WALK AWAY Did you ever wake up to find, what you thought that ...

WALK AWAY
Did you ever wake up to find,
what you thought that you had lost was right
where you left it last
the future cannot change the past
And when you come back to someone that you love
And they’re no longer there, you don’t even care
No matter
There’s a lusty ghost who hovers in their space
But you still see a trace
You don’t have to stay
That is what you always say
And the truth will set you free
Don’t tell me that you lied to me
Because when I come back to
Someone that I love
I don’t even care
If they’re no longer there
What matters most is that their holy ghost
Still holds my face, in hands that I have traced
I can see the trace,
Of where you walked away, when you went away
WINNING HAND
Did you ever uncover the other
who was attempting to block your path?
with warnings of the future
divined solely from the past.
Did you ever wish on an illusion?
A mirror image so cold and flat?
A lucky dye or a lucky roller
One card short of a winning hand
Where I wanted to be by now
Is not this place though I have come far
To stand at the edge of the sea what now?
And what I wanted to say feels so far from my mouth now
You were the one I saw under the water
You were the one I saw in the sun
You were the one behind the mirror
Never close enough to touch

Autumn leaves that turn into flowers
Waves that crash and churn into drums
Songs that roll like locomotives
Drowning out the fearful one
What I wanted to say right now
so far away from my teeth and mouth
And where I wanted to be by now
Is not this place but I can see how
I’ll get there somehow
GET AWAY
How do you get away with all the things you say?
I’ve seen it all before,
you never shut the door completely,
all you need is a crack
to leave the past intact,
and start it all again just like it never ends,
All you want is more and more
And all you need is behind the door
Just a crack to let it in
Just a crack and it will begin
Well everybody’s got something to say
but they’d better know their place and let those who sin
And now it’s all too much, you say you’ve had enough,
I’ve heard it all before, you still go back for more
but this time it is a different time,
this time it feels like such a crime,
to throw it all away after the price you’ve paid.
Suck it up, hold it in,
Hold on tight, reel it in,
Through the crack that you left just in case you had any regrets,
Was it something someone said?
Was it someone who was dead who was your friend?
Haul it up, reel it in
Hold on tight and begin,
To rewind to a time when your life was less unkind,
before something that was dead became reborn inside your head.
Was it something someone said?
Was it something someone did who was your friend?
HE SAID
In my mind, are all the reasons he said,
I’m leaving, but I’m not moving too fast,
After all these years, I had expected some tears he said.
After all that I’ve done and everything that’s been sung,
do you really need to hear?
It was a sad day, but not such a bad way to go,
You said goodbye, and I said fine and I let go.
After all these years, I couldn’t let you near for fear,
It was all for the best, and you were one of the best I hear, my dear…
IN THIS WORLD
Won’t you help me?
And heal your body?
Won’t you give me, some kind of sign?
Cause I’ve been waiting for your saving,
And I can’t help it if I get tired.
It’s been so long now, since you’ve been strong,
And everybody wants you to try,
I’m just waiting for your saving,
can you help me to pass the time?
Cause everybody wants the same thing,
and it’s not easy to get up again when you fall.
You’ve got to crawl.
If you’re not with me then your against me
Why can’t you see any other side?
There’s some good guys, and there’s some bad girls,
And in-between lies, everyone else,
And there’s nobody who stands completely,
Alone in this world so make sure that you choose well,
Can you tell? Choose well
STRAIGHT AND STRONG
Do your feet move with you eyes, are you keeping time?
Did you follow all the dots?
Do they ever stop?

I’ve heard people running you down in your crowd.
Who do they think will be calling, when all the chips have fallen?
Hold you head away from it, don’t get sick.
Is your back still straight and strong, are you still young?
I’ve seen people falling down, and never hit the ground
Don’t ever hate the unfaithful, they’re simply waiting for their angel
Is she lying next to him, what do you think?
Was she dying to be free to show no mercy?
I’ve seen people turned around who once were so proud
Don’t hold your cards under the table
Never forget who was faithful
Please always wait for your angel
She’ll throw her cards on the table
GO HOME
And you’re flying your flag so high,
And you’re high as a kite,
All through the night, and the rocket strikes,
And you know that you could die,
And you know that you have to try,
No one will save you,
If you disobey you can never go home again,
come celebrate here, with all your friends.
Now is the time,
there’s no other time,
cross the line.
Your friend’s are beside you in death as in life,
cross the line
LUCKY ONE
Did you notice when you’re all alone,
Everything seems so unreal,
And you feel someone there, and you say you don’t care,
Pretty pictures and sad songs,
made for you and you alone
Can you see it through their eyes?
Do you think they realize?
And now you’re down and your feet are on the ground,
Will they come around and see your side?
That will never happen but it will come around again,
but you can’t get on and off this time
And you found the key but it’s broken
and it’s rusted out by the rain,
And you’ve forgotten that number,
the lucky one it’s always been the same
They were waiting by the back door,
to get in and take it all
You could see it in their eyes, and now you realize
And you found the key but you’re broken,
and you’ve been out too long in the rain,
and you’ve forgotten that number,
the lucky one is always in the name,
the lucky one is always in the name
WANT YOU TO KNOW
I want you to know wherever you go,
There’s someone behind you,
and no one besides you
Cause you were the best, of all of the rest
I knew it when I found you, that angels surround you,
I knew it when I found
They sang your song so loud
I’ve waited so long, hit so many walls,
I never was forsaken, but sorely mistaken,
Cause there comes a time, to run with your mind,
They’ll always try to stop you, but not this time,
This time Right now This time
Right now This time Right now
Well it just goes to show
Not everyone you know
Will be around forever
So let’s all go together
Right now Let’s go Right now
Let’s go Right now Let’s go!
