City on Fire

All the songs I love are written by people who fade away
How can I trust anyone when they just want their own way?
Silence isn’t golden when it’s time to have something to say
We are just kids, wide open and vulnerable
In a city on fire burning out of control
One by one we fall until there’s no one left to lead the way
We thought they would save us but our dreams were all naivete
Every single lie became the ember that went up in flames
We are just kids, wide open and vulnerable
In a city on fire burning out of control
This is the breakdown
Of all we thought was safe for us
A place for us
Home to us
Do we even know how to let go?
The wind carries us to the edge of the wilderness
‘Exiled Outliers’ tattooed upon our flesh
But the desert is a refuge when the city is burning down
We are just kids, wide open and vulnerable
In a city on fire burning out of control
This is the breakdown
Of all we thought was safe for us
A place for us
Home to us
Do we even know how to let go?
‘Cause we can’t go back
Torn apart
Unraveling
Can’t go back
We need a
Unraveling
Can’t go back
The flames are the way forward
The flames are the way
We need a breakdown
Before we start to build again
So can we just let go

Another Love

I was born in a war zone
Told to pick sides so I chose one
We were so good together
But you had eyes for another
You started to think you owned me
It was all in your head
What you took
I never gave
What you did was a mistake
That you don’t see
You can’t love someone
When you won’t let go
Of another love
When you won’t say no
Rivers always find the lowest ground
Catch me up and carry me out
Come to me and show me I am found
I don’t want to be alone
I’m a long way from home
Call me a rebel, a vagabond
You don’t understand
I will live
I will wander
You’ll be drunk on your power
Or what’s left of it
Stop trying to make excuses
For everything you’ve said
All the messes that you made
There’s not a chance that I’ll take the blame
No matter what you say
You can’t love someone
When you won’t let go
Of another love
When you won’t say no
Rivers always find the lowest ground
Catch me up and carry me out
Come to me and show me I am found
I don’t want to be alone
Careful of the burdens
Careful of distortion
Careful of the burdens
Careful of persuasions
Careful of the burdens
Waiting to constrain you
Careful

My Heroes

Save me
I don’t want to stay here
I have had to bury more than you know
All because you refuse to listen
Save me
From the domination
You want me invisible even though
I’m the one making all the difference
Nothing I can do to change your minds
Leaving is the only way sometimes
To live but I still die a little bit inside
Save me
I don’t want to hate you
Every time the words come out of your mouth
Play the part
I know you won’t lose
Nothing I can do to change your minds
Leaving is the only way sometimes
To live but I still die a little bit inside
I’m tired of fighting
For my place, for a place
What else is there to do
When you tell me
Keep your head down
Don’t look up
Say the right thing
Not too much
Nothing is ever enough
Nothing is ever enough
I came in peace
But it cost so much
My heroes go another way
Through shadows
In obscurity
Our present is their history
My heroes
Travel lightly here
As strangers
Walking through my dreams
Conforming is a trivial thing

Steady Now

Steady now
You’ve not been
This way before
You’re going in
Innocent
Brace for collision
For the dark
Is part
Of the course
Take your time
Step by step
Gradual victory
Don’t forget
Significance
Wrecks like a tempest
Know the dark
Is part
Of the course
It’s part
Of the course
Heart wide open
Don’t shut down now
Find solace
Slow burning
Use your heart and you will understand
Use your heart to help you understand
Find solace
Look for it
It’s just darkness, only darkness
It’s just dark here
For now

Reach Out to Me
05:06

I belong to a place
Ancient and strange
Where the shadows take flight
And nobody will tell you a lie
An unshakeable place
Ancient and strange
An explosion of life
Where the music will never die
I can feel you
Like a storm
Overshadows
All I know
I can hear you
In my head, in my head
It’s like a sort of circuitry we share
We are not far
Reach out to me
Reach out to me
Catching movement
Subtle drifts
Lift you up
And out of it
This is how we find ourselves, find ourselves
Inside the desolation of our minds
You don’t just disappear
Like you think
Like you feel
Reach out to me
I reach for you
Reach out
Push through the disconnection, we aren’t too far away
Reach out to me, reach out
I belong to a place
Ancient and strange
Where the shadows take flight
And nobody will tell you a lie
An explosion of life
Where the music will never die

Every Golden Hour

Everything became like sunrise
I can still see the changing shapes
Beckoning while I held my breath
You were asleep
I sang a song
And you liked it that way
And you liked it that way
And we were together
Every song I sing
Is a road that leads
To our own story
We are just beginning
