Justice Lies
I remember love-ins, I remember war
I remember marching with thousands maybe more
I remember thinking we could change the world
and I believed in justice
Many years have passed and we have seen it all
We've seen dreams blossom and we have seen 'em fall
Every time I wonder where it all went wrong
I come back to justice
Where did all the hope go and when will it return
Where did all the hope go while our cities burn
Justice, justice is not blind
Just open up your eyes
You can see that justice lies
I remember childhood, I remember school
We learned about the past and we learned that there were rules
and when a rule was broken there was a price to pay
and we believed in justice
When did our beliefs become a hollow joke
When did optimism become fires to be stoked
Justice, justice is not blind
Just open up your eyes
You can see that justice lies
I remember love-ins, I remember war
I remember marching with thousands maybe more
I remember thinking we could change the world
and I believed in justice
Where did all the hope go and when will it return
Where did all the hope go while our cities burn
Justice, justice is not blind
Just open up your eyes
You can see that justice lies
Justice, justice is not blind
Just open up your eyes
You can see that justice lies

Blank Slate
I'm not coming back after all
I took a little time in the fall
I'm going where the world won't find me
Leaving all my troubles behind me
I've got some stuff to figure out
That I don't want to talk about
I'm taking off for the unknown
Making my decisions on my own
Give me a blank slate
Wipe away the pain
Let me feel the air I breathe
No one told me which way to go
Where I'm headed I don't know
I can feel my shoulders untighten
I can feel my burden lighten
All I can see are the pine trees
As the road unwinds behind me
Give me a blank slate
Wipe away the pain
Let me feel the air I breathe
I've got some stuff to figure out
That I don't want to talk about
I'm taking off for the unknown
Making my decisions on my own
Give me a blank slate
Wipe away the pain
Let me feel the air I breathe

Hope
Hope please don't desert me
I'm counting on you
Hope please don't desert me
Give us the strength to get through
I woke up this morning with tears in my eyes
but I'm not the first one to cry
I think of the others and how life has changed
and try to embrace the remains
The closeness essential to staying alive
Has now been forbidden if we're to survive
Hope please don't desert me
I'm counting on you
Hope please don't desert me
Give us the strength to get through
The radio's on but it's not playing songs
There's nothing but bad news today
Pacing the floor, I pick up my guitar
but I don't know which music to play
A sad song will take me where I don't want to go
A happy song won't keep me from knowing what I know
Hope please don't desert me
I'm counting on you
Hope please don't desert me
Give us the strength to get through
Give us the strength to get through

Downpour
Give me a heart
Give me a home
Give me some time 'cause I've been alone
You're not like anyone I've ever known
Tomorrow can't come soon enough
Tomorrow's all I'm thinking of
You bring me flowers
and you bring me the sun
We talk for hours even though we've just begun
You see the valley where I come from
Tomorrow can't come soon enough
Tomorrow's all I'm thinking of
Light just like a downpour
Upon my lonely life
and I find I'm not alone anymore
You give me reason
To stay in the game
and you're not teasing when you say there'll be rain
but I don't mind as long as I see you again
Tomorrow can't come soon enough
Tomorrow's all I'm thinking of
Light just like a downpour
Upon my lonely life
and I find I'm not alone anymore

Suffer Softly
Suffer softly, suffer sweet
These are the darkest hours
We're ever gonna keep
I can't embrace this solitude
I can't erase this distance from you
Starved for your touch, I don't know what to do
The madness all around so absolute
Suffer softly, suffer sweet
These are the darkest hours
We're ever gonna keep
Suffer softly
Here in a world turned upside down
With no little comforts to be found
I've never known devastation so pure
Will this heartache ever be cured
Suffer softly, suffer sweet
These are the darkest hours
We're ever gonna keep
Isolation is taking a toll
My heart grows weary
My feelings grow cold
Suffer softly, suffer sweet
These are the darkest hours
We're ever gonna keep
Suffer softly

Love Forgives

Love Forgives
Every falling star shines and dies
Up upon a hill blankets wrapped tight
Feel the blades of grass in the cool moonlight
Pressed against the glass of our jug of wine
Soon tomorrow far from us
Will tear our hearts away
All the stars that streak the sky
Won't shine another day
Love forgives every fall from grace
Love will heal every hurt
Love forgives every fall from grace
Time will prove love's worth
Chill is in the air this August night
It's more than we can bear to say goodbye
Somewhere in our minds we think it's right
Somewhere in our souls we know it's a lie
If I knew what I know now
I'd rail against the night
If I knew that you'd become
A shadow in my life
Love forgives every fall from grace
Love will heal every hurt
Love forgives every fall from grace
Time will prove love's worth

