Long Way Around
04:37
|
|||
|
I’ve been looking for the right direction
Been trying to find my way
Always searching for a strong connection
Somewhere that I can stay
Every path I take gets me nowhere
Everywhere I roam
Seems to take me in the wrong direction
It never feels like home
Where do I begin?
When will I settle down?
Why have I took the long way around
Where do I fit in?
Not just a face in the crowd
Why have I took the long way around
In the quiet no one seems to notice
When you’ve lost the way
I like to be alone, but sometimes it’s lonely
And no one hears what you say
At a crossroad and the signs aren’t showing
Which way that I should go
I’ve left good friends behind and feel so lonely
Still I take it slow
But where do I begin?
When will I settle down?
Why have I took the long way around
Where do I fit in?
Not just a face in the crowd
Why have I took the long way around
But where do I begin?
When will I settle down?
Why have I took the long way around
Where do I fit in?
Not just a face in the crowd
Why have I took the long way around

The Watchtower
04:53

Standing on the watchtower I will be
Looking out across the moonlit sea
Looking at the waves in motion, try to see you out across the ocean
Staring from the watchtower I will be….
Waiting for a friend to come back home
Been missing for a year now all alone
Nothing left but the clothes you wear
Am I the last one left to care?
Standing on the watchtower, on my own
Well I hope, and I pray,
That you’ll make it back someday,
When the tide will turn, and you will return to explain it all away
How I hope, and I pray…
Standing on the watchtower on my own
A gentle breeze tells me that I’m not alone
The sound of seagulls screech across the land
Looking for signs across the golden sand
Standing on the watchtower on my own
Well I hope, and I pray,
That you’ll make it back someday,
When the tide will turn, and you will return to explain it all away
How I hope, and I pray…
The papers telling me that you are gone
My inner feelings say that they are wrong
So, on the watchtower I will be
on the watchtower I will be

Feeling a breeze on my face, slow down the pace, find a quiet place
To reflect on times in the past, where memories last, they go by so fast.
The bedsheets are cold when you’re not here
I can’t see your face, as daylight draws near
I miss when you whisper good morning in to my ear
Are you thinking of me when the lights are down low
Does your heart skip a beat, do your cheeks start to glow
If your mind starts to wander then please let me know
I’ll be there for the times you need someone around
I’ll be quiet when you’d rather I don’t make a sound
We’re there for each other, so never feel lost, feel found.
Passing ships sail through the night, I hope we’re alright, soon we’ll see light
Mirrors reflect what we see, just like the sea when it’s calling to me
Your picture, your smile, it hangs on my wall
It’s there for when I cannot see you at all
I’ll be checking my phone, hoping soon you’ll call…..me
Are you thinking of me when the lights are down low
Does your heart skip a beat, do your cheeks start to glow
If your mind starts to wander then please let me know
I’ll be there for the times you need someone around
I’ll be quiet when you’d rather I don’t make a sound
We’re there for each other, so never feel lost, feel found.
You should know I feel love and the fires burning bright
I’ll be thinking of you as we sail through the night
We’ll look to the moon and the stars and know this feels right
And I’ll be there for the times your feet can’t touch the ground
When you cannot think straight or your head starts to pound
We’re there for each other, so never feel lost, feel found.

Walls To Climb
03:43
|

You’ve gotta breath in before you learn to breath out
Learn to blink before your time has run out
gotta stay quiet or you won’t hear me shout…today
Beginning to walk just to learn how to run
Playing with games just to learn to have fun
Laughing with Dad, smiling at Mum…today
We all have walls left to climb
But all these things come in time, and I’m, happy to live mine
You need to feel tired so you’ll fall asleep
Need to feel pain or you won’t learn to weep
gotta find things just to know what to keep…today
Passing the time whilst there’s nowhere to be
Closing my eyes coz I don’t want to see
The things you do, I will just let them be…today
We all have walls left to climb
But all these things come in time, and I’m, happy to live mine
Mid 8
We all have walls left to climb
But all these things come in time….
Look to the sky for the shadows are near
Familiar faces show there’s nothing to fear
I’ve run out of time as the ending is here …today
We all have walls left to climb
But all good things end in time, and I’m, happy I lived mine

Somewhere I Belong
04:01
|
|||
|
Looking for a place to hide
Away from you
Somewhere new
Where the clouds don’t feel so grey
Where I hope that you
Are missing me too
But I…. I’m needing to talk to you now, hoping that you can
Teach me what went wrong
Teach me to be strong
Show me that somewhere I belong
Show me all the signs
Recognise the time
Show me that someday I’ll be fine
Contemplating everything
You say or do
Don’t know if it’s true
Trust is not a word
That I would like to use
But I’m missing you
So I….. I’m needing to talk to you now, hoping that you can
Teach me what went wrong
Teach me to be strong
Show me that somewhere I belong
Show me all the signs
Recognise the time
Show me that someday I’ll be fine
Mid 8
Teach me what went wrong
Teach me to be strong
Show me that somewhere I belong
Show me all the signs
Recognise the time
Show me that someday I’ll be fine
Teach me what went wrong
Teach me to be strong
Show me that somewhere I belong
Show me all the signs
Recognise the time
Show me that someday I’ll be fine

