LEFT & RIGHT

LEAVE IT BEHIND

It's a complex thing up there
For everyone
It only knows if you're alive

​

It always needs to take some time
To rewind
Mine always seems too borderline
Never fine

​

Scream if you're the same as me
And if you want to be set free
Leave the safety of the shore 
And cross that sea
Leave it behind

​

Sometimes people say it's fine
But they lie
Or say it's just in their bloodline
Not by design

​

For me, it's just a special case
But here's the catch
This song would not be written down

​

Scream if you see yourself in me
And if your life is "what could be"
Sit in a chair and grab a cup
Of nice warm tea
Leave it behind

​

If you can relate with me
One step closer for you to see
The mind that works behind the scenes
It's only what we know to be

​

Scream if you're the same as me
And if your life is "what could be"
Leave the safety of the shore 
And cross that sea
Leave it behind

SAVING GRACE

Looking out of the window at the rain
I have stuff to do but it all just hurts my brain
Ideas float like money in a lake
Almost like the things that are mistakes

​

There is so much that I want to say
But it all just falls on deaf ears anyway
Never knowing what you had to say
Kind of keeps me going throughout the day

​

You made sure that my voice could not be heard
And made me have to silence all my thoughts
The only saving grace from all of this
Is that I grow and change

​

Soon I knew that you're a waste
Taking up the space that I used to embrace
Now I'm free to move on how I like
Not being tied down like I'm on a spike

​

You made me have to ruin all our trust
Just to fit to how you want your life
At least I was astute to realise
That you don't grow and change

​

You made sure that my voice could not be heard
And made me have to silence all my thoughts
The only saving grace from all of this
Is that I grow and change for good

​

You made me have to ruin all our trust
Just to fit to how you want your life
At least I was astute to realise
That you don't grow and change

​

You made sure that my voice could not be heard
And made me have to silence all my thoughts
The only saving grace from all of this
Is that I grow and change

ERASED

First lines are hard
With something like this
When you're not in the know

​

I'm not gonna lie
The words just aren't there
To describe how I feel

​

All the time that we wasted
Was it good for you?
Cos there are parts I regret
And parts that I miss
And times we should have spent

Moving on with our lives
Instead of holding to the past
The hours that we had 
Are not coming back
It's been erased

​

I guess the words came to me
That's a rare sight to see
I fumble around with all of my thoughts
Not being concise

​

Music eases the words 
The ones I cannot write
Down in a message to try and find a way
To keep us in touch

​

All the time that we wasted
Was it good for you?
Cos there are parts I regret
And parts that I miss
And times we should have spent

Moving on with our lives
Instead of holding to the past
The hours that we had 
Are not coming back
It's been erased

​

All the time that we wasted
Was it good for you?
Cos there are parts I regret
And parts that I miss
And times we should have spent

Moving on with our lives
Instead of holding to the past
The hours that we had 
Are not coming back
It's been erased

BEFORE THE DEPARTURE

It used to be so simple
It used to be so simple and now I know why
Cos ever since I told the truth
All that happened was you parted ways and left me behind

​

But I'm still trying to make the best of a bad situation

​

I told you my feelings
And you couldn't take it
Now we don't talk
And I only want to rewind
Back to the days
When you weren't aware
Before the departure
And when you didn't know me

​

Sometimes I think about what we had
We would laugh and smile along with all the friends of ours
But soon you turned your back on me
But in the end, I know that this will pass and nothing will change

​

But I'm still trying to make the best of a bad situation you put me in
But I'm still trying to move on, just like you want to

​

I told you my feelings
And you couldn't take it
Now we don't talk
And I only want to rewind
Back to the days
When you weren't aware
Before the departure
And when you didn't know me

​

Now we're apart, we're moving on
Now that they're gone, we don't need a shoulder to cry on
Now we're apart, we never belong
Now that they're gone, we never needed

​

I told you my feelings
And you couldn't take it
Now we don't talk
And I only want to rewind
Back to the days
When you weren't aware
Before the departure
And when you didn't know me

​

I told you my feelings
And you couldn't take it
Now we don't talk
And I only want to rewind
Back to the days
When you weren't aware
Before the departure
And when you didn't know me

