No Time 03:25
I'm so fine with being my own self, baby So fine with taking my good old time Move it on over, so I can see clearly Floating above it all, there is me I got no time to look in the rearview mirror No time for lookin behind If you don't like what you see, you can keep walkin' I got no time for dimmin' my shine I don't mind taking the driver's seat, baby Don't mind leaving the sidelines Move it on over, so I can see clearly Floating above it all, there is me No time, No time, No time, No time I got no time to look in the rearview mirror No time for lookin behind If you don't like what you see, you can keep walkin' I got no time for dimmin' my shine

Deep 03:11
Deep in my brain, I’m thinking of you Nothing left to do Giving into my pain, and that is my cue No, I never knew Hearing that name I’m calling It’s off of the edge I’m falling Deep in my brain, I’m thinking of you Why am I so sad, so sad Why, with all I have, I have Deep in my heart, I’m longing for you Don’t know what to do Things are falling apart, I’m out in the blue Now I’m breaking through Stop this overthinking Tryin’ to swim, but I’m sinking Deep in my heart, I’m longing for you Why am I so sad, so sad Why, with all I have, I have Why was I so sad, so sad Why, with all I have, I have Deep in my soul, I’m gonna pull through Now I have to choose To make myself whole, I gotta be true Nothing left to lose Now that I’m alright leaving Now I can start believing Deep in my soul, I’m gonna pull through

Lay it all down at the edge of the shore You don’t have to carry it anymore Come on in ‘cause the water feels fine Come and bathe your skin in moonshine You’ve been carrying this weight on your own But you don’t see how much you’ve grown Sometimes you just have to know When it’s time to let it go Won’t you lay it all down at the edge of the shore You don’t have to carry it anymore Come on in ‘cause the water feels fine Come and bathe your skin in moonshine It’s time to give in to the unknown After working yourself down to the bone It won’t always be this hard So, go on and lift your eyes to the stars Won’t you lay it all down at the edge of the shore You don’t have to carry it anymore Come on in ‘cause the water feels fine Come and bathe your skin in moonshine Won’t you lay it all down at the edge of the shore You don’t have to carry it anymore Come on in ‘cause the water feels fine Come and bathe your skin in moonshine

Earthly Love 02:48
Lay me down in the garden I don’t need a feather bed Draped above me, dark green curtains Moss pillow to rest my head Lay me down in the meadow Underneath an open sky Not a trace of a shadow Bright starts to electrify Hair in the wind, air on my skin No Heaven above, earthly love Hair in the wind, air on my skin No Heaven above, earthly love Lay me down by the river Cool water to cleanse our souls I’m in love with a sinner Pure joy as I lose control Hair in the wind, air on my skin No Heaven above, earthly love Hair in the wind, air on my skin No Heaven above, earthly love Hair in the wind, air on my skin No Heaven above, earthly love Hair in the wind, air on my skin No Heaven above, earthly love Earthly Love Earthly Love

Time marches on slow and steady, to the beat of the drum Keep movin’ just to outrun my shadow, but it won’t stop coming Smoke in the air, my breath feeling heavy, I’m coming undone Wildfire on the horizon, the sky glows, Gotta keep on running It won’t matter how far I go My demons wait for me, oh this I know Lightning flashes and thunder rolls I hope the rain washes off my soul I gotta hope But I already know Oh, I know Sleep in a bed of our own making, made a deal with the devil Tried changing but it’s already too late, it was our own doing Wake up and the earth is shakin, and it’s too far unraveled Realize there is no changing our fate, but we keep on moving It won’t matter how far we go Our demons wait for us, oh this we know Lightning flashes and thunder rolls We hope the rain washes off our soul We gotta hope But we already know Oh, we know It won’t matter how far we go Our demons wait for us, oh this we know Lightning flashes and thunder rolls We hope the rain washes off our soul We gotta hope But we already know Oh, we know Time marches on slow and steady, to the beat of the drum Keep movin’ just to outrun my shadow