Fall In To Place
04:20
|

|
I hold on to you but I know it's not there
I feel you so close, are you sure that you care
If love falls apart, will I know where to go
is it somewhere no one ever knows
if the sky turns to dark
and the light in my eye
fades within moments of telling a lie
would you still want to hold on, to what you had found
or leave without making a sound
I'm awake when I'm with you
in the darkness I see through
all the tears that try to hide every part of your face
If the moments don't feel right
I will wait out of your sight
until the day I can say, we share the same space
until I fall in to place
In the blink of an eye
I see you go by
If I turn around again, all I'll see is the sky
as the moon turns away
and the sun comes around
there's no one there to be found
I'm awake when I'm with you
in the darkness I see through
all the tears that try to hide every part of your face
If the moments don't feel right
I will wait out of your sight
until the day I can say, we share the same space
until I fall in to place

Shadows
03:34
|

|
Where did you hide, I searched the shadows
Was I so blind, I didn’t know?
Nothing to find, among the shadows
Why were you there, with nothing to show?
Then you stepped out, and I could finally see, there’s a place for you and me
Into the light, out from the shadows
See all above, feel all below
Breaking away, out from the shadows
Seeing you there, I guess now I know
Why you stepped out, now I can finally see, there’s a place for you and me
Nowhere to hide, you were lost with no light,
Set yourself free, you’ll turn out alright,
Darkness has gone, hold my hand tight
Feeling the love, out from the shadows
Needing you near, learning to grow
Never return, into the shadows
Feeling alive, taking it slow
When you stepped out, I could finally see, there’s a place for you and me…
Feeling high, now we finally see this is the place for you and me.

Drink No More
03:57
|
|||
|
Sometimes in your life, there are times that just feel right
And then again there’s times that just feel wrong
I never want to feel this way for long
I’m sure
There are many nights, when I can’t turn out the lights
So I grab a drink and put my feet up high
Laying back I gaze upon the sky
And pour…..
Another drink, till I can drink no more
You can only surmise, as tears swell up in my eyes
The burden I hold must be something great
Like a back that’s breaking from a heavy weight
I’m sure
It feels like a curse, when the day grows slowly worse
Anger creeps in and I can’t calm down
Happiness turns to a frown
And so…..
I pour a drink, till I can drink no more.
There are times that come and go
Some pass you by, some you’ll never know
There are times that go to show
What you’ve learnt isn’t all you’ll know
Although….
There are times you never let things go
Sometimes in the night, when I toss and turn and fight
With demons that grow inside my fears
I feel awake but am I really here
I’m not sure…..
So I pour a drink, till I can drink no more.

Brace Yourself
03:56
|

Are you ready for what's to come, this futures right for no one?
Work me hard to pay my way; drain me for my salary
Bleed me dry until I'm done, and it's only just begun
I'm tied down to the feeling, and there's no other way
Brace Yourself for I mean it, I am going to pave the way
Lay it out across the line, pay my taxes, do my time
Count my blessings one by one, shout out loud and when I’m done
Close my eyes, count to ten, it’s time to start over again
I'm tied down to the feeling, and there's no other way
Brace Yourself for I mean it, I am coming to save the day
I will take a road less travelled, until I fade away
You’ll find me there tomorrow; I’ll be looking for a better way
Educate me do your best, show me how to pass the test
Heal until I bleed some more, searching for a human cure
Place my counter on the black, and now I’m never looking back
I'm tied down to the feeling, and there's no other way
Brace Yourself for I mean it, I am coming to save the day
I will take a road less travelled, until I fade away
You’ll find me there tomorrow; I’ll be looking for a better way

Endgame
04:48
|
|||
|
A battle drawn on nothing more, than the need for another war
With no evidence found
There are good men who will stand tall, each one there to take the fall
For higher ground
Moving forward one by one, until there’s nowhere left to run
You may try, you may steal, you may burn at the wheel
When the tables turn, you will know how it feels
All the wrongs end up right, when you’re too weak to fight
Let my rook take your knight tonight
A soldier with a cross to bear, there are no prisoners, no one cares
On the wasteland
A medal for your pride and joy, came home a man but left a boy
And here I stand
While others fall one by one, before their story had begun
You may try, you may steel, you may burn at the wheel
When the tables turn, you will know how I feel
All the wrongs end up right, when you’re too weak to fight
Let my rook take your knight tonight
Minutes falling one by one
Until the endgame proves you’ve won
You may try, you may steal, you may burn at the wheel
When the tables turn, you will know how it feels
All the wrongs end up right, when you’re too weak to fight
Let my rook take your knight tonight
You may try, you may steal, you may burn at the wheel
When the tables turn, you will know how it feels
All the wrongs end up right, when you’re too weak to fight
Let my rook take your knight tonight
