Here Until I'm Gone

Hey you there, I understand,
Don’t let me in, pretend I’m not there,
And I won’t know, when you’re gone,
Never felt anything, when you were,
And now you’re back, with the tales untold,
It’s my time now, to write those pages,
And I am gone…
When I’m gone, I’m gone oho oho
Cant feel, still breathe
When I’m gone, I’m gone oho oho
Cant feel, still breathe
Said I’ll always be with you but here I am and it is over
Said I’ll always be with you but here I am and it is over
I can’t take you with me
Said I’ll always be with you but here I am and it is over
I try but she’s not happy
Said I’ll always be with you but here I am and it is over
I don’t cry but it’s not healthy
Over…
I’ve found you now, and here I’ll stay,
Until I’m gone, n I don’t know,
If that’s for long, but it’s for real,
You are mine, from this day,
And that’s all I, need to know,
Can’t predict the future.
When I’m gone, I’m gone oho oho
Cant feel, still breathe
When I’m gone, I’m gone oho oho
Cant feel, still breathe
Said I’ll always be with you but here I am and it is over
Said I’ll always be with you but here I am and it is over
I can’t take you with me
Said I’ll always be with you but here I am and it is over
I try but she’s not happy
Said I’ll always be with you but here I am and it is over
I don’t cry but it’s not healthy
Over…

Oceans Between Us
04:39

I may only get to see you when it’s dark,
Oh but lovin’ is a chasm when we’re apart,
Working all the time it is tough,
Well I guess I’ll never see you, I had enough.
(and) I can’t wait until these oceans between us fade x2
Now I never even see you when it’s dark,
The rising noise of my unspoken art,
Now I really want to see you when this is done,
Instead of being sad now I’m numb.
(and) I can’t wait until these oceans between us fade x3
I may only get to see you in the dark,
Oh but lovin’ is a chasm when we’re apart.

Kissin' The Phone
05:15

Tried things alone, start kissin’ the phone,
I never wanted you to go,
If I start breakin’, it’s cos I never want you to go,
Look at me, in love,
n I never want you to go,
I never want you to go.
Drive you away, beg you to stay,
I never wanted you to go,
Drive you away, beg you to stay,
I never wanted you to go.
Hello, how long have you been gone, this time,
Hello, is it an hour or a year, just peer, into my eyes.
Once I was, on the edge, of something that I never knew,
This could be the last time, believing in myself again,
Sometimes it’s worth losing a friend,
Believing in what you believe in,
Don’t understand how she’s acts,
Well now it’s time to face the facts,
I never wanted you to go.
Drive you away, beg you to stay,
I never wanted you to go,
Drive you away, beg you to stay,
I never wanted you to go.
Hello, how long have you been gone, this time,
Hello, is it an hour or a year, just peer, into my eyes.
Stand up your date with destiny, just to,
Just to see, what it’s like,
People look around the world to find, what is wrong,
They will find, it was inside all along.
Some day I…will be on my way I

Only The King

Who would have known, this is who I’d be now I’m grown,
Not even me, just too damn blind to see,
Too scared to have fun, so sad, now I’m numb,
n though I am so strong, got me askin’ how long.
How long…yerr
d..dont tell me now
How long…
d..dont tell me now
How long…yerr
d..dont tell me now
How long…
Great many things I have learned,
Life upside down it has turned,
Used to look the other way,
Now I don’t know if I can stay.
How long, have we got,
How long, just take your shots,
How long, can we keep up this fight,
How long, it’s the system that’s not right,
How long, just take my hand,
How long, we’ll make our stand,
Our stand, our stand, our stand.
World keeps on burning, wheels keep on turning,
Loins keep on burning, billionaires keep on earning,
And I am yearning, only the king can hold the crown.
And we’re goin’ down, can’t make a difference in this town x2
But my world is beautiful x3
Not for long x3

In My Stride
04:26

Should not wait until I’m old,
But it’s not easy when you’re young either,
I’m all gone and my body’s cold,
Cos it’s not easy when you’re young either,
You’re young either x5
n I’m so tired, these rocks are breakin’ in my stride x2
Stride x3
Listen here cos now I know,
That she’s not even the worst kind of lady,
Say that I’m just a natural,
Well this just don’t feel that natural lately,
N if you say that I started of rich,
That only cheapens my achievements,
Maybe you’re right it’s time for a switch,
But I fear forgetting what home meant,
Cos it’s not easy when you’re young either.
n I’m so tired, these rocks are breakin’ in my stride x2
Stride x3
Away from what I knew, nobody told me I’d become someone new x2
Become someone new.
Ooo wahh, Ooo wahh Ohhh