WE'RE ALL TWO

Allow yourself to float slowly
Above the speech and the sound
You might find someone deep inside
That you've not heard for a while
       
Allow some time to find your inner voice
Often it helps to know they're with you
It might help in some life-changing decisions
Having two minds instead of one

​

We come together for each other
Sharing parts that make us a whole being
Left and right often fight
But every time we try to make it whole again

​

Allow a place to let your thoughts go wild
Free from the limits of our world
You might find that you write
Beautiful tomes everlasting in your mind

​

But you'll never know it
Until you've found it
Buried deep in your heart

​

We come together for each other
Sharing parts that make us a whole being
Left and right often fight
But every time we try to make it whole again

​

We come together for each other
Sharing parts that make us a whole being
Left and right often fight
But every time we try to make it whole again

​

But you'll never know it
Until you've found it
Buried deep in your heart

BED SONG

Sunday 26th of September
Feeling like I'm dead
People say it's only in my head

​

Even though I'm healthy and alive
Something seems to hold me back
Every day and every night
Nothing seems to ease the pain

​

I'm lost in a mind without an end
Fixed in a bed without any chains
I'm locked in a room without a key
I'm trapped without escape

​

I know that they are out there
Having fun without me, even though it's all my fault
I'm all to blame 
They don't even listen to what I have to say

​

I'm lost in a mind without an end
Fixed in a bed without any chains
I'm locked in a room without a key
I'm trapped without escape

​

But maybe I'm wrong to think there's a way out
Even though it seems so hard

​

I need to move on
Change my life somehow
Learn from my mistakes and become a better person

Leaving this cage will be tough
But nothing is stopping me now
I'm waking up for the first time in my life

​

I'm found in a mind without any end
Freed from a bed without any chains
I'm leaving a room without a key
But I'm still lost without the ones that care for me

HIGHER GRADE

Never knowing the pain they cause
Only thinking of themselves, for sure     Being completely unaware
All the times not being there
Always just making me feel down

​

They are in a higher grade
There isn't a single thing that I can say
They just want to remain
Oblivious and dubious
Only wanting to stay
Like everything is okay

​

Even though it happens all the time
It never seems like we come out fine
All the effort that I use
"We're still friends" is overused
You always need to have the last laugh now

​

They are in a higher grade
There isn't a single thing that I can say
They just want to remain
Oblivious and dubious    
Only wanting to stay

​

But I know
That you'll never want to change
You don't know 
That this is the same exchange

Every time that this comes awry
But it just passes you by
I hope that you will see
I'm trying to just be me

​

They are in a higher grade
There isn't a single thing that I can say
They just want to remain        
Oblivious and dubious
Only wanting to stay
Like everything is okay
Like everything is the same
Like everything is

KEEPING THE STATUS QUO

Sat alone he thinks about life
Pain for him is taking the knife
Hiding his face and all his tears
Always made fun of by his peers

​

This might be all they've ever known
Constantly told to stop and "no"
But what if this cowl is just for show?
A person moving on but keeping the status quo

​

Often silent in a crowd
But he's a one who sticks around
Just to see what others do
One day he knows that he'll break through

​

This might be all they've ever known
Constantly told to stop and "no"
But what if this cowl is just for show?
A person moving on but keeping the status quo

​

This might be all you've ever known
Constantly told to stop and "no"?
But what if your cowl is just for show?
A person moving on but keeping your status quo

PRODIGAL SON

I've never found it easy coming to you
Only in times of desperation
But every day you seem to draw me in
Deeper than I've been before

​

I hope one day I'll see you eye to eye
When it's not on my own terms
It will take a while to get to that point
Let's just enjoy it while we can

​

I don't know why I hide my past
Thinking that you weren't there
I've left the home you built for me
But the prodigal son's returned
The prodigal son's returned

​

You've let me see the brand new days
Lead me through our storms
No Lens Of Truth no map or a guide
Just the trust I've built with you

​

I don't know why I hide my past
Thinking that you weren't there
I've left the home you built for me
But the prodigal son's returned
The prodigal son's returned

​

Yes the prodigal son's returned
The prodigal son's returned
