Ships (Balsamo)
​
Storm warning on the radio
So I think I'm gonna take my love down low
But not so deep that I can't see you
Think I'm gonna take my love down low
Right about now I need another drink
The bottle from the wreckage helps me think
Prefer it looking at me than a shrink
A bottle from the wreckage helps me think
We're not even ships that pass in the light of day
The undertow of different oceans keeps us away
We've been pulled apart by the light of a different moon
We're not even ships that pass
Even ships that pass at high noon
Trawling through the hertz for a lost signal
I saw the plane go down in the triangle
Static on the line has become hymnal
The plane went down in the triangle
We're not even ships that pass in the light of day
The undertow of different oceans keeps us away
We've been pulled apart by the light of a different moon
We're not even ships that pass
Even ships that pass at high noon
And we've drifted where we harbour all our fears
Our fears
On the horizon is the hope of new frontiers
And we're the pioneers
Storm warning on the radio
So I think I'm gonna keep my love down low
But not so deep that I can't see you
Think I'm gonna take my love down low

Sing Your Soul Back Home (Balsamo, Hamill)
​
I dream of the river
To carry me easy
Ancient provider
Whispers your name from the deepest blue
The payphone is broken
To call in the family
lost the connection
sending my love down the wire
To you
It's written deep
Deep in our bones
The peace that we gave away
At last is coming home
Sing your soul back
Sing your soul back home
Watching our memories
Play like a movie
Beautiful flowers
Cover our bodies asleep down there
A room with no number
A door is left open
A bed in the corner
Lovers are left coming up for air
It's written deep
Deep in our bones
The peace that we gave away
At last is coming home
Sing your soul back
Sing your soul back home
The crow and the lover
Alone in the silence
Called to remember
History written in me and you
I dream of the river
To carry me easy
Ancient provider
Whispers your name from the deepest blue
It's written deep
Deep in our bones
The peace that we gave away
At last is coming home
Sing your soul back
Sing your soul back home
​
Step Into The Unknown (Balsamo, Collins)
Summer light lays golden as we find ourselves on solid ground
Words softly spoken with a kiss the missing peace is found
Something is calling me
Like a whisper thru the trees
As we step into the unknown
Letting go of stories we've outgrown
As we step into the unknown
Shaking off the bodies that hold us down
Let's step into the unknown
Darling take my hand
For every end there's a beginning time
As sure as we stand
Oh we fall before we fly, we burn to shine
I want to turn and run
But I got these words biting my tongue
So I'll step into the unknown
Letting go of stories we've outgrown
As we step into the unknown
Shaking off the bodies that hold us down
Let's step into the unknown
We'll show what we're made of and what we're afraid of
But in a moment it's all gone...
So let's step into the unknown
Letting go of stories we've outgrown
Oh we'll step into the unknown
As we step into the unknown
Letting go of stories we've outgrown
As we step into the unknown
Shaking off the bodies that hold us down
Let's step into the unknown
Feels like i'm coming home
I've come home
I've come home

Blood Is Blood (Balsamo, Collins, Deighton, Hamill)
​
My father was a lucky man
He Rolled the dice took his chances
Mamma do all that she can
Tried to keep the wolf at bay
Taught the devil all he knew
His smile could seduce the angels
Sing the sirens out the blue
Wipe all their tears away
I know blood is blood
But the pull is stronger
When you're hiding out
The truth becomes stranger
I wish that I wasn't a stranger
Lie beneath a sky of stars
Contemplating all the mystery
See how connected we are
what we're made of can make us afraid
Sweetest sound I ever heard
was my baby daughter breathing
Said it all without a word
Till I saw him in her eyes
I know blood is blood
But the pull is stronger
When you're hiding out
The truth becomes stranger
I know blood is blood
But the pull is stronger
When you're halfway home
The road can look longer
I wish I wasn't a stranger
The weight of our history
The good and the bad comes down the line
Sometimes it's too much to carry
I see your life in my design
the more I try to run
the more I become you
(Still try to run)
I know blood is blood is blood...
I know blood is blood
But the pull is stronger when you're hiding out
The truth becomes stranger
I wish that I wasn't a stranger
​
Longer Road (Balsamo, Collins)
Loneliness can fall
Cross a crowded room
Providence still calls
When you play your hand too soon
​
What makes you react
Can't explain away all the sparks
You're losing all the facts
When you're hiding in the dark
What you're hiding in the dark
​
I can't see the road behind us
I can't see what lies ahead
Let's take the longer road
Take the longer road
Instead
​
A cautionary route
Was always ours to take
But rules are always rules
Till you find the point to break
Will we learn from our mistakes?
