Beacon 03:47
Where do we begin You think you’re lost my friend Started at the end Where the water meets the wind And over waves I’ll try to show the way keep You sound & safe Might not ever see your face I know a place where you can go Somewhere I may never know but It’s out there, I believe it Look for the afterglow over The undertow That pulls you to these stones and Let it lead you I might not know your pain But I won’t let that change The color of my flame Who knows the reason Some times we’re the boat And some times we’re the beacon Maybe you’re right You’ve lost the will to fight Sinking might sound nice but I Promise that’s a lie So don’t give up Know that you are loved know That you’re enough and even When it’s rough Let’s set our sights out there beyond where We’ve been dreaming all along Where the light meets the horizon Look for the afterglow over The undertow That pulls you to these stones and Let it lead you I might not know your name But I won’t let that change the Color of my flame Who knows the reason Some times we’re the boat And some times we’re the beacon Look for the afterglow over The undertow That pulls you to these stones and Let it lead you I might not know your name But I won’t let that change the Color of my flame Who knows the reason Some times we’re the boat And sometimes we don’t know that Some times we’re the boat And sometimes we’re the beacon

I need a backbone Wanna remind myself that I can dig out of this hole I need a way home Do what I do but I don’t want to have to do it alone I need to stay awake So I can take all the time that I need a backbone I need a backbone Yah I know that when I break I’ll go deeper I won’t scream But I won’t whisper Breathe in deep Heartbeat slower Cause when I crack it’s not over Can’t shut down I stay open 24 hours for one moment Breathe in deep Heartbeat slower Cause when I crack it’s not over I’m on the defense Trying to save myself from going straight out of my mind Don’t know what hell is But if I did I’d probably know half the people in line I had to will myself to pass the test and Prove that I’m not too broken to let go I need a backbone Yah I know that when I break I’ll go deeper I won’t scream But I won’t whisper Breathe in deep Heartbeat slower Cause when I crack it’s not over Can’t shut down I stay open 24 hours for one moment Breathe in deep Heartbeat slower Cause when I crack it’s not over Cuz I know I’m so hard on myself Cause I’m too afraid to fail Keep my heart on a shelf till I’m capable of bending Cuz I know Cuz I know When I break I’ll go deeper I won’t scream But I won’t whisper Breathe in deep Heartbeat slower Cause when I crack it’s not over Can’t shut down I stay open 24 hours for one moment Breathe in deep Heartbeat slower Cause when I crack it’s not over When I break I’ll go deeper I won’t scream But I won’t whisper Breathe in deep Heartbeat slower Cause when I crack it’s not over

Up tight I wanna let (it) go Don’t cry It not that easy Head up It could be criminal to Find hope For a day Take my eyes off the road take My hands off the wheel just Need somewhere to go just Need something to feel All these thoughts in my mind Wanna throw them away To be young and in love in the mess that we made Ooo To be young and in love in the mess that we made Oooo To be young and in love in the mess that we made Don’t stop Work for a living and Call it day I'm stuck Just wanna give in Stop running away Take my eyes off the road take My hands off the wheel just Need somewhere to go just Need something to feel All these thoughts in my mind Wanna throw them away To be young and in love with the mess that we made Ooo Nothing is certain Oooo But I know what it’s worth To be young and in love in the mess that we made To be young and in love in the mess that we made Nothing is certain But I wanna keep going

This is me telling me something this Is me trying not to fight it wish I Knew where this was going Wish I could stay right in the moment Sudden changes Hoping Dive in I don’t need a sign Just an open wide Yah we have tonight Don’t need to read your mind Maybe what comes next Could be heaven sent but We’re not there yet and What if I miss it I don’t wanna wake up Wondering what we could be I Don’t want give up On this possibility But This is me feeling disheartened this Is me bringing my baggage Even though I know we just started this is Me asking if you’ll have it On the possibility

Modern Man 03:34
Sucker punch to the side sometimes I cry Got my head and my heart learning how to walk it in time I know I could let it go let someone take control And just go for the ride I want you know I’m a modern man yeah I’ve seen enough to know who I am But some days I don’t understand It’s not as clear as the back of my hand I cant steady my emotion Don’t know where I’m going I know Trying to stay to open deeper than the ocean I know I’m a modern man yeah Caught in my mind I’m weighing it out There’s a thought I should hide over thinking Drowning in doubt I know I could let it go let someone take control And we’ll go for a ride I am trying to be more than I was before I was before I am before

My Revival 03:44
I was looking for way, for a way out the Only one that I can (I can) see is a long Way down Listening to the echo of my shout, drowned out lost in The sea It's harder to know which Way you should go When you’re pleasing everybody I was looking for a way.. For a way out, for Sometime now This is my revival I won’t be discouraged Wherever my heart is I won’t keep it guarded this Is my survival I don’t plan on stopping my Spirits never dropping this is My revival This is my revival Some how I was I here but I was missing It's silly how for so long I was So afraid What a way to find out what I’m Made of To try and believe Its easy to be Behind keys and a screen With a take on everybody Some how I was here But I was missing Well This is my revival I won’t be discouraged Wherever my heart is I won’t keep it guarded this Is my survival I don’t plan on stopping my Spirits never dropping this is My revival This is my revival At the top until you fall Thinking that you had it all Wishing you could runaway It will come and it will go And just when you’ll never know Trust me I’ve been there, I know Well This is my revival I was born to do this However my hope is I won’t let you crush it This is my revival I won’t be discouraged Wherever my heart is I won’t keep it guarded this Is my survival I don’t plan on stopping my Spirits never dropping this is My revival This is my revival

