Destiny awaits
Hiding in the undertow
I can feel the flames
I can taste the smoke
Illuminate the shadows
From the corners of my mind
Can’t stop my thoughts from bleeding
I can’t make it out this evening
What I’m trying to say is
I ain’t made for this place
Here where I stand
I laid bare my hand
In the hope
That I could cope
I gave up
You let go
Started slow
Ended cold
Now I’m crushed
And crawling out
I saw this coming for me a million miles away
Thought I could hold out long enough to change my fate
I feel I’m losing you and I don’t know what more I can do
If I just had a little more time, baby I know that we could get this right
Crying like you care that I’m leaving
This is the end and I don’t believe
Between love and hate the line is wide
Open space awaits
And I
Don’t mind
A little pain
Every once in a while
We started slow
Ended cold
Now I’m crushed
And crawling out

We stare in silence like a photograph
In a rusted out cage rolling a road that’s wet
There’s a chill in the air and a cry from below
A dark hopeless feeling deep in my bones
I can see that we’re lost when I close my eyes
Searching for meaning in it all at the scene of the crime
Have we gone too far
Is it too late
When did the light burn out
Were we ever even great
This is the last goodbye
Our final page
In anger we paid no mind to the warning signs
When the lighthouse fades
No one is safe
There’s no turning back now, we’re as good as done
Nothing left behind if there’s nothing in front
Our story fell apart every turn and twist
Cause sometimes you know what’s bad but still can’t resist
Have we gone too far
Is it too late
When did the light burn out
Were we ever even great
This is the last goodbye
Our final page
In anger we paid no mind to the warning signs
When the lighthouse fades
No one is safe

Born to Lose
04:14
|
|||
I knew that it was hopeless
When I laid eyes on you
All the pain that you held in your heart
And, there was nothing I could do
So I let you slip right through my hands
Pretended that I didn’t care
I was a boy then, now I’m a man
Looking worse for the wear
Remember the night we died
Under the desert moon
I was running from myself
You were running out of room
Foolish in our desire
Knowing we would have to choose
You were bored with yourself
And I was born to lose
In the morning when I woke up
And picked myself up off the floor
Saw a girl that I knew was the one
Well she ain’t that anymore
So forget about my problems
And forget about your past
If only you knew what it is you wanted
If only I had asked
Remember the night we died
Under the desert moon
I was running from myself
You were running out of room
Foolish in our desire
Knowing we would have to choose
You were bored with yourself
And I was born to lose

All These Tears
04:14
|
|||
I remember you and me
Holding hands and believing
That our love was true
All the times we had
And all of the things that we planned
Make it hard
To move on
Now that you’re gone
These memories fade
Each passing day
Goodbyes, bad breaks
I hope that someone treats you right
So I know there’s a reason for all these tears I’ve cried
Wish that I had been
Everything
You wanted
When you needed me to be
Cause soon enough I was stuck
Didn’t know what to do or say
Afraid to feel
Asleep at the wheel
When I woke
It was too late
My love remains
My heart it aches
A good life is hard to fake
I hope that someone treats you right
So I know there’s a reason for all these tears
When you find out love’s a state
We choose
Well, maybe there’s a place
In another life, in another time
Where we
Find our way
And make a change
But bad habits are so hard to break
Well, I hope that someone treats you right
So I know there’s a reason for all these tears
My love remains
My heart it aches
Goodbyes are hard to take
But, I hope that someone treats you right
So I know there’s a reason for all these tears I’ve cried

I’m alone again tonight
It’s been a long time baby
Since I’ve been right
I’m living anywhere but now
And somehow, maybe
Everywhere just wears me down
And now that I’m lost and can’t be found
How do I not lose my mind
With you starring back at me
Every time I close my eyes
Restless nights, got a restless soul
Got a blackened heart like an empty hole
And I wanna reach out to you
And I wanna get lost with you
And I…I want to forget you
How do I not lose my mind
With you starring back at me
Every time I close my eyes
Love is death, lust is blind
You’re starring back at me
Every time I close my eyes
How do I not lose my mind
With you starring back at me
Every time I close my eyes
Love is death, and lust is blind
You’re starring back at me
Every time I close my eyes

Ride
04:08
|
|||
Tonight sits in the corner like a ragged loner waiting on a
Line that always seems just outta reach, like a dream
Where the right words flow and the talk is cheaper
Than the lightening that glows underneath
The beat
It’s all that I’ve been living on, a steady diet singing songs ‘bout
Villains and heroes, and the different sorts you see in those
Tales about life and the way it could be if
Only the endings would turn out how we dreamed
I like to believe
Keeping all my current fears buried under troubled years
The weight starts to shift and I ask myself if
This is starting over, falling out, living large or breaking down?
I been through all of those and I can’t even figure out
How to dream
If I can’t even sleep?
The breath of the young breaks the salt of the old
There’s nowhere left to stand, no room in here to roam
If there’s a way outta this I ain’t gotta clue
Only know I’m trapped. Stuck inside a loop
That opens up to itself, but never shares the truth
I’m too tired for inspired words, so these’ll have to do
Why don’t you just ride?
Why don’t you just hold on
And ride

