We tried to skip town But you'll still find us hanging around I don't think that we'll make it out Cause this place keeps holding us down This is where we live (it's not where we wanna be) Please give me a map I've got to find my way out of this trap I only meant to stay a year or two Fifteen later, and I am a fool I want to be free But these clouds are hanging over me Something's telling me I better sit tight Cause this place is gonna put up a fight This is where we live (it's not where we wanna be)

Ready To Run 03:08
My bones feel like they're ready for war My feet like they're ready to run And my lungs feel like they're ready to breathe in the air Under a different sun So I won't change my pace 'Cause this is where I belong And I'm not ready to turn home I'll do whatever I can To find us a road that's leading us to no end If you look a little deeper into what you feel It might just make itself clear If you seek whatever is calling your name You may find the source to all of your fear But once you go There's no turning around 'Cause this is where I belong And I'm not ready to turn home I'll do whatever I can To find us a road that's leading us to no end Look to the sky Don't you look past the night You know in time you will find That your soul may arrive 'Cause this is where I belong And I'm not ready to turn home I'll do whatever I can To find us a road that's leading us to no end

I had something to say But you didn't hear me You never listened anyway I gave up so much of my time Just trying to stay on your good side You done me wrong All along You done me wrong And Now I can't even hear your name Without the blood boiling in my veins Congratulations It takes some kind of man To point his finger at me While he's stealing from my hands I hoped and I prayed that that's not who you were But the longer I'm away from you the more I'm sure You done me wrong All along You done me wrong And now I can't even here your name Without the blood boiling in my veins Without the blood boiling in my veins All along You done me wrong All along You will never know The harm That you've done to my soul I guess I'll let it go You'll never own up oh no oh no

Oh, morning light Morning light shine in Take the devil's darkness far away from me Oh, morning light Don't you leave me now. I'm not strong enough to face this night alone. Oh, morning light wont you lead me home? By the day you are yourself But by the night you are someone else You are not proud of this disease But you are longing to come clean Get out of your bed Open up the door Oh, morning light Morning light shine in Take the devils darkness far away from me Oh, morning light Don't you leave me now. I'm not strong enough to face this night alone. Oh, morning light wont you lead me home? The light of the body is the eye If that's the truth you can gouge out mine I'll try to be a better man But I am shameful for who I am Oh, morning light Morning light shine in Take the devil's darkness far away from me Oh, morning light Don't you leave me now. I'm not strong enough to face this night alone. Oh, morning light wont you lead me home? Oh, morning light, morning light shine in.

Strangers 03:45
When thoughts run through my head at night There's always one that stays awhile And I still clearly remember The night you looked into my eyes An image burned forever In my mind and I've never seemed to let it go And all along it's given me hope you've given me hope Can we go back One last time Just one more time We were strangers on the road When I met you far from home I didn't know what I had found when I found you But you went your way I went mine I was a fool for losing you And I've never seemed to let it go And all along it's given me hope you've given me hope Can we go back One last time Just one more time

I Was Made 03:37
Is this the long way down Or am I on my way back up again It's getting hard to tell While I'm trying to find my place Between heaven and hell I'm not waiting for another day While all my dreams fade away I won't turn into another man I was made to float across the ocean I was made for you Does it trouble your heart To think about the future While your past pulls you apart Time keeps moving on, and on and on The more you try to slow it down The sooner you'll be gone I'm not waiting for another day While all my dreams fade away I won't turn into another man I was made to float across the ocean I was made for you I was made for you I was made for you I was made for you I was made for you I'm not waiting for another day While all my dreams fade away I won't turn into another man I was made to float across the ocean I was made for you I was made for you
7.
I am soul searching You can find me another day I am soul searching There's something out there calling my name I'm not workin' the lines And you won't find me inside Trapped and alone, I need to be free From this wearisome routine I don't mean to be distant And I'll be back in time There's a weight on my mind, I need to be free So don't try to reach me I am soul searching You can find me another day I am soul searching There's something out there calling my name Now they're testing my patience They can't win this fight Cuz I can sever the ties, I'll set myself free So don't try to stop me They fooled me again I should've seen it coming But I starved and I slaved now I'm broke full of shame I should've followed my instincts I am soul searching You can find me another day I am soul searching There's something out there calling my name
8.
I know I know I know I left you there And I can't I can't move on Without you dear I left you stranded and all alone You were defenseless and without hope You came out stronger and more prepared You don't need this man and his cheating heart You don't need this man and his cheating heart I know I know I know I left you there And I can't I can't move on Without you dear I left you stranded and all alone You were defenseless and without hope You came out stronger and more prepared You don't need this man and his cheating heart You don't need this man and his cheating heart
9.
I've been down the loneliest road Was I looking for truth, or just making my own? I don't know I want to be blessing, I end up a curse I hate to admit that I'm getting worse I'd take any step just to know who you are but here in the dark, I can't find your heart But I've seen too much to just let go I'd give anything to know who you are How I hope that there's room for me in your heart Cuz I might as well be no one If I can't be one of your sons I've got so many questions, it's hard to believe That out of your pain would come my relief Is it enough to be sorry for what I couldn't be? When you gave up your soul and became it for me And I know you don't let go You've done everything to show me who you are You still love me though I've broken your heart I might as well be no one If I can't be one of your sons

In Your Mind 03:00
Paint a little picture now Of where you're from Of what you've seen And what you've done Paint a little picture now Of who you love And how you feel When they are close Go there in your mind Just go there in your mind Go there in your mind While you can, While you can Paint a little picture now Of a place You long to go But don't know how Stay a couple minutes there Take it in Breathe in the air That feels so real Go there in your mind Just go there in your mind Go there in your mind While you can, While you can Go there in your mind Just tell me how it feels and what you find Go there in your mind While you can, while you can
