Further From You (2024)

Lord let me walk again

After my latest fall, this I pray

But if I'm good to go, I think we both know

That I'll just keep walking away

And the higher I rise, the further I fall

When I think I am wise, I'm a fool after all

And when I can make my own way

I grow further from you everyday

Lord let me breathe again

As I choke on my words this I pray

But with breath in my lungs, the words on my tongue

Are never the words I should say

And the higher I rise, the further I fall

When I think I am wise, I'm a fool after all

And when I can make my own way

I grow further from you everyday

Lord make me weak once again

As I swallow my pride this I pray

For it's when I am weak your strength is complete

And I won't keep going astray

And the higher I rise, the further I fall

When I think I am wise, I'm a fool after all

And when I can make my own way

I grow further from you everyday

Hello? (2022)

Hello? Hello? Is there anybody

Else inside the house am I alone?

Alone... Alone

Who’s there? Who’s there? Thought I heard a whisper

Calling me away I don’t know where

Oh where? Oh where?

Help me! Help me! My last candlelight has

Given way to night and I can’t see

Can’t see... Can’t see

Hello? Hello? Is there anyone that’s

Left inside the house I’ve got to know

To know… to know

Who’s there? Who’s there? Thought I saw a something

Else inside you hidden in your stare

Your stare… Your stare

Help me! Help me! I could swear that there was

Someone in the dark here besides me

Besides me… Beside me…

Hello?

Hear Me (2022)

You can't hear me now, wish I could get through somehow

You don't know what's true, forget everything you thought you knew

You're living in a dream. You can't hear me when I scream

Things just aren't what they seem

I see you fall down, but you don't even feel the ground

You're walking on air. Nothing breaks your vacant stare

You're living in a dream. You can't hear me when I scream

Things just aren't what they seem

You don't even know how hard I tried to let you go

Oh when will you see? When will you hear my plea?

Your world's crashing down, broken pieces all around

You refuse to see all the things you do to me

You're living in a dream. You can't hear me when I scream

Things just aren't what they seem

Hear my final call, but you can't even hear at all

I just can't get through. There's nothing that I can do

You're living in a dream. You can't hear me when I scream

Things just aren't what they seem at all

The Question (2020)

Do you, do you know the answer?

I don’t even know the question

I don’t even know

What is wrong with me

Do you know the way?

It’s not every day we get to change the world

Get to change the world

The world needs a change

But the world stays just the same

No one else can hear our screams

Tearing us away from our dreams

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

I know, I know what you’re asking.

Everybody’s always asking

But no one ever seems to listen

No one seems to care

It’s just another empty phrase

Screaming it’s the end of days till we see that no one’s heard

No one’s heard a word

The world needs a change

But the world stays just the same

No one else can hear our screams

Tearing us away from our dreams

Hey.

How long? How long are you going to wait here?

Waiting for someone to tell you

Tell you where you should be going

What you’re meant to do

Do you know the way?

Or what you’re meant to say when you know the time is right?

Does it matter anyway?

The world needs a change

But the world stays just the same

No one else can hear our screams

Tearing us away from our dreams

Heeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyy

Street by the Zoo (2019)

Little Miss Sunshine she can’t

Wrap her mind around it

That he’d wrap her up in blankets

Just to ask if she could make it down by his way

And Mr. Brightside holds the

Right side of the mattress

Holds the flipside of the pillow like a gun

To his mildly depressed head

And all the animals they’ve

Wandered off the pages

Tomorrow, Eve will come with pears and apples

Sage is fine too

They’ll bar the gates in flame

Your grave will hold your only food through

All that remains are ruins,

Hidden in the street by the zoo

Here the writer sits and

Fiddles with his fingers

Sits and whittles away hours in the door

As he wishes she had more

But there she goes now, oh well,

They will always know how

How they wished for her to stay

Now they are far

Far away and torn apart

And all the animals they’ve

Wandered off the pages

Tomorrow, Eve will come with pears and apples

Sage is fine too

They’ll bar the gates in flame

Your grave will hold your only food through

All that remains are ruins

Hidden in the street by the zoo

Life is cruel but I am fine

Cause I have love and she has mine

Many times the dark will rise,

But let her light shine, be my guide

Someday soon if we should fall

We wouldn’t care one bit at all

She’ll see me through it all

And all the animals they’ve

Wandered off the pages

Tomorrow eve will come with pears and apples

Screw the story that they wrote for us,

We’ll live our lives out loud

Screw the ones who won’t be good to us,

Who cares if they’re not proud

Someday soon if we should fall

We wouldn’t care one bit at all

She’ll see me through it all

We’ll see through it all

We know time isn't kind

Say you're mine

We'll live our lives out loud

Seasons rise, seasons fall

Stormy skies

But we'll see it through it all

We'll see it through it all

Wings On My Guitar (2018)

