Long Distance Run Holly McGarry and Chris Bloniarz Go to hell That’s what I wish I could say But I bite my lip And I turn my head to look the other way It’s a moonless sky It’s an endless fall To go on this way Where the worries fly And the doubt grows tall And all our dreams are made to pay [CHORUS] Don’t worry, don’t worry Everything’ll be fine It’ll all make sense Further down the line We’re taking a hit But we’ll get it on the next one We’re taking it back It’s a long distance run And I’m running, I’m running When you’re scared to fail That’s all you can taste when you breathe But an empty heart And a scattered soul Are much harder to grieve It’s an uphill climb It’s a forward crawl To go search for this thing In the mirror of time Where your memories brawl Will you like what you see? [CHORUS] [BRIDGE] Out of patience with these feelings Ones of gracious new beginnings Ones of doubt and indecision [CHORUS]

Fate's Hands 03:20
Fate’s Hands Holly McGarry You were a passenger in a stolen car You trust somebody then they take it all too far And there’s nothing too surprising about what you did There’s nothing too surprising about any of this How does it feel to be caught in a cage? So many nights I thought I’d die of rage And there’s nothing too surprising about what I did There’s nothing too surprising about any of this [CHORUS] You don’t know what lives inside you ‘Til you’ve reached the bottom of the well You could see me and not know That I’m in hell When they came for me well I got up and ran Was it me who drove the knife through fate’s hands? Well there’s nothing too surprising about why I did There’s nothing too surprising about any of this And that night you walked out in the snow Quiet peace you hoped you’d die out in the cold Well there’s nothing too surprising about why you did There’s nothing too surprising about any of this [CHORUS]

Great Divide 04:09
Great Divide Holly McGarry Here’s my advice Stop thinking it over start carrying through There’s more to life Than taxes paid and taxes due When you cross that great divide what will be true? Sometimes you’ll win but it’s more often that you’ll lose The pain you feel You think that no one else can see A victim of the world's loneliest disease When you cross that great divide what will be true? Sometimes the hero and the villain is you too [CHORUS] Who needs divinity If it’s unforgiving All we do is make mistakes All that we love will pass away So what more can they really take? Some thoughts they ring Bright and clear just like a bell Sometimes they lead The general direction of hell When you cross that great divide what will be true? Dreams speak to you but they don’t always tell the truth I don’t believe Time will take my hurt way I’ll mold it like Puzzle pieces made of clay When you cross that great divide what will be true? Sometimes the sculptor and the subject is you too [CHORUS]

Cycles 03:33
Cycles Chris Bloniarz Upstairs the candle burns The record turns another time around With every passing cycle The flame comes close to going out Look around I know you’re watching Settle down there’s no use running [CHORUS] Burn another listen close Everything is just a joke Then why is no one laughing? You take the stereo And use it as a way to speak your mind But I can’t hear anything I’m tired of solving riddles in the rhymes Criticize all that is moving Little lies will be your undoing [CHORUS] Off the deep end how does this end? The record turns another time around
5.
Untouchable 03:54
Untouchable Holly McGarry Don’t make me a stranger yet I never got what was so Unloveable about me Pack of smokes rolled up your sleeve You always tried so hard to be untouchable But tell me aren’t you lonely yet You’ll come to find the sweetest hours You mistook for growing pains [CHORUS] Some people build a wall and think that they’re free I never knew how hard a heart could be You made a home and threw away the key You made a choice to live without me Why is it so hard to find What you want When it’s been in front of you the whole time You only want it once it’s gone I’ve seen it come and go Like this for too long Life is forgiveness life is for moving on You could have had so much Given to you with open arms [CHORUS]
6.
Two Stone Birds Holly McGarry Two stone birds and a jewelry box Are all that’s left of a legacy Of someone I’ve never met But their memories live inside me In my bones And I’ll try to carry but it gets so heavy Yeah it gets so heavy [CHORUS] Who’s to say, am I livin’ the right way Am I livin’ the right way? Never met them but their memories live inside me Live inside my bones Two stone birds through a crowded airport People staring asking questions But they forget All the people they are carrying themselves And they’ll try to carry but it gets so heavy Yeah it gets so heavy [CHORUS] [BRIDGE] Who’s behind your hazel eyes, Your crooked nose, your gentle smile? And who can guess what’s in the past That made you who you are? [CHORUS]
7.
Darkness Knows Holly McGarry Play it back for me One more time I just want to see your smile I should’ve cut you out I should’ve told you off Instead of everything [CHORUS] When I’m gone I don’t want you to call I just want you to know that you’re on my mind You were never all that good for me But darkness knows how to hide in plain sight You had this quality A handsome pathology I fell for every time Social experiment Never heaven sent We weren't even friends [CHORUS] [BRIDGE] You were bored and I was susceptible A lonely girl’s heart is fairly predictable All those things that you said but you never meant When did I just become an embarrassment You were Romeo And I a troubadour Torn apart by shame But even after all The pain and vitriol I think of you every day [CHORUS]
8.
Little Less Alone Holly McGarry There is no love wasted We are all a part of what we are And all that we have lost Why do you look so sad And why do I love it when It makes me feel a little less alone? [CHORUS] When you falter don’t leave a note walk through my door What’s in the way, the way? The way forward just tends to lead back down again What’s in the way, the way? All of my goddamn friends Think I’m so defenseless and That silence doesn’t mean a thing at all But I am a quiet force It’s the will that means the most If you would like to talk to me about strength [CHORUS] Torn loose and my heart runs blindly Down an indifferent highway I know you and you know you’re not the one I could fall for a distant skyline I don’t much like cutting ties Even if it makes me more alone [CHORUS]
9.
Evergreen 03:41
Evergreen Holly McGarry and Chris Bloniarz Evergreen There is no song big enough for grief I would’ve turned over every stone and leaf The moon was impossibly bright The night we had to leave Evergreen As far as I run I just can’t seem to shake it off The delicate wings of that luna moth Piles of shit on the table Papers and cloth Could running around with bare feet on dry pine needles Be the catalyst for the good and bad in people? Twisted up like the corners Of my mouth Evergreen When they cut down the trees behind our old house I tried to picture them how they stood tall and proud Silent witnesses now Torn to the ground And how many rings were my family a part of? Being hauled down the hill and into the saw mill Splintered apart or burned up Turned into ash Evergreen

Time 04:01
Time Holly McGarry How could I ever express to you How I felt as you walked across my yard that night And how could I ever explain to you how much you meant And just how much you have taken I’ll count it out upon my fingertips I trusted you, but you let me slip [CHORUS] Time, time is cruel Time is unkind to folks like me and you Oh time, time is cruel Time is unkind to fools like me and you Nights I lay in my awakening Or so I thought, maybe a game you were playing With other’s thoughts running through my head I was taking form, but what I needed was a friend Oh how I played straight into your hands A coward then in the shape of a man [CHORUS] [BRIDGE] Goodnight my dear you must believe it The past is the past, that’s where we’ll leave it When memories wander back dreamily I play them back but I wish I was mistaken Oh I remember me stepping back From a life that wasn’t mine for the taking [CHORUS]
