Hold On To Love
03:39
|
|||
|
We're all terrified of getting old
got that wrinkled up skin and a warn out soul
was a man on the corner said he had seen it all
aint nobody there to save him when from grace he falls
he told me don't waste away
your life as i have done
the older you become
the clearer you'll see
he said hold on to love
and raise your children to become
the type of man your father was

Until Dawn Cuts Gentle
04:06
|

|
When will I die
i hope its not too soon
what will it matter to me if im gone
will i be aware
that there are people who still live
and up in heaven
who is writing all them songs?
Caryy me
until the dawn cuts gentle
if only just to drown out my heart
comfort me, with your sweet conviction
watch ver me
cause im breaking apart

First things first
lets cut to the chase
3 years without booze and I still can't save face
i thought i could run from the wretch Id become
and avaoid falling victim to the lust of its gun
but instead its pressed firm to the side of my neck
now it's loaded and heavy
my palms damp with sweat
i carry it softly don't wanna startle them yet
cause when i pull the trigger
there's no turning back

Use The Pain
04:50
|
|||
|
Felt as if Id dug a hole and dove right in
head first
without a thought as to how much that leaps
was gonna hurt me
i felt as if i had no one to love me
the way that i Know i should
truth is my heart can't handle
to much of something that is good
i need the pain
to keep my feet from running out from underneath my frame
i need the hurt to see the beauty
that all my shame contains
i need the light of life to blind me
carry me through my darkest days
as much as i need love
as much as i need love
i sure could use the pain

amidst and among the ones who can't bite our tongues

I Thank God For You

|
All my old friends
they're all dead and gone
and the days aren't getting
less hard
i wake up
to the simple sounds of hate
and lord it is
wearing on my heart
but i know she don't mean it
that don't make things easy on me
i was a bastard in my past yea thats for certain
but she stood at my side, every time id need
so i aint goin nowhere
without you by my side
you may have lost your memory
of all our good times
but i haven't yet lost mine

Mother's Daughter
04:32
|
|||
|
Her father always warned her
don't go chasing lovers
you're worth more than any other simple piece of naked ski
and if you settle for a man
who aint got the fight inside him
well you might earn yourself a prize that nobody wants to win
your minds as pretty as the wind
you get your smile from your mother
if he don't tell you that he loves you
keep your heart safe for another
cause your your mamas daughter
there aint no better catch than that

Song Built On Sorrow
02:21
|
|||
|
Her walls are as strong
as a song built on sorrow
her engines run wild
on time that is borrowed
and she's taken me this far
whats one more tomorrow?

Look After Your Brother
04:31
|
|||
|
I heard you lost your mother
I feel like I just saw her
and i know there aint no words to make this any better
just be sure, to look after your brother
I know that heaven does exist
aint no other explanation that could ease the pain or make any sense
i hope that it does exist,
and for whatever reason
she was called home by them
