After That 03:03
God knows there’s no stone of yours That I left unturned in the end God knows there’s no part of you That I didn’t ask you to defend So we both, both found our way after that We both, both found our way after that God knows that love gets confused In the plains of ideals that we roam God knows that love’s still a fire Yet a simple and full coming home And we both, both found our way after that We both, both found our way after that But there ain’t no map that knows of your valleys That knows of the place where all your rivers meet There ain’t know map that knows of your rain In the times of my drought And there ain’t no map that knows of our mountains That knows of the fires that we lit on the peaks There ain’t no map that knows of the reasons that we put them out

He wore a chalice of regret around his neck And he kept it there to warn himself away from the edge He couldn't go that way again It wasn't worth it for the pain And you could see it in the way he held his head There was guilt around his feet, a lonely horror in his bed, A heavy suitcase for his days You could feel it his gaze I am not your way home And I am not a good soul And I don't know your name But I know I know your pain And in that we're the same Every night at eleven fifty-nine He watches as the clock swaps for another day in time And he wonders how it works All our histories and hurts So I tried to find the words to match his wounds A blanket in for self-inflicted solitary rooms To find at every turn You can't explain away the burn I am not your way home And I am not a good soul And I don't know your name But I know I know your pain And in that we're the same In all our sacred moments, we have blood on our hands And we all know the stories only blood would understand And we’re still holdin’ on because the world hasn’t hollowed our plans

All Is Grace 03:56
I’ve spent decades inside of my head Watching free men run while I beat myself up 'til I bled Inviting the same old worry back into my bed And I just forgot And the good got lost in all of the things that I’m not My mind making love to a tried and true train of thought All is grace, man, all is grace It can fill your heart or terrify, but it’s all here to embrace And hindsight is a gift of God That’s always given late You won’t find the language, man All is grace The hype around her has always been hard to believe I’ve seen fires go out, I’ve seen good men just get up and leave Too many that earn but never learn how to receive And I don’t know if I could still sing along If all of a sudden all the wrong things went wrong And I folded to doubt after being so sure all along
4.
All I Own 04:12
Don't listen to my words, man 'Cause not even I believe them Not even I can stand the way the catch the light My pain is not forgotten It's just buried in The Garden Under all the sounds I've tried to leave behind But I come clean... I've been trying to watch my empire grow And I've been trying to mark my name on every street I roam But life will break my body and death will take my soul And that's all I own When I was a boy, my god, he didn't speak to me I could not see Him hung upon that tree By those arms, those arms So I made gods of fire and sacrifice I made them in the image of me They pushed me hard to mold me With these arms, these arms, these arms Just lead me to the bread and the wine Let me taste what's been true since the beginning of time
5.
Well I want to see the world Through the eyes of another A coat of arms upon my skin at night To sit in the corner Next to a voice that I know Singing words to me to put the world to rights But I can’t nobody I can’t hurt nobody I can’t hurt nobody If I’m alone I’ve always had time for the lone ranger I’ve always had his picture on my wall But for the good of my health I never get to reassemble myself Unless you remind me where all my pieces fall But I can’t nobody I can’t hurt nobody I can’t hurt nobody If I’m alone At night I lay in bed dreaming About what it’s gonna take To start to mend all that I break And I can’t tell what’s wrong anymore When I’ve been this way before Now my dreaming just keeps me awake
6.
A Lucky Wind 06:01
Blessed is the forest that ushers in the Autumn Blessed is the earth that lets the river wash it away Blessed are the children that never dream of kingdoms And blessed is the man who never got his way It was a lucky sea that took me in its tide It was a lucky wind that blew away my halo and you will find No more words and no more methods left here to admire See, you cannot be raised if you’re alive Blessed are the hungry, the poor, the broken hearted Blessed are the widows in black to say goodbye Blessed is the failure out of second chances We long for the resurrection, but we don’t want to die You cannot be raised if you’re alive We long for resurrection, but we don’t want to die
