Idols 03:20
lyrics

I don’t believe in idols anymore I’m old enough to have seen their altars crumble I don’t see it the way I did back then I’d be ashamed But I was caught up in revival They called upon the wrath of god To settle a damn petty dispute Now I don’t believe they’d ever get their way But if they did, I don’t think god had anything to do with it I don’t know what happens after this nor do they, but they will sell you on a floor plan Follow the exit signs it’s all so very clear Even as the smoke and fire, they heat up all around you They called upon the wrath of god To settle a damn petty dispute But I don’t believe they’d ever get their way But if they did, I don’t think god had anything to do with it Seems like every one we ever looked up to Sooner or later had us lookin’ down We learned long ago to not make idols out of gold But we’re still learning’ not to make them out of men And I don’t carry a cross anymore Someone else said they lifted that burden It’s funny how I say that in the end love will truly win And how they say I will truly burn for it They called upon the wrath of god To settle a damn petty dispute I don’t believe they’d ever get their way But if they did, I don’t think god had anything to do with it It’s hard to believe they’d ever get their But if they did, I sure hope god had nothin’ to do with it

Danny 03:36

Danny you won’t seem to let it go How long will you wait like a snake Yeah, in the road Your tongue speaks of all the needs that we have But your bite makes us all take a step back I feel, I feel It’s gonna be another long year Cuz you’re breaking your promise It’s not going unnoticed I fear, I fear Even though you may shed no tears You’re still waiting to be delivered We’re all waiting to be delivered And Danny, yeah, we still all got your back But you won’t seem to let us make catch Sure, you can be the judge A wiser man there never was Never was I fear, I fear It’s gonna be another long year Cuz you’re breaking your promise It’s not going unnoticed I fear, I fear, Even though you may shed no tears You’re still waiting to be delivered We’re all waiting to be delivered I fear, I fear It’s gonna be another long year Cuz you’re breaking your promise It’s not going unnoticed

Calling Me 03:32
lyrics
buy track
What I wouldn’t give To live out my dreams And stop this itching for what I’m not I should be so satisfied I have a good life Don’t wanna waste a minute But my daydreams are calling me What I wouldn’t do To get back to you Gone over it in my head a thousand times I swore I’d get it off my chest But it fits just like vest that stops bullets But my bad blood is leaving me What would it take To embrace my mistakes Look myself in the face every morning I know life can be short But it bends and contorts in so many ways But my whole life is calling me My whole life is calling me What I wouldn’t give To live out my dreams And stop this itching for what I’m not I should be so satisfied I have a good life Don’t wanna waste a minute

Kansas On 03:39
lyrics
buy track
Kansas I remember when you held me all those years All those things you taught me left me stronger than my fears Michigan, I miss you most Now that you’re so far away Remember all the cold I felt In the warmest way Thank you all for getting me there Thank you all for letting me in Thank you all for being my friends Thank you all, goodnight California you’re a rush A dreamer’s lust for gold So many want to speak about you There’s little left untold Oklahoma you have me here now But it’s a fragile thing The roots that I’ve been growing Man, they only grow so deep Thank you all for getting me there Thank you all for letting me in Thank you all for being my friends Thank you all, goodnight Chicago you were tougher But I was quick to judge A few drinks later And I think that we are friends New York I miss you most Now that you’re so far away Remember when you held me close Then I watched you glow, then fade Thank you all for getting me there Thank you all for letting me in Thank you all for being my friends Thank you all, goodnight

Letters 03:05
lyrics

Letters The words I never say out loud Are standing round And they’re loud I guess it doesn’t matter My heart Is a heavy burden With staircase Mother, will I trip over the clutter I guess I can’t win So I write them down Like a loaded gun Spin the chamber And point it out So I write them down Like a loaded gun Spin the chamber And point it in… My demons Used to be close friends I lost touch with them I guess it doesn’t matter I say I’m deep in the trenches With the war still breathing down my neck Can’t count on any of em So I write them down Like a loaded gun Spin the chamber And point it out So I write them down Like a loaded gun Spin the chamber And point it in… So I write them down Like a loaded gun Spin the chamber And point it out So I write them down Like a loaded gun Spin the chamber And point it in… Can’t count on any of them

Oklahoma Wind 04:08
lyrics
buy track
This place it tears you down You never call it home But each time we go out Is the place that we return And oh it feels like the Oklahoma wind Where the warm south breeze meets its northern bitter end And they fight over the plains A beautiful mundane place This place it breaks you down It’s something like a noise you can’t shut out But we can hunker down Take shelter from the storms that come around And oh it feels like the Oklahoma wind Where the warm south breeze meets its northern bitter end And they fight over the plains A beautiful mundane place This place It breaks you down This place It breaks you down
