The Thief

The Thief
Paradise lost when I was three
Spent a life hoping for mercy
When the water’s low, and the fish at sea
I find myself wandering secretly
Stealing only what I need, safe in the shadow, til you exposed me
chorus:
It’s hard to know what to believe
Cause there ain’t nobody cares for me
I'd do anything to please
If the love is scarce can you blame the thief?
If the love is scarce can you blame the thief?
A child cries out to be seen
Tears of salt fall and sting
Between house of cards and a pummeled beach
A fist of fire mighta set her free
She locked away her temper, sealed it up like treasure, and lost the only key
chorus
bridge
If all I stole was off the ground
Wouldn’t that be lost and found?
Will there still be stars in my crown?
chorus

The Cage

The Cage
Lost my way in the garden
Been lost a long, long time
Just took one sin to cage us
Now it's time to make it right
Now it's time to make it right
I know you may not remember
Loss reprograms the mind
But there are moments when you feel somehow
You were meant to be wild
We were meant to be wild
chorus:
Sleepless night of thunder
The storm exposes the lie
What I never saw before
Suddenly comes to light
Suddenly comes to light
The cage is all I’ve ever known
I’d be the first to defend
“Better off staying locked inside
Than to feel our way again”
Learn to feel our way again
chorus
instrumental
Sister come and be with me
Find the keys, open the gates
Some will run and some will stay
As long as we see the cage
As long as we see the cage, see the cage

Protector

Protector
“She’d never do anything to hurt me”
A perfect match, we started early
Noble was the dress that fit me
So I wore it
To feel worthy of your love
Summer thundershowers break through
I’m stepping down from my statue
So tangled up with you
Lost track of me
Gonna set the sky on fire
chorus:
I’m not your guardian, shielding you from hurt
Even if somehow I can feel you first
Don’t know if its power or a curse
But I won’t protect you anymore
Not gonna protect you anymore
How do I let you down easy?
So you don’t cancel me from memory
Unravel tapestries
That were woven
Pirates stealing through the night
chorus

Jealousy

Jealousy
We walked through rose gardens
You took my hand, I became your darlin'
A love so fierce not even... thorns
Through our skin could pierce in
but the rain must fall
chorus:
I wanted you undivided
Two falcons flying high
It’s a bitter fight
The burden of my pride is drowning me, in jealousy
We looked out west dreaming
I took the steps for a new beginning
But the past is heavy... and
You are bound by duty
your wings are tied
chorus
bridge:
A battle I can’t win watching the sky
Find the grace to meet you eye to eye
chorus

Love Chooses You

Love Chooses You
You can’t walk away from the one, husband, father of your sons
Don’t turn your back against the waves crashing, warning danger breaks
It’s a risk you can’t take, there’s just too much at stake
chorus:
I don’t love him anymore, I’m out the door
The flames that burned, will not be restored
You can call me a fool, at least I told the truth
Cause anyone who’s really lived will tell you
Love chooses you
Love chooses you
Words fall short to soothe the pain, tears are shed, guilt and shame
It’s never fair, but you ask why, silence falls, only time
The rules never change, if only this was a game
chorus
The sparrow sings, I’ve tried everything, to override my fluttering wings
The raven cries, the black of the night, I tried and tried to block out the light
chorus

Songbird

Songbird
We were sitting at the table, and the sun was shining down
On your icy blue eyes and copper skin
We spoke about the things that have meaning in our lives
But the words were just proxy for our sin
Desire emerges from some deep forgotten place
Like a songbird that’s been caged and locked away
chorus:
Songbird now you are free
To look upon the world through your own eyes
Songbird come and ride the wind and sea
Songbird won’t you sing for me
Oh oh oh oh ----
I am but a witness to her innocent return
Your gaze has lured her up from the deep
In the heat that forms between us, only then she’ll sing
Glory like the sun rising at dawn
So beautiful her voice, we are breathless, we are stunned
In this holy place we’re even safe from death
chorus

Nature Girl

Nature Girl
Sitting pretty at the table, trying to say the right thing
‘Where’d you get that dress?’ and ‘What about that nice ring?’
In this game, I’m hanging on by a thread
Not much of one to talk if I don’t have much to say
Not that it would matter if I did anyway
Walkin’ on eggshells, I don’t wanna make a mistake
But I know places nobody knows, so why don’t we go
Where the ferns grow high, no one round for miles
Cause I’ve heard all these stories before
I want something more, let’s go explore the tides
chorus: Guess I’m not a very good faker, yeah I’d rather be talkin’ with strangers
I’m a girl who’s happy in nature, bein’ free, bein’ me
If you’re lucky you’ll see how to make a butterfly from chrysalis paper
I’m a girl who’s happy in nature, bein’ free…
Getting bored at this party, don’t know how long I’ll stay
But maybe we can dance if the band starts to play
When talk is small yeah that’s when I gotta move
Smile take a picture, go post it on your page
Don’t matter if its real cause all the world’s a stage
Get a million views, then you really raise your game
But what if things aren’t like they appear, you know smoke and mirrors,
Would you jump the gun, hop this fence and run?
Climb a mountain, swim in the sea, walk under trees, together under the sun
chorus
bridge: // We can take the long way back, watch the sun go down
All the colors fade to black, moonlight hits the ground // x2
chorus x2

Queen of the Sun

Queen of the Sun
Taking my power, and all of my love
Pull out these arrows where I’ve been judged
Light up a fire and burn every one
Shine from inside
Queen of the sun
Come and bear witness to streets that I paved
See who I fight for and who I betrayed
Raise up a tempest to fill up my lungs
Shine from the inside
Queen of the sun
Now tell me how you gonna purify
The poison running through your veins
Cause a victim never reigns
Defense is the only, crime that I bear
Ricochet bullets throw wind in my hair
Unleash a deluge and drown every one
Shine from the inside
Queen of the sun
These stories keepin’ us divided
Casting shadows upon the ground
But I’m a’ make a joyful sound!
Im taking my power, and all of my love
Pull out these arrows where I’ve been judged
Light up a fire, burn every one
Shine from inside
Queen of the sun
Shine from inside
Queen of the sun
Ooh ooh ooh ...
