Farewell

I'm not trying to deceive all these people staring at me by explaining what I mean.
'Cause sometimes I don't know just how to be believed about anything that wasn't meant for me.
No more silence for the thieves. Oh I know, I know, I know it all. Ain't nothing wrong with me.
My eyes are burning and my hearts wrapped in unease. Though, no one seems to care about a thing.
The sun begins to shiver
Your time is running out
Farewell to the broken hunter
Follow your meadow out

Once More
03:09
|

One more time left on my own, now I've become aware that nothing in my life's been right for, oh so many years.
The truth is I don't love the way I've been here once before, but I've been "fine" so many times, maybe, I'm just bored.
In all these ways I've been trying to say, "there's only lies on my mind", I just can't believe.
Bitterness leaves me alone as long as I'm aware of all this hatred in my heart I won't be ensnared.
But, what's the point being loved if I already know my lovers lied, and my baby died, and I don't know where is home.
In all these ways I've been trying to say, "there's only lies on my mind", I just can't believe.
Little peace of mind choking on my worth.
I don't compromise when I'm feeling old as dirt.
And it's all we are. It's all we are.
In all these ways I've been trying to say, "there's only lies on my mind", I just can't believe.

Running up and down my spine, like you do
What's the point of sin?
If you can win, might as well just lie again
Have a heart, or, use your mind
'Cause you're failing again, sink or swim, you know that I'm in
So, I swallowed all my pride, and you're killing me slowly with your hate
Is this my fight for a cruel sense of life?
You made me feel alright, but only when I finally say...
You're gonna get your way
Now you're sinking deeper
Trying to prove that the times you've shared have made you prepared to lead those left in despair
It's the hard lines you can't choose
'Cause you're running again, sink or swim, you know that I'm in
So, I swallowed all my pride, and you're killing me slowly with your hate
Is this my fight for a cruel sense of life?
You made me feel alright, but only when I finally say...
You're gonna get your way

Never failed to find the lies behind your eyes, spoken softly, I won't mind.
Now, on my own, I just need to go, but where I'll never know.
When I run into your arms and try to hide
I don't know how I'm supposed to finally say
Who's to blame?
Always asking why the love that's in my life it doesn't match what's on my mind.
Well, I don't know how I'm supposed to grow when all I feel is old.
When I run into your arms and try to hide
I don't know how I'm supposed to finally say
Who's to blame?
Always in a lie
(One more time. One more time 'til I find)
And I don't know why
When I run into your arms and try to hide
I don't know how I'm supposed to finally say
Who's to blame?

Ghosted

I must have kissed you a thousand times.
Like some bottle of cheap wine, drink you up until sunrise.
But, I've been this way since I was 24
Living life like I just needed more than I could afford.
Talking sweet and kissing me on the side
Telling me that I'm your only guy, move it on down the line.
You say I'm cute and that you like my style
Well, honey, why don't you just stay a while instead of running wild?
Now I got to feel some love, like I'm under the...
Gun and out of time
Trading it all for the bottom line
Feel it in my mind
Will I ever know that I'm your ghost?
I'm tasting whiskey left on your breath
Your lying times show you've got no respect for where I'm heading next.
Truth be told, I'd never thought I'd do all these things you seem to put me through
Guess I'm just another fool.
Clear the smoke that's burning my eyes
Light me up and use me one more time
Ashes when I arrive.
Ashamed of all the times I couldn't take the truths that show themselves before I wake
and dream of my mistakes.
Now I got to feel some love, like I'm under the...
Gun and out of time
Trading it all for the bottom line
Feel it in my mind
Will I ever know that I'm your ghost?
I'm your ghost

A Pill Called Stress
04:35

The only way I can say this little ruse holds my fate.
Lovers' child, don't you beg for something more, something great.
Suspend your beliefs as you come and seek the greatest wonder
Lifestyles that make you feel the fool.
I'm disturbed by the trend that lets you win when you're thought as better
Instead of being loved for you.
Loneliness I feel inside staring in these bloodshot eyes.
Everyone that's full of pride, telling me their right.
(No...)
Let's try and be something...
(No...)
Let's try and be something real enough to be the one
That everybody's giving up on
(No...)
Let's try and be something real.
From the words of the wise, "It'll come in time, if you just do better."
"Stay tough and don't you bend the rules."
Selling out, buying in, where did you begin to find the pleasure
Of saying all these things you rue?
Loneliness I feel inside staring in these bloodshot eyes.
Everyone that's full of pride, telling me their right.
(No...)
Let's try and be something...
(No...)
Let's try and be something real enough to be the one
That everybody's giving up on
(No...)
Let's try and be something real.
(Let's try and be something real)

All I Can Say
03:45

Wander 'til the lights went down
What have I found?
Lessons from a broken town
The only sound.
It's all I can say
Of lifestyles that fade.
So, can I know
When I walk this road?
Tested by what I've heard
From all these words.
Looking for the signs to prove
The larger truth.
It's all I can say
Of lifestyles that fade.
So, can I know
When I walk this road?
All things believed
Find some humility
Don't be deceived
By those lies of need
It's all I can say
Is there something wrong with me
Trying to find some way to bring back harmony?
This begs the question, why
Faith that has been needed is so hard to find?
It's all I can say
Of lifestyles that fade
So, can I know
When I walk this road?
All things believed
Find some humility
Don't be deceived
By those lies of need
It's all I can say

