On the run
Everybody 's out there waiting for you
If you make it
There's a line of faces   shaking your hand
for knowing
the people the places that everybody
knows but me
This is how it all turns out to be


But I'm not swimming
No I'm not there
And if you're waiting
Then be prepared


Can you hear
The words they whisper about your name
Should they know it
The bottom line no matter the time
And here I'm standing
Holding the case but I'd rather be
Pulling the trigger now cause i don't know how 
everyone else here can stand to be near

But I'm not swimming
And No I don't care
And if you make it
I'll try to stop and stare




And whatever the price they've put on your head
I'll wake up finding the dreams that I've lead
Break out into song of the old and the grey
I'd die long before I remembered the day
I'm out in the cold and alone in the wreck
Watch in the dark for the light and the speck
And if you were there and you heard this out
I know you'd have your doubts

Away

An electric guitar based re-recording of 2012 Track "The Rain."

Album 4

The Rain

she doesn't know her name
its the way the wind is blowing
pulling back the seams
and our mistakes are showing
she goes beneath the skin
and now my heart is mending
she stands beneath the falling rain
for a bus that no one's taking

but i’m still waiting here
cause now i’m lost 

she sits beneath a tree
though its dark and frightening
the clouds a rolling sea
the her eyes full of lightning
she looks up to the sky
and though no ones listening
she makes another cry
and for this i am forgiving

but i'm still waiting here
cause now i'm lost
i’ve got nothing left to fear
cause now i’m lost

You are an angel
But there's no one up above

Mean Nothing

Lost

As For Now

Recored February 2017.  All music, lyrics, and vocals by Nathaniel Tann.

 Hold the line
The time is right
When I've - Said enough
Miss what's mine
When I - Fade away
Fall back in line
And Should you - Walk my way
That'd be just fine

Back to You  Again
Back to You Again
It was You Again
It was You Again

Heaven Is
Not what it seems
and this - everything
left in my dreams
Should you - leave it out
Hang me dry
Should you - let me go
leave me behind

This is why
things go away
When you leave it 
It molds and decays
and if you have a dream
Give it up now
Everything you've lost 
will be not found

Blue Theory

Forget the words that I said
Promises and regrets

And I found a way to be me
And the places that I'd rather be

Forget the words I said
Promises and regrets
And out here on my own
Dreams that I've never known

And I found a way to be me
and the places that I'd rather be
And fearful that I'm left behind
growing inside of my mind

Forget the words I said
Promises and regrets
And out here on my own
Dreams that I've never known

Consequence

You
You and I
if you were free
if you were me
You and I across the sea
You and I can never be

You
You and I
This part believes
This part was me
I can see you beneath the ice
And  I could wait but for the price

And I
Could wait alone
And I
Could wait alone
And I
Could wait alone

You
You and I
If you would leave
That'd be fine
But I'd wait for it to end
and I'd wait for this to end

And I
could wait forever

You And I

Kill Me You
