Baby its only us for a moment I want to whisper in your ear I want to whisper in your soul All of the high notes you want to hear I've been waiting so long just to see you The full resolution every part Every movement deep in the dark Every movement deep in your Secret love song in your pocket No one has to know Plug these headphones in your socket Ill put on a show Baby it just ain't right without you Shuffling songs until i found you When we communicate through lyric You're touching my spirit yeah Secret love song in your pocket No one has to know Plug these headphones in your socket Ill put on a show Secret love song inside joking Deep inside your heart Give me some of what you're smoking Ill give you the stars Secret love song in your pocket No one has to know Plug these headphones in your socket Ill put on a show Secret love song inside joking Deep inside your heart Give me some of what you're smoking Ill give you the stars

I'm back in the magic city I don't even know what hit me The sights and sounds and history Making history in this living Flying homeward above the treeline Light coming from the valley My friend i have missed your variety Youve always been my society I'm back in the 'ham Way down in Alabam' You don't understand So come on and take my hand I'm back in the magic city This magic was always with me To all of my friends who miss me All my loves and all my family I'm back in the 'ham Way down in Alabam' You don't understand So come on and take my hand Birmingham That's my jam Ain't no town like Birmingham

Grass 04:31
lyrics

The grass is always greener But you don't see the insects You don't see the fungus Rotting in the ground Peat bogs filled with pressure Waiting for a diamond taking much too long and You're chasing distant sounds Dropping lies, dropping loads off your mind i do suppose Your past mistakes between your toes Washing off on shorelines The grass is always greener My god you should have seen her Roll it up and watch it burn Burn it up to forget Across state lines and regrets You don't need this hot mess Forever run away Dropping lies, dropping loads off your mind i do suppose Your past mistakes between your toes Washing off on shorelines

Doot Doot Doo Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot Doo 03:18
lyrics

Every conversation Leaves her waiting Best to not leave her on read All her medication Just cant take it When she gets inside her head But this girl comes out To the world and shouts Aint nobody puttin me down today And just for a second She is blessed and she just keeps on singing Doot doot... Every revelation Brings her closer To the burning heart of truth She is not obsessed She is not a mess She is proud to be where she has been She will shrink into All the black and blue Only like a phoenix, rise again Some kinda way She will escape If she just keeps on singing Doot doot... Not a type to pin at all Odds despite a ruined trauma Climbing valleys, ride despair Light is shining through her hair And she just keeps on singing Doot doot...

Cahaba Lily 06:14
lyrics

Rust Trust in the process of entropy Crust Crust of the bread that you handed me Rise Rise to the challenge and follow me Lies Find a way out of the hype machine La la la la la People that know the state I'm in A heart will expand, a hand will extend Out of the magic city Bloom by the water Cahaba Lily You don't have to face it alone Bloom where you ought to Cahaba Lily You know when its time to come home Touch Tones disconnected as lives leave Clutch Loved ones together as time speeds Time Time is a constant of no escape Lines Slowly increase across every face People that know the state I'm in A heart will expand, a hand will extend Out of the magic city Bloom by the water Cahaba Lily You don't have to face it alone Bloom where you ought to Cahaba Lily You know when its time to come home

Appalachia 04:12

I take my shelter in the sky Beside the trees, bathed in light The water's calling out my name To bathe in Logan Martin lake I'll climb the mountains, hush my words Live in quiet for the birds Accept it so much more than I Creation older than my time Appalachia set me free Take the noises out of me I am waiting for your silent song Appalachia in my dreams Im a simple human being Wash my soul before im dead and gone Ive never known a peace like this Letting go of paces brisk Judging time by sun and moon Judging months by what's in bloom I'll climb the mountains, hush my words Live in quiet for the birds Accept it so much more than I Creation older than my time Appalachia set me free Take the noises out of me I am waiting for your silent song Appalachia in my dreams I'm a simple human being Wash my soul before I'm dead and gone

Chameleon grey Hiding in the fire Leave or stay Dont call me a liar Give me one chance To blend in blend out Chameleon is down Chameleon grey Take this ugly stance Take up my cross Hold me if you can I will do the same If we make it through today Chameleon is saved All these shades of you !!Will be colors soon Every Saturday i repeat this tune Help me make it through You'll become what you You'll become what you've just begun to pursue A chameleon that's about to turn blue Chameleon grey Disappearing act Quick thumping heart Lacking massive tact Its not your job To pull me back out Chameleon has doubts Chameleon grey Make the final call Im here at your feet I dont keep score at all My secrets are known To you all alone Chameleon is only Longing for home

