All My Life 06:12
Everywhere there's balance With white comes black And a shade of grey won't stain A bird that won't fly won't crash As time goes by Don't cross the line For the rest of my life I know, I don't mind Time won't heal everything Sometimes scars remain And with every scar Nothing stays the same Some try to plant a tree I choose to let Earth be
2.
I Never Ran 04:43
And with all the things you never thought to say You find the time to throw it all away I never saw one minute past this place What a waste to never start the race Waves washing over me Out of control, and never free Time cannot save you from your memories Old dreams won't let me sleep You would not let me be Out where only streetlights keep me company And I never ran away from thee So how could I think you'd chase me
3.
The Key 04:31
I gotta get away This place has got me spinning In my head I know You're where I need to go You set me free You let me see And when I can hardly breathe You are my key And in my mind Here I stop time break ties Put down the world And let my wings unfurl
4.
The Free Man 05:32
I am one who has never left his home I wait going where I do not know We leave awaiting the long distant shore Where we can rebuild the life we flee We must leave this place, our home Running to places unknown Away from the swiftness death The executioner's sword We sail for the day we can be at peace To a place where can grow old and see Our lives, rescued from tragedy For all this I want to, I must break free In the night packing flight, in the darkness so no one can see If we're discovered I must die for my family No choice, one hope to have as our own A place, away from this dark cold so Tonight we take flight We are forced to flee To save ourselves And finally be free
5.
Out of nowhere I find That it's hard to see the faint white light Usually there's never a thought in my mind But now I see the strife Out of nowhere, I know That there's little meaning in the fight But every time the clock rolls over something just feels right But I'm free, I'm free, to be I make, my own, destiny The light, may be, hard to see But no one, can hold me Out of nowhere I'll be In the middle of my own dilemma The ultimate of choices is mine I choose to stay every time Out of nowhere I see That light and dark accompany me And the climb is always hard but look how high we are
6.
Driving down a one way street Blind in the snow and sleet As I find where I want to be The black night swallows me Unsure where my car should be Hoping it's not white lights I see Who am I, who are we Am I who I thought I should be Who am I, who are we Am I who I thought I should be Or am I drowning in best intentions Fruitless labour feels so long My time is up and more I try As time barely seems to pass by This place this is the last I can't bear another crash Bones only take so many breaks Before they can't grow back
7.
All night, stirring in my head My life in charge of me instead This is not what I wanted But I can't turn back time I know it's time To forget this place Where my mind cannot Keep me sane On my own I walk away For my own sake I cannot take The burdens of my past Barefoot I take my leave So light, is the bag I pack Memories, take what space I have No hand falls on my shoulder No shadow bars the door
8.
Oh what a lonely road In this peace silent where I know I find myself and thoughts seem Like deep talks and fantasy From the south the breeze blows A little farther must I go Quiet circles make fog disappear And makes stained glass turn clear My path perturbed by something new My circle broke by a vast way to Nowhere seems certain but the, walk home lies south Newly embrace to break the chain This mystery shrouded in light and wonder Cain may walk in the path ahead For strange things I see and cold I feel Through all this time in my mind I find Without the strength to show Me out of this place and I know I should have been home long ago One with the chilling cold Fog hides my only road And the darkness blinds my tired eyes I feel as though I'm not alone Lost, in never ending emptiness Watching me through the trees Are entities I cannot see Blindly, I run through the forest No path for guidance no escape I feel it closing in Clawing through the thick black air Running for my life Out of breath but no stopping I hear footsteps behind Alas how can this be Free from the black In the light and the breeze This place looks familiar And with the stop of my heart The circle has closed
9.
Rain II 06:31
Oh, and the rain runs down my face To and endless empty ache As a life lowers to grave So I stand here in the shame Please forgive the mistakes I've made Oh, and today's the day Where the sky reflects my pain A lone life drifts away A person with no name Oh, now I see I chose the wrong path for me This is the darkest of my days Misread the map to my life's maze And now I've reached the end To say goodbye to my only friend My life never will I mend I'm alone Now, here I stand To see myself away And I've seen today Who I'd be if I had not died
10.
I remember you from down the street (Where did we meet, that time is so foggy) With smells of summer rain I feel (Feel long ago remnants of childhoods glow) No need, to see a face a name to read For me, you still live in memories Where did you go friend from '95? (I drifted away, walked into the light) I moved away couldn't reach you if I tried (Soon after I died, look up to the sky) With no magic left life begins (Mine ended too soon, life gives and takes on a whim) I wonder if we'd still be friends (What could always beats what is) No need, to see a face a name to read For me, you still live in memories Lonely, I walk under an empty sky Sorry, life is lost I don't know why I wake up at night Afraid of my own life And I can't make things right This one way road with the end in sight You and me, we were free Youth destroyed, all worry Two wasted lives, one lived one died We both missed out on so much, so much time
