1.Run And Don't Stop
Desert rain is falling
A southern cold July
Do it or don't do it
Don't wait forever for the right time
Do it, run to it.
Run, don't stop it
Although I'm barely walking
Suffering
Run, don't stop it
I am a tarnished locket
That holds you within
Busted bones are running
Catalyst explosion
My horse stolen, my ride done
Do it, run to it
Let them sit back and watch ya
Run, don't stop it
Although I'm barely walking
Suffering
Run, don't stop it
I am a tarnished locket
That holds you within
The day they stole the horse I started running
Loving motivation, take my apathy
Run, don't stop it
Although I'm barely walking
Suffering
Run, don't stop it
I am a tarnished locket
That holds you within
Sanity can keep its distance from me
The day they stole the horse I started running
2.Revival
Let's get out of here.
Walking outside and everything is feeling right.
Sounding like a hymn that cuts in your soul like a lifetime
flashing by your brand new eyes.
It's the first time in so long that you see, that you see you in
the mirror...
We're gonna make it out.
I won't forget this place.
I won't forget you.
Let the revival rattle me and open my eyes. Open my eyes...
It's so good...
It's been a bombs and guns and fire kind of season
And oh I need a reason for all of my bleeding tonight.
I'm gonna break it out. I'm gonna make a scene if I don't write.
The electric light we are tonight.
We're gonna make it out.
I won't forget this place.
I won't forget you.
Let the revival rattle me and open my eyes. Open my eyes...
It's so good...
You're gonna make it out.
You're gonna make it out of here.
Let the revival rattle me and open my eyes. Open my eyes...
It's so good...
I won't forget this place.
3.Prove It
'Good evening' she says to herself with haughty eyes.
The motive lies behind them.
He walks in proudly, loosens his tie,
So satisfied to keep walking past all the people you used to
know.
I say hello. 'Please to meet you she said, although I knew her
some years ago.
What are you trying to prove？
What are you trying to lose as you condescend through the room
With your subtle grip on the ruins of old？
What are you trying to prove？
What are you doing talking bad on those you knew
With your subtle grip on the ruins of ten years ago and
counting.
So just stop it. Hey, take it easy.
It's not hard to see you've had one too many.
And do you kiss your mother with that mouth you have talking at
me？
And do you think you try to hard？
You're holding on to things forgotten.
So how are you？ I am sincerely asking about you.
What are you trying to prove？
What are you trying to lose as you condescend through the room
With your subtle grip on the ruins of old？
What are you trying to prove？
What are you doing talking bad on those you knew
With your subtle grip on the ruins of ten years ago and
counting.
So slow down. You don't have anything to prove so quit the
self-aggrandizing.
What are you trying to prove？
What are you trying to lose as you condescend through the room
With your subtle grip on the ruins of old？
What are you trying to prove？
What are you doing talking bad on those you knew
With your subtle grip on the ruins of ten years ago and
counting.
Did I nail
Did I nail it
Nail it
Yeah I nailed
Yeah I nailed it
Nailed it.
4.Old Love
I had a dream that could save my life.
Airplane hands in the wind in a vintage time.
I want to love like my grandfather loved his wife,
But I got some problems with the way I tick.
We are addicted to the world and we want more of it.
My generation heard of old love and commitment, but did it
stick？
Based on what you've heard, does it work that old pastime love？
Because I can't help but observe the sinking ships just giving
up.
So come on give me that old love. I just want to try and make
that work.
Come on give me that old love.
Carving their names into sap bleeding songs.
The movie script it lasted sixty-six years long.
And there was hurt and there was death and there was friction
but better yet,
An adventurous story as they told it.
But I've got some problems with the way I tick.
We are addicted to the world and we want more of it.
My generation heard of old love and commitment, but did it
stick？
Based on what you've heard, does it work that old pastime love？
Because I can't help but observe the sinking ships just giving
up.
So come on give me that old love. I just want to try and make
that work.
Come on give me that old love.
Based on what you've heard, does it work that old pastime love？
Because I can't help but observe the sinking ships just giving
up.
So come on give me that old love. I just want to try and make
that work.
Come on give me that old love. Is this chance or a red alert？
So come on give me those bright eyes. Teach me how to widen
mine.
No I don't believe in the lies that it's not alive.
I had a dream that could save my life.
5.200,000
Idiot of fearless I confess I am.
Naive...Yeah I dream American.
I swing with no net on that trapeze.
Beats, beats, beats, beats me.
You crash on a couch within my head.
Bumming around, and don't pay rent.
I've been in danger for you for so long.
So come on...
There are not one but two hundred thousand miles on my car,
To be with you I've driven far,
but I loved you that much.
Yes I made those morning coffee drinks,
At four AM for a ring, but I loved you that much.
I stood up to that gang by myself when they messed with you,
I had no help, But I loved you that much.
