Just a Glimpse

I wanted change so I ran away
To see the world in a different way
A moment lost is just a memory gained
Forever, I’m with you
Caged up inside
Never mind what we had before
All of the world is in need of so much more
Could this be the end
Or the start of something beautiful
Yeah it’s time to let it go
I can see myself walking on the moon
Looking down from outer space
On people like you
Oh, I want to know what it’s like
To feel that cold
Never mind what we had before
All of the world is in need of so much more
Could this be the end
Or the start of something beautiful
Yeah it’s time to let it go
I thought I’d go for a stroll today
The roads turned to rivers
I can’t swim anyway
Black skies, close my eyes
It’s all the same Learning to live again
Saw my friend through an open door
A wave and a smile but we said no words
Never mind what we had before
All of the world is in need of so much more
Could this be the end
Or the start of something beautiful
Yeah it’s time to let it go

Ride On

Take a picture
For the camera’s eye
Throw it in a box till the day you die
Family’s over, looking around
A needle on the floor where you fell down
Ride on, ride on
Sister deer, traffic lights
Little small prayers and long white lines
Red box, paper stack
Leaving little notes, I ain’t coming back
Ride on, ride on
You died tonight
You ain’t coming home
We cried tonight
You ain’t the only one
You tried real hard
It ain’t your fault you’re gone
Makeup cut, trick in the lash
Catching all the eyes as strangers pass
Another shot, another try
You wanna see heaven
But you never wanna die
Ride on, ride on
You died tonight
You ain’t coming home
We cried tonight
You ain’t the only one
You tried real hard
It ain’t your fault you’re gone
I don’t know where I belong
You and I are all I’ve ever known
Sorry friend, I can’t play tonight
Fell victim to that snake
Man, it took my life
You died tonight
You ain’t coming home
We cried tonight
You ain’t the only one
You tried real hard
It ain’t your fault you’re gone
Take a picture
For the camera’s eye
Throw it in a box till the day you die
Family’s over, looking around
A needle on the floor where you fell down
Ride on, ride on

We All Need More

Reaching out beyond the thunder
See the lighting on the shore
Just a hundred thousand people coming out
We all need help, we all need more
The waves inhale the art of culture
The sea takes them deep forever more
A ship without the stars to guide me home
But where is home when everyone’s gone
Why did you go?
Kill yourself, go ahead and do it
Turn the old brown globe
You thought the Earth was flat
What an idiot
Go down the road
See you soon, nah just forget it
I’m better alone
See you man, sorry, you blew it
Feel the sand along the shoreline
The waves are calm for now
In a dream you know
You’ve been here before
And then you open your eyes
To see the second storm
You know I’ve seen the art of culture
Let’s all stand up and sing aloud
Maybe if you listen
You’ll find your way home
Maybe you’d just rather drown
Why did you go?
Kill yourself, go ahead and do it
Turn the old brown globe
You thought the Earth was flat
What an idiot
Go down the road
See you soon, nah just forget it
I’m better alone
See you man, sorry, you blew it
And this is when the people rise
And this is when the worlds collide
Reaching out beyond the thunder
See the lightning on the shore
Just a hundred thousand people coming out
We all need help, we all need more

On Your Own

Make way for the rest of your life
Yeah, you try so hard
New world leaders say
We’ve come so far
I can show you all the lies
I can’t tell you you’ll be alright
Black tracks and solar silence
Show me where you are
Cracked skies and oceans rising
Tear the world apart
I can show you all the lies
I can’t tell you you’ll be alright
Crack a whip in the morning
Rushing from my home
Cry like the thunder rolls
Across the open road
Fly with your demons
‘Cause they hold everything in your mind
I was wrong
Now you’re on your own
I can show you all the lies
I can’t tell you you’ll be alright
Crack a whip in the morning
Rushing from my home
Cry like the thunder rolls
Across the open road
Fly with your demons
‘Cause they hold everything in your mind
I was wrong
Now you’re on your own

Fire and Run

Come on, show me everything
I need to know if you can work for me
Can you do this for eternity
This job goes on and on and on
If you never sleep we’ll never fight
Yeah we work all day and strike at night
Death is just a number here
And don’t ask who I am
Fire and run
Yeah that’s the one
They’ll never see it coming
Fire and run
Yeah that’s the one
Let’s see you do it again
Oh I wish I closed my eyes
But the devil sewed them open tight
Now it’s me working for him
I’ll never win
Fire and run
Yeah that’s the one
They’ll never see it coming
Fire and run
Yeah that’s the one
Let’s see you do it again
Fire and run
Yeah that’s the one
They’ll never see it coming
Fire and run
Yeah that’s the one
Let’s see you do it again
Come on, show me everything
I need to know if you can work for me
Can you do this for eternity
This job goes on and on and on

Break Down
05:04
|

|
Sun rise with a fire fight
The wind sounds like a mother’s cry
Check your phone and then you go
You can’t seem to get it right
Tape on the check light
Break down on the side of the road
Strange voices in my head
Eyes fixed on the Internet
Newsfeed says we’re all alright
Tonight, tonight
I know you’ll find your way
You’ve never been so sure
Of any and everything
Break down, run away
The thoughts that crowded up your mind
Left today
Don’t look back
Everything’s changed
Don’t want to go back to that life anyway
No, let me go (I won’t let you go)
No, you won’t win
(You won’t, you won’t, you won’t, you won’t)
I will win (You won’t win)
No, let me go (I won’t let you)
No, I’m gonna win
(You won’t, you won’t, you won’t, you won’t)
You can’t do this to me
I will win
No, let me go (I won’t let you go)
(You won’t, you won’t, you won’t, you won’t)
No, I will win (You won’t win)
Tonight, tonight
I know you’ll find your way
You’ve never been so sure
Of any and everything
Break down, run away
The thoughts that crowded up your mind
Left today
