Fault Lines 05:02
Take me down to river we gave up our hearts and let them drown We know that we are better off without the things that we held back Yesterday we were blinded by the blood we spilt upon your grave But you washed us clean in the river we gave up our hearts for greater things So finish it off The pain one day stops We’re sick and we’re poor without something more The more I find I don’t want anything to do with all these old fault lines Cause they’re giving out and soon the river where we gave our hearts will soon be dried out So finish it off The pain one day stops We’re giving it up I’m giving it up So finish it off The pain one day stops Your hand never leaves me

Every heart bleeds every heart dies but I just don’t know why the physical pain darkens the light we twist and we turn then die oh, you know I can’t save you when your body betrays you there’s not much I can do Dark in the night the strigiformes fly they silently seek the light The fox and the hound learn how to survive and so might you try oh, you know I can’t save you when the darkness betrays you oh, there’s not much I can do There’s not much I can do

Heartbeat 03:55
Don’t you worry darling I’ll find ways to make your dreams come alive Never say the day’s come and gone we can build our kingdom in time If I still hear a heartbeat tonight heart beat inside heart beat tonight I still hear a heartbeat tonight heart beat inside heart beat tonight Days and weeks and years will go by but you’re still making life with those eyes fear and terror won’t drag you down we can turn this old ship around When my time comes and goes I will still let you know you are worth more to me than any of my heart beats than any of my heart beats

I can’t believe that every time I get this down, I lose my feet I don’t know why but every day You’re not around I question things Hiding in the dark It only gets colder the further that you walk And as you go further you lose your way back home you ask for directions but no one will let you know no one will let you know I can’t believe that all this time I let you down for little things I cannot hear the words you say You’re not alone but your heart is weak

I Ran Away 05:11
You called me out up from my grave I heard your voice I saw your face You returned the life I lost that day Air in my lungs blood in veins Will I ever try again to run away even after all you did to lead the way will I ever lose the need for your embrace even after all you did to lead the way You walked me down the road to grace held out your hand and looked away the choice was mine to run or stay I never thought I’d hesitate Will I ever try again Even after all you did Will I ever lose the need Even after all you did to lead the way But I’ll hold you close and I won’t let go You are all I need You are everything

Locked Doors 05:01
I’ve got a long way to go but I don’t know If time will pass fast or pass slow no I don’t and between the lines I get lost on the inside but outside the lines there you are the whole time But I won’t let it stop me from living no I won’t Just please let me see for a minute where you are Where you are I walked through a door that was open and it locked aand suddenly I started wishing I had not In a room filled with painful decisions I was stuck In a room filled with terrible visions there I was I peeked through a hole in the wall and I could see My life from beginning to end every scene And there you were standing beside me all the time Every line, every door, every minute, all my life But I’ve got a long way to go and I’ve got a long way to go
7.
Please 04:25
Am I the man I said I’d be Please look me in the eyes and tell me what you think Cause I’m not the man I swore I’d be I didn’t know how I had changed eleven years I stayed the same eleven years I ran away now I’m not the man I want to be Eleven years you said to me “I love you more than anything” but I love myself like you loved me now I’m crawling on the floor and asking will you please Look me in the eyes tell me what you see cause I have lost my sight Will you please
8.
Run Dry 03:39
Hold me close don’t hide the light until all my fears inside subside still my heart and clear my mind hold me close tonight Don’t believe don’t buy the lies don’t give up tonight there’s light when all the fear infects the light hold me close tonight You can free my mind Just hold me close tonight I will not run dry

The Mirror 05:45
How could she do this? Running around the town with a ring on her finger looking for love from someone else How could she walk out chasing desire she’ll never fill How could she walk out? When she looks in the mirror Oh she sees, she sees something else How could they do this? Looking for love from anyone Redefining their freedom If it fills up their heart it must be God How could they go out Cause it’s a shame they won’t find love When they turn to their Jesus When they look in the mirror Oh they see, they see something else How could he do this? Driving round town to buy a gun Cause he has the answers The guilty are living all around But he acts like he loves them He buys them a drink and knows their names with his hand on the trigger When he looks in the mirror Oh he sees, he sees something else When I look in the mirror, oh I see, oh I see him When I look in the mirror, oh I see, oh I see them When I look in the mirror, oh I see, oh I see her

See this is how we begin to breathe this is how we were made alive this is how we were made to die Look at the valleys beneath our feet a river flows giving things their strength this is how they were made to survive and all that I can think about is how that I can’t stop what we’ve become and I swear that I’d be fine without the things that made us hate what we’ve become

It’s been a long dark road I’ve been traveling on I feel the dust and dirt under my feet Three years ago I heard your voice from Babylon I heard you say “I’ll come and wash you clean” Wash me clean I’ve seen the darkness show it’s face and look at me I’ve heard the darkness call my name “This roads too long, your hearts not strong, you can’t go on.” I remembered all the words you said “I’ll wash you clean” I can’t go on, I can’t go on like this I can’t be strong, be strong enough for this I smelled the breeze, the summer air washed over me I saw the pines move overhead I heard the music playing softly in the street I felt the rain fall on my hands You breathed new life into these bones and looked at me I felt your hand gently lift up my hand You wiped the dust and dirt from every part of me and I remembered all the words you said.

about

Gatlin Elms Houston

Gatlin Elms is an alternative indie rock singer-songwriter whose lyrical and vocal style has been described as hauntingly hopeful which is contrasted best against the backdrop of anthemic rhythms, swimmy synths, and rich melodies.