And remember the time I wrote that song and many folks sang
along？
Yeah I loved you that much.
May I cut into your plans and cause a ruckus？
Let's break some records in some books.
You'll never pop until your shook up.
If a picture paints a thousand words,
how come I'm speechless and full of nervous.
All I got is _____.
So some one...
There are not one but two hundred thousand miles one my car.
To be with you I've driven far,
But I loved you that much.
Yes I made those morning coffee drinks,
at four AM for a ring, but I loved you that much.
I stood up to that gang by myself when they messed with you,
I had no help, but I loved you that much.
And remember the time I wrote that song and many folks sang
along？
Yeah I loved you that much.
Older times are out of sight.
I thought about it and I kinda died.
A kid and kite, a flickering light.
I thought about it, I thought about and I kinda died.
Because all good things come to an end.
But the end will be the dirt between us.
The end will be the dirt will be the end.
I won't settle down, I won't settle down.
6.Just For A Moment Forget Who You Are
Coming up no plans
Betty AV, Monahans. Little in a football town
Waiting for some right to come around.
Praying for release
Bottle Rockets in the streets.
Never really had a dad, no all that you had was your hope...
Keep your eyes open where you roam
Because you never know when your life's about to change.
Just for a moment start to forget about the scars
And forget who you think you are.
Don't say another word.
You're meant for greatness.
The mirror's her nemesis from insecure accomplices.
And crooked blokes in disguise messed you up behind your eyes.
Now you're scared to talk, scared to dance.
And sick of clichés about second chances,
But it's time to live or time to fade.
Somewhere in this place there is hope.
Keep your eyes open where you roam
Because you never know when your life's about it change.
Just for a moment start to forget about the scars
And forget who you think you are.
Don't say another word.
You're meant for greatness.
Just for a moment start to forget about the scars
And forget who you think you are.
All the fear within your world, you can take it...
And greatness isn't what you think
It's not being up on that silver screen.
It's not convincing people you don't fall apart.
It's just loving and serving and being who you are.
You were made in an image of greatness.
Just for a moment start to forget about the scars
And forget who you think you are.
Don't say another word.
You're meant for greatness.
Just for a moment start to forget about the scars
And forget who you think you are.
All the fear within your world, you can take it...
7.Circa 46
I started moving so I can sleep at night.
I figure exhaustion will shut my eyes.
And I'm as country as a guitar slide but I can't ride, no not
tonight.
No my head's preoccupied with counting sheep jumping over my
peace of mind.
Life will write the words, but you choose your own melody.
Yes, life has given me hurt, but I choose my own melody.
And sometimes it's that sad, sad song I'm singing all my day
long.
I'm just trying, trying to find the right notes.
There must be a fire in me because I can see my breath.
Feel like a Miles Davis style solo circa '46.
Still I write down the sacred things you show to me
Because my mind forgets what my heart once did see...
Life will write the words, but you choose your own melody.
Yes, life has given me hurt, but I choose my own melody.
And sometimes it's that sad, sad song I'm singing all my day
long.
I'm just trying, trying to find the right notes.
You can build a bridge in a song but you'll burn down the ones
in your life.
Life will write the words, but you choose your own melody.
Yes, life has given me hurt, but I choose my own melody.
And sometimes it's that sad, sad song I'm singing all my day
long.
I'm just trying, trying to find the right notes.
A misty eyed stranger said the songs words inspire.
If they really knew would it break their hearts...
That there's dirt that my soul keeps,
If there's any good in me it comes from the grace of my father.
8.Underrated
I've been working in the city. I've been working at night.
I've been working in the city. So dark, no light.
And I know, I know everything will be alright but I,
I'm a little bit crazy right now.
And I feel so underrated.
Have you ever felt this underrated？
And I'm just sick of all things Underrated.
All I want, all I need is a chance.
Underrated. I don't want to be more than me
I'm just sick of things underrated...
We'd appreciate it.
I'm a little in motion. I'm a little out of line.
My ear's on the phone with Jesus and my eyes are angry and
blinded.
And I know, I know the last will be first in that line but I,
I'm a little bit crazy right now.
And I feel so underrated.
Have you ever felt this underrated.
And are you sick of it？
Underrated.
All I want, all I need is a chance.
Underrated.
I don't want to be more than me I'm just sick of things...
See the cuts on my hands？
They hurt from working.
Will I ever be deserving？
Oh, help my eyes to see and not feel so underrated.
I don't want to be one of those
That stares at all the questions while the open doors they
close.
I just want to get out there.
So with a humble heart, teach me some lessons.
Show me to do my part in the place you have me standing.
As I meet with humility, is it the injustices or pride that's
killing me？
I've been here all day, and just one denarius.
If I must boast, let it be that of my weaknesses.
