Satisfied Vacancy 05:59
lyrics

I'm not satisfied unless I hurt you Too much time under your curfew wishing If I'm classified as a virtue Keep me still while my whole world’s spinning Cause something’s not right and I can feel it in my bones Nothing like a love that’s born Feel and shed the stone There’s a vacancy inside my head You can rest your legs and you can rest your head Something’s not right and you can feel it in your bones I don’t think I can Be that alright man Open to write the words that come to mind Always a clear day Satisfied vacancy Flowers die, our last goodbye Feel and shed the stone One at a time they come and go Letting you know, which face to show Waking me up and calm me down Wait for the sun to reach the ground The flowers will bloom and so will you Follow me home, step into my tomb One of kind you won’t forget Heart and a soul, that lack regret One at a time they come and go Letting you know which face to show Waking me up and calm me down Wait for the sun to reach the ground The flowers will bloom and so will you Follow me home, step into my tomb One of kind you won’t forget A heart and soul, that lack regret

Chew Your Gravel 05:32
lyrics

Chew on your gravel Don’t spit out the stones Swallow jagged ends That plague you Tear off the hand That makes your bed Make yours instead Sleep well through the night And please don’t make a sound After a bad dream Before you cut all lines You must send word This ship is sinking Shovel out the water Bury your burdens Beer and wine make people blind So who will confess? When your mouth runs dry The years go by Was it all for something? You had the chance To make amends But you can’t go without it And it feels so strange To shed the weight Of all the bullshit in my brain And when you shoved that dagger into her heart I’ve said all to say Without cracking my teeth I’ll sing in the void And no one will hear my voice Under my skin I Feel an ocean that stirs Perpetual screams Echoing off my bones Our condition Perched upon my mind Love for one And none for all that’s fine This is a raft with a hole we poked in it Laugh as the candles go out in the wind And we... no no no

When Time Flies By 02:36
lyrics
buy track
Once we were children Not a care in the world I ain't have much on my head but a couple of curls A life I miss dearly But the past is the past If I spend it weeping I don't think that I'll last Because you'll laugh and you'll sing and you'll do many things, in this life that you call your own And the people you love, they'll all fly off like doves, now it's your turn to take the throne As we get older One thing becomes clear Time waits for no one Don't let it interfere So talk to that girl you like With her glimmering eyes They shine like the road your on so Say your goodbyes To the fears in your heart, and the faults in your art, may your troubles fade to gray To the pain in your brain, that you just can't explain, as you sob in this little cafe To the things that I do that remind me of you, that leave me in disarray To all of your troubles that still leave you puzzled You've just got to live in today

Southern Stars 03:55
lyrics
buy track
As I lay under these southern stars The sand, the waves, myself and mars I stare above and watch the show And think about the great unknown We're so caught up with This harsh reality Relax and take a hit And sing this melody I got the flow And you oughta know That this was the perfect night Watching the stars And playing guitars We living that privileged life Sand on our feet That song on repeat What the hell is it called again? Your sister's a dime But my heads in the sky As I sit back with my best friend Under southern stars My fears go au revoir My mind is obsolete This warm breeze by the sea As I lay under these southern stars The sky itself is a memoir astonishment with every gaze Or is it just this purple haze This captivating hue she never disappoints A hand comes into view Bro please just take the joint I'm just a fool who's breaking the rules and living his greatest life I am who I am two sheets to the wind Before it hits twilight Vacationing here Vacationing there a common adventurer I take it by day and I gotta say that I kinda like it here Under southern stars My fears go au revoir My mind is obsolete This warm breeze by the sea

The Gift of Life 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Picked up on the side of the road Got guitar in hand, no further home And time has come to pass me by And every time you showed me Those chords, I could not help but To take them home and fly Fast forward 20 years and You’re still the man who Lived to let me write Sit down and change ya strings And learn to sing About the gift of life The gift of life Don’t lose sight Looking back at past mistakes We, memories are held so dearly Let’s, take this and have ourselves a night In times of war and peace There’s, those that can take the pain and They know, it will be alright Kick back have a drink and Maybe smoke, some illegal things and we’ll talk About the gift of life The gift of life Don’t lose sight
