Ruby Lips 03:05
I need a second to myself so I can pick back up my thoughts Hopefully it doesn't take too long for me to realize that I am lost Without you Walk me back home Walk me to the stairs Maybe around the lake, take in some air We could spend the rest of the night together Enjoying the weather, depending whether or not you'd care to And I know that I'm not opposed To spending the rest of my night with those Ruby Lips Those eyes, those hips I need a second to myself so I can pick back up my heart Hopefully it doesn't take too long for you to realize that I am not Just hitting on you Talk to me love I just want to relate Talk about our fears, our hopes, our dreams 'til late We could spend the rest of the night together Enjoying each other, no physics depending on what you're into And I know that I'm not opposed To spending the rest of my night not just with your Ruby Lips Your eyes, your hips I still can't shake 'em

I'm watching the world fall apart And all I can see is you Holding my heart I can see in your eyes You pulling my insides Schemes and flirtation fleeting My soul can't bear your mind There's fire bursting in flames And all I can think is you Calling my name I can see in your eyes You pulling my insides Schemes and flirtation fleeting My soul can't bear your mind Woah, Woah Woah, Woah Just tell me the truth Tell me what you want me to hear Cause right now I'm burning It's your last chance my dear And I'm hoping That you'll pull me through this fate But it's too late I'm watching my world fall apart And all I can hear is you Ripping my heart

Pushing Away 05:22
I am lost and I am lonely and I I am cursed and I am empty Turning to stone My heartbeats growing slow Now where can I go When I need strength the most I'll find a home I was done and I hurt you and I I was worn but followed through Stabbing through your heart I knew we'd fall apart Now where do I go At night, when I'm alone I'll find a home And I can see your smile And I can see your tears I But I can't see tomorrow But I can feel my fears I am raw and I am barren and I I am new and I am wanting Searching for truth My body's bleeding you Rejecting empty promises, the fights Seeking closure tonight And I can see your smile And I can see your tears I But I can't see tomorrow But I can feel my fears But I can't see tomorrow But I can feel my fears But I can see your smile And I can feel my tears I'll find a home, I'll find a home I'll find a home, I'll find a home

I heard there was another man another pair of blue eyes to take my place I heard there was another girl another person that I would have to face Someone who knows someone who's heard That I'm the one, the reason why you hurt And there they faced me There they scowled There they turned me away cause I am not allowed I'm just the bad guy, I'm just the soulless jerk Why the whole relationship took a turn I can't feel the pain, I'm not supposed to hurt I'm not alone because I was first To push away, to make you cry I'm the one, the sole reason why We're gone I know that I am the reason/ I know that you are the reason Why we are feeling this low/ Why I am feeling this low I was bringing us down / Cause you were bringing me down But I let go/ But you let go Took it one step further And left alone/ And left me alone I know that I left you reeling/ I know that I was left reeling falling and feeling this low But now you are holding yourself up/ But now I am holding myself up You've got a new man/ I have a new man You've got a new life/ I have a new life It seems all right I heard there was another man There was another girl A brand new life a whole new world Maybe a scene where we can just be friends A whole new light We'll see how it ends The clock is ticking I'll be there waiting I'll see you then I know that I am the reason/ I know that you are the reason Why we are feeling this low/ Why I am feeling this low I was bringing us down / Cause you were bringing me down But I let go/ But you let go Took it one step further And left alone/ And left me alone I know that I left you reeling/ I know that I was left reeling falling and feeling this low But now you are holding yourself up/ But now I am holding myself up You've got a new man/ I have a new man You've got a new life/ I have a new life It seems all right I have to say that I'm sorry for all the pain and suffering from the time before But now I see that the choice was right And you deserved a better life Than I could give My dreams felt wrong Least that's why we are gone.

I Had a Home 05:44
I had a place to live A warm bed to sleep in And I had a home 'Til you took the hammer and broke it down And she had her hopes 'Til you showed your face and tore it all apart And I know what you have done We've bared all of your sins And I know what I have seen You are dark and a liar within And I know that you will fall You're destined to bleed And I know what you have done We've bared all of your sins And I know what I have seen You are dark and a liar within And I know that you will fall You're destined to bleed 'cause you are responsible For an emptiness in me You've killed home You've murdered memories You've deceived your own sons Withdrawn from all empathy You've buried your past Hidden under your lies But now you've dug too deep Broken all of your ties And I know what you have done We've bared all of your sins And I know what I have seen You are dark and a liar within And I know that you will fall You're destined to bleed And I know what you have done We've bared all of your sins And I know what I have seen You are dark and a liar within And I know that you will fall You're destined to bleed Because you are responsible For an emptiness in me

I Just Might 04:24
I had a handful of tears And I had too many fears Then you found me And I saw you And you took away my heart So here I am And there you are So we'll dance together 'til it gets dark You peeled away the sadness, my sorrows You chipped away my dark insides You pulled the curtains, let it the light So now my heart is warm and I I just might Feel my heart beat again I remember who I am And I am forever grateful For a second wind, a chance to live We stayed awake into the night We talked away the bright starlight We found some comfort in each other, feeling so right So now my heart is warm and I I just might Feel my heart beat again I remember who I am And I am forever grateful For a second wind, a chance to live And I know that this love is going nowhere And I know that I am just a fool But foolish dreams are all I got And this life I swear won't be for not 'cause I can feel my heart beat again I remember who I am And I am forever grateful For a second wind, a chance to live

Pulse 08:07
I pushed away half of my heart I buried it I smothered it with dirt And I thought I left six feet under But where my feet rest I can still feel it's pulse I know that I have changed But it still beats like yesterday, pounding inside in sync with my brain And I miss you, but I can't say word I am poison I am what's hurting you And I miss you, but I can't say word I am poison I am what's hurting you And I miss you, but I can't say word I am poison I'm what's infecting you And I miss you, but I can't say word I am poison I am what's killing you When I close my eyes all, I need is the darkness But your piercing light cuts right through I swear to god I'll be blind And I know I pushed my heart away But it still beats/bleeds like yesterday
8.
Daybreak 04:06
I know that I am not alone And if you think there's nothing more for you then won't you come on home? Cause there's pain, there's dark, there's hate, there is heartache But there's love, there's light, there's hope, there is daybreak. I know that I am not alone And if we try a little harder maybe we could build this home Built with pain, dark, hate, and heartache And with love, light, hope, and the daybreaks I know that we are not alone And if our hearts are rooting for us there's nothing to keep us from our warmth We all have our pain, our dark, our hate and our heart aches But we have our love, our light, our hope and the daybreaks And if we sing a little harder Then our fluttering hearts could breathe a little fuller I know that we are not alone (I know that we are not alone)

about

WE’RE GONE..WE BEGIN

Over the last two years, I’ve developed a stronger sense of self in my songwriting. I am proud of how I say what I need to say. With this record coming into fruition, I’m excited to share with Omaha what I’ve been working on. This is a true turning point in my career, but it would not have been possible without my bandmates at my side. Collaboration has become one of my favorite things. Josh’s percussive instincts drive these songs forward. Angeline’s voice lets them soar. Chris and his 117-year-old upright bass provide the depth. It is incredibly important to me that they lend their unique voices to the songs to make them what they are: These are my memories, but this is our art. —Bach Mai
