The Other Side 04:35
lyrics
buy track
The weight of the world fell on me I was running scared, only 19 Oh my mama, mama said to me Child I am now set free As she slipped into the light That was the day I fell on my knees Felt the jaws of change sink in me Don’t worry I’ll be alright Cause I will see ya someday on the other side Tragedy’s lips have kissed this family And its brought the devil, devil out of me Now I see my father, a broken widowed man Wedding vows and rings in his hands Don’t worry I’ll be alright Cause I will see ya someday on the other side Wake up now, this is just the way life goes Sometimes we lose the ones we love the most Wide awake to the purpose I have now Your voice and words shine through me now Your voice and words shine through me now Give me one more chance Just to be with you Give me one more chance Just to be with you Don’t worry I’ll be alright Cause I will see ya someday on the other side

Run that by me again That is, if you don’t mind I just can’t believe my ears You will find in the end That axe ain’t worth the grind But you’ve been grinding it for years Run that by me again While I pretend to care And you just sit and act surprised We will find in the end The thing that got us here Is selling souls and buying into lies

Down On Chapel Street 04:28
lyrics

I remember hanging out down on Chapel Street That warm spring day was our paradise Streets were buzzing heads were humming down on Chapel Street Didn’t know it then those times would go away Bums and buses brown bag pass’ down on Chapel Street Stolen glances nape neck kisses lead to bigger affairs Art supporter’s urban punk rockers down on Chapel Street Coffee’s brewing friends are talking these days should never end Prayers delivered sins are forgiven down on Chapel Street Head on a shoulder hand on a hip let’s catch the 254 Fare is paid were headed toward home riding down Chapel Street Setting sun tells the story some things were meant to end It was a bright Spring day On a city street Some loves burn too hot You just enjoy the ride Some loves burn too hot Down on Chapel Street

Better Then Believing In Nothing 04:16
lyrics

I see it all around me But I don’t know how to take it Somehow the answer hasn’t found me Until it does I’m walking round just scratching my head I’m weighing all my options You know I’m not in any hurry I hope its not a problem If for now I lose the crowd and go it solo instead I’m not trying to find a better way I guess I‘m just not designed to think that way But I’ve got faith I’ll find my fit someday That’s all I got but it’s Better than believing in nothing I’m talking to the people I’m talking to the wall I’m talking to myself now Sometimes there doesn’t seem to be a difference at all I’m not trying to find a better way I guess I‘m just not designed to think that way But I’ve got faith I’ll find my fit someday That’s all I got but it’s Better than believing in nothing It’s like I’m spinning in a circle But I can never catch my tail It’s like the party’s all around me But I guess my invitation must be lost in the mail I’m not trying to find a better way I guess I‘m just not designed to think that way But I’ve got faith I’ll find my fit someday That’s all I got but it’s Better than believing in nothing

about

Sometimes life throws you a curve ball and an opportunity.
Sometimes you want to curl up into a ball.
Sometimes you have others around who pick you up.
Sometimes you are lucky and you strike a balance.
