everything

I remember these things better than you
the sun still beats down the same as it used to do
the trees sprout from the same ground like they always do
the only thing that's changed somehow is you
goin' lo today
goin' lo again
but today might be the day to break it
I don't look into the past as much these days
I keep my eyes wide open come what may
and shadows don't follow me around and I don't hide
and everything I tried and failed falls by the wayside
goin' lo today
goin' lo again
but today might be the day to break it
I feel the same damn things I always did
i walk away and don't look back like I always do
and times they mesmerize and sometimes confuse
but it just pushes me further down the road from you
goin' lo today
goin' lo again
but today might be the day to break it 


goin' lo

Got to start living
for your dreams today
the life you've been given
is for real my friend

There's not much to go by
there's not much to know
you are the receiver
so catch it and go

No promises
no guarantees
no one but you
can say where it leads

Time's a river running away
the time we're given is slipping away
never to return again
never again

No passing it over
no shuffle the deck
the life you've been living
is sure one day to end

time's a river

I'm not alright with bad attitudes 
it's just not my type, like I think you're rude
when you're comin at me sayin 
that I'm not appreciating 
what you do and what you're saying 
then it's true and I'm just sayin 
it's not me it's you 
and your attitude 
there is a mountain 
of garbage you must climb 
to get to the top 
you must leave everything behind 
and once you get there 
suddenly you'll find 
it doesn't matter now 
you've been taken all this time 
for a ride  for a ride
you got a right to speak your mind 
but you pick a fight almost every time 
and when the cards are on the table 
and you say that you're unable 
to process my behavior 
and I am so unstable 
then I'm through with you 
and the attitude 

for a ride

Got so lost in ancient tales
which direction the wind prevails
who's the last emperor 
and where is there?

Woke up on a sailing ship
or maybe dreamed a magic trip
I got so lost
I didn't know where

Going to the western world 
And leaving the eastern land
Leaving on a bullet train
Shot like a grain of sand
Leaving Japan 

I drank plum wine and out all night
partied in electric light 
awoke to the rising sun 
and I was gone

I was facing down my darker fear
an inconducive atmosphere 
wishing I could disappear 
or maybe I did

Walking Tokyo streets at night 
always wet and under the blue light 
and solitary steps you might 
seek to hide

Drank plum wine and up all night
partied down in the moonlight 🌙 
woke to the rising sun 
and I was gone, I was gone

Going to the western world 
and leaving the eastern land
leaving on a bullet train 
shot like a grain of sand 
leaving Japan
leaving on a bullet train 
shot like a grain of sand 
leaving Japan 

Leaving Japan

we walk amongst the thousands 
we don't necessarily want in 
we know their plan it ain't workin
the only change comes from within 

everything you say and everything you do
is what they told you 
everything you see and believe is true 
is what they showed you 
we're off the rails again we are so far
we're off the rails again we're so far 
we're off the rails again we are so far away 
in our reflected day 

here you might sleep a thousand years 
until you wake without your fear 
all the times you think you've blown it
you punch the clock but you don't own it

we cried an ocean of tears inside 
and all our passion we hide
and they say it all takes time 
let's talk linear time we're down the line

off the rails again

when I was down I kept reaching on
for a dream of love and creation 
for no reason than the being of
the soul embodied in the light of love

but hey you say
it don't mean a thing anyway 
hey you can't change
what's never gonna change 
hey they say, hey they say

what we all choose is not when we lose
if we don't win we wanna do it again 
the repetition can never outlast
a new rendition not of the past

but hey you say
it don't mean a thing anyway 
hey you can't change 
what's never gonna change 
hey they say, hey they say

if I could thrive in a hateful world 
then in my heart it's what I hold
be in that moment and shine a light
there's a close to every single night

hey they say

half the time you win
the other half I lose
half the time you win 
the other half I lose 
half the time maybe all the time

half the time it's dark 
the other half I can't see
half the time it's dark 
the other half I can't see 
half the time maybe all the time 
half the time maybe all I can't see 

where is this going
where does this lead
where are we going 
where can it be 

half the time there's no answers 
the other half it beats me
half the time got no answers 
the other half it beats me 
half the time maybe all the time 
half the time it beats me 

what's the use in knowing 
where does this lead 
what's the use in knowing 
where can it be 

half the time I got nothin'
the other half you got everything 
half the time I got nothin' 
the other half you got everything 
half the time I got nothin' 
half the time I got nothin' 

half the time


Flew in on the wind
To the emerald isle
Reaching across the sea
Since I was a child 
There was music and song
The legend lives on
He's now gone but still lives on

