Overgrown (Acoustic)
03:32

|
No, I can’t back down
Although I’m feeling overgrown
Got a little high off the ground
There’s an aching in my bones
I’m ready; I can’t wait to see what lies ahead
And I’m straining and reaching for the release
Now I’m headed out of town
To walk among a different crowd
Gotta handle all of the doubts
I’ll leave my head up in the clouds
I’m ready; I can’t wait to see what lies ahead
And I’m straining and reaching for the release
I’m feeling overgrown
I’m feeling overgrown
But I can’t back down
I’m ready; I can’t wait to see what lies ahead
And I’m straining and reaching for the release
I’m feeling overgrown
I’m feeling overgrown

Anchorage (Acoustic)
04:29
|

|
We were set to sail towards paradise
You blocked the harbor, put it on ice
What am I meant to do? What am I meant to prove to you?
What am I meant to learn? What am I meant to earn?
I think I’m done waiting for a change
And I feel like I’m slowly losing ground
Iced in this old anchorage I’m bound
You and I love, well we gotta get it together
So help me please get far away from here
So help me please get far away
I lost myself in here once or twice
And I tried so hard to heed your advice
Come along and help me out, come along and help me out of here
Come along and take me away, just don’t leave me be
I think I’m done waiting for a change
And I feel like I’m slowly losing ground
Iced in this old anchorage I’m bound
You and I love, well we gotta get it together
So help me please get far away from here
So help me please get far away
I think I’m done waiting, waiting
And I feel like I’m losing my ground
Iced in this old anchorage I’m bound
You and I love, well we gotta get it together
So help me please get far away from here, hey
Help me please get far away

I don’t have the strength to fight
Trapped in the weight of a landslide
And you said you’re easy, and you said you’re light
Are you the one who can make this right?
Don’t take me out of the running
Don’t take me out of the loving
Don’t take me out of the fray, out of the fray
But I don’t have any answers to the questions that are plaguing me
I don’t have the reason; no I don’t have the rhyme
Can I retake my first steps?
Or dare I pray away my regrets?
I know you aren’t far away
I’ve got no choice but to stand and say
Don’t take me out of the running
Don’t take me out of the loving
Don’t take me out of the fray, out of the fray
But I don’t have any answers to the questions that are plaguing me
I don’t have the reason; no I don’t have the rhyme
And if I just let go, would you break that fall?
Surrendering and letting go, would you break the fall?
Come break my fall
Don’t take me out of the running
Don’t take me out of the loving
Don’t take me out of the fray, out of the fray
But I don’t have any answers to the questions that are plaguing me
I don’t have the reason; no I don’t have the rhyme
Take me higher, higher love

I’ve been cynical and distant for far too long
The minimum won’t cut it anymore
And you stand unopposed to change me, I suppose
Yes you stand unopposed
Now that I’m willing to try again
There’s a higher love that I should embrace
And as I cross that threshold, you’re matching my pace
And it’s not happenstance I find myself in your hands
No it’s not happenstance
And you stand unopposed to change me, I supposed
Yes you stand unopposed
Now, now, now that I’m willing to try again
There’s a higher love that I should embrace
And as I cross that threshold, you’re matching my pace
And I’m thankful of this I’m sure
You are mine and I am yours
I’m thankful of this I’m sure
You never locked the door
Never thought to lock the door
No you never locked the door, yeah
There’s a higher love that I should embrace
And as I cross that threshold, you’re matching my pace
Towards a higher a love

The Strand (Acoustic)
02:53
|
|||
|
I never thought I’d be crazed
You never plan for those days
For I’m a castaway
I’m dying for an escape
I’m dying for an escape
‘Cause in the silence my mind drifts back to you
I can’t defy it; the current’s tried and true
But now I’m stranded on the strand
Praying to angels made of sand
I’m not the type to make demand
But Lord, I need a helping hand
Oh Lord, I need a helping
‘Cause in the silence my mind drifts back to you
I can’t defy it; the current’s tried and true
It takes me back, and back, and back, back, back, back
It takes me back, and back, and back, back, back, back
It takes me back, and back, and back, back, back, back
It takes me back, and back, and back, back, back, back
‘Cause in the silence my mind drifts back to you
I can’t defy it; the current’s tried and true
It takes me back, and back, and back, back, back, back
It takes me back, and back, and back, back, back, back

It can be so hard to make the truth appear
To wring out your heart and make it sound sincere
But I have been vying for time around you
Just hoping that I can finally break through
Your timidness with defiance
Take a shot in the dark
We don’t need to have all the answers
We just need to proceed
You can keep on riding fences
Or you can take a chance on me
So what do you want, a more elaborate display?
My ruffled feathers won’t hesitate
We reached convictions without trials
One of us is in denial
C’mon, C’mon timidness meet defiance
With a shot from the dark
We don’t need to have all the answers
We just need to proceed
You can keep on riding fences
Or you can take a chance on me
And it might be cavalier
I just wanna know you dear
And I promise it’s sincere
Just take a shot in the dark
We don’t need to have all the answers
We just need to proceed (timidness)
You can keep on riding fences (meet defiance)
Or you can take a chance on me

Patchwork (Acoustic)
03:59
|
|||
|
Well, I’m gone today
I’m out of my mind
You sent me away
You’re looking for a better find
Other than this antique
You think me breakable
Would you hear me speak
Through it all?
Hey, I’m driven in a constant marching
To the rhythm of your bleeding heart
And it takes my own beyond retreating here
Where you see what I see my dear
Stubborn you
What a match for stubborn me
From my point of view
You’re not my enemy
We’re a patchwork anthem
When we see eye to eye
When I’m not a phantom
By your side
Hey, I’m driven in a constant marching
To the rhythm of your bleeding heart
And it takes my own beyond retreating here
Where you see what I see my dear
I’m seamlessly in the promise of you, seamlessly
I’m seamlessly in the promise of you, seamlessly
Yeah, I’m driven in a constant marching
To the rhythm of your bleeding heart
And it takes my own beyond retreating here
Where you see what I see my dear
Oh, where you see what I see my dear
Where you see what I see my dear