Love Again
03:36
|
|||
A sliver of light dances on the silence
The tear in the sky shades everything violet
The warmth of the wise whisper secrets through the wind
Follow the ending to where we begin
And I’ve
Walked long enough to know
Even the loneliest roads
Have someone where to go
And love
Love is just a song
Sometimes you listen
Sometimes you sing along
Pushing through the tide
We become the thread
Lifting the weight of the world inside
High overhead
In the sacred songs they sing
Be careful where you roam
Head-first into the mist
Far out and way past the ruins
Where the brave stand up
And the chorus sing in praise
The dawn rolls like a river
To a waterfall of cosmic waves
There’s nothing left to want
No reason for lies or greed
The only thing in the way is space
And love is all we need
And I’ve
Walked long enough to know
Even the loneliest roads
Have someone where to go
And love
Love is just a song
Sometimes you listen
Sometimes you sing along
And song
Is feeling in flow
Where timing and harmony
Align with soul
But heart
Heart it always wins
Sometimes you lose the battle
But you live to love again

We Could Be Love
03:23
|
|||
Caught your eye trying to hide
From my mind or from your past
We could be always or we could be never
The time to decide won’t last
Cause every now and then, the ground it shakes
And we all might drown here, but it never rains in LA
For the depths of your soul my breath I’d hold
Forever, we could be love
We could be love
We could be love
We could be love
If we want to
We could be love
We could be love
We could be love
If we want to
I’ll pretend not to notice
If you’ll pretend that you care
If all we are is water
Then why are we so scared
We could be love
We could be love
We could be love
If we want to
We could be love
We could be love
We could be love
If we want to

By the Shore
04:54
|

We drove all night like high school lovers
Pacific Coast Highway One
We said goodbye to the sky, hello to the cover
Hazy grey waves radiate
We’ve come to find a place we can hide from the California sun
Under the stars we rise
We run, run, run til we can’t touch the ground anymore
We just might make it to dance on the edge of the world
We run, run, run til we can’t touch the ground anymore
We just might make it to dance the end of the world
Eye to eye, heart to heart
Frozen like we were caught
Letting go, holding hands
Breaking waves, purple sand
And foam is where we lay
For what we seek is ours to take
We’ve come to find a place we can hide from the California sun
Under the stars we rise
We run, run, run til we can’t touch the ground anymore
We just might make it to dance on the edge of the world
We run, run, run til we can’t touch the ground anymore
You and me by the shore
We’ve come to find a place we can hide from the California sun
Under the stars we rise
We run, run, run til we can’t touch the ground anymore
We just might make it to dance on the edge of the world
We run, run, run til we can’t touch the ground anymore
We just might make it to dance the end of the world

Always You
03:10
|

When I realized
That you were the light
I’d been waiting for in the dark
All this time
My heart burned a fire
Like a million suns
I could not deny
You were the one
My love for you I will prove
For all eternity
In this life or the next
Endlessly without rest
Now my heart belongs to always you
In the night when it gets cold
In my arms, you I’ll hold
If you’re down and full of doubt
I’ll be there to lift you out
When you want some space alone
With the wind, I’ll be gone
Anytime you’re in need
Say my name, I’ll come running
My love for you I will prove
For all eternity
In this life or the next
Endlessly without rest
Now my heart belongs to always you
For love I would risk
For love I would try
And for your love, I give my life

We Are Love
03:59
|
|||
Cast away your weariness
And break my heart from this stone
We’ll keep all the streetlights lit
Wherever we go
They follow us home
After the night
Before the Sun
I am you and we are one
Listen with only a look to see
The sound vanishing point as we
Cross through fields and wander
Upon the skies
Higher we rise
Just as the stars
Burn above
I am you and we are love
Outside the storm
Inside the flame
And this fire
I hope it burns a little more
At least til we’re warm
Just as the stars
Pierce the night
I am you and we are light
In all these dreams I’m wide awake
All I see I can hold
I don’t fear the past or tomorrow, this I know
Forever more
Just as the stars
Burning above
I am you and we are love
Far beyond what we can see
Where time and space go to sleep
The line it loops from you to me
Nothing between
Just as the stars
Burn above
I am you and we are love
I am you and we are love
