Let It Burn
04:49

I was raised by wolves, then left to fend for myself
I’m made strong
Like a desperado, in a concrete jungle
I might be gone
So, light ‘em up boys, no time for sour faces
Long days to come
These two hearts that beat in an open chorus
Is what i’ve become
From the dirt, we were made
To the dirt, we’ll return
But in the in-between,
Let it burn
Pray for a rain to wash away this filth
I’ll ride that storm
Maybe forever started yesterday
But i’ve been wrong
With these hands i’ll build tomorrow
Even if i’ll be gone
Laid to rest but not forgotten baby
I’ll live on
From the dirt, we were made
To the dirt, we’ll return
But in the in-between,
Let it burn
Don’t know that i would take that
Wound now even if I could
Won't hide these ghosts within me
Now even if i should
My ribs like iron bars that hold
A heart thats made of wood

I don’t really know why
With three other men I ever tried
For your love
I always played straight game
Laid down my cards
When push came to shove
But I’ve never felt like this before
There’s a subtle breeze with a broken sail,
And I’m drifting far from the shore
I’d go and burn the world down
If i thought it might buy me some time
Stole fire from the sun dear
Still Loving you was my only crime
But I’ve never felt like this before
There’s a subtle breeze with a broken sail,
And I’m drifting far from the shore
I would go with you to the end
‘cuz I would break long before I bend
I would love you like no one before
But you don’t want it
You don’t need it
It’s not complicated
You just receive it
I think you're wrong dear
‘Cuz I belong here
With you

Runaways
05:56

We Feel Alone, Misunderstood
All of seventeen and against the world
We take Long walks in the tress, with tall pines and evergreens
Shooting stars fall from high with nowhere to go
We drive at night, it’s our only escape
Our freedom comes with speed, you could never relate
See we've faced abuse, we've seen love made confused
Felt the sting of that you have, that’s why we believe in the road
If I go will I be replaced
by the same name
with a different face
You treat us like were runaways
Out on our own
You Treat us like were runaways
With no way home
See i never, wanted to go
but a house doesn't make a home
i only wanted to be, seen for me
as i am not as you wish, someone you wanted to know
If I go will I be replaced
by the same name
with a different face
You treat us like were runaways
Out on our own
You Treat us like were runaways
With no way home
In these dreams
Wherever We may roam
In these dreams
Well find our home

Prairie Ghosts
04:15
|

|
You ever thought when a hearse went by
You might be the next to go
It's hard to live with a fire inside
If broken bones don’t burn, and i feel
So far away
I don’t know if I believe what you say
My grandpa's hands were old and tough
Like leather bound around weathered stone
Around the bend there ain't never enough
If you were buried six feet under
Love and esteem
The king of the road takes everything
One more round now before we go
I’ll be up all night with these Prairies Ghosts
Theres a ramble down there at the end of the road
These Empty pages are filled with grace
Its a shorter story than most you’ve heard
Wide open spaces like lines on your face
I’ll follow you to the edge of we all we
Know and believe
Hold my hand as we climb high amongst the trees
One more round now before we go
I’ll be up all night with these Prairies Ghosts
Theres a ramble down there at the end of the road

Tinker Creek
04:29
|
|||
|
Early morning light with a subtle glow as
A cloud spreads wide the sunshine's lay
Like a wound exposed in troubled thought
Light bent reflects a brand new day
If you spend enough time within the trees
Start feeling like a two legged freak
But, all in all it’s ok,
I fell in love down there by the tinker creek
See, most men die when they’re young,
We just wait a bit to put ‘em in the dirt
They’ll be givin’ up, givin' in, settle down
Makin love with the hurt
Johnny said 'flesh and blood needs flesh and blood,'
And i’m a simple man
So down here on the waterfront,
I’m gonna make my stand
This pilgrims word I’ll not forsake
Three rivers flow do one road make
She’s slow to rise as my heart aches
Three rivers flow do one road make
A fickle frown on a funny face,
Finds fault that foretells of future falls
Like a corrosive case of the creative kind,
We cry we crash we crawl
We’re told to spend our time in a fight
For a piece promised land
I found that the fate of man
Lays there in the palm of a woman's hand
This pilgrims word I’ll not forsake
Three rivers flow do one road make
She’s slow to rise as my heart aches
Three rivers flow do one road make
