Anomaly Road 02:12
And I gotta know, where did the warmth in the light go? We never chose, Anomaly Road, we stare at the sun with our eyes closed, this isn’t what we chose, don’t lie, you just took her and turned me to stone, don’t cry, this is bigger than your little white lie, it all looks so different in the night time, And I gotta know, why you took her and left me alone, we never chose, Anomaly Road, where we stare at the stars with our eyes closed, this isn’t what we chose, don’t lie, you just took her and turned me to stone, don’t cry, this is bigger than your little white lie, it all looks so different in the night time, Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry, cause this is bigger than your little white lie, it all looks so different in the night time, it all looks so different in the night time.

Rising Tide 08:52
Two nights ago, I dreamt that you came home, it felt so real, to hold you still, it’s all I know but when I woke you just let go, but when I woke you just let go, Two weeks in a row, the tears and hope they come and go, nobody knows what’s killing you slow, of course they don’t, I asked daddy to go, I wanna see you alone, but he won’t, There was never a bright side, it was never the right time, couldn’t sever the right ties, we were caught in the rising tide, I was there by your right side, I was better when you were alive, it was never the right time, you were caught in the rising tide, You took some part of me, I already know I’ll never be the same, you bought this guitar for me, now I’ll never be home so I write down my soul I’m forever your own, Two months ago, you and I were alone, we were mother and son, until the whole thing came undone, she knows she broke my heart and strained my soul, she broke my heart and strained my soul, Who knew you’d leave so soon? I wanna know, who made these plans for you, well maybe I don’t, I’ll just ask him myself when I walk down that road, There was never a bright side, it was never the right time, couldn’t sever the right ties, we were caught in the rising tide, someone covered the sunlight, in forever the night time, so we could stare at the full moon, and its effects on the rising tide, I was having a tough time, she was having a rough night, we were losing a life line, I could see when I looked in her eyes, they were touching her insides, something was not right, I didn’t wanna believe you, I knew my mother was losing the fight, … I wanna know, Two nights ago, I dreamt that you came home, it felt so real, to hold you still it’s all I know but when I woke you just let go, but when I woke you just let go, You were living a good life, only fighting the good fight, and my memory’s stretched so thin, I’m forgetting the rest of my lines, as I try to explain to her grandkids, she’ll be going away for a while, there was never a bright side, it was never the right time, just some tears on a notebook, from the son she was leaving behind, We were watching the sunrise, I was holding her hand so tight, when I told you I loved you, must’ve said it a thousand times, there was never a bright side, it was never the right time, couldn’t sever the right ties, you were caught in the rising tide, I was there by your right side, fell asleep at your bedside, dad wouldn’t go home, they could tell you were husband and wife, I was having a tough time, she was having a rough night, we were losing a life line, I could see when I looked in her eyes, they were touching her insides, something was not right, I didn’t wanna believe you, my poor mother was losing the fight, You were having a nightmare, and maybe the same one as mine, I forgot how to swim in the ocean, so I drowned in the rising tides, There was never a bright side, it was never the right time, couldn’t sever the right ties and I’ll carry that with me the rest of my life, There was never a bright side, it was never the right time, couldn’t sever the right ties, you were caught in the rising tide, we were caught in the rising tide.

Never pray for angels to save me, lately, I think I’m out of my mind, I wait for demons to make me, maybe I can break these ties, My favorite lady gave me a double dose, cliché, I’m approaching cloud nine, that place that can get you in trouble though, is the same one that’s clouding your mind, Cat in the ally, he’s been to the valley and knows well the viper inside, when soldiers and arrows are aiming their barrels at me, who cares if one steps out of line? But it doesn’t make it alright, doesn’t make it alright, We never made it to Cali, through rivers and valleys and mountains with desserts of sand, with soldiers and arrows and judges and gavels to hold like the moon in their hands, moon in their hands, Moon in their hands.

Old Yellow 02:12
Old yellow, code blue, I’m mellow, melting inside you, when I, talk to the sky, I’m talking to or about you, And when we’re nowhere near, lying would just make it worse, everything here reminds me of her, swallowed my tears and she guided me back to Earth, Young fellow, old news, I’m mellow, melting beside you, when I, look to the sky, I think I’m trying to find you, And when we’re nowhere near, crying would just make it worse, everything here reminds me of her, we’re all dying to know where you’ve gone to and when you’ll return.

