Shadow

Picking up the pieces of my heart
Shattered all over the ashfault
Burning dreams playing mind games
I try not to think what they say
And if I loved you tomorrow
Would you still love me today
A haunting past is creeping on me
Investigating everything I see
Suffocating memories
It’s no wonder I still can’t breathe
And if I loved you tomorrow
Would you still love me today
And if I hurt your pain
Would you forgive my yesterday
Or will I always remain in your shadow

One Last Time

I looked at you one last time before you I walked right out the door
I said I’m sorry sir but I can’t believe the same things as you anymore
And I picked my stuff up walked out with one more thing to say
I wish it could of work out but to you I’m going to hell anyway
And I don’t know my own heart I don’t know my own way
So I’m gonna to have to go find myself and be on my own today
Is it ok with you if I question all my own beliefs?
Is it ok with you if I look at myself independently?
Before I needed you everyday
Before I needed you in every way
But now I’m old and I have grown
It’s time for me to do it on my own
I know you don’t agree with the choices I have made
I know you think I am a complete mess who’s failed God in everyway
Maybe it's a phase or the place I’m going to stay
Do you know how hard is it to break from your past and begin in a whole new way
And I’m not saying I have it all completely figured out
I’m not saying I know what’s best or what this life is all about
I don’t appreciate you questioning all my moves
Cus a player needs to make mistakes in order to improve
Before I needed you everyday
Before I needed you in every way
And I am old ya I have grown
It’s time for me to do it on my own

June

We built a greenhouse in our backyard
And the basil is growing strong
We have a hidden door through our back fence
To scare the neighbors when they’re doing wrong
We paint the walls and mow the lawn
We stay up late and sing songs
I never realized how happy I can be
Just as long as the tourists are nice to me
Cus it’s a good life
And I can’t complain
In this town that’s full of rain
And when I can’t seem to go on
I’ll just sing this simple, simple song
And I’ll picture your beautiful face
In this beautiful place
We bought a little boat just to play around
Saved all our pennies just to get us off this ground
All we wanted was to explore this town
But 384 days later we were still around
Cus it’s a good life
And I can’t complain
In this town that’s full of rain
And when I can’t seem to go on
I’ll just sing this simple, simple song
And I’ll picture your beautiful face
In this beautiful place
The grass is green the flowers are in bloom
Life may not be as it seems but hey it’s only June
A moment has past and another will come
Just live it as it’s last and have some fun
Cus it’s a good life
And I can’t complain
In this town that’s full of rain
And when I can’t seem to go on
I’ll just sing this simple, simple song
And I’ll picture your beautiful face
In this beautiful place

Henry

I heard your call in the middle of the night
I decided to follow to join the fight
To protect my heart and family
To never give up to always believe
And I have restless anxiety
In my own disabilities
And I am fearful on my own
Old enough but I haven’t grown
Here I am with nothing left
Just my hopeful heart
I’ve hid the rest
And I don’t know what will happen to us
One thing strong is our beating love
Across the Country I will run
Believing in something that’s not yet done
And if I could fly I‘d fly straight to you
I’d pick you up, I’d heal your wounds
But times are tough and I can’t come
To do those things that aren’t yet done
So I have to wait here patiently
Anticipating the moment were free
And here I am with nothing left
Just my hopeful heart
I’ve hid the rest
And I don’t know what will happen to us
One thing strong is our beating love
So disappointment please be gone
In my shortcomings I‘ve done no wrong
And I won’t stop till I find you
Through these storms and nightmares too
And here I am with nothing left
Just my hopeful heart
I’ve hid the rest
And I don’t know what will happen to us
One thing strong is our beating love
I will run, I will run, I will run

Destiny

I walked down the street the other day
When an angel flew by my face
I took a double look because I couldn’t believe my eyes
But that there angel was still floating through the sky
And I thought
Oh oh oh oh What did I do
Oh oh oh oh I didn’t mean too
Oh oh oh oh I guess I messed up
Oh oh oh oh just my luck
Guess that’s what happens when I don’t think things through
I guess I m on my way to the grave just like you
Well this got me thinking about my destiny
Where am I headed will I die or be free
I’d rather go tot heaven than straight to hell ya
I’d rather not talk about it can’t you tell
I learned of Jesus way back in the day
He makes me feel better in a confused messed up way
But I m going to believe that I am set free
And that there’s angels still floating around me ya
And when I start to stumble I will not fall
Cus I’m going up in that big blue sky, hey ya, after all
And oh oh oh oh it’s not what I do
No oh oh oh even if I mean to
Cus God’s grace is bigger than all my faults
And no I am not in a cult
And I’m gonna believe that I am set free
And that there’s angels still floating around me

Across the Sea
04:14

I feel a breeze across the sea
It sings to me sweet melodies
Of a history burning through this place
I hear everything as it’s supposed to be
And no it’s not my insanity
It’s perfect tranquility
The eagles soar through the air
Whale’s swim out everywhere
And I am blessed to witness these
So don’t follow me across the sea
To take me back to your debris
Cus I’m not ready to leave
I am here
I’m not alone
In this place I’m proud to call home
I am free to always roam
So my dear, come visit me
So you can see, so you can see me happy
You don’t understand why I left
But I am here now it’s for the best
And I can call these shores my home
My heart will always remain
Despite the fight inside my brain
But I won’t give up for anything
I am here
I’m not alone
In this place I’m proud to call home
And I am free to always roam
So my dear, come stay me
So you can see, so you can see me happy
The shattered secrets of the sea are the broken pieces lost in me
When they’re shining in the light
And the wind tries to push me down, I’m petrified but I’ll hold my ground
Cus I’m forced to fight
Cus I am here
I’m not alone
In this place I’m proud to call home
And I am free to always roam
So my dear, come stay me
So you can see, so you can see me happy
