Rise 02:41
Rise with the morning wind Rise with the morning sun Rise and see the good times are over, my friend Leave and never come back again Ah and never come back again Rise and realize that this is the end Rise and give me back my life again Rise and leave me alone, my friend Leave and never come back again Ah and never come back again

If I asked you sometime tomorrow Would you run away with me We could go to the mountains if you want I prefer climbing the trees There's a stream down there And soft pine rides in the breeze Life seems so much simpler there So run away with me, please I know a place in the forest Where two paths converge upon a creek And the water there is so clear It can pull pain from the bleak I wanna go down there again The water puts my mind at ease I'd rather be with nobody else So would you run away with me, please? There's a place we can go Where leaves fall in red and gold And I wanna see them again Before I tire of growing old There's a place I call home And I'd love to relive the memories This time with you by my side So would you run away with me, please?

My love, she's going away And I can't know where she's going to stay And my love, it ain't going away My love I know what it's like to be alone, my friend And sometimes when your love leaves It doesn't come to an end And I know that this is hard to swallow But it's better to move on than to wallow That girl, she's leaving today Can't I make her stay just one more day She'll leave me alone Oo with my love Oo Well I know what it's like to be alone, my friend And sometimes when your love leaves It doesn't come to an end And I know that this is hard to swallow But you've got to move on

The Clown 02:52
I am a clown yet I'm wearing a mask I keep my head up but my mind's in the grass I gave up to the pain and I'm slipping up fast I guess I'll write songs til I'm at peace at last I help others' problems cause I can't help my own I don't hate anyone enough to love so I'm alone I keep my eyes closed so you can't see my soul I've broken too many to live so I'll go

There's nothing to do when the emptiness starts So far away from a home that does not exist And once hopeful dreams that are now haunted With visions of a cigarette so often lit As night turns to day through rattling shutters A bit of soul flies away in the darkness at a time So there must come a time when all the little pieces Are enough to reassembled outside A broken soul is never allowed to be alone Ever tempted by the whispers of the ghosts By memories lost, never to be forgotten By a past life with those he loved most Ever tempted by the whispers of the ghosts A jester opens the next of too many doors Never wanting the thing that lays inside For the peak always gives way to another valley So why do anything but hide A thief only takes what he knows has value In the end, it doesn't matter if it's pretty Maybe the thief feels the same way that we do If he does, I feel nothing but pity A broken soul is never allowed to be alone Ever tempted by the whispers of the ghosts By memories lost but never to be forgotten By a past life with those he loved the most Ever tempted by the whispers of the ghosts Feeling the world you know spin out of control But you couldn't hold it still, even if you tried And you say that you hold me if I start to lose But you know that's just a lie Why would you ever think you could feel me How could you ever even know who I am There exists a person in me that you can't see The one you know is a sham A broken soul is never allowed to be alone Ever tempted by the whispers of the ghosts By memories lost, never to be forgotten By a past life with those he loved most Ever tempted by the whispers of the ghosts Sitting inside the holy room where no one ever comes He chuckles emptyingly to himself again A life of disappointment ignored for a record Once listened to with a friend There's nothing to do when the emptiness starts So far away from a home that does not exist Once hopeful dreams are now haunted With visions of a cigarette so often lit A broken soul is never allowed to be alone Ever tempted by the whispers of the ghosts By memories lost, never to be forgotten By a past life with those he loved most Ever tempted by the whispers of the ghosts

You give me an answer but I know it's wrong And it doesn't help the fact that I know it's gone Maybe it's a lot to ask to not be alone But all I ever wanted was a love of my own I'm rolling down a mudslide while my spirit starts to slim Maybe I shoulda slept last night instead of letting the music in I feel my fingers aching just like they did back then And I'm starting to feel just like Taylor I'm starting to feel just like James Taylor When I said my greatest fear was losing you I wasn't lying and I've only ever told you the truth There's times at night when I still get lost in my mind It's not wrong to doubt what's been left behind I'm rolling down the mudslide while my spirit starts to slim I know I shoulda slept last night instead of letting the music in I feel my fingers aching just like they did back then And I'm starting to feel just like Taylor I'm starting to feel just like James Taylor

Untitled 03:31
Raise your head for another day to take your breath away I've never seen the lights behind your face Leaving out tomorrow for another day And watching as you break down in disgrace I've found in time that doves give peace until they fly away But maybe the next one will get me to another day One of these days I hope I won't be scared no more But this kind of song is proof that it's not today Despite what I say, my words cannot save me from myself Helplessly pleading for something that can never come back I am tired of trying cause everyday I lose something that helped me to relax I've found in time that doves give peace until they fly away But maybe the next one will get me to another day One of these days I hope I won't be scared no more But this kind of song is proof that it's not today I've found in time that doves give peace until they fly away But maybe the next one will get me to another day I'm breaking down cause everything's gone But this kind of song is proof that it's not too late If you feel that you love Don't worry, it will pass And don't you worry about I'm just tired, it will pass

Life is a circle that waits for a moment to loop They see you as odd unless you're a part of their group Everyone longs for the day when life gains rhyme or reason Though disappointment grows stronger with each growing season And they say that A soldier is worth nothing if he has come back home A man is worth nothing if he is on his own A giver is worth nothing if he has nothing to receive A priest is worth nothing if he has no thing to believe And they say that there is a light But only if you believe You try to break the cycle but there's nothing else there You can look back on your past all you want but it won't care You can say all you want, it won't give you a place to hide Greener grass doesn't change the darkness that's on the other side And they say that A lover is worth nothing without something to love A child is nothing without his father above A clown is worth nothing if he is not funny A poet is worth nothing if he has no money But they say that there is a light But only if you have money A din of silence broke the never-ending stream of noise The sound of a jungle can only be broken by a lion's voice A roadrunner's only life is on the run Spring can only begin when the blanket of winter is gone And they say that A singer isn't anything but a collection of pains A loner isn't anything but a fool in the rain A doubter isn't anything but a history of lies A sufferer isn't anything except when he dies But they say that there is a light But only when you die But I say that there is a darkness even before you die
