Finished writing and recording this song about 3 years ago and it's been sitting on my hardrive 99% done since then. Theres a lot of artifacts in the vocal takes which i tried my best to fix but they're still kinda noticeable 


Lyrics:

Take what you want away from me
You think you’re smart, you’ll never see
Take what you want away from me
You think you’re smart, you’ll never see
I gave all I had away for free
You know best it’d never be
You know best it’d never be

Never Be

Lyrics:
The gun was pointed at his head 
He turned to me and begged, 
knowing he’d get nothing from god
Divine is tied to sin 

Reasoning has no place here 
Its either you or me 
Today I am the lucky one 
When will I be on my knees? 

I thought about that boy all year 
Those eyes laced with fear
Dreams he had turned to sleepless nights for me 
The lives he could have lived

I’m sure he would’ve stayed the path 
That's all he ever had 
No one to correct his course 
No place to call his home   

I’m wrong 
I’m wrong 
I’m wrong 
I’m wrong 

Im wrong 
That boy is gone
Our songs
cant change whats done  

The gun’s always been on my head
So i said when in rome,
might as well make a life here from 
sticks, stones and broken homes

When my time came to make things right, 
all I could do was watch 
The dreams he had of running free
are gonna die with me

Boy is Gone

Lyrics: 
Chalk it up to a wild night 
cause if I was right 
I'd never say all that 
to you

They got me wrong 
and its nothing new
but it was a surprise when it was 
coming out of you

I know you feel pretty 
bad right now but
just give it some time 
and I promise you’ll be fine 

You know me well 
You know I’d never hurt no one
I'd never hurt you 
I’ve never hurt you 

Cause you know me, you know me and you know
Cause you know me, you know me and you know

Oh if I was right 
Oh if I was right
Oh if I was right
Oh if I was right

I'm staying in on a Saturday night
I’m proving them wrong and 
I'm living another life

No more of my old ways 
I'm making changes 
and this time they’re here to stay

I know I've said all this before 
It’s different now 
I ain't going back for more

You know me well, would I lie to you?
Stay with with me now and 
I promise I'll see it through 

Cause you know me, you know me and you know

You Know Me

Lyrics:
Through these foreign lands 
take me by the hand 
and I promise I'll do you well 
14 karats in the end 

Yea, I know our home is gone 
Here you’ll learn to be strong
In time you’ll learn I’m right
For now live in the glimmering light

I'm doing all I can 
to give them all I never had 
I know one day I'll die here 
but what I leave, I’ll for my babies 
My babies
My babies
Oh My babies
Oh My babies

Like sparkles in the night,
explosions in the sky 
lead us into paradise 
As lavish as you'd like 

Now, through these foreign lands, 
don't forget from where you came
They'll say that you don't belong 
Its true, but it'll make you strong 
Oh

Oh I wish I could do more

Lyrics:
Drop me in the pit and stay and watch me burn 
Skin falling off the bone 
I think I'm finally home 

Been days since I last ate 
and now you look so good
Watch out when you turn around 
I'll make sure you’re never found

I'll make sure you're never found 

I'm not scared of you 
I'm an animal
I'm not scared of you
All I see is food

You’ll stay and watch me burn 
To me pain is a relief 

You'll stay and watch me burn
I know I'll laugh when it's your turn

You'll stay and watch me burn

Watch Me Burn

Lyrics:

Living on the border line
never feels the same on both sides

Grass same shade all the way through
Who knew?

Once we leave we don't come back for years

Living on the border line
never feels the same on both sides

People crossing through all day 
get what they need and then never stay  

I tried to get through by myself
Yea and they stopped me 

One more mile 
and I would -
I woulda been gone 

I see the snowy mountain tops 
from my side
 
I know that I'll never be -
never be that high


Brick by brick, we build our homes where we’ve always been meant to live
Stay or go, we take with us all that these lands need us to know 

Brick by brick
Stay or go

Borderline

Lyrics: 

It's been awhile since we last spoke 
The man I knew is now a ghost 
Every one who knows your name 
Is afraid to play the game 
Knowing not what they have done 
They live life while on the run 
You can save all those poor souls 
But your heart has turned cold 

The only thing that worries me 
Is that I make it too easy 
For all of them to do me wrong
But they won’t get off for long 
I always get just what I want 
It don't matter how its done
I’ve paid my dues in days gone by 
I can do all that I like 
Live your life barely get by 
You will never be this high 

