A song inspired by an amazing Friday night out in Atlanta, GA 1993 - I'd just arrived from Edinburgh, Scotland to stay with an old girlfriend of mine who was out for the night, when I got a call from a friend of hers called Les, asking if I wanted to go out - it was around 10pm. I was like "Yeah" but, as this was back in the days before mobile phones, we had to give each other details of what we looked like so we'd recognise each other. I got to the Highlander pub in Midtown an hour later, and the pub was jam packed. I thought there was no chance I'd find this guy... however, after managing to get a drink, I turned round and caught the eye of this cool looking dude who instantly shouted "Are you Gogs?" - I said YES and that was that - an instant friendship was made and we had a great night. Just two days later we played 5 songs together at an open mic night at Aunt Sally's bar. This is for you Les!

The Road Goes On Forever

Inspiration: Facing relationship strains

LYRICS:

Empty coffee cups on different sides of the bed
Sunrise paints your window, my night hasn't even bled
We built our world on laughter, now a void fills the air
Cracks in the foundation, a love beyond repair

We used to talk for hours, now the silence screams so loud
This hollow coexistence hangs like a thundercloud

We live in a house divided, hearts are on the mend
This fractured foundation won't hold till the end
We're living like strangers, adrift in the same space
Is this what forever looks like? Is this all we can embrace

You scroll through social feeds, while I chase fading dreams
Weekends spent in silence, lost in separate streams
Remember when we'd laugh, when our touches would ignite
Now our gazes barely meet, lost in the fading light

We used to talk for hours, now silence screams so loud
This hollow coexistence hangs like a thundercloud

We live in a house divided, hearts are on the mend
This fractured foundation won't hold till the end
We're living like strangers, adrift in the same space
Is this what forever looks like? Is this all we can embrace

Maybe if we tear it down, we can rebuild anew
Start over, stronger, with a love that's more than true
But for now the walls are crumbling, the cracks run far too deep
Are we past the point of saving? Are we destined not to keep

We live in a house divided, hearts are on the mend
This fractured foundation won't hold till the end
We're living like strangers, adrift in the same space
Is this what forever looks like? Is this all we can embrace

Lyrics:

I wonder how our feelings grow
Ain't it strange
The places our thoughts can go
Outer space
Wondering what path
I should take
It's strange to think about

Right now I hate reality
And this life
I'm trying hard not to repeat
Things twice
But mistakes keep piling up and I
Can't find the strength to leave

Dive
Headfirst into the pit
Fly
Don't you hesitate my love

You see I have learned my lessons through fear
The prices I've paid were far too near
To the heart that I sacrificed
Never got off easy with life

The scars I bear are my memories
I thought I'd run but I tend to freeze
When I'm faced with the bitter truth
Now I know how easily I bruise

And I'm trapped in this nightmare with no one to save me
(Can't go now)
If I try to escape I wonder if you'll hunt me
(Down this time)
My thoughts are all scattered but I have to calm down
(Stop and think)
I'm trapped in my own home there's nothing else to do
(But run away)
Run away

Sometimes i miss you and sometimes i don't
I never gave up on us, i had hope
I'll always try to remember the good times
But i still hate it when you are on my mind

(I'm the anomaly, I'm the anomaly)

one day at a time

This circle calls your name like fire that has bestowed upon another disbelief 
A disbelief that you were something 
could feel something yet not human 
not human like me 
Pressed upon my heart 
Subtle at the start 
Rest upon another shoreline 

Cast away another tear 
Don’t worry when I die I’ll always be right here 
You rip apart my dreams at night 
Lie to me and tell me everything will all be alright 
Cast away another tear 
Don’t worry when I die I’ll always be right here

If this is the fiction we live then I want to be etched out of every plot 
I’m tired of every false god and broken promises 
Again and again 
When do we learn for the better?
My wrists never heal from the limits I was to afraid to take 
So I close my eyes and take that leap of faith 
Into the circle of mistakes 

Cast away another tear 
Don’t worry when I die I’ll always be right here 
You rip apart my dreams at night 
Lie to me and tell me everything will all be alright 
Cast away another tear 
Don’t worry when I die I’ll always be right here 
You rip apart my dreams at night 
Lie to me and tell me everything will all be alright

Rise

Homelessness is deeply concerning all over the world, so this song is a reflection off the scenes and moods within the Alleyways.
