Doin' Time
03:37

Well, I've been growing restless
Waiting for a change
Tomorrow's caught in the turnstiles
All tattered and frayed
I know you've seen me smile
But I can't today
Rolling over, trying to hide
To keep the sorrows at bay
Feels like I've been doin' time
Feels like I've been doin' time
What will it take to break
From a cage of your own making?
Gathered songs and stored up words
And a plan for escaping
Feels like I've been doin' time
Feels like I've been doin' time
Feels like I've been doin' time
Must be time to stop trying to hide
Well, I've been growing restless

Little April

Come on, April
Won't you come on in
Come on, angel
We're counting on your win
I hear you have a remedy
You see we have been suffering
We all need a little respite
We all need a little sunshine
Won't you come on in
Won't you come on in
Bring us colour
Brighten up the road
Arrive with levity
Lighten up our load
We all need reassurance
We all need a guide
Won't you come on in
Won't you come on in
Come on, come on
Come on, April
We have been burned
We have been hollowed by fire
We have been lied to
We have been separated, inundated
We have been denied
We have been left to die
We have been broken down
We have been broken down
I hear you have a remedy
You see we have been suffering
We all need a little April
We all need hope to rhyme
So come on in
Won't you come in
Come on in
Come on, come on
Come on, April

Call You Home
03:41

When I wake in the night with my fear running wild
I've come to call you home
Recall the light that you gift and my senses shift
I've come to call you home
Ooh, I've come to call you home
Ooh, I've come to call you home
Follow me out 'neath the stars where I shout
I've come to call you home
Past the shadows and doubt there's a freeway out
I've come to call you home
Ooh, I've come to call you home
Ooh, I've come to call you home
When I'm lost in uncertainty, struggling to believe
Come to call me home
Waiting to be free from this relentless loneliness
come to call me home
Ooh, come to call me home
Ooh, please, call me home

Raise Your Heart
03:41
|

Words never made it to paper
Like punching at the glass of a two-way mirror
It's I who's in my way
Blood's still pumping if you open a vein
Truth will bleed out if you put it to page
And I, I hear you say
Raise your heart just a little bit more, a little bit more
Raise your heart just a little bit more, a little bit higher, higher
The message comes as a thought, as a rule
Rise up, rise up, turn pain into fuel
And I, I must obey
Raise your heart just a little bit more, a little bit more
Raise your heart just a little bit more, a little bit higher, higher
I never wondered, I never wondered how to bleed
I only wondered, I only wondered how to breathe
We all will suffer, we'll always suffer
But maybe...
Raise your heart just a little bit more, a little bit more
Raise your heart just a little bit more, a little bit
Raise your heart just a little bit more, a little bit more
Raise your heart just a little bit, a little bit more

Go Deeper
04:51
|

All the doubt that weighs upon me
All the failures that have scarred me
All the reasons I've stayed hidden
I am rethinking, I am rethinking
Through the noise that wakes the demons
And the static come between us
I'll let you know me, I'll let you know me
We embark this road unknown
Heretofore we can't be sure
Let's go deeper, you said
Let's go deeper, you said
All the songs we are not singing
All the words we haven't written
Rise from depths we now are digging
We'll let them rain out, let them rain out
We will map roads overgrown
Here and on we must be sure
We'll be clear in response
We will sing our truest song
Let's go deeper, you said
Let's go deeper, you said
Rise out, rise out giving
I'm ready for the receiving
I'll rise out, rise out giving
I'm ready for the receiving
The receiving