No more pain 
He's lost the game 
We turned our heads 
Forget the dead

No more pain 
He lost the game 
They had their way 
There's no one to save

It's been awhile since we last spoke 
The man I knew is now a ghost 
Everyone who knew your name 
Is ashamed to have played the game 
All the loss that you have seen 
Did you get all that you dream? 
You’ll pay your dues in days that come 
There aint no where left to run 

No more pain 
He's lost the game 
We turned our heads 
Forget the dead


No more pain 
He lost the game 
They had their way 
There's no one to save



Losing Game

Lyrics: 

Where did you keep my love? 
Under the kitchen sink? 
Next to the bleach and dirty rags?

Maybe its been left out back 
with the dirt and the bones
over grown with grass and weeds

Cause I thought threw yours out
might have got mixed up with the garbage around my house

Until the other day when I fell out of bed 
Turned my head, saw it was beneath me the whole time 

It could be easy 
It could be easy 
It could be easy 
It could be easy 

When you're alone in your room
do you take it out of a box you lock it in? 

Or am I imagining things? Did I ever give you my love? 
Did I ever ask to take yours?

It could be easy

I took your love out from under my bed
I blew the dust off
It was glowing red
And for a moment
All I felt was bliss 
Till it turned black 
I put it back 
For when I remember again 

It could be easy




It Could Be Easy

Lyrics: 

When I first heard the news I was going blind 
I read every book that I could find, while I had time
I tattooed every new word across my chest 
So I could remember how the letters felt 

Finally felt my eyes dripping off my face 
Tried to cry but the tears didn’t have a place 
Window to the soul can only be the heart 
Here on out, my words will have to play the part 

Ya me olvide 
Como se siente 
Amor de verdad 
Algun dia va llegar 
Va llegar 
Va llegar 

I'll split you like the atom 
Bet that you'll like it 
You’ll come back begging me for more

Ill split us like the atom
Mutual destruction, 
my fingers itching on the button 

So when you lay with him in bed 
I know you think of me instead 
When you spit your little lies 
Do you look him in the eye?   

When you’re laying in your bed 
do your dreams rot in your head? 
You know that you can live them out
Go on and give me a shout 




Atom Bomb

Lyrics: 

Water thru river stones 
Each pass polishes and cleans so slow 
Who knows what mountain that I'm cut from
I'll let waves take me where they run 

Don't pull me out yet 
Too much polishing I have left 
I'll be done when I can see the shine 
and the mounds of sand I leave behind 

Student of your shaping
In the mirror, reminder to know you always
I carry bits of you on my walks
Practice counting my luck
A gift I hold abundant in my pocket

Water thru river stones 
Each pass polishes and cleans so slow 
so slow, so slow
I think I know how the story ends  
There'll be no perfect, rounded gems 
I'll be the sand washed on the shore 
Same as the ones who came before 

On days where god forsakes me
May I find you in a drawing breath of fresh air
I carry bits of you on my walks
Practice counting my luck
A gift I hold 

Student of your shaping, 
in the mirror reminder
to know you always

I can't fight anymore 
I've had to learn what's behind door

I am what I am. 
A potter's project, a mothers son

As far as I been I'd be lying 
If I said I know the end 

I am what I am 
I won't pretend 


A different ending then we imagined
Dontcha know how life can be? 
A twist in the river. Are we living 
predetermined history? 

I look in the mirror, what I see now 
Is my life filtered through you 
Callous on the climb of stone I was cut from 
You knew what I’d become 

I wish you could see me 
See the work that I have done

I wish I could sing to you 
Every song born from my heart 

Every melody, every word I sing
Holds moments of your life 
I took it for granted, all of those days I would 
rush out of your house 

Would you be proud? 
or ask for more? 

I know you’d polish, push and guide me as you’ve always done before 

It took this long

To understand the way you lived 

Like the river carves a valley, love will shape the trusting soul 

Follow the flow of love 



River Stones

She's My

Hey my friend 
can we pretend
everything’s okay?
Just for today-
-Today we lost
A win can come but a what cost?
Why would I try if all we get is peace-?
-Peace of mind
robbed by the times 
Wait it out
our time will come
For now we hope
Thinking of tomorrow 
We’ll let the days 
gladly slip away
