I’m lost for words, I'm sorry I wish I knew what to say But I'm lost for words I'm sorry, I wish I knew How to take away the pain But I'm lost for words I’m lost for words, I'm sorry I wish I knew what to say But I'm lost for words I'm sorry, I wish I knew How to take away the pain But I'm lost for words I’m lost for words, I'm sorry I wish I knew what to say But I'm lost for words

Alone 07:26
Here in my creative space As gold and diamonds turn to waste I think I need to see your face To free my mind again Keep me warm as I scrape this pen Help me shake off this hesitance I'm struggling to find the strength Since we lost our friend I've been afraid to open up Admit to myself how it’s messed me up It's bound and tied this open book The words no longer flow So take my hand, be my guide I don’t know why I chose to hide I can’t even begin to try To find the answers alone I can’t stand to be alone tonight To be alone tonight To be alone tonight I need to hold you tight My heart can’t stand to be alone tonight To be alone tonight To be alone

There's a small and misty dark room In the corner of my mind Sometimes this is where my rationality will hide From the demons that I’ve always feared to fight There's a hard and heavy weight That hovers just above my chest Sometimes it will clamp its self down tighter than my vest Whenever darkness puts me to the test But fear is nothing but a bump in the road You either let it stop you or you Plough right through and learn to let it go Once you face then you’ll wonder why you feared it all along There's an ever-knowing wise man Still learning from his books Sometimes he will raise his eyes, to give a certain look When he disapproves of certain roads I've took But mistakes are nothing but a bump in the road You either let them stop you or you Plough right through and learn to let them go Once you’ve learned from them, you’ll wonder why you made them all along Cause you can do anything you put your mind to As long as you believe it then it’s true And there are no dreams that are impossible to reach Once you’ve opened up your heart and let them in There's a little childlike quiver That’s been hiding in my throat Sometimes it will ponce just as I'm reaching for that note That one that I can never seem to hold But limits are nothing but a bump in the road You either let them stop you or you Or you plough right through and learn to let them go Once you break them down, you’ll wonder why you set them all along Remember you are strong

Blank Page 05:26
I’ve got a blank page I can’t seem to fill it I've got a blank page I can’t seem to fill it I've got a blank page I can’t seem to fill it No, I can’t seem to fill it

Could I be wasting my time Trying to focus on the things that don’t really matter Could I be losing my mind Tryna make sense of it all Well I just wanna be That person inside of me The one that used to beam The one that used to dream Could I be out of this game Tryna hold on to something that’s already gone Could I be out of my tree Tryna make sense of it all Well I just wanna be That person inside of me The one that used to beam The one that used to dream Yeah, I just wanna be That person inside of me The one that used to beam The one that used to dream Well, I can honestly tell you I feel like a loser And I can honestly say I know nothing at all It may be time for me to throw in the towel and hang my boots up But what the hell do I know? Nothing at all Could I be stuck in a rut Playing reruns of a movie that I'm sick of seeing I could be shooting the breeze Tryna make sense of it all Well I just wanna be That person inside of me The one that used to beam The one that used to dream Yeah, I just wanna be That person inside of me The one that used to beam The one that used to dream

Wings 03:40
Join me in the comfort of this candle light That flickers like the stars The stars Trust in what you’re feeling and I'll Take away those everlasting scars Those scars Hold my hand a little tighter tonight My heart has never ventured out this far This far I never knew that I had wings Before I met you You bring this bird to life And you let him fly Let's stay above the clouds a while Forget the world below Below We'll let the wind force the tears from our eyes as we Set our site upon magic worlds unknown Unknown I never knew that I had wings Before I met you You bring this bird to life And you let him fly I never believed I could really sing Until I met you You bring this bird to life And the sky is ours tonight So we'll let the wind force the tears from our eyes And set our site upon magic worlds unknown Unknown I never knew that I had wings Before I met you You bring this bird to life And you let him fly I never believed I could really sing Until I met you You bring this bird to life And the sky is ours tonight

Our Time 03:58
Another decade gone I have to admit, it’s been my favourite one We've had ups and downs We’ve been thrown around in a cyclone as we’ve grown And we’ve chased our tails Searching for the next junction in the road But it’s all felt like it’s been part of a plan For what’s about to unfold This is our time, this is our time This is our time, this is our time right now This is our time, this is our time This is our time, this is our time right now You see we’ve knuckled down We've grafted our fingers to the bone We've put in the time, mastered the patients Now let's go This is our time, this is our time This is our time, this is our time right now This is our time, this is our time This is our time, this is our time right now This is our time, this is our time This is our time, this is our time right now This is our time, this is our time This is our time, this is our time right now And it feels so right Like it was written in the stars for us To grit our teeth and bide our time And I feel so alive Like I’ve got magic in my soul tonight So buckle up and hold on tight This is our time, this is our time This is our time, this is our time right now This is our time, this is our time This is our time, this is our time right now This is our time, this is our time This is our time, this is our time right now This is our time, this is our time This is our time, this is our time right now This is our time, this is our time This is our time, this is our time right now This is our time, this is our time This is our time, this is our time right now This is our time, this is our time This is our time, this is our time right now This is our time, this is our time This is our time, this is our time right now

I've got desperate thoughts clouding my focus Like some unwitted victim of some hocus pocus Trying to lift of this curse any desperate way that he can And I plead with them to free me, cause I'm so sick of being Curled up in this corner while the others are seeing Their aspirations and dreams blooming into life And then clarity calls and has a word in my ear I should be so grateful, I'm still physically here And my focus turns to the ones that were taken to soon You see, it’s easy to grumble It's easy to moan It's easy to kid yourself The universe owes you something But the truth is It doesn’t owe you anything at all It's hard to satisfied Grateful, content It's hard to accept that maybe This was all meant to be That’s just our natural way to be In the 21st century We're all born of greed In the 21st century We're all born of greed In the 21st century We're all born of greed In the 21st century We're all born of greed In the 21st century You see, it’s easy to grumble It's easy to moan It's easy to kid yourself The universe owes you something But the truth is It doesn’t owe you anything at all It's hard to satisfied Grateful, content It's hard to accept that maybe This was all meant to be That’s just our natural way to be In the 21st century

When I was small I'd stare at the wall Where patterns of lights drew holes Deep enough to fall into And I Got so afraid to look away With fear that I'd never see them again I lost that ability when I was eight I still look for them today When I was young I knew how to have fun A random stick was a gun Real enough to make me run And I Got so immersed, I'd flea and hide Fear of capture and losing a life Those illusions faded by the age of nine Oh, such a simpler mind When I was a teen I'd dare to dream If I told you some things I've seen Well, they’d make you scream your heart out And I Felt so tormented I had to escape I'd do anything to stay out of my brain I kicked those habits a little too late Well, let's put that down to fate These days I feel old And when I stare at the wall There's patterns of nothing but mould Black enough to take a hold And I Get so afraid of everything Places I'm going, places I've been But if I could go back to way back when I'd do it all the same again

Written 04:43
All my sneers, all my cheers All my conquests, all my fears All my losses, all my wins All my good deeds, all my sins My hellos, my see ya laters All my lovers, all my haters All my new friends, all my roots All the dead leaves, all the shoots All the rich, all the poor All the good times, all the war All the lost, all the found All above, or underground All the weak, all the strong All the right, all the wrong Are we right where we belong? Was this written all along?
