Flood 03:45
It's gotten so warm In a house which is usually plagued by the cold The grass is growing In places that always froze I stopped looking I'm starting to see you I stopped searching for your touch I'm starting to feel you This wave has filled my empty heart Love is rushing through my blood And I'm lost in your flood I'll never be blind again Through these eyes the world's so bright Even as the dark surrounds us I can still feel the light

Sweet Dreams 02:31
Where do we begin? My thoughts are racing wide I'll never forget How your love hurt from all sides So wake me up And take my heart from off my sleeve Make me live As if this moment was all it could be And whisper me, "sweet dreams" like before Is this what I need To fill a void left so closed To another's life? Can all these feelings just repose So wake me up And take my heart from off my sleeve Make me live As if this moment was all it could be And whisper me, "sweet dreams" like before Whisper me, "sweet dreams" like before Whisper me, "sweet dreams" like before

Never thought this would be Something that passes my mind How wonderful to see Past the limits of time There's more to life than this My ego will fade like the rest My heart beats through my chest For this beauty I can't resist Open my eyes to the valley of the sun Like a wave lost at sea In search of the water We're all too blind to see The wonder that is just upon the shore I'll fight the ignorance That hinders all the bliss Just so that I can taste Mother nature's gentle kiss I've only come halfway And there's still so many days That I have left to feel This world's saving grace Open my eyes to the valley of the sun Well it burns and it breaks There's no time left to waste To understand the pain The brightness soothes your inner soul There's no such thing as young and old There's just today, my friend Open my eyes to the valley of the sun

Spare 03:14
Baby, I'm down again But I know these tears aren't your friend So I fight them with doubt As they throw me around And I fall to the pavement I can't keep this to myself I'm human, I just need some help And if you gave me the time I wouldn't be searching for someone who cares And I know That you're there But you shoo me away with our state in disrepair And we've grown I'm aware But there's something that's missing that's making my heart tear Have you the time to spare? Can't I just speak my mind Or do I have to censor these words all the time? It's a game that I'll play With a mind that's in vain And a lost sense of truth What happened to being me To being connected to all that's free Instead of following your handbook to life, can I live? And I know That you're there But you shoo me away with our state in disrepair And we've grown I'm aware But there's something that's missing that's making my heart tear Have you the time to spare? Maybe we can figure this out Plot out another route But I'm afraid this might be for the best

Long Gone 04:34
It's starting to get cold So I close the window As all of the wind blows Inside But the more that I sit here I'm likely to shed tears For all of the past years I've tried And you won't see Cause you're too busy walking away from me And you won't know Cause by the time I'm there you'll already be gone You're gone Long gone Can't I just accept the fact your gone Long gone I'm stuck in a system That's full of fake wisdom They say you should give some To take But I'm taking it slowly This clock doesn't know me It's been stuck at 10:03 all day And you won't see Cause you're too busy walking away from me And you won't know Cause by the time I'm there you'll already be gone You're gone Long gone Can't I just accept the fact your gone Long gone I'd like to think that I'll see you in my dreams But realistically I'll only live through a screen And I still smell your perfume from miles away And my mind runs to you hearing Ben Howard play In the dissonance, I can recall harmony Of those beautiful moments you sang songs with me How is it that I've been put in this place? When you fed me the poison But gave me the blame But you won't see Cause you're too busy walking away from me And you won't know Cause by the time I'm there you'll already be gone You're gone Long gone Can't I just accept the fact you're gone Long gone

Sometimes I'll swim Just to know what it's like not to breathe for a bit And I think while I'm down "What if death is just a man-made myth?" Sometimes I'll run Just to make sure my heart is beating blood into my lungs But what if we are beating life Into something bigger than us? Why can't you tell me what you think? I'm not interested in politics or weather, what's forever in this? Don't call me wise, when to think is just a choice we make I am only opposed to a life that just goes to waste Often times I am told To do as they say or let punishment unfold But can't my actions serve a greater good Than just avoiding the cold? Often times I see light But the man in the corner casts his shadow in the night And I dream of a day when the fire is always in sight In sight But why can't you tell me what you think? I'm not interested in politics or weather, what's forever in this? Don't call me wise, when to think is just a choice we make I am only opposed to a life that just goes to waste

It fades to black There's nothing left to see Just you and I Forget our history It's just a clashing note Resolving happily A harsh hitting chord Leaving room to run free So hold On tight When you're fighting to believe Breathe life into me I'm losing track I'm just about to fold Let's stop looking back and Feel the warmth before the embers are cold I can't count these mistakes When they're costing me these seconds of life Let's learn to move on Before memories cloud my sight So hold On tight When you're fighting to believe Breathe life into me (Improvised ending)

Realize 03:42
A shadow hangs beneath my eyes A moonlit path under calming skies But the trees hang their branches low As they yearn for growth No rain has come for days And still no sun to show Can I just lie beneath the stars So what if I cry, just 'cause I came this far How could you not stop to wonder? Why we're all in this place And how the beauty and grace Fills our lives Have you ever felt a wind so smooth Yet still cuts you deep Like a paper cuts a wound Sometimes the worst things in life are guised by what seems right You may walk towards the sun To be greeted by endless night Can I just lie beneath the stars So what if I cry, just 'cause I came this far How could you not stop to wonder? Why we're all in this place And how the beauty and grace Fills our lives

With music rooted in pop/folk foundations, his style also seeks inspiration from jazz and soul reminiscent of John Mayer and Jamie Cullum. Traveling across the US in a sleeper van and busking on the streets between gigs, Cubbage has given himself wholly to a life of a modern bohemian musician. ... more
