Echo 02:56
Feel an echo in my soul Once was warm and now is cold All I know from root to tree Now it feels clear cut in me Feel an Echo In my soul Feel an echo in my soul, Feel my heart been bought and sold Space for longer winds to blow Stir up all that's left to go Feel an echo In my soul Feel an echo deep inside There is nowhere left to hide Gone the trees I used to climb Left a part of me behind Feel an echo In my soul

Moving too slow Because my back is too sore Think I'll have another drink for the boost Soon there will be snow And the cold wind blows Hope the liquor keeps me nice and loose See I don't get paid if I don't go play The tequila always brightens my mood It will drive me home where it's nice and warm Where the tunes can kick the pain with a boot Yes it drives me, yeah It drives me Yet I'm tired My mind is still wired Building up a dream Till I can roam I'll be working from home In hopes to maybe make me some dough With breaks in between I'll be keeping it mean Where Winehouse and La Havas can blow Gotta get things made When your stuck in the shade Lift a little dark from the blue It can drive you home where it's nice and warm Where the tunes can kick the pain with a boot

Day Dreams 03:12
Day Dreams, day Dreams Hope you come back soon So we can coast above the heavy In a warm hot air balloon Because these night frights Won't let me be There in the corners of my room And I don't wanna be a bother Just want a tiny taste of you Day Dreams , day Dreams Stay a while with me Day Dreams , day dreams Stay a while with me Day dreams, day dreams Want to make it real So we throw off all the night frights And they won't feed off how I feel We can take the train Or go to Spain Throw them right off track No I don't want to be a bother Just want a tiny dose of that Background voice lyrics: Please take a hold of me Take me away for just a little while Give me relief from this aching heart Even if for only a little while Walk me through the sunshine In places of new To refresh my soul Where the dark can't find me Let my mind transform me Transform me like a butterfly Weightless and coasting

Find a way to light the spark Searching for a match in the dark Feel the odds are stacked and you will never be free It had a taste like a sweet plantain Now it's bland and its all the same You've got to scale back from the fruit to the seed Reignite all your aspirations Give yourself that invitation To give a rise to inspiration Invitation to inspiration Can be a long road back to your heart Hope you get the fuel to get the car to start And the destination feels worlds apart Had a taste like a sweet champagne Gone flat, I've got not one to blame You've gotta shake it up, let the fizz be free Reignite all your aspirations Give yourself that invitation To give a rise to inspiration Invitation to inspiration Find a way to light the spark Searching all around for a light in the dark Used to taste sweet now its bland to me You've gotta scale back from the fruit to the seed Invitation to inspiration

Primed 03:04
As soon as I wake up Here comes the dread My world is so shook up Then it invades again It flows back in with Seconds to spare My dreams they fade so quick Then boom I'm here I need something I can use Between the friends The shows, the booze I need something more than time If this is how it gonna be I wasn't primed It's not easy looking forward Nor is it looking back We can't predict the future Or how we will react All I can say right now is that I'm That I'm trying to survive The wilderness outside me The wilderness inside
