Wake Me Up
03:11
|
|||
Gave you a gold heart locket for my soul
One you never paid for but you stole
You won’t cross over to the other side
You never were a reliable guy
Took what you wanted when you wanted
The time was right I was too young to fight
Grandpa’s gone mad - the whole word is spinning
Maybe you’ll be the next one he’s pinning
Wake me up when the nightmare is over
Wake me up I’ll never play your Red Rover
Days almost done now you should go
Your ‘preacher ways’ were only for a show
Grandma says “it can’t be true”
After all I was only 2
“You’re makin’ in it up child, you should know
Goin’ to hell for diggin’ a hole
The aftermath and the afterlife
Ain’t much different than the devil’s wife
She’ll know it’s true - keep denying you’re right

Silence
03:48
|

You think silence is the way to go
It's not the abuse I used to know
I think words withheld are nothing less
Than a gaping hole inside my chest
Do you know the meaning of my name?
Do you know I'm more than this broken frame?
Can you see me? Can you hear me?
Will you come inside? Quite trying to hide?
Will you seek me till you find me and know that I'm alive
You think breathing is the only living
And all else is extreme forgiving
I think living is almost like dying
Some days are hardly worth the trying
Do you know the meaning of my name?
Do you know I'm more than this broken frame?
Can you see me? Can you hear me?
Will you come inside? Quite trying to hide?
Will you seek me till you find me and know that I'm alive
Save me from myself
I don't wanna be nobody else
Do you know the meaning of my name?
Do you know I'm more than this broken frame?
Can you see me? Can you hear me?
Will you come inside? Quite trying to hide?
Will you seek me till you find me and know that I'm alive

Rise
04:19
|
|||
Searchin' for a reason?
No sir, I'm just looking for the truth
Thats getting harder this season
Cuz no one seems to need evidence or proof
Worthy Illusions or just meaningless necessities
You hope in the future and I'll trust what I see
It's gonna fall but we'll rise above it all
You and I might even hafta’ knock it down
Its gonna break Oh we'll learn from our mistakes
Trust that love in time will come around
Can you teach me to get older?
Let humiliations make better man of you
I'm in my darkest hour
That’s the best place to find that elusive truth
Worthy Illusions or just meaningless necessities
You live for everyone else I’ll live for me
I come here to be taught - you're not my concern
I come here to be taught- I got a lot to unlearn

Ghost
04:55
|
|||
Purple & White Shirt
Formed around her small chest
Innocence gone left; without notice
The tea party’s over
A moment you cannot erase
Her sponge curled hair
Tied with lavender ribbon
Fingers to lips better keep silent
He’s drawing the curtains
Now your fighting off embrace
She knows how to fly
She knows her disguise
She knows love otherwise
His Hands down her pants
He says I’ll watch as you jump now
Run if you can; I will come find you
Nightmares ruled by silence
Something you can’t seem to shake
The smell of that soap
Makers her feel dirty
Slipping away feeling unworthy
Shame, fault and protection
There's an awful lot at stake
She knows how to fly
She knows her disguise
She knows love otherwise
She’s a grown up now
She’s still feeling four years
A patch in her quilt
She never stays warm with
Comfort or confession
Or ignore the loss of youth
Smiles & Laughter & Family & Sunlight
Voice like an angel
She makes the world twilight
Everything behind you
Is nothing that you have to prove
She knows how to fly
She knows her disguise
She knows love otherwise
She’s a lovely girl
With a heart of gold
Traded childhood dreams
For an old mans ghost
Old mans ghost
Purple & White Shirt
Formed around her small chest
Innocence gone left; without notice

Home
05:03
|
|||
He said, "Sit down"
"Are your shadows dark or golden?"
I'm trembling now
"You'll need to know this as you get older"
When something happens-we give it reason
Hard to notice in this season...that you're
Always home
You're always home
Where the heart is, wounds are
So quiet now
We're more complicated than we admit or imagine
She said, "Look around.
We all have a story beneath conversations"
Even the sun hides some days of the week
You're amiable but showing teeth - you're
Always home
You're always home
Where the healing and hurts are
We go to where the greatest conflict was held
That’s where the transformation is
We can only hope that the stories they tell will remember this...
...will they remember this...
The slash between
Creating/Destroying - it's were we find our meaning
I guess that means
We're all at once whole and broken
Some things are simply wonderful
Some things are simply full of wonder
You're always home
You're always home
It's where you are

