Shrubbery 04:41
Hot knife on the cutting room floor Cut right through just like before Raise the curtain darlin’ gi’me more It’s ‘bout time we settle the score You’re crazy; that’s the plain and simple truth Your tactics and your tricks are just uncouth You’ve taken it as far as it need go But as it seems you just don’t know When it’s time to let it go I say God have mercy on your soul You act just like a child I sit and watch, but cannot change the dial I look around and all I see Is your mind numbing strategy Your fear, doubt, insecurity ain’t no match for true artistry We’re coming and there’s nothing you can do I’ve seen the future Mr. red, white, and blue It’ll get much darker before the night is through But as it dawns we’ll push on through Then I suggest you run for shelter You won’t like the hand that life has dealt ya You’ll get back what you put out Fear, doubt, don’t look now the sun is on the rise Give it up your time has come You’re no longer number one I suggest you take it as it comes Or to hell with it jus go n’ run

Your attention’s escaped now You’re afraid to just wait now So you kneel and prey down under the sun Seems the script has been flipped out And your true nature kicked out Searching a new way out under the sun...you bore me And away it goes Hard to say if you’ll ever know And away it goes Hard to say if you’ll ever know The wirings of your mind All your writhing and screaming Due to lying and scheming Is a sort of redeeming Coming from inside outside And away it goes Hard to say if you’ll ever know And away it goes Hard to say if you’ll ever know The wirings of your mind So fully live or die Realize this waking dream on which you rely Every thing will come and go The tide will ebb and flow All the way down under the sun

Let It Show 03:24
Everybody needs some lovin’ in their life. Ain’t it right? There’s no exception to the rule. Everybody seems to know, but that just ain’t enough...Let it show. There’s no reason to be shy, love’s beautiful. Why live a lie? How long can you hold it in? I ain’t one for rushin’ things, so take it nice and slow...Just let it show. And if you don’t think that it’s important to let it show. And you don’t think that you reap just what you sow, Give it some time and I’m sure that you will find... What I see in you is divine, often hard to find, but bottom line, it’s time you broke out of that shell. You know I think you’re beautiful; it’s plain for all to see. ‘Cause I let it show. What happened to the days where I could wake up in the morning with my lover by my side, bed and sheets all worn in. I remember how sweet it was, like there was nowhere else to be; we slept in a little later intentionally. Fingers intertwined toes start to wiggle, I Tickle down her spine as she starts to nibble just to let it show. And if you don’t think that it’s important to let it show. And you don’t think that you reap just what you sow, Give it some time and I’m sure that you will find...

Coming Home 03:27
Left you at the station Hard to say goodbye Hardest thing about you Is not having you by my side I pray to see your face tomorrow Every day that I rise And realize I’m without you Without you by my side It’s been about a week not Gets Harder every day How could I let this happen I guess it’s hard to say I pray to see your face tomorrow Every day that I rise And realize I’m without you Without you by my side Oh just like the wind You’re coming home again I can feel you on my skin You’re coming home again Oh just like the wind You’re coming home again I can feel you on my skin You’re coming home again

Higher Love 04:09
Stinking bile and thick chains The rich tiles and dark veins In denial from mind games The white lies with red stains Straight and true stay the course Crooked smile no remorse The deep seated bruit force Eulogy a dead horse All I’m asking for is... Oh, that higher love watch it descend heaven sent an offering of higher love watch it descend heaven sent an offering of Left to die neglected To the bone infected Sympathy rejected No longer connected Lacking concentration Always on vacation Lacking motivation Undertow the nation All I’m asking for is... Oh, that higher love watch it descend heaven sent an offering of higher love watch it descend heaven sent... ...that higher love watch it descend heaven sent an offering of higher love watch it descend heaven sent...

She comes to me in visions, in visions at night Like an angel draped in white Do my eye’s deceive me or is she heaven sent Not an ounce of effort seems to have been spent Oh and with the flick of her wrist She traces the outline of my lips How can it be that she knows me so well Could it be that light that burns inside It’s hard to tell She comes to me in daylight without a word Communicates through fire yet every word is heard Eyes that search into the depths of my soul Her age eludes me she seems both young and old Oh and with the flick of her wrist She traces the outline of my lips How can it be that she knows me so well Could it be that light that burns inside It’s hard to tell Will you wake me when you come around I’ve grown weary of this little town Throughout the years will you stick around Always looking never have I found Sometimes I can’t see her so I call out her name Into the darkness where it all looks the same Waiting for the slightest, the slightest of sounds Some sort of reply, something to be found Oh and with the flick of her wrist She traces the outline of my lips How can it be that she knows me so well Could it be that light that burns inside It’s hard to tell Will you wake me when you come around I’ve grown weary of this little town Throughout the years will you stick around Always looking never have I found A love quite like yours One that throughout the years will endure Any hardships that might come our way I will love you for the rest of your days
