Part One of a three part live set from our living room. All three songs are originals that will be available in our Bandcamp store for purchase.

Lyrics:

I won't pretend that I'm confident
It keeps me from help when I need it
Where there is confusion, I don't want to see it at all
It may be impudent but I'm not a student of
Thoughts you concocted in shadows
These doors closed just measure
What you won't face on your own
So let me in

Unseen by the hear that you Kept from yourself
There are bruises on skin you can't hide
Fighting to tell the story of how you arrived
So blink once for, "I know."
And twice for, "I'm lost."
There's more life here to treasure
While you count the cost of leaving hearts exposed

We should have just gone inside

Oh, misadventures:
Times that we wouldn't let go of cover
See, it showed us what we refused
For love, was never enough to take chances
For all of the others that slipped through our fingers
We wouldn't always care deeply enough
I swear though, there's more to this, more than you know

What if control was never the answer

Unseen by the hear that you Kept from yourself
There are bruises on skin you can't hide
Fighting to tell the story of how you arrived
So blink once for, "I know."
And twice for, "I'm lost."
There's more life here to treasure
While you count the cost of being all alone

I will never forget the feeling
Of seeing you reeling, watching you fall
From hurts that I’m not sure
I could’ve stepped in to take
A lot of these days though
I wish I’d been more than I was

But me in control, was never the answer

See you’re known by the heart that you wear on your sleeve
Those bruises will heal, there’s no reason to leave
It’s a beautiful story, that tale is becoming a guide
To care for those looking for more hope than they have known
It’s stretching out to them, the sight of your growth
You’re worth more, than ever you’ve known
You’re alive

You're alive.
