Protege 03:28
lyrics
buy track
Lost in the headlights Blowing off steam A world full of spirits Some kind but most mean I’ve been looking forever Trying to find me a way If I could climb up to heaven I’d be on my way God’s next protege Now if I had a family A family who cared Then these streets full of plenty Might have filled me with fear So I keep my eyes open Sure that I’ll find a way To climb up to heaven And be on my way God’s next protege When I am through here And my bed is laid I’ll climb up to heaven No more cast away

Desensitize Me 03:04
lyrics

If I could make it all just fade away And be left on my own I’d be okay, I’d be okay, I’d be okay I read the paper yesterday It had not one good thing to say I want to read about a tree’s 100th anniversary Desensitize me Desensitize me make me numb Desensitize me from the noise I’m sick and done If I could only see a show That didn’t prophet our implode I’d be alright with that I wouldn’t have to feel so bad Desensitize me Desensitize me make me numb Desensitize me from the noise I’m sick and done I’m sick and done Pay per view news Pour it on Lay down your hocks String me along If I could make it all just fade away And be left on my own I’d be okay, I’d be okay, I’d be okay

Tell You 03:56
lyrics
buy track
Five strike birthright and not a hope in hell Three culture trying to tell me all is well Moved along drawing strength from my checkered past How far did you think I’d get thinking this would last Tell you about my life Tell you about my life The air is getting thicker with a thousand higher calls Be the first to throw the stone or be the first to fall Tow the line and keep the faith and one day see the light Gave up on me years ago and who gave you the right Tell you about my life Tell you about my life Tell you about my life Tell you about my life Should I question your motives Or just tell you ‘bout my life Did you know it was so loaded I’ll just pretend that all is well Tried hard to make it work I wore a suit and heels Climbed the corporate ladder Tell I felt the real deal Always made the quota Somehow never made the club Spinning round in circles By an utter lack of love Tell you about my life Tell you about my life Tell you about my life Tell you about my life

Confederate This 03:45
lyrics
I don’t know why they fly that flag so high Don’t think they know the stones they throw Could see it every day if I don’t turn my eyes away I hope someday they find their way And in your pickup truck looking redneck and rough Ain’t got nothing better to do Say that it’s rebellion, didn’t know ‘bout segregation Too busy trying to look cool Well, I don’t know why they fly that flag so high Don’t think they know the stones they throw Could see it every day if I don’t turn my eyes away I hope someday they find their way Looking out on my streets where many cultures meet Haven’t seen you stay for too long Your fear crippled heart has left you bound with many scars Don’t take your shit out on me Well, I don’t know why they fly that flag so high Don’t think they know the stones they throw Could see it every day if I don’t turn my eyes away I hope someday they find their way I hope someday they find their way

The Chains that Bind 04:03
lyrics
buy track
Raise you head Time to face the day Standing on your own The toll that must be paid Brought into this world I hope you fit the mold Don’t stand apart Don’t dare to be to bold Mmmmm The chains that bind them Have no more hold on you Mmmmm The fear that finds them Will never let them be But you are free Raise before the dawning of the age of living free Stick with what they know An active apathy Love it is remaining And will ever be It’s not easy The distance in between Mmmmm The chains that bind them Have no more hold on you Mmmmm The fear that finds them Will never let them be But you are free Ah ooooo Ah ooooo Ohhhhhhhh Ah ooooo Ah ooooo Ohhhhhhhh You are free You are free You are free

Woe (the sofa song) 06:31
lyrics
buy track
This is my coffin I lay here alone The drone of the TV I can’t reach the phone I’m not dead I’m not buried I’m just kinda gone And if you knocked on my door there’d be nobody home Strong in its silence this room gives me wake A peaceful surrender when hard are life’s days Not a word spoken but stories are told In tears of reflection beyond my control Woe Another tough road to hoe Woe I’m riding the high and the low Another day passes another day lost If I’d paced myself better I’d push of the cost A gentle reminder of what can be lost And when I recover I’ll be better off Woe Another tough road to hoe Woe I’m riding the high and the low Woe I’m riding the high and the low
