Can't Wait to See the Bottom 03:36
lyrics
Falling on my own Just like I've been Shown For days I can't see the bottom Taking every weight, Catching every stone, I can't wait, Can't wait to see the bottom Pressures building up Anticipation stays I did'nt catch my thoughts Running away I've gotta take them captive I've grown distracted Realising that I fell, I can catch myself I reach out, Those close are falling too They lend the hand of no hope, Falling in a que I'm writhing in the air Growing wings to fly But i'm only human Destined for the bottom Always looking in Never looking up Never seeking God I'm seeking myself Devil's decieved I willingly dove For the promise of the world You can catch yourself You can catch yourself You can catch yourself Finding safety in my own arms, I can't wait for you anymore.

So Skillful 03:45
lyrics
Satisfaction has a pull, It's gravity so gentle, Lying to my empty part, saying "Your desires will deliver" "Your ambitions satisfy" "Find peace in creativity" My skills are empty, House building using snakes skin. I'm the foundation But I blow in the wind. Skills are full of promise They grow ambition But what good are unkept promises? So convincing, pulling my will My passions push me screaming that my own flare will fill This deep want for satisfaction, I can't find it still! Trying to rest in my own skill. People praise the works of my hands, Demand that i'm born for higher things, Maybe I am... Higher than Church and yearning souls, Higher than "not my will, but yours" The strength of my own hands. So convincing, pulling my will My passions push me screaming that my own flare will fill This deep want for satisfaction, I can't find it still! Cause I'm not resting in you! I'm resting in my own will!

Daddy's Coming Darling 02:28
lyrics
You pack in all in, You've gone over the edge. They've squeesed you right out, now there's no moisture left. You've broken down, you've gone off the road. Now Daddy's gonna come, gonna drive you back home. The words felt like daggers as they angled at you, But the people why spoke them could not feel through, the handle that sheltered their hand from the blade, But Daddy's got a sword that keeps daggers away. You're stronger than me, you know me. You'll never send me away when I'm lonley. "Just a little bit more, It's so close to the end!" But you tell me "Be still", now it's time to mend. You've come here before, but I pushed you away from me. Pick me up and drag me when I'm screaming! Tell me that it's fine to waste your time and that you want me. Daddy, teach me not to run away from your loving arms! Oh! You're stronger than me, you know me. You'll never send me away when I'm lonley. "Just a little bit more, It's so close to the end!" But you tell me "Be still", now it's time... You're stronger than me, you know me. You'll never send me away when I'm lonley. "Just a little bit more, It's so close to the end!" But you tell me "Be still", now it's time to mend.

about

This is happening. But! I need your help with CD Production, Mastering, Marketing, Distribution and a Tour!

'The Struggler and the Steadfast Rock' are a collection of conversations. Me to God. God to Me. This is a dialogue of wavering doubts and unshakable steadfastness. I hope these songs help you to verbalise your heart to God. I also pray these songs are vessels for God to speak back.

ALL donations receive an instant download of 3 Struggler/Steadfast pre-recordings. (Not to be released anywhere else!)

Donations over $50 get a signed CD and free digital download a week before the release date.

Donations over $100 ALSO get a LIMITED EDITION 'JARYD-STRUGGLER' MUG. Thats right. You have the once in a lifetime chance to have a mug with my face on it.

The HIGHEST donation gets all of the above, AND a song written for them to be played on the night of the album launch.