A new generation 
But the feelings the same
Some things new to the table
But the fire burns the same way
It brings me home
To where I want to be
We're all here in the middle of the sea

Meet me out on the street
We'll share a pint or two when we meet
From County Cork you heard the stories
Raise a glass singing songs for Rory 
We can go down through the history then
Again my friend 

This day we remembered 
Times that once were 
We play all the songs
We sing all the words
Our hearts danced and sang
While the music rang loud
It plays on, it still lives on

Meet me out on the street
We'll share a pint or two when we meet
From County Cork you heard the stories
Raise a glass singing songs for Rory 
We can go down through the history then
Again my friend 

It was June fourteenth 
In 1995
A day we now celebrate 
His life
While we all want to shed a tear
He's still here for another year

Meet me out on the street
We'll share a pint or two when we meet
From County Cork you heard the stories
Raise a glass singing songs for Rory 
Meet me out on the street
We'll share a pint or two when we meet
From County Cork you heard the stories
Raise a glass singing songs for Rory 
We can go down through the history then
Again my friend 
Again my friend
Once again, once again my friend
My friend 


Songs For Rory

I been here so long 
I been hanging on 
even if I've been down 
when you're not around 

I'm reaching the point
I'm kinda nervous boy 
one more disappointment 
I get annoyed and spent

running away oh yeah 
running away again 
getting away 
getting away 

life goes on and on
even if I'm gone
if my trajectory down 
can't be brought back around 

running away oh yeah 
running away again 
getting away 
getting away 
running away oh yeah 
running away again 
getting away 
getting away 
don't you try, don't you try to stop me now
don't you try, don't you try convincing me somehow 

ever since I was young 
I had an urge to run 
I didn't need no one
to show me how it's done

running away oh yeah 
running away again 
getting away 
getting away 
running away oh yeah 
running away oh yeah 
getting away 
getting away 
don't you try, don't you try to stop me now 
don't you try, don't you try to reconvince me somehow 
don't you try, don't you try to stop me now 
getting away 
getting away 

running away

tonight I see the light 
shining from the moon
and I think about the nights 
that you put me through 

a real education 
took me off to school 
played my emotions 
played me for a fool 

but in this silence 
I see what you've done 
you made yourself so lonely 
and you made me so strong 

alone I stay there's no confusion anyway 
anything I felt was a delusion you would say 
but I see you clearly as you shut that door 
you don't know me anymore 

if I could change 
the pain into love
maybe someday 
you'll think of how it was

how you let me down 
how you woke me up 
how you're colder now
how I'm just warming up

alone I stay there's no confusion anyway 
anything I felt was a delusion you would say 
but I see you clearly as you shut that door 
you don't know me anymore 
anymore, anymore, 
you don't know me
you don't know me
anymore, anymore 
you don't know me 
you don't know me 

tonight I see the light 
shining from above 
and I think of you 
and I was so in love

it hurt me so bad
just to see you go
the sun will shine tomorrow 
one thing that you don't know 

alone I stay there's no confusion anyway 
anything I felt was a delusion you would say 
but I see you clearly as you shut that door 
you don't know me anymore 
you don't know me anymore 
you don't know me anymore 
anymore, anymore, anymore 

you don't nomeanymore

A Million Miles Away

it's not too late, it's not too late 
it's not too late, it's not too late to stay
it's not too late to go away 
it's not too late to go away from home
have to say half the way, half the way is so long
have to say in the city half the way alone
half asleep when you're waking 
and you dream, when you're sleeping, of home

it's not too late, it's not too late 
it's not too late, it's not too late to run away
it's not too late, it's not too late 
it's not too late, it's not too late to stay here
have to say in the city I can wait so long
have to say I can wait in the city so long
half awake when you're sleeping 
wide awake in a dream 
of today, I dreamt of today

