I've been on this road for quite some time,
Never found a place that I'll call mine,
Everybody needs a place to be,
Maybe they find it eventually.
But this place is not my home,
It's just another place to be alone,
And I wish that you were with me and by my side.
I've been on the road since 2008,
Thought I saw me in a better place,
Looking back I wanted different things,
But there ain't much time when pressure rings.
This place is not my home,
It's just another place to be alone,
And I wish you could give me somewhere to hide.
But this place is not my home,
It's just another place to be alone,
And I wish that you were with me and by my side.

Walls
04:04
|

Growing older,
The time grows always colder,
I can't go on living this way, I know.
I fight my feelings, always,
They leave me reeling and down on myself,
As I wait for the sky to fall.
CHORUS
But there ain't a doubt,
Baby, there is no way out,
I just can't scream and shout,
So you're breaking down the walls to save me,
And I can't let go,
I'm haunted by the past, I know,
So you're breaking down the walls to save me.
If I am guilty of one thing,
It always kills me that I did not do,
More to let you know.
Just what I'm thinking,
What I'm feeling,
As I deal with this pain I know.

Still Got the Weekend
04:02
|
|||
Took your time to tell me lies,
You watch the pain and sacrifice,
Money flows one way,
Tomorrow as today,
Seems too hard to see the light.
The broken walls of my own home,
Are nothing on the ones alone,
Who sit in rainy shelters,
Dying from commitment,
To this life that's ruled by you.
CHORUS
But we've still got the weekend,
We've still got a poison to help us,
Get through the day again,
But in you I can't trust, my friend
There's too much to ever find,
The real intention of your crimes,
Pay to avoid jail,
The rich one never fails,
When it's easy to shift the blame.
Working in your bare four walls,
Robotic motions for the cause,
Then atop the pile,
Sits an ego and smile,
Asking you for your belief
CHORUS

4. |

I've seen that look a thousand times,
You're looking to brighter skies,
You're hoping that I'll just disappear.
We found along the road,
We can't carry this heavy load,
That comes as we move away from here.
I couldn't see it coming,
Couldn't see the signs,
You were on the inside controlling my mind.
Lies became the truth,
Fear became the norm,
I'm not even sure what I'm fighting for.
CHORUS
Baby, I ain't got anything,
You can't find in someone else,
You're crazy, but of course you're perfect,
You just go on and keep telling yourself that.
Am I too tough on your mistakes?
Did I give you this heartache,
Instead of the loving that you crave?
Stop the bullshit, find the faith,
We once had for this place,
And realise that the days they run to the grave.
A scream of desperation,
A cry for help,
Is that what you call betraying me as well?
Lies became the truth,
Fear became the norm,
I'm not even sure what I'm fighting for.
CHORUS

Save Yourself
04:02
|
|||
Give yourself another chance,
As the sun breaks through the trees,
Spare your heart that old romance,
Drift away upon the breeze.
Go alone to find yourself,
Though the road you know is long,
Put your past back on the shelf,
Accept mistakes now as your own.
CHORUS
Save yourself, and you'll save me again,
Free to roam, still you'll stay my friend,
And when you find your home, just call me again.
And I'll see you again,
Oh, I'll see you again.
On the dark side of the world,
You found a call to life unknown,
Watered by your life so well,
Into a flower you have grown.
I recall your parting words:
"Don't wait up; you're still young."
I sat back as life unfurled,
I let you go and be the one.
CHORUS

Middle of Nowhere
04:16
|
|||
Babe, you walk a fine line,
Between what's wrong and what is right,
I guess you know how to play this game,
What does it matter anyhow?
The rules are yours all the same.
You lead me into the darkness,
Blind, battered and beat by your lies,
If I had this chance again,
Maybe I'd think twice.
CHORUS
Now I don't know where I'm going,
Even less what I'll find,
I'm in the middle of nowhere,
And I feel fine.
The call to go has been so strong,
Still I'm living here all on my own,
We fight enough sometimes to start a war,
There's the problem,
We don't know what we're fighting for.
You thought I wasn't thinking,
Hard enough for you to tell,
Between the lies and the soul sinking,
You don't know me too well.
CHORUS

Worn Down
04:41
|
|||
What a joy it is to be here,
Waking up in this morning light,
Didn't think I would make it,
After our long lasting fight.
Where you win some days,
You force me to choose,
Between the troubles of life that I know are easy to lose.
CHORUS
I'm worn down to the bone,
I'm scared and tired,
And afraid of being alone.
There's no help for my delusions,
Just these pills to numb my brain,
But even if there were solutions,
I'd reject them all the same.
I was standing on the bridge,
Choking on booze,
Overdosed on life and the ease if I lose.
CHORUS
You saved my soul when I met you,
From the fate of a broken heart,
Though I've tried so hard to lose you,
You are forever in my heart.
Still keeping me sane,
You keep away the blues,
And the troubles of life which I know are easy to lose.
CHORUS

Glad You've Gone
03:26
|
|||
Running round rainy roads,
Searching for the world you spoke.
Where we could work it out,
Where we could turn around.
What hurt us in our past?
What memory did you have last?
Before you slipped away,
Did it hurt you as you left this place?
CHORUS
Time waits for no one,
There's a world beyond,
Between right and wrong,
We all suffer, one by one,
Now I'm glad you've gone,
Now I'm glad you've gone away.
You didn't know what to do,
So you ended up in the hand of a few,
Who tried so hard to find,
A solution for your life.
You can't see me now,
I know that you're not looking down,
But I'm looking up to you,
Your thought is all that pulls me through.
CHORUS

Hook Green
03:07
|
|||
Running through the fields by our old house
Not a thing there to worry about
Except our parents and what
They wanted to do
Time was hard for me and you
Whether sun or rain the fields stayed clear
In my memories and my fears
Didn't dislike the lives
We had to make
But I lost it all after heartache
CHORUS
Oh those days
Could last a lifetime
In so many ways
We'd had our lifeline
When the lawyers came
There was no going back
To the south of England
To that feeling
Times of wonder littered my youth
On the Sussex border life was so true
Now the best have passed
Loved ones gone
Along with the times I'm writing for
Life escapes you when you least expect it
Wake up one day and regret it
The pain hits hard
You fall so deep
In a journey to the eventual sleep.

They leave me reeling and down on myself,

So you're breaking down the walls to save me,
And I can't let go,

So you're breaking down the walls to save me.
If I am guilty of one thing,
It always kills me that I did not do,
More to let you know.
Just what I'm thinking,
What I'm feeling,
As I deal with this pain I know.
