New Secret
04:40
|
|||
|
I guess I let you blow their minds again
I don’t think you doubted for a breath
Eye on the game, you make sure they know your name
You’re swift and you’re magnificent
I’m right here
I got a new secret
And a new apology
And I still long to be the way you are
I’ve been driving up and down the west coast
Fueled by a vision and a lie
These are the days
I can’t tell if I am inside this body or this mind
I’m right here
I got a new secret
And a new apology
And I still long to be the way you are
I’ll wait for my time
But I’m not standing on the side
I’ll stand inside the void

Obsidian
04:55
|

|
I’ve come to rely on supplies
Gonna keep the damn secret til I can’t
You know I want it to work how it did in my prime
There are too many questions about the plan
And I know you’re running from me now
I got too much empty promise and too much doubt
And I have not left the maze, I may never know how
Not enough obsidian to purify this house
I’ve come to seek refuge in the drive
And all the time that I spend in my mind
Fighting tigers and ghosts, getting wrapped up in the lie
Amphetamines and flowers and rye
And I know you’re running from me now
I got too much empty promise and too much doubt
And I have not been transforming to satisfy your style
I’ll still take the poison once in a while
Please let me believe that it can come back to me

Test of the Season
03:48
|

|
I stand before the test of the season
I’ve known it all along but I forget sometimes
Yes I’ve known it was mine
The reason to send that one on his way
Mine: the trial at hand, the muscle in each day
The lives I lead each day
I recall the last time this was my prayer
I’ve said it all before but I am different now
Yes I’ve said it was time
The time had come to walk another line
Time: another year, another night divine
Time: I’ve no regrets I trust in this design
I stand in my design
All at once it was the end of everything that mattered
Uprooted and replanted again
But it’s rooted in love
Love, I lead with love
I walk away with love
I start again with love
I can stand the test of the season
She’s tested me before and I am stronger now
Yes I’ll take it in stride
with or without my army by my side
Stride with or without the meaning I’ve assigned
Stride with or without the answer in my mind

On Witches Brew
05:05
|
|||
|
Saw you dreaming your latest dream
Heard you saying it’s your new thing
Saw your eyes on the trees
Heard your pain release
Saw you down at the bar again
Heard you’re hustling hard again
And I’m your biggest fan in all the land
And you’re headed in
You’re still the girl I knew
(Sippin on something new)
Sippin on witches brew
(And I might care)
And you’re breaking through
Breaking through to reveal me
Reveal me

Stamina
You must fly fretless now
Stamina
Baby we all know how
It’s just a matter of attitude
the more I do the more people I meet
You never know where anything will lead
And I know you want to believe
Stamina
Stay on the golden line
Stamina
Everything will be fine
Just keep your chin up son
Keep on doing you
But you must keep that regal view
And be ready for it to send you soaring
The party can come to you
How did you get to where you are?
Did you ever think you would be here?
How did you get to where you are?
Stamina
Even when you lose sight
Stamina
Somehow it feels right
And I know that I should take more time
To stop and let it simmer
And I’ll try
But the momentum is my greatest ally
And this light is burning out
Fuck yeah
The stars are at it again
Yeah we’ll pay attention to it
Yeah It’s almost time to cash in
Fuck yeah, fuck yeah, fuck yeah
How did you get to where you are?
Did you ever think you would be here?
How did you get to where you are?

In Motion Now
05:09
|

|
Nobody said it was easy
To live in this place
And it couldn’t be any easier
To be giving you space
Yes you are in motion now
And it’s sweet getting to miss you
It’s a fast ride
We’re not losing it
Caught up in circles
Til we think that it’s alright
Is it alright?
Nobody said it was guaranteed
That our interest would last
And I can’t guarantee my friend
That I’ll trust in this path
Sometimes on my better days
I can stop this mess in its tracks
It’s a fast ride
We’re not losing it
Caught up in circles
Til we think that it’s alright
Is it alright?
I can’t pretend that I’m ready
To decide what is real
I’m okay pretending I know what’s best
But I want the reveal
Every time you come back
It’s so sweet getting to know you

Sarah tries everything she can
Big fears, big lies she overcame
They used to rise from the ashes each time
they’d disguise their love as any other game
(Anyhow we can see it coming)
But not these days
(Any which way)
Now she’s wrapped in wholesome home
With folks who think they know
Sarah runs every single day
Holds the highs to her heart and hopes for changes
But oh those lows may be getting too old
And if the stars align and they’re strong again they’ll go
(Anyway, we can see you’re holding - Holding your own)
They will know
That they can walk alone
That time brings miracles
There will never be a time that feels right
When you’re a master of seeing both sides
There will always be losses and gains

Go Big
03:26
|
|||
|
I’ve never been able to stay in line
When I’m under your wing
I always thought you could fit into my dream life
As a once in a while thing
I wanted you, I stood by you, you were ready for me
But I wouldn’t have you
All I wanted was to sit by the seashore
Stay til sunset
But all I know is all or nothing
And I’m soaking wet
I can’t help it but I go big or go home
Wake up wondering
How I managed to take so big a detour
It’s fucking humbling
I battled you, I hated you, you mortified me
But all I wanted was you
All I wanted was to make friends in both worlds
Play and walk away
But I would sacrifice the glory for an honest day
No I can’t, I can’t dabble
I can’t have the best of both worlds
It’s better this way, bigger this way
See how I build my own world
See how I grow my own world