So when you go I’ll follow you, I’ve seen the ocean in your eyes, the great white plains and the Sacramento sky, I’d give it all to see you one more time, if there’s no good reason for a heart ache, then why’s it happen all the time? We all must live with heart break, cause only God controls the rising tide, Ohhhh, my love, you’ve gone, away, moving on, in mind and space, Well what if I can’t follow you? I still can’t locate where you are, and when that comes I just don’t know where to start, like you’re somewhere in the corner of my heart, Ohhhh, my love, you’ve gone, away, moving on, in mind and space, We rely, in the shadows, I never doubt my lines, the soldier died, before the battle, while he was staring at the Sacramento sky, I’m alive, but can’t escape my mind, so many lines, to memorize, All in time, and my memory fades, losing my stride now I’m sprinting in place, So when you go I’ll follow you, I’ve seen the ocean in your eyes, the great white plains and the Sacramento sky, I’d give it all to see you one more time, if there’s no good reason for a heart ache, then why’s it happen all the time? We all must live with heart break, cause only god controls the rising tide, I’d give it all to see you one more time.

Holiday 03:57
I’ve got nowhere to rely, on sober piece of mind, my paranoia will survive, through the long November night, remember clouds that ruin sky? Can’t see me through the wounded eye, detach from all you know is right, journey down south and blur the lines, Far away, from here, I’m on holiday, my love, my dear it’s time to operate, through the hole within my ear, just to hide away inside my favorite place to fear, No other words could be heard, cause a slow song plays in my head, it’s just the laughter of the puppet master, he’s come back for the rest, he knows I’ve heard the whispers, and he’s come to put me back in the chest, and it’s a disaster in there, I’m kept by my master in there, Ohhhh I go down Anomaly Road, it’s covered in bones and snow, nobody knows where it goes, I’ve already met those, who want to feed me to the ravens and crows, feelings exposed, and they’re harder than stone, Far away, from here, I’m on holiday, my love, my dear, it’s time to drive away, those doubts we feel so clear, up to promenade, down that path we love to fear, I lie in the cold, while you’re trapped by it as you’re dying at home I see no, escape at all from death, the snake oil has divided us all, I wept, like a child on the side of the road, your last words hidden under my breath, in my head, played a powerful song, it wasn’t laughter anymore, and we weren’t out there anymore the battle was one abut lost was the war, I’m coming home for, No other words could be heard, cause a slow song played in my head, it’s just the laughter of the puppet master, he’s come back, from the dead, he knows I’ve heard the whispers, and he’s come to put me back in the chest, and it’s a disaster in there, I’m kept by my master in there.

The Note 07:58
Give me a chance to change, give me a chance to make my way, finding a chance to take, hopin’ it goes my way, I can show you, lots of how to, feel yourself at odds, no one warned you, of the tattoo, infinite, oh, regrets, It’s a, long way, from here to my place, change, comes without warning, feels like the morning, wake, sometimes it feels fake, In the night time, when the sun don’t shine, I walk with my shadow, in the night time, in the night time, when the sun don’t shine, except through the moon, except through the moon, Stars shine, it’s a candle lit suicide, so move on the moon, you space man, move on the moon, just move on the moon, like space men, move on the moon, Lost in the stars at night, I’m lost in you, I walk with my shadow, in the night time, when the sun don’t shine, I walk with my shadow, where the stars burn bright, They look just like candles, candles to you, candles, to a suicide, And I don’t even wanna speak to you, and I don’t even wanna look at you, I know things, that I don’t wanna repeat to you, it brings no relief to you, In the night time, when the sun don’t shine, I walk with my shadow, in the night time, in the night time, when the sun don’t shine, except through the moon, except through the moon, so move on the moon, you space man, move on the moon, Just move on the moon, like space men, move on the moon.

Sober Eye 03:20
All my, little sober I, the story wasn't told right, wasn't told right, Sober I, couldn't show my, wooden soul, rot, on the inside, Where've you been God? Where've you been sky? Look up to pray but my neck hurts, I think my spine is outta line, Reach for another pen for another line, just another truth in another lie, When the wind blows, when the timber goes it exposes all that grows down below and shows, there's more to life, Ohhh, I'm told there's more to life, and at night, I'm exposed, to the cold, it scorns my mind.
