I'm Gone (free) 04:18
I kept walking away When you meant for me to stay. I meant to follow but I strayed I’m gone I’m gone I would picture the day Those first words I heard you say But all good memories do decay And are gone I’m gone I wake alone now on the lows Funny how plans can decompose You were the family that I chose And you’re gone You’re gone I’m gone I’m gone One day, we might just get to talk awhile and laugh for a time One day, we might just get to be alright, I’m not alright I feel it’s right, but nothing is right I’m gone I’m gone I’m gone I’m gone

In This City 03:42
Stop the traffic, Put the sirens to sleep Tell me I am not just one of the sheep lying in wait Tell me any lie to heal my pride In this city, In this city, you burn Your ambition’s bitter taste as it turns to ash in your mouth Hold me close and never let me go In this city of light, I have wandered for days I will stay up forever and cast all dreams away In this city of lies, I have nothing to say In this bustle and buzzing, I scream in vain I’ll go crazy and lose myself to the gloom, if No one hears me barking up at the moon, broken and proud In these streets in plain sight I will hide In this city of light, I have wandered for days I will stay up forever and cast all dreams away In this city of lies, I have nothing to say Nothing I’ve done has mattered, so let come what may

One more year of broken promise, shattered dreams that feed the darkness One more year of wasting time and waiting for my will to die One more year of wishing true the lies that brought me here to you One more year of frailty that won’t lead me to an end One more year, One more year One more year, One more year One more year of sacrifice or so they say for Jesus Christ One more year on bended knee, the testing of my loyalties One more year of alcohol to build me up and break my falls One more year of waiting by the phone for you to call One more year, One more year One more year, One more year One more year, One more year One more year, One more year One more year of growing older, pacifying, rolling over One more year of hoping I can last for just one more One more year, One more year One more year, One more year One more year, One more year One more year, One more year

You had a tree in the backyard felled When we were kids, its branches proudly held A swing set in a sandbox made By you Father with your skills of trade In that sandbox I used to play With my sisters ere we came of age Building castles and then kicking them away And now nothing of that time remains Oh the memory of a world contained In the confines of a yard you’d made You built a castle and you kicked it away Built up a kingdom just to let it fade And the neighbours would all come to see As we chased away the cat with glee Swinging back and forth till wisdom came Dooming interest in a sandbox to fade Oh the memory of a world contained In the confines of a yard you’d made You built a castle and you kicked it away Built up a kingdom just to let it fade You had a tree in the backyard felled And as it broke our sandbox quietly held Its ruin in a tomb you’d made And with it memories of much simpler days
