Train like a gun Shoot through the desert and sun Attraction is a bitch Your devilish smile Combined with heavenly style You're really quite a dish You're fighting for attention You fight with your past You're dangerous shattered glass Train like a gun You shoot but you've just begun To ride out on your own Ride out on your own ​ Dry your eyes and touch the sky Dry your eyes and touch the sky ​ Train like a gun Unload a barrel of fun Disaster is a fix Invisible care When you're visibly scared It's really quite a mix You're fighting for affection You're fighting to last You're dangerously relaxed Train like a gun You shoot but you've just begun To ride out on your own Ride out on your own ​ Now it's in motion The commotion You could not say out loud Train like a gun Shoot through the desert and sun Attraction is a bitch Your devilish smile Combined with heavenly style It's really quite a mix You're fighting for affection You're fighting to last You're dangerously relaxed Train like a gun You shoot but you've just begun To ride out on your won Now ride out on your own Dry your eyes and touch the sky Dry your eyes and touch the sky

Close your eyes Open up your mind There's too much distraction going on outside Just leave it all behind If you want to fly You've gotta leave it all behind ​ Forget what they say You gotta make your won way There's too much confusion going on inside You gotta leave it all behind If you want to fly You've gotta leave it all behind ​ To overcome what holds you down You must become the head that wears the crown ​ On your mark Open up your heart There's too much affliction going on outside You gotta leave it all behind If you want to fly You gotta leave that shit behind ​ Forget what they say

Down and out on a dark and dreary night I feel a bit crazy Heaven help me if I never see the light Emancipate me ​ I've played their games, with all their rules There's nothing there but kings and fools Fan the flame to frame my name It's time to tell the truth ​ The world is made of fire A flame that love inspires With a heart full of gasoline I'm gonna watch it burn Watch it burn ​ I clear my mind of everything I know I feel a bit lighter Strike a match and revel in the glow It's getting brighter ​ Who am I if not myself? When I'm not me then I'm not well Stoke the flame, watch it burn My heart will tell the truth ​ The world is made of fire A flame that love inspires With a heart full of gasoline I'm gonna watch it burn Watch it burn

I've tried wine Been whisked away by whiskey's kiss I got baptized in a pool of gin Just to wash you away ​ It feels like a dream Broken flowers on the floor I know it's my fault, so I drink the blame Just to wash you away ​ I drink about you every day There's no cure for broken hearts So I'm drinking to wash you away ​ There's no relief There's no shelter from your storm I'm an empty shell of my old self I can't wash you away ​ I drink about you every day There's no cure for broken hearts So I'm drinking to wash you away

Everything is far Close enough to see But just out of reach You have a poet's voice Your words are paper thin Springing from a fountain High up on a mountain ​ In the beginning There was nothing up above Heaven is a cloud of dust That stuck together in the name of love In the beginning There was nothing here but time Now time keeps moving on It never was, and will never be enough ​ Everything is clear Perfect like the sky So endlessly open You swim against the tide Desire sets you free The struggle was worth it ​ In the beginning There was nothing up above Heaven is a cloud of dust That stuck together in the name of love In the beginning There was nothing here but time Now time keeps moving on It never was, and will never be enough

about

Craig Haller Nashville, Tennessee

Craig Haller was born with a chip on his shoulder and a song in his heart. His music is the byproduct of many hours spent in obsessive contemplation. With a flair for memorable melodies and an overabundance of poetic license, he happily casts himself as lord of his own creative landscape—a land of genre fluidity, appetizing aural atmospheres, and turns of phrase that refuse to be pinned down. ... more
