  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This compact disc contains two additional songs: "Anecdote", which features Dayton hip-hop artist TINO, and "Won't Love You Anymore", co-written with Nashville Americana artist Greg Owens. Due to these additional songs, the track listing is arranged differently than the digital version for a custom listening experience. Also, the deluxe version features an alternate mix of opening track "Your Anthem".

    The disc will arrive nestled comfortably in a jewel case, including a twelve page booklet where you can read all of the lyrics at your leisure. The beautiful painting "Insomnia" by Megan Fiely is on the cover, and the layout and design was handled by Spencer Williams. This deluxe version on compact disc will be a solid addition to your music collection.

lyrics

I raise my hand
Such a volunteer I am
Alone I stand
Suffer like the fool I am

And for the life of me I cannot seem to get clear
Turn on the light for me quiet the voices I hear

Lay me down gently
Lay me down with a reminder to breathe
Let me breathe deeply
Let me leave peacefully

I’ll pay the fare
Charge me double if you dare
This is the end
Close my eyes and count to ten

And for the life of me I cannot seem to get clear
Turn on the light for me quiet the voices I hear

Lay me down gently
Lay me down with a reminder to breathe
Let me breathe deeply
Let me leave peacefully

Lay me down gently
Lay me down gently
Lay me down gently
Let me leave

Lay me down gently
Lay me down with a reminder to breathe
Let me breathe deeply
Let me leave peacefully
