Marc Griffin - Invisible Ink 03:21
lyrics
buy track
One night you told me that you wanted to hear all the ways that I loved you to keep away all your fears but you know that my fingers have always been stronger than my voice and it's hard for me to get out of my head the words that I've written down so then we went to sleep but with a brush in our bed and we painted our dreams on each other to say all that couldn't be said but there in the darkness all the paint began to bleed turned to lemon and water in a shade only I could see the next morning we woke up just a little bit colder towards each other, the years, growing older and apart we forgot what we were so to keep us from breaking I devised a plan because you know that I talk in my sleep you decided to give me the chance so you stayed up all night in that chair by the window and wrote down the things that I said but oh, through the night you lost the fight and I found you asleep in that chair but who knows what I said that night because when I found you you had a smile on your face

Marc Griffin - The Wheel of Industry 02:37
lyrics
buy track
I still feel the world turning from a mile underground I still remember every inch of the streets of my hometown and how we ran ran through light and air to keep from growing old but if coal's the wheel of industry then I've become its road and the bridges all have burned and the rivers overflowed and every time we put another man into the ground we all pay our respects and then we drink another round and we say "No, that won't be me" "Oh no, that'll never be me" I've become so used to the absence of light to the shortness of breath to the long sleepless nights but I'll never get accustomed to the light in the eyes of a man worked to nothing in the bowels of a mine and how they shine like silver fire It's just the sound, hollow and low that changes all traps us down below and do you know what it feels like to be so alone? It's like being set on fire It's like drowning in thin air It's the darkness and the distance when you know nobody's there because for all the things I am and all the awful things I've done I have this feeling in my hear there is no god up above so I'll take this pick and shovel like a beast in a cage and I will tear into the earth because this ain't my final page because all I've known of heaven is some blood between the sheets but from what I've seen of hell I know it's colder than you'd think.

Marc Griffin - Family Tree 04:05
lyrics
buy track
I don't remember you as well as I should when I went to your funeral out there in the woods saw so few familiar faces, my family has grown thin but Amanda came to us all tears and old goodbyes my brother stood and took it but I couldn't dry my eyes three years since the last one, where Grandma didn't know my name but did you ever think you'd be a broken branch on our family tree? so strange to think I'm now older than you'll ever be of all the things in life you'll never get to see they thought you were sleeping but they didn't know the score and oh the horror when they found you on the floor you were always older, so much stronger and taller when I was little there's no one I'd rather follow but as we grow older, all our heroes are torn down so you went into the service, you left for a war that you didn't understand, but you knew what to fight for all the things that you'd forgotten about the man you knew you could be but did you ever think you'd be a broken branch on our family tree? on that cold morning did you hear the angels come? and did they sing of silver lakes with foggy shores? did they carry you with hands so soft and sure? and were you scared to see the man you knew you were I think we're all scared to see just who we really are.

Marc Griffin - Someday I'll get it right 05:42
lyrics
buy track
Now Now that I'm old I feel so much younger than I'd felt before I've watched you change I've watched you grow and now I know that we we're meant to build we're meant to build much stronger than what came before we have the drive we have the know-how and there's still time (chorus) Me I'm amazed by the things my friends do each and every day they write books they play music they teach our kids and I I write songs to amplify the things I've done throughout my life they're not all good but maybe someday I'll get it right (chorus) Someday I'll get it right on that day I'll be alright (chorus)