To Be Human 03:34
I’m crashing like a wave onto the shore All washed up and it feels like nobody knows me anymore I Won’t Let go If you Say so But don’t know how much more I can take It’s so hard to be human Solo on a tightrope hanging On high note Even somebody who’s got everything knows that Falling apart is just part of the dream So don’t wake me up until all of the winners are losing it’s So hard to be human Get so high that my feet can’t find the floor Every little hit hurts just a little bit more Than the hit before been Forever since We were innocent Yea I remember that feeling Don’t know how much more I can take Oh gimme somewhere to go and I’ll go where the hurt don’t feel the same

Fading 04:13
I hold back Like I’m always in battle lock The hatch Cuz I’m always afraid Want to fight But sometimes I feel fragile Like my dad I wish I were brave Oh my love, my love The waves are coming at me Now I see, I see the tide Why do we stay here In this moment when The windows they Keep closing and the Daylight Is fading So fast How do you know that in The moment When you’re breaking You’ll break open that The hurting Will be worth it and Won’t last That it’s Fading Past is past Gotta leave it behind you Can’t go fast When you’re looking that way You're running away, you’re running away But you’re Not your mistakes Not your mistakes Oh Know you’re not alone Why do we stay here In this moment when The windows they Keep closing and the Daylight Is fading So fast How do you know that in The moment When you’re breaking You’ll break open that The hurting Will be worth it and Won’t last That it’s Fading All my life my life The waves are coming at me Now I see, I see the tide All my life my life Thought somebody would be save me But I guess That job is mine Why do we stay here In this moment when The windows they Keep closing and the Daylight Is fading So fast How do you know that in The moment When you’re breaking You’ll break open that The hurting Will be worth it and Won’t last That it’s Fading

Yeah I like to live my life like a novel keep Filling pages up ’til it’s all full But I don’t understand how I got here again at The end of another chapter I like to live my life like it’s novel But I’m getting older Like my bones are about to break And time is getting younger Like the seasons, we’re meant to change But the distance between where I want to be And where I am right now It looks so open wide it Makes me feel behind I guess that’s getting older in a modern time I grew up somewhere on a dead end Sometimes a solid ground can still cave in ‘Cause I came and I saw from these deep canyon walls to The waves as they roll off the ocean Now I found myself somehow at a dead end Yeah I’m getting older Like my bones are about to break And time is getting younger Like the seasons, we’re meant to change But the distance between where I want to be And where I am right now It looks so open wide it Makes me feel behind I guess that’s getting older in a modern time I know I’ll find a way To find what I’ve needed to say The pain can’t be erased Just leave it on the page Yeah I’m getting older And my hair is growing thin and I’m Not getting any younger Ya it always comes around again And the distance between where I want to be And where I am right now It looks so open wide I Feel so far behind I guess that’s getting older in a modern time Yeah that’s getting older in a modern time

Feels like no time all when I Could see it all Wish I had known myself back then My hometown sleeps at night but I Left it to find And I would do it all again Cuz I I’m Looking for piece of me that I Want to release I can’t look back Cuz it still reminds me everywhere I Go (Yeah) it always finds me I’m living on the edge But I still know where I’m from I’m running fast leave it All behind me these city Lights They might always blind me I’m living on the edge But I still know where I’m from Wish I had told myself Be like nobody else It’s not something you control Don’t lose your innocence Don’t need it to make sense Not what you have but who you hold Cuz I I’m tracing lines and past regret that I, want to forget I can’t look back Cuz it still reminds me No matter where I go it Always finds me I’m living on the edge But I still know where I’m from I’m running fast leave it All behind me these city Lights They might always blind me I’m living on the edge But I still know where I’m from

about

"BEACON" is an album that represents a culmination of MORGXN's artist career; the seminal work.

On creating the record, MORGXN wrote: I’m someone who has found their voice later in life. I marvel at those with confidence in every step. That hasn’t been my journey. The day my dad passed - Sept 1, 2015 - I grabbed a blank journal and I quickly jotted down the singular word: backbone. 7 years later I may have found its meaning. Was I looking for one? Was I trying to create one? Was I commenting on a lack of spine I see? Or was I merely reflecting a deep hope to find my power in a world that will give me every chance to doubt myself. That is where our journey begins. I sang about ‘Home’ for about 6 years before I actually moved home to Nashville. The irony feels both poetic and powerful. It took letting it all go - the dream, the vision, the fear - and living back in the place where most of my demons started. I knew that coming home was going to be about confronting the parts of my past that still feel tender and moving in the direction of a life that had a bit more structure.

Joseph Campbell’s “the hero’s journey” lays out this template for a hero across time and place. I for once put myself in the hero’s seat of my own story and rode it home. I discovered a backbone, I discovered love, and I mostly discovered that the journey is the destination. Sometimes you know where you’re going and sometimes you’re lost but either way you’re in it and that’s where life happens.
