Who I Am 03:46
lyrics

Hello it’s been a while since you last crossed my mind Thoughts shift back from the space between the comfort of a dream Needles and pins, I never quite let you in To the madness of the damage done, the empty stare I give I couldn’t find my voice, I never had the chance There’s parts of me you chose never to see Robbed me of who I am I never had a voice. Standing on me, you know that I can’t breath I can’t see the world outside as it crashes down on me On broken glass, how long will I last? To prove myself another round for the peace I hope will come I couldn’t find my voice, I never had the chance There’s parts of me you chose never to see Robbed me of who I am I never had a voice I couldn’t find my voice, I never had the chance There’s parts of me you chose never to see Robbed me of who I am I couldn’t find my voice, I never had a voice There’s parts of me you chose never to see Robbed me of who I am I never had a voice

Wish It Would Rain 03:56
lyrics

Wish it would rain, fall on my shoulders Wish it would rain, wash over me I can see the world with the gray clouds rolling I wish it could, I wish it would rain Draw a line in the sand runs straight through your heart Only time will heal as we drift apart It tears me to pieces, lost love’s vicious cycle. The tighter we grasp we shatter all we had Another broken promise, another aching heart. Longing for some hope, dying for a spark. Wish it would rain, fall on my shoulders Wish it would rain, wash over me I can see the world with the gray clouds rolling I wish it could, I wish it would rain It’s believed that looking through the shadows Can be found a piece of you a piece of me There’s a thousand lonely people, a million aching souls Falling apart like clouds on that below A verse, a rhyme, something left unsaid A thought on time that went fleeing from my mind I shift my thoughts and let it go unspoken Was it just a dream, I can’t believe? Wish it would rain, fall on my shoulders Wish it would rain, wash over me I can see the world with the gray clouds rolling I wish it could, I wish it would rain I wish it would rain I wish it would rain I wish it would rain I WISH IT WOULD RAIN Raaaaaaaaaaiin Raaaaaaaaaaiin Wish it would rain, fall on my shoulders Wish it would rain, wash over me I can see the world with the gray clouds rolling I wish it could, I wish it would rain

Veni Vidi Vici 05:34

A plane, a train from nowhere Has got to find me somewhere A place I feel will heal me And all I am concealing Not without good reason Running from some demons Beautiful disaster That I’m chasing after I’m walking out on my world My world, my world, won’t see it my way I’m walking away without looking back From thoughts in my head, things that I lack I know this will save my bleeding heart I find I am forgetting Doubts I’ve been repressing At first it’s overwhelming Really quite alarming A storm sweeps through the city This conflict that’s within me I feel a sudden freedom This peace I came in search of In a thousand tears from the sky We danced, we danced, and our worlds collide I’m walking away without looking back From thoughts in my head, things that I lack I know this will save my bleeding heart I’m walking away without looking back From thoughts in my head, things that I lack I know this will save me, will save my bleeding heart

Some might say that I’m a loser, that don’t matter much to me These stars they shine so brightly, so bright I can’t see Ooooohhh, ahhhhh Ooooohhh, ahhhhh Decisions I can’t make so lightly you’ll probably never know Things I can’t take so lightly, weigh on me like the world My heart it broke when you called me a friend I must have been the only fool that couldn’t see The world changed in the blink of an eye I don’t have a tear in me to cry Don’t you dare call me a hero, just go your way I’ll go mine I don’t think you understand me, I know you don’t have the time Ooooohhh, ahhhhh Ooooohhh, ahhhhh So just hear this I’m begging if it’s the only thing you do This world is slipping from our fingers and I’m no different than you My heart it broke when you called me a friend I must have been the only fool that couldn’t see The world changed in the blink of an eye I don’t have a tear in me to cry Ooooohhh, ahhhhh Ooooohhh, ahhhhh My heart it broke when you called me a friend I must have been the only fool that couldn’t see The world changed in the blink of an eye I don’t have a tear in me to cry My heart it broke when you called me a friend I must have been the only fool that couldn’t see The world changed in the blink of an eye I don’t have a tear in me to cry I don’t have a tear in me to cry I don’t have a tear in me to cry

Hey there brother taking that road you’ve seen 100 times before No one had a thought it would be the last time you would walk through the door Hey there sister with the hole in your heart; been holding on for way too long The love you long for is taking its time; you’re losing hope it’s coming along I’ve seen you up, I’ve seen you down I’d give all I’ve got to help you come around There’s no good reason to be unhappy again Life goes on for you, life goes on for me I know this sadness won’t last Some come on walk with me, take my hand you’ll see Let this all be the past Hey there brother with the tear in your eye; standing in the cold mountain air You sold out everything you had in life; gave it up like you didn’t care In your heart you know it’s not the end Time will heal, hearts will mend There’s no good reason to let these demons rule you Life goes on for you, life goes on for me I know this sadness won’t last Some come on walk with me, take my hand you’ll see Let this all be the past Life goes on for you, life goes on for me I know this sadness won’t last Some come on walk with me, take my hand you’ll see Let this all be the past Let this all be the past Hey there brother taking that road

