Anxiety Attack 04:51
lyrics

Anxiety Attack What to do, what to say, where to go when it seems nothing is going your way Had enough, seen too much, wanna leave, everybody saying that I should stay Feels like the walls are closing in Look around and I can't find a friend All I know is I've got to get out of here, don't know why but I know that the fear is real No one else seems to be feeling strange, I feel the heat rising in my veins Light headed, the room begins to spin Crushing weight, feels like-this may be the end Friendly faces telling me its OK, they don't know why I feel this way While they laugh and joke around, having fun. I just can't escape this bad dream Why do I feel so Insane? Paranoid, I feel lost-In this Anxiety Heart is pounding like thunder in my chest, Head is screaming will this ever end? Hands are scratching, skin thats turning red, Eyes are pinpoint pupils in the mirror Feels like the walls are closing in, Look around and I can't find a friend Why do I feel so insane? Paranoid, I feel lost-In this Anxiety

I Still Love You 03:47
lyrics

I still Love you Hey I know your out there waiting to take your turn Everytime I see you I believe that I will never learn When I think back I remember all you said In the beauty, in the moment that your heart bled Then all I did was watch you walk away As I open the door I wonder why I can't let go All the things we've been through, why you're back I'll never know You say that its just life and there's always pain Just step on through the door to begin again So here we go another try you and I Easily you slide into my arms your eyes betray your tears I know we've hurt before and end up here to face our fears That if we don't risk it, we may end up alone And the feelings linger so we think that its allright But its always wrong to hurt each other even when its the best we can do Yes its always wrong to hurt, I still love you

Inequality 04:24
lyrics
buy track
Lately I can't tell the future, is it going to stick around or leave me always left behind It seems that I'm behind the Eight Ball, can't find away around to make it to the other side Can you throw me a lifeline, I need some help up, don't pull it out from under me Cause I, I've been trying so hard to hold onto my hope, not let it steal away from me Trying to understand this Inequality, Who did I put in charge of my destiny Time to take control and finally bring it on home Hey, did you see them out there? They're working all the time and I think they're trying to undermine my right My right to self expression, its being taken from me its time I stood up and shouted Get out of my way now, Its my turn to shine and no one else can shine for me I'm the only one who, can ever be the one that I was truly meant to be Trying to understand this Inequality, Who did I put in charge of my destiny Time to take control and finally bring it on home Now I think I see the future, marching right beside me, bringing all their voices to the front No longer in the background, We've taken back control and now its time to understand that we must Focus our attention and make sure that we don't become like those that want to Keep it all to themselves, Its time to break the locks and spread around the wealth And start to understand Equality, put ourselves in charge of our destiny Time to take control and finally bring it all home

Away from the Night 03:45
lyrics

Away from the Night What you see when you wake in the night and the feel of the cold as it presses tight, Its not real But you turn as your brain hears a sound like a crack of a bone it screams out loud, its not real (Its not real) Out of the darkness (Its not real) Into the light (Its not real) Step through to the morning and away, away from the night Heart Beats like a bird in your hand, every breath you take like a mouth full of sand, its not real Try to speak but the words have no sound like your tongues buried deep down in the ground, its not real (Its not real) Out of the darkness (Its not real) Into the light (Its not real) Step through to the morning and away, away from the night (When you feel) That everything hopeless (Hold on tight) Tomorrow is coming (Wait for the morning) Its within sight (Forget the night) And you will step Out of the darkness (Its not real) Into the light (Its not real) Step through to the morning and away, away from the night When you're deep in the darkness of the night, just remember the day will come bringing in the light-bringing in the light Out of the darkness (bringing in the light) Welcome the day (bringing in the light) Turn towards the sunrise, Away, Away from the night

Angels and Mystery 04:00
lyrics
buy track
Angels and Mystery When your hair blew auburn and true, against the blue of the Turkish Sea When that perfect version of you, smiled at the children on the balcony How could I not wonder, as the riptide pulled me under That your world of angels and mystery (angels and mystery) Was a world without me The colors of autumn wrap themselves around your beauty so carelessly The way you moved in the sunlight, brought the hardest boys to their bended knee My half empty glass it was broken, all the beautiful words went unspoken And your world of angels and mystery (angels and mystery) Was your world without me Sometimes I'm fading, like a spot on your horizon I'm here in front of you, but so easily forgotten, so easily forgotten When did a page from our lonesome past, light a fire that burned down our history? And was it always too little, too late, Like a prayer that became an apology As I carried our torch to the river, how could I help but forgive her And her world of angels and mystery-a world that I could never hope to see The world of angels and mystery, Her world without me

