1. Introspective Island 4:01
These days seem to move so fast
Time flys from the present to past
We forget so easily what its like to be free
Caught up in this merry-go-round
One day you’re up, one day you’re down
You gotta step back and rise to see
That sometimes you just wanna hide
and splash around in the low tide
on an intro spective island in the sun,
wanna lose myself in the sun.
One day you catch a glimpse of it
But its way off in the distance
And you think to yourself, you’ll never lose it this time
But you cover it with all these lies
And give yourself good alibis
So you can write it off as figment of your mind
That sometimes you just wanna hide
and splash around in the low tide
on an intro spective island in the sun,
wanna lose myself in the sun....

2. Born to You 4:18
I remember the day, you walked out the doorway
I drove you downtown in the rain,
To stay with your friend for awhile.
I came home to desolate, empty bed, empty place.
We had love in every way,
Except the battle line I crossed that day.
Give you love in every way,
Except when demons drugged my way
The choice is yours, and yours, OK?
The choice is your to go or stay.
So, hold my hand, I am, born to you again.
I remember the day, you walked in the doorway
You said “lets give this one more try”
Shut your mouth and dont ask why
But I slipped back to my old ways
Fought some more and compromised our tastes
We’d love again, for weeks on end
Then circle back to bad places again
Give you love in every way,
Except when demons drugged my way
The choice is yours, and yours, OK?
The choice is your to go or stay.
So, hold my hand, I am, born to you again...

3. Walk Beside 3:26
You can feel it in the air, see it everywhere,
there’s too much going round,
not enough space to grow
deny it all you want, you know,
the hammers coming down., Judgement day will come.
cause when the walls come tumbling down,
you build them back up twice as tall.
Before the fall, oh pride comes before the fall
When the road ahead is to much for me
And my demons catch up to me,
Oh, you’re the one I walk beside
And sometimes I start to see
Allot better than I used to see
When you’re the one I walk beside
You know some people will say,
you just gotta have some faith
So lay it all down, you’ll either swim or drown,
its your desiny and fate.
we’re moving to critical mass,
gotta change directions fast,
the hammers coming down., Judgement day will come
cause when the walls come tumbling down,
you build them back up twice as tall.
Before the fall, oh pride comes before the fall
When the road ahead is to much for me
And my demons catch up to me.....

4. Restless Hearts 3:51
You know this town ain’t much for me,
holds me down, wont let me be free.
So I grabbed my girl who’d understand,
Left one night in a carovan.
Gonna role this town twice and go,
So our love runs wild as the prairie winds blow.
From dusk till dawn we’d stare at stars
The road was mine, our love was ours
Aint got no rules, aint got no plans
Going to find our promised land
Gonna role this town twice and go
So our love runs wild as the desert winds blow.
We got Restless Hearts
Well, you and me, we ain’t got much
God knows your mom says we ain’t got nothing
But, baby you and me we don’t give a fuck
So we put fuel in to keep the car running
Cause sometimes all you need is love
We got Restless Hearts

5. Love Lost 4:04
Say your prayers to the stars up there,
that fade into the sun
That this fear that grips us here,
is gone tomorrow come
But if you decide to wait, if you hesitate,
Then the moon and the stars, and the sky tonight,
Will fade into the sun.
Chances come, and came, and lost
Fixed mistakes, and all your talk
Wont bring back the love you lost
The bridges burned, and lines you crossed
Wont bring back the love you lost
Cause its a love lost
That brings you back to the cross roads
building a bridge across
to bring back all of the love you lost
Lovers burned, and double crossed
Paid the price, forgivness costs
Won’t bring back, the love you lost
Angels sing to heavens cross,
Wont bring back the love you lost.
Cause’ it‘s a love lost.....

6. The Sun in the Sky 4:01
well I dont know, about this cold world,
where everyone seems pre-occupied
with nothing worth their soul.
She said, “you gotta rise above the crowd,
and watch the rat race no one wins.”
But, once its set in motion,
you cant stop what it begins.
I am not a born soldier
I lost my youth to get older
All this weight that I’m holding
My get up and go got going
Shackled up with my stories
The glory days are gone. sorry.
I’m hunkered down in my bunker
Drinking less to get drunker,
