Can't Slow Down
w/m Bryan Stevenson
If Patience is a virtue
Then Impatience is vice
Illegal substances passed me by
and left my dose as twice
Think I'll curl up with a good book
and start it at the end
watch a movie in Fast Forward
to save the time I spend
Can't slow down
Living life at light-speed
Can't slow down
to find the rest I need
Can't slow down
Runnin' to succeed
I Can't slow down
Runnin' here and there
Burn the candle at both ends
then light it in the middle just for fun
and start again
Fueled by Kona coffee
and a touch of A.D.D.
I feel a bit of manic
building up inside of me
Can't slow down
Living life at light-speed
Can't slow down
to find the rest I need
Can't slow down
Runnin' to succeed
I Can't slow down

Everythings Gonna Be Alright
w/m Bryan Stevenson
I read the headlines,
See the news, wonder how
Anyone can make it
Without a woman like you and solemn vow
I ask myself what did I do,
To find a lover, find a friend
At the end of the day the chaos remains
but a smile from you and I pretend that
Everything’s gonna be alright
At least it will be when I close my eyes
And find peace in the dark at night
Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything’s gonna be alright
I know it will be when I close my eyes
And find you in the bed at night
Everything’s gonna be alright
The sun comes up slowly
Open my eyes it begins again
You and I can make a difference
Working together that’s what He said
Before we hit the ground running
I say a prayer we’re on our way
Gotta stay focused
Gotta believe throughout the day that
Everything’s gonna be alright
I know it will be when I realize that
He has already won the fight
Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything’s gonna be alright
So long as I have you by my side
And find you in the bed at night
Everything’s gonna be alright

Lady Luck
w/m Bryan Stevenson
it all started out - honest enough
a shameless grin and you missed my bluff
but hand full-of-nothin' will win everytime
when your with a woman who is one of a kind
don't be messin with lady luck
just when you think you got her licked
things run amuck
like a deer in the headlights of an oncoming truck
don't know what hit you
it might be lady luck
They say easy come - easy go
but why you were so persistent
I'll never know
I have to admit I'm not very shy
and I know I can't avoid you so I won't even try

Complete
w/m Bryan Stevenson
Firelight, fireflies
Me and my friends under the moonlit skies
Layin’ back counting the stars above
Dreaming my way into the arms of love
the Arms of Love
The autumn air, a lonely night
Can't shed the feeling that it'll never be right
She the perfect fit and needs to know
There will come a day - I'll never let her go
I’ll never let her go
Like a river finds the sea
Like a breath falls into me
She’s all I need to be complete
Can the ocean kiss the sand?
Will you ever understand?
You’re all I need to be complete
Where can I go to find you?
And are you waiting for me too?

Time
w/m Bryan Stevenson
From Sundial to Hourglass
Light above sand within
Grandfather in the corner
Or count the Atoms spin
Lost and never found again
Fantastic, elastic
Erratic at best
A Bandit, a Counselor
Hopeless to rest
Misused, abused, forgotten and then
Illusion and reality blend
Enemy of a bedside vigil
Or the family get-away
Crawling to sixteen
Running to the grave
Some squander, some invest, some save
Too slow for those who wait
Too fast for those who fear
Too long for those who grieve
Too short for those who cheer

Punchline
w/m Bryan Stevenson
I thought I knew you
Thought we answered all the questions
But you had funny way of hiding the truth
So, You were completely honest
Then shame on me for believing
I guess I deserve all of this for trusting you
Just before the laughter
Or the awkward moment after
Wishing I could return to
Waiting for the punch line
To each his own they say
I should learn to walk away
But realized to late now I’m still
waiting on the punch line
What was that you said?
You never meant for this to hurt?
Somehow that’s so hard to comprehend
I tried to give you what you needed
But that changed from day to day
I guess I should have learned how to pretend

Nothing Left to Say
w/m Bryan Stevenson
I’ve thought about pain
I’ve thought about lies
What happens when emptiness and promises collide?
You thought about…
you
And how it’s best to never see things through
Now the words have gone and silence remains
There’s nothing left to say
Will things ever change?
Will I know if they do?
I never imagined being hurt this bad by you
So, What happens now?
When it’s so obvious that Faith and Hope left town
And Conversation ran the other way
There’s nothing left to say
Without a doubt I know
There’s more to life than this
Before another moments gone
Please, walk away
I’d rather you not beg
Or waste another tear on me
Truth be told enclosed in the pain…
There’s nothing left to say,

Which is Broken
w/m Bryan Stevenson
I don’t think that you have ever felt this way
It would be easier if you just ignored what I’m gonna say
Because I can’t be perfect while I’m breathing in and out,
And I find fear and uncertainty when I’ve finally conquered doubt
sometimes I question my resolution
Then I wonder which is broken – me or my conviction?
I’ve heard it all before but I’m inclined to forget
And every time I turn around I’m sayin’ things I regret
Maybe I should try ashes or ripping off my clothes
But I’m not sure if I’m ready for what that will expose
It’s just a shame I get no points for diction
Still I wonder which is broken – me or my conviction.
Can I get passed being a walking contradiction?
I ask myself - which is broken? – me or my conviction.

Breathlessly
w/m Bryan Stevenson
What started as a love affair, is now a mystery
and where we go from here is where I want to be
set out to find the beauty of another day
greet the morning with a smile and we're on our way
the intrigue of this moment will eclipse the past
a brand new life a feeling unsurpassed
with dreams to dream and new worlds to explore
laughter and tears and so much more
You're so close, I can feel you breathe
listening to your heart beat
the wonder that is you leaves me with no words to say
Holding on breathlessly

Calling in favors
w/m Bryan Stevenson
It’s about time
It’s about me
You might think it selfish
But to avoid insanity
I’ll stop waiting
For a change and
And a long overdue, heartfelt apology
I’ve asked myself
How did I wind up here?
Now I’m calling in favors,
Gone are yesterday’s fair-weather friends
Without eyes open
It’s hard to see how this tragedy
Will end
You avoided
Conversations
That could somehow lead
To someone accepting blame
I’ve listened
And what you’ve spoken
All sounds like
A never-ending game
Now I’m calling in favors
Thanks to yesterday’s fair-weather friends
My eyes are wide open
And it’s clear to see how this tragedy
Will end
