Lost VO.2

Lost VO.2

I get lost

Somehow all the lines implied

Don’t seem to separate the lanes

And we got turned around along the way

Kicking up rocks like all the dreams lost

Thrown back off and tossed past the cliff

From which we drift inch by inch

So I guess I tuck and roll

Or I guess lose my soul

Face the truth and fix the stare

Take the step and fair is fair

No care in hand, I can’t meet these demands

I get lost

From my side of the dream

Is it what you need?

I get lost

And I won’t let go

Black and gold with cruise control

Headlights guide the vibe to its end

I still sit and stare and watch from there

Shoot the apple and blow my mind

A perfect design to prove you right

Heres the towel I’m throwing the fight

I get lost from this end of the dream

Is it what you need

I get lost and I won’t let go

I get lost from everything you say

Is it what you mean

I get lost

I get lost

I get lost and I won’t let go

Prison Escape

Prison Escape

I wish I didn’t care at all

I’d like to wake up slow

To feel hear or see nothing

But I will and I know

Wheels will turn

Increasing pace

Leaving me blinded

And cities to waste

I wish it didn’t matter

That the well went dry

That Im left dragging back

While you never tried

Wheels will turn

Stuck in place

Leaving me blinded

And lust to waste

Wheels still turn

After pleading my case

You took what you could

accept empty space

I can’t accept what never was

You were never, you would never

I wish I didn’t come off

As a cling in defeat

but the wheels turn

And the choice is made

I need a new move

For this prison escape

We Are Alive

We Are Alive

We are who we are

Without a whistle

To be blown

We are so afraid

of the unknown

Where we grow

We are what we save

What we don’t show

A crippled crow

If we ever get out

Alive

We can make it out

Alive

We are who we are

Without reason

To unfold

We are so engaged

Into the weakness

From which we stray

We are who we need

To get through to us

To better days

If we ever get out

Alive

We can make it out

Alive

We are alive

Vicious And Forgiving

Vicious And Forgiving

The Circle Of Living

Broken dreams and all the streets you could have lived on

Holding on can’t bring upon a new reason to hold on to

And just when you think you got it, its gone

We shed light and life goes on

Sex don’t sell and the last of the wine drips

On a carpet in a house not on top of the list

And just when you lose all you think you’ve got

The thought remains and life goes on

Lost love or the notion of all seems to drain

Hopeless and careless to never be the same

But when one door closes another one opens

And life goes on just the same
