Run away
I dream about it every single day
Close to me
Somewhere that you never seem to be
In my mind
We're wasting all of our precious time
Can it be
I'm all alone
Trying to get away from home
Underground
Everything is upside down
Quarantine
Everything that ever was is now a memory
In my head
Empty words I never said
Rescue me
I'm on my own
(solo)
Go outside
Gather every feeling you find
Clarity
You never know
Over time
Remember what it means to be alive
Can't you see
We're not alone
Just far away from home

Palm Trees & Oceans

Living on the road is something I have never known
I may eventually
Just before we met, I had a life I won't forget
For all eternity
Take a little time
And send me down the line
I said you were the best, I knew you deeper than the rest
Silly sympathy
When all is said and done, you go and take it on the run
Abuse my empathy
Take off, take care
You're never even there
And now I'm caught in emotion
Disillusioned by your pride
I was wrong to keep you on my mind
Yeah, on my mind
(solo)
Wander around
You said you're leaving town
'Cause you want palm trees and oceans
Something I cannot provide
And I know it's just a waste of time, yeah
'Cause I want love and devotion
And babe, you never even tried
How can I expect to give you mine
Yeah, I'll never give you mine
Cause I want love and devotion, yeah
And I'll never give you mine

Affinity
03:28
|

The world is broken and it's hanging by a thread
But that ain't stopping me, at least until I'm dead
Trace the hillside, traverse another ridge
Run my mouth about somebody's privilege
I don't know
What it is I got to show
I kept my promises, I told my share of lies
Obsession and affinity, until I realized
Things are changing, not always for the best
Just take the good parts and gamble all the rest
Yeah, I'm okay
I won't be no other way
(solo)
I write of broken hearts, what gets under my skin
Trips and tragedies, created from within
Everybody's getting bored of living all the time
They keep on scrolling so they make it through the night
Well, am I wrong
To believe I don't belong

The Wall
04:43

Time slipping by
Clock's ticking, I think I'm running out of time
Tear in my eye
I've climbed mountains, but no challenge like my mind
We built bridges, but they fell
You cut the rope, but babe, I swear I'd never tell
Now let's see what they can find
Hate spewing from your face
But I am my own man, so I'm calling off the race
And don't forget that I can climb
When you said you had me
I should've known I was headed for a fall
And when you said you loved me
I was alone, stranded on the wall
Take my advice
I'd run yonder, maybe find another place
I paid the price
And I can't stand to see your petty face
I raise my hand into the wind
The stones I touch will lead me right back home again
This is how I clear my mind
And I'll stand above the trees
My hands are warm and then my heart begins to freeze
And I'm not telling where I hide
When you said you had me
I should've known I was headed for a fall
And when you said you loved me
I was alone standing on the wall

Solitude
03:51
|

|
I was on another mountain, I guess they're all the same
I know I heard a voice and it was calling out my name
But I've changed
I've changed
I'm never coming down for no one, anyway
Twenty two years of falling, then I finally learned to climb
All this news and talking has been wasting my time
Now I'm gone
I'm gone
The only way left to go is farther on
Yeah
Take a look in my eyes
Discover something new
Where I run away and hide
Take a look and you'll find
My sense of solitude
That can ease away your troubled mind
(solo)
Back inside the city, I found her walking in the hall
I'm bleeding all this darkness, how could she love me at all
Now I'm grown
Yes, I'm grown
I can love somebody and somehow stay alone
Oh yeah
Take a look in my eyes
Discover something new
Where I run away and hide
Take a look and you'll find
My sense of solitude
That can ease away your troubled mind

Permafrost
03:36
|
|||
|
I sleep through the sunshine
And I wither in the rain
I'm out to cast away the hurt
That lingers in the brain
And no one's gonna find me
When I'm lost and out of sight
Now I'm craving something
That could bring me to the light
I'm looking for some affection
I know that I'm out of line
I'm hungry and I'm cold
And it is frozen in my soul
But hey, what's the cost
I lived a life of sickness
And I've never been in health
And everything that I lament
I blame on someone else
There's no one else around me
So I guess I'm feeling fine
I'll have to look inside myself
And read between the lines
I'm going the wrong direction
I'll figure it out in time
The pain is creeping in
And it is feeding from within
And in a way, all is lost
Permafrost

Shades of Blue
04:05

Everybody's looking for redemption
Seems the more I live, the less I try
Now and then, it comes to my attention
What I need to learn before I die
How can I be strong
When I don't even wanna say goodbye
It seems like you've been making progress
In ways I'll never understand
I've been told that life is not a contest
I guess I'll find out in the end
We could never survive
Sometimes I wonder why we played pretend
(solo)
I wasn't aware it was a downfall
To cast away what isn't true
And now you've chained me to this concrete wall
And painted my heart shades of blue
Some things never change
But I've never been the same since I left you

Troubled Harmony
04:43
|

|
Am I the one you want
You're the one I need
I try to fill the void
That's haunting me
Haunting me
Fleeing through the hills
The sun begins to rise
I see my happiness return
Within your eyes
In your eyes
Time to tell me
What you want to find
Will you let me
Open up your mind
I came in from the mountains
The sky was a stark shade of grey
But my thoughts weren't with those clouds
That lingered there that day
That day
My thoughts were with you, love
Times when I was by your side
But now I want to see you
In real life
Time to see it
Who I've come to be
Now we're free in
Troubled Harmony

Martian Revelation
02:53
|
|||
|
All my life I've tried to be someone that can't be seen
High up in the mountains and among the evergreens
Who am I to seek the love I say I'll never find
When I fear to bear my soul and leave it all behind
But I'm on my way
Escaping from society
Yes, I'm on my way
Trying to live my life comfortably
I was seeking refuge from the pain that I defined
But everything that I lamented lived inside my mind
And though I prayed the wilderness could somehow set me free
I'm the only one to break the shadow over me
Now I'm on my way
Speaking the words that rarely get spoken
Yes, I'm on my way
Mending all the hearts I had broken
Yes, I'm on my way
Recovering serenity
Yes, I'm on my way
Discovering the Martian in me

Gettin' By
03:44
|
|||
|
Had to put down the bottle
And spend some time outside
When I'm thrown in some drama
I gotta find a new place to hide
Keep on gettin' in trouble
Maybe that's my style
Then you make it double
When I see you smile
I'm a little guy
But I'm gettin' by
A little guy
But I'm gettin' by
Women fool me too much
Men just wanna touch you then leave
Well love is just some emotional crutch
And it's not for me
I look over my shoulder
There's no familiar face
Guess I'm growing older
Better find my place
Cause I'm a little guy
But I'm gettin' by
A little guy
But I'm gettin' by
Yeah
(solo)
Cause I'm a little guy
But I'm gettin' by
A little guy
But I'm gettin' by
A little guy
But I'm gettin' by
A little guy
But I'm gettin' by
Yes, I'm gettin' by
Yeah, I'm gettin' by
