A REASON TO GROW (Adam Watts) Hold me up I'm about to fall face first I confess I made them up All of the reasons I'm a mess I'm waking up into a dream Where the only thing that's real is love But it's not enough (Chorus) Give me light give me rain A dying seed's in me I need a reason to grow Somewhere to be where I'm needed I need a reason to be Better than what I am I'm not enough Breaking stuff I'm like a bull In the place where they keep All the fragile things they love I go a little bit mad Maybe they should lock me up But it's not enough

HOLD ME TIGHT, LEAVE ME ALONE (Adam Watts) I haven't looked beneath the surface In a little too long If that little monster in the basement isn't dead Then he's stronger Outside there's a cool wind blowing Here by the fire there's a tension growing (Chorus) Hold me tight, tight, tight Leave me alone Leave me alone Hold me right, right, right Leave me alone Out on my own My message is mixed Up to all my old tricks I'm all cotton and then I'm a stone Hold me tight, tight, tight Leave me alone I put my lightening in a bottle And I sent it out to sea Hoping the somebody would find it And come save me The ship comes and it finds me hiding They have to drag me kicking and screaming Chorus (Bridge) I want you here And then I want you gone Don't know my up or downs My right or my wrongs I want you here But then I want you gone I want you gone Chorus Leave me Don't leave me alone Leave me Don't leave me alone Baby leave me Don't leave me alone Leave me Don't leave me alone Leave me Don't leave me alone

Black Snow 04:23
BLACK SNOW (Adam Watts) I can't tell if I'm feeling right Checked my pulse And my blood is running cold It's cold I made friends with my demons Went to war with reason I guess I sold my soul (Chorus) I can take it but it's cold Black snow When it falls on me It cuts straight through me And it's really getting old Black snow When it falls on me It cuts straight through me Black snow Black snow Found out where I fit this time Found dawn in the dying light So low New lows No rest for my wicked side No faith and the whole man dies That's all she wrote (Chorus) I can take it but it's cold She made it Made it Black snow She made it Made it When it falls on me I hate it Hate it It cuts straight through me I hate it And it's really getting old She made it Made it Black snow She made it Made it When it falls on me I hate it It cuts straight through me Black snow Black snow Black snow Black snow I can take it but it's cold She made it Made it She made it Made it When it falls on me I hate it It cuts straight through me I hate it Black snow Black snow Black snow Black snow Black snow

HALLELUJAH, AMEN (Adam Watts) I'm not the man I used to be High on belief Watch me bleed The one I used to love to hate The most willing slave God I miss that cage And I've paid my dues Licked my wounds But nothing kills the rage (Chorus) What part of me has to die to live Thought I was already born again Can a prayer be a question Only answered with a sin Hallelujah Amen Hallelujah Amen And in my conscience there's a hole That broken door of denial It flows like water Spreads like fire Breaks my will Frays my wires (Pre-Chorus) And I've paid my dues Licked my wounds The last resort is I pray Chorus Amen Amen
