Troubled Times

Troubled times make troubled minds
And I can’t pretend
It doesn’t affect me
Stuck inside a lonely mind
Watching the world
crumble beneath my feet
Don’t you tell me it’s alright
I’ll burst into flames
Troubled times make worried lines
Across my face and beneath my eyes
Frozen in the tundra
it’s been 80 years since I last felt time
Don’t you tell me it’s alright
I’ll turn the page
There might be nothing out there
That gives me some relief (hoo-hoo)
Feel my brain caught in a standstill forced to listen to itself speak (hoo-hoo)
Staring at the ceiling as the world around sleeps in time
It’s all I can do to just feel alive
Let me feel alive
Troubles times make worried minds
I’m losin’ a fight I’m picking time after time
Told I’m squarely in my prime
Then why does it feel like I’m crumbling inside
Do to you tell me it’s alright
I’ll blast into space
There might be nothing out there
That gives me some relief (hoo-hoo)
Feel my brain caught in a standstill forced to listen to itself speak (hoo-hoo)
Staring at the ceiling as the world around sleeps in time
Staring at my reflection at a pair of tired eyes
It’s all I can do to just feel alive

Sara's Dream

Look at what we’ve found today
All the all the joy that we locked away
Didn’t find searching high or low
And it’s just started taking shape
Look at what we found today
After all of the secrets we locked away
Didn’t find searching high or low
And it’s just started taking shape
We’ve been survivin’
Through broken years and the longest nights we’ve
Had trouble keepin’ it jivin
It’s hard work livin in misery
But I think we found it
A subtle turn but it’s growin day by day
And when we get around to it
We’ll mend as much as we can reach
Look at what we’ve found today
All the all the joy that we locked away
Didn’t find searching high or low
And it’s just started taking shape
Look at what we found today
After the lies in the lemonade
Didn’t find searching high or low
And it’s just started taking shape
We’ve got a limited vision
On a course for collision you and me
thought I lost all my religion
Livin’ out my parents’ prophecy
But I think we found it
A new home in what once was empty
And when we get around to it
It’s all sunlight and open seas
Look at what we’ve found today
All the all the joy that we locked away
Didn’t find searching high or low
And it’s just started taking shape
Look at what we found today
After the lies in the lemonade
Didn’t find searching high or low
And it’s just started taking shape
Look at what we found today (x4)
Todayyyyyyyy

Back To You

Oh baby seasons change like people
Oh how the people come and go
She’s not a soul in need of mending
But a soul in need of glow
And how I tried so hard to show you
In the darkest of the day
That it’s the dark that does unite us
But it’s the dark that never stays
Pre-Chorus:
Thought I was far away
Thought I was far away
But she gave me the red light
I found out just yesterday, and now I’m
Back to you, still runnin’
Back to you , and it was such
Paradise, thinking I had
escaped you, And now I’m
Back to you, still runnin’
Back to you , and it was such
Paradise, thinking I had
escaped you
I’m back to you
Oh baby sharpen your razor wire
Just a moment ‘til I walk
Baby crowds will oog and oggle at the
Moment that I fall
When we kissed outside her doorway you know I’d
Thought I heard the call
But the day I put my guard down was the
Day she built her wall
Thought I was far away
Thought I was far away
But she gave me the red light
I found out just yesterday, and now I’m
Back to you, still runnin’
Back to you , and it was such
Paradise, thinking I had
escaped you, And now I’m
Back to you, still runnin’
Back to you , and it was such
Paradise, thinking I had
escaped you
I’m back to you
And I’ll come just one more time
Til’ I drop the other line
It’s amazing how you always let me in
It’s amazing how you
always get the last grin
Back to you, still runnin’
Back to you , and it was such
Paradise, thinking I had
escaped you, And now I’m
Back to you, still runnin’
Back to you , and it was such
Paradise, thinking I had
escaped you, And now I’m
Back to you, still runnin’
Back to you , and it was such
Paradise, thinking I had
escaped you
I’m back to you

Lies of Youth

It gets busy runnin all around tryin’ to clear your mind
It gets dizzy spinning round and round makin’ money and passing time
Then someone in the back the room asks ya who you think you are
Livin a life they don’t understand you’re just one to many bridges too far
It sucks all the air out of the room
But you’ve been around long enough to know what to do
Remember the lies of youth
Drag us further from the truth
That not everyone will be happy not everyone will approve
The lies of youth
It gets strange livin in a world
As a one without a two
It gets heavy picking up the pieces
Of a life that’s come unglued
And someone in the back of the room asks you what your gonna do
Laying round and smoke it all like you’ve got nothin to prove
It makes your eyes roll all around in your head
But just remember this instead
That the lies of youth
Drag us further from the truth
That no one can make you happy
The only one is you
The lies of youth
Remember the lies of youth
Drag us further from the truth
That not everyone will be happy not everyone will approve
The lies of youth

Well I tried to find the secrets but I can't believe them
I thought I'd find some truth somewhere in your eyes
Well I tried to find the secrets but I can't believe them
I thought I'd find some truth somewhere in your eyes
It's the bitter taste of knowing, there's something showing
But what it is i can't define
OOO
One more for the read
OOO
Til it's time to go
When I tried to find the answers to a million little questions
But one day I just realized
I'd lost count of the excuses, accusations and bruises
Pretending everything is all right
OOO
One more for the read
OOO
Til it's time to go
Well I tried to find the secrets but I can't believe them
I thought I'd find some truth somewhere in your eyes
OOO
One more for the read
OOO
Til it's time to go
Well I tried to find the secrets but I can't believe them
I thought I'd find some truth somewhere in your eyes
