ONE MORE STEP

I’ve been waging a war in the darkness 
Charging like a cavalier
And waving a flag with a plan of attack 
To make it out, make it out of here

One more step, one more step
One more step to make it out of here 
One more step, one more step
To leave, leave this town

I never see the sun, ‘cause my head is buried in the clouds 
Could I scale these walls to find that I’m the only, the only one? 
The only one?

With the weight of the world on my shoulders
God, I hope the greener grass is near
‘Cause I’ve burned every bridge, saying “right, this is it!” 
Time to make it out, make it out of here

One more step, one more step
One more step to make it out of here 
One more step, one more step
To leave, leave this town

I never see the sun, ‘cause my head is buried in the clouds 
Could I scale these walls to find that I’m the only, the only one?
The only one?
Could I scale these walls to find that I’m the only, the only one?

Take me somewhere with a foreign tongue 
And maybe then I’ll know my life’s begun, oh

One more step, one more step
One more step to make it out of here 
One more step, one more step
To leave, to leave this town

I never see the sun, ‘cause my head is buried in the clouds
Could I scale these walls to find that I’m the only, the only one? 
I never see the sun, but I dream of breaking through the clouds 
Could I scale these walls to find that I’m the only, the only one? 
The only one?

SAIL AWAY

I don’t know if I will run aground
When the waves are tall enough to touch the clouds
I don’t know if I can brave the swell
When the world is spinning out of sync, like a drunken carousel

But love is all I need
Come and sail away with me
Hold me closer
Take me higher
Be the air I breathe
‘Cause love is all I need

I don’t know why I am colour blind
Just a broken bulb that flickers black to white
But you’re drawing a rainbow out of me
When I’m fading in and out again, fading in and out again

Love is all I need
So, come and sail away with me
Hold me closer
Take me higher
Be the air I breathe
‘Cause love is all I need

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
When the waves are tall enough to touch the clouds
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
When I’m fading in and out again
Circling the drain and I can’t get out
I can’t get out

Love is all I need
So, come and sail away with me
Hold me closer
Take me higher
Be the air I breathe
‘Cause love is all I need
So, come and sail away with me

Sail Away

Blood red stains on the church whites
And you can’t wash it away in the blue tide

Near death means you get the better vote
I guess I should get on the next boat
Out of here, to no where near
Honestly I don’t know how I’m gonna stay
Honestly I have nothing good to say
About the way this place is going

Blood red stains on the church whites
And you can’t wash it away in the blue tide
Beloved American past times
Tv channel flickers
Assassination to genocide

Across the seas a mother holds her baby in her arms
Neither one are breathing, both were unarmed

I put that into retrospect while walking to school
Unfair to think of it casually “a one sided duel”
Fireworks are shining and the bombs are going off
Overhead planes are flying, children see and duck
Into graveyards of fallen buildings
And tear induced rust
A fear induced rush, no where to run to
Burning bridges, burning cities. 
Families dying, no one’s leaving
“God are you seeing this? God where are you?”

Blood red stains on the church whites
And you can’t wash it away in the blue tide
Beloved American past times
Tv channel flickers
genocide to my life

Blame women for everything 
Depend on one for your every need
It’s hypocritical but I think it’s fairly typical
Stereotypical man-child 
Stereo blares out like spit fire
Sterile codes, robotically not trying 

Nihilistic point of view
Don’t know what I’m gonna do
Don’t know where I’m gonna go
Ask the doctor “what do you know”
“You’re okay. You’ll be fine. Have a seat. Take a bite”
Going out, out of town
Don’t know where
Don’t know how
Don’t know this
Don’t know that
“Get a job”
“Lay out flat in the rain, wash away everything”
The ember days.
The worlds in fire
There’s no snow globes now
If you scream, no one will hear it
Might as well burn down
Red, white, and blue
Like a bruise on the country’s ego. Hm

Blood red stains on the church whites
And you can’t wash it away in the blue tide
Beloved American past times
Tv channel flickers
What is it this time?

Kiteezi touch me, can`t just slip away rubbish landslide: -  at a rubbish dump in Uganda’s capital, Kampala, has killed people,after torrential rain broke off a huge chunk of rubbish at Kiteezi, the city’s only landfill site. The landslide buried people, livestock and homes as residents slept.

Kiteezi touch me, outside of the window when it's raining, come on come on come on - now touch me Kiteezi: - Can't you see what they said, what was that promise that they made 'Til the heavens stop the rain`Kiteezi going to remain you 'Til the stars fall from the sky`for the people who died.
