@michaelfitch: thanks a lot man - appreciate it

This is fantastic. Is this all self produced?

This is great song.  The world needs to hear it.

Cool stuff! I was a student of your dads, class of 97.

Tight Rope depicts the personal strength needed to overcome the many obstacles we are faced with.

"TIGHT ROPE"
(Rucker, Gonzalez, Connelly)

Head up eyes locked on the straight away,
Arms out feeling tougher than a heavyweight,
Feet inch, toes clinch, yea it's gettin late,
Time keeps movin, cold sweat drippin down my face.

Heal to toe as I inch to the other side,
Breathe steady, heart heavy, yea it's do or die,
No net, won't catch if I fall this time,
Tight rope walkin am I gonna make it out alive.

I'm ready, I can do this any day,
Legs steady like a jump shot fadeaway,
I've been down but I'll do it again,
Until the next one,

It ain't easy walkin this far,
It ain't easy thinkin this much,
It ain't easy watchin all the pieces fall.

This rope is never too tight,
Feels like the world's on my shoulders,
I hope I'm doing this right,
Until it's time to start over,
Start over,
Start over,
It ain't easy watchin all the pieces fall.

Palms sweaty, am I ready for this all again,
High stakes, it's a risk worth takin,
I look down and my world starts shakin,
Back up at the sky and I start to feel my patience,

Just a few more steps and I'll get there,
I've made it this far truth is my best friend,
All the times I was doubted I made it,
Turned a couple heads now the long shot's the favorite.

I'm ready,
I can do this any day,
Heart racin like a bank rob getaway.
I've been down but I'll do it again,
Until the next one,

It ain't easy walkin this far,
It ain't easy thinkin this much,
It ain't easy watchin all the pieces fall.

This rope is never too tight,
Feels like the world's on my shoulders,
I hope I'm doing this right,
Until it's time to start over,
Start over,
Start over,
It ain't easy watchin all the pieces fall.

That Will Do

An Unquiet Mind is an honest look at the struggles and soul of Ezekiel Morphis. Acoustic and Americana folk songs that tell stories of hope in the face of trials. 

"...don’t be afraid of the darkness, dive into it. That is a lesson I learned from Ezekiel and that is a lesson you will learn from his music. If nothing else, you will learn that something beautiful, like a song, may come of it."

Vacancy

If you have kids, then you know that it can be a struggle to convince them how perfect you are as a parent. ha! Sometimes you butt heads and it can hurt.  The way I deal with things is to write a song.  This one is a special one I wrote to my daughter.  No matter what, I love my children. Its a snapshot of a time of struggle and renewal. “ Copyright 2006. Words and music by Brian Futch

"REALIZE"
(Rucker/Gonzalez)

Am I carried away,
For asking about all the things you say,
Or is it just better that way,
For these times they have been broke again, again.

Now why would you wanna try me,
I thought this was multiplying,
I'm done with these foolish games,
They're all the same to me.

Now there ain't no use in trying,
Our love in slowly dying,
Now you tell me who's to blame,
It's all the same to me.

Now realize,
I can't take this anymore,
Just realize,
That this moment can't be undone for the hell of it,
And one day we'll be alright,
So realize,
That real eyes, know real lies,
So realize.

I always knew better,
I felt like our lives were changing now,
Cause you brought this weather,
The ice in your veins has shot this down,
We can't be together,
So why even try to work this out,
The past has been broken,
What is done is over,
The future starts right now.

Now why would you wanna try me,
I thought this was multiplying,
I'm done with these foolish games,
They're all the same to me.

Now there ain't no use in trying,
Our love in slowly dying,
Now you tell me who's to blame,
It's all the same to me.

Now realize,
I can't take this anymore,
Just realize,
That this moment can't be undone for the hell of it,
And one day we'll be alright,
So realize,
That real eyes, know real lies,
So realize.

I should have known better,
I shouldn't have let what I allowed,
But you brought this weather.

Now realize,
I can't take this anymore,
Just realize,
That this moment can't be undone for the hell of it,
And one day we'll be alright,
So realize,
That real eyes, know real lies,
So realize.
