Wandering Soul Pt. 1
02:00
|
|||
|
wandering soul lost his wings and now his home
holding on to the things he values most
searching for the dream that he can hold
searching for the lights to make him whole
wandering soul he once thought he was alone
holding on to the dream that he has grown
waiting for the calm in the storm
waiting for the light to bring him home

Screaming

you always said to learn from your mistakes
to not get stuck in the same ways
if only you would take in what you spoke
you wouldn’t see all of your past ghosts
and i had to give it a chance
to find who i truly am
if i would have followed your ghost
i would be screaming here alone
i’ve moved on it’s time you do the same
no luck here trapped in these things
you tell me of the things you value most
why would i listen now your story hasn’t sold
you can’t tell me i’ll do the same
my path has already been paved
you keep on chasing your ghosts
thats why you’re screaming here alone
you always search to place the blame
that’s why your stuck on the same page
let’s see who’s first to hit the floor
i’m not alone
and i won’t be forgotten
you’re all alone
were you busy dreaming of all your past ghosts

Here We Are
03:26

it started out as nothing more then a dream
the one as kids that we adored
and through it all we found our way
its time to show them all that they have made mistakes
we could be sitting here wasting away
stuck in self trying to make it through the day
now here we are we made it on our own
we’ll make it to the coast then we’ll find our way back home
they see us living every night
and think why did i not do more with my life?
we see the sadness in their eyes
its no wonder that we watch these cities cry
nobody knows what matters most
until they see what they’ve been dreaming come to life
nobody looks down those new roads
thats why they keep breathing
dreaming in the dark

Mountains

been dropped in a hole
this they call home
where everything moves far too slow
but i can’t seem to break these walls
that keep me down
they’re all around
been walking so long i hope i don’t fall to my knees
i’m here all alone but at least i’m free
the mountains are calling so will you just give in?
they’ve been screaming forever but nobody listens
i’ve found my thoughts
i kept them close
dug up my past and let it go
i know i’m not alone
now here we are
we can’t just give this up
here we are
there’s so much more to life
here we are
i know we’ll make it through
the mountains are calling so will you just give in?
they’ve been screaming forever but nobody listens
now i;ve grown so sick of just living so how can i kick this?
the mountains are calling now i’ve gotta listen
i’ve done my time
been all alone
stuck in my room with nowhere to go

Wandering Soul Pt. 2
02:20

i know its time to close my eyes and fade into the night sky
before i do i’ll pen my thoughts in a compass book that i keep locked
the entry states “where is this man the wandering soul today?”
is he safe? is he okay? or has he gone away?
where have you gone?
all alone
your light is on now come back home
a new day starts and i can’t find a reason why he’s gone awry
he left so fast he sped away
i hope he’ll write one of these days
his entry states “i’ve found my path in this life i have made
i think i’ll stay now that i’m sane i hope to meet again some day”
i know you’re gone
all alone
your light is on
wandering soul

The Wind
03:31

the wind is blowing and we can’t sleep
the starry night is all we see
we drive for hours speaking of things
the winding road is where we’ll be
will they come and find me now
will they come and find me how
they’ll find me smoking these cigarettes
living this life i’ve made
they’ll find me under the city lights singing all night all day
no matter what goes and happens now
i know i’ll be okay
they’ll find me under the city lights singing all night all day
these endless days and sleepless nights
who knew that we would be alright
the long deep talks
three bottles of wine
the boys in wind
make sure we’re fine
so will they try to find us now
don’t they know we’ll make it back somehow
the show is over so now we leave
lets head on home to get some sleep
(try and find us now)
but it won’t be long
(we’ll keep on screaming out our darkest thoughts, our souls may wander but they’re never lost)

Growing Up
03:02
|
|||
|
you woke up and walked away from all your promises
you gave up your hopes and you gave up your dreams for nothing
you’ve chased it for so long but now it has all gone
you woke up in fear and you let it all disappear
now you lost it all
you let it slip away
when you look inside that mirror
you notice your mistakes
now you lost it all
you gave it all away
so don’t come tell me how to live my life
when you’re stuck in one you hate
it wasn’t an easy choice to give up everything i’ve done
i never had the chance like you so why don’t you run?
it was your dream and you believed
so why’d you give up so easily?
i let growing up get to me
it must be a sad life knowing that you tried to break someone down because in your head its the only thing that seems to make up for all your failures is this the life you chose to live?

To:Me
03:52

i know it’s not the best time to tell you i’m leaving i’m here to say goodbye
what’s done is done now i must go back to the places i know as my homes
so that i don’t lose sight
there’s a fire inside burning brighter than the sky
if there’s a will there’s a way to never let my fire fade
these days i feel so alone cause when i fled i left my soul at home
now it’s time i carry on and pick out the pieces that just don’t belong
so that i don’t lose sight
drop the pills and you’ll be stronger
i’m clear now
drop the tabs that don’t belong here
who have i become?
this is who i am

Thank You

its been a long few months I've been under the weather
but having you around it has helped more than ever
now my mind’s been stuck in what feels like forever
i had gone astray then you helped me get better
i was on the floor i couldn’t breathe anymore
but you grabbed my hand and made me feel again
i was lost inside the colourless dream of cries
so you woke me up and brought me back to life
i should be drowning but you taught me how to fly
i felt like dying but you showed me i’m alive
and when the days are dark you are the only light in my mind
all my days were long
had never felt so far gone
until you sat me down and made me understand
that my life was fine
that i had been living blind
and i let my fear run circles in my head
rest your head

Wandering Soul Pt. 3
02:27
|

|
wandering soul has lost all hope
a talk lost in translation
was looking for something to hold
and find a new place to call home
they said i fled, said i had run
with no explanation
now who are you to be the judge?
i’ve only been after the things i love
will you ever go to see the mountains where the winds blow?
i will always be searching for the calm in the….
storm has come and gone again
they said i wouldn’t make it
and when the days feel dark and long
i end up proving them all wrong
looks like i lost all my true friends without conversation
at least i now know where they stand
i hope you find yourselves again
no you’ll never know or see the mountains where the winds blow
can you hold your own? can you make it here all alone?
i will always be searching for the calm in the storm
