Quiet Fire 04:03
I don't wanna have a good time I don't wanna have to smile I just wanna have a time or two to be alone with You and Maybe talk it through for a little while We used to fit so perfect We used to burn so Bright But you're dying down inside and I know just why These hearts, apart, just can't survive Some say I'm crazy Some say I just haven't learned I think I'm just too Numb to Feel the Burn... But as Long as I've still got some Fight As Long as there's a Light in your Eyes As Long as you Amaze me like the Fourth of July I'm Never gonna stop 'til I Die If we could bring it all Back to Life No Matter How Cold you might be Because there's a Quiet Fire in me I see you Time to Time now Yeah you say you're doing alright You're still trying to justify this brand new Life And I know it's Cold but you still won't Come Inside Well I can give you Shelter Yeah and I can Hold you Tight And with your glowing Embers I can Make you Remember How we kept each other Alive Well, Some say I'm crazy Some say I just haven't Learned I think I'm just too Numb to Feel the Burn... But as Long as I've still got some Fight As Long as there's a Light in your Eyes As Long as you Amaze me like the Fourth of July I'm Never gonna stop 'til I Die If we could bring it all Back to Life No Matter How Cold you might be Because there's a Quiet Fire in me Yeah There's a Quiet Fire in Me Well I Know you're Cold And I Feel your Fire Die But You were my Home And My Hope still Burns So Come Inside Won't you Come inside... But as Long as I've still got some Fight As Long as there's a Light in your Eyes As Long as you Amaze me like the Fourth of July I'm Never gonna stop 'til I Die If we could bring it all Back to Life No Matter How Cold you might be Because there's a Quiet Fire in me 'Cause I've still got some Fight I Can See a Light in your Eyes You Can still Amaze me like the Fourth of July I'm Never gonna stop 'til I Die We could bring it all Back to Life No Matter How Cold you might be Because there's a Quiet Fire in me

Sunshine you would shine brightly To my room you would come over nightly You were mine and so Rightly But just then I was only dreaming You said Love was so blinding Sometimes the road just gets so Far away, well I'm here to say: Sunshine, wishful eyes Promise me We'll still have time I can see how your thoughts might Bleed through the lines... Maybe I'm just Being Myself Maybe I'm just Being Myself Well I've got Time to change your mind But I don't wanna see the Sun come rising up If I'm fooling myself Sunshine you would tread lightly Real words got you Locked up tightly Spill it out, make it alright We can take 'til the Morning so you finally see that Always, in Here you'll Stay Sunshine, wishful eyes Promise me We'll still have time I can see how your thoughts might Bleed through the lines... Maybe I'm just Being Myself Maybe I'm just Being Myself Well I've got Time to change your mind But I don't wanna see the Sun come rising up If I'm fooling myself And if you Feel we're losing each other, My Dear Scared of the future and forthcoming years, well At least you'll know that I'll be Near if you want me... And if you Need some Time to be on your own I Hope that you find it, I Hope that you grow I'll Hold back, leave you all alone if you want me... Oh if you want me... So Sunshine, wishful eyes Promise me We'll still have time I can see how your thoughts might Bleed through the lines... Oh Sunshine, Love of mine What we have is Real this Time Take a step, believe in me because Your mind's not clear but your Heart's not Changing Well I've got Time to change your mind But I don't wanna see the Sun come rising up If I'm fooling myself (So Baby come on) Maybe I'm just Being Myself Maybe I'm just Being Myself Oh Maybe I'm just Being Myself

Five Years Could have Brought me to Tears If we were Young together I'd be Happy Forever And Through the Thin and the Thickest of Everything By my Side, You and I, Get through Anything But One day I called out to you No one there to Take my Hand I'm Afraid what I'm Turning into Is a different Kind of Man 'Cause I don't Wanna be Mean I Don't Wanna be a Cynic I don't Want an Empty Smile 'Cause I ran out of Feeling I don't Wanna resent you 'Cause I know that i Will If I'm Staring Down a Barrel 15 Years From Now... Yeah 15 Years From Now Once or Twice you had Sacrificed All the plans that you made, Let me Into your Life Now You're the One that I can't live Without and I'd Swallow my Pride, give you Everything without a Doubt But One day I called out to you No one there to Take my Hand I'm Afraid what I'm Turning into Is a different Kind of Man 'Cause I don't Wanna be Mean I Don't Wanna be a Cynic I don't Want an Empty Smile 'Cause I ran out of Feeling I don't Wanna resent you 'Cause I know that i Will If I'm Staring Down a Barrel 15 Years From Now... Yeah 15 Years From Now AND IT'S A LONG ROAD TO WHERE I BELONG IT'S A LONG ROAD TO WHERE YOU ARE I'm Alright I'm Okay No I'm Not, I've just Run out of Words to Say Here I Am Flesh and Tears Just a Boy, Who realized his Greatest Fear was Losing the One that He Held so Dear She was There in my Hands but it Slipped through my Fingers In 15 years my Head will be Clear So Take this From my Hands now Baby... 'Cause I don't Wanna be Mean I Don't Wanna be a Cynic I don't Want an Empty Smile 'Cause I ran out of Feeling I don't Wanna resent you 'Cause I know that i Will If I'm Staring Down a Barrel 15 Years From Now... Yeah 15 Years From Now

From the Start I Envisioned The Two of Us Up 'til the End The Life we Shared Envied by Everyone When Times were Tough Our Skin got Tougher Through it All we had Each Other And I Had to Believe You were the One A Fool Am I to think that we could Feel this way for Life If This is What I See when I Close my Eyes? Because I Have a Breath in my Body In My Chest I can Still Feel a Heartbeat If I put all these Miles away Under my Feet Could I Stand up and Run to you There's a Pain in this Longing Far Away I can still Hear you Calling And Even though you don't Realize yourself just Yet, One Day We'll Meet Again I go Back Most Every Night To Understand or Make it Right Something I don't See Behind Those Eyes And In my Head I hear your Voice Calling out I Have no Choice Believe Darling, I Can give you One A Fool Am I to think that we could Feel this way for Life If This is What I See when I Close my Eyes? Because I Have a Breath in my Body In My Chest I can Still Feel a Heartbeat If I put all these Miles away Under my Feet Could I Stand up and Run to you There's a Pain in this Longing Far Away I can still Hear you Calling And Even though you don't Realize yourself just Yet, One Day We'll Meet Again And I Can Still Feel you There Speaking into the Air Wondering How I'm doing Now Now that I'm All Alone Do you still think of me Hoping that we Could be How we were then, Ever again Darling I'll Make it So A Fool Am I to think that we could Feel this way for Life If This is What I See when I Close my Eyes? Because I Have a Breath in my Body In My Chest I can Still Feel a Heartbeat If I put all these Miles away Under my Feet Could I Stand up and Run to you There's a Pain in this Longing Far Away I can still Hear you Calling And Even though you don't Realize yourself just Yet, One Day We'll Meet Again

about

Quiet Fire is the culmination of my past year of songwriting and producing - we started this album in January 2011 and here we are one year later releasing it in January 2012.


I hope these songs provide some sort of crutch for those learning to cope with confusion, disappointment, heartbreak, or any other affliction that music might heal. Donations are always appreciated, but the album is otherwise free to download. Thanks for Listening
