Shadows of a Modern Life
So here we are
We couldn't leave this alone
It's hard to define
We couldn’t let the feeling go
Now is the time
So give me life and grow
It's thickening ahead
To live we can't be slow
We’ve no time left for games
And it’s urgent we don’t take for granted
We're coming up on high,
Not leaving this place empty handed
We’ve learned from our mistakes,
Not leaving here how we came in
We’re never going back,
But the darkness swallows light beyond us…
So here we are
We couldn't leave this alone
It's hard to define
We couldn’t let the feeling go
Now is the time
So give me life and grow
It's thickening ahead
To live we can't be slow
We’ve no time left for games
And it’s urgent we don’t take for granted
We're coming up on high
Not leaving this place empty handed
We’ve learned from our mistakes
Not leaving here how we came in
We’re never going back
But the darkness swallows light beyond us…
So here we are
We couldn't leave this alone
But in the shadows of this modern life
Can we see without a light?
So here we are
We couldn't leave this alone
But in the shadows of this modern life
Can we see, can we see?
I can't help you
With feeling helpless
If you can't trust that
We'll find our solace
We're both dreamers
And you amaze me
And we're not helpless
If we're not lazy
It comes back to what we have inside
So here we are
We couldn't leave this alone
It's hard to define
We couldn’t let the feeling go
Now is the time
So give me life and grow
It's thickening ahead
To live we can't be slow
Can we see without a light,
In the shadows of this modern life?

Getting It Right

Getting It Right
You know your indecision
Has lead you your whole life
Oh yeah, a touchy subject
Please forgive me for my mind
Got knocked up by a rich boy
I hope that helped you decide
Wish me luck finding the next one
Maybe she can ease my mind
Take it easy
Take your time
Get it right
Take it easy
If it’s right
It fits right
It must be tunnel vision
Again I fail to see
Another intermission
So fast, we’re in so deep
Then forced was a division
Without warning set me free
You know we could have worked though
But we’ll just wash those thoughts away
Take it easy
Take your time
Get it right
Take it easy
If it’s right
It fits right
I still feel you sometimes
Not that it matters
The signs point us onwards
The compass has shattered
Cashed out, now we both lead the way (it’s over)
Black out, don’t think about the way (it’s over)
I don’t need anything from you, can you say the same to me? (it’s over)
Cast out, now we both start again (it’s over)
Now we can move onward

Empty Matches

Empty Matches
Light the matches
Lose the sadness
You can help me
Fight the madness
I won’t go alone
Hear this now and know
So many scratches
Forming ashes
Falling faster
It always happens
I won’t go alone
Hear this now and know
Without this, I’m not me
Take my hand and see
Empty matches
Returning sadness
Too familiar
Fuck you madness
I won’t go alone
Hear this now and know
Without this, I’m not me
Take my hand and see
Darkness crashes
Stark contrasted
Explanations
But no matter
Don’t leave me alone
You’d betray your own
Together we could be
All you’d ever need
The madness never ends
Now watch as I descend
You could be my friend
And I could be your end

Love In Degrees

Love In Degrees
When he looks into you
He doesn’t see what you want him to
But he sees what they mean
That someday, you will be somebody’s queen
And when you’re looking at him
You fail to see the whole spectrum
If you just see what you need
Is it like, love in degrees?
We all know life is a blur
So take a breath, then move forward
Are the things we want,
Really what we need?
Are the signs really so hard to see?
Like how she’s always looking for more
So he tries hard to ignore
Because she’s beautiful
And so much more
But not the type he dreams of
Like love in degrees
Oh, no
Is that what you need?
When he looks into you
Do you see more than flickers of clues?
Cause if they’re that hard to see
You may not fix what there never will be
It’s not fair and he doesn’t want to feel the guilt
He does care and he doesn’t want to make you hurt
Unaware that the loving thing to say to you
Is my girl, I am sorry but I think that…
We all know life is a blur
So take a breath, then move forward
Are the things we want,
Really what we need?
Are the signs really so hard to see?
Like how he’s always locked at the door
Which she tries hard to ignore
Because he’s charming
And he knows the score
But not the type she needs,
(It’s not what you need)
Oh, no, no
Like love in degrees
Is that what you need?
Does he see you?
Open your eyes
Do you see him?
Not your design?
In degrees there’s
Love in his eyes
In your heart
You love just the side
We all know life is a blur
So take a breath, then move forward
Are the things we want,
Really what we need?
And are the signs really so hard to see?
Since he is always locked at the door,
And she continues longing for more,
Will they see the signs?
Of what they need?
Or of love in degrees?
(Like love in degrees)
Like love in degrees
Oh, no
Is that what you need?

