A Way To Go

I’ve got a way to go
Until I sail away
My heart’s a cloud, my eyes are green
To who I cannot say
All my doubt has come to this
A mark upon a grave
She sends her words of love to me
But masked behind a wave
Home’s not there when she gets in the door
She’s living there but I’m all alone
The rumour circulates the room
She touches my hand ‘cos we’re leaving soon
I’ve got a way to go
Until you set me free
You’re hands are cold, your nails are red
But your mind I cannot see
I want your arms to keep me warm
But I want so much more, how long can I hold on
Suddenly you lead me home
Will it all end there well I wish I knew
I’ve got a way to go
Until I sail away
You pace the ground to watch me leave
Don’t hate yourself
Put away your guns
Oh hold on
Oh hold on
Oh hold on
Oh hold on

Good Intentions

Please stop looking at me
I am ill-equipped to resist in your eyes what I see
But I can't stop looking at you
I would surely voice if I had a choice, but I don't
So please forgive what I do
Because all of my flaws and the harm that they cause are on you
So much vigor and will
But it still was a loss when you carried my cross up that hill
Ever shedding my skins
Good intentions they seem to haven't had me redeemed for my sins
In that letter I wrote
Are all the things I would do for my dreams to come true, but they won't

Frost

Go to sleep my dear
There's really nothing else we can devise
All the wounds we've borne
Are breaking open right before our eyes
But in the morning sun
This rigid frost will all but melt away
We'll turn the other cheek
And just pretend that everything's ok
Close your eyes my love
Let's take a moment to heal from this disease
I can't hear them now
The hurtful words that brought us to our knees
We can leave this place
The flowing river will carry our hearts down
Where it won't be this hard
To keep our precious love above the ground
Keep me close my dear
I never could have known I'd need you so
And though it's been so hard
There's nothing I would ever trade you know
You can count on me
I will hold you as long as I have arms
This will be my prayer
Guardian angels keeping us from harm

Golden Plains

I can't see where all these days have gone
It's been a year since I last had to take you home
There were stars in your eyes
We pack light and catch the break of dawn
(We catch the break of dawn)
And if I have to I'll leave everything I own
(Leave everything I own)
Cos it's time to shine
Well they tell me there's a reason
But who are they deceiving?
I hope those little pills don't stop my heart
And there's a storm that's deep inside her
And it's blowing all the wilder
But nothing can defeat me when I'm on these plains of gold
I bite so hard that I could break my jaw
(Thought I would break my jaw)
I'm trying to process all the alien things I saw
(Those alien things I saw)
As my mind runs wild
Well they tell me there's a reason
But who are they deceiving?
I hope those little pills don't stop my heart
And there's a storm that's deep inside her
And it's growing all the wilder
But nothing can defeat me while I'm on the plains of gold
Sometimes I feel all alone
Sometimes I feel I can’t go on
But it just sometimes
Then I feel alright
Now I see these golden days are gone
(Those golden days are gone)
And we are back in darkness right where we belong
(Right back where we belong)
But it's on the horizon
Well they tell me there's a reason
But who are they are deceiving?
I hope these little pills won't stop my heart
And it's a cure to my pathos
My chemical imbalance
But nothing can defeat me when I'm on these plains of gold

Stepping Stone
04:23

I don't know what to say, I think I'm going grey and now I know it's a stepping stone
Up at the rising sun, afraid of everyone and now I know it's a stepping stone.
And the will to stay is fading day by day and now I know.
Ever deep I fall, down the rabbit hole and I touch my toe on a stepping stone
Trying to face the facts
The monkey on my back
Is taking hold, as I lose control.
Climb out of the hole that's deeper than I know and down I go
Time ain't on my side
And from her I can't hide oh no
When all the pieces of my life descend and each one forms a line
Take my hand and show me where to go before I die.
And now I guess I know
And now I guess I know it's a stepping stone
Fire's burning bright
I look up to the night and now I know, that I gotta go.
Nothing's set in stone. This house is not my home but now I know, I gotta find my own.
Panic and regret
The cross I have to bear is all my own
Reaching for the line
But I’m running out of time time time
Before the pieces of my life descend and each one forms a line
Take my hand and show me where to go before I die.
And now I guess I know
And now I guess I know
And now I guess I know it's a stepping stone

I wake up alone
I look at my phone, it’s a Tuesday.
I scroll through the news, I shake off the blues with a screenplay
I wasted the day
I hide from my shame
I’ll need more than YouTube to help blow the boredom away.
There’s fear in the air
But don’t cry to me
Cos life it ain’t fair
I won’t fight the war
I’ll just lay in bed
And watch them all brawl it out
I’m afraid of the world
I hope they don’t know my opinion
The left and the right will all eat themselves for dominion
I guess that I’m blessed
That I could care less
Beautiful apathy helps put the problems to rest
There’s fear in the air
But don’t cry to me
Cos life it ain’t fair
I won’t fight the war
I’ll just lay in bed
And watch them all brawl it out
Oh don’t believe what they say
As they pump all that shit to your brain
All the world’s gone insane
Crush your spirit and cast it away
And I’ve seen what’s it worth
It’s a price I’m not willing to pay
Oh the drugs they don’t work
But the doc says I’m doing ok

Eggs
02:39

Time has slipped on by
And now I'm down to my last hook and my last line
If it'll fall out of me
The Lord he showed me the road
I walked the path I was showed and it has got me nowhere
As far as I can see
And to the door I've kept a key
Of all the words I've spoken
But when I check my eggs I see
That they are all broken
Believed that I'd seen the light
I clutched my rosary beads and held on tight
Like it was for my life
I caught myself a good catch
I laid my chickens to hatch
But then I met my match
Counting pieces of straw
And I still mean the words I said
In all the prayers I've spoken
I fold my hands and eat my bread
But all my eggs are broken
And if regret could turn back time
And if depression could make the sun shine
Then I'd be fighting with my wounds and tears
A thousands years away
But it's today
But it's today
