Lay It Down 04:16

I hope you can let it all go Let it all go, let it all go I hope you can lay it all down Lay it all down My suitcase can’t fit All the things I thought I wanted Since high school and college I thought that I could take them with me But it all feels like a distant dream And I am bursting at the seams Holding onto all the things That aren’t for me now Seasons come and seasons go I thought they would last forever Thinking that I had cracked the code But I'm not that clever I hope you can let it all go Let it all go, let it all go I hope you can lay it all down Lay it all down You can’t take it with ya I hope you can let it all go Let it all go, let it all go I hope you can lay it all down Lay it all down You can rest your shoulders now Rest your shoulders now Thirty comes quick And I stack the expectations Should have dones and ruminations Could have changed my situations Fall on stronger shoulders Teach me to number my days Yet fill every moment with grace Cause freedom it is calling my name Calling me Calling my name Seasons come and seasons go I thought they would last forever Letting go of what I think I hold Because I'm not that clever I hope you can let it all go Let it all go, let it all go I hope you can lay it all down Lay it all down You can’t take it with ya I hope you can let it all go Let it all go, let it all go I hope you can lay it all down Lay it all down Hours seconds Every minute’s Got me checking Double counting Second guessing Think I can control But I know this Ain’t worth it Find the blessing In the middle Of the tension Between future And the present Oh contentment My heart restless Longs for heaven Hours seconds Every minute’s Got me checking Double counting Second guessing Think I can control But I know this Ain’t worth it Find the blessing In the middle Of the tension Between future And the present Oh contentment My heart restless Made for heaven I hope you can let it all go Let it all go, let it all go I hope you can lay it all down Lay it all down You can’t take it with ya I hope you can let it all go Let it all go, let it all go I hope you can lay it all down Lay it all down You can rest your shoulders now Rest your shoulders now

I see you running I see you chasing the wind I hear you breathing heavy Again and again I see your mind in knots But I feel an outstretched hand I hear you longing You asking to rest in love again Let your shoulders fall my friend I'm telling ya Patience young gun Why you running so hard yeah Is it really now or never Who are you trying to impress now Patience young gun Let your heart be of love yeah Bigger isn't always better And more isn't better than less More isn't better than less More isn't better than More isn't better than less I see your restless heart I see you wanting to be found I hear it beating erratic Up and down up down I see unmet desires Feel the weight of expectation But I hear freedom call Whispers of new beginnings Come on let it go Patience young gun Why you running so hard yeah Is it really now or never Who are you trying to impress now Patience young gun Let your heart be of love yeah Bigger isn't always better And more isn't better than less More isn't better than less More isn't better than More isn't better than less Oooh No more grasping at the wind Spinning around again and again and again now Oooh Smoke and mirrors they deceive Making promises that they won't keep now Oooh Let me lift your weary head Take the scorecard from your restless hands and Oooh There's more substance to your breath Than just wanting more than what you have so Patience young gun Why you running so hard Is it really now or never Who are you trying to impress now Patience young gun Let your heart be of love Bigger isn't always better

Nothing Left to Prove 04:27
lyrics

I've got nothing left to prove Truth be told I’m not that cool No, I’m so tired of chasing likes and False affirmations Letting go of social blues, lets Have a real conversation I’ve spent Many a night On Instagram Scrolling Past a life that I wish I had Can’t keep up With all the fads The fomo comes And makes me sad What if I like the life That I have Save that precious time Cause I’ve got nothing left to prove Oooh truth be told I’m not that cool No, I’m so tired of chasing likes and False validation Letting go of social blues Let’s have a real conversation Metrics on the mind Post at the right time Get the caption right Photo is a vibe Man I’m getting tired Of gymnastics online Cause I’ve got nothing left to prove Truth be told I’m not that cool No, I’m so tired of chasing likes and False admirations Letting go of social blues Let’s have a real conversation When it’s all stripped away What remains We’re the same Flesh and blood Remove the screen Heart it beats Level ground Dust to dust to dust to dust When it’s all stripped away What remains We’re the same Flesh and blood Remove the screen Heart it beats Level ground Dust to dust to dust to dust Look in my eyes Therein lies My design The work of my Maker Letting go Of my pride To control the tide Of how you see me I’ve got nothing left to prove to you Truth be told I’m not that cool I’m so tired of chasing likes and False aspirations Letting go of social blues Let’s have a real conversation I’ve got nothing left to prove to you Truth be told I’ve been a fool for you I’m so tired of chasing likes and False expectations Letting go of social blues Let’s have a real conversation

Saltwater Eyes 04:02
lyrics

I heard that love had no anchor So I sailed a life with no lines I traded the truth for adventure And ended with saltwater eyes So tell me which way Tell me which way do I go Am I lost or am I Running away From the answers that I know I’ve been caught red handed Spinning half truths Is a kind of excuse Just to keep myself in motion But it don’t satisfy I know all the rules I should follow I dot all the I's cross my t’s But the stress of perfection is hollow And I still don’t feel complete So tell me which way Tell me which way do I go Am I lost or am I Running away From the answers that I know I’ve been caught red handed Spinning half truths Is a kind of excuse Just to keep myself in motion But it don’t satisfy Is life just a game Of prove or improve It’s running through my mind Did I ever do enough for you? But all of my pride What did it do? Feeding me the lie That I never really needed you With oceans for eyes And salt in your wounds You’re bringing me in close Like I never turned my back to you I’ve got nothing to bring And nothing to prove I’m laying down the weight And I’m running right back to you I see my father before me With grace and delight in his eyes I ran after more than you’d shown me Now I know only you satisfy

I think it’s an illusion The greener grass past the picket fence I think it’s an illusion Every smile through the thin glass I think it’s an illusion The champagne price tag through the window I want what I don’t hold Just to have more Just to have better Will I be satisfied ever Just to have more Just to have better Will I be satisfied ever Ever It’s like a New Year’s resolution A cheap fix just chasing trends And I’ve come to this conclusion That all of this, it may never end So give me a solution No magic tricks or fake amends How far will we all go? Just to have more Just to have better Will I be satisfied ever Just to have more Just to have better Will I be satisfied ever Ever There is more than the dreams we’ve all been chasing There is more than the pain we’ve all been facing There is more than the fears we’ve been defending There is more than this life we’ve all been renting There is more than the dreams we’ve all been chasing There is more than the pain we’ve all been facing There is more than the fears we’ve been defending There is more than the always running after more There is more than this There is more than this There is more than this There is more than this There is more than this There is more than this There is more than this There is more than this I think it’s an illusion The greener grass past the picket fence I think it’s an illusion I think it’s an illusion I think it’s an illusion I think it’s an illusion I think it’s an illusion I think it’s an illusion I think it’s an illusion I think it’s an illusion I think it’s an illusion

about

The Timbre of Cedar image

The Timbre of Cedar Detroit, Michigan

Though its name evokes images of a land with towering trees, winding rivers, and vast lakes, The Timbre of Cedar is rooted in the urban forest of Metro Detroit. Cutting through the peripheral noise of sonic and existential monotony, the five-piece musical collective crafts a refreshing brand of anthemic indie-rock, inspired and instilled with a transparency of the soul and a yearning for grace. ... more