Ride Free 03:20
Taking a walk through a concrete jungle Steamy and grey Dark and rank where the green grass struggles Gonna run away Standing tall is a charcoal beauty Looking at me Swishing her tail while she’s on duty We wanna be free Gonna ride that horse to the edge of the world Ride ‘til the sun don’t shine anymore Gonna ride that horse ‘til I reach the shore And I find what I’m looking for All alone, knew my time had come Swinging on up The alley behind, we face the sun ‘Cause we’ve had enough Gonna ride that horse to the edge of the world Ride ‘til the sun don’t shine anymore Gonna ride that horse ‘til I reach the shore And I find what I’m looking for Ride free, oh, ride free Ride free, oh, ride free Leaving our work where nothin’ is made Staying the course Together we’ll make a new crusade Me and my police horse Gonna ride that horse to the edge of the world Ride ‘til the sun don’t shine anymore Gonna ride that horse ‘til I reach the shore And I find what I’m looking for And I find what I’m looking for And I find what I’m looking for Ride free, oh, ride free Ride free, oh, ride free

Turns out, there’s no straight lines Over time I’ve figured out we’re closer to fine Closer to fine We’ll all be fine Lean in and cry when you need Tears of joy, cries of pain, will set us free Set us free Cry on me I’ll hold you closer When rain pours down I’ll be your anchor When storm touch ground Let go, swim in the waves I won’t let the river of emotion take You away No, you are safe I feel the ache in your bones Holding on to the day’s sticks and stones But now you’re home You’re not alone I’ll hold you closer When rain pours down I’ll be your anchor When storm touch ground Can’t find the words to tell me what this is about I’ll be here to hold ya, so let your tears roll out Tell us all again that this too shall pass Nothing is forever and darkness won’t last I’ll hold you closer When rain pours down I’ll be your anchor When storm touch ground I’ll hold you closer When rain pours down I’ll be your anchor When storm touch ground When storm touch ground

Howl 03:01
Woke up but the sun won’t shine Got a dream stuck in my mind Spinning round like a record plays Feels like all the other days Been a while since I hit the ground I guess I’ve been knocked around Steady pulse of my thoughts drip drop Tick-tock, make me want to stop Howl at the moon Ooooo, I just gotta let it out Ooooo, Let go of all this doubt Ooooo, Sometimes you need to shout Ooooo, Let’em know what I’m all about Strip down ‘til my skin is bare Feel the charge that’s in the air Stories that have come undone I just need somewhere to run Howl at the moon Ooooo, I just gotta let it out Ooooo, Let go of all this doubt Ooooo, Sometimes you need to shout Ooooo, Let’em know what I’m all about Ooooo, I just gotta let it out Ooooo, Let go of all this doubt Ooooo, Sometimes you need to shout Ooooo, Let’em know what I’m all about Ooooo, I just gotta let it out Ooooo, Let go of all this doubt Ooooo, Sometimes you need to shout Ooooo, Let’em know what I’m all about

They all fear the green maid Tongue as sharp as my blade In my garden pristine So lush and unseen The tools of my trade And my crows gathered round A black torrent of sound I looked up with their caw And that’s when I saw The man who’d be bound And I am wide open to the stars in the sky Oh, I am wide open, no I can’t hide And the crows don’t lie when they scream out loud Try to tell me He’s the man they all chase Jade green eyes and good face I’ve been brewing all night Outside the first light Oh, how my crows pace And the mixture I’ve made While the other girls prayed Sweet apothecary will soon make him see Or there’s hell to be paid And I am wide open to the stars in the sky Oh, I am wide open, no I can’t hide And the crows don’t lie when they scream out loud Try to tell me Now you’re coming with me There is nowhere to flee Things are not what they seem Impossible dream But so mote it be While the rest of you pout Full of envy and doubt Have I strung you along With this little song Mess around and find out Cup of tea, love? Watch your face Now your eyes they dilate So enamored now Oh, how bespoken for me Wide open to the stars in the sky You are wide open, no you can’t hide Wide open to the stars in the sky You are wide open, no you can’t hide

Gentle spirit, dancing soul Smilin’ eyes, and a heart of gold You were taken from this world Twenty-seven years old I don’t wanna wake up and remember that you’re gone I don’t wanna have to write this god damn song There are days I can’t believe it’s been so long Other days it feels like I’m barely hanging on I will meet you nearby Where horizon meets the sky In between away and sleep Where the sunlight slows to a creep I don’t wanna wake up and remember that you’re gone I don’t wanna have to write this god damn song There are days I can’t believe it’s been so long Other days it feels like I’m barely hanging on Barley hanging on Barley hanging on Barley hanging on Barley hanging on I’m still hanging on
