Daniel Warren Jason's fearless exploration and revelation of himself brings out my own self-searching. His openness toward faith, hope, and love are endearing, yet challenge my own understanding. Huge shout out to Damon Moon at The Cottage in Atlanta! This album is excellently written, performed, and structured. Favorite track: Faithful.

Nineveh 04:44
like Jonah i ran from your lovingkindness and found myself scorched by the sun rather than your severities i find your mercies hard to bare it doesn't make sense sin and repent and all is well the flesh and bone i am i want penance i want to burn in hell you say you're forgiven but i have not forgotten just where i've been clemency to a contrite heart is harder to receive than give foolish men subvert their ways and their hearts rage against the Lord rather than take you at your word i'll base my verdict on what i deserve like Jonah i ran from your love but even in the belly of a beast where could i go? like Nineveh i stood condemned if not for your great love and mercy where would i be?

there are cobwebs in my house that only i can see. sometimes i think i weave them myself and blame spiders for their intricacies. regrets settle like dust in a house left unkept. oblivious to what the past would weigh i let it bury everything. and i'll never know what could have been there are memories i wish i made. i want you to know what you mean to me i won't let my regrets speak for me. i wish this house was better lit. i wish that i could see myself. i miss mirrors in the eyes of friends they tell truth without a single sound. and i'll never know what could have been there are memories i wish i made i want you to know what you mean to me i won't let my regrets speak for me. and you never knew because i couldn't speak of opportunities i let escape i wish you could know what you mean to me i won't let my regrets speak for me.

how long must i lay here pretending to be at peace? while on the surface i seem steady underneathe i stumble for the beat and the music was so charming that we tried to sing along and the campfire that burnt so lively hasn't breathed since you've been gone how long must i tell myself love with always find a way? as i curse the very God who's so called love gave His only Son away i wish i could have been there when they hung you on a tree for i'd know without a doubt the blood you shed was love for me and i don't know what to say words never mattered anyway and i don't know what to say did words ever matter anyway? if i played you a sad song would you cry or wipe my tears? think of me when you feel sorrow for it was i who whispered it to your ears and i told her that i loved her as she walked away from me just like Jesus as He closed his eyes was it too late to believe? and i don't know what to say words never mattered anyway and i don't know what to say did words ever matter anyway? i want to believe so badly but i can't seem to let go i want to believe so badly but i lost faith tears ago i want to believe so badly that it holds me when i sleep i want to believe so badly that you'd love a wretch like me i know you don't like flowers but that's all he had on the corner street and i know you don't like words but that's all i have if you've no faith in me a disappointing birthday thrown to celebrate death's approach there was a clown with nails in His steady wrists and candles that held a single wish so i asked Him for a new soul and He took it as a joke He said "this trick is tough but if you wait long enough i'll pull a worthy prize out of my throat." and i don't know what to say words never mattered anyway and i don't know what to say did words ever matter anyway?

Cathy 03:34
cathy put your seat belt on we're going for a drive we've got a couple of hours before morning comes that should give us plenty of time it doesn't matter if you love me it doesn't matter where we go we'll just drive cathy i'm not a desperate man i could just use some company i know you've been hurt before you've been hurt the same as me we don't have to talk about it you don't have to say a word i know you hardly know me many of my friends can say the same there's something to be said for those of us who can stand to wait we don't have to find all the answers we don't have to drag this out we can let the music swallow our troubles and the road and feel free to sing aloud when we drive

Faithful 04:36
is it well within my grasp? i've got the heart but not the act i grow weary of a cup never full like i'm sure you grow tired of me being ungrateful i want to be faithful i want to be true don't want to be divided between what i want and what i do amazing grace, how sweet the sound but if that's all it is i don't want to be found but there's something more to it i just can't figure out and no matter how i try i just can't get around i want to be faithful i want to be true don't want to be divided between what i want and what i do

Calendars 05:26
time waits for no one yet it never moves fast enough slow the hands of a clock where they land is never where you want time escapes when you need it the most through a door kept ajar by my ghosts if i stare at the calendar long enough it'll move to a more convenient month if i stare if i stare at the calendar

Harvest 03:42
one man waters and another man sows but the increase comes from God alone unless a seed dies it cannot grow and by fire will it's works be shown create in me that good soil produce a crop a hundred fold O to be your harvest as good as damned is a tree that bares no fruit unfaithful is the bride that strays as subtle as a fox the vine is ruined thanks be to Christ who overcame create in me that good soil produce a crop a hundred fold O to be your harvest God will frustrate the wisest of men from the same stone give life or death the tree that bore the greatest curse was the one that raised me from my hearse create in me that good soil produce a crop a hundred fold O to be your harvest O to be your harvest

from your ears to your toes every detail of you holds my attention every subtlety demands that i listen to your every sigh there's a purity you own it goes with every dress you wear i stare only because i have never known such hope and i've never felt so at home perfectly composed even when you are a mess darlin' you know who i am when i forget long before we were lovers we were friends your door was as far as i would dare to venture and i'd drive home singing praise standing on your tiptoes painted autumn like the leaves out your window you were reaching for some disregarding dish like one day i hoped you'd reach for me perfectly composed even when you are a mess darlin' i know who you are when you forget don't be anyone but you

Strays 05:10
guilty as i am, i forget all too easily insatiable are the eyes of man when everything i see i think i need peaceful as a river, i'm the first the throw a stone and i'll stop what i am doing for a tragedy grateful as i am, i forget all too easily a feast enjoyed with friends when i'm left alone with plates to clean youthful as a boy, i grow older with each day and look to the time i've lost rather than what remains we're infinite souls stuck in earthen cages we gave up the garden but demand our rights we're more precious than gold but we're sold for a good time we're playing with fire and surprised by the light forgiven as i am, i forget all too easily the goodness of the Lord when the fruit i bare is not holy seed humbled as i am, still prideful as i was i love my neighbors best when they're away we're infinite souls stuck in earthen cages we gave up the garden but demand our rights we're more precious than gold but we're sold for a good time we're playing with fire and surprised by the light faithful as i am, i'm as fickle as the tide i ebb and flow my way upon your shore gentle like my father but still not half the man i'm quick to quit what he taught me when it counts we're strays in the alley when our seats at the banquet entrusted with the kingdom but we're burying our wages we're dressed in holy garments but we're playing in the muck true love coursing in our veins and we're strung out on drugs we're infinite souls stuck in earthen cages we're strays scrammin' for scraps when a feast is awaitin' we're more precious than gold but we're sold for a good time we're asking for your fire but denying the light yea we're asking for fire

Memphis 04:55
who in their right mind would buy a lie? easiest said when broke as long as i've got something to hide i never want to lose control i've been around twenty something years what the hell do i know? i miss the sound of your voice and the love that you bestowed upon my shame and above my reach but i'm too proud to let you know was i wrong when i said i couldn't give you anymore? and i don't want to be here anymore i'm a long long way from home. who in their right mind would buy a lie? easiest said when broke how long will i be content trading love for a peep show? how many miles must i walk till i realize i can let it go?