Mad (Acoustic)
03:44
|
|||
|
This is the song of a dreamer who’s been
Playing it down
The thoughts don’t cease, but they don’t get out
They’ve been waiting til now
‘Cause you are the one who makes this worth it
Who makes this fun
And if it ached, and if it burned
I’d keep on waiting for you love
‘Cause I- I’ve heard enough and I’ve seen that love
And I go mad for it
And I’ll admit the song is corny but I
Won’t change a sound
I’ll give you everything honey I know
I can’t let you down
‘Cause you are the one who makes this worth it
Who makes this fun
And if it ached, and if it burned
I’d keep on waiting for you love
‘Cause I- I’ve heard enough and I’ve seen that love
And I go mad for it
You know I do
Oh yeah, I dream of you dancing in that gown
Oh it’s true, I dream of you dancing in that gown
Oh it’s true, I dream of you just dancing in that gown

Two Cents (Acoustic)
03:33
|
|||
|
Have you come here to barter
Your two cents for mine?
I don’t need a handout
I’d rather decline
Can you hear the dissonance
Through the walls of your mind?
Can you see the spectacle
You’re leaving behind?
So please, take a step back for me
It’s easy, take a step back for me
Yeah, just take a step back for me
My thoughts have gotten heavy
You’re careless with the weight of your words
They disregard the souls beneath
Cause you only see a herd
Can you hear the dissonance
Through the walls of your mind?
Can you see the spectacle
You’re leaving behind?
So please, take a step back for me
It’s easy, take a step back for me
Yeah, just take a step back for me
Take it slow, it’s a long, long day
You should know people hear what you’re saying
Just take a step back for me
There’s plenty of misery
Don’t pay its way with your two cents
It’s easy
So please, take a step back for me
It’s easy, take a step back for me
Yeah, just take a step back for me

Echolalia (Acoustic)
03:27
|
|||
|
Promise or tragedy
Inherited throughout our history
Nurtured or smothered
The lost generation made another
And another
It goes and it comes again
A cycle of echolalia-olalia
How can we put an end
To vicious echolalia-olalia?
How many brothers
Are taking up arms like their fathers?
And how many sisters
Come afflicted with addictions from their mothers
From their mothers?
It goes and it comes again
A cycle of echolalia-olalia
How can we put an end
To vicious echolalia-olalia?
Oh, it goes and it comes again
A cycle of echolalia-olalia
How can we put an end
To vicious echolalia-olalia?
Echolalia-olalia

I hide behind a makeshift confidence
And jury-rigged my very circumstance
Stability is just posture
We never needed much to prosper
But I hate to see so many fall apart
They lack the belief that they can always start over
I can attest to the truth behind the cliché
We’re all afraid of shame
And I’m finding out that we’re all built the same
But some are better at pacifying pain
Don’t let your demons try to bury you
Someone will help to see you through
But I hate to see so many fall apart
They lack the belief that they can always start over
I can attest to the truth behind the cliché
We’re all afraid of shame
So don’t hide away
Don’t fear a healing influence
And bend before you break
After all it’s a makeshift confidence
I can attest to the truth behind the cliché
We’re all afraid, we’re all afraid
So don’t hide away
Don’t fear a healing influence
And bend before you break
After all it’s a makeshift confidence

Unsaid/Undone (Acoustic)
04:03
|
|||
|
He packed enough his days repeated
He had it all, he could not be defeated until
Until he saw the unsaid/undone
Unsaid/undone he’s not the only one
Who saw the unsaid/undone
Unsaid/undone he’s not the only one
Who’s stuck in the days repeating
He bought love to bury in a briefcase
But he dropped the haul like a burden in a foot race until
Until he saw the unsaid/undone
Unsaid/undone he’s not the only one
Who saw the unsaid/undone
Unsaid/undone he’s not the only one
Who’s stuck in the days repeating
It never had to be this way
You never had to run away
It never had to be this way
Don’t leave the unsaid/undone
Unsaid/undone you’re not the only one
Who leaves the unsaid/undone
Unsaid/undone you’re not the only one, only one
Who leaves the unsaid/undone
Unsaid/undone he’s not the only one, only one
Who leaves the unsaid/undone
Unsaid/undone he’s not the only one
Who’s stuck in the days repeating

Honesty Hour (Acoustic)
03:37
|
|||
|
I guess I couldn’t keep this up
The heavy wait came abrupt
And I was starting to choke
Of course I went for honesty
The kind that makes you wanna scream
The Lord knows I made myself a joke
For I am ahead of myself
But I think that something else was pulling me
Closer to you and it’s funny how it turned out
I saw it coming and wondered what it meant for me
It takes just one look at you
I see your eyes are full of truth
That I have been kneeling to know
The best intentions remain
But heaven knows that you can’t feel the same
I’m sorry that I’ve handed you a mess
For I am ahead of myself
But I think that something else was pulling me
Closer to you and it’s funny how it turned out
I saw it coming and wondered what was meant to be
Could you hold on enough for me?
I don’t deserve to be asking
But could you hold on enough for me?
I’ll come together slowly
If you hold on enough for me
I’ll be the man I am meant to be
Could you hold on enough for me?
Oh please, hold on enough for me
