Midnight train
I can hear for miles
I am wide awake
Wandering the house
I can’t sleep
Lord knows I’ve tried
But on nights like these
I just pass the time
Either way
I’m back at it today
Another fear I have to face
Everything is never as it seems
I don’t have tonight to dream
The night is cold
But the fire is warm
I am on my own
Till the morning comes
Write these words
So I won’t forget
With the time I have
And the time I’ve spent
(repeat chorus)
(solo)
Midnight train
I can hear for miles
I am wide awake
Wandering the house

What You Wanted

Another page I’ve written before
These words are all I have of me
I try so hard but I can’t erase
All my mistakes, they made who I am
I know I am a failure but I Swear
I’m doing the best that I can
You never get what you wanted
You have to find a way to make it through
You never get what you wanted
You have to find a way to make it through
I’m holding on to what I will lose
I’m living in a fantasy
It's beautiful but there’s no use
I’m different
I’m not who I was
So take it or just leave it
I can change into someone that I love
(Chorus)
I’m never looking back again
I feel alive in knowing where I once have been.
I’m never looking back again
I feel alive in knowing where I’ve been.
(Solo)
(Chorus)

Howl In The Night
03:54
|
|
||
|
It’s so quiet in the dead of night
No busy streets
just starry skies
I hear the wood of the crackling fire
At our feet as we retire
There is a howl in the night
White water from the river
And when we look into the sky
Will this ever last forever?
We hear the song of the nightingale
Bellowing a voice that swells
Into the darkness
Into the clear
Into the open of the wild, I am here
There is a howl in the night
White water from the river
And when we look into the sky
Will this ever last forever? (REPEAT x2)
(INSTRUMENTAL / SOLO)
There is a howl in the night
White water from the river
And when we look into the sky
Will this ever last forever? (REPEAT x4)
It’s so quiet in the dead of night
No busy streets
Just starry skies

Old Oak Trees
03:29
|
|
||
|
Walking in the rain
Footsteps on the street
Listen to the wind
As it moves through the branches
Of the Old oak trees
Watch them as they sway
Watch me as a I gaze
Deep into your eyes
Like the first time
While forgetting everything
Forgetting everything
I know that keeps on bringing me down
So tell me everything
I need to hear to turn this around
I've been here before
Found myself again
Somewhere in the lies
That I've heard over and over again
This could be the way
This could be the start
Something that we need
That felt out of reach
In knowing who we are
Forgetting everything
I know that keeps on bringing me down
So tell me everything
I need to hear to turn this around

Get By
05:13
|
|

I’m never bitter
I’m just killing time
Lost in the mirror of someone to find
Tell you about it if I had the time
But when I do I’d just rather unwind
It’s alright,
You tell yourself to get through the night
It’s a lie,
But it helps a little just to get by
I don't mind,
Because it’s all I’ve ever known in my life
I’m alright,
because I'm trying and it's all i can find
Just to get by
Around again,
I’m use to being tired
Because my mind is stuck in overdrive
Now and then I don't feel anything
Sadly for me that's where I want to be
Another drug, another pill to drink.
But that’s a joke of what I really need.
It doesn’t matter if you feel unease
Time is a teacher when you learn to breathe.
It’s alright,
You tell yourself to get through the night
It’s a lie,
But it helps a little just to get by
I don't mind,
Because it’s all I’ve ever known in my life
I’m alright,
because I'm trying and it's all i can find
Just to get by
(SOLO)
It’s alright,
You tell yourself to get through the night

because I'm trying and it's all i can find
Just to get by

Dementia

I forgot your name again
I forgot your name again
Nothing feels the same
Nothing feels the same
I forgot your name again
Thinking about it all
Thinking of what went wrong
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
I forgot my name again
I forgot my name again
Nothing is the same
Nothing is the same
I forgot my name again
Thinking about it all
Thinking of what went wrong
Where did I go?
Where did I go?
I forgot my name (repeat x9)

The Redwoods of Felton
02:44

Out here in the redwoods
There is a mist in the morning light
Land of the giants
Reaching upwards into the sky
I feel it in me
Something I thought I lost before
I feel it take me
Somewhere I’ve never been before
Somewhere I’ve never been before
Dreaming while it rains
Nobody here knows my name
I feel the cold and I am safe
From the pain
The stones in the river
Memories of youth and forgotten times
As I breath the air in
I am reminded of my good life
Your hand is warm and
Smooth to the touch as I pull you in
Without your love
I don’t know where I would’ve been
I don’t know where I would’ve been
Dreaming while it rains
Nobody here knows my name
I feel the cold and I am safe
From the pain
(END)

Too Many Secrets
04:39
|
|
||
|
Everyone has a secret
Locked away in a safe
Everyone has a reason
Taking it to their grave
The news televise hatred
Look away from the street
Nothing real what you’re seeing
Tell yourself it’s a dream
You can not hide
Everything where we’re going
You can not hide
Everything where we’re going
(SOLO 1.0)
Everyone has a feeling
Everything they believe
Never blind when they’re seeing
Just what they want to see
All I hear is deceiving
Everything is a lie
Tell myself not to worry
Easier just to hide
You can not hide
Everything where we’re going
You can not hide
Everything where we’re going
(Bridge Vocal Repeat of chorus/ choir x2)
(SOLO 2.0)
You can not hide
Everything where we’re going
(END)

Electronic Device

When we are home we are both alone
When we stare into separate screens
We don’t talk
We just sit and watch
All the pointless shows that mean nothing
Maybe it’s not that bad
And I’m not that sad
in where we’re going
Maybe we’ll get it right
There will be no more fights
Would that be nice
But that’s just life
When we were young we would
Watch the sun rise and
Watch it drown into the sea
Things were simple then
We were more than friends
When who we were was all we need
Maybe it’s not that bad
And I’m not that sad
in where we’re going
Maybe we’ll get it right
There will be no more fights
Would that be nice
But that’s just life
(SOLO INSTRUMENTAL)
When we are home we are both alone
When we stare into separate screens
(END)

Afraid Of This
04:30
|
|

I was afraid of this
I wasn’t right and I never was
I’m tired of this scene
There’s nothing here but a shattered dream
Picking the pieces up again
Dust them off, should I try again?
I’m terrified but I hide it well
Nobody knows far as I can tell
About me
So this is how it feels
When you know that it isn’t real
Or maybe it’s a phase
When you grow tired of the same things
You lock the door and you hide the key
You live in fear so you never leave
If nothing ever stays the same
You have to change if you want to break free
You want to break free
You want to break free
I was afraid of this
I wasn't right and I never was
I wasn't right and I never was
