[Verse 1]
It’s just another normal day in the Mythic Valley
Breathing in the smoke in a darkened alley
There’s something in the air
As I try to catch my breath
And I’ve been holding in this feeling for what seems forever
When eternity’s a curse and not a promise
It gets hard for us
When we’re trying to impress.
[Chorus 1]
So who’s your God?
When I am reaching out to you
An do you feel loved?
When I’m around
Can you, in your heart
Lay your judgements to the side
Who am I to you?
Just someone else?
[Verse 2]
When the one we want to hold is deemed forbidden
And love is just a myth, or it seems it hidden
Somewhere in the clouds
When I’m trying to confess
And when we paint each other’s colors you may think we’re different
But if the sky is blue, then it stands to reason
We are all the same
Just trying to do our best
[Chorus 2]
So who’s your God?
When I am reaching out to you
An do you feel loved?
When I’m around
Can you, in your heart
Lay your judgements to the side
Who am I to you?
Just someone else?
Now tell me
Who am I to you?
Just someone else?
[Bridge]
Just someone else.

Oh-oh-oh

Whole Again
05:13

|
[Verse 1]
When I yelled at the waves that night
The trees uprooted themselves
They ran away in fear of the tide
And lighting striking the Portland sky
[Chorus 1]
I remember when I tried to talk with God
And if faith is real, then will it save us from ourselves?
I remember all the liquor that I bought
Just to make me, to make me whole again
{Hook 1]
Whole, whole again
Whole, ohh…
Whole, whole again
Whole, ohh…
[Verse 2]
She tried to call me back to the shore
But I cried out to the night
Where the only voice was my own
I wish that the waves crashed on me
So I would feel cold
[Chorus 2]
I remember when I tried to talk with God
And if faith is real, then will it save us from ourselves?
I remember all the liquor that I bought
Just to make me, to make me whole again
[Bridge]
I never believed in myself [6x]
I should’ve believed in myself. Ohh.
{Hook 2]
Whole, whole again
Whole, ohh…
Whole, whole again
Whole, ohh…
[Chorus 3]
I remember when I tried to talk with God
And if faith is real, then will it save us from ourselves?
I remember all the liquor that I bought
It’s just to make me, to make me whole again
And just to take me, to take me home again
Ohhh…

Magic Truth
05:09
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
Something about your voice
Made me believe that I was
As lost as any stray would be
Caught in between
A monument, a dream
And my own beliefs
Of common decency.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
La-da-da-da-da-da [2x]
[Chorus 1]
So hide behind your white shroud
And tell me the ways
I can be just like you
And shout it through the canyon loud
{Hook 1]
Your magic truth [4x]
[Verse 2]
Now I can see
The child inside of me
That you led astray
I’ll try and help you understand this
There’s not just one way to live
Or just one fate
[Pre-Chorus 2]
La-da-da-da-da-da [2x]
[Chorus 2]
So hide behind your white shroud
And tell me the ways
I can be just like you
And shout it through the canyon loud
{Hook 2]
Your magic truth [4x]
Yeah…
[Bridge]
I admit I don’t know much about anything
Warm heart, cold feet, and looming doubts
And all my sins
I’ll say a prayer tonight for
The ones that I love
Ohh…
[Chorus 2]
I hide behind my white shroud
And I’ll tell you the ways
That I don’t have a clue
And shout it through the canyon loud
My magic
Don’t hide behind your white shroud
And I’ll tell you the ways
That I've grown close to you
Let’s shout it through the canyon loud
{Hook 2]
This magic truth [4x]
Yeah…
This magic truth

Gold

[Verse 1]
When I was walking down an old street
I heard a trembling voice calling for me
He said “Can you spare some change for this
Old sack of bones?”
But then I wrestled some inside me
I asked him why he needs my hard earned keep
Don’t you now that the world demands
More and more of my
[Chorus 1]
Gold [8x]
[Verse 2]
Watching the days just slip away
Counting the hours till I stake my claim
It’s getting late and they already
Turned the lights down so low
The sun and moon have seen the signs
The dream of many is just one big disguise
I’s killing me just to make ends meet
And I gotta find me some more
[Chorus 2]
Gold [16x]
[Bridge]
And if you asked me how I’m doing [2x]
Why don’t you ask me how I’m doing well..
I’ll tell you now, just how I’m doing.
I’ve seen the last of love and beauty
I walk the ranks of willful duty
It seems again that I’ve followed blindly
Oh won’t you please, just take my money kindly
[Chorus 3]

Steeples
03:32
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
I’m standing in the shadow of your steeple
It reaches high to a place I can’t climb
I don’t recall all the faces of the people
We’ve met ‘cause I had you on my mind
[Verse 2]
And if believing is all it would take then
Why can’t I pray myself to be clean
Of the memories of you
And the hell I go through
Each night when you’re waking in my dreams?
[Chorus 1]
I - I - I am different
I - I have changed
And I don’t think of you much anymore
But maybe then I do
[Verse 2]
We each like to paint a perfect portrait
Of the week, or the month ,or the year
Is it silly to think that you just might be
Better off or worse for the wear
[Chorus 2]
I - I - I am different
I - I have changed
And I don’t think of you much anymore
But maybe then I do
I - I - I am different
I - I have changed
And I don’t think of you much anymore
But maybe then I do
[Verse 3]
And now I stare at my reflection in your steeple
A revelation, an awakening, a light
You’re not the source of the emptiness I still feel
I just wrote an ending that I liked
[Chorus 3]
And I - I - I am different
I - I have changed
And I don’t think of you much anymore
But maybe then I do
And I - I - I know you’re different
I know you’ve changed
I bet you don’t think of me much anymore
But maybe then I do [3x]
‘Cause you know I do