Music Is A Hype Machine 03:06
lyrics
buy track
I cannot stop this hurt I cannot squash this waste Wasting my life making waves That dissipate to nothing Whats the point? Was it all a lie? Sheer excitement Music is a hype machine Though my pay is 2000 exposures I cant eat that Music is a hype machine Deep inspiration fills my lungs It's been already done before There's nothing new under the sun Why rearrange it just for fun? Fun. FUN. Fuuuuuuuuu- it's all fun, why would anyone DARE give money to some...some...Troubadour, just to play at the Troubadour. The LiveNation is coming for your nation and your creation station is ridding the world of devastation! Spots and fries are going to give you just the bits the bits thaaaaaaa bits! AND NOT A PENNY MORE, YOU SCOUNDREL, YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED AS LITTLE AS YOUR SUBSCRIBER COUNT, YOU INSIGNIFICANT WORM! Whats the point? Was it all a lie? Sheer excitement Music is a hype machine Though my pay is 2000 exposures I cant eat that Music is a hype machine

Heaven 04:04
lyrics

Light is disappating as you roam Come rest your bones in the garden Bring a friend or you can be alone What floats your boat in the sea bed Youre in deep but you can breathe it in The cheats are all activated Theres excitement in the summer wind Your pain has been defeated Heaven has no end No walls to be held Heaven waits for us But waiting is hell Time is short for us, Even for you Time is over now So what will you do? So what will you do? Only walls are hiding in a maze A treasure waits at the center Its the sweetest kind of love and praise Its easy just to enter There's a steady hand to lift you up A caring shoulder to climb on We will meet you soon so don't give up We'll see you in the bygone Heaven has no end No walls to be held Heaven waits for us But waiting is hell Time is short for us, Even for you Time is over now So what will you do? So what will you do?

Starting Fires 05:00
lyrics

Don't leave me alone Give me one more chance Fear has got me stoned And I don't wanna dance People say you're starting fires but I don't think it's true 'cause being wrong and being silent Turns red flames to blue This is not a test (listen to the broadcast) But every day I fail (you've become a dumbass) I can't get no rest (you don't know the meaning) As to a cross we're nailed People say you're starting fires but I don't think it's true 'cause being wrong and being silent Turns red flames to blue Imagine all the things we were Imagine what we could've been Doubtful voices say we can't Imagine what we could again Just as our two flames burn to one No matter how the cold winds run There's no more time for starting fires We'll burn out 'til we're done

The Truth 02:24
lyrics

You say that you found someone new She's so undeniably cool She's getting to know me And none of you own me Baby, I still know the truth You say that your heart's more than two To multiplicate golden rules Don't say that you love me I know that you love me Baby I still know the truth Love is patient Love is kind Does not envy Is not proud No dishonor Keeps no record Does no evil, Praises truth You say the she's making you swoon You're feeling the energy new Ill still be your anchor I want to thank her Baby, i still know the truth

Invincible Love 03:14
lyrics
buy track
Where in does it come from? The head or the heart? A goddess or a spirit? A simple work of art? Nothing can come between us No mountain to climb The thickest of mud, Sweat, tears and blood Invincible love Invincible love What is adoration? A worship of your soul? The battles won together Achieving all the goals Shifting in the coal mines Shifting in the sand Shifting in our heartstrings To pull us out again Nothing in tarnation Could break our endless ties The prophets of the doomsday Are missing out on life like ours What is adoration? A worship of your soul? The battles won together Achieving all the goals Nothing can come between us No mountain to climb The thickest of mud, Sweat, tears and blood Invincible love Invincible love

Steps 04:33
lyrics

Pulled from heaven put in corner Need to break the walls behind you Wax impatient take the steps you Need to break the walls behind you And maybe its the first step So take a bow You always seem to take up for the others anyhow Don't put up walls around you, But an open fence To let them see the person you're becoming ever since And maybe it wont work out You still have to live Letting go of distance that keeps stretching you too thin And maybe its the first step So take a bow You always seem to take up for the others anyhow Make a wish and make it thoughtful Do the thing and leave the doubtful Hanging on is hard enough when Steps are sinking into potholes And maybe its the first step So take a bow You always seem to take up for the others anyhow Don't put up walls around you, But an open fence To let them see the person you're becoming ever since And maybe it wont work out You still have to live Letting go of distance that keeps stretching you too thin And maybe its the first step So take a bow You always seem to take up for the others anyhow

Into the dark Into the dark Into the dark Into the twilight The rain will drop the rain will drop the rain will drop Out of the sky We watch the frenzy from afar Here in my arms Here in my arms Here in my arms You're sleeping tight The mountains all around us pass under our flight And though we fly so high im holding on so tight Casting out our future into the sunrise We are getting ready just to open up our eyes You and I Into the dawn Into the dawn Into the dawn We watch the empty streets A special song A special song A special song For tired wings We peaceful people in the midst Here in my arms Here in my arms Here in my arms You're sleeping tight

Real Time 05:20

Hey you In the cold Are you lonely, Are you bolder than this man could ever be? Brighter than starlight A lighter To a firefight Would be all you'd ever need To stop The heart Of a world torn apart You have that power inside I've never felt like this again Ill never feel this way before I pray that I'm not dreaming I pray that I'm not dreaming I'm existing In the right timeline I'm not dreaming This is in real time When I'm drifting Girl you're my lifeline I'm not dreaming This is in real time Hey you In the sand Take hold of my hand And dance with me through bars Of music, Of cells We'll break Out of hell You have that power inside
