Track #8 - Days Run Out www.glowinghousemusic.com

Lock the door don’t you talk to loud / We’re all here for the benefit of the doubt / Now raise your hands let’s all see / Honestly do we all believe / In something better than we have / Then let’s be the saboteurs let’s be the ruffians / We’ll from the inside out grabbing the weak and making them tough again / It’s all a ruse to make people feel / It’s all a ruse to make people feel like they’ve lost / It’s all a ruse to make people feel like they’ve lost control / One by one let’s say why we are here / How you came undone now tally up your fears / Lay them down beneath your feet  / Stomp the floor before you leave / For something better than we have / Stomp hard so everyone will know


Let's Be the Ruffians

Track #9 - Days Run Out www.glowinghousemusic.com

Hide me in your arms / There’s something in my room / Why can’t I know everything like a normal boy / Why can’t I see through every wall / I need you to fight every beast and every monster / All I know is to scream / Oh no here comes trouble / Tie my tie for me / Look me up and down / Tell me I’ll be better than everyone else today / Tell me they’ll hang on my every word


Trouble

Track #10 - Days Run Out www.glowinghousemusic.com

I am the one / Responsible / For taking the longest / Road possible / Sometimes I feel / Like a juggernaut's heart / You won't have to break him / To tear me apart / And I sold it all too cheap / Could I have it back please / You are the one / The casualty / The minutes the hours / Waiting for me / Let's make up a story / And slip passed the guards / For an ultimate kiss / To push us apart / But it won't be hard / My most lovely regards / To you

Casualty

Track #11 - Days Run Out www.glowinghousemusic.com

We felt like cowboys / Sleeping out in the yard / I wanted to frame every one of your words / In the sky with the stars / Everything you said was far to real to be pretend / Nobody slept ‘cause nobody wanted that feeling to end / Michael I want you to burn out slowly / They came with handfuls / Of stones to be thrown / This town has a way of making you hide / From all you could know / Almost civilized on their horses forcing their concerns / Don’t get caught in the sting of people who think they have nothing to learn / If there was someone I want living / Long after my days run out / Someone to describe the history / Of the world I knew / It would be you


Michael

Track #12 - Days Run Out www.glowinghousemusic.com

Dawn again rises on every lawn / It went ‘round the world how far its come / A deep understatement to say, “How do you do?” / When you see me walking through to you / A mischievous grin nine decades in / If you pray you should pray that young at heart wins / Then we’ll boast and we’ll praise how little we grew / When you see me walking through to you / Twilight arrives to tuck in the day / A blanket of cool a blanket of grey / But we’ll be between nothing but greens and blues / When you see me walking through to you

Walking Through

Track #5 - The Down & Out EP: www.glowinghousemusic.com

I'm losing my color now / I wish I'd known you when I was good and green / But I'm dancing deep down inside / I"m proud of all the follies that made me real / Never write in stone / You'll leave nowhere to go / You find what you're made of / When the world stands you up / Give me shroud from head to toe / Oh it will be romantic when I hit ocean / Then catch wind and drop the reins / Now carry every low like a small step forward

When the World Stands You Up

Track #4 - The Down & Out EP www.glowinghousemusic.com

I'm headstrong lately and you can't make me act another way / Swallow your words they're testing my will to stay / Walk the valley when you're without me and I think you'll find / There's nothing but black in the baggage you leave behind / Nobody follow me / You'll most likely raise arms to fight me every move I make / Leave all the blame this is not your mistake / It feels harder but you'll go farther than you've ever been / When you realize the peace in never hearing my voice again

Nobody Follow Me

Track #3 - The Down & Out EP www.glowinghousemusic.com

Show me your smile / I could carry you for miles and miles and miles / You're lighter than air / A billion more of me and no one would be scared / Everybody else I'm sorry to say / Was much too much too far for me to take / I heard it all / The crack of the branch and every inch to fall / A world away / I was finding reason after reason after reason to stay / Talk slower / I'm trying to make out all the names / My shoulders / All covered up in praise and blame


Much Too Much

Track #2 - The Down & Out EP www.glowinghousemusic.com

I've got the feeling I'm about to learn the difference / Between being young and acting more my age / You took your heart out and trusted me to hold it / I'd turn the table on you if they weren't bolted / My oh my what a mess I've made / Lock me up in the back of a motorcade / When the road runs out of signs / Let me out and I'll go give it another try / I'm on the blacklist traded my clothes for kindling / What was the point with what your eyes can see / You call me a skeptic of everything you hold dear / And banished me out to the road well at least they know me here / You've been holding to the widespread belief / That you'd be rewarded for every virtue you keep / Don't let me make you think that's foolish to believe

Motorcade

Track #1 - The Down & Out EP www.glowinghousemusic.com

No one caught my face against the glass / My frozen five speed laying on the grass / I never knew that their voices could be that loud and cross / I rode against the wind till I got lost / Well maybe I'm shaping up / To something I can be proud of / Come springtime I'll be running around / With what's left of the down and out / I ran with rough boys tough as any men / We held our arms high and coward every threat / When they finally asked me are you in or are you out / I pushed out my chest and hid my doubt / It was too much to ever understand / Strangers all held out their strongest hand / Watching both of my makers from guardian to ground / I'm gonna stay alive till I go down
