About The Album

About Chasing Butterflies

 People say that when you see a butterfly that it is actually someone you love who has passed on coming to see how you fare in this life. Butterflies provide beauty and hope for those who see them. They always seem to be just out of reach, just beyond what we can hold in our grasp. However, once in a while, if we are lucky, we can hold one for just a moment & it makes our lives that much more beautiful with its presence. Chasing Butterflies the album will be yours on 8/4/23

Chasing Butterflies Tracklist & Lyrics

By The Cliffs feat. Charlotte Hedburg

By The Cliffs feat. Charlotte Hedburg

By The Cliffs feat. Charlotte Hedburg

By the cliffs and the raging sea

There she waits only for me

I’ll find her when the sun is low

When the flash of green releases her soul


Till the moon turns red

…I would wait for her

Till the trees all bled

...I would wait for her

Till we wake the dead

...I’ll be waiting here for her


By the cliffs and the raging sea

I’ll keep my watch vigilantly

Till once again, we two shall meet

I’ll wait for her on bended knee


Till the moon turns red

…I would wait for her

Till the trees all bled

...I would wait for her

Till we wake the dead

...I’ll be waiting here for her 

The Moon & You

By The Cliffs feat. Charlotte Hedburg

By The Cliffs feat. Charlotte Hedburg

Between the moon and you I never stood a chance,

When you looked in my eyes and asked me to dance.

With the stars shining bright against the satin sky,

We were just two hearts beating right in time.


I think I’m falling for you

Under the flower moon

You make me feel brand new

Under the flower moon

I hope you feel this too

Under the pale flower moon


We were just two lost souls living on borrowed time

Then our love took root, blossomed and thrived

We danced away our loneliness and pain

Until we revived, whole again


I think I’m falling for you

Under the flower moon

You make me feel brand new

Under the flower moon

I hope you feel this too

Under this pale flower moon


Dance with me under the stars

Doesn't matter where we are

Whether here or near or far 

I'd dance with you all the way to mars


I think I’m falling for you

Under the flower moon

You make me feel brand new

Under the flower moon

I hope you feel this too

Under this pale flower moon

Revive Me

By The Cliffs feat. Charlotte Hedburg

Fading Light

The vultures circle high

They know I’m dead inside

Revive Me, Revive Me.

Your silhouette, the setting sun

Hearts beat fast, I take the plunge

Revive Me, Revive Me.


No I won’t back down,
No I can’t go now,

You’ve smiled and turned me

Inside out, Inside out.


The calm of your embrace

I’ll never leave this place

Revive me, revive me.

Your eyes pierce through my soul,

I’m scared but you don't bolt

Revive Me, Revive Me.


No I won’t back down,
No I can’t go now,

You’ve smiled and turned me

Inside out, Inside out..


What will our future hold?

I’ll love you till I’m old

You revived me, revived me.


No I won’t back down,
No I can’t go now,

You’ve smiled and turned me

Inside out, Inside out.


I’m revived, back to life.

Fading Light

Dust & Bones feat. Mitch Cox & BCHMK

Fading Light

I've got miles on my soul

But when i’m with you 

I don’t feel so old

You make me feel brand new

I’m best when i’m with you 


We passed our shadows in the fading light

Stayed up all night till the sky was bright

we laughed and talked till the day was new

Watched the sun rise on the morning dew 


I’ve got worries on my mind

But when i’m with you

I can unwind 

You make me feel brand new

I’m best when I’m with you 


We passed our shadows in the fading light

Stayed up all night till the sky was bright

we laughed and talked till the day was new

Watched the sun rise on the morning dew


Time flies by when you're around

You make me smile without a sound

When I was lost -

you said I was found. 


We passed our shadows in the fading light

Stayed up all night till the sky was bright

we laughed and talked till the day was new

Watched the sun rise on the morning dew

Temptress

Dust & Bones feat. Mitch Cox & BCHMK

Dust & Bones feat. Mitch Cox & BCHMK

Her hair is black - as dark as sin

Her lips a deep merlot

Her soft green eyes invite me in

And I just have to go


She’s a temptress-

And I’m tempted,

Man, She gets it,

I’m fuckin tempted,

Temptress-

And I love it,

How she does it,

I really love it.


Her skin is pale, a pearly white

Her voice as rough as the sea

As she says to me under moonlight

“Nothing Comes for Free”


She’s a temptress-

And I’m tempted,

Man, She gets it,

I’m fuckin tempted,

Tempress-

And I love it,

How she does it,

I really love it.


I’d sell my soul, renounce my name

Pack up and leave my life behind

For nothing would ever be the same

Without her by my side 


She’s a temptress-

And I’m tempted,

Man, She gets it,

I’m fuckin tempted,

Tempress-

And I love it,

How she does it,

I really love it.

Dust & Bones feat. Mitch Cox & BCHMK

Dust & Bones feat. Mitch Cox & BCHMK

Dust & Bones feat. Mitch Cox & BCHMK

Standing in the dark - I almost see you

The pain still sharp - Where once there were two

All that’s left is dust and bones

The hollow emptiness that used to be home

There’s no fixing what we broke

I’ve lost you to shadow


I see you through the wind & rain

I can’t be near when you get this way

What once was love is now just shame

You used to be the spark inside my veins 


You say you see me but you don't 

you left me here all on my own 

empty hearts in an empty home

it's all gone up in smoke 

Now I'm here alone

there's no fixing what we broke

And there's no coming home 


I see you through the wind & rain

I can’t be near when you get this way

What once was love is now just shame

You used to be the spark inside my veins 


I see you through the wind & rain

I can’t be near when you get this way

What once was love is now just shame

You used to be the spark inside my veins 


I'm right here 

You’re not here

I'll dry your tears 

I don’t have any tears for you

Nothing to fear

Nothing but fear 

When I'm right here 

Get away from here


I see you through the wind & rain

I can’t be near when you get this way

What once was love is now just shame

You used to be the spark inside my veins 

1:17 feat. Karrin Estes

1:17 feat. Karrin Estes

1:17 feat. Karrin Estes

Its 1:17 I can't get to sleep 

My brain tells me it's not that deep

Do they even like me or is it all just fake?

