End of Me (Demo) 05:20
lyrics
download
By way of agitation, less than secret admiration Some might find my dedication to be unwise They say, "Take your time." But your way of imagination Such a passionate patience in your eyes Medicating me on sight I'm liquified So set this pool on fire before you say goodbye Tell me it's not time Go, go, go, go No, no, no, no You're so, so slow to decide When you leave here, then I'll be there I'm not the lackluster kind And I've made up my mind Dig into the well I've got my heart on my lapel My pail is dry Tears won't turn themselves to wine Yet in my pail I cry Why my feet won't carry me home Go, go, go, go No, no, no, no You know no dose to prescribe You will break and you will falter A troubled snake in troubled water I've been bitten blind And I've made up my mind Please don't mind me when you find me Frozen, cracked and alone Let me go, let me go, 'cause I can't let go Melt me down The end of you, the end of me But in the end, where will we be? A string of pearls, a string of graves Just sing to me and I'll behave

Clouds 1 thru 8 (Demo) 02:07
lyrics

Your feet upon the ground My eyes up in the clouds Feet pull you from the place I want you to be right now I'm begging for the clouds Bring me swiftly, safe and sound You're hiding from the rain My eyes are raining down Running anchors in the wall Climbing down before you fall Riding droplets through the wind Wishing you would just stand tall Oh, I pretend not to see But I know why you run I know why you run I know why you run away from me And I'd have to agree

No Way to Know (Demo) 04:23
lyrics

I'm walking away I find I have nothing to say I'm walking away I live to back down another day And when I say Not much behind what I say, say... C'est la vie I'm walking away I'll make you mine one at a time One piece at a time I got time to spare I spare the time to take the time away It's time you make a man out of me I can only wait so long before your time is wasted on me 5 dollar crowns and your 4 dollar thrones You got 3 in your stomach and 2 in your bones There's just 1 way to tell But there's no way to know what they're saying So save all your money and spend all your time On a cure for the rejects and a pill for the prime All the numbers are fading And so is the light from my eyes After you go this is all a show After you go After you go this is all a show After you go I can choose the words I word out what I want to say The words are only words until they are heard I can only wait so long before my words are wasted on You look by me as I walk away 5 dollar coasters and 4 dollar beers You got 3 on your lips plus the 2 in your ears Only 1 way to go But there's no way to know when it's here Waiting for you

High Horse (Demo) 06:26
lyrics
download
Face the wall and think about what I have done I pull my hood over my head To hide my healing from the dead If this is wrong, don't want to be right But what do you know? To say you never make mistakes Well that's the biggest mistake you'll make Wouldn't you say? Our will wears down Like erasers on paper We try to rub away frown after frown Just to find more underneath Truth sinks ships White lies cover guilty lovers Who live in spite of you You cut your colt from muscle and steam But why so high? 'Cause when your bronco breaks its knees You'll have to ride down here with me You say we can make a brand new start But what do you know? How much forgiving can you do If no one ever had to forgive you? High up above the place where I sit on the ground So hard to see your face when you always look down Pack lightly just in case You make your way down from your crown How many urges must we fight? How many wrongs before it's right? And God said, "Now let there be light," Before he covered up his eyes Wouldn't you say? Our will wears down Like erasers on paper We try to rub away frown after frown Just to find more underneath Truth sinks ships White lies cover guilty lovers Who live in spite of you
