lyrics

Stealin the lampposts on the road
to a place that you never ever thought you'd go
Hopin to find someone else who knows
the worth of somethin stolen, is it just as good as gold?
Feelin entitled on this path you sow
to reap what you've been given as a guide through the unknown
when suddenly you find out that what you hold
ain't worth a dime or gemstone with no light from which to grow

Well you bargain for my heart and you're takin away my soul
Why not my mind and body too for just a few dollars more

So many reaches with so far to grow
Well you thought it'd be so easy to ignore this heavy load
and try to convince yourself that you know
it's only temporary, so a tighter grip you hold
When all you need is to let it all go
and feel the weight that's lifted just leave you to your own
sense that you finally have now restored
and will take you beyond mountains where the eagles like to soar

Well you bargain for my heart and you're takin away my soul
Why not my mind and body too for just a few dollars more

B.R. Lively Austin, Texas

As you dance in the dark
of a forever tomorrow
You may never want
to see the sun again

As you weep with tears
of a forever sorrow
You may wish the sun
had never risen

But if you stand in the still
beating heart of a storm
with eyes wide open
You will see a forever peace
and know this star
could never cease
its shining ... more
