The Wedge

Used to look through our pictures
Seeing them on the wall
Oh we’re two different people
The difference seem kind of small
But we’re talking two languages
and neither one stands up at all
lookin through the pictures on the wall
You used to know my heart
You used to know me
Never thought we part
You used to know my heart
The years when we would play
The same songs we would sang
But that wedge has gone deeper everyday
Driven by religion and pain
The days gone by, damage’s been done
Can’t sing a song that's already been sung
You used to know my heart
You used to know me
Never thought we part
You used to know my heart
The days gone by, the damage’s been done
Can’t sing a song that's already been sung
You used to know my heart
You used to know me
Never thought we part
You used to know my heart
You used to know my heart
You used to know me
Never thought we part
You used to know my heart

Blood Runs Deep

Oh her dad would scream and shout
No one ever knew what about
And all of her days
She spent steps from her grave
she promised to never be like that man
using your fist and fear to make them understand
she packed up her things and ran she was only 18
she searched for a new life soon became a wife
she had kids of her own
she had a house and made a home
but little did she know
that man she'd become
they only wanted to know that they were loved
but they spent most of her time feeling alone
her hand hit hard her words cut deep to the bone
she only wanted to know she’d been loved
when we look close in the mirror
we ignore that beast we've become
try and treat our cancer
but our blood runs too deep
When her kids left home
and left her all alone
her insides swelled
When she knew what she had done
i pushed them away she screamed
i became that hateful man i promised not to be
she screamed and she shout oh god what have i done
i never wanted to hurt the ones i loved
when we look close in the mirror
we ignore that beast we've become
try and treat our cancer
but our blood runs too deep
this story sounds familiar and most can relate.
we're that woman. that beast. that fear. And that hate.
we all want to feel like we are loved.
life's too short to be someone we hate.

Ghost Town

Oh this town, I can relate.
And I feel my heart is at stake.
As I walk right on through,
this haunting memory
that reminds me of you.
Give me one more chance
Before you go off and dance
oh ive been here before
Is this dejavu or is it just you
Cause we’re making the same ol mistakes
Just like before
And I’ll wait, for my judgement day
And I’ll wait, for my judgement day
Oh this glass I’m holding
I am looking through
It’s been used so many times
Just like me and you
So I smash the glass but keep all the pieces so i can break through
Oh this town, I can relate.
And I feel my heart is at stake.
As I walk right on through,
this haunting memory
that reminds me of you.

Dark Days

People say keep your friends close by
And keep your enemies closer
in your sights
Guess that would make despair
my closest friend
I’m not ready for it all to end
I would cross the ocean for you if you dared me to
I would cross the ocean for you
I would cross the ocean for you if you dared me to
I would cross the ocean for you
Where did I lose my way
How did this ground get so
soft I might fall right on through?
I based all this mess on you
But still...
Don’t let me go
Don’t let me down
Don’t let me go darlin
Don’t let me down
I’m goin down this dark road again
I’m goin down this dark road again
Don’t let me go
Don’t let me down
Don’t let me go darlin
Don’t let me down
I’m goin down this dark road again
I’m goin down this dark road again
I’m goin down this dark road again

Shoulda Coulda Woulda

All the things you could have would have but never had the heart to try
Kept you rollin in the dirt now more scared than when you thought you had tried
Now it’s gone and left you forever or at least that’s as far as you can see
Cause life’s as good as the sweetness you’re showing me
Cause life’s as good as the sweetness you’re showing me
Now you’re staring down those tracks, you had all the reasons to go
But excuses were made and even more bills to pay
So you sit around and you justify all the reason why you didn’t try
Cause life’s full of tries until you die
Cause life’s full of tries until you die
Don’t let it all pass you by
Don’t let it all pass you by
Don’t let it all pass you by
Now life’s gonna try and get you at every chance that it gets
So you can choose to run and hide or take it stride by stride
Well maybe we’ll all come back as ants or maybe just as cats
But no one knows exactly until we die
But no one knows exactly until we die
Don’t let it all pass you by
Don’t let it all pass you by
Don’t let it all pass you by
