Used To Be

Wake me when it's over
Let me sleep off this pain
Let me know when the coast is clear
When I won't think of you again
Give me one day of solace
Let all my questions lay to rest
Help me find some sweet distraction
To get me through this test
My mind's on fire - I'm under siege
Each thought's like a dagger laying me to bleed
I pray for the strength to fight for my sanity
For what I used to be
You don't know what you've done to me
'Cause I'll never show you a single tear
I'll let you walk away blamelessly
Blissfully unaware
That my mind's on fire - I'm under siege
Each thought's like a dagger laying me to bleed
I pray for the strength to fight for my sanity
For what I used to be
Your silence is poisoning me
Making me weaker each day
Sometimes I taste it bitter on my tongue
But it's not quite enough to do me in
I never felt so tortured in all my life
Never dreamed you could be so cold
All I want is an apology, some sign
That you cared for me
That you'll remember me
At all

Trouble

I know you're nothing but trouble, boy
I know you got no good in mind
But I like your kind of trouble, boy
You know I like what's on your mind
And I don't care if you take me down
Run me round til I hit the ground
Don't matter how hard I may fall
I don't mind the pain at all
It's no trouble
Don't have to be so delicate, boy
This skin is thicker than it seems
Won't have to be held accountable, boy
For whatever becomes of me
And I don't care if you take me down
Run me round til I hit the ground
Don't matter how hard I may fall
I don't mind the pain at all
I've got trouble on my mind
So much trouble on my mind
It's turning me inside out, it's turning me inside out
I think it's turning into something
To something I can't live without
I ain't afraid of this love in my heart
Don't wanna hide what's on my mind
I'll take my chance with the consequence
Gonna lay it all on the line
And I don't care if you take me down
Run me round til I hit the ground
Don't matter how hard I may fall
I don't mind the pain at all
It's no trouble

Burned It Down
04:28

|

Lay beside you, watch you sleep
I see the demons behind your eyes
They're the demons I unleashed
I watch them burning you alive
Wanna travel back in time
To when the garden was in bloom
Before the fruit was on the vine
Before the fullness of the moon
But there's no going back to hallowed ground
There's no going back to safe and sound
My memory will forever be a curse
I burned the garden down
I burned it down
So hand me the letter, this I'll wear
This mark that I deserve
And you the cross, you proudly bear
And all the beautiful scars you earned
You claim your place out in the sun
You're broken but redeemed
I pulled the thread, we came undone
There's no deliverance for the unclean
There's no going back to hallowed ground
There's no going back to safe and sound
My memory will forever be a curse
I burned the garden down
I burned it down
But I would have said yes
Don't you know I would have said yes

With The Ladies
03:50
|
|||
|
When I was young I chased bad boys around
The callous ones who always wore a frown
I liked 'em rough around the edges
The scratchier the better
But now the coarse exterior rubs me wrong
I'd rather spend time with the ladies
Well I like that easy way they walk
And I like the tender way they talk
I like the way they listen to every word you say
And show you what it is to be embraced
Prefer to spend time with the ladies
I don't care what you say
I do what I want anyway
Now fellas don't you pout
Life would be less colorful without you
But every year that I get older, I take less shit
And I grow bolder
And now I know just what I want
And that's to spend time with the ladies

Forged In Fire

She hears footsteps
She puts on her best
Casual fake smile
While she cleans up her mess
She hears the door creak
Down the hall
She hides 'cause she can't
Save him after all
Save him after all
Carefree, careless
She puts on her best
Princess nightgown
She forgets the rest
She forgets the rest
It's ok to tell the truth
It's ok
All these years later
With families of our own
You're still my refuge
My shelter in the storm
We were forged in fire
Always darkest before the dawn
It's ok to tell the truth
You're still my refuge and my shelter
We were forged in fire

Sisters Sing
04:09
|

|
Rise up Sisters, join the chorus
Of your ancient mothers calling
Rise up Sisters, let your heart sing
Out the song we are recalling
Rise up Sisters, find your voices
Now's the time, there's no more stalling
Sing out love
Sing out healing
Sing out in one voice
Sing like the rain that washes it all clean
Sisters, sing
Awaken Sisters, feel the quickening
Of that ancient new beginning
Awaken Sisters, to your power
Breathe it in, feel it building
Awaken Sisters, to the calling
Now's the time, there's no more stalling
Awaken love
Awaken healing
Awaken to one voice
Awaken the rain that washes it all clean
Sisters, sing
Listen Sisters, truth is whispering
Hear it in the quiet guidance
Listen Sisters, let it lead you
Step by step into the silence
Listen Sisters, to each other
Gather courage, all together now
Sing out love
Awaken healing
Listen to one voice
Sing on in the rain that washes us all clean
Sisters, sing

Won't Last Long
04:27
|

This won't last long
Though she swears it will
Her friends all exchange their knowing glances
Betting their spare change against her chances
Of falling in love
The good lord above will call her bluff
She'll never change
Though she swears she will
She tells herself, this time's forever
And she won't betray another lover
But deep down she knows
O lord, what's in store
It's hard, so hard to stay true
And she knows, she knows what she's got to do
To let someone in and begin
To unravel the tangle within
And open the door
O lord, this time
She keeps it light
It's easier that way
Fulfills any wish that you can imagine
You can't resist her show of passion
But deep down you know
O lord, her heart's not yours
It's hard, so hard to stay true
And she knows, she know what she's got to do
To let someone in and begin
To unravel the tangle within
And open the door
O lord, this time

Light
04:35

You've been to the sea
You've been a raging storm
You've been to the edge
You've been a hollow form
You've been taking all this on
You've carried more than your share
You've been cast aside
You disappeared into thin air
But you believed
You peered out through the cracks of your heart
And you saw light, enough to stay
And I see you standing in that light today
You've been taken down
But you refused to stay there
You've been left behind
And how you knew your way there
You've been taken for a ride
Down a lonesome highway
You were left to die
But you would not go gently
'Cause you believed
You peered out through the cracks of your heart
And you saw light, enough to stay
And I see you standing in that light today
You believed
As you peered out through the cracks of your heart
And you saw light, enough to stay
And I see you standing in your light

Time Marches On
03:32
|
|||
|
I wasn't ready for you
I was doing all right
But you struck like lightning and set
My whole world on fire
While I wait for you to reveal yourself
I think you're waiting on me
Both of us locked in our silent regret
And time marches on
I wasn't ready for you
I'm afraid I won't ever be
How cruel to give me a taste
Of a love I will never see
While I wait for you to reveal yourself
I think you're waiting on me
And time marches on

Lakota Prayer
03:35
|

|
Teach me how to trust
My heart and mind
My intuition
My inner knowing
Senses of my body
And the blessings of my spirit
Teach me how to trust these things
So I may enter sacred space
And love beyond my fear
And so walk in balance
With the passing of each glorious sun