​
I can't see the road behind us
I can't see what lies ahead
Let's take the longer road
Take the longer road
Instead
​
And we shine
Shine
Shine a light
C'mon and shine
Shine a light
Let the path get us lost get broken and tossed away from all we know
I can't see the road behind us
I can't see what lies ahead
Let's take the longer road
Lets Take the longer road
Instead
I can see,
See what lies behind us
See what lies ahead
Let's take the longer road
Instead.
​
Circle The Wagons (Balsamo, Phillips)
Before the night draws in let's circle up the wagons
Save all we know
When arrows fly and spears rush by
To separate our atoms
Let them pass thru?
If innocence was my defence
It crumbled like a martyr
But thirsty heart and aching bones
Just make it harder
You know that by my hand my world had shattered
I tried to find the road I know you followed
I proved that all the while I lost hold of the reins...went down in flames
That what remains will never change
Love is strange
We gotta keep it close where all the bodies buried
No one need know
Secrets find a place to shine when no more burdens carried
Will you let go?
If restlessness is evidence
It showed up uninvited
My want to change to rearrange
Maybe misguided
You know that by my hand my world had shattered
I tried to find the road I know you followed
I proved that all the while I lost hold of the reins... went down in flames
That what remains will never change
Love is strange
I'm strung out walking the high wire
While shadows jump into the fire
You keep at bay my naive attempts to fly
Go circle the wagons tonight
You know that by my hand my world had shattered
I tried to find the road I know, (I know) you followed
I proved that all the while I lost hold of the reins... went down in flames
That what remains will never change
Love is strange
High On Sunset EP2
​
High On Sunset (Balsamo, McTaggart, Mosby)
​
He's a major player
Among the sharks and thieves
He could snap his fingers
And they believed
He said that he could make her
A star that shone so bright
She put on a smile
Took off her dress
Cos she knew he was right
High on sunset
Oh the stars are out tonight
Only some get
To see their name in lights
High on sunset
Every would be Brando
Got an eight by ten
And a tan to die for
From parking Jags and Benz
They all got a movie
That they're working on
The saints and sinners
All rush down
To where they know they belong
High on sunset
Oh the stars are out tonight
Only some get
To see their name in lights
High on sunset
To sell your soul in this town
You gotta stand in line
So many dreams burn out before
They've had a chance to shine
High on sunset
Oh the stars are out tonight
High on Sunset
Their sinking from the sky
Cos only some get
To see their name in lights
High on sunset
​
Better Man (The Storys)
​
I'm trying to be a better man, a better man, doing all I can
Trying to be a better man, a better man, I hope you understand
I'm trying to find a fearless heart, a fearless heart
Don't know where to start
I don't know how, but I know I must
Find a fearless heart to win your trust
​
There's a ghost in my place
Sometimes I hear a voice, think I recognise a face
Are you lost on your way?
Do you move inside of me, the man I used to be?
​
I'll use my love to pick you up, pick you up, please take my love
Wanna make this house a home, a shelter from whatever may come
​
There's a ghost in my place
Sometimes I hear a voice, think I recognise a face
Are you lost on your way?
Do you move inside of me, the man I used to be?
Ohhh
​
There's a ghost in my place
Sometimes I hear a voice, think I recognise a face
Are you lost on your way?
Will I hear you whisper what you have to say?
There's a ghost in my place
Sometimes I hear a voice, think I recognise a face
Are you lost on your way?
Do you move inside of me, the man I used to be?
​
I try to live a simple life, a simple life, for this I know I'll fight
Wanna see you dressed in white
One of these days, I'm gonna make it right
​
Lost And Found At The Same Time (Balsamo, Phillips)
​
The maelstrom from his orbit was too strong
You got pushed and pulled along
But the wake got you to wake up
To rise and shine
Now you're lost and found at the same time.
Singing like a bird from a broken clock
You're right twice a day so don't you stop
The stakes that you are tied to
Satisfies the crime
Now you're lost and found at the same time.
You can be more, so much more than you know
Gotta give yourself permission to receive all this love
Caught I'm the middle
Of an old map and a riddle
Darling I believe in you
Can't stop a freak tsunami when it comes
No use trying to swim or trying to run
The wave black and relentless
Drowning power lines
Now you're lost and found at the same time.
