House of Straw 03:24
lyrics

I still lose myself in thoughts Of the throne that lovers made Thoughts we'd stay atop our world Mocking those without a crown Such reckless fools at home Sitting in our house of straw Ignoring wailing winds That are knocking, knocking at our door Oh my Earnestly I beseech but to no avail On my knees like a rambling fool My root's too deep And I swore I'd stay You quiver, you bend, you flee the fight Forsaken and tossed by the gale I bellow and seek out your hand You turn a deaf ear You share a blind eye How could you tuck tail and run? Oh m

Go With the Flow 03:52

She said "I'll throw myself away, They're just photos after all" I can't make you hang around. I can't wash you off my skin. Outside the frame, is what we're leaving out You won't remember anyway I can go with the flow But don't say it doesn't matter anymore I can go with the flow Do you believe it in your head? It's so safe to play along Little soldiers in a row Falling in and out of love With something sweet to throw away. But I want something good to die for To make it beautiful to live. I want a new mistake, lose is more than hesitate. Do you believe it in your head? I can go with the flow But don't say it doesn't matter anymore I can go with the flow Do you believe it in your head?

Only Water 03:24
lyrics

My love, lay down your arms and be still You are but just a piece of this whole See this, this is only water... That rises above the sound And we are all just brothers Lost at sea (See) those weary hands paint the sky Don't stare, lend them your ears if they sing See this, this is only water... That rises above the sound And we are all just brothers Lost at sea If you hear their fury, hold your tongue Don't let it grow If you see their sadness through and through You might find your own 'Cause this, this is water... That rises above the sound And we are all just brothers Lost at sea

Georgia On My Mind 02:53

Georgia, Georgia The whole day through Just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind) I said Georgia Georgia A song of you Comes as sweet and clear As moonlight through the pines Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you I said Georgia Ooh Georgia, no peace I find Just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind) Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you Whoa, Georgia Georgia No peace, no peace I find Just this old, sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind I said just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind

Wheel and the Stone 03:55
lyrics
buy track
I don't want your poison I don't want your siege Bear in mind a fire burns inside of me We are beasts of burden, wretches with our loads Sing your twisted chorus If it soothes your soul Vultures stand around us Begging for their feast Bones are bare for judgment Dare to pick them clean Oh, I've fought and I've been broken Hands tied with salted wounds Feet held to the fire All in spite of you The rage and the fight Makes me a taller man The storm that they raise surrounds me while you cry "You will not bend today!" Feet like roots beneath me So twisted, wild, unyielding Hands like rocks that bind me The wheel and the stone The rage and the fight Makes me a taller man The storm that they raise surrounds me while you cry "You will not bend today!" Burn away, defy the night! The rage and the fight Makes me a taller man The storm that they raise surrounds me while you cry "You will not bend today!"

Wide Eyes 03:38
lyrics
buy track
Oh my baby, may I call you "home" That simple, safe place Where I long to be? Oh, my darling may I follow you through night's satin veil And into morning's birth to light? You see, I've found my place I was stolen for your side I can see that no trial can deny this wide eyed reverie I won't walk alone Now and forevermore I can feel the sweet settling Oh so deep within Child, can you feel it too? I've been asleep for so very long But now I awake To you warming song You see, I've found my place I was stolen for your side I can see that no trial can deny this wide eyed reverie I won't walk alone Now and forevermore I can feel the sweet settling Oh so deep within Child, can you feel it too?
