1.	Us As I 01:45	lyrics	buy track
Us As I Now we go through darkness Through the veils of death Then clearly us as I We as you What I know is worth more than what I’ve been taught What I’ve grown is worth more than what I’ve bought Then clearly us as I We as you ©2013 The Soldier Story
2.	A Lion 04:14	lyrics	buy track
A Lion A lion is in your house Waiting for daylight And now it sees you find Your shoes on the floor It starts moving through the rooms Above and below If you knew it was there You think it might end your life But all the while it’s just there To protect you The truth is in the walls That separate us And sometimes in the moments We try so hard to avoid Take your shoes and lie them down The lion is here when you come and halt me by the soul the waves subside, you’re in control If you knew it was there You think it might end your life But all the while it’s just there To protect you ©2013 The Soldier Story
3.	When the Thieves Came 05:13	lyrics	buy track
When the Thieves Came Form it out of gold Form it out of iron Call it what you will Call it your desire Name it like you want Call it independence Love doesn’t look like this When the thieves came, what did they take? All of your belongings can be replaced They came to my house too But I killed them at the door Form it out of gold Form it out of iron Call it what you will Call it your desire Name it like you want Call it independence Love doesn’t look like this When your love is weak, do your vows then break? Contracts of paper to be replaced The common words I do Are breaking down in war Form it out of gold Form it out of iron Call it what you will Call it your desire Name it like you want Call it independence Form it out of gold Form it out of iron

Oh the Dove Oh Grace Came to me In the grass Moving leaves Oh the Dove Came to me From the trees Making leaves ©2013 The Soldier Story
5.	Some Think 04:03	lyrics	buy track
Some Think It started in the nights when we were young Mast Road to the place we called home Then the morning we talked everything had changed Your eyes were blank; you couldn’t stay Some think it’s all planned out Some think we’ll make it up as we go I don’t know the equations But I think you were better off before Packed your bags and checked out for good No mistakes and nothing to undo The rest of us in your eyes left for dead But in your eyes an emptiness so sad Some think it’s all planned out Some think we’ll make it up as we go I don’t know the equations But I think you were better off before Some think they’ve got it figured out But it’s just so complicated ©2013 The Soldier Story
6.	Rooms of the Indoors 04:30	lyrics	buy track
Rooms of the Indoors Deadbolts for doors with no way out Their hope in a cell called home Oh to live a life free from this But now there is no return Still he thinks... Couldn’t we, couldn’t we be happy again? Couldn’t we, couldn’t we just forget the past? Her feet dancing the wood floors The rooms of the indoors Resounding in joy Where once, the rooms filled with violence Now the sweetness of silence What a beautiful sound Couldn’t we, couldn’t we be happy again? Couldn’t we, couldn’t we just forget the past? Couldn’t we, couldn’t we be free? Couldn’t we? Her feet dancing the wood floors The rooms of the indoors Resounding in joy Where once, the rooms filled with violence Now the sweetness of silence What a beautiful sound Her feet dancing the wood floors The rooms of the indoors Resounding in joy Where once, the rooms filled with violence Now the sweetness of silence What a beautiful sound ©2013 The Soldier Story
7.	Through the Trees 01:59	lyrics	buy track
Through the Trees Through the trees there’s a light If you hold your sight In the valleys, no sound Only on the mountain tops No sound, no sight here We’ll climb until we see clearer Carbon air Rust water The world up for slaughter Oh no, oh no ©2013 The Soldier Story
8.	Gray Clean Suit 03:39	lyrics	buy track
Gray Clean Suit With a gray clean suit, the devil on his back The man who came to save you betrays you, enslaves you But it’s your occupation by day and by moonlight Your body pays the rent whether wrong or right Still the love of God reaches Where the love of mankind ends Her body on a bed in a dark motel His kids at home in the yard, it all seems well Running through the grass, playing in the sand His wife at the stove, full glass in her hand Still the love of God reaches Where the love of mankind ends ©2013 The Soldier Story
9.	Sharks & Ghosts 04:20	lyrics	buy track
Sharks & Ghosts Someday you could live In a small room with Sharks and ghosts and not be scared Someday soon You can’t find hope now With the walls you build around your fragile heart You can’t find hope now Don’t let despair become doubt You built a cage around you thinking it was safe Only to lock in fears and lye with your mistakes Someday you could live In a small room with Tornadoes and volcanoes Someday soon You can’t find hope now With the walls you build around your fragile heart You can’t find hope now Don’t let despair become doubt You built a cage around you thinking it was safe Only to lock in fears and lye with your mistakes ©2013 The Soldier Story
10.	The Leaves That Fall First 02:30	lyrics	buy track
The Leaves That Fall First Autumn comes at last Sometimes the leaves that fall first are some of the brightest Let’s hope for the best Home is a long way off but it comes so fast When they laid you to rest Your heart was golden and full of love to give ©2013 The Soldier Story
