Broken chair

Rain song

Time for the rain/where time went

Another for the birds

From the wing

BREAK THE RUST

Clockwork Heart

What beauty lies on the ground

Wishing well (feat. Arie)

A dive into the lives of two individuals who set out on an adventure for riches only to find they've lost the richest part of themselves.

lyrics:

[chorus]
It's the same old train
upon the same old track
to the goldmine
it's the same old ways
that'll lead us straight on back
for our cold hearts to dine
oh, these old ways of mine


I asked the engineer for a dime
to ring my dear
when we reach the next station
he said sorry bub 
I've got a quarter dollar to my name
there ain't a sign of a replacement
but I've heard tales of this mount of gold
at the end of these tracks
but I ain't seen a man who made it back
I heard the rails turn to slush
and the ties become mush
even the wheels of this old engine 
begin to slack

[chorus] 

now I inquired about this hole
lined with the purest of gold
about these riches 
beyond my wildest dreams
asked the engineer if he felt
adventures head begin to rear
If he'd make this illfamed journey
with me
but now I've been told to give your trust
to a cash driven man
is to trust a Harlet with your heart
so I'll take up your offer
as long as this gun's in my hand
just know you'll hear the birds
before any trickery can start

[chorus] 

[interlude]

now our bodies made it back
with more riches than we could spend
for the hands of the dead 
don't move too fast
while there's a light still in our eyes
there's not a thing within our hearts
just a cold hard drive
to keep our empty lives
under glass

[chorus]
