The Clearing

Well this ain't nothing, I've been here before
Been stripped down, broken and bare on the floor
I swear, I swear, this time I'll change
Keep thinking things will be different
but they look the same
I gotta get outta my head and into the clearing
I'm placing my bet, it's on the sunrise
I'm learning to trust the voice I am hearing
I could be right, I could be wrong
Hell if I know but
I cannot change here I gotta go
Into the clearing
Am I brave enough to put it all on the line
Really sink in my teeth not turn on a dime
I thank God for what I got but I want so much more
And though I slip up and trip up I must stay the course
And get outta my head and into the clearing
I'm placing my bet, it's on the sunrise
I'm learning to trust the voice I am hearing
I could be right I could be wrong
Hell if I know but
I cannot change here I gotta go
And sing my soul right
Let it hollow me out
Courage don't fail me now
I gotta get outta my head and into the clearing
I'm placing my bet, it's on the sunrise
I'm learning to trust the voice I am hearing
I could be right I could be wrong
Hell if I know but
I cannot change here I gotta go
Outta my head and into the clearing
I'm placing my bet, it's on the sunrise
I'm learning to trust the voice I am hearing
I could be right I could be wrong
Hell if I know but
I'll suffocate here I gotta go
Into the clearing
Into the clearing

Poison in the Water
03:18

Dry as a bone
Baby we're a desert with no road to lead us home
I've held my tongue
Thinking it'd be better to leave well enough alone
Now here we are
Wading in the madness of all the toxic baggage
Come on, it's enough
There's Poison in the Water
Still, I can't quench my thirst
I let myself drink down, drink down slowly
Even though it hurts
You keep drifting farther
Listen as I sing these words
I know loving you might kill me, kill me slowly
Holding on gets harder when there's poison in the water
Don't wake the beast (shhh)
Put the demons that you wrestle back to sleep
Oh, my heavy heart
Tiptoeing around you leaves me weak
I pray for peace
There's Poison in the Water
Still, I can't quench my thirst
I let myself drink down, drink down slowly
Even though it hurts
You keep drifting farther
Listen as I sing these words
I know loving you might kill me, kill me slowly
Holding on gets harder...
And I keep trying to fix it
Keep giving you more grace
Will you ever say you're sorry, to my face?
There's Poison in the Water
Still, I can't quench my thirst
I let myself drink down, drink down slowly
Even though it hurts
You keep drifting farther
Listen as I sing these words
I know loving you might kill me, kill me slowly
Holding on gets harder when there's poison in the water
Mmmm, there's poison in the water
Hmmm mmmm mmmm

Wreck My Ship

I don't know all the right things to say
I don't know how I let you slip away
And if I'm telling the truth
All my roads lead back to you
All my roads lead back to you
If you're on the rocks
And the waters are churning
Keep a look out for rescue
'Cause the tides are turning
I'll be out on the ocean
With a love to sustain you
And I would wreck my ship to save you
Looking back on who I've loved and who I've lost
Your fragile eyes are the first I come across
So I'm reaching out now
Can you forgive me for all that I put you through?
Forgive me for all that I put you through
If you're on the rocks
And the waters are churning
Keep a look out for rescue
'Cause the tides are turning
I'll be out on the ocean
With a love to sustain you
And I would wreck my ship to save you
Yeah, I would wreck my ship to save you
If I could take it all back
I'd wear my heart out on my sleeve
Tell me what it will take to make you believe
So, if you're on the rocks
And the waters are churning
Keep a look out for rescue
'Cause the tides are turning
I'll be out on the ocean
With a love to sustain you
And I would wreck my ship to save you
Yeah, I would wreck my ship to save you
Oh oh I would wreck my ship to save you
I would wreck my ship to save you

Champion

Girl get up and put it on
Be who I need to be to get it done
Dress it up, steady on
I'm so tired
I'm adding up all the years
I wasted telling you what you want to hear
I let you tell me who I am
I didn't fight it
The time has come to reconcile
That I may not reach the mountain top
Will the journey be enough?
How long do I keep climbing
And why is the prize so hard to find
Life's all about the timing
Keep goin' in for the win
'Cause I wanna feel like a champion
Do we grow up or just get older
I keep looking over my shoulder
Father time is chasing me
I can't see to get where I wanna be
I'm no super hero but I assume the position
And repeat my affirmations
Handle my situation
But how long do I keep climbing
And why is the prize so hard to find
Life's all about the timing
Keep goin' in for the win
'Cause I wanna feel like a champion
Oh oh oh I'm just being honest
This is where I'm at
I feel the weight of the world on my back
I'm all out of answers
I've laid down my shield
This is all of me revealed
How long do I keep climbing
And why is the prize so hard to find
Life's all about the timing
Keep goin' in for the win
'Cause I wanna be
I just wanna be a champion

Only Up From Here
03:30

It's just the story of my life truth be told
Running and racing caught up in the fold
Laying low and I just take it blow by blow
Scaling mountains of trouble so old
When my feet are in concrete and I start to drown
I surrender, let go as I sink deeper down
'Cause it's only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Darkness is my comfort the deeper I go
My mind plays the tricks
But my body, she knows
Give into panic, give life to my death
I cannot stay here so low, low, low
There's a crack in this concrete
Since I've hit the ground
I surrender let go
No, I will not drown
'Cause it's only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Fight or flight
In my sight
Reach for light
Fight or flight
In my sight
Reach for light
If treading water's what keeps me alive
I must break the surface to survive
'Cause it's only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only Up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only up from here, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
Only up from, my dear (Yip)
Only up from here (Hey)
