  • Lyrics

    I want to meet you where the river overflows your thoughts and dreams
    Take me to the fountain, behind the veil
    Where the light would shine
    In the cold remember

    There was a peace
    That came at night
    When I was your candle, Julie
    I was your light

    I was your candle, Julie
    You knew how to light me up
    Burning at both ends for you Julie
    I wasn't bright enough

    Ah, give me a break!

    I'm just a puddle on the ground
    And i'm the fake who feels no pain
    When you walk right through me

    There was a peace
    That came at night
    When I was your candle, Julie
    I was your alright
    When I was your light

    I was your candle, Julie
    You knew how to light me up
    Burning at both ends for you Julie
    I wasn't bright enough

    You burned me out
    and left me far away
    But you still burn me out today
    (You burned him out
    and left him far away)
    But you still burn me out today

    I was your candle, Julie
    You knew how to light me up
    Burning at both ends for you Julie
    I wasn't bright enough

  • Lyrics

    Sunshine,
    Wise me up to your ways
    Start me off with just your name
    I guessed & called you Desiree

    You're turnin' into Sunny
    Either way you're just a kid
    And i've seen you on the boulevard

    CHORUS
    The world can wait, just slow down
    Big city, slow down and let go
    And when you let go, and everything is lost
    You got a lot

    Sunset,
    She's lighting up a cigarette
    The visionary strategist
    She's pickin' out a costume dress
    The win is in your smile, and kid
    You give it to me every time

    The world can wait, just slow down
    Big city, slow down and let go
    And when you let go, and everything is lost
    You got a lot

    Painted on a canvass
    On an ordinary white
    Sunny drew from memory
    Her legacy in lights

    And she let go
    And when she let go
    The image that showed
    was the picture of heaven, the image of God

    The world can wait, just slow down
    Big city, slow down and let go
    And when you let go, and everything is lost
    You got a lot

  • Lyrics

    Hey, hey Mama
    When your world gets colder
    put your head on my shoulder
    I wanna get you...

    In the shadow of youth
    Where my dreams came to life
    Through the window of truth
    In the blink of an eye
    I grew fond of a girl
    Who was lonely and wild
    She’d been hurt by her father
    And I learned to stand up tall

    Hey, hey Mama
    When your world gets colder
    Put your head on my shoulder
    I wanna get you high

    In the shadow of truth
    Where my dreams go to die
    To a widow of youth
    Who had grown very high
    And grew fond of a girl
    Who was lonely and wise
    She’d been burned by her father
    And I learned to stand up tall

    Hey, hey Mama
    When your world gets colder
    Put your head on my shoulder
    I wanna get you high
    Hey, hey mama
    When you feel neglected
    Put your head on my chest
    I wanna get you high

    In the falls I get frustrated
    There is water coming hard
    And all your mistakes and bad excuses
    Are weighing into who you are

    Then I see a golden sunrise
    It brings a little hope & pulls us through
    The after burn of dying stars trails into the great unknown
    Like I've been dragging you around

    You are heavy, You should know I love you
    You are heavy, You should know I feel that weight
    You are heavy, You should know I love you
    You are heavy, And you should know I feel the weight

    Well I'll be coming down the mountainside
    With your name on my lips
    Cause you been burning through my veins
    To think I carried you when you were lame
    And then I see the golden sunrise
    It brings a little hope & pulls me through
    The after burn of dying stars trails into the great unknown
    Like I been dragging you around

    You are heavy, You should know I love you
    You are heavy, You should know I feel that weight
    You are heavy, You should know I love you
    You are heavy, And you should know I feel the weight

    Tell me how Evelyn and Vicky, yellow
    Haven't eased Abby's voice yet
    Harming Evie-Ann's vision
    You'd hear each and every yell

  • Lyrics

    Wedding bells ringing in the street
    Making noise
    Before you are the keeper
    Hold to the giver

    Strike your heart, The chord of faith
    Speak the truth, There is not another one
    You've got to get so down, don't you
    to look up and see the sun
    (Ann-Marie your time has come)
    Don't let people's hate scare you
    They'll steal your spirit
    And the search for you has just begun

    Megaphones, preach 'em to their knees
    It's a noise parade
    Instead of spreading your disease
    Find the cure

    Strike your heart, It's the chord of faith
    Speak the truth, There is not another one
    Hey, you've got to get
    so down, don't you
    to look up and see the sun
    (Ann-Marie your time has come)
    Don't let people's hate scare you
    They'll steal your spirit
    And the search for you has just begun

    Let down your hair
    Cause I wanna know who you are
    when no one is around
    Girl, do your worst
    Show 'em how to feel again
    The movement's in your heart

    Hey, you've got to get
    so down, don't you
    to look up and see the sun
    (Ann-Marie your time has come)
    Don't let people's hate scare you
    They'll steal your spirit
    And the search for you
    is just beginning
    (Ann-Marie, see the sun
    The search for you has just begun)

    I've been feeling so tired
    Been feeling so tired
    Feeling so tired when the sun shines
    I've been looking alive
    Been looking alive
    Looking alive on the outside

    I can't feel you heavy on mind
    When nothing's on my mind
    When I'm not thinking
    I can't see you lying in my bed
    When nothing's in my head
    When I'm not looking

    I've been wasting away
    Been wasting away
    Wasting away that you'd want me
    I'm just sand in a glass
    And I'm slipping so slow
    Well I'd like to believe that

