Switch

(Verse I)

The weight of your stare gets under my skin

Crawls through my veins, it roams within

You know how to make me feel insecure

Drowning in doubt, now I can’t be sure

(Pre-Chorus)

You know how to dig

And turn the knife deep

Through all that we’ve been

The secrets that we keep

(Chorus I)

You have a way of flipping the switch

And all hell’s fury that comes with it

The tension is high, but I'm feeling low

I just can't go on this way, anymore

(Verse II)

So much history between you and I

Wider than the ocean, deeper than the sky

We always told each other us against the world

Now all that remains are ashes from the burn

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus II)

You have a way of flipping the switch

And all hell’s fury that comes with it

You drive me crazy, I just have to let go

Please don't make me feel this way, anymore

(Bridge)

Keep pushing my buttons

Keep pushing me around

Now there's nothing but

Walls crashing down

No more apologies

Forgiveness is gone

But tell me can we

Can we move on

(Chorus II)

(Chorus I)

When Changes Come

(Verse I)
Life can turn on a dime without any warning
Like a day comes and goes from dusk to morning
Let the light guide you, may your thoughts be pure
Know I'm always there when you're unsure


(Pre-Chorus)
When tidal waves crash onto your shore
Just know that together we'll weather the storm


(Chorus)
When changes come, can we overcome
All our decisions, the things we've done
Tonight, it'll be alright
We're told this life it ain't easy
So hold on tight there's no pleasing
Everyone, when changes come
A new chapter of your life, has begun


(Verse II)
There's no book that tells us how to be
Our road is unknown, a hollow mystery
We have to be strong when it's easy to fold
This is just part of how our story goes


(Pre-Chorus)


(Chorus)


(Bridge)
We're all destined to be different
No one's perfect or omniscient
Just ride it out and see what's ahead
Don't look back at what could've been


(Chorus)

The Human Condition

(Verse I)
I worry about us
And what is to become
Of a world that's losing touch
With what we used to love
Everyone's too busy
Just trying to get by
I wish we could go back
Go back to simpler times


(Chorus)
By my own admission, I worry for the human condition
'Cuz we're suffering, struggling
In all our indecision, hope for the human condition
To change, to be saved
It should be our mission, we need global recognition
So we can help the human condition, today


(Verse II)
I haven't heard your voice
In God knows when
Maybe I'll see you around
Hit me up on the internet


(Chorus)


(Bridge)
I remember the good old days
When people talked and children played
They keep saying we're making strides
But something just doesn't feel right


(Chorus)

Follow Me

(Verse I)
I know how it feels to be down and out
I know what it's like to scream when no one's around
When the hurt's too much and you don't feel good enough
I'll be there, I'll be there


(Chorus)
The time is now to make things right
In all of the tears and sleepless nights
I'm here for you, what you're going through
It's time to turn this whole thing around
Together we'll rise above the breakdown
Then you'll believe in all you can be
So take my hand and follow me


(Verse II)
We all need someone to pick us up
Dust us off and make us tough
'Cuz there ain't no map to show us the way
When indecision haunts us all everyday


(Chorus)


(Bridge)
I'll be your strength when you are weak
I'll be your hope when you're in deep
Just know I'm right here by your side
We're in this together, together in stride


(Chorus)

Ghost

(Verse I)

I know you’re watching over me

But sometimes I can’t be sure

In everything the good book tells me

I have trouble believing anymore

(Chorus I)

We were so close to having it all

Now you’re just the ghost in the hall

(Verse II)

I still see your face everywhere I go

In every place, in everyone I know

Do you hear my prayers echo from below

Who do I turn to when everyone’s cold

(Pre-Chorus)
I know you're out there, somewhere
In every step, my breathing air

(Chorus II)

I miss you most in my rise and fall

Now you’re just the ghost in the hall

We were so close to having it all

Now you’re just the ghost in the hall

(Bridge)

Let me take your hand in mine

Promise me you won’t leave, won’t leave me this time

A part of me has died, but God knows I’ve tried

To keep myself together, I guess I’ll see you on the other side

(Verse III)

