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
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

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
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

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]

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]

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]

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]

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
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]
