Hunting Season
03:45

It was when the rocks spoke to me
Five years already gone
Now the birds gather close to me
To hear my last song
Wings darting between the trees
Like the unknown light on the cavern walls
The string snaps and we’re absorbed
Back into love
CHORUS
The fields are burning
The song’s returning
Like it never did before
The moon is waning
But the stars are singing
Like back when I was young...
When I was young
It’s hunting season again
And the leaves aren’t even red
Give a man a moment to heal
Before he is gone
The string snaps and we’re absorbed
Back into love
Pulled down into the underflow
Dispersed and reborn
CHORUS
BRIDGE
The way the wind moved in the trees
Was lost for years
The subtle undertones of life
Finally are clear

Your Stormy Ways

Your stormy ways
I never want to see you again
The odds are stacked against our minds
The last thing we need is a reason to fight
With you, I thought I’d found the sun
But maybe you just weren’t the one
Staring at me as I cried
I felt your fear, you were ready to bite
I found some freedom in the dark
To leave your lightning in its box
CHORUS
Your stormy ways
I never want to see you again
Your stormy ways
You’re taking everything that you can
You’re out there somewhere causing pain
No lessons learned…
Took a while for the pain to go
The clouds to break, the stars start to show
And so, I listened to the moon
Where she bared this cold, hard truth
CHORUS
Your stormy ways
I never want to see you again
Your stormy ways
You’re taking everything that you can
You’re out there somewhere causing pain
No lessons learned, no stop to the rain

Die in Your Dreams
03:41
|

If what you need
is haunting you
You got to let it go
You gotta cut it loose
If what you breathe
just chokes you blue
Push it away
Move somewhere new
Because I’m not asking for the Gardens, babe
But I need a little more
I won’t stay without the ocean
I won’t stay without the shore
It’s been a tough year for clovers
One is bound to burst
The pain is less depending
On who escapes first
CHORUS
Send the world up in flames
Engrave a headstone in blame
What does it mean
When you die in your dreams?
If what you have
just ain’t the truth
Search it out
Find somewhere good
Because clarity thereafter
Sometimes you can’t mourn
Acting out like eagles
As they dance on the edge of a storm

Beyond the Tide
03:50
|
|||
|
We stand beyond the tide
Cutting strings that twist and bind
If we listen we might find
That the water speaks inside… each mind
To find out who ain’t real
And what is true
Transparency revealed…
The melody returns
It shifts, it lifts, it burns
The chosen ones have heard
All the meaning behind the words
It’s not given, this is earned
To find out who ain’t real
And what is true
Transparency revealed…
...Like the waves
crashing down on you

From Prince George, BC, Isaac has a varied style; he ranges from stripped-down, honest acoustic to dirty beats and samples. "Heart of Hearts" makes mine melt.
