South Nation River 04:00
lyrics
buy track
When all of this is over Bury me by the nation river Allow me to go home And be reclaimed by nature The water is always cold It's always muddy and never clear I spent my early years fishing it In my memories, it’s always there When all of this is over Bury me by the nation river Allow me to go home And be reclaimed by nature It supports so much life It's known for Landslides and flooding But what a lovely place to rest When back to the earth I’ll be heading When all of this is over Bury me by the nation river Allow me to go home And be reclaimed by nature

Windcatcher 03:38
lyrics
buy track
These old roads don't feel the same We've been together through snow, ice and rain If we were any closer they'd know me by name But now we share the deepest pain Blow away, Blow away, let me catch the wind Blow away, Blow away, let me catch the wind Adorned with flowers, the posts there stand I sat and ran that gravel through my hands You've heard before the clothes don't make the man In his case I think you'd understand Blow away, Blow away, let me catch the wind Blow away, Blow away, let me catch the wind

Words Are Hard (These Days) 03:06
lyrics
buy track
Take me away from this place I'm suffocated by life's graces I feel lost, but hope to find a reason to smile I can’t wait for the sunrise Frustrations tear up my eyes And you feel like it’s all your fault, babe it’s not Words are hard these days I’ve had this headache for weeks now The city is screaming so loud I’m restless, so I'm picking fights for nothing Sleepless nights are routine My worst thoughts play on repeat I fight it, but the battles been lost for a while Words are hard these days Nostalgia's a cancer, my thoughts are corrupt Words are stuck in my throat, I don't want give up I can't see my options , so I'll just keep moving Am I running away or am I being chased? Words are hard these days Words are hard these days Words are hard these days

Gravel Roads 04:19
lyrics
buy track
My body is changing with the season again I find no comfort in the place where I live The people here are angry and cold I want to go back to a place that i know Where the house smells of smoked and the walls are all stained Though years have gone by, it all looks the same The yards still a mess with piles of scrap steel The woodshed is full awaiting the cold Give me a roof, four walls and a bed A warm dry place where I'll lay my head Just enough space to feel human again and I will be just fine Not a sound but the birds, the wind and the leaves Down old gravel roads and endless fields There's plenty of space here to learn how to grow This will always be the place that I'll call my home Give me a roof, four walls and a bed A warm dry place where I'll lay my head Just enough space to feel human again and I will be just fine

In The Dark 03:17
lyrics
buy track
We were chaos, we were peace We were young, reckless and free Though we were shackled to our pasts Trying to break free of the things that held us back I often think about where you must be I hope you followed your dreams And I miss all the words that we shared in the dark If we were scared, we didn't let it show We'd put on a hard face, push it down and let go But when you told me, that you'd be leaving I should have been better at telling you how I was feeling I often think about where you must be I hope you followed your dreams And I miss all the words that we shared in the dark I truly miss all things that we shared in our hearts

Bourget 03:57
lyrics

They'd pack us up into the truck We'd take all the side roads, I'd hope to not get stuck Every other weekend we did this drive, I had all the twists and turns and roads memorized My aunts and Uncle, My cousins were there, We'd hop on our bike and play without a care We'd run down to the bridge and throw rocks in the creek, We had to stay outside till supper was ready We'd sit at the table, pass the butter and bread Let me tell you weren't able to leave until your plate was bare. Country music was playing on the radio, little did I know That I'd grow up to be so thankful and that it carved my life in stone, You carved my life in stone. As the years passed on, things would change, Every other weekend became monthly or estranged To fuel cliché, life got in the way, I was busy playing music or working everyday I'd swing in for a visit now and then, We'd pick up where we left off, Hear all the same stories again In the silence between words shared, rang out a sound so cherished and unimpaired So we'd sit there at the table, having cookies and Tea Right there in that moment it meant everything to me Country music was playing on the radio, little did I know That I'd grow up to be so thankful and that it carved my life in stone, You carved my life in stone.

Not Quite What I Expected (Reprise) 03:04
lyrics
buy track
I hope you find yourself well I know you've been living in your own personal Hell Many demons in you reside It was just a matter of time until it ruined you and I Substance abuse took your place As the only simple thing that could carry me away And now I find myself unsound, unsettled and trying to pick my feet back off the ground Now that some time has passed Self-reflection brought elation and I feel free at last Bringing balance back to life I guess I needed to be broken to have my eyes opened wide And then the substance abuse was kicked away and every day I wear a smile on my face I feel I can clearly see and breath I guess sometimes in life, a heartbreaks all you need.

Heavy Days 03:47
lyrics
buy track
I've lost my voice, singing is too hard these days It's not my choice that I feel lost in familiar places I catch myself staring off into nothing As the rain cuts my face So I quit drinking, to clear my head and hunt my demons I've been working long and hard enough to keep my mind from talking Your voice rings out in every chorus Your ghost haunts every word My beliefs have been challenged and questioned I'm overwhelmed at the slightest reminder of you A song could never properly put into words How I truly feel Though you're not here, trust you'll never be gone I carry you with me, through us your memory lives on You've always meant the world to me So I tried to write you this song