Will the voice in my head ever go away?

Will everything really turn out?

Should I just quit right now? 


I don't know my own thoughts

Can't control my own mind

When I look in the mirror

I just want to hide but

A voice from deep down 

Inside says don’t hold back 

I have nothing to hide


It’s 5 am and I still can’t sleep

Doesn’t matter if they say that I’m weak

Don't disappoint them all

You gotta make that call

Make sure they don't see you fall 

It took the dark to find out

Now the lost can be found 


Gotta keep it steady

Gotta keep it real

I see the look in your eye

You know how I feel


Gotta keep it steady

Gotta keep it real

I see the look in your eye

You know how i feel


I don't know my own thoughts

Can't control my own mind

When i look in the mirror

I just want to hide but

A voice from deep down 

Inside says don’t hold back 

I have nothing to hide


Fade Away

1:17 feat. Karrin Estes

1:17 feat. Karrin Estes

These old bones sing

They tell us a story

Of all of the lives that lived before me

The crack in the window

The water spot ceiling

The creaking old floor

It gives me strange feelings


Your presence surrounds us  

You still live inside

We follow your light

And when we grow old and fade away

Your lessons live on in those who stay


These old bones sing

They tell us a story

Of all those that have passed before me

The rock in the garden

The rusty door handle

The vines on the wall,

The flickering candle 


Your presence surrounds us 

You still live inside

We follow your light

And when we grow old and fade away

Your lessons live on in those who stay


Your presence surrounds us - You still live inside

We follow your light

And when we grow old and fade away

Your lessons live on in those who stay

Change

1:17 feat. Karrin Estes

Bright Idea

I saw this coming from 100 miles away 

The end we always knew would come one day

But it's still harder than my heart can take 

You've changed me 


Wanna be thankful that I have you to miss 

How can I be thankful when it feels like this

I wanna be happy you're moving on 

I've never known friendships so strong 


I saw this coming from 100 miles away 

I know you're only just a call away 

But it's still harder than my heart can take 

You've changed me 


I know that this is for the best 

It doesn't stop the cracking in my chest

I know the sun will still shine 

I'd be lying if I said I was fine 


I saw this coming from 100 miles away

The end we always knew would come someday

But I'm not ready for the final take 

You've changed me


You taught me love is only love when the heart has choice, 

You taught me to speak loud and to raise my voice,

You showed me everything I could be and more

Then I had to watch you walk out the door 


I saw this coming from 100 miles away 

The end we knew would always come some day

But now that day is here, that day's today 

And you've changed me 

Bright Idea

Spilled Coffee

Bright Idea

I’m still waiting for my bright idea

It hasn’t really come by yet

I’m sure it's on its way right now

darlin’ don’t you fret


It seems like everybody else is a genius

These guys all say they got it made,

While I’m stuck playing basement venues

-not even getting paid.


Oh well- that’s fine

waiting for my train & it passed right by

all their stars are shining bright

I’ll sit here and watch them shine.


I’m still waiting for my big break

It always seems just out of reach

But I won’t let that get me down

got good views on the street


Everybody else thinks they're a genius

They still think they got it made,

And I’ll play my basement venue

Life’s worth more than getting paid.


Oh well- that’s fine

I was waiting for my train but it passed me by

While all their stars are shining bright

I’ll sit here and watch the sky. 

Supernova

Spilled Coffee

Spilled Coffee

might collapse in on myself like a dying star

But darling it’ll be beautiful

I’ll shine like glitter, I’ll light up the sky

With my last dying breath I’ll show you the light.


Strung high and on fire for the world to see

On the front lines is where you'll find me

All it takes is one small spark

For the fire to spread and light up the dark


I might not live to see another sunrise

But light will dawn in the east again

I’ll go out in glory, I’ll light up the dark

With my last moments here I’ll leave my mark


Strung high and on fire for the world to see

On the front lines is where my body will be

All it takes is one small spark

For the fire to spread and light up the dark

Spilled Coffee

Spilled Coffee

Spilled Coffee

Endless cities

Endless days

Endless nights 

In this endless space

Without a gaze upon your face

I can't go on I can't escape


I’ll live in the dark to bring you the light

I’ll face all your demons so you don’t cry

I’ll cut my arm so you don’t have to bleed 

I’ll fade out of existence if that's what you need 


Endless cities

Endless days

Endless nights 

In this endless space

Without a gaze upon your face

I can't go on I can't escape


I’ll go up in flames to keep you warm

I’ll battle the winds, keep you safe from the storm

I’ll give you my eyes if you say you can’t see

I’ll be bound in chains if it means you are free


Endless cities

Endless days

Endless nights 

In this endless space

Without a gaze upon your face

I can't go on I can't escape


Nothing is lost and nothing is gained

I’ll keep you safe, you keep me sane

Nothing is lost and nothing is gained

You are my saving grace


Endless cities

Endless days

Endless nights 

In this endless space

Without a gaze upon your face

I can't go on I can't escape

Thank you to everyone who made this album possible