Heading South 03:58
lyrics

Heading South Heading South straight out on the highway Don't know where I'm going life will have to find me Maybe East Nashville is a calling, don't know if I'll get there the way that I've been stallin' Up ahead there's a diner at the crossroads, think I'll stop for awhile Wonder what the Specials got to offer? Grab a paper see what this towns about Take a seat and make yourself at home now Says the pretty girl as she's handing me a menu Where you from, I haven't seen you here before If you ask, I'd recommend the meatloaf, with homemade gravy too Save some room for a slice of Cherry pie Made it fresh just this afternoon Love the freedom of rolling down the highway, not knowing where I am Little towns, the backroads are a plenty, Headin' South sounds as good as any other way Early morning Catfish are a jumping, where the river bends down by the big Magnolia Grab a pole, put a line in the water, brought my cooler cause I know its getting hotter In the shade, cold beer in my hand-can it get any better than this? Fresh air not a worry on my mind, Headin' South life is feeling fine again Love the freedom of rolling down the highway, not knowing where I am Little towns, the backroads are a plenty, Headin' South sounds as good as any other way

It's Been Awhile Last time I saw you, you were looking down Seems like life was treating you bad, but I knew you would turn it around You've got a gift that you carry inside, I was so fortunate to spend some time by your side When you wanted to you could light up a room Something change and the light turned to gloom You never said who it was that caused the turn I never asked, cause I was afraid to learn Yes its good, so good to be looking up Feel the warmth of the sun shining down from above Yes its good, so good to see you smile Its' been awhile, its been awhile, been awhile Last time I saw you said you had big plans Gonna move out to the country and find yourself again Guess you were searching to find a better way Looks like you found it by the way you seem today You seem relaxed and so easy in your way No more of the anger that you carried back in the day I knew you were hurting, but I didn't know what to do I pretended not to see and I guess you did too Yes its good, so good to be looking up Feel the warmth of the sun shining down from above Yes its good so good to see you smile Its been awhile its been awhile, been awhile

The Best Thing in Life I didn't know it, that it was meant to be Never believed it would happen to me But as I stand here looking around I think I now just what I've found Guess I must have waited long enough Cause now you're here and you fill me up From a life that seemed empty, to one that overflows The best thing in life-I finally know The best thing in life-I finally know We're all looking to find our place Trying to go the distance in this human race When you found me I was lost in space Your loves the best thing and we're face to face Believe me my darlin' its all true There's never been anyone compares to you When it comes to loving me, you're the best I just give you my heart and you do the rest We're all looking to find our place Trying to go the distance in this human race When you found me I was lost in space Your loves the best thing and were face to face Your loves the best thing when were face to face

Evermore 05:28
lyrics
buy track
Evermore If I took you down (into the depths of hell) and led you before me Showed you all the things (all the dark things) you could never see Time and time again (in pain and anger) you reached out for me But now you've lost your way (and you can't see) the forest through the trees Do you think that you've turned and now you're heading back downhill? The Effect is gone and you no longer, no longer feel the thrill-feel the thrill Left you all alone, (down in the darkness) brought you to that place Hiding deep inside, (where the truth lies) that you can never face All the doubts and fears, (that kept you paralyzed) thoughts you cannot shake Wish it were a dream, (and not a nightmare) but your wide awake, wide awake... Do you think you will ever find, find your way back home Or maybe its too late and you will die, you will die alone-die alone Walls are closing in, (pressing down on you) and time is running out Counting up your sins (you can't count that high) makes you scream and shout Now you know the way (with a blindfold) cause you've been here before But you're out of time (and you can't get it back) Stay for Evermore, Evermore Evermore... Do you think that you've turned and now you're heading back downhill? The Effect is gone and you no longer, no longer feel the thrill Do you think you will ever find, find your way back home Maybe its too late and you will die, you will die alone (you will die alone)
