Since there's been some requests for lyrics I've put them up here

Riding out, letting go of the broken
One track minded eyes open
The silver lining, ain’t so hard to reach it
Even though I tried
Couldn’t let it lie if I wanted to
I am the soldier of my war inside fighting for it I hold on

And I don’t know if it’s right or wrong
But I’ve been led down here for too long
For too long

Breaking out
I don’t wanna wait the change
I can’t stand I gotta get out of here
I gotta get out of here

Light it up, throw what held me behind me now
I’m my own and I know it now
I got it all to lose
And I don’t care it’s for me to chose what I wanna be

And I don’t know if it’s right or wrong
But I’ve been led down here for too long
For too long

Breaking out
I don’t wanna wait the change
I can’t stand I gotta get out of here
I gotta get out of here
Breaking out
I don’t wanna be the same
I can’t stand I gotta get out of here
I gotta get out of here

We’re marching on, on our own, broken places broken homes
Make a change and no one knows, weary holding onto hope
We’re all moving we’re all searching for a new escape
We can change it, make it, break it unified and we can fight it
Make a story redesign it, let it go and redefine it
Live the moment, take the stand, be the ruler, it’s all in your hands

Breaking out
I don’t wanna wait the change
I can’t stand I gotta get out of here
I gotta get out of here
Breaking out
I don’t wanna be the same
I can’t stand I gotta get out of here
I gotta get out of here

Lets Jump Ship! (Lyrics)

This is a song for the disillusioned
The forgotten, the left behind
We’ll jump this endless shipwreck together
Take the weight on our shoulders and be just fine

I’ve taken my time rehearsing these lines
Considered the rhythm the meaning and rhyme
As I try to find answers, I manage to scrawl
A collection of word not written before

I dust myself off and I start again
Cause a life with hope’s worth living
I’ve taken some beatings, been knocked down
I always get back up, both feet on the ground

I’ll pick myself up and start again
Cause this is a life thats worth living
No matter how many bruises I may collect
Broken hearts or sorrowful regrets

My hearts fit to burst with chorus and verse
There’s a fire in my belly now I’ve found the words
My soul’s fit to burst with passion and song
And I ain’t gonna give up until I’m done

End section lines:

I’m gonna sing ‘till my throat runs dry

Open these arms so that they are wide

Let’s grab this life, with both hands

Let’s jump this ship, swim back to land

The One is a song that is inspired by love for someone but it could also be interpreted as being tinged with a little sadness about loss and longing and the passage of time. It is a reflective song about life long relationships and those special memories that stay with you forever. It’s also about looking at your feelings for someone who is not necessarily a lover or a partner but someone who has touched your soul in an unexpected and unique way. Much of the inspiration for the song came from the love I feel for my brothers little boy who is just two years old. I feel incredibly lucky to have him in my life and the love I feel for him is quite overwhelming sometimes and has really taken me by surprise. I am his uncle but also his guardian and I feel very lucky to have him in my life. But I think it is best if people listen to the song and relate to it in their own way, it can mean whatever you want it to mean really but I suppose ultimately it is about love. The music video tells a bit of a story which I think illustrates the song from my perspective pretty well.
