A Boy's Dream

Just a boy and a dream
Waiting for his turn
There's nothing left in this room
That he can learn
All he can do is breakdown
Breakdown these walls
They're keeping me in
They've done their job
Not making me win
But keeping me back
I wanna be the on
To face it all head on
I wanna be the one
Who saves you from this life alone
I wanna be the one
Who plays his songs with his son
I wanna be the one
Who gives it all for his love
I walk these streets and see them playing
Just waiting for my turn
Passing People left and right
But there's no warmth in their eyes
Just a boy and his dream
It's coming to his turn
His strings on his finger tips
Plays his songs for them
Just a boy and his dream
Oh now it's his turn

All Looks Up

It all looks up, when were here together
Yeah it all looks up, It all looks up with your hand on my heart
It all looks up, when were here together
Yeah it all looks up, It all looks up with your hand on my hand
And I know I like the cold but you make me so warm
And that's ok cuz it all looks up
I know what your doing, you know what I'm saying
Like we were meant to be
In the same sea, you right next to me
And nobodies rescuing us
You put up a wall seven stories tall
But I don't even mind a bit
You can't shake me down I'll always be around
I don't change like your eyes
And its the red ink that brings this to life
So it's not left inside
Move your feet, I'll move mine, We'll be step'n in step'n
Here comes the spin, we'll go round and round.
Girl cuz you're running through my mind everyday
Yeah you got me running so speechless
I don't know what else to say
And i'm running out of chords to play

The wind blows in this old town
Like when you were around
The mill closed this past year
No business for old John Brown
Thought I'd try to fight it
There's no way it's leaving me
It drags deep and drags slow
When will the feeling go
Ms. Davis lost her house today
Now she has no place to stay
This happens more and more now
I try to stay and fight it out
Seasons they come and they go
They stay so we don't lose hope
They build us up so tall
So there's no way we can fall
It's coming fast
Are you ready now, Are you ready now
Pack your bags
Come on get out, Come on get out
It's the calm before the storm
Yeah the calm for the storm
I remember those days
We were young and all at ease
You filled me so easily
With love songs and melodies
You broke my heart my girl
Now you're not my girl no more
I guess I'll take this back
This ring I bough just for you

Frisco Bay

We couldn't work this one out
Time was against us from the start
Doesn't mean I stopped thinking of you
Doesn't mean I stopped loving you
I think i'm gonna move back to Texas
I can't go through it again
I think i'm gonna try it out in Frisco Bay
Your just tearing me apart
When there's nothing left to give
There's no way that I can forget
I can't stay here anymore
With life passing by us
Every second feels like a year
You tell me there's too many regrets
So what's to happen next
Doesn't mean I stopped thinking of you
Doesn't mean I stopped loving you

Don't Walk

You put your bricks on your bricks to make your wall
You put your heart underneath, yeah underneath
You cover it with stone with thick stone, thick stone
I hope that she says yes
But maybe she'll say no, Oh she'll say no
I know that it can be hard some times
Doesn't mean that I'm not there, Doesn't mean that I'm not there
And when you close your eyes
Doesn't mean that i'm not there, Doesn't mean that I'm not there
Only time with tell, when it's time to set our sails
We'll see how long, our ropes will last, oh our ropes will last
And when it all goes black
Doesn't mean that I'm not there, Doesn't mean that i'm not there
And when the good times come back
Doesn't mean that i'm not there, Doesn't mean that i'm not there
Don't Walk away, we can make it together
Please, Don't Walk away, we can make it together

Poisons
04:24

There's a man
Who stands in his way, this is what he does
He looks his head down
At the sins that he pays, that he pays
Tucks in his shirt with a bullet in his side
Your poisons inside me
You infect my blood
You break my cross
You keep my chains down
You take my mind
But you can't take my soul
He touches her lips, and it's all just a twisted kiss
Didn't see it coming
Just takes one drip, for it all to come pouring out
And then it sweeps you under your feet
Your poisons inside me
Your poisons inside my veins
I can't bare your control
I'm not letting your take the reigns
You I won't let it go

Trees

We wake up everyday
We all run around the town
Try to loose, what we can't find
Try to loose, what we can't find
We all run around the town
We take the train everyday
The trees all stay in the same place
Nothing seems to ever change
Nothing seems to ever change
The trees all stay in the same place
I hear songs inside my ears
But there's no one around
I look up at the sky
I see there's more to this life
I go to find everyone
I go to find everyone
But no one can explain it to me
We dream of nothing more than this
Our mind is closed off stuck in this mess
You need to choose your side tonight
One's gonna live, and one's gonna die

With Me

What you gotta say about me and my life
Doesn't really matter you're gonna tell me anyway
You don't like what I do you don't like what I say
Doesn't really matter you're gonna tell me anyway
Choices I make the choices you try and take
Doesn't really matter cuz i'm gonna do them anyway
You take control of
Things that will never be in your hands
You try to live your life
By trying to take the steps for me
I want you to be by my side
And help me through the empty days
Is that too much to ask for that you would do that with me
I remember when I was young I tried to do it all myself
But I still needed your help to get it down from the self
I'm a little older now so please don't treat me like a child
But I still need your help so please don't go away
