Skyline
02:03
|

Where do you go?
When the place you lay your head is your home
The place that you were raised is not the same
The faces and the names have all changed
I want you to stay and I need you to stay
Where the skyline isn't mine
Things they always change over time
I always come back but never stay
There's nothing for me here anyway
I want you to stay and I need you to stay

Bloodlines

What makes you think we’re not the same
Who led you to place all of the blame
On someone’s colour that you’ve never seen
What makes you better, tell us the truth
We need more than violence as the proof
Can’t back it up that’s how it’s always been
I don’t understand the lies you’ve built
Cut any arm and the blood that’s spilled
Bleeds red no matter who it is
Does it make you feel more like a man
To hate someone from another land
Ignorance has always held us back
Everyone’s the fucking same
Privilege is the real face of the game
Spread lies, fear and hate without recourse
I don’t understand the lies you’ve built
Cut any arm and the blood that’s spilled
Bleeds red no matter who it is
Does this hate, burn you up inside
Ignorance is bliss and you believe all of their lies
What makes you, so afraid in life
Can't hate yourself, and can't deny, your bullshit sense of pride
I don’t understand the lies you’ve built
Cut any arm and the blood that’s spilled
Bleeds red no matter who it is
No matter where it is

Heaven
02:15
|
|||
|
We all want to get to heaven
But we’re all afraid to die
We all want to get to heaven
What if it’s all a lie?
According to statistics
I’m over halfway done
Truth be told like a lot us
I didn’t think I’d live this long
We want to get to heaven
But we’re all afraid to die
Believe there’s something out there
But what if it’s all a lie
Not always in a straight line
But I’ve made it here this far
There’s no way out no second act
And then time comes for us all
We want to get to heaven
But we’re all afraid to die
Believe there’s something out there
But what if it’s all a lie
We want to get to heaven
But we’re all afraid to die
Believe there’s something out there
That we don’t even question why
Don’t question why
We want to get to heaven
But we’re all afraid to die
You can believe there’s something out there
But don’t even question why
Don’t question why!

Sometimes I dream of being anyone but me
Looking at the strangers face staring back at me
In the dream I am another man
Forgetting all I was forgetting who I am
There is no hill that never ends
It goes and goes up high my friend
And if you make it to the other side
Don’t look back and just be thankful you’re alive
The choices made, all the mistakes, the time I gave
Knowing I’m the one, the one, the one I had to save
And I can’t trust the person staring back me
I’m not the person that everybody sees
There is no hill that never ends
It goes and goes up high my friend
And if you make it to the other side
Don’t look back and just be thankful you’re alive
I look in the mirror and it all just falls apart
When all I see is just a mask playing a part
That mask is mine and I’m smiling through it all
Still holding on because I just can’t let it fall

Better World
03:24
|
|||
|
I lost my resistance, making room for a relapse, much needed, again
You’re too mindful, ALL your worries start to overwhelm
We can explode, fools focus, lost in everything
Wasted years on fears I forgot
Crash course in momentum, new desire intention to
Make me a better world again
Broken thoughts go
Reseed to furnish you
Wasted years on fears I forgot
Onward move!
Everyday I remind myself to
Rethink - Use
Turn attention to everything wanted
Now we’re ready to see this
ALL our wonder turns off overwhelm
We won’t explode
New focus
The I’s in everything
Losing fears of years of time gone
Codified are conventions
New desire intention to
Make me a better world again
Broken thoughts go
Reseed to furnish you
Dropping years of fears of time gone
Onward move!
Everyday I remind myself to
Rethink - Use.
Turn attention to everything wanted
My gnosis is already built in
Come pull me out of you!
Memory glues ALL scenes before you
I stopped trying to define you
Got wise to the lies of misery
Now I’m taking my head back
To reset, to reason, for me
Images now, clear path before you
I stopped trying to define you
To reset, to reason, for me
I stopped trying to define you

SCCS
02:26
|

|
When we’re together it’s never wrong
In this together and there’s nothing quite as strong
Protect each other when we fall
Our backs against the wall, stronger than them all
I don’t want anybody else
Across the world with the windows down
Music playing everyday in this long forgotten town
No destination no place too far
When all is said and done, just show them all our scars
I don’t want anybody else

