Solutions 03:20
I didn’t know til I said it out loud I had no parachute I jumped right out Falling to pieces I don’t have a plan Putting my life back together again And it’s a complicated mess And it’s one after the next Don’t know how, don’t know how, don’t know how To make it through But when I look at you All I see are solutions All I see are solutions You make it easy Ain’t nothing left to do All I see are solutions All I see are solutions Solutions Starting all over I’m feeling brand new Ain’t climbing mountains i’m making i’m move Oh don’t ask me questions I don’t have a plan Might be alone but I know who I am

Radiate 03:55
Monday morning I'm walking on sunshine Like what's mine is yours, and yours is mine my friend Some things money just can't buy But honey when that well runs dry What's mine is mine, 'cause love won't pay the rent Close the gate, seal the island The inmates, take the asylum Can't escape, the shape i'm in Why play the game, when I can't win Oh I've been keeping my head on straight I know what I've got, and I've got what it takes Worried times gon' come my way I tell 'em shut up and let me radiate Friday night i'm dancing with my baby And it's all peace and love out there tonight He comes dancing next to you And you got your hands on him too Well maybe peace and love, should step outside Close the gate, seal the island The inmates, take the asylum Can't escape, the shape i'm in Why play the game, when I can't win Oh I've been keeping my head on straight I know what I've got, and I've got what it takes Worried times gon' come my way I tell 'em shut up and let me radiate Sunday morning, fold my hands together I'm down on my knees I hang my head In the holiest of holies Lord said keep your mind on glory But I keep thinking 'bout you in my bed Oh I've been keeping my head on straight I know what I've got, and I've got what it takes Worried times gon' come my way C'mon give me something to celebrate Karma karma no I can't change But I know what i got and I got what it takes Worried times gonna come my way I tell 'em shut up and let me radiate

Momma showed me the wrong way With a smile sweet as pie Sugarcoating the lonely Makes you bitter over time Show no fear show no weakness It's a long way down the hall It's a long way to feel nothing at all I'm getting up from the table After all these stolen years I've given all that I'm able Ain't no love being served 'round here It's a question of freedom Every reign comes to an end Sink my feet in the floorboards And watch the universe bend Every new revolution Yeah it's chaos in the stars But the truth is Right here where we are I want love without limits Don't need a house to call it home But I want love to live in it And one day have some children of my own And I want them to know That I put it all on the table After all these stolen years And I've given all that I'm able To make sure love Is being served 'round here

Upstream 03:19
When the road goes right She takes a hard left When I'm taking my time She's all out of breath She's wide awake When all I want is some sleep I wanna float down river She wanna swim upstream So you caught you a wild one Annie Oakley with a loaded gun She's a handful to handle babe Holding a hellcat in a pillowcase Ain't no easy breezy in those angel eyes If it ain't hard to do, it ain't worth trying Ain't no white flag waving, here without a fight Oh she ain't one to kick back and unwind Makes that face like "go cut me a switch" And I pray for mercy Lord make this quick There ain't nothing I wouldn't give Ooh ooh they don't make em like this Ain't no easy breezy in those angel eyes If it ain't hard to do, it ain't worth trying Ain't no white flag waving, here without a fight Oh she ain't one to kick back and unwind When the road goes right She takes a hard left When I'm taking my time She's all out of breath She's wide awake When all I want is some sleep I wanna float down river She wanna swim upstream

Straw Man 03:12
How long into this twilight Must we watch the garden grow Did we make it through the winter Just to stay out in the cold Cuz the mold oh it ain't set quite yet It won't be overnight A good strong wind could do me in It happens all the time Straw man Straw man Straw man Stay away from the fire Stay away from the fire Only time will reap forgiveness So I keep the water close It's too late to go back now darling But too soon to call this home Cause the mold oh it ain't set quite yet It won't be overnight A good strong wind could do me in It happens all the time Straw man Straw man Straw man Stay away from the fire Stay away from the fire Top of the mountain i'm counting up shooting stars Making my way through the shadows i'm Lewis and Clark Planted my flag on the moon it's my victory march But the last lap, got the last laugh Pulled me right back to the start

We are starting to remember Some say how could we forget We are headed for a heaven Lord knows we're not there yet We are starting to remember That our children pay the cost We are opening our bodies We are starting to shake it off We're still living, half asleep, half-illusion, half-disease Cuz I love you, and I trust you, But if I had to, I'd break your fucking teeth Ain't that some real shit If it's down to you and me We're still living, half asleep, half illusion, half a dream Cuz I'll hold you, and i'll help you When it comes down to, I do what's right for me And that's just some real shit It's that animal inside Ain't that some real shit It's the struggle to survive Ain't that some real shit Yeah it's hard out here some time But i'll keep on fighting I've been fighting all my life I've been fighting all my life

I get lost and thrown into the cage Light that smoke that sip that chardonnay Left me weak I wept for 7 days Took me 7 nights to get it straight Moment of truth I'm calling on you Spotlights on come step into the frame Moment of truth I'm counting on you Give me something I can celebrate I get lost and thrown into the well So far down I lose my mental health Pull me up into the light of day Open up and let these rivers rage, rage, rage, rage Moment of truth I'm calling on you Spotlights on come step into the frame Moment of truth I'm counting on you Give me something I can celebrate Wet my lips and bow my head in grace Help me see the things that I can't change Hold my hand and lift this heavy heart Love make me a candle in the dark Moment of truth I'm calling on you Spotlights on come step into the frame Moment of truth I'm counting on you Give me something I can celebrate

Rescue Me 03:39
I've seen fire and I've seen famine I survived my family Friends inside the circle Got some good ones on the team I've called on the devil But i'm damned if I call twice Rather rally heaven Calling angels to my side Like come rescue me I'm going down into the shadows Come rescue me I'm all on my own Come rescue me Lord I'm coming home Come rescue me Come rescue me This rock it is my armor Giving charlemagne a try Every ocean wave a soldier Best of luck against the tide It's the law of nature And we know we toe the line But i'm going out swinging When i leave this world behind Come rescue me I'm going down into the shadows Come rescue me I'm all on my own Come rescue me Lord I'm coming home Come rescue me Come rescue me Fear's the new pollution, too much poison in the pipe Sickness in the system, something funny in the wine We're all sick of something, would it kill you to be kind? Goodness needs a body, I need your medicine in mine Come rescue me I'm going down into the shadows Come rescue me I'm all on my own Come rescue me Lord I'm coming home Come rescue me Come rescue me

I said goodbye, to life on the land High seas were roll-calling I raised my hand Been walking these sidelines much longer than I ever planned Eyes on the hourglass it's time to go There's something familiar in the unknown The ships are all leaving and i'm on the shore Waving my hands Lord I hope they've got room for one more I've seen NYC from high up above I've tried on this empire, it fits like a glove But bringing ambition, is nothing if I can't bring love Eyes on the hourglass it's time to go There's something familiar in the unknown The last train is leaving hey hey hold the door Can't turn back now Lord I hope they've got room for one more Eyes on the hourglass it's time to go There's something familiar in the unknown I took the long way but one day If I get to heaven If I get to heaven If I get to heaven Just hope they've got room for one more

about

"White Buffalo" is the debut album from singer-songwriter Joseph Mach. The album is a departure from his pop-rock roots, blending folk/americana with a touch of motown swagger. Layered keyboards and reverb-soaked harmonies give a nod to Mach's church choir roots, with a rhythm section of some of Austin's finest session players basking in the warmth of vintage tubes. Lyrically, "White Buffalo" is an exploration into the depths of the human spirit, with overarching themes of belonging, vulnerability and survival encountered on the journey down the rabbit hole.
