Taking it in is taking time. I was your one but you changed your mind. How was I supposed to know that you weren't fine? You walked around and smiled and kept everthing inside. Where is your heart? Where did we go? Time heals this now but time moves too slow when you're alone. I've still got faith in you and I. It's hard to accept this as goodbye. You laid this all upon me with no clear reason why. It breaks my heart to lose you. I just want you to want to try. Where is your your heart? Why did you go? I love more than you will ever know. You told me we'd get married... but you changed and I have to let go. I forgot how to be alone. This fear runs deep in my bones. Off into the great unknown with my heart sinking like a stone. 

Only Time Will Tell

The summes is over and I'm not so sure that I will see you that often anymore. Long for those young years when we were not afraid of anything but... the coming of this day came to fast. These young hearts won't last forever. And forever finally came. This new reflection is someone I don't know and this broken mirrors in pieces on the floor. If you could tell me just what the future holds, I might not be afraid of getting old. We're not growing up, we're just getting older all the time. Lights fading out as we sink into the darkness of all we ever wanted. Maybe we'll find meaning in the night; though it seems to be ourselves we need to find. I see all the evidence of time, its the effect of passing years thats out of sight. 

Growing Up

We used to wait up for the rain because back then, rain was all there was. We only had ourselves to blame for finding out where it came from. We used to wake up from the storm; the one thing wind could never drown. The house you built kept us all warm. When the kids are gone, you'll settle down. Remember life before the war we started, the war we've come to know. Forgetting who we used to be. Could you remember oh, could you remember for me? The skyline fell down like the rain. We waited through nights we got not sleep. That doesn't mean we had no dreams. Oh, we'll never know where we're going. All I know is, these lights will guide you home. We used to wake up from the rain because back then, rain was all there was. Could you remember oh, could you remember for me? Oh, where did you go? I don't know. I'm still searching for your ghost. I'm racing towards the coast. When this pain comes and goes, let these headlights take me home

Rain

Moving on with doubt and its been fourty days and fourty nights without you. And you're gone and on your own. It's so easy not to cae when you're not home. I'm learning to look behind my back because you covered up all your dirty tracks. You won't get the best of me like she got the best of you. I've been trying to tell you that I never throught anything about the past but I had to ask once I heard what you did. I'm having doubt because it's been fourty days and fourty nights without you. And you're counting all the hearts in your new collection. Did it ever cross your mind to seek redemption? Because now the people that you hurt the most mourn a living man because it feels like he's a ghost. I'm learning to look behind my back because you covered up all your dirty tracks. You won't get the best of me like she got the best of you. I've been trying to tell you that I never throught anything about the past but I had to ask once I heard what you did, now we all know what you did. In light of everything that's happened, I'm not sure how to forgive. I've forgotten how to forget. We never wanted it to end at all, especially like this. Sinking stones won't know the fucking ocean. Down is the only place to go. Gotta let em go down. I've learned to look behind my back when you cover up all your selfish acts. I won't let you get to me. I never got the best of you. I 've been trying to tell you that anything good can never last. But I had to ask, would you take back what you did? You can't take back what you did. Moving on with doubt and its been fourty days and fourty nights without you. And you're gone and on your own. It's so easy not to cae when you're not home. You're not home.

40 Days

She thought she had it figured out but she just didn't know. 
He thought he had her figured out but he just didn't know. 
I thought I had you figured out but I just didn't know. And now I'll never know. I got a feeling and it just won't away. Yeah, I'm keeping secrets. Everytime I go and plan my great escape the clock ticks and night takes the day. Put you're head phones in, they'll get you through this. I got a feeling and it just won't away and you're keeping secrets. Everytime I go and plan my great escape the clock ticks and night takes the day. 

Timebomb ((Headphones))

I fell below. I waited for you. I fell below now. So far down. 
Don't speak, here's my confession. All these lies are building up. I'm going to cave in. You gotta drink, it's your obsession. You fell below. 
Don't think about the question. Too much stress isn't good for your complexion. You've had enough. Where have you been? Covered in dust, your visions getting blurred again. Maybe somebody will remember. Maybe this box returns to sender. When it burns down, we're all up in smoke now. Like a fire in motion, we tried to escape. I never wanted us to crash and burn in flames but I've realized that I lost control now. Maybe some nights she goes out drinking. Maybe somebody takes her home. Maybe she forgets all the shit shes done to me. I can't quite remember what it felt like in the end. But you'll answer for your sins one day my friend. 

