Always On My Mind (free) 03:34
Something is coming on my horizon; its coming home, and I will wait for it. I will wait. And I would have waited for you if you had asked me to. Even when you broke my spirit to avoid the truth. To avoid that... You are always on my mind, you're always on my mind; even in the good times. And I would have waited for you if you had asked me to. Even when you're making no sense at all. You are always on my mind, you're always on my mind; even in the good times.

given a chance you would take a roll and go with all your heart given a reason my mind would click itself on out but am I what you want am I what you want give me just one can you give me just one and I will do what I can to make amends can you give me just one give me just one given a shot you would be the perfect mother I am sure but given the circumstance and the five-year forecast one of us is gonna put it to the test but am I what you want am I what you want give me just one can you give me just one and I will do what I can to make amends can you give me just one give me just one reason

there you go again blaming your circumstance on some random happenstance when are you gonna figure out the world doesn't work this way the world doesn't work for pay and you're not rich anyway and you are not the sort to get lower than before but now you've lost control and it ways on your head and shoulders down when there's no hand to reach for no happy go luck when you're out-manned and detoured can you pick yourself up when there's no hand to reach for can you see yourself through this hell through this hell there you go again letting your hope run free letting yourself begin to believe when are you gonna figure out the world doesn't want to play your games the world doesn't' care that you've changed the world just knows you by your name and you are not the sort to get lower than before but now you've lost control and it ways on your head and shoulders down when there's no hand to reach for no happy go luck when you're out-manned and detoured can you pick yourself up when there's no hand to reach for can you see yourself through this hell through this hell oh, you know its such a joke to think you get control of the way your man behaves on his own its just out of your hands and you are not the sort to get lower than before but now you've lost control and it ways on your head and shoulders down when there's no hand to reach for no happy go luck when you're out-manned and detoured can you pick yourself up when there's no hand to reach for can you see yourself through this hell through this hell

pretty baby don't you cry its only in your mind these things they occupy the space and time between the people that we are and who we want to be from the start I'll give it up and more life like a river always changing bit by bit a truth is opened to my eyes as if it was my first sight as if I've lived my whole life blind as if it was a lie I'll give it up and more life like a river always changing pretty baby don't you cry its only in your mind these things they occupy the space and time between the people that we are and who we want to be from the start I'll give it up and more life like a river always changing

Sure As Hell 03:57
sure as hell there are days when I don't want you there are days when I can't see past our differences to see the separation is only finger's width but in your eyes I am working on this I see those lines connecting me to you holding true they say I need you I read those words and they speak the truth they say I love you I love you sure as hell there are days when I can't make sense of older days and what those words meant can't seem to put myself in past tense but in your eyes I am working on this I see those lines connecting me to you holding true they say I need you I read those words and they speak the truth they say I love you I love you oh my god, its ecstasy you're just lying next to me you barely need to speak at all you brake me down so easily let me see simplicity in even my greatest faults I see those lines connecting me to you holding true they say I need you I read those words and they speak the truth they say I love you I love you

your home was broken into to house a thieve and the systems they failed you gave you no release so with a knife in your hands you put that thieve to sleep and the flashing lights fill your eyes and spot lights wash the room there will be no getting out of this they've got all of your exits was it ever your plan? when the object of you love was taken your love it turned to hating the one who did the taking of it all you're here to settle the score tnd stepping onto the balcony stained red with blood and rifle-beams you screamed, you screamed you can't take nothing from me the night was broke with the crack of them guns the muzzles flash and he was gone but they couldn't take him from me you can't take nothing from me and the story told by old men will go there was a man who lived his life for nothing at all unless we recall

about

Caleb Slade Denver, Colorado

Rich melodies, lush orchestration, and soulful lyrics are the backbone of Caleb Slade's debut release, Victory In Defeat, "...in which he takes a wide-screen approach to post-Brit pop, the kind made famous by Radiohead and U2 and their numerous antecedents. Lyrically, he manages to be earnest, literate and reflective without getting mired in treacly digressions." (Dave Herrera, The Westword) ... more