Loveless Days
You think that you can
See another man
and not break my heart
You want to be free
To not think of me
but what will that cost
Try and find another way
To hold out my hand
Try and find another way
To make you understand
Life is short
What you're looking for
Is a way to close the door
On sad and loveless days
You think that you'll find
Something inside
By being with him
I'm just standing by
Watching love die
Before it begins
Go and find another man
To hold you 'til the dawn
When you're lying next to me
I know I'm not the only one
Life is short
What I'm looking for
Is a way to close the door
On sad and loveless days
All the time you wasted
In a world not meant for you
Now you want a taste of
Everything that's new
You think that you can
See another man
and not break my heart
You want to be free
To not think of me
but what will that cost
Try and find another way
To hold out my hand
Try and find another way
To make you understand
Life is short
What you're looking for
Is a way to close the door
On sad and loveless days
Sad and loveless days
Sad and loveless days

Footprints
There's always been a chasm between us
A lack of understanding and of trust
I don't know if you ever really saw me
and love was never something we discussed
People don't stay in my life for very long
I don't know what I'm doing
but what I'm doing must be wrong
Please don't lie
Just say goodbye
and let the tide
Erase the footprints of our lives
I thought that I’d found a kindred spirit
Someone I could share my secrets with
My conscience spoke but I didn't hear it
and I justified every connection missed
Everything changes and dies before to long
I don't know what I'm doing
but what I'm doing must be wrong
We said there'd always be tomorrow
and we would find our common ground
We said there'd always be tomorrow
but time moves like a thief without a sound
There's always been a chasm between us
A lack of understanding and of trust
I don't know if you ever really saw me
and love was never something we discussed
People don't stay in my life for very long
I don't know what I'm doing
but what I'm doing must be wrong
Please don't lie
Just say goodbye
and let the tide
Erase the footprints of our lives

Like You Are
There's nothing I could do to change you
I wouldn't try baby if I could
I don't want to rearrange you
'cause if I did it wouldn't be no good
Don't wanna push too hard
Don't wanna go too far
'cause baby, I'm gonna love you like you are
I'm gonna love you like you are
You know nothing lasts forever
I may not be your perfect man
but when I hold you I feel happy
and I'm gonna hold you just as long as I can
Don't wanna push too hard
Don't wanna go too far
'cause baby, I'm gonna love you like you are
I'm gonna love you like you are
The evening sun casts a shadow on your face
and any doubts I have disappear without a trace
There's nothing I could do to change you
I wouldn't try baby if I could
I don't want to rearrange you
'cause if I did it wouldn't be no good
Don't wanna push too hard
Don't wanna go too far
'cause baby, I'm gonna love you like you are
I'm gonna love you like you are
I'm gonna love you like you are

Self-Destructive Heart
I've got a self destructive heart
and it's tearing me apart
I put my trust in you
but you already knew
That you would make me beg
and soon you would renege
I should've never let it start
I've got a self destructive heart
I've got a melancholy soul
but sometimes I don't know
The way life unfolds
I've got no cherries in my bowl
I try to have compassion
Even though I'm crashin'
but life takes it's toll
I've got a melancholy soul
Just had a fight with my mind
I'm all messed up inside
Took a right to my ego
Took a left to my libido
I've got a self destructive heart
and it's tearing me apart
I've got a self destructive heart
and it's tearing me apart
I put my trust in you
but you already knew
That you would make me beg
and soon you would renege
I should've never let it start
I've got a self destructive heart
I've got a self destructive heart
I've got a self destructive heart

Currents
If I could read a crystal ball
and see the future
Could I break my fall
I predict with certainty
That there'll be heartbreak
In this life I lead
But I know these thoughts
Are drowning me
Pain will pass
Like currents in the stream
If I could spend my days with you
Without the feeling
That you're leaving soon
Sometimes my mind is a proud enemy
It keeps me spinning
and it gives no relief
But I know these thoughts
Are drowning me
Pain will pass
Like currents in the stream
Even though I know
Change is inevitable
I can feel the undertow
Pulling me, pulling me
If I could read a crystal ball
and see the future
Could I break my fall
I predict with certainty
That there'll be heartbreak
In this life I lead
But I know these thoughts
Are drowning me
Pain will pass
Like currents in the stream
