With my head down I can barely see the ground I used to be fine But all I see is your eyes

I'm Not Looking For You 03:40
lyrics
buy track
I've searched and haven't found I've knocked and doors remained shut I've looked for you, but blindness still remains I've wanted things to change, but everything's the same I've retreated and taken a seat I've hidden behind these words I've planted myself on this barstool Cause I'm tired of looking for you With my hands in the air With my feet on the floor With whiskey in my veins With my pockets run poor You know where to find me You know it's true That I'm done, I'm not looking for you You can search in all the wrong places You can look in all types of scenes But to find me, you need only go To the place where I'll wait for you to show It's exhausting and I am tired Of searching for something I fear has expired If you're out there, it's up to you My flag is up, and I am through

My Turn 02:31
lyrics
buy track
Am I just another song to be sung Am I just another melody to be hummed by no one When's it gonna be my turn to flow from your lips Or am I just another tune to drift silently into the mist Everybody's got their songs, and I've heard most of them And they've got someone to sing along, but I want to know when My melody will fly away From the mouth of an angel, into the brightness of the day I know my song can be sung I know the tune is easy enough But I'm so tired of no one knowing the words Oh my God, when's it gonna be my turn

Mouth 03:33
lyrics
buy track
I told you to not say a word But your mouth kept on moving And I'm pretty sure I heard But I didn't want to fell it Cause I knew what you were saying When your mouth kept on moving And my heart stopped Oh I want to spend time with you But not like that, no not like that

Gideon 04:08
lyrics
buy track
Where have you been? Where've your hands been when I've needed them Cause I've heard your strong But I feel you've been a joke all along I know I'm weak Desperate and searching to see What you're capable of Cause this winepress makes things so tough I need a sign Cause my breath can't possibly find A soul to make this worth it I'll comply this time Give me the strength that you find And my men will choose To sacrifice everything for you Cause I have nothing left I've stood at your altar and wept Cause this seems absurd Like a child I've given up to your word Take me down Cause I'm scared, but I'll be your clown We'll all make the sound And kingdoms will fall to the ground Cause your sign, and your breath Have made this worth it

Hard Times 02:27
lyrics
buy track
This isn't easy, it's not what I planned upon But I'll go down swinging with the rest In hopes that being broken Might raise my weary feet To brush the gates so You can carry me These are hard times There are tears being cried But I don't want them falling out in vain These are hard times I have no more strength to try So take me down so I can walk again Take me down so I can walk again (You know I'm trying hard to walk again) Why do You make my hear so sad at times? It's like a levy torn by a hurricane I guess it's evidence That things aren't as they should be But could You help me out or make things easy?
