Run out 04:27
I kicked and pushed Yelled and swore Said you were lying Ran out the door Washed my hands The deed was done Fed myself Drank illusion I dug a hole I made it deep White washed tombs In secrecy Burned my birth rite And bridges too Gathered fig leaves To hide from you Oh lord, have mercy, on my soul Been running, growing cold Uncover my, face Burry, my head, in your embrace. My clothing stained Split and torn Tilling the ground From which I was born hear my wages Screaming out Haunting deficit Broken waterspout I can’t stop Fighting for time Cheap addiction Cigarettes and wine what I would pay For a new name Sweetest freedom Dawning of day

Out to sea 05:25
When I think back makes me sigh acre of land planted in the country side crooked river lined with filbert trees fashioned my heart with eyes to see. Watch the sparrows rise up to take flight Triangles shapes fill up the sky They cant hide it Secret of the breeze Swift movement, without striving. I am pushed out to sea Dry land is far beneath Watch the coastal trees, shrink Like toy soldiers left out on the beach. If I called out would they be listening The stories of conquest and courageous men Locked in antique novels shelved in my head. Transcontinental paths, echo through my memory Steps that I take write my story. Let the stars come out show their face On the wet horizon made of waves. Constellations proved and clear Draw out your arms, bring me near. Let the thunder filled clouds gather around. I can trade my fear, pound for pound Let the winds howl their voices accusations too carry my boat home to you.

Peach 05:32
We all fight uphill battles, in valleys of our heads Running from our past, reaching for a breath. We all need a helping hand, welfare of mankind. Warm blanket of words, to be on our side. Come feel my skin I am flesh and blood Wild imperfections We all try to out run My heart like peach Injures so easily I believe Please help My unbelief. Help my unbelief We get lost in our dead ends, half awake needing a friend. hold us in the dark of night, hold our hands when we want to fight. Have a little faith in me When I don’t believe myself. Paper back book Left on the shelf. Been to the edge (Pull me out of the river) As far as I can see (When I am caught in the rain) I will never be perfect But I will always be free.

Oh death how took me a-way from my tent gathered items and the time that you lent strangers hands carry my furniture out swept up the floors cluttered with my own doubt Anxiety spilled out of the brown paper bag. stained all the floors and the chairs that we sat in. Marble night stands with my dusty old lamp lit the way of our hearts and feeble hands the piano like a summer fling, Sits out on the curb with no song left to sing. teach us to number our days measure all the moments we let pass away time is no respecter of men pulls us forward without consent so will my days be filled with love my eyes with grace? Or disappointing memories Of better days Oh if I could start again Wave all my rights Cut out my buried thoughts And stupid fights

Empty house 04:45
I was running with a pack of wolves Empty hearts companion of fools Broke my teeth on the chains that held My heart was broken, from what I felt Predators by day predators by night Circle around me, the company of fright. All alone thought I was free Hunting for food shaking at the knees Call me lovely ill never be alone Call me beautiful you be my home. The cold that I laid with, in my sleep Was a cold reminder, of all that I need Of simple truth simple love That won my heart when I was young So tried to work prove myself White knuckled scarred as hell. That I couldn’t sit shouldn’t sleep Tried my best to earn my keep. Call me lovely ill never be alone Call me beautiful you be my home. I will bury my tears where only you can see Behind doors lock and key. I was empty house filled with ghost Wandering up and down barren the coast. You taught my mouth to sing You taught my heart to believe. I was a dead man you see You came and revived me. You taught my arms, how to hold You taught my mouth, to be bold. I was a dead man you see you came and revived me.