Share The Night
05:06

Maimin’, rapin’, we’ve buried our wives,
The darkness, embraced it, we’ve buried the light,
Hangin’, stabbin’, cuttin’ your time,
Willing murder, this time, those thoughts are mine.
I’m no other, I’m your brother,
Why can’t we just share the night,
She’s your mother, misunderstood her,
Why can’t we just share the night,
Stay together, ride the weather,
Why can’t we just share the night.
She’s another world away x2
Stranglin’, stealin’, gased with your pride,
Shootin’, beatin’, don’t ask why I’m uptight,
Another, thing to discover, it’s the one to make it right,
If I can’t, find them, I guess we’ll do alright.
I’m no other, I’m your brother,
Why can’t we just share the night,
She’s your mother, misunderstood her,
Why can’t we just share the night,
Stay together, ride the weather,
Why can’t we just share the night.
She’s another world away x4

Under The Lights

Oh no don’t hide away,
Or your love’ll be arriving late,
n I’m tied.
Shine on those prying eyes,
Tonight don’t rationalise,
n I’m blind.
She don’t normally like,
Something loud with all the guys,
Tonight, you might.
You’ve got the key to open up the doors,
This world’s not perfect but it’s yours.
This thought came just to let you know,
You’ve got to let the inside show,
She was right but she can never know,
You are lonely.
You thought you’d cut it on your own,
No one shouts and no one ever moans,
But you know you can’t let them go,
You are lonely.
Shall I while away my days,
Doing things only my ways,
N my heart aches.
Silence cuts like a knife,
You cannot grow in life,
Denied surprise.
But tonight now we’re alive,
A love so strong under the lights,
Under the lights.
Let’s show them who we are,
And how we’ve come so far,
Under the lights.
You’ve got the key to open up the doors,
This world’s not perfect but it’s yours. x2
This thought came just to let you know,
You’ve got to let the inside show,
She was right but she can never know,
You are lonely.
You thought you’d cut it on your own,
No one shouts and no one ever moans,
But you know you can’t let them go,
You are lonely.
You’re lonely again, tell no one,
Man up now,
Get yourself outside x2
You’ve been hurt before,
You’ll be hurt again,
You’ve been hurt before.

Babe You'll Try
06:18

Babe, you’ll try, and babe you’ll try,
Babe only got one life, and babe you’ve gotta try.
n I might sell, my subscription to you girl,
You shout again, this thing’s got nothing to do with me,
n that’s all well, but I’ve got a prescription for you girl,
I’m sure ill depend, know you’d never walk out on me,
I’m not perfect, never pretended to be,
My only defence, this world’s got inside of me,
n I can’t quell, our addiction to this world,
The silence is hell, only sound’s by you and me.
Babe, you’ll try, and babe you’ll try,
Babe only got one life, and babe you’ve gotta try.
It must’ve taken so long, to lose all of our trust but,
It is gone, should’ve known we would end up here,
n I cant tell, where’s the heroes in this swirl,
Your lies are a mess, full-time job keepin’ up the pretense,
I worry for my health, and the health of those that cling to me,
I waste away, thinkin’ about what was said to me,
Saved by the bell, I know the sun will always rise,
It rises again, know there’s always cause to try.
Where I go, I don’t know x4
Babe, you’ll try, and babe you’ll try,
Babe only got one life, and babe you’ve gotta try.
Don’t lie to yourself. Other people will come and go, but you’ve got to live with yourself forever. It’s not perfect or easy, sometimes it will be, but don’t expect it to last. Try not to worry. Things will go wrong whether you worry or not. Just know the sun will always rise again. Smile again. Love again.
Can we cut through the lies, see what’s underneath, Before we’re out of time, so I can release… your love (R)

Not a sign, not a test, this is me, f**k the rest,
I am one, I am none, I am right, I am wrong,
I am lost, I am found, allowed in, out of bounds,
No price, was paid, allowed in, without a soul.
Great gods, the supernatural,
This world really had to, be better just for you,
What’s wrong with the actual, I quite like the actual,
What’s better than what’s natural, I quite like the natural,
Mass murder, suicide,
Can’t forget the way she cried, when we’re forced to realise,
Running stream and rolling tide, mighty blue and forest pine,
See it less and less, forever blind.
Left reality without a trace,
People like you, the reason it’s so hard to face,
Give all my money away, I could’ve gave ya,
But overall, we can’t change human nature,
Ya watched the news of late? Me neither,
n after all this time I’m a free breather yerr.
I’m not sayin’ I’m giving up,
Maybe accepting but it feels good,
n I don’t like the way you look at me,
Maybe when we stop is when we achieve.

What's To Stop Me
05:14
|

|
What’s to stop me, thinkin’ about,
What’s to stop me, dreamin’ aloud,
I have been strong, strong for so long,
n I stopped her, from giving up,
Now I face a, chance on my own,
Sometimes I forget, how MUCH I have grown,
Have grown.
What’s to stop me, givin’ up to,
What’s to stop me, I’m breathing for two,
Stoppin’ up tonight, in different locations,
To see eachother, that’s just good relations,
But when I see you, you know l’ll drag you down to,
Only one night, well THAT’S enough,
Enough.
n I’ve been waiting so long,
Just to sit down there on the lawn,
The sun hits my face but I’m scorned,
n I can’t be the only one.