Gypsy Spirit
03:02
|
|||
She has a Gypsy spirit
A body on the run
Her legs won’t carry her
To the place with all the fun
Her mind is racing
With thoughts of all she’s missed
Maybe things will change if she
Only makes a wish
Upon a shooting star
A god that’s far
Her magical bear
Her “get lucky” underwear
Upon her mothers grave
Her fathers rage
Her sisters brave
Her brothers slave
She has a Gypsy spirit
A body on the run
Can anyone see her
Heading toward the sun
A tiny migrant with no fixed address
It settled in the day her daddy missed the rent
The day her mama gave up family for lent
The day the plague came
The day the flood came
The day the fire took it all away
A nomad wandering for home
But will she ever find her home

Cages
05:59

Baby its alright You can sleep tight
You’re safe when you’re in my arms
Scary as hell out there Evil everywhere
But I’ll keep you from harm
You’re holding hands with treachery
But Momma read he has a plan…so until then
Lock up your daughters shackle your sons
We don’t want the devil carrying you away
Its for your own good Even cuz’ I love you
So hush now while I go and pray
Got a halo for me Yours is a leash
So you don’t wander off
Heartbreak in the air But you I’ll spare
From the pain it brings
You’re holding hands with treachery
But you’ll do as the good book says so until then
I’m holding hands with reality
So I guess I’ll be damned – but untll then
Until then – on my feet I learned how to land
Livin’ ain’t no sin, you understand
So I tear off these shackles Break these chains
I’m running away with the devil today
If livin life means a little a pain and misery
Then the devil and will get along ok
The devil should get along ok
The devil and I we’re doing ok

Forgiveness
07:19
|
|||
Grieving is a part of the journey
Saying goodbye to who I thought I was
Life is a mystery, full of twists and turns
One little lesson that I've learned
Forgiveness, is our healing medicine
Forgiveness, when we just can't forget
Sharper than any sword, stronger than any war
It's not easy, but I know it's a gift from You
I know it's a gift from You
We're all a part of a family
The family is growing again
And we will fall and break and bruise
Get back up with open wounds
And choose to trust again
Forgiveness, is our healing medicine
Forgiveness, when we just can't forget
Sharper than any sword, stronger than any war
It's not easy, but I know it's a gift from You
Yeah, I know, it's a gift from You
You never said that it was easy
You know what it's like to lose
Through power of forgiveness
You make all things new
You make all things new
A little faith can move the mountains
How much faith will it take to
Let go of the pain we're in
Reach out to the world again
And keep holding on to You
Forgiveness, is our healing medicine
Forgiveness, when we just can't forget
Oh, it's sharper than any sword, stronger than any war
It's not easy, but I know it's a gift from You
Yeah, it is
I know it's a gift from You
We say, Father, forgive them
They know not what they do
They know not what they do
Father, forgive them
They know not what they do
They know not what they do
We say, Father, forgive us
We know not what we do
We know not what we do
Oh Father, forgive us
We know not what we do
We know not what we do
Forgiveness, is our healing medicine
Forgiveness, when we just can't forget
Sharper than any sword, stronger than any war
It's not easy, but I know it's a gift from You

Gemini
03:40
|
|||
You won't talk to me
Neither did she
I attract the same
I guess it's the game
I wouldn't know for sure
How much to endure
I was trained to stay
Like a dog on a chain
You're the gemini
I'm the gem in eye
You matter more
Show me door
If you can't see then let me fly
If you can't love me then let me rise
If you can't include me inside your head
I'll show myself out instead
I can see your soul
Like the lines on your face
I can hear the words
You refuse to say
I wish you'd find your nerve
Make it clear to me
Once and for all
Disappear and be
You're the gemini
I'm the gem in eye
You matter more
Show me door
If you can't see then let me fly
If you can't love me then let me rise
If you can't include me inside your head
I'll show myself out instead
I've known all along
I just needed this song
To find courage to land
I've known all along
I just needed this song
To find courage to land
You're the gemini
I'm the gem in eye
You matter more
Show me door
You can't see then let me fly
You can't love me then let me rise
You can't include me inside your head
I'll show myself out instead
You can't see then let me fly
You can't love me then let me rise
You can't include me inside your head
I'll show myself out instead

Whiskey and Wine

Annagail Grand Rapids, Michigan
Equal parts singer/songwriter and rock band holding their own with heavy hitters or in an intimate setting. Somehow, they
make sense in all extremes. A blend of courage and frailty are embraced and they’re proud of both. As Jared has said of their fluid style, “Its not uncommon for me to listen to The Cure and Steve Earl back to back...before breakfast even.”