You can be more, so much more than you know
Gotta give yourself permission to receive all this love
Time to take refuge
In the solace and the deluge
Darling I believe in you
​
Now you're lost and found at the same time
​Now you're lost and found at the same time
​
I Won't Give Up On You (Balsamo, Collins, Lewis)
​
I won't give up on you
Please don't give up on me
I won't give up on you
Please don't give up on me
​
Drawing your heart in the dusty glass
Neon lights set our eyes on fire
Drink up, this place is closing
Is nothing gonna change your mind?
Is nothing gonna change your mind?
I won't give up on you
Please don't give up on me
I won't give up on you
Please don't give up on me
Hailing a ride in the morning air
Soho rain wash the dirty streets
Look up, can't see you crying
Is nothing gonna change your mind?
Can I try to change your mind?
I won't give up on you
Please don't give up on me
And you can go your own way
I will go mine
Whenever you need a shoulder
I will be right behind
Baby if you change your mind
I won't give up on you
Please don't give up on me
I won't give up on you
Please don't give up on me
It's Always Been You (Balsamo)
Will you be willing
To hold fast against the weight of all these dreams?
Cos you were there when I woke up
feels like a million lifetimes here with me
Everything before you seems like some rehearsal
Like I missed something I never had
It's you
till the sun burns cold
It's you
Till gravity loses hold
And the world disappears
Stars fall through the blue
It's always been you
You
I made a promise
this lonely desert rose won't bloom alone
So I left a light on
in case you ever found your way back home
Because together we're the dance and dancer
A song whose words I waited for
It's you
Till the last bullet flies
It's you
Till the blood in my veins run dry
The lost pieces you found
Was my burden laid low
It's always been you
You
Middle 8
What if this moment is all that the we got?
And everything that I was seeking, all along was seeking me?
We gotta give it our best shot
Hand over both our hearts
As part of you becomes a part of me
Will you still love me
When autumn leaves will blush and start to fall?
Between the lines on our faces
Our story in the space between it all
It's you
Till there's nothing left but dust
It's you
Till the gold starts to rust
Thru the illusion of choice
My little voice knew
It's always been you
you
You
​
Breaking Apart (Balsamo)
​
You are my rabbit's foot my good luck charm
My answered prayer my do no harm
Dark day of the soul into my night of light
You are my desert breeze first taste of wine
My lucky strike in a diamond mine
My wake up call like a whisper through the trees
Where there once was
Lives on like an echo
Haunting our lives
Until we try to let go
The holiest point is our heart
Put together again from the breaking apart
Put together again from the breaking apart
You are the midnight sky the thunder crack
The wheel of fortune in my tarot pack
Let's Bury the past in this future memory
You are a radiant smile in a Picasso Blue
A keeper of deep dark secrets too
You are what remains of how hard we fought for love
Where there once was
Lives on like an echo
Haunting our lives
Until we try to let go
The holiest point is our heart
Put together again from the breaking apart
Put together again from the breaking apart
Solo
So what ever comes whatever goes
We'll smoke the highs and we'll dig the lows
Roll with punches until that final bell
If we get lost or find ourselves apart
I'll always carry you in my heart
I'll leave a light on until you make it home
Where there once was
Lives on like an echo
Haunting our lives
Until we try to let go
The holiest point is our heart
Put together again from the breaking apart
Put together again from the breaking apart
Put together again

Armour Of My Soul (Balsamo, Batteau)
​
Between the heartbreak and the genesis that brought me here
Between the river and the leaves where doubts all disappear
Between the towers and the power lines that call your name
Like some new Troy rising up from the ashes of my shame
Feel your breath against my body
In the naked light
A hope that's burning like the jasmine in the air tonight
Ohhh you are the armour of my soul my battle cry
Ohhh you are the shield of faith that tumbles from the sky
Ohhh you are the armour of my soul
My lost companions turned into the birds of memory
My dream's unburied ghost still walks the coast inside of me
Murder by accident by providence I can't explain
Like some forgotten son of some Aeneas in my veins
Moment to moment
Brings another song into my bed
The unknown chapter you recaptured
Sweeter left unsaid
​
Ohhh you are the armour of my soul my battle cry
Ohhh you are the shield of faith that tumbles from the sky
Ohhh you are the armour of my soul
