Can You Call It Home?

CAN YOU CALL IT HOME? - 1:59
These Philadelphia days
these Philadelphia nights
These alleyways like arteries
bleed into the streets
So many times I think there is nothing left for me but
me and this city
well we got history
I burn old bridges
I build them anew
yet they always find their way back to the same
The same reputations that I've fled
passing street light - after street - light
Keep feelings out of the conversation
but how could I have ev-er enjoyed your company
if I'd never let my guard down?
This false bravado we all have
everything is a joke as we strug-gle to stay
I build new bridges
I build new bridges(Dan)
I build new bridges
and those new ones find a way to connect you to the same
So I feel like I've come full circle
more than once
so why am I still in the same place?
I feel pride in the city I've failed

NO WAY BACK - 2:30
The text I sent - well it read
Sometimes I can't sleep
I still miss you
Yet the river has become an ocean
you're much harder to see from here
Neither of us, neither of us feel free
my spirit lay unsettled
craving some familiarity
but it's familiarity driven by memory
I'm looking for direction because sometimes it seems
Like there is none
and I said everything happens for a reason
So if thats what I believe
There is reason for this
*End slow part
but I'm too impatient to find the meaning
our oars are in the water we just have to start paddling
No way to back track
and what would I do to feel alive again?
Star crossed lovers set to the backdrop of music
Because the Chords mean more than the chorus
I've done so much talking
That my words - now lay - powerless
No matter which part
of the sentence I choose to emphasize
Should I choose to yell? Should I choose to scream?

A Lot Like Sediment

A LOT LIKE SEDIMENT - 2:13
And I'm trying to be at peace
But my heart is full of hate
for the things I cannot change
the injustice I see
The injustice I see
The people I cannot help
Well it all weighs down on me
At the same time I feel heavy
But light enough to float
And it all weighs down on me
And at the same time
I feel heavy
But light enough - to - float
Moved by emotions - Of others
but I'm steady in my own
Sometimes I wish I couldn't feel
make a stone of me
but even the strongest stone
will erode in the most persistent wave
So like sediment I let the river take me
The big picture is hopeless
The whole thing a bit contrived

An Awfully Big Adventure

AN AWFULLY BIG ADVENTURE - 1:40
To die would be an awfully big adventure
I am not brave I've wanted to die for so much (less than you)
But my wants were - weakness
more sel-fish than true
but you - oh you
the strength
to know when the fighting is done
to know when the fighting is done
My words they hold no poetry
but I've tried so hard
to make sense - make sense of it all
to not be caught - in a constant fall
The strength to know when the fighting is done
the strength to rest your weary head
You don't go alone or without peace
Tell me what you see
Is it delusional to think that there's more?
Is it delusional to think that there's more?

Being Righteous

BEING RIGHTEOUS - 1:41
Be righteous in all that you do
It will become become you
It is not who you are but what you do
that defines you
EXEMPLIFY
UNITED WE STAND
DIVIDED WE FALL
DIVIDED we fall
united we stand
divided we fall
buildings to rubble
family and all
so drink to your savior - drink to your sin
drink just to drink to drink again
Change is coming
so be prepared
CHANGE IS COMING