Four-Door Sedan
04:39
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
I turn the wheel hard right
To an unfamiliar part of town
Late in the night
And drops of wet regret
Fallin’ on the dusty dash
As I sped towards a red light
[Pre-chorus 1]
I’m unrecognizable
Death at the scene
Nothing left to show
Or was this wishful thinking
As the flick, flick of the turn signal
Wakes me from a dream
[Chorus 1]
Four-door sedan
Show me where I’m going
What’s the plan?
Four-door sedan
Show me where I’m going
What’s the plan ‘till I get home?
[Verse 2]
Well I found God, found God
As a stack of papers waits for me
On the passenger seat
It’s love lost, love gained
As I look down on the lines to sign
Like some ugly defeat
[Pre-chorus 2]
I’ll pray for your forgiveness
I’ll pray for love
Pray for something to feel
Anything at all
Like the thump, thump in my heart
That distracts me from the road
[Chorus 2]
Four-door sedan
Show me where I’m going
What’s the plan?
Four-door sedan
Show me where I’m going
What’s the plan ‘till I get home?
‘Till I get home
[Verse 3]
A new day, same car
I lost everything including God and a wife,
But I’m alright.
But it was on these drives
I felt something that I can’t explain
Some mystical light
[Pre-chorus 3]
Did I imbue this car
With some kind of power?
How do you find light
In your darkest hour?
[Chorus 3]
Four-door sedan
Show me where I’m going
What’s the plan?
Four-door sedan
Show me where I’m going
What’s the plan ‘till I get home?
Four-door sedan
Show me where I’m going
What’s the plan?
Four-door sedan
Show me where I’m going
What’s the plan ‘till I get home?
‘Till I get home

[Verse 1]
Something’ sweet has found its way into my heart
Spirit guide, mystic love you pulled my soul out of the dark
Who am I?
Oh the things that I have done
Yet your light shines brighter than the sun
[Pre-chorus 1]
Something sweet
Ohhh
Something sweet
[Chorus 1]
Something sweet [3x]
Oh something sweet
Whoah ohh oh
Whoah ohh
[Verse 2]
The mountains rise higher than they did before
The wind it sings, trees they dance
Of your love forever more
But who am I?
Oh the things that I have done
Yet your light shines brighter than the sun
[Pre-chorus 2]
Something sweet
Ohhh
Something sweet
[Chorus 2]
Something sweet [3x]
Oh something sweet
Whoah ohh oh [3x]
[Bridge]
And can you mend my heart?
Sometimes it feels like it’s so far
Can you mend my heart?
Sometimes it feels, like it’s so far
But I can’t imagine where I’d be if I hadn’t found
[Chorus 3]
Something sweet [3x]
Oh something sweet
Whoah ohh oh [2x]
Sweet
Something sweet
Something sweet [2x]
Oh something sweet
Whoah ohh oh [4x]
Ohh…

The Last One
05:57

|
[Verse 1]
Our dusty turquoise dresser where we keep our clothes
Sits in the bedroom with the light turned way down low, oh
[Hook 1]
Ba-ba Ba-ba-da-da-da
Ba-ba Ba-ba-da-da
I watch you get undressed each night waiting to jump my bones
Now my old habits just seem criminal, I know
[Hook 2]
Ba-ba Ba-ba-da-da-da [2x]
Ba-ba Ba-ba-da-da
[Chorus 1]
Will you be-e-e the last one?
‘Cause both my wings are broken
And I couldn’t fly away from you
Will you be-e-e the last one?
So I won’t go on madly
Searching for my sanity once more
[Hook 3]
Ba-ba Ba-ba-da-da-da [2x]
Ba-ba Ba-ba-da-da
[Verse 2]
I dreamt last night in a pale moon light
You threw my clothes
Out on the front porch while it snowed, Whoah
I’m narcissistic, self-involved, and give too little sometimes
I tell you to give me space when you try to touch me in the night
Ohhh
[Chorus 2]
Will you be-e-e the last one?
‘Cause both my wings are broken
And I couldn’t fly away from you
Will you be-e-e the last one?
So I won’t go on madly
Searching for my sanity
Will you be-e-e the last one?
‘Cause darlin’, both our wings are broken
And I’ll never fly away from you
Will you be-e-e the last one?
So we won’t go on madly
Searching for our sanity once more
[Hook 4]
Ba-ba Ba-ba-da-da-da [4x]
Ba-ba Ba-ba-da-da

King at Last
05:04
|

|
[Verse 1]
Iron bars cast shadows
On my bruised and bound hands
And I’m no more a stranger
To this life that we planned
Can I…
[Chorus 1]
Have that moment back
Where I was king at last
And I only had love for you
Flew with falcon’s wings
Icarus hasn’t seen
And I only spoke words of truth
Oooooh
[Verse 2]
I I used to dream of constellations
Stars that joined hands to be one
But at such a great distance
I feel more like a dying sun,
Oh, can I…
[Chorus 2]
Have that moment back
Where I was king at last
And I only had love for you
Flew with falcon’s wings
Icarus hasn’t seen
And I only spoke words of truth
Oooooh [2x]
[Verse 3]
Now I’m lying on my deathbed
Can I pass through with peace?
Knowing I wasn’t a stranger
To the joys that love brings
And I..
[Chorus 2]
Have that moment back
Where I am king at last
And I only have love for you
Fly with falcon’s wings
Icarus hasn’t seen
And I only sing songs for you
Oooooh [4x]
