I know I'm super late to this party but this is really such a cozy album, feels like listening to two of your close friends put on an acoustic performance in your home.
Favorite track: Apathy At Its Best (I Got Soul).

A house is not a home when you're left all alone
I've got too much fight, but not enough plight
I'm runnin' all around , tryin' to hold my ground
Comin' up for air, tryin' to prove I'm not scared
A man should make his mark, not run from the dark
I've got too much bark, and not enough bite
Wastin' all my time, running through all the lines
I don't know how, but one day I'll find
I got soul
I see how things go down, they give you the run around
These unfortunate truths, fall to the ground
Which'll drown us first, the debt or the pride?
Apathy at its best, how long can we hide?
You've captured my mind
But not my heart
Don't call me unkind
I'm just doing my part
You have my head
I've still got heart
By my count
That sets me apart

Learning to Be

Oh she’s got a way with words
It’s like lightning and fire and everything in between
True feelings are seen not heard
An innate desire, far from routine
And if you ask me for truth
That’s why I’m singin’ this song, so just follow along
Life can bring the best of us down
Your destination means nothing if you cannot follow through
It’s the simple things that are hardest to learn
Whenever you’re feelin’ blue
I will carry the pain; bare that burden for you
‘Cause everything that you do
Is part of learning who you are
And I’m, learning to be
Now I’m, learning to be
And I’m, finding out
That I, I barely know me

In My Heart

I’ve got a little bluebird in my heart
That wants to sing, wants to get out
But I’m too tough for him
There are songs that I would sing
If my memory let me write them out
But I’m too tired for that
And buried deep inside
Of everyone I know
There is something that implies
That we are not alone
And this bird that’s in my heart
Wants to get out, would love to be heard
But I'm too clever for my own good
That bird cannot be free
Until the day that I accept
That we are not what we have been
In my pocket I keep these words,
Written and said by better men
In the hopes that when I’m feeling down
I will read them to myself and remember
What they mean to me

Chaos In Whispers

Two birds hang around the top of my tower
Whistling and flapping and flying away
Don’t try and tell me that I’m like the birds
'Cause I’m in a cage and I’ve got no wings
Darling I would change my name to be near you
We’ll side with love instead of contempt
Tell me oh enemy, would you set this bird free
And fly through the rain to the eye of the storm
When our bodies lay melting into one
I felt my shackles fall off
Love is a trust fall from a high balcony
Please say you’ll be there to catch me
Dawn awoke and the sun crashed around us
Sparkled and shone on the smooth of our skin
Chaos in whispers and passion in secret
Kept out of sight, but not out of mind
Sometimes I wonder, why you and me
Was it meant to be sweeter because of the strife
But all that I know is all that I feel
That I would give my world for you

Hidden Away

When the birds sing do they think of the notes and the progressions?
When a bell rings does it worry that its tone is too aggressive?
If for 100 heartbeats we could sing like the birds
Boasting and laughing and proud of our words
Oh the sound that could pour from my soul
If only I could let it go
When the waves crash in their chaos the disorder will not obey us
When the wind blows does it notice the voices below it?
If for 100 miles that wind could carry our song
Would our hearts go with it, singing along?
There's a rhythm that runs through our veins
Hidden away 'cause we're just too afraid
To show anyone what we're made of
That our courage will just end in shame

Reflection of the Stars

There was a boy
And like every story there was a girl too
Quite simply she said no
Where was he to go?
He said, “maybe if I do better,
Things will work out for me, advantageously”
Set off to gather an army
He hired the best mercenaries
Set off and set up camp
Set down laws and set around fires and stated his desires
Head east and conquer coast to coast
Leaving trails of fire and taking prisoner most
What he found
After conquering all around
Is that the grass is not greener
In any offset town
Then the stars came down
Saw the error of his ways
But much to his dismay
This nine year old boy had already taken over
Most of northern Europe
But with a chocolate factory constructed in every conquered town
He quickly established world peace

South of the Border

Well it's summer time and the goin's fine
Gonna head on south down the red line
Ridin' this train wherever it'll go
Gonna see if we can get ourselves down to Mexico
It’s been three long weeks hoppin’ trains
Followed the Mississippi round to New Orleans
Fishin’ for some supper haven’t eaten all day
Can’t buy a proper meal with nothin’ to pay
Hey hey, throw off your fears, be rid of your tears
Leave behind your pain as this train rolls on
Texas heat; New Mexico sky
Watching all them states as they fly by
It’s been a wild ride, I wouldn’t change a thing
Border’s comin’ up, c’mon let’s sing
Why, why, why?
Why are we here? It’s that same old question everywhere we go
Oh woah oh the only difference is we’re South of the Border
You can change where you go but it doesn’t change who you are

about
Soul is a collection of songs that we feel relate to the subject of the album. Heart warming and hopeful, we recorded these specific songs to help others find that despite the world being at times cold and heartless, we all still have soul.
