~eric Great debut EP! Difficult choosing between TAKE A STEP & REBEL HEART as my favorite track. REBEL HEART's ambience & tones are fantastic, but TAKE A STEP won me over with the guitar lines. Favorite track: Take A Step.

Take A Step 03:20
I am an unturned page I lock myself in an unlocked cage I wanted out but I know you're coming I wanted out but I know you're coming for me I breathe in, close my eyes Take a step, into the dark of night I only wanted to resist you To show myself I had a better way all along I gotta run cuz I know you're coming I gotta run cuz I know you're coming for me I breathe in, close my eyes Take a step, into the dark of night I gotta run or you'll find me I breathe out, open my eyes Take a step, into the light

The Morning 04:32
How do we see ourselves Just dusty skin aging on boney shelves? Are we just a dash in time? To wrestle with the reaper at the end of our line I want to live to see the morning Breaking in over the clouds Holding the hands of my Father Knowing I've done Him proud Is this how I live my life? Huddled in the shadows holding light? Cuz I know my wretched ways My love tends to wander, my mouth's an open grave I want to live to see the morning Breaking in over the clouds Holding the hands of my Father Knowing I've done Him proud I'm a runner, I'm a liar, I'm a fraud I wear forgiveness like a fashion forgive me God I'm a sinner, I'm a saint depending on how I feel that day I want to live to see the morning Breaking in over the clouds Holding the hands of my Father Knowing I've done Him proud

I got some questions I could ask Or replay moments from my past I'm just trying to work it out Have some faith without a doubt Oh God are you there? listen up I messed up again I got a point I could convey Or sing some songs I wrote or count all of my souls you saved Or I could speak the truth Sometimes I thought I never needed you Oh God are you there? put on a show and let me know That I'm simply out of my head Cuz I can't help but second guess everything I've ever known I know I believe, help my unbelief I'm in full retreat, I can't stop my feet from turning the other way So I'll start by turning around today

Dancers 04:24
I can not understand a word you say It's only cuz I plugged my ears and turned the other way I was far too bust throwing stones To notice all the planks my eyes ignored all on their own Cuz we are searching for some light We're lost and we are blind Fumbling for answers to who we are We're walking over truth We turn our backs on You Stumbling like a dancer in the dark God we are so slow to judge ourselves We all are hiding skeletons upon the tallest shelves Grace oh grace come quickly to us all We follow our deceitful hearts our pride can't take a fall Cuz we are searching for some light We're lost and we are blind Fumbling for answers to who we are We're walking over truth We turn our backs on You Stumbling like a dancer in the dark But you believe that we have worth You brought us out from dust and dirt And gave us each a name Now we are looking to your light We're lost and we are blind Rising like a fire from a spark We're leaning on your truth We trust in only You When we stumble like dancers in the dark

Rebel Heart 04:33
When I was younger once Had a rebel heart in my chest It beat with defiance Had to hide it and act my best One day I'll be like any other One day this will just be a phase I would fall in line with my brother But somehow I knew things wouldn't change I was a preacher's son Had the good Lord in my soul Knew my right from wrong But kept my faith in a foxhole One day I'll be like any other One day this will just be a phase I would fall in line with my brother But somehow I knew things wouldn't change