Humility, you have my attention.
You know, you're better off to be underrated.
All I want, all I need is a chance.
Underrated. I don't want to be more than me
I'm just sick of things underrated.
All I want, all I need is a chance.
9.Soldiers
Since I was a child
I've always loved to sing
I told my teacher, it's what I'm going to be
And this road I'm on, sketchy it may be
Greens chances
To beat the odds the devil has for me
And I'm never going to miss a beat
'Cause brother, I'm a soldier
No, I'm never going to miss a beat
'Cause I got to be a soldier
And in heaven, maybe he
Is smiling down on me
And behind those doors of my heart I am crying
Epic warfare and spiritual
When out of nowhere
The black cannonballs
Today, we broke down
Caught wind of a tragedy
In the same hour
Tonight, I, I won't sing about this
'Cause I'm never going to miss a beat
'Cause brother, I'm a soldier
No, I'm never going to miss a beat
'Cause the Lord made me a soldier
And in heaven, maybe he
Is smiling down on me
But behind those doors of my heart I am crying
And in the end, the life we lead
Would it have made a difference
In a world unseen？
Oh, oh, oh, oh
So we're never going to miss a beat
'Cause brother, we are soldiers
Yeah, we're never going to miss a beat
'Cause we got to be soldiers
And in heaven, maybe he's
Smiling down on me
But behind those doors of my heart, I am crying
If I said it was easy always, I'd be lying
Today, behind those doors of my heart, I am crying
If I said it was easy, always I'd be lying
But behind the doors of my heart...
10.The Rescuing Type
And if I could go back...
Was heaven abound on the other side of them train tracks？
I kicked the rocks as I watched you leaving.
Thinking of how I could save you...
And how close was your window...
I should have gone through it.
I should have been a roman.
Oh how I know it...
Be the rescuing type.
Be reckless. Be bright.
Do you sometimes hear
That heroic heart beating behind bars？
Yes that question is mine.
Am I that rescuing type？
So shook up.
Many a thing I've seen but never seen a thing
so messed up as someone in need and I stutter,
I can't get up.
Reminds me how you would like to sing
But don't for fear of them blue notes.
Should have gone through it, should have been a roman.
Oh how I know it...
Be the rescuing type.
Be reckless. Be bright.
Do you sometimes hear
That heroic heart beating behind bars？
Yes that question is mine.
Am I that rescuing type？
Break my heart in two so I can see what I'm supposed to do.
I've covered it up layers black and blue...
Open it up, let me see that blood red truth.
Break my heart.
I'm ready to start to be the rescuing type.
Be reckless. Be bright.
Do you sometimes hear
That heroic heart beating behind bars？
Yes that question is mine.
Am I that rescuing type...
11.Scrapbook
This scrapbook on my lap,
a soft head on my shoulder.
Behind these plastic pages
are some fadin' photographs.
Peculiar fashion styles.
in the corner there's a baby,
behind the infant's smile
is a heart I recognize.
What was I doing then？
Learnin' to take some steps,
walking through adolescence
some thousand miles away.
And up in heaven
God called a meeting.
And in the space that was next to mine,
He chose to write your name.
I never understood our weather here
or how together life and death must dance
But I'll forever be most baffled by the subtle glances from who
I landed.
What are the chances？
There's the place where the story about us started and took the
stage.
It's been so many days.
But now the brakes are starting to crack.
Feels a little weird looking back
'Cause some things have changed,
some things have died.
But somehow you've stayed the same all this time
I never understood our weather here
or how together life and death must dance.
But I'll forever be most baffled by the subtle glances from who
I landed.
What are the chances？
Some will say that it goes away
I will run and chase it down through that rolling thunder and
rain
I will risk myself and all it's 'bout to be, in that storm.
Either way, I'm gonna stay.
either way, I'm gonna stay.
Though the waves try to pull me away,
Either way I'm gonna stay.
12.Ashes Made Of Spades
Shook up and beat down.
Hallelujah.
From bad cards that I was dealt.
Hallelujah.
So I spoke a match that burned them down.
Hallelujah.
So light it up.
Ashes made of spades are going through the air.
The embers and the flames are going through the cares.
The sickness of the past, let it burn back there.
The ashes made of spades are going through the air.
Dodging rocks. You're a street light.
Hallelujah.
London fog on a dreary night...
You took a hit, they could not take your light.
Hallelujah.
So light it up.
Ashes made of spades are going through the air.
The embers and the flames are going through the cares.
The sickness of the past, let it burn back there.
The ashes made of spades are going through the air.
Stranded in the streams without a branch to rescue me and pull
me from the tormenting.
Will I die here in the water？
I closed my eyes so I could see then there grew a tree from my
belief.
Now here I stand with two dry feet, and there my past dies in
the water.
Oh My Light.
All My Life.
