I once was like you So often afraid I once was felt like you Uncertain of these days I once felt like you In second place I once felt like you Alone in these days And then in lightening Comes forth the frightening And a change in the enlightment For the life excitement I once felt like you No gracious path I once felt like you The anger will pass And then in lightening Comes forth the frightening And a change in the enlightment For the life excitement I once was like you Hurt from with in I once felt like you The pain of this stealth I once felt like you Trying to move on I felt just like you Grasping for love And then in lightening Comes forth the frightening And a change in the enlighten For the life excitement

My dream reminds me the fear I face, no mind escape My dream escapes me The thread I grasp at worlds end My dreams, toucher me What was said, what was never said My dreams, embrace me The ghosts I have the pain and the past My dream, opens me To what I can, to all that I am My dream, embattle me I could of won, am I the only one My dreams, repeat the theme What could it mean, what didn’t I see

The Ghosts that Follow 06:14
lyrics

She’s in a Maze Tries to hide Never to give up Ghosts that follow Thru the back door To take her pills Lack of control Ghost that follow She’ll never live up To the man before her The more she takes Ghosts that follow Then in a moment She feels empowered The ghost are conquered No time to enjoy it Returns to the struggle As the pill begins to fade She’s tries to withhold And plot an escape Feel restrictions on Ghosts that follow Ever so trapped In an endless cycle Trying to fulfill The ghosts that follow Lack of control Of the walls around her Stuck on a stage Ghosts that follow Then in a moment She feels empowered The ghost are conqured No time to enjoy it Returns to the struggle As the pill begins to fade Never gets to finish What’s she started Limited on funds Ghosts that follow Never to live up To the one who controls her Always in fear Ghosts that follow The Changing stage Of the walls around her Never to give up Ghosts that follow Then in a moment She feels empowered The ghost are conqured No time to enjoy it Returns to the struggle As the pill begins to fade

So sorry Charlette I don’t mean to ignore you But the times today are so heavy Even though I need you I couldn’t put forth the effort As my eyes are now fading…..fading away Isn’t time for you to feel me Isn’t time to be together Don’t you have something to tell me Dreams and thoughts take us away So sorry Charlette You’re wondering where I am I’ve been gone without you Nothing stays the same I long to touch you Now I really need you I know it’s not far To feel so separate Isn’t time for you to feel me Isn’t time to be together Don’t you have something to tell me Dreams and thoughts take us away So sorry Charlette I know I can’t hurt you All Alone you must feel But your strength draws me in I can make an effort Tell you all I know The heavier the times My thoughts despair Isn’t time for you to feel me Isn’t time to be together Don’t you have something to tell me Dreams and thoughts take us away So sorry Charlette I gotta say good-bye again My life still needs me I gotta pay my way I know you don’t need me But I’ll miss you Moments together Can never fade

Battles 06:15
lyrics

I was gone, I was done, from this place Journey to, carry through, traveling away Afraid of, persuade of, the battles with in Battles fought, Battles lost, With no end I was tired, I was worn, drawn afraid Lay within, lay without, in my dreams No escape, mind escape, in my eyes Until now, until then, I see your smile I alone, I have known, what’s within Down below, up ahead, all instead In with you, out with it, all I feel Chin up, eyes down, continue it I can go, I can leave, from this face Hide again, hind insight, feel my way Deep inside, out with it, fly away Ground below, sky above, away with it I alone, I am gone, ghost no fade Running to, running in, feel no shame Out with it, down alone, carry away Battle won, Battles taught, away with it

Mother When 04:23
lyrics
buy track
I’ve been Fighting these internal fights Placed by you in my life All to try to satisfy Mother when Mother when We walked by the preacher tonight He had nothing to touch my life Off to another savior’s song Mother when Mother when My brother wandered in the night Looking for clues or some insight To find to bosom in their life Mother when Mother when All cashflow is gone in the wind All promises left in gypsy’s eyes Have all led to nothing but lies Mother when Mother when Father loved you as others have He gave up dreams and left with no man Alone he cried and now but died Mother when Mother when The tide has changed I’m on the other side See thru you seeing I was right No Confession to apologize Mother when Mother when

Wondering 04:48
lyrics
buy track
I have been here far too long Isn’t there more to see After all this time Haven’t we heard of everything Have we really touched it all Isn’t this what they warned us about Do you really feel this alone How time passes us all Is this what’s all about Like nobody felt this way before Waiting for something new To keep our mind at ease Were ever listening Is this all we have to see Place us in the arms Send us out to sea Now we’ll dance and sing To keep us young at heart One more for the road To misplace all of our doubts Have you heard a word I said Have you been here too Maybe not as loud as this I bet you have wondered too

Mr. Mudd 05:25
lyrics

He moves so gently – in his walk – gliding through life Family present – distant dreams - -in his mind He works so constant – on the road again – being in places So quickly to see – so often to return – return again He loves so loudly – in his heart – to injure know one Protect his family – save face in the dark He enjoys so lively – as he can – evening of excitement Madness in his thinking – lonely in the end He moves so gently – in his walk – gliding through life – family present Distant dreams – in his mind
