After All

You’ll be okay when everything fades

You’ll rise above all the noise

From the 90s in pain

You’ll be alright

When the moment is ripe

You’ll slip away from the confines

When no one is in line

So just take it slow

There’s an end to the show

And when the time comes to go

You’ll be happy to know

That there’s a light within your heart

Guiding feelings through the dark

And there’s a reason for that beacon burning bright

And After all has faded by

You will surely find the why

Of all the moments that flew by

In your lifetime

Just take control

Listen to that old soul

Grow when the creatures of habit

Have nowhere to go

Time to live your life

And finally unwind

Then all those pieces that puzzled

Will be finally aligned

Cause there’s a light within your heart

Giving meaning to the dark

And there’s a reason for that beacon burning bright

And After all has faded by

You will surely find the why

Of the moments that flew by in your lifetime

Focus on in

Jump to the wind

Talk to the wise

And open your eyes

Make your own mark

There still time to start

All those things

That you wanted to with your art

Lookin within

At all of those battles you thought you could win

It’s time to begin

In your own time

You’ll be okay when everything fades

You’ll rise above all the noise

From the 90s in pain

You’ll be alright

When the moment is ripe

You’ll slip away from the confines

When the truth is a lie

Cause there’s a light within your heart

Giving meaning to the dark

And there’s a reason for that beacon burning bright

And after all’s been said and done

And your circus time has run

Take your peanuts and you’ve won

Cause after all has faded by

You will surely find the why

Of the moments that flew by in your lifetime

When Love Begins to End and Fade

Two by two they walked the street

Hand in hand and feet to feet

Hearts alone

Together still

Playing the part

They're all accustomed to

He could avoid the talk

She could just up and walk away

He could avoid the speech

She could just go repeat the words 

He knows she'll say 

When love begins to end and fade away

Two by two they walked the sand

Newly found with ring and hand

Playing games and having fun

Set to start the world and run away

He could avoid the talk

She could just up and walk away

He could avoid the speech

She could just go repeat the words 

She wants to say 

when love begins to end and fade away

Don’t Run Away

Don't run away

You've come so far

From the mountains to the farm

From the clouds with open arms

Don't turn your back

We're counting on

All the wisdom you bestow

And history you told

Us from the start

With the Idols that you made

Struggles from the heart

And the children that were saved

Lessons that you teach

In the cities that you built

Gods you tried to reach

In the temples on the hills

 

