Slowly But Surely (demo)

Take Hold The Reins (demo)

"Pioneer"

I'm alone in a city 
Where know one knows my name
Guess I was born into runnin
Yes, I've always been this way
And I don't know if I'll ever see your face again 

Some say that I'm just chasin an irresponsible dream 
That I've been fighting with some demons much larger than me
But I don't know if I'll ever see your face again

Oh and I've been wondering if you'll make your way back here
And you're still pondering if that's such a good idea
Shed some light on this life that we're living
If you think it's time I'm finally forgiven
Then head on the road like a pioneer

Well I got to meditating
Amongst the waves and sand
Everything I deemed important
Surely slipped through my bare hands
And I don't know if I'll ever see your face again

I've seen the tops of mountains
Left me speechless at the peak 
But inside my lungs were screaming
"Don't need you here with me"
And I don't know if I'll ever see your face again

Oh and I've been wondering if you'll make your way back here
You're still pondering if that's such a good idea 
Shed some light on this life that we're living
And if you think it's time I'm finally forgiven 
Then head on the road like a pioneer

I know that times are changin
We're starting to grow old
And even as our speech keeps thinning
I can't forget what I was told
"That I'm no good for you" and I should learn to love again.


 


Pioneer (demo)

"Running In Place"

Try and try and try again. I can’t seem to recall where we went wrong, oh love. 

Maybe we were doomed right from the start and I was made to teach your heart a lesson, in love.

Are you doing what you love? Have you settled into growing 
up? Well you don’t seem to give a fuck about it.

Last November brought the darkest clouds, as your tears came raining down.

No you didn’t have to say it, it was written on your face. That our love had become stagnant, we were just running in place. And I knew I couldn’t keep you, couldn’t see past my mistakes. So I told you I was leaving, packed my bags and drove away.
And I’m screaming at the ocean now, hoping you’ll come back around. 

I admit I can’t just let it go, not good with secrets — as you know. C’mon mouth, just spill it out.
When you’re all I seem to write about and I can’t relate to no one else, am I even making a sound?

Do I haunt you deep into the night? Does your mind not let you close your eyes? Well all these miles can’t numb the bruise of losing.

Well you ask me how I’m doing now  And the truth is finally out.

No you didn’t have to say it, it was written on your face. That our love had become stagnant, we were just running in place. And I knew I couldn’t keep you, couldn’t see past my mistakes. So I told you I was leaving, packed my bags and drove away.

Well I'm screaming at the ocean now, hoping you'll come back around.
