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

about

The latest album, Home, is about opening up to the larger life and facing the darkness and light we can find there once we aren't resisting either anymore.  While at the same time celebrating and raging at it all... It's that paradox that makes you who you are. It requires a deep, long look.  That's what we attempted with these songs.  Look deep.  Look honest.  What you've overcome and survived - that’s worth singing about.  We tried to do that.   It only took 40 years to write this album.  A few weeks to record it and 39.9999 years to do field research.

about

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.”
