Start Anew
03:22
|

|
Ruminating on the hour.
A late passenger chasing their train.
I often wonder if the destination is worth the ache and pain.
In the mirror stands one man, but in my chest it feels like two.
These memories have no use; lets undo all I once knew.
If you could cut this heart in two, I wonder what it'd do.
Don't think, start anew.
Moving past the feeling.
It disintegrates into the air.
Ashes to ashes, from life to death; I won't say a prayer.
Cause words don't come easy, like drops of water from a closed tap.
The starved farmer begs for rain, it used to fall right in their lap.
If you could cut this heart in two, I wonder what it'd do.
Don't think, start anew.

Forget
04:33
|

I've been finding my way home.
Did you leave me a key under the mat?
I've been finding my way home.
Look how you've stayed where you always sat.
I'm coming, i'm coming, hope I don't remember why I left.
I'm coming, i'm coming, could we ever forgive and forget?
Could we ever forgive and forget?
I bet, I bet.
He who doesn't belong, will always find a song to sing.
How could you ever go wrong? You can't be lost if you're always missing.
Come back home, come back home; we left the room the way it was.
It's all yours, it's all yours; the blinds are closed and the door is always shut.
He who doesn't know why, will always have a question they could ask.
How could you ever deny? In front of every face is a mask.
Come out now, come now out; you've got to be a part of all of this.
It's blunted, it's blunted; no knife could cut through the ways that exist.

Nothing More
02:46
|

|
What came first; the want or the need?
What came next; the act or the deed?
Solitude was my friend.
But I feel like this friendship must come to an end.
I could ask, I could ask, for nothing more, for nothing more.
I've been given, I've been given, the world and more, the world and more.
Tried to find the words but I can't understand.
Like an educated fool, I just can't comprehend.
How joy was right before me.
But my mind trained my thoughts to never see.
What came last; either fate or luck.
Like a fugitive of time, I was destined to be stuck.
But your hand reached out to me.
And unlocked every door without a key.

Step Back
03:42
|
|||
|
If the kid I was met the man I am would I see disappointment in his eyes?
We grow to be the murders of dreams; the crow searching to feed on misery.
But oh, lets step back, to another place, another time.
Before you convinced yourself that you were passed your prime.
If the man I am met the kid I was would I see youth and joy with no capacity?
We look back now and we wonder how, we missed out on the harvest never thought to plow.
If the soul I have met the life I had, would I hope for another day?
Let's take our chance and do it now. Tomorrow's never promised so let me say.

Love for Yourself
02:27
|
|||
|
Love for yourself.
Before you can love somebody else.
Walking holding hands but you're just a shell.
Love yourself, or no one will.
As clear as ice but as soft as sand.
Your love should be on solid land.
Those who depend on another for worth,
Will wander, lost, on this earth.
As bright as the sun, as stable as a dream.
Your star burns out with faded esteem.
Those who know what they deserve,
Will stand up and hold their nerve.

Coincidences
03:26
|

|
Ain't it just a coincidence when hurt strikes again?
Ain't it just a coincidence when it ends when it begins?
And the victim remains?
Ain't it just a coincidence when you convince yourself the same?
Ain't it just a coincidence that you've always done the same?
Ain't coincidences funny?
Well, I don't have time to guess anymore.
No, it ain't a coincidence that you see out the pain.
No, it ain't a coincidence that you've always done the same.
First learned is the last to leave.
No, it ain't a coincidence that no ones around.
No, it ain't a coincidence that love can't be found.
Ain't coincidences funny?

Zero
04:32
|
|||
|
A glass half full, a bucket with a hole.
Some start at zero, while others start below.
Down on your luck, you wouldn't know where to start.
The ease of pavement, far from this dirt road.
A flat tire, before the trip.
I'll ride on the rim, with my lights on dim.
A fenced border, I am the migrant.
Forced to flee, where I once called my home.
I brave the storm, I search for new life.
Cause all I know, is famine and strife.

Youth
04:26
|
|||
|
I thought, I thought he told me,
That he was all packed to leave.
That he was ready to go,
And that his new life was known.
I heard, I heard from all around,
That he was under a cloud.
That he was lost and alone.
Stuck in an isolated zone.
One last chance, one more try,
You lost it now.
One last goodbye.
Youth.
Goodbye to youth.
I saw, I saw with my eyes,
Aging that no mask could hide.
I saw how he wasn't the same,
And through his eyes I felt pain.
But I, I still knew inside,
He had joy he couldn't hide,
And how he grew up so fast,
And like all things, this shall pass.

For Once
03:28
|
|||
|
For once in my life,
I smile without hesitation.
I don't look back at who can judge me.
The emotion exists through my soul,
And to my face.
And I never ever thought this would be the case.
For once in my life,
I think without limits.
I don't doubt or second guess myself.
The words come from my heart,
When I see your face.
And I never ever thought this would be the case.
For once in my life,
I know where I'm meant to be.
I don't regret the choices that I've made.
I'm so sure they were right,
Cause I'm in your space.
And I never ever thought this would be the case.

Electricity
03:24
|
|||
|
The day is temporary,
It slips into the night.
The clouds form so fast,
Not a ray of sun in sight.
You better act now,
Don't let the sun fall.
You can get what's yours,
There's no need to stall.
Cause what's for you,
Is meant to be.
It burns in your hands but you hold on tightly.
You fit perfect,
Here with me.
My life is charge by your electricity.
And you spark, brightly.
You shine your light,
On me.
These unmarked roads again,
Couldn't keep me away.
If I can't drive to you,
Whats the point in the day?
You're a book that I've read before,
And always read again cause I learn a little more.