Know and Go

The day starts the same, like yesterday.
I'm finding hard to wake up smiling when all I feel is pain.
No more surprises left within my life.
Lovers gone with the light.
Now there's just no time left to be sane.
Lord knows I tried to realize this world is growing cold
Maybe if I, in due time, could find a way to ever know
In the end we could possibly be living for what we need
Oh, I tried living in this life with all these lonely lies
Then I roam down in my soul.
Grown so tired of living life on fools' gold.
Never forgetting they didn't make me, like all these feelings set free.
So outside my mind I'll surely fade.
Lord knows I tried to realize this world is growing cold
Maybe if I, in due time, could find a way to ever know
In the end we could possibly be living for what we need
Oh, I tried living in this life with all these lonely lies
(All away...)
Lord knows I tried to realize this world is growing cold

One more drop into the sea
Rippling out now don't believe you're in need.
You never cared where or when
I lost it all, just don't pretend we're all friends.
Well, if all these things I own are deep down in my soul
How could I owe you more than you could know?
Is it only me that believes your words are unclean?
I know they're only rules (I know they're only rules)
Take a look and find where we all end up in due time
The true bottom line (The true bottom line)
Worthless though I may be
You sell me all the things you seem to believe.
Lost my steam not long ago
I feel like this life has just grown into stone.
Well, the last thing I should say
Is, "won't you go away?"
My heart is broken and you think I should pay.
Is it only me that believes your words are unclean
I know they're only rules (I know they're only rules)
Take a look and find where we all end up in due time
The true bottom line (The true bottom line)
When you and I realize it's fate
(Is it good enough?)
So, why do I, why do I just run away?
(Is it good enough?)
And all my life, all my life has surely changed
(Is it good enough?)
At the end of it all, at the end of it all
(Is it good enough?)

Honesty

Humbled by the thoughts I have been ungrateful for the times we've shared.
Ending the fun that we were never having couldn't have been fair.
It's not the best of me you'll see
So, I'll just keep coming clean
I've spent enough time on your needs
Now I believe this shouldn't be
Now I believe this shouldn't be
Now, I believe
Tell me what you've done and I'll say I'm sorry
While you walk on by.
Left here wondering why I have to worry
About when you'll try.
It's not the best of me you'll see
So, I'll just keep coming clean
I've spent enough time on your needs
Now I believe this shouldn't be
Now I believe this shouldn't be
Now, I believe

Driving Home

My eyes keep on falling low
Wandering these same ole' roads
Lost before I'm old.
No lie, wishing I would die
Maybe, find some open skies
Some ways to feel alive.
But, my feet keep on dragging me
Somewhere I don't want to be
But I need.
In all these words I can't deny the love inside
Or, ways that we'll arrive on time
So, I sit and wonder, "what could be the truth inside these feelings?"
Now, time rolls on, even though it all's been so long
Since I could go back home
Preacher try and comfort me
Saying all these things believed
Mean anything to me.
So, I start to tell you why
Nothing matters in my eyes
Then I find.
In all these words I can't deny the love inside
Or, ways that we'll arrive on time
So, I sit and wonder, "what could be the truth inside these feelings?"
Now, time rolls on, even though it all's been so long
Since I could go back home

Tired Eyes

I don't know what to say about myself
Now you know I hate the way I behave.
The times weren't good enough for you
But say, sweet heart, what will you do when the day is through?
Don't try to beg and plead for something more than I can be
I won't be deceived.
For all these echoes in my mind saying, "I love you," for the thousandth time
I might as well try.
It's through the wastelands of my mind
I can't seem to find
So, I try and stay wise
If only in your eyes...
Lonely as I may be
I'll tell you all it's fine to leave though I'm in need.
You take my hand and finally say
You know you don't have to run away, but I can't stay.
It's through the wastelands of my mind
I can't seem to find
So, I try and stay wise
If only in your eyes...
Only the hardest times...

Healing
04:57

Time just keeps moving on, but I feel I'm growing old today.
The ways that I choose to say that I don't mind even when I just lie awake.
'Cause you're gone
Are you healing down in the sun?
Are you healing down?
You're gone away
(Gone away)
Days haven't been too kind, though, I've only tried to find my place.
You know that I'm still alive. So, when I rise the lowest times can't keep me fine.
'Cause you're gone
Are you healing down in the sun?
Are you healing down?
You're gone away
(Gone away)

Faint Rise Seattle, Washington
Faint Rise was created, in part, to help cope with personal tragedy and loss.
Half written
songs, and a uncertain direction, began to turn into an avenue for self expression. With the assistance of friends, in both energy and desire, the creative process turned into one of joy and celebration. A reminder that life is a mix of experiences, both good and bad, yet equally valuable in growth.
