  • 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

Where oh where did my potential go?
Or was it ever even here?
Used to hang out with my aptitude
Before we saw them disappear

Put me under oath

And I swear on my honor as a sinner
And I swear that I’ll never make the same mistake again
And I swear on my fragile human nature
That I’ll only let you down when the words come back around on me

Once you said you thought the world of me
Or was that something you would feign?
Used to think I had ability
Before I poured it down the drain

Put me under oath

And I swear on my honor as a sinner
And I swear that I’ll never make the same mistake again
And I swear on my fragile human nature
That I’ll only let you down when the words come back around on me

And I swear on my honor as a sinner
And I swear that I’ll never make the same mistake again
And I swear on my fragile human nature
That I’ll only let you down when the words come back around

And I swear on my honor as a sinner
And I swear that I’ll never make the same mistake again
And I swear on my fragile human nature
That I’ll only let you down when the words come back around
Yeah, I’ll only let you down when the words come back around on me
On me
