Into Your Heart
I know I’m not dreaming
Its a long time coming
She puts the bags down in the hall
I’m standing there searching
Trying to reach you
It seems the time for talk is gone
When you look in her eyes
You see it fading
We lost our spark
The light gone
I’ve been searching everywhere
But its not here anymore
Burn all the papers here
All the records of these years
Find the secrets we could never learn
Don’t show me those tears
All our hopes and all those fears
Can you show me
The way back to the start
Into your heart
Life like flood water
Rising around us
Theres too many bills to pay
The colours draining
We’re left with the mundane
TV droning to the show
When we speak these days
I know theres something
Left unsaid
We fight on
I try to picture life without you
When you’re gone
In my mind I’m tracing
All these lines now, see your face now
You’re threaded through me
I won’t let go

Against My Will

Against My Will
I’ve got to do what’s right
Whatever gets you through those days and longer nights
I sit and question this path
Maybe theres nothing to understand
The darkness comes and it goes
Sometimes my friend sometimes my foe
Those faces loom through the rain
Reset the channel again
The cup lifts
To my lips again
Tasteless
I’m feeling the pull
Coming down so easy
Falling on my knees
Still fighting
Against my will
I’m keeping it together
I’m gonna make it better
One day
Against my will
Days they merge into one
From the cruel dawn to that setting sun
The blade drags across my face
Numb to the pain
Memories question me
Your love reminds me
What I am doing here
You lift me up
Chorus
Coming down so easy
Falling on my knees
Still fighting
Against my will
I’m keeping it together
I’m gonna make it better
One day
Against my will
Finding your strength now
You’re gonna get there
Clawing your way to the light
You make it all worthwhile

Stranded

Stranded
Once lost in a dream
Places you thought you would be
The garden so bright, not afraid
Out of that bed left unmade
Her words mended your heart
Broken pieces, falling apart
A cynic dies, jigsaw complete
Give yourself up to that sea
Now its all been washed away
Trying to find the sun again
Reaching out, reaching out for the past
The corridors of history
Where you lost the golden keys
They’re gone, all gone
They’re long, long gone
You are stranded
Never planned this
Now you’re alone
Cold wind blowing
Across the ocean
So far from home
Your heart rises when it’s found
Then you fall on the cold ground
All alone, empty handed
You are stranded
Heart shaped locks, lie strewn across the land
The keys rust with the turn of your hand
Retracing the steps through your life
The memories you thought could bring light
Those days are gone, no way out
What you remember now in doubt
Just time, time
All lost in time
Chorus
Back in time, you were mine
But you slipped through my fingers
I was always last in line
The ghosts they walk
These torn paths of thought
Then they go to the light

Satellites

SATELLITES
Give me one more chance
Give me one more chance for you
You know I’ll pay you back someday
All through my life
Well you know I tried for you
I know the story stayed the same
It takes some time to grab your moment
This old road is rough and long
Just a little faith will keep us going strong
Stand up and shine like satellites
Anything can happen let’s do it tonight
Living like today was your last sunrise
Promises we make
Lost along the way sometimes
Through the fear of losing face
What you see in my eyes
Nowhere for you to hide
The truth is, I did it all for you
It takes some time to swim an ocean
Through the storms coming your way
Try to stay afloat
You’ll get there someday
Stand up and shine like satellites
Anything can happen let’s do it tonight
Living like today was your last sunrise
You’ve got to
Stand up and move on down the line
This train won’t wait so be there on time
Passing like shadows, in the glare of the sunshine
Don’t you lose hope, you’ve got to chase it
Don’t you feel down, we can still make it
We’ve been through bigger things than this before
Stay on the ride, until it’s over
Hold on to me, we’re getting closer
We’ll never ever get this chance again
Stand up and shine like satellites
Anything can happen, let’s do it tonight
Living like today was your last sunrise
You and I we catch the light
Sparkling above the sky
Shining down like satellites

Lost Among The Waves

Lost Among The Waves
Turn the lights down
Shining so bright
Sounds so loud
Drowning you out
Time to come home
To a place where peace is found
Days in the red
Days in the black
Going off road
Staying on track
Lost in a place, trying find your way back
Watching the time
Hopes and your fears
All the beauty disappears
Lost and alone
You’ll come back one day
Those dark waters will be clear someday
Those cracks are spreading out
You are full of doubt
Things will ever change
Its hard to get through, lost among the waves
Lost in the noise
Dragged in the swell
Giving too much
Nothing left to sell
Swept in a storm
Gaping holes in all your sails
Its hard to recall
Theres others here
Swimming alone
With all their fears
Sometime soon
The sun will rise again
So many here
Far from the shore
They fold their arms around you
Almost the time
For you to rise
Gonna let this pass you by
You gotta hold on
Hold on
It won’t be long now…
Lost and alone
You’ll come back one day
Those dark waters will be clear someday
Those cracks are spreading out
You are full of doubt
Things will ever change
Its hard to get through, its hard to get through
lost among the waves
