Lost It All 04:06
Lost It All Looking down this only road again Heading out and flowing with the wind Nowhere in this life did I believe Trudging down this only path to free I almost lost it all I almost lost it all Don’t you ever seem to think it lasts? Forever in this seeming endless path Realizing time is common ground There’s a choice to what’s to be unbound When there’s something always wrong With you… and it’s time to blame your faults When you start to make your call Ends you… and it’s all been all your fault
2.
Time 03:26
TIME I lost the time, Just the other day I lost my mind, just another way Finding my way all across the state Losing the will just to stay awake… Just to stay awake… And I lost all the time Cause I feel out of mind She will be not of mine Cause I know there’s no sign I lost my words just the other day Not even knowing what the hell to say I feel the wire rip apart my hands Playing like hell no one understands No one understands My mind is achin’
3.
Complicated Sadness I saw her in the parking lot ‘round midnight There’s something in the way she walks in his eyes The magical appreciation of a time Is nothing like the feeling of that time that passed by Was it something I was dreamin’ What was said? Was it for real? Just the time I hit the ceiling I give up it’s time to kneel It’s a complicated sadness Yeah I’ve seen this one before With a concentrated madness Please leave and shut the door I’m walkin’ in the footsteps of his right mind Just wishin’ he was here to say it’s alright The time it takes to quell the notion of a ghost Is equal to the time I wasted drinking while I wrote

Renegade 03:15
Renegade Jason Chaffee Just cause you believe don't mean a thing Got to raise your point of view But the point of you is nothing really new Make a change release the noose I just want to believe There's no more tragedy here There's nothing left to concede I want to run away Destroy the path I'm paving There's nothing left to concede Ghost's mystery disease in times like these There's nowhere else worth running too This message is received, reluctantly I've got to learn to sit and groove I just wanted to stand up, you don't want to know I don't want to be lined up, you don't want to know I just wanted to stand up, you don't want to know I don't want to be lined up, I don't want to know I don't want to know
5.
Tides 04:03
Tides Do you think I know that you’re coming here to save me Do you wish your face could be a mask that plays me Don’t you know I care when I see your heart is bleeding Come to find I love the feeling of just needing. Don’t you feel like coming home Can’t you see the pain in me It’s the story of alone Find your heart now let it be Be free. My waste, this disgrace My waste, this disgrace…
6.
Going Home 03:19
Going Home Jason Chaffee I'm drifting on a dead man's feeling Head is clouded and I think I stopped breathing There's no other way for this to go Everyone has their way of grieving No one looks cause their all disbelieving This is a mindset all your own There's something going on round' here No one looks and they don't really care We're all just mourning a ghost Please tell me what you think I know Turn around and walk the same way home There's no one here that grows old Feel like going home I'm looking down a one way corridor Trapped inside by invisible borders Fighting traffic is the only thing I know Stubborn eyes and the stares and bleeding Forgetting lies that my life was leading This grief is custom made to go
7.
Fade and Die 03:39
Fade and Die Just look into my blue eyes, you’re the one that’s paralyzed I just know that I’m alive, not to lay down fade and die Fade and die, No I don’t want to survive When no one cries, We’re all here just wonderin why Recreate deserted lies, your stepping stone to craving highs Just pretend that you are here, then you lay down fade and die It’s painful to see all the ignorant ones, casting their guise their words as their guns We sit here and stare cause this is my life, you discount my being my blood on your knife My anger is real without the fear, I Hate your intentions but I wish you were here Cause I’d disarm your ego dismember your will, bludgeon your first born’s idea of hell They don’t deserve forced false intentions-, like backwards equations or faulty inventions We think what we see is somehow for real-, denying known fact is just spinning your wheels Truth of our lives out on the hills, lush with the love of helping to kill The anger, the lies, words are by fire… the only way up is One level higher…
8.
Better Soul 04:10
Better Soul Just don’t be late It’s so cold Just something there that waits till’ you’re old It’s your better soul It’s your better soul Don’t run away that’s so bold Just come to say, that you’re mine, in your way It’s your better soul Yeah your better soul Just your better soul It’s your better soul And you don’t know why But you’re here to stay This is now your life And you’re stuck that way Cause’ there’s no one else That will know your truth So you jump and fly Just to bend the rules What the hell is this song inside Just cause’ you don’t belong in this strange strange place… Called your better soul Yeah your better soul Just your better soul It’s your better soul Something to scar me Something that scorns Something to scar me Something that scorns Something to scar me Something that scorns

about

“Carry Me” is Jason’s debut album and tells a deep personal story of seemingly being born again from ashes.
The first song on the album “Lost It All (Only Road)” sets the precedent for what is to become a personal triumph
over struggles that leave us with no other choice but to pick up our wreckage and try another way.
