LOST FOR A WHILE Built a little something With my own two hands I can’t remember how or when Don’t ask me where I’m going Don’t know where that may be So I think I’ll stay lost for a while Such a pretty house Such a pretty garden You made something for yourself But do you even care So why don’t you stay lost for a while Do you hear the rattle? The wind is forcing its way in As we lay our burdens down Feel murmurs on our skin Can you hear the whispers? There’s a child that lives within He knows his way around But doesn’t know where to begin Don’t ask me where I’m going Don’t know where that may be So I think I’ll stay lost I’ll stay lost for a while

Alma 03:19
ALMA She was born in September Oh Alma was her maiden name Learned to walk early on Was a hard child to tame Mother believed that If she played was to win Walking wasn’t good enough Was the start of a running game Run run run Run until you’ve won So Alma went full speed She loved all the praise Had the finest beating heart Could manage so much strain She ran so very fast Forgot to look around And before poor Alma knew it She was lost, couldn’t slow down Run run run Run until you’ve won Run run You can never be outdone She came about a boy He led a masquerade He called for her to join So Alma went full speed And ran through the parade Before old Alma knew it She had lost, could slow down Run run run Run until you’ve won Run run Run Run Run You can never be outdone Run run

Secrets 04:51
SECRETS Would you deny it if I came to you Leading a secret life seems so hard to do You can tell me about it, it’s no secret now Two sides to every story, but I still wonder how Do you think about it, think about it now? Do you think about it? Think about it. It was 2 am, we spoke on the phone That time that you had promised you’d drive me home You left me here waiting while you played your little game And told yourself some stories, not to bare any shame Did you think about it, do you still think about it now? Did you think about it, do you still think about it now? Do you know your secret’s out Do you know your secret’s out Do you know your secret’s I know it’s been years now and I’m out of time You may wonder where I’m coming from But I’m not fine All these little secrets built it up to this All these little secrets built it up to this All these little secrets

Butterfly 03:31
BUTTERFLY A malachite butterfly landed on a little girls’ head  The flapping of the butterfly’s wings caused a tornado in the little girls’ head The hands of a clock being turned back won’t stop time Some things can’t be undone no matter how hard you try The butterfly effect lives deep within her soul  Causing flowers to bloom and glaciers to melt in whole The hands of a clock being turned back won’t stop time The caterpillar sings  The caterpillar sings a melody you can’t decide Spare me a pair of wings And I’ll sing you a lullaby Stand up tall and gaze up to the sky Why don’t you spare me a pair of wings And I’ll find you a butterfly Stand up tall and gaze up to the sky Stand up tall Stand up tall to the sky
5.
Dust 04:34
DUST A drought struck Edinborough And all the Southern Plains High winds and dust Left us praying for some rain Billowing clouds would darken skies For days on end We’d clear the dust with hope to mend We’d clear the dust So in this No Man’s Land called home Where we built and built in vain Packed our bags and headed north In hopes for better days With our bags we walked for all but thirty days The dust would often blow ‘till it was middle day We’d clear the dust We were its prey Thick as snow We were its prey Hollow as an echo Muddled in the blow Begging for the rain Begging for the rain To come our way Bury me out in the lone Prairie In the twilights purple haze Bury me deep oh bury me for I’ll be here When the grass’ll grow And the flowers will bloom in May When the grass’ll grow And the flowers will bloom in May
6.
Windmill 03:37
WINDMILL I climbed up on the golden hill To see the city lights Hoping time would just stay still Be watchful of the night I thought I heard a whisper Turned around and not a sound But an old, abandoned windmill Standing solemn, without care Dear old friend is this the land you watch upon as you dance Each season spinning free with the wind Tells me of the stories The sails that lost their way I should be heading home now But he makes me want to stay I listen to him closely All the old forgotten worries And the tales of distant memories A whole world within a day Dear old friend is this the land you watch upon as you dance Each season spinning free with the wind Each season spinning free Time will grow and you’ll be free It’ll soon be in the dreams of all the kids who run to play on the hill This is the land you watch upon as they dance Each season spinning free with the wind Each season spinning free

Master 02:53
MASTER I can see it crawling Hear it knocking Feel it creeping with its cunning ways When I close my eyes and lay to rest I think of all the pretty stories that unfolded in this pretty mess. It seeks to be the master To be faster Cares not of disasters it leaves on its' way So when I hold you tight against my chest I think of all the horror stories you’ll be left alone to profess It turns its eye blindly Oh it is hungry Makes you feel as though you are free So when I close my eyes and lay to rest I think of all the little ways that I can summon you, I confess. I know what you want So you can take it and flaunt it Play my game and I’ll haunt you Be the flame that will taunt you I take what I need yeah I’m the first one to please Oh I’m a happy disease that clings around and will tease you I can hear it mocking Feel it stalking See you weeping as it comes your way So when I hold you tight against my chest I think of all the horror stories you’ll be left alone to profess
8.
SOMETHING FISHY There’s a river that runs through me In the middle I must stay With rushing waters on one side The other stale and gray Yet the current often draws me From its course, hard breakaway White waters soon lure me in When I’ll flow You’ll know Keep a weather eye on the moon Now the riverbank lives by me The stream just brought me there And in the glazing summer sun In the air, in the air A shadow rose and rose above me And the wind, with its wings Oh the wind it whispered in my ears Oh come, come fly with us Come join us for a while Don’t fool yourself Don’t fool yourself Don’t save yourself from all the tears When I’ll flow you’ll know Keep a weather eye on the moon
9.
IN THE SHADES Let me chip away your shell Let it crumble down Fade into the ground See the rising water swell Let it flood you down Watch the passing clouds I’m the thought you want to hear That will make you climb Till you disappear So come on down the water’s clear And look past the sign That calls out your fear Meet me somewhere Somewhere nice in the shade Went outside and dug a hole Without knowing what I was looking for Found a bird’s nest in the soil Whispered tales of lust As we traded souls Meet me somewhere Somewhere

Lighthouse 04:13
LIGHTHOUSE A mountain stands with noble peak Against the greater tide Pacing forward, shedding fright Searching for a place to hide Spiral stairs lead to the skies Where guides a moving light For empty vessels left in fright Searching for some peace of mind Oh come find shelter Your shadow clings to me tonight Oh memories black and white Upon the ocean here I lie Searching for some peace of mind
