A friend of mine
Said I do need a reason not to travel light
I’m turning blind to excess
So it’s hard to draw the line
I never said
That I won’t ever settle for a little less
Now let me out
Let me out
If I really fail
To get up again
Consider me blind
To the moments I crave
It is time to head on out
If I never cope
With the overflow
Consider me out
And then do as I don’t
You’re advised to travel light
My mind is slow
I don’t know how to process all the subtle signs
My soul is scarred
And I feel like I’m being pulled apart
I’m tripping up and I fall
As I feel a strange delight
Now let me out
Let me out
If I really fail
To get up again
Consider me blind
To the moments I crave
It is time to head on out
If I never cope
With the overflow
Consider me out
And then do as I don’t
You’re advised to travel light
You’re advised to carry on
We never really know how we get by
You’re advised to leave it all
You never really know what it’s good for
You’re advised to carry on
We never really know how we get by
You’re advised to leave it all
You never really know what it’s good for

No more stuck on beginner’s luck
I’ll be sticking to my bluff
I feel alone in my comfort zone
Wish me well and then I’ll go
But slowly I am learning to
Adjust my old routines to you
You’ll see the proof along the ride
Ease the brakes ‘cause we’ll be fine
In time
Am I allowed to be myself without
Taking up the glove?
How can I see what you can see
Be what you want me to be?
But slowly I am learning to
Adjust my old routines to you
You’ll see the proof along the ride
Ease the brakes ‘cause we’ll be fine
In time
If you suss me out
Would you let me in?
Cause we can go far
If we pick the battles we can win
You can mark my words
As they’re sinking in
But it wears me out to lift my head
When every bit in me is aching

The first year that she was around
Little finger in her mouth
She seemed a soap bubble machine
The second year she carried on
Being charming and along came all
Her endless fantasies
I don’t believe in intelligent design
But somehow she is divine
She became, though a bit shy
An entertainer in disguise
At three she had her fans to please
Then last year she bumped her head
Going up the stairs
And for one night the star was
mummified
I don’t believe in intelligent design
but she surely is divine
I can give her some advice
Tell her what or not to try
But sometimes good intentions can
be harsh
Forget inspirational speeches
Like “if you’re eager you can reach
it”
Manuals will never satisfy
You decide
The first year that she was around
Was a ride but just a start
I can’t tell her what’s ahead
Only that I’ll have her back

Anyhow (Even Now)

Got my lesson learned
And forgot it soon after I took a turn
But I'm cool with that
If anyone gets offended, it's their bad
It's so hard to change
It's tough to erase what I've learned the hard way
But you can confirm
No one tricks me unless, it's on my terms
Will I find
Will I find
Peace of mind
It'd be so
Justified
Anyhow
Will I find
Will I find
Peace of mind
It'd be so
Justified
Anyhow
Even now
How I should react
To any attack or blatant denial
I am quiet instead
Still figuring out the wires in my head
I could use more time
To pull me through before I decide
You say hope is here
If you prove it's real I'll start believing
Will I find
Will I find
Peace of mind
It'd be so
Justified
Anyhow
Will I find
Will I find
Peace of mind
It'd be so
Justified
Anyhow
Even now
Why do I feel so cold
When the fire's so close
Deception's never far
Why does time seem so slow
When these moments unfold?
Acceptance is a start
Why do I feel so cold
When the fire's so close
Deception's never far
Will I find
Will I find
Peace of mind
It'd be so
Justified
Anyhow
Will I find
Will I find
Peace of mind
It'd be so
Justified
Anyhow
Even now
Anyhow
Anyhow
Anyhow
Anyhow

I keep my secrets to my heart
Afraid to tell you from the start
That I don’t know ‘bout you but
I love you
One cliché could say it all
Like “I will catch you when you fall”
But I am way too slow to let you know
I’ve had some disillusions
Just by being too sincere
But since I met you I control
My internal cheer
I don’t know what you’re up to now
Or who you’re gonna choose
But then again in any case
I still love you
I could write a different song
‘Bout how I’d like to carry on
But what else can I do but love you
You’re systematically in charge
And god knows how it got that far
Though I don’t think the man
Has a plan
I may be long forgotten
But I cannot disappear
You can look away
But I’m still standing over here
I might be lost in pointless dreams
And far from every truth
But as far as I’m concerned
I still love you
I’ve got no expectations
I ain’t losing any sleep
And if you can’t care less
I won’t expect apologies
But then you turn to me and whisper
Something in my ear
Now it’s really time to make
My message clear
As I’m finally telling you
“I love you too”

