Sunrise 05:36
they say "do as you will" but I won't I put the blinders on myself seemed like a wide open road I pulled the gates down without your help the clock that once refused to tick is now stuck on overdrive if all of this may happen I'll survive when all is said and all is done when all my trouble comes undone when I can walk instead of run I'll turn my head and face the sun and if the wind were ever to shift I'd die a little every time and if I happened to land on my feet it always came to me as a surprise I don't wanna run and hide every time the leaves may turn if everything must change then I must learn and just like the seasons change I realise that I must try same as the leaves on the trees I'll wilt and wither on but I'll survive and as the storms of yesterday yield to the rising sun I know my work's not even close to done

In a Loop 04:54
too much to say but it's all been said before I'm stuck in a loop and I've never been so sure this kind of life never seemed to be much for me I'm stuck in a loop and I'm dragging you down with me this kind of change I've never felt before where nothing seems to beckon me out the door so I'll play the same games everyone's been playing and say the same words everyone's been saying I came here in search of wonder but I've never felt so lost before I've made my way through the lost and found walked the tightrope for fear of falling down on the other side there's nothing to be seen the only refuge I find is when I dream the sort of dreams I've never dreamt before but that rarely seems to happen anymore

my mind's still like an open book but the pages are all blank I'd like to know what's on your mind but I'm afraid of what I'll hear back these days are strange I know but I've lost all sense of time I'd like for you to stay with me lest the shadows make me blind til I find what's on the other side stay til the lights disappear stay til the sky turns from red to clear stay til the lights disappear can't move while I see all these changes going past it's getting hard to stay still but I know the tough will last no reason for alarm that's what I tell myself sit by the riverside divest your sense of pride then maybe you will find why I'm empty now

Ghost 04:26
I wish that you could stay what's another couple of days or a lifetime sound? I see you everywhere in every single stare I notice you're around and I know you wouldn't like this stormy day but anyway... I miss you another day without you and I can't figure it out you're in everything in my memory of what life is meant to be you're in everything and I'll wait for you to chase the sun again cause without it will never be the same when I'm going anywhere I feel you in the wind but it's not enough this place doesn't feel like home without you here

sounds so simple then everybody walks away sounds so simple when you're alone with your mistakes feels so stupid just waiting out another day feels so stupid but then the sun comes out and you can forget all the shitty people you've met all the shady things that you've done when you're strung out waiting for days ain't got room for stupid mistakes sounds so simple just doing what you're used to do sounds so simple but then there's no-one left but you feels so stupid come up with another excuse feels so stupid it ain't like you got much to lose but a thought starts to creep into your own mind maybe leave those people behind when you're sitting waiting for days you can start to fix your mistakes waking up in the night with the shiver and fright doesn't sound so appealing but you do it again everyone is the same ain't got time for those feelings but if one of those nights there's a moment of clarity that hits you I'll be there if you just need someone who cares if you need a break from the past if you need to crash for a few I'll keep them from getting to you sounds so simple you've never been nobody's fool sounds so simple it ain't their business what you do feels so stupid but somehow you still gotta live feels so stupid they said he had a lot to give

if I said that I still miss you that your shadow lingers far and wide would you care to listen? if I said my days were empty and my nights were drivel anyhow would it matter now? I know that I can't reach you that you're gone for good but the only thing I wish you understood is how you were loved you were precious and there's not a day goes by that I can but sit and cry about how I miss you and there's not a day goes by that I sit and wonder why why a part of me will be forever missing I could spend a lifetime searching going round the world a hundred times never to find I could reach the farthest corners shouting from the mountaintops above that you were loved you were precious and there's not a day goes by that I can but sit and cry about how I miss you

Anyhow 04:03
look at this place look at the mess you made before you turned and walked away look at me now do you think I crawl my way out of this cluttered mire? it's hard to realise when you're buried til the eyes in a pit of confusion and grief it's hard to stick to my beliefs when they're changing every day and every time I wonder why the wind may blow or I may cry I know it's gonna happen anyhow what can I do when all the lights are off and I can't seem to fall asleep what can I do to keep my mind in place while every hour ticks away don't be surprised if good fortune may smile and for once make the wind blow my way it may not seem a big surprise but in fact that's how I feel and every time I wonder why...

Sisyphus 03:32
I don't wanna hear about the rocks in my path or the weights on my back or the blanketing black of the night that's to come not a single word about the man I've become or the damage I've done I've been taking on some of my own this isn't the right time it's not that I'm running away but I'm just not in the right mind I haven't felt like myself for a while now every time I look back at the shadow I cast I get reminded of past mistakes like I've never done nothing right and every time that boulder rolls back down the hill it's a sign that I've not given up but there's work to be done

16 Years 06:08
it's only tears let them fall where they may soon you will see the moon come up from behind the clouds everything you left behind is gone I've emptied out the drawers and shut all of the doors but I still can't shake your presence it lingers the most I'm living with your ghost for a while that's how it is it's only tears let them fall where they may soon you will see the moon come up from behind the clouds and all your fears soon let them be allayed ready for moving on but now you'll be strong it'll be a while before it happens this change that seems so certain I'm counting out the days if everything does happen for a reason I'm not sure that I believe them when they say I'm doing fine I'm sorting out my feelings as they come waiting for my fortune to be drawn but if it doesn't come I'll make my own I've gotten used to being without you I guess that's normal now I'm still moving on at my own rhythm with this change I didn't ask for this sudden shift in pace but I don't think I ever will forget you the years we shared in silence that awful tiny place and everyone that says I'm doing fine well I thank them for their good thoughts but I can't hide the truth everything around me is still empty the air still lingers heavy the void still filled with grey
