Crestfallen 03:39
You're floating up against the river But the river ain't slowing down And in the end the water always wears the crown Every letter's been sealed and delivered But the message never made it out Only black ink shapes mistaken for a shout You spoke your words like a hopeful fanatic With your hearts of stone and your bats in the attic I'm just sayin' So gather around, pour another round While it's hiding in the lost and found And you can't imagine where the world's been bound The wise men said you'd be better off dead Than living on borrowed time But when was living when the flame died out a crime You tried your best to keep on going But the sorrow surrounds you and keeps on growing I'm just sayin' They tied you a noose, but you cut it loose And run into the break of day And you think of all the things you'll have to say For the flightless birds and the helpless girls And the boys who never made it out Of the circle games they played with all their doubts So light the fire and watch it burn For every ash is a lesson learned With a pocket full of flowers we all fall down So take it while you're still around I'm just sayin'

The Current 03:30
Floating through your Mind at such a frantic pace Rivers of the time that's passing on And of you're idle days Watching your whole Life pass on the silver screen Waiting for your final hour And praying for your second gleam But the pull of the current drags you down And the weight of all your burdens let you drown And you take your final moments and think of all those you let down Waiting on your life to turn around Watching all the Sand slide through the hour glass Looking on, the last few grains fall Petrified and powerless Weren't you the one Who said we own our fate So are you gonna live your life Or sit there and prevaricate? But the pull of the current drags you down And the weight of all your burdens let you drown And you take your final moments and think of all those you let down Waiting on your life to turn around Looking back it All seems like a reverie Praying that you won't return But nothing is of certainty But the pull of the current won't drag you down And the wind catches those burdens that weighed you down And you take a single moment And take in all of what surrounds you Waiting on your life to turn around

White Flag 05:22
Love comes in your open armed embrace I fall in Eyes closed I can hear the color of your words come Into bloom, wash away the grays I hear you say that "Love comes with a white flag waving truce." Love comes in the long lost verse of a hymnal I once Heaved out in the hallowed halls the faithful of a Thousand other gods debate the details screaming "Love comes with a white flag waving truce/" Love comes in the glacial lakes and coastal cliffs that Dot the lands that the we stole with all our greedy hands But still, in their ravaged beauty the wind keeps screaming "Love comes with a white flag waving truce."

Prodigal Son 03:07
Another drink to cloud the clearest mind Another love to clutter its design Another song to soothe the soul and make the body whole Small diversions have us misaligned Have I gone too far living resigned to a scattered callused mind? Another day and I might make a change Another year sees this whole life rearranged Another lifetime but the seasons all remain the same Winter snows that froze me in my tracks Spring won't thaw the wreath ain't growing back. Tend to your greenery, oh innocent one. Fall into the scenery and tell no one If you're earth's precious daughter, I'm her prodigal son Try and dam the waters, but the river still runs its course
