We're letting you decide what the album is worth. You can download the entire album in CD quality for free (honest) or shoot us some dough if you're so inclined.
More than anything, we want the music to be out there. Thanks for listening. -- Michael, Raymond and Matt.
This bed I have made
Of roses and thorns
I lay me down
And drink till the morn’
This bridge I have made
Between heart and mind
Still incomplete
40 years down the line
Fall with me
No guarantees
On the long straight forever
On the long straight forever
The bridges I’ve burned
The wrong turns I’ve made
Cause the roads
To all look the same
The friends that you keep
The family you make
The love that you find
And the truth that you take
So hard to find the soul
To know when to stay or to go
So hard to seize the day
The moment keeps turning around
...and slipping away
