Coffee

She makes me coffee in the morning
I only have her for a moment
‘Cause I’m always up too late
She’s gone before I wake
On our horizon
First warmth of sunrise
Infatuated
I never thought twice
She chose a different start
Slowly showing heart
Every single day
She makes me coffee in the morning
I only have her for a moment
‘Cause I’m always up too late
She’s gone before I wake
Now that we’re steady
Life’s in a different phase
We get so busy
Mix up priorities
Somehow I’m still surprised
With every sunrise
I’m first on her mind
She makes me coffee in the morning
I only have her for a moment
‘Cause I’m always up too late
She’s gone before I wake
I don’t need a major display
It all adds up to me
She makes me coffee in the morning

Blue Ridge Mountains

Lie down with me, my dear
Lie down
Under stormy night
Tell nobody
My brother, where do you intend to go tonight?
I heard that you missed your connecting flight
To the blue ridge mountains, over near Tennessee
You're ever welcome with me any time you like
Let's drive to the country side
Leave behind some green eyed look a likes
So no one gets worried, no
So no one gets worried, no
But Sean don't get careless
I'm sure it'll be fine
I love you, I love you
Oh brother of mine
In the quivering forest
Where the shivering dog rests
Our good grandfather
Built a wooden nest
And the river got frozen
And the home got snowed in
And a yellow moon glowed bright
'Til the morning light
Terrible am I, child
Even if you don't mind
In the quivering forest
Where the shivering dog rests
Our good grandfather
Built a wooden nest
And the river got frozen
And the home got snowed in
And a yellow moon glowed bright
'Til the morning light
Terrible am I, child
Even if you don't mind
Noo

Lightheart

Well my spirit’s a mess
Throbbin, fightin’ to death
Right up until you’re in my breath
Like a strong sedative medicine
Put me to rest
I know I can’t control spiraling down
But you pull me out the water right before I drown
Now I’m so full of love
I don’t need anymore
Right up until you’re out the door
You’re currency/tender to my soul
I know I can’t control spiraling down
But you pull me out the water right before I drown
Before I fall back to where I started
Lift me up like you do so lighthearted
I know I can’t control spiraling down
But you pull me out the water right before I drown

Elevation

Can’t find any tracks or a beaten path
Our breath is all but gone, but we’re hanging on
I don’t care how far we’ve come
I don’t feel the sun
The smoke is exhaled
But I don’t feel any higher
I’ve come to know it’s hard to find
A grip on the correct direction
Gotta see, need to believe,
We’re headed straight for elevation
Ropes got us in knots testin what we got
We’ll cut any ties; no compromise
Our clothes are lookin like rags and our eyes are bagged
The vultures circle above but we’re just getting started
I’ve come to know it’s hard to find
A grip on the correct direction
Gotta see, need to believe,
We’re headed straight for elevation
Higher ground lead my way
Up above yesterday
Shadows cast until it’s done
Broken clouds expose the sun
I’ve come to know it’s hard to find
A grip on the correct direction
Gotta see, need to believe,
We’re headed straight for elevation
Can’t find any tracks or a beaten path
Our breath is all but gone, but we’re hanging on
I don’t care how far we’ve come
I don’t feel the sun
The smoke is exhaled
But I don’t feel any higher
I’ve come to know it’s hard to find
A grip on the correct direction
Gotta see, need to believe,
We’re headed straight for elevation
Ropes got us in knots testin what we got
We’ll cut any ties; no compromise
Our clothes are lookin like rags and our eyes are bagged
The vultures circle above but we’re just getting started
I’ve come to know it’s hard to find
A grip on the correct direction
Gotta see, need to believe,
We’re headed straight for elevation
Higher ground lead my way
Up above yesterday
Shadows cast until it’s done
Broken clouds expose the sun
I’ve come to know it’s hard to find
A grip on the correct direction
Gotta see, need to believe,
We’re headed straight for elevation

You think you’re somethin'
Thinkin’ I’m wastin’ all my days
Such a shame
You will cooperate
And feel them operate
Every move
I have lost control
Grinning through this rabbit hole
You can’t help yourself—Always such a deadpan
I don’t need control
I like it when I unleash
This night is too cold
Let’s make it third degree
I believe that some day, ya
I believe that some day
I’ll come down
All the way down
You keep waiting’. . . on permission
It’s not too late to take my bait
I have lost control
Grinning through this rabbit hole
You can’t help yourself—Always such a deadpan
I don’t need control
I like it when I unleash
This night is too cold
Let’s make it third degree
Whatever excuse you need
Just keep them rattlin'
Ya I know you need the sleep
But the night just ain’t done
I didn’t come alone
And these demons ain’t cheap
Why do you keep telling me
I have lost control
Grinning through this rabbit hole
You can’t help yourself—Always such a deadpan
I don’t need control
I like it when I unleash
This night is too cold
Let’s make it third degree

Where did all the silence of fresh snow find a place to call home?
Ricocheting off walls of stone
Fragments of the city are not so easily waved away
Can’t even get a break on Saturday
Frustrated and bloodshot, bloodshot
Looking through starlit eyes
Moments are magnified
Thoughts won’t stop trespassin’
Don’t have to let them in
Under the open sky you can just pause your life
Looking through starlit eyes
Don’t you get so tired of wearing black?
Threw out the color in your laundry stack
Just to pay off your sterile shack
Can’t turn back, no
Caught up in creations manufactured to consume you
Illuminated face in a dark room
Dilated and bloodshot, bloodshot
Looking through starlit eyes
Moments are magnified
Thoughts won’t stop trespassin’
Don’t have to let them in
Under the open sky you can just pause your life
Looking through starlit eyes

Breathe, air flows in
Satisfied do you fathom why you live the life you live?
Trees, billowing
Rooted undertones speaking what they know as if in unison
Take a look around
Take a look around
Cease, pondering
Look up to the stars knowing what you are and found out what you missed
Bliss, is it this?
Leaping from the moon bounding towards the sun
Look from where you’ve come
Take a look around
Take a look around
Careful what you choose to
Despite of what they’ve told you
Have they shown you how to live?