it's not too late to fade away 
it's not too late to fade away home
it's not too late, it's not too late 
it's not too late, it's not too late to go back
have to say have to stay, have to wait for a stranger
have to say I can stay, I can stay I'm no stranger 
dream when you sleep 
to dream when you feel it 
you're lost in a dream of today


a dream of today

every way you led me in
just to do those things again 
sayin' I'll be there for you 
I'll come through for you 
and you just let me down again 
I'm sayin' it don't matter anyway 

in the darkness, dead of the night 
you're gonna reach for me but I'm nowhere in sight
in forgiveness I see the light
refracted from above right through our broken eyes 
our eyes, in our eyes

when you hear from me again
thought you'd wait for me you said 
did you not hear me 
don't you even care 
I told you of the honest truth 
I want to see you do the same 

in the darkness, dead of the night 
you're gonna reach for me but I'm nowhere in sight 
in forgiveness I see the light 
refracted from above right through our broken eyes 
our eyes, in our eyes

I see what's goin' on right here
I see the way now it's so clear
even though there's no escape 
and that's the point of it 
but you just never can be sure
I know it don't matter anymore 

in the darkness, dead of the night 
you're gonna reach for me but I'm nowhere in sight 
in forgiveness I see the light 
refracted from above right through our broken eyes 
our eyes, in our eyes 

if you really think it through 
if you feel it, it all comes back on you 
can you leave me here 
don't know, I'm not sure
what you doing with your life
or is it only yesterday?

in the darkness, dead of the night 
you're gonna reach for me but I'm nowhere in sight 
in forgiveness I see the light 
refracted from above right through our broken eyes 
our eyes, in our eyes 
in our eyes, our eyes

in our eyes

carry a cross, carry a flag
each of us gotta carve our own path
reclaim the future, relive the past
don't let this moment slip through your hands 
because today we can celebrate 
yesterday is just a memory 
make a move, take a stand
that is something I can understand 
we're in it together, push comes to shove 
or we can choose to take a path of love
because today we can celebrate 
yesterday is just a memory 
because today we can celebrate 
yes today is tomorrow's yesterday 
and tomorrow may come 
but we don't know which one
maybe in sorrow, maybe in fun
maybe I'll stay, maybe you'll see 
tomorrow today, tomorrow today 
but today we can celebrate
today we can celebrate 
yesterday is just a memory 
today we can celebrate 
carry a torch, carry the news
each of us, we got to choose
we got to decipher the words we use
and find a way to the higher truth
because today we can celebrate 
yesterday is just a memory 
today we can celebrate 
yesterday is just a memory 

today we can celebrate

never was I lookin' for a saint
never was I lookin' to be saved
when you would come around 
passively put me down
I didn't need jesus on that day
I did what I wanted
I did what I did 
never resonated for you
for you 
I wasn't doing anything 
I wasn't going anyplace 
you pulled up and I got triggered
my punishment you delivered 
I never related in that way
I did what I wanted 
I did what I did 
never resonated for you 
for you
I remember days when I was free 
I didn't know just what it meant to me
when you pushed me to the limit 
your avalanche and I was in it 
it was a saving grace for me 
I did what I wanted 
I did what I did 
never resonated, never resonated 
never resonated for you 
for you
I didn't welcome so much pain
I only wanted to escape 
when I saw my setting sun
I knew I had to run
and there could be no other way
I did what I wanted 
I did what I did 
never resonated, never resonated 
never resonated for you
for you 

never resonated 4U

buried in my heart, buried in my soul
the words I never say, the things I've never shown
better this way, buried all away
head's in the way, hidden all away

hiding it away, hiding it away 
hiding you away, there you'll stay

can't be your friend, can't be no friend
and you wouldn't care if no one's there
hand me your crumbs, hand me your crumbs
hide them away again my friend

hiding it away, hiding it away 
hiding you away, there you'll stay 

treat me so mean, treat me so mean
hide it away, hide it away
head's in the way, head's in the way 
hidden away from the light of day

hiding it away, hiding it away 
hiding you away, there you'll stay 
hiding it away, hiding it away 
hiding you away, there you'll stay