    I can't feel you heavy on mind
    When nothing's on my mind
    When I'm not thinking
    I can't see you lying in my bed
    When nothing's in my head
    When I'm not looking

    I've been wasting away
    Been wasting away
    Wasting away that you'd want me

    This heavy feeling goin' round
    Got people hiding underground
    I sit in silence with your ghost
    I am afraid of you the most

    Cause you move just like a hurricane
    I search for shelter from the rain
    When you move just like a hurricane
    I can't get near you, babe

    These petty feelings got a way
    And come slipping from you, I should say
    You shake the bookcase from the wall
    But I'm not afraid of you at all

    Cause you move just like a hurricane
    I search for shelter from the rain
    When you move just like a hurricane
    I can't get near you, babe

    Cause I gotta know the places that you go
    To let your chaos grow in the arms of desire
    And I gotta know the reason that you cry
    There's safety in your eye, but your tears are like fire

    Cause you move just like a hurricane
    I search for shelter from the rain
    When you move just like a hurricane
    I can't get near you, babe

    Deep inside your heart
    Are you who you thought you’d be
    Beauty with age, nothing more
    Everything else is vanity

    But the man in the mirror
    When you’re cleaning your teeth
    When you’re plugging your hair
    Is easier to see

    I could never be what you want me to be
    There is not a cure for the problem you see
    I could never give what you wanted
    Though you thought you got the best of me

    I’m running out of time
    To leave a holy legacy
    Stealing the day from the night
    And i’m begging for harmony

    But dreams of a boy
    Are the same as a man
    Though his vision gets worse
    It’s easier to see

    I could never be what you want me to be
    There is not a cure for the problem you see
    I could never give what you wanted
    Though you thought you got the best of me

    Jenny, if I could see how the years were gonna change your smile
    Though I might linger for a little while
    If only to hold back your tears
    I’d press on cause i’ve seen how the new day uncovers remedies
    For the heartache you’ve suffered on account of me
    And the road will get narrow, we push on

    We write this story as we go
    We can’t take back the stones we throw
    We are immovable as one

    Jenny, when we are wise to the simple nature of our sin
    I believe we uncover new life again
    Now the road will get narrow, we push on

    We write this story as we go
    We can’t take back the stones we throw
    We are immovable as one

    I can still remember how the sun fell on your face
    The passage that you quoted when you said you’d never walk away

    We write this story as we go
    We can’t take back the stones we throw
    We are immovable as one

    Little flower speak in tongues I never hear
    With a vase for feet come walk with me
    Through the wooden door
    When it creaks cover your ears

    Let the yellow light
    Make yellow eyes with you

    Whisper in my ears
    Hide the things that I don’t like about you away
    Scream into my face
    Tell me how I never looks at you
    Makes you the loneliest
    But you love me anyway

    Run away with me
    When you can’t feel at all
    When you just don’t believe in me
    Underneath the stars
    When they shine don’t close your eyes
    Let the yellow dawn
    Awake your mind again

    Whisper in my ears
    Hide the things that I don’t like about you away
    Scream into my face
    Tell me how I never looks at you
    Makes you the loneliest
    But you love me anyway

    Turn around, my love
    When you can’t see the fear inside your eyes
    I know it’s there

    Whisper in my ear
    Hide the things that I don’t like about you away
    Scream into my face
    Tell me how I never looks at you
    Makes you the loneliest
    But you love me anyway

    Bella’s a loser and she’s living all alone
    The future is her home
    She’s getting into something with her eyes closed
    Leave off your glasses you can try to play the fool
    The future is a mine shaft

    It’s gonna get you down

    Our tears of silence flood the empty streets
    Where people used to sleep
    Now we have cleaned up all our violence
    Here living water is a scarce commodity
    The future of our children...

    It’s gonna get you down

    Tell me your story
    I wanna read upon your heart
    Tacit and boring
    Reads like an epic from the start

    “I don’t want to live forever, no
    I just want to find a good way to go
    I don’t want to beat a trending,
    Never ending road”

    Lend me a moment
    Something that pain cannot erase
    When you were younger
    Did you believe in dying days?

    Oh I want to know you
    Way beyond the veil of vision, far
    And deep in the pages
    Get lost in the space of distance stars

    I don’t want to live forever, no
    I just want to find a good way to go
    I don’t want to beat a trending,
    Never ending road

    Do you believe in dying days?
    Do you believe the stars could change?
    Do you?

    I don’t want to live forever, no
    I just want to find a good way to go
    I don’t want to beat a trending,
    Never ending road

    Prodigal daughter
    Won't you come back home
    Come back home & I will kiss you
    Jessi, the time has come to pick and choose
    I chose you, now come and get me

    When the curtain falls and laughter dies
    And people's eyes are looking
    On another muse
    I'll be missing you
    I'll miss you

    Like a child we bicker and fight
    Stay out of the light
    In dark shadows you show me your bad side
    Stars collide when the planets align
    It's a flaw in design, but you can't see it
    Show me your good side

    Woman, what's your story?
    Who's your father?
    He could show me

    In the veins of karma culture
    You can earn and honest living
    But if you lose what you've been giving
    Your heart is cheating,
    but you are blood in the veins of karma culture

    In the sun and the rain
    When we're really all the same
    Upon the righteous and the damned
    We feel the pains of karma culture

    Up on Mount Karma
    When I was younger
    My life flashed before my eyes