Forget The Lines

Forget the Lines
This is the last time
I submit to your design
It's not the best that I can
Even though that's your plan
Amongst the sea we all know
Don't let the waves take you home
Can you see the passage of land
Beyond their qualifying hands?
I don't belong
So tell me, which one is wrong?
I'll learn your trade
But I won't speak
Your language of song, no
You can try hard, so hard to
Just get in where they're going
But who's fooling,
When you're in deep,
Mouthing lines from the floor?
We'll never be our mistakes
Unless the fear's all we know
Despite the curve balls they’re throwing
We’re striking out on our own
Amongst the sea we all know
Float all the answers we don't
Beneath the images we have
Above the money we can't
We don't belong
So who among us is wrong?
Watch the parade
But you don't need
To go and follow along, no
You can try hard, so hard to
Just get in where they're going
What were those words?
The magic keys?
How about get the fuck away from me?
Forget the lines
Don't need your keys
Break it down, what's right is right for me
We're not broken, no
We're not tokens, no
Forget the lines
We've got the moves
You've got your rhymes
But what's right for you is not right for me
Forget the lines
You cannot see
What good is rhyming when you cannot see?
Cause you cannot see me

Head On

Head On
I’ve got this feeling, I’ve hit the ceiling
This is the moment that I'll take until I break away
From all the darkness and the loneliness I let invade
I've reached the here and now, and I will not fade
The world pulses with our fears
Our insecurities are still so near
Those shapeless eyes are not what's real
Step out of time and see how it feels
I'll take this head on
Now is the time that we go
Let's take this head on
Oh, can you hear me?
This feeling
Instigates me
To embrace a world that’s crazy
Go at it harder
You will not shake me
Would take much more than this to break me
You say you've had it up to here
Can't stand decaying with the years
Inside you cannot seem to move
What's only left to prove
Your own fight, own fight
You cannot let you lose sight,
Don’t lose your sight
Let’s take this head on (I’ll take this head on)
Let’s take this head on
Let’s take this head on
Eyes up, bear down (Now is the time that we go)
Let’s take this head on (Let’s take this head on)
Let’s take this head on
Let’s take this head on
Eyes up, bear down, go (Oh, can you hear me?)
This feeling
Instigates me
To embrace a world so fucking crazy
Oh, you will not break me
You say you've had it up to here
Can't stand decaying with the years
Inside you cannot seem to move
What's only left to prove
Your own fight, own fight
You cannot let you lose sight,
Don’t lose your sight
Step up, look them in the eyes
This life is what you will decide
Don't let denial take your pride
Embrace the pain and find
You’ll never know what you need
If you never let the self bleed
From this world we cannot hide

