We’re not so young anymore I can feel it in the cold The days are passing, never slow it just gets harder, so i’m told The time we spend is not enough How can I live without your touch? To wander down a path so rough and it's you I miss so much Take this broken mind Build it back up to find I never stopped loving I never stopped loving Take this hardened heart Break it into pieces, parts I never stopped loving, I never stopped loving I can’t help but to forget It’s not just memories i’ll miss Where is the dignity in this? There’s no time for this regret How i long to reminisce ‘cause it’s you i miss

What will it take for us to make it through? How many times, must we find the truth the hard way? Will it be the hard way? If i fight for what is right, will you stand beside me? I know there’s a better man inside me Take what you can, 'cause this is all i have I want to say these things out loud But to me, i don’t know how It’s a terrible way to live Never what i ought to give I’m still here! Can you see me through this skin? I’m still here, trying harder not to give up! Will you give up? Will you give up on me? I want to say these things out loud But to me, i don’t know how It’s a terrible way to live Never what i ought to give Waste away There’s too much to say Can’t you just read my mind? There's a time and a place for us Where the moment is no longer rushed We can go, we can settle down slow You and I, you and I, if we're up for this fight

Beyond Reach 06:53
You can't withhold what was never found The inhibitions of a younger me abound The Forever Echo sound I can't change the ever-growing heart Resounding words I had from the start The truest parts This is all I can think to share All my sins are laid to bare Forgetting faces I held in my arms I never meant to cause any harm it is my own alarm There’s a hopelessness about this pain How can I force it on anyone to blame? Oh the shame This is all i can think to say To the one who never let me down Who kept my feet firm on the ground What's that echo sound? I'm ready for the truth to come But I've grown so old and numb Where did I hear that from? Take the sickness inside my mind Make it new and you're sure to find I wasn't so blind I never ceased to try to love you true My heart is breaking for the time with you The hour is due Can you take this all away? Restore me to the youth of my younger days Feel the sorrow dripping from my lips I'm beyond reach, grasping with fingertips Can you take this all away?

about

I set out to write a few songs for my father, who suffers from Alzheimers, and ended up with these three songs. They are written from his (mostly) unspoken perspective, but along the way found myself writing words that could easily be my own.
