Making Up
You think you can never win
I’ve been telling you the same things over again
It’s not like you don’t know the truth
So why do you act so confused
I’ve been hoping you might see
The way you make me feel when you look at me
I’ve been talking in my sleep
And when I speak the words they don’t sound like me
Cause there’s a haze over us
Making stains of tears and rust
From the pain of this distrust
But I hope that we will be making up, making up
I think I have a lot to lose
Maybe you can save this by just being you
I know that deep wounds survive
By being fed so many angry lies
The yellowed photographs of you and me
Paint a cautionary tale of joy and ease
But you’ve been talking in your sleep
Saying words that offer a cure for this disease
But there’s a haze over us
Making stains of tears and rust
From the pain of this distrust
But I hope that we will be making up, making up
We are not an old book with some pages gone
Not just a distant star to make a wish upon
This is gonna take some work, but with any luck, we’ll be making up
But there’s a haze over us
Making stains of tears and rust
From the pain of this distrust
But I hope that we will be making up, making up

Wither
There is peace on earth with you tonight
I searched the stars for your face
My only wish was to make it right
So we could move on from this place
I am trying to be the one
Who wades through the thickness and grime
Never silent, mostly strong
I won’t wither on the vine
I won’t let you, I won’t let you
I will take you, I will lead you
I won’t let you, you won’t linger
You won’t wither
I have always been a fan of dreams
They take us from darkness to light
I will hold you even though it seems
You’re falling away into night
I won’t let you, I won’t let you
I will take you, I will lead you
I won’t let you, you won’t linger
You won’t wither

Leave it Broken
V1
Do you see what I see?
If we don’t wake from sleep
Our dreams will start unravelling
It’s a void moving in warp speed
Prechorus
And we’re entangled in the trenches
Waiting for reprieve
And nothing hurts like knowing
Staying still won’t bring relief
Chorus
Emotions going through me as I’m going through the motions
Guarded with a painful past, it’s easier to leave it broken
V2
Do you fear the scarcity?
Or what it means to believe
That we can’t talk through hard things
But silence is so deafening
Prechorus
The morning paints the day anew
With hues that bring the truth
Let me go, but hold my hand
It’s not the end, so let’s begin
Chorus
Emotions going through me as I’m going through the motions
Guarded with a painful past, it’s easier to leave it broken
Scattered, ocean deep we are
Let’s swim right to the closest shore
Catch our breath and not ignore
That it’s easier to leave it broken, broken, can’t leave it broken…

Rows To Hoe

Maybe she was 8 years old, a fall breeze through the window
Supper on the stove
Maybe she had something to say but she got choked up on smoke anyway so
She let it go
Maybe her imagination was bigger than her situation
She liked to hope
She dreamed of wishing wells, the wilderness and fairy tales, so she clung to those
And
Words were hard, but emotions ran deep
Southern roots had that mystique
In those days as it was told, the saying goes
We all had hard rows to hoe, hard rows to hoe
Her town always looked the same and everybody seemed to know her name, she wanted that to change
Maybe she was ready to go, had a broke down car and no hand to hold, but she was bold
Maybe her bad decisions, would lead to revelations, open up her eyes
She dreamed of butterflies, mama’s cornbread and blackberry vines, she held those tight in her mind
Cause
Words were hard, and emotions ran deep
Her Southern roots gave her that mystique
And as she would grow, she came to know
We all have hard rows to hoe, hard rows to hoe
She’ll never forget where the water ran cold
Through that old creek where she played and made
A family of pebbles and stones, painted them deep blue, red, and gold
Glued them together, set it on her dresser, pretended the were happy as ever because she wanted to believe
But
Words were hard, and emotions ran deep
Her Southern roots gave her that mystique
In that moment she came to know, as the story goes
We all have hard rows to hoe, hard rows to hoe

Evergreen

There’s a leaf on a branch of an evergreen
It’s always there so what does it mean?
Does it represent consistency?
Maybe my mind sees it as symmetry
Can it teach me the meaning of safe?
Is it a fallacy, am I too late
To know the warmth of certainty
If only for a day
Chorus
Will you let me sit here and waste the day away?
It feels so good to know that we can be the same
Just like an evergreen is endless, so are we
V2
When we wash our hands of everything
Do we give up on the simple dreams
Of the universe and its offerings
Maybe that’s why we think we’re drowning
If we search the fractures of our lives
Will we find the meaning of our cries?
Reflections of what we could have tried
Or indulgence of things we should deny
Chorus
Will you let me sit here and waste the day away?
It feels so good to know that we can be the same
Just like an evergreen is endless, so are we
Bridge
Wondering minds want to know
Where do we come from, where do we go?
Chorus
Will you let me sit here and waste the day away?
It feels so good to know that we can be the same
Just like an evergreen is endless, so are we
