The Shipwreck I can’t get no relief - running ‘round in circles while you run around on me Do you like what you see? - a 9 to 5 zombie giving up my dreams Shine a light I can feel - the storm is raging but we’re coming back for more Who do you want me to be? Do you wanna see me crying? Crawl across the floor? Do you wanna see me beg you? Beg you back for more? Do you like to see me helpless? A co-dependent fool? Do you wanna keep me crazy? I think you do. Waves are crashing now and I can barely breathe I’m swimming for the shore - it’s the only light I see You are lashed to the wheel - I’m bailing water from a ship we have destroyed. Do you wanna see me crying? Crawl across the floor? Do you wanna see me beg you? Beg you back for more? Do you like to see me helpless? A co-dependent fool? Do you wanna keep me crazy? I think you do.

I Love You 03:12
I Love You I get a little choked up - when you’re talking to me I play it so damn cool - I drop my drink We’ve been up all night - I’m starting to cave Please don’t hang up - there’s something I gotta say It’s on the tip of my tongue - well don’t say it - she’ll run I love you, oh I do, oh I do, oh I do I love you, oh I do, oh I do, oh I do If I could see your face - it’d be a real mixed tape Say something quick - don’t make me wait I’m in a full blown sweat - with no regrets I can’t keep it all in - I’ll say it again and again It’s on the tip of my tongue - well don’t say it - she’ll run I love you, oh I do, oh I do, oh I do I love you, oh I do, oh I do, oh I do

Carnival 03:20
Carnival Let’s take a walk around the block - there’s a carnival When the sun is done and the night has won - so beautiful Seeing so clearly it finally hits me Love your face, it’s a lovely place - insatiable Feel your way to the open gate - so wonderful Seeing so clearly it finally gets me She’s a carnival and I love her so - I can’t let her go, I can’t let her go She’s a carnival and I love her so - I can’t let her go, I can’t let it go Touch my skin, bite my lip - it’s magical Scream out loud, turn me around - it’s a carnival Seeing so clearly it finally hits me She’s a carnival and I love her so - I can’t let her go, I can’t let her go She’s a carnival and I love her so- I can’t let her go, I can’t let it go

Orlando (Keep Dancing) I wanna hold my lover’s hand, without the fear of an unexpected fist coming out of nowhere This one cuts deep, the nightmares explode bullets and blood and the last phone calls Fear turns to fury, inconsolable grief Our brothers and sisters, down on their knees They waged war while we were dancing, singing of peace They waged war while we were laughing, feeling so free They waged war while we were smiling, falling in love They waged war while we were dancing… while we were dancing I saw the helpers come rushing in I saw the strangers carry my friends I saw a mother say good-bye to her son I saw our family yearning for love Fear turns to fury, inconsolable grief Our brothers and sisters, down on their knees They waged war while we were dancing, singing of peace They waged war while we were laughing, feeling so free They waged war while we were smiling, falling in love They waged war while we were dancing… We will keep dancing, singing in peace We will keep laughing, feeling so free We will keep smiling, falling in love We will keep dancing…

Team 04:05
Team You’re packing a suitcase - you’re wearing a new face We used to talk to each other I said the wrong thing - you pulled a backswing We used to smile at each other Cross check for push back - do this and do that Hustle up and hurry back to me We used to be a pretty good team It should be your day off - but you got a conference call You gotta take it and your sorry I got a small break so I’m on the first plane Out of the mighty KC Cross check for push back - do this and do that Hustle up and hurry back to me We used to be a pretty good team We bought a house but it’s not a home We have land but it’s overgrown And I’ve never felt so alone Cross check for push back - do this and do that Hustle up and hurry back to me We used to be a pretty good team We used to make a really great team

