Old Promises, Renewed (free) 02:05
lyrics
download
I've been wrong I've been down A disappointment And ashamed Now you see me For who I am Broken down son Of a dying man I've been working To turn around Got to believe me I'm trying hard Trust I haven't given up Don't you let me down too Don't leave me I'm almost home You had the faith in me But I turned my back I made you doubt Trust now I'm giving all I have And to my family You've never let me down You built this iron heart And I'm forever grateful I wont run away this time

Breaking Down (free) 01:23
lyrics
download
These walls that I build in my life They stand so tall Now they're crashing down From all the pain An the shame That I feel in my life and now it's All over I'm giving it all away now Somebody pull me out Cuz I'm breaking down I'm giving up it all I'm letting go Because all I reaped Was nothing I sewed I sewed faith and love But got hate and fear Because all I reaped was nothing I sewed

Father Not Your Title (free) 02:28
lyrics
download
These ashes will build up inside My cup is overflowing And I cannot seem to make it anything But a tragedy So as it breaks Like this ice I'm on I will scream resolutions To things left unsaid You haunt my dreams You're tearing apart my life Your selfishness could not be satisfied Be one thousand souls Your abuse you put us through Is forgiven but never forgotten We are stronger now No longer scared by threats So take your best shot You may knock me down But I promise you this That I'll rise back up I'll rise It's never over with you So I can't I can't be It's never over with you So I won't I won't be weak

Keep Your Head Down (free) 02:55
lyrics
download
Never thought I'd see the day Where I would bow my head and pray god bless America But smash those in our wake These people don't understand Broken homes and broken lands And my brother's being sent to war Keep your head down And they say for a holy land it sure Is hot like hell And I'll raise the middle finger For I am the infidel For the next six months You'll call this place your home All those pretty sights All that sand and stone You're a father You're a brother You're a friend You're a son And I'm at home waiting for one call Time rolls on we won't forget that you're there Though many people have forgotten already Our family waits to hold you in their arms We don't need them to pin pride on your chest Just make it home so you can find your peace and rest My heart is torn apart to know you're not home (please make it home)

Falling On Deaf Ears (free) 03:41
lyrics
download
I'm falling on deaf ears You're worth every smile I'll pay for it in my pain Wish I didn't have to try And this fight still remains You wear your smile (you're beautiful) Like a fathers closed door Never to return again And yet I promise you (you're beautiful) I could scream it to the sky Or whisper in your ear But you're still so afraid To consider yourself As something worth more I promise you You're worth so much more to me I'm falling on deaf ears Like thunder heard miles around I'm falling on deaf ears It's tragic and empty I'm falling on deaf ears Like thunder heard miles around I'm falling on deaf ears This tragic empty sound There are too many people Depending on us And vultures have been waiting a long time To watch us fall and not get up Don't shove me out this time I swear I just want to build you up I promise I'll stay with you And we'll change the world Together now I'll cut out every part that's good in me Just to show that it was always you And you don't have to go it alone Falling on deaf ears (repeat)

Grace (free) 02:14
lyrics
download
My scars are too many to hide This dirt is caked to my face How dare you say you clean yourself up To get grace My god does not require me To clean myself To pick myself up Dear friend don't take these words As aggression towards you I'm simply saying that If you feel you clean yourself up Sufficiently to be good You're wrong you're wrong If you've ever felt alone Like you're condemned to a life Of trying to make up for every Constant shortcoming you've done You'll bury yourself alive In your shame I'm digging you out right now I'll never let you suffer I'm digging you out right now I'll carry you through my friend

Beggars (free) 03:05
lyrics
download
I wana live the life of a beggar To have nothing is to want nothing To not suffer from addictions That this life holds on me Carry all I need Some clothes and a dream That one day My questions Have answers And be passed down A legacy is all I ask Not for me Fir something greater I've got to find square one And that path laid before me We all carry shame And chains that hold us down We all have that life we fear Will be exposed to everyone If we had one chance to start over Would we be damned to repeat Or is there that tiny little spark In all of us So beggars we shall be