Don't you give up

It's much too soon

For the people that you move

With the light of the sun and moon

Stand up and fight

And guard your will 

Though the armies try to ride

Through the ages you will 

Fight them from the start

With the Idols that you made

Struggles from the heart

And the children that were saved

Lessons that you teach

In the cities that you built

Gods you tried to reach

In the temples on the hills

Two Fools

Steel moon rising over the cool desert sky

Dark roads leading us on to a magical flight

Sun never had a chance in hell to show us the light

Two fools in the night

We dropped as the grapevine ahead began to rise

Our 4 banger never skipped a beat as she carried us high

Stars rained as the thick of fog began to warp our minds

Two fools in the night

Bending pavement

Racing under us

Random patterns

Spinning views

Rushing light beams

Crushing through

On a journey

Chasing tail

Never thinking

We could fail

Who knew

Time's hands tied tight as the frame began to melt

Ours minds began to fuse and the wheel steered itself

Hail pounded at the frozen shield that kept the wind out tight

Two fools in the night

Show Me More

I’ve got a lot to try

But I’m tired all the time

Impatient feelings got me losing my mind

Won’t someone take me from this grind

The pixel perfect pictures posted on the timeline of life

They’re trying to tell us with their talking tales to all get in line

But I’ll keep watching waiting wishing while the life slipping by 

All the time 

But show me more 

My life’s slipping by

But Show me more 

I feel I’m missing out 

When will I  join the crowd

Impatient feelings got me thinking out loud 

Won’t someone save me from this drought

The pixel perfect pictures posted on the timeline of life

They’re trying to tell us with their talking tales to all get in line

But I’ll keep watching waiting wishing while the life slipping by 

Sll the time 

But Show me more 

My life’s slipping by

But Show me more 

Time keeps scrolling by

On and on and in it flies

My life’s slipping by

But Show me more 

And all my friend keep saying I’m doing fine

Won’t someone take me from this grind

Wise Up

I thought I heard you say one day that your world would end

But I guess you were wrong , cause we are both still here

I thought I heard you say that people think and pray all day

Well I guess you were right,cause right now I'm thinking of you

Wise up, open the real love you’re looking for

No rhyme to disguise feel love you have ignored

It takes time to rewind all the memories you store

While your falling in love 

I thought I heard you say one day that we’d have plenty of time

But I guess you were wrong because time’s run out

I thought I heard you say one day that we lose our minds

Well I guess you are right because right now I'm crazy for you

Wise up, open the real love you’re looking for

No rhyme to disguise feel love you have ignored

It takes time to rewind all the memories you store

While your falling in love

Heaven

Heaven came to me

Like a softly striking beam

She laid down just to see

What would happen

And the walls began to sweat

As my hands felt every breath

And the world stop spinning

When the lights went down

What’s your game

Are you thinking the same thing as me

Or am I just another test

For the rest of the world

To take their guess

If heaven’s best

Why she’d make a fool of me

So we walked into the sun

Where the canvases begun

And the music and rum

Spilling over

And the grinding in my head

Made it hard to think instead

As the world stopped spinning

When the lights went down

Lost In It

I thought of you 

When the sails fell silent

I thought of you

When i started to drift

What could I do

When the wind stopped blowing

What could I do

When I got lost in it

Have I been misleading

Have I shown my fear

Could I be forgiven

Are we in the clear

I thought of you

When the light stop shining

I thought of you

When the night fell down

What could I do

When the sun stopped warming

When the dark was found

Have I been misleading

Have I shown my fear

Could I be forgiven

Are we in the clear

You’re the Only

Love wasn’t holding

And the feeling I had wasn’t growing

Time had a hole in it

And the reeling I felt 

Wasn’t slowing

But the moment that I gave in

Let the healing start

Like the moon that takes another spin

And the cards that I thought were dealt

From a foolish deck

That were cut from just another spell and

Hey, you’re the only

You’re one thing that ever kept me going

Wait you’re the only

You’re the only one that ever had me flowing

In an age that can be so cruel

We’ve got something to face

We’ve something we could never lose

And if our hearts can make it through

I’ve got a feeling that 

There’s a chance for only me and you 

Hey, you’re the only

You’re one thing that ever kept me going

wait you’re the only

You were the only one that ever had me flowing 

Hey, you were the only

You were the only thing that ever  kept me going and growing

And though the years have passed us by

There’s always another chance to give ourselves another try

And if it seems that we’re moving too fast

We can slow it all down to make each and every moment last

And when our hearts finally make it through

I’ve got a feeling that 

There’s a chance for only me and you 

Hey, you’re the only

You’re one thing that ever kept me going

Wait you’re the only

You were the only one that ever had me flowing now

Hey, you’re the only

You were the only thing that ever kept me going

Wait you were the only

You were the only one that ever had me flowing and growing 

Love started holding

And the feeling I had kept on growing 

Somethings Got To Break

Too late too little too gone to big in the middle 

But it's okay

Too much too soon too far away from the gold

But you'll get there anyway

Me I might remind you if you stay on the road

Take one step at a time

Cause you will surely grow old

But you're too drunk too stoned too high too wasted to

Understand this

Temptation gets in the way

But avoid this

Fool-hearted souls will try to stray you

But you know this

Clear-minded moves that you make

Will one day get you your piece of the cake

I know you know what it takes

Somethings got to break

Too big too tall too fat too skinny too small

But it's okay

Too quick too slow too lazy to fit in the mold

But you'll get there anyway

Fortunate One

My fortune was easily won

I guess I'm the fortunate one

My treasure was laid out in time

A gift I would soon get to find 

I'm the fortunate one

Your treasure was easily lost

A rare opportunity cost

The future was destined to be

I'm the lord I'm the king 

I'm the fortunate one

But all that I wanted to be

Was someone whose easily seen 

Don't throw me to live with the gun

And the crown I have won

I'm the fortunate one

Our kingdom has fallen to dust

The people dont know who to trust

And after it's all said and done

I will walk in the sun

I'm the fortunate one

And all that I wanted to be

Was someone whose easily seen  

Don't throw me to live with the gun

And the crown I have won

I'm the fortunate one

Cause all that I wanted to be

Was someone whose easy and free

And now look at all we've done

At odds with this world we begun

So don't leave me alone  with the gun

And the crown that I have on

I'm the fortunate one

I'm tired from the wars we have won

But I'm ready to start a new one

When everything's all said and done 

I will walk in the sun

I'm the fortunate one

Day by day

Living was easier when we were young

No need to worry about what’s to come

Time seemed to linger on and on

Living was easier when we were young

My grandpa used to tell me, live happy and in health

Respect one another and treat each other well

And I can remember as he lie there in his bed

Him smiling at my mother as she held his fragile hand

Will you still love me

When I’m old and gray

Will you still hold me

Should I fade away

Will you forgive me

For all the stupid things I say

Cause we’re getting older

Day by day

Now I’m some much older, still lost in this world

Got myself a good job and a beautiful girl

But sometimes I wonder did I play my cards right

And dwell upon the future most every night

Will you still love me

When I’m old and gray

Will you still hold me

Should I fade away

Will you forgive me

For all the crazy shit I say

Cause we’re getting older

Day by day
