VERSE 1
I've been on the 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.
CHORUS 1
But this place is not my home,
It's just another place I'm alone,
'Cos my home is when you're with me and by my side.
VERSE 2
I've been on the road since around '08,
Thought I saw me in a better place,
Turns out I wanted different things,
But there ain't much time when pressure rings.
CHORUS 2
This place is not my home,
It's just another place I'm alone,
And I wish that you could give me someplace to hide.
INSTRUMENTAL

Walls

VERSE 1
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 skies to fall.
CHORUS
There ain't a doubt,
Baby there is no way out,
And 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,
I'm wondering how I can go on,
Till you break down the walls to save me.
VERSE 2
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 live with this pain I know.

VERSE 1
Tonight the sky is falling,
I sit alone in this dark town,
You gave me no early warning,
That my world would come crashing down.
VERSE 2
All of the fires, they burn,
The smoke carries our memories,
You'd think that by I would have learned,
All good things aren't what they seem.
CHORUS
When you say you love her she goes,
La la la, la la la, la la la,
When you tell her you want her, she knows.
She'll lead you on,
She wants you for pleasure and to pass the time,
When you say you love her, she goes,
La la la, la la la.
VERSE 3
She has a way about her,
Where you never know quite where you stand,
You'll get caught in her rapture,
But it's a capture you'll want to have.
VERSE 4
For all the times it hurts deep inside,
Happiness it comes and goes,
Until you find yourself alone while she hides,
In a retreat that no one knows.

I Failed
04:23

VERSE 1
Watching you dance away,
I know I failed you,
And I tried so hard to change,
Still we can't pull through
VERSE 2
You say that it doesn't matter anymore,
You say I'm not replaced,
But I can see it when you look to the past,
I'm just gonna' be erased.
PRE-CHORUS
Bring into the present,
The past times now gone,
And you can't have the future,
You'll never move along,
To where you think you're going,
Where you want to be,
Like a door locked from the inside,
We keep us from being free.
CHORUS
I failed, I know,
No points for my persistence,
Nothing here to show.
I failed, I know,
Turn away completely,
Walk away and go.
VERSE 3
It's just been so damn hard,
Same fucking talk every night,
Of how you broke my heart,
And how I can't make you enjoy the ride.

Calling Out To You
03:51

VERSE 1
Gave me life and loneliness,
Together masked as one,
It's always better to be somewhere you don't want to,
Than to be nowhere at all.
PRE-CHORUS
Control is what you need,
For your things tainted by greed,
CHORUS
And there's nothing I can do,
So I'm calling out to you.
INSTRUMENTAL
VERSE 2
We break our backs to keep you pleased,
So you don't notice where you are,
High upon your mountain of importance,
The fall down is very far.
PRE-CHORUS 2
You'll be slain by your own sword,
If the pain comes to be true.
CHORUS
I'm just trying to help,
So I'm calling out to you.

Whatever Way
04:07
|

VERSE 1
I left home some months ago,
I couldn't stay in a place I hate,
Couldn't live a lie, could not ask why,
We're all enemies of the state.
Do as they say, you're fucked anyway,
You've got no right to fight,
The poor just hurt living on rich dirt,
Trying to get it right.
VERSE 2
It's a full-time job to find a job to find a job,
Then it's harder work to keep,
From despair, from life out there,
Suffocating you to sleep.
On the street there stands another homeless man,
Who isn't giving up the fight,
To show those in control, those in the know,
What they're doing just ain't right.
CHORUS (x2)
Hey now, listen to the drumming,
Hey now, our time is coming,
Hey now, we've got to keep running,
Whatever way tonight.
VERSE 3
I look back at my home and the town is gone,
There's hopelessness in the air,
You can feel the rage in the lies that were made,
So stop pretending you care.
It ain't just the poor but so many more,
Made to sit out once again,
Migrants, women, those without white skin,
To the Right are not citizens.
CHORUS (x2)
VERSE 4
The fight with knives, it costs our lives,
And hurts a community,
There's a light at the end of the tunnel if we let them know,
They're not part of our city,
Don't take up arms, you'll be disarmed,
Fight with words instead,
To find the truth through lies, to despise,
This role we did not elect.
CHORUS (x2)