I’m going through the different
Stages of my age
As if I’m feeling older now
Than I was yesterday
Making sense of past events just
Seems absurd
Some memories have disappeared
Some others are a blur
I wonder what it takes
To take some pride
In something that’s so easily
Lost in time
And I would tell you all
That’s on my mind
If only I could lie
If only I could lie
I was into whatever coming up my
Way
And looking back I guess I didn’t get
The part I played
Still all those years have never made
Me lose that spark
And if you care I will be there to hold
Onto your arms
I don’t know where I am at 39
And it could take a moment to arrive
But it might help me to figure out
What it’s all about
What it’s all about
I’m grateful for the reasons
I still feel alive
But nervous in the purposes made
Over time
But I think I’ll survive
I think I’ll survive
This is for the unexpected passersby
This is for the ones that sweetened
Up my life
I’m sure we’ll survive
I’m sure we’ll survive

Fire in the Lake
03:55

Said you never fought it
’Til the final day
How is it that you’re homesick
You never went away
So come on over
Before you choke
Who am I to ask for more
And what for?
When you’re getting closer
There’s fire in the lake
When you think it’s over
Somebody opens the gate
So come on over
Before you choke
Who am I to ask for more,
And what for?

The Road
03:09
|

There’s a road
A road I’ve been building to take you
Wherever you’d go
And you know
Your path might be clear now
but you’ll see
Some obstacles grow
(Ooh)
And you’ll find
Some roads that seem better
are better
But still take their toll
Pay no mind
Your roadblocks aren’t roadblocks
but hurdles
And hurdles can’t hold
(You)
You’ll see more than you can take
Soon as you go
What I can do is take it too
That way you’ll know
It’s only more than you can take
‘Til you let go
What I can do is take it too
That way you’ll know
There’s a road
A road I’ve been building to reach
You
Wherever you’d go
And you know
The path that I set you down ended
A long time ago
There’s a road
And it has a shoulder to rest on
When you’re running low
And you know
The path you were given was given
It’s nothing you owe
When you go
Don’t worry ‘bout letting me down
I’ll just see you below
And I hope
If you lose your way you’ll look back
And in looking you’ll know
There’s a road
A road I’ve been building to reach
You
Wherever you go
When you go
Remember it’s not how you get there
It’s how you get home

Wisdom Is Bliss
03:14
|
|||
No one seems to know
How high to raise the bar
We see the challenges
But do our best to keep them far
We need a plan but instead of this
We choose to contradict
That wisdom can be bliss
I don’t wanna say hello
To everyone I know
Neither could I stay inside
At ease at any price
I don’t wanna force a change
But it’s the only way
So the rant that I’ve begun
Tomorrow would be done
History likes to prove who’s wrong
And who’s right
How can a point be made when
Parts of it are being denied?
We need a plan but instead of this
We fear the consequence
Of every hit and miss

Keep Repeating
03:57
|
|||
Are you only being polite?
I can tell it from your smile
But even when the tension drops
The feeling doesn’t stop
It’s sticking to my skin
It’s tying up my wrists
Concealing it won’t do the trick
The impression still exists
But I don’t wanna feel this
It’s beating up my battered heart
If you still don’t see it
I will keep repeating
I don’t wanna feel this
You can question all my skills
You can call it what you will
A sculpture or a pile of stones
A painting or a spill
But to see a person care
Without really being there
Shows me how you can’t relate
To what I’ve got to say
I don’t wanna feel this
It’s beating up my battered heart
If you still don’t see it
I will keep repeating
I don’t wanna feel this

One Last Regret
05:34
|
|||
It’s what I haven’t done
That makes me what I’ve become
It’s what I always tend to do
That holds me back
From something new
It’s the day I quit
When I should have stuck to it
It’s the moment I’m about
To burn out
But there’s one regret
You’re quiet about
We should be talking out
‘Cause you shouldn’t ever end
Up with no confidence
What else is there left to do?
Stop feeling you’re about to lose
If someone is better off than you
It’s the younger me
Learning to show sympathy
Sometimes it’s the attitude
Taken when I had no clue
It’s the final call
Wasted right before the fall
It’s the valuable advice
Turned down
But there’s one regret
You’re quiet about
We should be talking out
‘Cause you shouldn’t ever end
Up with no confidence
What else is there left to do?
Stop feeling you’re about to lose
If someone is better off than you
There is one regret
A last one to talk about
‘Cause you shouldn’t ever end
Up with no confidence
What else is there left to do?
Stop feeling you’re about to lose
If someone is better off than you
