These Streets

Just let me run
Run back
towards the show
before the close
let me run
run away
towards the place
that you know
Verse 1
What do you want?”
WHEN WILL YOU GET back
where are we to meet
WHEN WILL YOU GET back
towards the friends you keep
want to see your GRACE
want to hold your hand
want to get in place
to be your biggest fan
When will you get back
you know you look a mess
took a shortcut by
using your gps
want to see this place
where I think you ran
want to feel your grace
make me your biggest fan
Chorus
Just let me run
Run back
towards the show
before the close
let me run
run away
towards the place
that you know
Verse 2
On the Streets at night
Where you walk alone
Followed your art to
fifth and stone
wandered far and wide
took it all in stride
and the truth is that
there's no going back
On the Streets at night
Where you walk alone
Followed your art to
fifth and stone
wandered far and wide
took it all in stride
and the truth is that
there's no going back

Miscalculations

Verse 1
If I were to tell you
just what I want
the shock the shock the shock
of what I feel.
The truth the truth the truth
is this not me
I used to want this life
but now I'm done.
Chorus
I am beat I am done
a miscalculation
of what you've seen
is what shown
just too much to hold on
Verse 2
Now that I have told you
just what I feel
the calls the calls the calls
will they stop?
Can I just for once
be who I am?
I want I want I want
for you to know me.

Tribulations

Verse 1
I see you lurking about
wandering round
burdened by desires you
just can't drown
you're gonna hurt someone
and when you do
you'll be on the run
ambitious thoughts
that may have cost your sanity
chorus
trails of
devastation devastation
through your
tribulations tribulations
Verse2
All the ghosts
THEY GATHER AROUND
haunting you
it drives you mad
the hunger will eat
right through
you're gonna hurt someone
oh when you do
you'll be on the run
a darker path
THAT TAKES YOU PAST
YOUR SANITY!

Strangers
Verse 1
Our cards were gin
already etched into our skin
Eyes like diamonds
time is rough and close to kin
A three ring circus we made
bound our hearts
clipped our wings?
Do you still feel the red line
frayed against the lapse of time
Chorus
What haunts like a memory
the one you felt but never seen
We've only been strangers
in our skin
There's danger in knowing
What you've lost
A century of frost
Verse 2
So our cards were dealt out
I wish you could deal it out again
As the stars crossed over
it lit the scene all wrong
Please don't ever come back
The strength I once had is gone
I can still hear breathing
lying next to someone else

Backbeat
04:35
|
|||
|
Verse 1
You look so different when
the morning sun kicks in.
Ashamed of facing truth
and I was just a name.
From the lost and found
where you'll always find me
only when you need me
a map to where i'll be
A map to where I'll be
Chorus
Life on the back beat
I walking down your street
sweat on my back
and my hearts on your sheet
Life on the back beat
I'm walking down your street
my head's in the gutter
my bonds? In the backset
OOOOOHHHHH WOOOOO
Verse 2
I'm quick to leave a trace.
Just so we are clear
I'm the one he'll call
Cuz I'm the one he heard
through all the noise and clamour
a map with all your needs?
a map without a key
a map without a key

The Ritzy Sheen

|
Verse 1
Well played, you dance on through
This Cinderella dream's not true
Wake up your friends are here
It's odd this time of year
Gold plush warms the winter hush
Hired jewels keep you loved so much
When will the banks run dry
with honest friends you left behind
Chorus
Ritzy Sheen
Played-out glamorous dreams
Are you tired?
Aren't you tired?
Verse 2
What lies beyond dead eyes?
Ran around a thousand times.
Memories remembered wrong
with debutantes who tagged along
Fake stories of fake people
lies where the glitzy hearts abide
A generation of control
What's the latest thing you sold?
Chorus
Ritzy Sheen
Played-out glamours dreams
Are you tired?
Aren't you tired?

No One Else
05:22

Verse 1
Silence wake me
clear and solitary
No one around to
doubt and misjudge you
I stand in the middle
the city held millions
no one around now
a pleasure somehow
where did the dreams go?
I’m fine on my own.
Verse 2
I drive and I drive on
in no one’s car
won’t really matter
when you go faster
I search like crazy
for people like me
NO ONE ELSE AROUND

Earth And Moon
03:32
|
|||
|
A light from so far
and in the dark
the moon shines bright
and so alone tonight
In ancient times
In better times
When life grew wise
Upon My tides
Chorus
The Earth is pretty up here
but did you know that
It's really shitty down there
It's really shitty down there
What would you think
If I had told you
I had an abundance of life
that slowly died
The Earth is pretty up here
but did you know that
it's really shitty down there
it's really shitty down there
One day when we breathe the same breath
We'll be at peace

Grit
03:49
|
|||
|
Verse 1
I held my breath
Wrapped, in a blanket of tides
Will you come for me
Wring me out and bring me peace
Peeled down to the grit
But your burdens are still at your feet
Will you comfort me
Keep me close or I’ll retreat
Finding My Way Home
Doubt is rapping on my front door
Will you come for me
Follow close and find relief
pre chorus
The Quiet voices told me
That I should come along
And held my hands closely
To fend off all my wrongs
The shock through silence mend me
and I could not belong
the sound of your heart beating
that make my heart complete
chorus
Moments in a reflection
A den venomous stares
Changing of dreams’ perfection
desires too much to bare
Repeat
