyrics
buy track
Nobody wants you to be that guy Why do try? You're looking for something you'll never find Chasing a lie It takes all my mind to be the one they all want me to be And it's not me It takes all my strength to make sure everyone in the world's happy And it's killing me Who am I trying to please? Somebody told you that boys don't cry Have you ever asked why? You're broken and messed up Well, so am I But there's more than getting by It takes all my heart to sabotage all those hopes, goals & dreams All you got for me It takes all my soul to believe the lie that noone loves me So what do you see? What do you see in Me, I'm all fresh out Too much to do and not a chance to figure out What all this doing's about I'll have you know I struggle with an ounce of doubt I tend to fold When the going gets tough I'm out Nobody wants you to be that guy Why do you try? You're looking for something you'll never find You're chasing a lie It'll take all my life to satisfy this overwhelming need It'll take all of me It'll take all I am to let you in and let love intervene So I can see Who am I trying to please

Rest Assured 05:03
lyrics
Live and learn Why do I never take my turn? Why do I always crash and burn? Or so it seems Wide awake Cant's stop thinking about the other day Can't figure out if I'm OK Why do I feel afraid? Take me where your heart's the only sound A field where I can feel your solid ground The place where love through pain endured To make the body pure My hope secure I can rest assured I stumble on Why do I sing such minor songs? Why does something always need to be wrong? Why can't I get along? What if I give some bad advice? What if I do it more than twice? What if I don't live my life right? Would it change your mind? Would it change my bill? Would you still...

Ebb & Flow 04:15
lyrics

I try to selfless I to be real But sometimes it doesn't seem like enough And it can feel so helpless When the truth's revealed The storm is passing but the sea's getting rough But you are perfect, I'm certain You've got my wanting more Oh blue merchant searching for something to adore You're the fire amongst the snow The Ebb and the Flow I need you to know right now That I'm not here to fool around So don't let go I try to present I try to stay cool But these little games just seem to get in the way I've lost incentive And I'm puzzled too This gates' getting smaller with every single passing day But here I am as I am Nothing more nothing less, just me So steer where you will Set the sail It's a wide and open sea You teach me all I need to know with The Ebb and the Flow You hold up the hands of time Your face is like the sun The stars are in your eyes as you look down upon everyone You are beautiful to me The Ebb and the Flow

The Middle 03:32
lyrics

You say you're looking for the deep end You say you're looking for a best friend You say you're looking for a way home At least a truth that you can call your own You say you want to fight for justice But don't know why if it is just us There's got to be some kind of perfect way To make what we do align with what we say I'm in the middle of the same fight I built the middle with the first bite If we build the middle oh so high Then slowly the middle's gonna run us dry And so I know that It's the not the world I'm after And no it's not abandonment It's not the world I'm after We're rearranging complication Drowning in this condensation I don't want surface manipulation Love isn't part of some equation But I'm in the middle of the same fight I built the middle with the first bite If we build the middle Oh so high Then slowly the middle's gonna run us dry And so I know that It's not the world I'm after And no it's not abandonment It's not the world I'm after I'm living in the times yet It's not the world I'm after I'm just as much a train-wreck But it's not the world I'm after Why don't you and I Save a whole lot of trouble and time And set all we see aside for a pair of unparalleled eyes Watch as the darkness tries to hide behind a pile of decadent lies What as the dead come back to life And try it again
