Light heart

I was lost but I turned it around
Felt afraid I was numbing the sound.
The sound. The sound.
Friends' voices like truth in the night.
Sing what’s this dark song where is your light.
Your light heart.
Light heart
With all the fear and hate in the world.
It's time to rise out of your shame.
Your shame, shame.
With all your failures and all of your wounds.
You're the lonely judge in the room.
Light heart

How does a sound go
So often unheard
Like unison voices
Using colourful words
All are dreaming
Somehow dreaming now
How does the world turn
So incredibly slow
LIfe long free ride
On the un-merri-go.
Round we’re turning
No use turning slow
Some want to tear it down
Some want another go round
But you can’t have it all
No you can not have it all
How does a song get
So overplayed
Like echoing chambers
No room to say
What we’re thinking
No use thinking now.
Where do I get off?
This terrible ride.
My ears are ringing
I’m losing my grip.
Always losing.
Such a loser now.
How does it all end?
I guess will just go
Down with the ship
On with the shit show
Don’t start screaming.
No use screaming now.

For your home

Everything you know
Everything you knew
Everyone you know
Everyone you knew
Everything blue
Everything gold
Everything bought
Everything sold
Try to live in the poetry
Try to live in the poetry
Its leads you by the heart X4
But still you drag, drag your feet. X2
What's the worth
What are you willing to lose
For your home for your heart
See destruction
Feel despair.
See destruction
Feel despair
Let your rage rise
Let your rage fly
Let your hope come
Let your hope cry
Try to live in the poetry X2
Its leads you by the heart X4
Everything you love
Everything you loved
Everything you dream
Everytime you sleep
All that you feel
Not what it seems
All that you feel
Makes it hard to breathe
Learning how to swim
Forgetting how to fly
Don’t how to swim
Try to find the drive
But still you drag, drag your feet.

Things will go wrong
03:55

I’ve got nothing here you say
Time and time, time and time again.
No tether here
No safety wire
To pull you out my friend
Things will go wrong. Before they go right.
I’ve got nothing to fear you brag
Could go anywhere, be anyone I know.
I’ve got potential, But it’s frayed at the seams
And I’m dragging my feet again.
Things will go wrong. Before they go right.
Things will go wrong. Before they go right.
Is it the end, you drink
Cheers to you and cheers to me, amen.
I went for a walk, but I wound up at the liquor store again
Things will go wrong. Before they go right.
Things will go wrong. Before they go right.
Things will go wrong. Before they go right.

For the sun
05:46

With everything I’ve come to know
It’s bound to change, it's time to grow
To grow, to grow
I’m not afraid of the shadows and dark
I bend like a plant in the window sill
For the sun, for the sun
Lately it's raining all of the time
Bothers me a little but I’m mostly fine
I’m fine, fine
Some have it better while some have it worse
For better or worse I’m not wasting my time
My time, my time
I can’t see
If I close my eyes
I can’t learn
If I don’t ask why
The structures I’m told that make the world turn
Need to change or finally burn
Burn, burn
Let the powers that be, be the powers that went
Bite the hand that feeds or get tied up like a dog.
No no not me, no no not me.

When you're loving me
04:31

Look at all the time we’ve shared
Still I’m learning more
Who I am, Who I can be
When you’re loving me
Like a friend, like love
Like the river finds the sea
Was I waiting my life out
Just hoping for release
A little here, a little more there
Now you’re loving me
Like a hum, like tune
Like a bird song in the trees
Will our love, last the whole life through
Is the night sky black or blue
The rivers wide, the birds song free
When you’re loving me
Like the colours, like the canvas
What the artist lets us see

Time on your hands
05:10

Say you’ll be fine
Time on your hands
Say you’ll be fine
Time on your hands
Just close your eyes
Than turn your head
Nothing you see
Will please you my friend
I don’t know why
I don’t know how
You’re so left behind
Lost in your mind
Say you’ll be fine
Time on your hands
Say you’ll be fine
Time on your hands
Cover your mouth
Than tour your head
Nothing to say
Excuses my friend
I don’t know why
I don’t know how
You took a long turn
You’re so lost my friend
Despair, despair is easy to come by
Say you’ll be fine
Time on your hands
Say you’ll be fine
Time on your hands
Are you frozen
Lost little child
Time sure rolls on
You sure have grown
I don’t know why
I don’t know how
Nothing to numb
I think it's your time
Despair, despair is easy to come by
Despair, despair is easy to come by
Come by, let go

Lighter heart

When it's not safe
To leave your house
Are you wondering
To yourself
Was it ever really safe at all
Do you feel safe
Where you are
I hope you’re all alone
Got the place to yourself
So it's just your mind to fear
Is this what we’ve become
How will it all be undone
Everyone’s wondering
I’m just wondering right out loud
What could possibly go wrong next
Everyone’s got their doubts
Rattling minds, screaming chests
Will things change or finally collapse
Is this what we’ve become
How will it all be undone
Close my eyes
Dream a while
A brighter world
A lighter heart
Is this what we’ve become
How will it all be undone
Close my eyes
Dream a while
A brighter world
A lighter heart