"Life's journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body. But rather, to skid in sideways, totally worn out and shouting 'holy shit, what a ride!'"

Return to Sender (featuring Richard Sztramko)

THATS RIGHT - We made a hip hop track. Its awesome and it goes like this:

It all started with an idea. The idea turned into a dream. Dream turned into a joke to some, taught the importance of a close team. Back of the bus, Rosa Parks. End of the pack is where I start. They told me tell the truth, I gave it from the heart. They want a sign of hope? I guess I'll light the spark. I never drown, noah's ark. 
Set your sights north. You'll be fine. Lay your head down, watch the sky. I hope you find a star that brings you home when I can't save you. One star can help you find yourself. I hope you have a song that calms you when no one can calm you. One song can save you from yourself. Set your sights north. I'll be fine. Let your hair down. Spend the night. I felt the earthquake when you kissed me under full moon sunlight. Reflections never bothered me. Planets are rising in the night. Here's to illumination. You've always felt so lost at sea. Iluminate the light behind a vision. Wishes and intuition, I'm driven to make a killing. I'll make it with what I'm given. These words are what I'm living. Baby, you're breaking yourself for your dreams. And maybe you'll learn for youself what you need. 


Solace (featuring TES a.k.a Tim Shelton)

There's a room in the future where I will die. This has room has been waiting for me all of my life. It may not be built yet but whenever it is... this room is where I'll cease to exist. 
There's a room in the future where we will be wed. This room is filled with people who all wish us the best. We don't know its location yet, so dear, until then, this room only exists inside your head. 
There are rooms in the past where all my ancestors were born.These rooms are all in ruins now but they used to have doors. And these doors would lead them to a world where they'd belong and one day, they'd leave me to write this song. 
In the future, there's a room inside a house that we will buy. And we'll fill it full of things we think we need for a good life. But we will not need a single one as long as you and I are together in that room every night. 
There's a room here and now where I sit and write these words. Words that will become a song that nobodies yet heard. But when you do, you all will hear it out and sing along inside of all the rooms where you all are. 

Rooms

Look down at the ground beneath my feet. I'm breathing, I'm alive. My blood pressure is rising now. Doc, check my vital signs. No fractures or contusions. No sickness of the mind. If everything is working, then why don't I feel fine? Look out as the ground beneath you drops and your footing falls away. It's more than I can bare now and I don't know what to say. I could hardly see the surface, I was drowing in the waves. You want some good advice girl? Don't take advice from me. I'm standing spinning around in circles. You're sitting on the other side of the world and you are on my mind. You were so hard to find. I will never let you down. Can't you see they're listening now. Just look at me now. I've learned to live without you. I've learned to take my time. I know I had to lose you and I know I'll be alright. I tend to think about it before I fall asleep and hope that in the morning you mean nothing to me. Staring at the embers won't tell you how the ashes will fall when the fire burns out and there's nothing left down here at all. Take your pictures down, take them all off the wall. They were hung to fall. Look out as the ground beneath you drops and your heart begins to break. You're such an easy target but I still miss you every day. I'm kicking for the surface, I'm fighting past the waves. The only thing I know now is: time will make the pain go away. 

Coincidences

Greiving is best done alone. There's safety in numbers but healing just takes too damn long. If you disliked the chorus would you sit through the verse? Would knowing the ending make it better or worse of a song? This is all wrong. I just want my head to stop ringing. Answer the phone, a message thats always repeating: caller unknown. Being afraid doesn't help. You stashed your true feelings on shelves deep in your mind. Somewhere where they're hard to find (Even for yourself.) We fought for the ocean and drowned in its seas. We ran for the hills and got lost in the trees on the way. The rescue brigade triend but they just couldn't save us. There, under the sky, we held open our eyes as planes above flew by. They looked just like the light of a small city falling down to earth tonight. Everybodies looking for something. I hope you find yourself looking for something that better than this. You can stop blaming yourself. I know that it still haunts you and for that, I wish you well.