It's Gonna Rain 05:36

There’s a freight train thunderin it’s way tonight Never heard no warning never saw no lights Sometimes it seems we can all run blind Hittin the end is a matter of time It was cold and damp as that sun rose Take in the beauty, time just froze Nothing worth a damn ever stays the same It all gets shattered by a speeding train Oh, I’ve got faith Oh, It could change Oh, I’ve got faith Oh, It could change…It’s gonna rain Lips are moving, hear no sound Silent choirs singing all around Voices come and voices go Echo what we carve in stone Oh, I’ve got faith Oh, It could change Oh, I’ve got faith Oh, It could change…It’s gonna rain Hold this hand love grasp it tight Gonna teach you how to run tonight Secrets of the stars take hold Things to share as we grow old Oh, I’ve got faith Oh, It could change Oh, I’ve got faith Oh, It could change…It’s gonna rain

Wherever 03:45
lyrics

It must have been an addiction, I couldn’t turn away If it were some kind of problem I wouldn’t be standing here today. You couldn’t tell me I’m right, so don’t tell me I’m wrong Would it matter anyway? There’s not enough time to make up my mind anyway...anyway… Wherever I’m going I hope that you’re going and I’ll see you there It’s too short a story, without enough glory doubt you’d even care Laughin at perfection, something to be achieved It seems it’s a mystery one that’s hard to perceive But is door number 1 better than door number 2? Should I care anyway? Given my time I couldn’t make up my mind anyway...anyway… Wherever I’m going I hope that you’re going and I’ll see you there It’s too short a story, without enough glory doubt you’d even care Wherever I’m going I hope that you’re going and I’ll see you there It’s too short a story, without enough glory doubt you’d even care Wherever you’re going I hope that I’m going and you’ll find me there It’s too short a story, that never was boring, doubt you’d even care

Just Hold On 05:18

Look around this great big world, there’s nothing left to hold onto You’ve got your fairy tales and, baby, I’ve got you Just have to hang in there even when the waters are rough That feeling I’m getting from you isn’t quite enough Just be lost with me no need to see the light When I see that look in your eyes I know everything’s alright Just got that feeling again like I’m falling I need someone to come and save me I know somehow I’ve got to hold on Just hold on One step when you’re on the edge won’t save you now All hope is lost and you’re left wondering how So sweep your shattered dreams up from off the floor You’ve got nowhere to go when you don’t know what you’re looking for Just be lost with me no need to see the light When I see that look in your eyes I know everything’s alright Just got that feeling again like I’m falling I need someone to come and save me I know somehow I’ve got to hold on Just hold on Just got that feeling again Just got that feeling again Just got that feeling again Just got that feeling again like I’m falling Just got that feeling again like I’m falling I need someone to come and save me I know somehow I’ve got to hold on Just hold on Just got that feeling again like I'm falling Just got that feeling again Just got that feeling again Just hold on

Known Better 04:07
lyrics

I could have known better, I should have known better with you You got my mind racing, always left me waiting for you I could have known better, I should have known better with you Chasing down your dreams, falling apart at the seems Saving up every dime to have it taken away See the man in the suit, hear what he’s preaching to you Heard it all before, still doesn’t make any sense Spend some time in someone else’s shoes Give a damn for someone besides you I could have known better, I should have known better with you You got my mind racing, always left me waiting for you I could have known better, I should have known better with you Going out of your way to brighten someone else’s day Though the point may get lost, you’re never weary or numb Too much beauty you see, can’t live someone else’s dream Give away your last dime but they still want more from you Spend all your time in someone else’s shoes Give a damn for everyone but you I could have known better, I should have known better with you You got my mind racing, always left me waiting for you I could have known better, I should have known better with you

Don't Hold Your Breath 07:40
lyrics

Quiet as a whisper, the voice that wasn’t heard Drowning in the echoes of people screaming to be heard A generation divided by crooks and cons When believing in nothing doesn’t seem so bad at all Don’t hold your breath now They say Jesus is coming Set out for something To put a face to the name Singing songs to the ocean in the dark of the night Feel too small to make a difference, to different to be right It must be the great divider, how they speak for us all Road littered with doubters, disenchanted we fall Hold on to love now They say Jesus is coming Set out for something To put a face to the name Quiet as a whisper, the voice that wasn’t heard It rose above the echoes It rose above the echoes Don’t cast your stones now They say Jesus is coming Set out for something Better than nothing Don’t hold your breath now They say Jesus is coming Set out for something Just set out for something Don’t hold your breath Don’t hold your breath Hold on to love Don’t. Hold. Your Breath. Don’t hold your breath now Don’t hold your breath