Angry Man
03:17
|
|||
|
I'm still an angry man but I don't want to be
Sometimes the rage it just comes out of me
But I'll be alone so one can see
That I’m not the man that I want to be
But I'll disappear again and settle down
Plant my feet firmly down, down on the ground
You'll never find me, you'll never see
And I'll stay the man you think that I can be
But it’s not your fault it's not this town
I'll still be searching for where I’m bound
But I'll disappear again and settle down
Plant my feet firmly down, down on the ground

Dedicated To
01:54

Running down a dream
Something I learned today
Cover me up and you can't bring me down
Cold feelings and when the doves cry
I’m out of step with the chesterfield kings
Dedicated to
Walk the line and sitting in the waiting room
Prototypes and now I'm dancing on my own
You’re preaching to the converted
With the sun still shining over the James
Dedicated To
I ain’t never satisfied, living on the moon
Nailbiter and get me outta my head
What will remain, I just want to hear the simple things
It's night like these, don’t go!
Dedicated to

Nice Knowing You
01:49
|
|||
|
Behind it, you edit, you sound so smart
Lie to them, lie to yourself, your brain not your heart
Be real, own up
You are a fake
I want you to say it
Say it to my face
Sorry I’m an asshole but you knew that
Why’s it so surprising what did you expect?
Be real own up
You are a fake
I want you to say it
Say it to my face
How many friends will it take before you learn?
Take your fingers off the keys
Stop staring at the screen
Look at the all the damage you've done
Have you ever made someone cry?
At your words, there’s no reply
Safe at home, you're nothing but a joke
Malicious intent with no regard
Look me in the eyes
Don't cower in the dark
Nice knowing you my friend
Were words I never said
But by now we know the end
Say it to my face

Toujours Seule
03:23
|
|||
|
It’s the end of the night and
I'm all alone
No one around but I hear
The constant chatter
Looking up to grey skies
Listening to the noise
Walking around I don't see
Anyone I know
The lights are so bright to my eyes
My mind won't follow
Looking around for the key
Lit up like a diamond
The window over to the sea
But I'm tied and I'm bound
Looking up to grey skies
Listening to the noise
Words written in to my skin
A constant reminder
Of people and places I've seen
Now that I've found her
Reminder

Last Call
03:28
|
|||
|
Last call for what has to be said
Last chance before the night ends
And the day breaks
When the sun comes out
The feelings may change
The truth, half-truths, or flat out lies
What has to be said will be hidden again
So drink up and speak your mind
Confused
Looking around
Walking down in circles
And the cowardice
The late night regret
Couldn’t see it coming
The truth, half-truths, or flat out lies
What has to be said will be hidden again
So drink up and speak your mind
Honesty sight unseen
You’re the only one who knows what’s real
Like the mornings hazy view
I can’t separate, separate the truth
Honesty sight unseen
You’re the only one who knows what’s real
Like the mornings hazy view
I can’t separate the truth

Acetylene
03:11
|
|||
|
How did I become so cold
Pushed you away with just one glance
No second thought, no second chance
Light me up like that acetylene
Torch you turned on for you and for me
So bright to my eyes that I couldn’t see
That you were always there for me
You were there when I came back
You held me close, you never asked
Told me everything would be okay
And I believed you on that day
When you feel weak I'll be your strength
And if you're lost I'll light the way
I'll offer hope when you're in doubt
Won't let you burn up or burn out

Out Of The Woods
02:30
|
|||
|
The timing wasn’t right
Is it us or in my mind
I’ve been here before
And I don’t want to anymore
For what it’s worth
Taken in stride
My love is like a virus
And I don’t want to make you cry
Well I’ve never been too good
And no you’re not a fucking answer
I used to be a better person
But now I’m falling down again
Passing time, living in my mind
Give it a year, and I’ll be fine
Killing time, really in my mind
Give it a year, I’ll be fine
Falling, I’m falling, I’m falling again
Only pretending to reach out my hand
This isn’t what I want
And this can’t be what you need
Holding you tight
But I still can’t sleep at night