Fade To Horizon

Fade to Horizon
Swirling around us
Howling inside us
A longing so deep for
A love to ignite us
Stretching our arms to
The undying horizon
The world that we seek is
Never quite beside us
So let us jump to a place along the line
Trying to reach what we never could quite find
I won't stop to find any peace with
What is right in front of me
Because I'm looking on to the end of time
To a place which I know I'll free my mind
Nothing here could satisfy this burning
Give me what is rightfully mine
Swirling around us
Howling inside us
A longing so deep for
A love to ignite us
Stretching our arms to
The undying horizon
The world that we seek is
Never quite beside us
Out of breath, I've lost focus and direction
Still I'm spinning towards the sun
One day I'll embrace these waking moments
‘Til then the battle's just begun
Cause after all I see and I hear
There’s nothing left but desire and fear
So I guess, I'll just hold my breath
For the horizons drawing ever near
It’ll fall into place
It’ll fall into place
Swirling around us
Howling inside us
A longing so deep for
A love to ignite us
Stretching our arms to
The undying horizon
Give us some peace to
Help us feel alright with
Swimming in circles
In a sea that denies us
Any chance we have at
Removing our blinders
I stare into space
Beyond the moon and the stars
And I hold out my hands
The great escape is on mars
My arms open so wide
With no solace in sight
But I know
In the end
It’ll be alright
It’ll be alright
It’ll be alright
Yes I know,
Because I feel
That one day
This all will be
Nothing more
Than a memory....
(Oh, just whenever?)
(Yeah, and hold it)

Believe Again
Life is crazy
Sometimes
It’s so hard to know how we got here as we digress
What a mess
What I’d give to start again straight back in time
Where’s the line?
Turning tables of demise as I medicate
Cause it’s late
And my head just falls apart
Sorry my friends,
And my loves, my family, please be brave and rest
With the knowledge that I really tried my best
To overcome this affliction, this disease
I never wanted you to feel burdened by me
Are we lazy?
Are we liars?
Or just cloaking our mistakes to put out fires?
Are we mired?
In our cold ways of old
Because how we’re wired
And so tired
Then resigned to day by day
Until we expire
Take me higher
Oh my head just falls apart
Sorry my friends,
And my loves, my family, please be brave and rest
With the knowledge that I really tried my best
To overcome this affliction, this disease
How I wanted you to believe in me again
Life is crazy
Sometimes
It’s so hard to know how we got here as we digress
What a mess
What I’d give to start again straight back in time
Where’s the line?
Turning tables of demise as I medicate
Cause it’s late
And my head just falls apart
Sorry my friends,
And my loves, my family, please be brave and rest
With the knowledge that I really tried my best
To overcome this affliction, this disease
How I wanted you to believe in me…
Again, again,
I never meant…
Life is crazy, oh
Sometimes, sometimes
And we lose our way,
Sometimes, sometimes
I never meant to take
The fall, the fall
I’m so sorry
And I love you all

Where Have We Gone?

Where Have We Gone?
If life’s a dream?
Then when’s the dawn?
Or have we been here all along?
What if our memory betrays us?
Is this the way it goes?
Yeah, who are we?
Where have we gone?
Who will we be before long?
If we don’t know, why do we claim to see?
Cause what if we’ve been wrong?
Do we know,
That we still know nothing?
And what do you say
To the ones that you love
When it’s not okay?
Cause it’s not okay
What’s in store?
You still want more?
Again and again
Oh now where do we turn?
The ouroboros shows
That we still haven’t learned
It bruised our throats
But we slipped the noose
Falling down, there go our shoes
Our minds are frail as fate forsakes us
Is this the way it goes?
Yeah, who are we?
Where have we gone?
Who will we be before long?
If we don’t know, why do we claim to see?
Must we all belong?
Travel on
Go see the sights you’re set on
But what is to show?
The flashing lights and the glow?
The wandering streets?
Or the seeds below?
Take your bow
And make it count
You never can know
Exactly what may follow
Amidst the highs and lows
Of the ebb and flow
The past has passed
What’s done is done
Oh my god, it went so wrong
What happened to orchestration?
Is this the way it goes?
The universe
Is in our hands
Falling through like grains of sand
And swirling now, the ground surrounds us
Off and away we go
With flailing limbs
There go our shoes
Battered down, but still we move
Breaking ground, Earth will embrace us
Beyond when breathe subdues
So from our pain,
A jaded truth
Relative to me and you
When we love, how we can lose
But that’s what keeps us true
Is life a dream?
Is love a song?
The force that carries us along?
All I know is we miss you every day
I miss you all the time...