I can feel your spirit rushing through me in waves

It’s so hard moving on from all the love you gave

I question the reasons why you had to go so soon

Guide me in this life, lead me to the truth

(Chorus II)

I miss you most in my rise and fall

Now you’re just the ghost in the hall

We were so close to having it all

Now you’re just the ghost in the hall

(Repeat Chorus I)

We were so close to having it all

Now you’re just the ghost in the hall…

Precious

(Verse I)

We take for granted waking up everyday

Given another chance, finding another way

Just look to the heavens and thank the stars

For every breath a gift, for being who you are

(Pre-Chorus)

Love yourself in this life

It’s all we get so let’s celebrate

Tonight, tonight…

 

(Chorus)

Time it flies, in the blink of an eye

It’s gone, with every minute, every song

Through all the good times, all the grief

All our memories and the needed relief

These moments we live are infectious

Cherish them they're precious

 

(Verse II)

If I could stop the clock here and now

I’d stay right here and watch the world go ‘round

‘Cuz there’s no place I’d rather be

Than embraced in this graceful tranquility

 

(Pre-Chorus)

 

(Chorus)

 

(Bridge)

Scrapbooks of the times we’ve had

Moments that we can’t get back

Let’s make the most of what’s up ahead

Don’t live in the past, it’s already spent

 

(Chorus)

Always Be Running

(Verse I)

Sometimes we can be

Our own worst enemies

Fault lines in the sand

Scars that never leave

When the time arrives

To start a new life

There’s no time to wait

It ends tonight...

(Pre-Chorus)

So ask yourself

Ask yourself….

(Chorus)

Will I always, always

Always be running

From what I, what I

What I’m becoming

The time ticks by, it falls away

I can’t get back moments it gave

Can I redeem who I used to be

Or will I always be running from me

(Verse II)

It gets so tiring

Wanting to change

We all need inspiring

Someone to save

(Pre-Chorus)

So ask yourself

Ask yourself….

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

I can’t go any farther

I’m out of breath

Can’t go on any longer

There’s nothing left

When the tank is empty

I’ll be by your side

Know you’re not the only

One running tonight

(Chorus)

My Disease

(Verse I)

The tension, deception

In all your intentions

For me, run deep
In secrets we keep
Desire, this fire

I'm walking this wire

Now afraid, betrayed

By promises we made
 

(Pre-Chorus)

To you, to me

Can we stop, to breathe

 

(Chorus)

Now I’m at ease

One with my disease

Nowhere to run and hide

It'll always be a part of me

So many years I denied

These feelings building inside

They'll never cease, I can't release

My love for you, my disease

 

(Verse II)

This cancer, no answer

She knows it, just ask her

It's growing, showing

Like blood, it’s flowing

No stopping, no end

Now I can’t pretend

I’m fine, this time

In body and mind
 

(Pre-Chorus)

I feel, so I can heal

Every time you, reappear
 

(Chorus)

 

(Bridge)

You are my affliction

That I can’t ignore

You’re tidal waves crashing

During the storm

You are my crutch

When life’s too much

You’re all I know

My anecdote

(Chorus)

Little Things

(Verse I)

Redemption is a hard road
When traveling it alone
When problems seem to surface
And answers are unknown
It took me awhile to find
Peace in a world of hate
All I needed was some time
All I needed was some faith

(Pre-Chorus)

Just keep a pure soul
‘Cuz you never know
What’s around the corner
How your story will go

(Chorus I)

It’s in the little things, the colors of Spring
The sounds of the birds as they sing
Giving us hope, when it’s too hard to cope
I remember to cling, to all the little things

(Verse II)

We all need to fall down
To get up even higher
Now I’m soaring somehow
I’ve made it out of the fire

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus II)

It’s in the little things, a kite on a string
Flying without a care for anything
Free in the wind, free from our sins
The gifts that it brings, all the little things

(Bridge)

You have to walk through the darkness
To get to the light
That shines upon us all
You have to get up and fight

(Chorus II)

(Chorus I)
