All the Same

I can’t say that it was all the same
Now you can’t seem but to explain
How the lone survivor
Has been left to the fire
When all is said and done
Still waiting
Conscious truth
Don’t hesitate
Respect their words
Take them with you
When all you’re saying is to
Dig deep, don’t fight
Just believe it
When you feel you’re going under
Now you know you’ve got the place to go
Dig deep, don’t fight
Just believe it
When you feel like going under
Now you know, know, know, know
So fleeting
The feeling that you can’t deny
It’s not up to the man, decide
You can’t win big unless you try
When all is said and done
Still waiting
Conscious truth
Don’t hesitate
Respect their words
Take them with you
When all you’re saying is to
Dig deep, don’t fight
Just believe it
When you feel you’re going under
Now you know you’ve got that place to go
Dig deep, don’t fight
Just believe it
When you feel you’re going under
Now you know, know, know, know

Better Now

Even though I would like to take it slower
I cannot help but feel the ground beneath my feet
Keep tumbling down
Through it all again
So we know how this one ends
A memory with old friends
The sweetest things are left unspoken
Are really felt there in person
Yes takes some time to teach so go ahead and learn
for better now
To keep your head above cold water
Is everybody’s son and daughter
It’s all we have and are
So don’t lose your mind
So now it seems that all your days are alright
Then can we get away tonight
Well can get away tonight
Through it all again
Make a memory with new friends
So we know how this one ends
The sweetest things are left unspoken
Are really felt there in person
Yes takes some time to teach
so go ahead and learn for better now
To keep your head above cold water
Is everybody’s son and daughter
It’s all we have and are
So don’t lose your mind
Is it all better now?
Is it all better now?
Is it all better now?
Is it all better now?

The need to follow
Too much to swallow
The bitter taste still lingers on
Beg, steal and borrow
From souls in trouble
Taking risks to help move you on
Through stained glass
And tainted hearts, It’s on me
Whilst you’re hiding from the world outside
You can’t see how it seems to me
You can’t see how it seems to me
Every time we meet
It’s clear to see you’re trying
But trying cannot set you free
And when it’s lost on me
Diluted in the colour
The colour of the words you speak
You moved back from the path that was set before
When you know I would try to fix it all
Through stained glass
And tainted hearts, It’s on me
And whilst you’re hiding from the world outside
You can’t see how it seems to me
You can’t see how it seems to me
So I’m saying
Every time we meet
It’s clear to see you’re trying
But trying cannot set you free
And when it’s lost on me
Diluted in the colour
The colour of the words you speak
Every time we meet
It’s clear to see you’re trying
But trying cannot set you free
And when it’s lost on me
Diluted in the colour
The colour, the colour

Lost in You

We left together hoping someday
You read my mind and that’s ok
I felt bad, the walk was so long and cold
And no one could tell us no
There was no place else to go
The only rushing was light
We still wanted to take our while
Oh, doesn’t even matter what you say
So, go ahead and say it anyway
Cause when I’m lost in you
So long to waiting for the right time
You moved your hand right next to mine
I know I couldn’t think of what to say
And no one could tell us no
There was no place else to go
We left together hoping someday
Oh, doesn’t even matter what you say
So, go ahead and say it anyway
Cause when I’m lost in you
Oh, doesn’t even matter what you say
So, go ahead and say it anyway
Cause when I’m lost in you
Too good for me
I feel it when you’re not around
Now I can’t breathe
Can’t control it when I’m feeling down
Oh, doesn’t even matter what you say
So, go ahead and say it anyway
Cause when I’m lost in you
Oh, doesn’t even matter what you say
So, go ahead and say it anyway
Cause when I’m lost in you