Lover Be Cool I’ve had enough of the heartbreak – had enough of your rules Had enough of your darkness – infiltrating my tunes Lover be cool to my awkward heart No I don’t work a real job – at least according to you I like history and sci-fi and harry potter too Lover be cool to my awkward heart I’m the same person that you met - coffee pots and cigarettes Dreaming that my songs will break through Lover be cool to my awkward heart I heard your friends laughing in the back of the bar When I picked you up last night in my piece of shit car Lover be cool to my awkward heart I’m thrift stores and comic books – guitars and amps And you would like star wars – if you gave it a chance Lover be cool to my awkward heart I’m the same person that you met - coffee pots and cigarettes Dreaming that my songs will break through Lover be cool to my awkward heart

This Town 05:37
This Town We skipped the county fair with a four on the floor You said, “find it, don’t grind it” - cracked a smile, it was warm There’s a mix and match in a brown paper bag It was the best I could lift from my brother’s stash I can still smell your car I can still feel your arm reaching… I hate this town - ever since you left, It’s hard to settle down In this town - everything’s a test - I’ll never be found The cool kids can be so mean - it’s hard to fit in With my garage sale t-shirt and my hand-me-down jeans You were restless - so eager to leave Hostage by birth - free at 18 I wonder where you are I can still feel your arm reaching… I hate this town - ever since you left, It’s hard to settle down In this town - everything’s a test - I’ll never be found Another rodeo night - another drag down main And the sinners are in church so they don’t feel the shame And I drive my car fast just so I can feel free Then I slam on brakes because I know - I can’t leave I hate this town - ever since you left, It’s hard to settle down In this town - everything’s a test - I’ll never be found

Fakebook 03:26
Fakebook Monday mornin’ and the struggle is real Here’s an update on the way that I feel Here’s a meme, I can’t adult today Taco Tuesday for my online friends Time hop, there’s that picture again Last boozeday, I didn’t mean to offend Another friend request denied You favored Brownback and Donald Trump is your guy Fakebook - so much better than real life Fakebook - so much better than my life Tag me in a picture on Fakebook I can manifest a new life - one I wish was my life Here’s another selfie - here’s another cat pic Wacky Wednesday at my buddy’s rock show That’s me in the very front row and I’m nervous cause my battery’s low Throwback Thursday in my parachute pants Rocked a mullet at the 8th grade dance #yolo #blessed Another friend request denied I don’t play candy crush or care what you ate tonight Fakebook - so much better than real life Fakebook - so much better than my life Tag me in a picture on Fakebook I can manifest a new life - one I wish was my life Here’s another profile - just another catfish TGIF - Saturday rest until Sunday Funday Fakebook - so much better than real life Fakebook - so much better than my life Tag me in a picture on Fakebook I can manifest a new life - one I wish was my life Here’s another profile - here’s another cat pic

Lost In You 04:10
Lost In You Get up and shake it off It's a hit but not a loss, a real transformer It's fear that locks me down Keeps me comin' round, to a real barn burner And I have told so many lies mostly to myself that I'm beginning to think they're true I got lost in you I moved here for your job I sunk just like a rock, it took me under I took you back again, I held the bad stuff in Should have known better I've done it so many times Not like I should act surprised when I do but I do I got lost in you I have told so many lies mostly to myself that I'm beginning to think they're true I've done it so many times It's not like I should act surprised when I do but I do I got lost in you

Kansas 1861 04:57
Kansas 1861 Where the sunflowers grow – that is my home – 1861 – it’s my blood and bones It won’t be long until the seeds that I sow – root me down again with my family and friends Where the sunflowers grow It’s my birthright – it’s fields of gold – it’s a heartland - with a story untold It’s a farmers hands cracked and worn It’s a free state out of chaos and blood – it’s native tribes of fierce passion and love It’s wild outlaws – the kind you can’t touch It’s a long drive on an old dirt road – It’s a sunset that burns and overflows It’s the hard work of faith and hope Where the sunflowers grow – that is my home – 1861 – it’s my blood and bones It won’t be long until the seeds that I sow – root me down again with my family and friends Where the sunflowers grow
