“Get Me Out Of Here”
There is a culture I no longer believe in
Thought police posing as my friends
They’ll tell you who you are, what offends them
They’ll tell you everything ain’t as good as it used to be
Well, well, well...
Well I’m getting out
I’m getting out
Get me outta here!
Maybe we need to learn to listen
Maybe we’ll develop empathy
Don’t tell me who I am, what offends me
I promise you everything’s better than it used to be.
Well, well, well...
Well I’m getting out
I’m getting out
Get me outta here.
Sometimes that’s how it goes
Sometimes you just don’t know
Sometimes you gotta go
Sometimes you gotta go to know
Sometimes, oh sometimes...

“My Wise Friend”
How will know if you never go?
You gotta give yourself a chance.
I know that it’s hard,
we wear our battle scars.
The future is your second act,
as you’ll learn for yourself.
How can you grow
if you never show a little vulnerability?
I’m accountable,
the only way, you know,
but I can’t rewrite old history.
as you’ll learn for yourself.
What cannot be taught by anybody else,
learn for yourself.
We all make mistakes,
sometimes hearts will break.
We will always share the moon.
She sees everything.
New stories will begin.
You will learn to love again,
as you’ll learn for yourself.
What cannot be taught by anybody else,
learn for yourself.
Escape your fresh hell.
Liberate yourself
from your prison cell.
Learn for yourself.
Escape your fresh hell.
Let everybody else
carry empty shells.

Searchlights

Remember when we were kids?
We’d put those records on,
lie there on your bed,
hold hands and sing along
with glow in the dark stars above our heads.
I still remember every single word you said.
When you close your eyes
all that you’ll see
is everything you’re not
and all you’ll never be.
When you’re gone
these lungs still breathe.
Broken hearts and searchlights out at sea
Felt like midwinter’s day
when you turned and walked away.
I still remember the look strapped to your face.
If i knew then just what I know now
I’d make the same mistakes,
I’d still let you down.
When you close your eyes
all that you’ll see
is everything you’re not
and all you’ll never be.
When you’re gone
these lungs still breathe.
Broken hearts and searchlights out at sea.

It’s 3am and I’m awake,
gotta be at work for 8.
I’m lying listening
to the rain just battering
off my broken window pane,
telling me I need to change.
I can’t keep running away,
only got myself to blame.
Surprised myself thinking
“it’ll be alright”.
Caught myself thinking
"it’s worth the fight”.
Found myself screaming
into the night “I’m okay”.
We’re okay.
I’ve been separating friends
from acquaintances again.
I’m sick of listening
to people who can’t even
separate their point of view
from actually what’s true.
No open minds, just eyes.
I guess that I’m the strange one.
Surprised myself thinking
“it’ll be alright”.
Caught myself thinking
“it’s worth the fight”.
Found myself screaming
into the night “I’m okay".
We’re okay.
