Where Love Meets War
05:15

And we find ourselves here once again at the point where love meets war
Bring each other to that breaking point with knowing looks that hit the core
You may throw a few stones my way, I might drop a few words I regret
And we find ourselves here once again at the point where love meets war
A political statement till they had us, a couple of brats gonna shake things up
She’s the idealist, got that mass appeal, but she cries a lot more, that’s part of the deal
I might be trying to keep the peace but if you push me I’ll unleash the beast
She does guilt, I can’t say the same, I am who I am, I won’t be tamed
I love like a hermit, she loves like a fable, I breathe less when I’m worried, she says God is Able.
And we find ourselves here once again at the point where love meets war
Bring each other to that breaking point with knowing looks that hit the core
You may throw a few stones my way, I might drop a few words I regret
And we find ourselves here once again at the point where love meets war
Whether guided or inspired, it takes its toll, but it’s more than a show, the bliss and the woe
From restless wonder to breathless resistance, the two headed demon, we take care of business
No doubt she’s the rose no doubt I’m the thorn but it’s a packaged deal you have been warned
Time in time out, breathe in breathe out, if you’re running away you might have figured out the score
I love like a hermit, she loves like a fable, I breathe less when I’m worried, she says God is Able.
And we find ourselves here once again at the point where love meets war
Bring each other to that breaking point with knowing looks that hit the core
You may throw a few stones my way, I might drop a few words I regret
And we find ourselves here once again at the point where love meets war

Wasted Time
03:54

Carry my name cause it won’t fly
carry my name, can’t let it die
carry it straight to my grave
yeah it’ so much wasted time.
One foot and then the next
can’t tell if I’m cursed or if I’m blessed,
we all get what we deserve,
and I’ve caused my share of hurt.
If you can see the light I’ve been reachin’ for
you’ll understand the time I’ve spent wanting more -
and I won’t be forgiven for the blessings I’ve let wither
but right or wrong I’ll go on.
Done it before, it doesn’t matter, wanna do it again,
count my mistakes they form the lake in which I sink or I swim,
you’re laughing at me thinking I’m free, thinking I’m playing a game,
never sure if I’m full of pain or full of rage.
Who you do it for, who you do it for?
Do we want to be free or rest all in our dreams?
Do we want to stay attached to the shackles that we cling?

Crazy World
03:46
|

Day after day, and night after not, we ready ourselves for the struggle but are tired of the fight.
But day after day and night after night we ready our soul to take a step towards the light
A foolish love in a crazy world, nothing needs make sense - survival of the fittest has brought us to the edge.
Foolish love in a crazy world, we hold our heads high without repent, and we step on everything we would call heaven sent
Can you hear the birds singing, can you see the butterflies so pretty?
Can you see the sunsetting, what is all our money getting?
Where is our ambition headed?
We open our eyes and then forget it
we open our eyes and then forget it,
we open our eyes and then we let it go.

Our Love is Nothing New
04:37

Our love is nothing new -
timeless suffering, we were born to lose
We walk this path together,
but you play the game while writing the rules -
I watch in wonder and do as I choose
Our love is nothing new -
still I grasp on and hope for clues,
when you’ve been clear that this world is not real for you,
and my jealous spirt can’t handle the truth,
my acoustic soul can’t move with the tunes
of an electric love that soars above the ruins
of a heart clinging to another time
in a world that only I can seem to remember
of when I was yours and you were mine.
Our love is nothing new -
few have found peace in a world built for two -
when everything changes except for the One
and my jealous spirt can’t handle the truth,
and my acoustic soul can’t move with the tunes
of an electric love that soars above the ruins
of a heart clinging to another time
in a world that only I can seem to remember
of when I was yours and you were mine.
Can’t know peace without chaos -
can’t grasp life without death.
This world’s made up of moments
and pain’s the constant caress.

With the Ancestors
06:56
|

You May wonder when you look at me why I look so worn
My soul longing to be free is captured in a storm
It visits/ here and there it does, with ancestors come and gone
And it wonders when it will finally drop the bonds of its earthly form.
Come and gone, everything that we’ve prayed on,
The ancestors only know what awaits our wretched souls.
For manufactured dreams we will scrape, claw and fight,
As if power, fame, or fortune could shed the darkness of this night
The night of a restless spirit trying to find their way home
And knowing only the thorns that cover the path on which they roam.
We worship bodies when they’re young, as dreams to be bought and sold
And cry over them when the passage of time has wrapped them in its fold
Like children who have yet to learn the simple facts of life,
We cover our eyes to death until it comforts our bedside.
Won’t you take me oh take me Lord into your embrace?
Won’t you take me oh take me Lord I’m fed up with this place?
I’m fed up with this place oh Lord, I’m fed up with this place
We have found a way to turn all your love into hate.

Oh oh, just a frog and a butterfly
Oh oh, just a frog and a butterfly
Earth bound, though I can jump –
sometimes I think I could fly.
From time to time you might touch down,
or simply pass me by
Dancing through this world,
as you go about your work,
you might think you’re unseen.
I slop through the gutters,
but it slides off my skin
so, people think I am clean.
Only when I jump or you land do we see eye to eye,
and I forget the differences between you and I.
Sometimes I might try to drag you down
’cause I’m unable to fly,
but this mud that I’m living in is not good for your wings
and I’m a little scared of heights.
Oh oh, just a frog and a butterfly
Oh oh, just a frog and a butterfly
You keep on flying -
that’s who you are, that is what you do
I’ll just keep on trudging along
there’s plenty of slop to sort through
And I will observe and hop around
and when sometimes you need a rest,
touch down you’ll find a place by me
- for your company I will be blessed.
Only when I jump or you land do we see eye to eye,
and I forget the differences between you and I.
Sometimes I might try to drag you down
’cause I’m unable to fly,
but this mud that I’m living in is not good for your wings
and I’m a little scared of heights.
Sometimes I might try to drag you down
’cause I’m unable to fly,
but this mud that I’m living in is not good for your wings
and I’m a little scared of heights.
Oh oh, just a frog and a butterfly
Oh oh, just a frog and a butterfly
just a frog and a butterfly
just a frog and a butterfly
just a frog and a butterfly.