All my life I’ve been living with this heartache

Got nothing left but this guitar and then my heart breaks

Hollow bodied, hollow souls are all I see

But I will walk these lonely streets or I will crawl ‘em on my knees

I will take this solemn city, I will burn it to the ground,

Still I know that I am never gonna catch you looking down on me

But the wings on my guitar will carry me farther

Than you ever wanted to

And you know I wouldn’t bother

Just drop that sentimental point of view

I’m stuck with sinners sanctify me bloody mark mates

We’ve driven down here, smash the windows, faulty car brakes

They take the pen from white eyes, needles scratching on the table

My brothers help me write my mind with hellfire if i’m able

I can rise from this position, I can fly if you will let me

Will I find your answer waiting, lurking,

I can make a bet see

How will I know if you world is wide enough,

Because i’m sure that my world, it ain’t big enough,

To fit my sword, my shield and all six strings I’d live and die by

Don’t want no petty talk and no remains of this old drive by

I’ll fly on my guitar that carries me farther

Than you ever wanted to

And you know I wouldn’t bother

Just drop that sentimental point of view

Lets bring it ‘round again, we’ll make a jagged circle,

You held me down, I’m drowning, choking, turning purple

With no remorse you jumped, fell swinging from my heartstrings

They start to break it makes me shake, the midnight bell rings

I will take this broken body, I will burn it to the ground,

You’ll never know the light I’ve been through, or the silence that I’ve found now

Cuz the wings on my guitar will carry me farther

Than you ever wanted to

And you know I wouldn’t bother

Just drop that sentimental point of view

Stardust (2018)

How many times have you told me that I'm a fool to reach for the stars?

You say that we should be content where we are

Your complacency is not for me I've got to live my life in the sun

I gotta keep on running till I reach the horizon

Cause I got stardust in my eyes

You can't bring me down

I see stardust in the skies

Can you see it falling down on me?

I see the world from above the clouds, breathe in deep; I feel the atmosphere

And for once in my life everything seems clear

I've got sun and moon and galaxies the universe is knocking at my door

I thrown the door open wide, can't stay inside anymore

Cause I got stardust in my eyes

You can't bring me down

I see stardust in the skies

Can you see it falling down on me?

You seem to think it's impossible, you can't change the world you're just one man

How can you expect to meet the heart's demand?

This winding road is full of twists and turns, many challenges we must face

We have to learn to sprint through every race!

Cause I got stardust in my eyes

You can't bring me down

I see stardust in the skies

Can you see it falling down on me?

From the reaches of the deepest space to the center of the black hole

Lays the great adventure waiting to unfold

There are men monsters marvels grand, all of time and space to explore

Haven't you ever wondered what it's got in store?

Cause I got stardust in my eyes

You can't bring me down

I see stardust in the skies

Can you see it falling down on me?

Bleeding Heart (2017)

You’ll be in my bleeding heart

Though the sun it may not shine and the stars may not align

You’ll be in my bleeding heart

Eleven years it’s been, it seems so long ago

Now we are worlds apart, the rain has turned to snow

You held me underneath, you wouldn’t let me breath

The hell you put me in you’ll never know

We’ve been broken from the start

Though I should’ve seen the signs, we were bound to break in time

We’ve been broken from the start

You’ll be in my bleeding heart

How could you say to me that it was just a dream,

After you promised me that love would reign supreme?

A billion miles away, I’ll never hear you say

That things were never really as they seemed

We will always be apart

Though you used to be my world, now you’re just another girl

We will always be apart

You’ll be in my bleeding heart

It was the best of times, the worst we’ve ever seen

I will remember how it felt before we ripped at the seams

You ripped my heart apart, you shattered my whole being

I’ll never understand just what you mean

When you say--

You’ll be in my bleeding heart

Though the sun it may not shine, and the stars may not align

You’ll be in my bleeding heart

Though I loved you for a time, God knows once I called you mine

You’ll be in my bleeding heart

Though I loved you for a time, God knows once I called you mine
