Lyrics:
When you think you’re not alone,
Remember how far you are from home,
Don’t think about the year,
Or how long it took you to get here.
When you think you’re getting by,
Remember how hard it is to try,
The near misses that almost were,
The dreams that re-occur.
Is it something,
That is in the air?
Or the water or leaves of the trees that grow down here?
Is it something,
Of which we’re not aware?
Raise your hand, shade your eyes, and push on through the glare.
When the future’s looking bright,
Remember how hard you’ll have to fight,
The people that couldn't take the stress,
And the people that you've left.
When the future’s looking clear,
Remember the mess between your ears,
No matter how hard you look this way,
Your other eye will always stray.
Is it something,
That is in the air?
Or the water or leaves of the trees that grow down here?
Is it something,
Of which we’re not aware?
Raise your hand, shade your eyes, and push on through the glare.

Lyrics:
When I’m awake, sitting here alone wondering what to say
Who I was in the past seems like such a blur memories never last
But there are some as clear as day, sitting on the way to school home haircuts, headphones on listening to My Chem and Taking Back Sunday
Open scenery, old gum trees are now chopped down and replaced with little houses full of little people who don’t give a fuck about the dead roots that lie beneath.
To tell the truth I’m not okay
I’m still filled with a childhood shame
I may be grown up now
It doesn’t matter how
The scaffolding is falling around me now
And how can I stand?
I’m trying all I can
When will this feeling of regret and guilt seem to ever end?
I tried to run for years, still stuck here with these fears
No one to hold, a head full of words my little piece of gold
I tried to run ahead failing to resolve nightmares under the bed
It’s not how I feel, it’s not even what I say, it’s not even how I break
It’s my capacity to love and in return be
It’s such a hindrance to be so damaged
Push myself against the doorway, take a deep breath in and I’m shaking as I try to say
To tell the truth I’m not okay
I’m still filled with a childhood shame
I may be grown up now
It doesn’t matter how
The scaffolding is falling around me now
And how can I stand?
I’m trying all I can
When will this feeling of regret and guilt seem to ever end?
I tried to run for years, still stuck here with these fears
I was here two steps behind you I was skipping along to your heartbeat I was keeping it strong on the off beat don’t fear
I was here two steps behind you I was skipping along to your heartbeat I was keeping it strong on the off beat don’t fear
To tell the truth I’m not okay (I was here two steps behind you I was)
I’m still filled with a childhood shame (skipping along to your heartbeat I was keeping it strong on the off beat don’t fear)
I may be grown up now, It doesn’t matter how (I was here two steps behind you I was)
The scaffolding is falling around me now (skipping along to your heartbeat I was keeping it strong on the off beat don’t fear)
And how can I stand? I’m trying all I can (I was here two steps behind you I was)
When will this feeling of regret and guilt seem to ever end? (skipping along to your heartbeat I was keeping it strong to ever end )
I tried to run for years, still stuck here with these fears (I was here two steps behind you I was skipping along to your heartbeat I was keeping it strong on the off beat)

Sorry for the double post, had a pesky cursor in the middle of the previous upload.
This was such a good song, and it was just crying out to be reimagined as a Dropkick Murphys-esque celtic punk song.
Oh and the EP with more Legend Of Everfree covers is out now.

Wanting/Knowing - Part 6
I thought I was done with this story. I really did.
But often Ill find out what a song is about part way through writing it, and thats what happened with one.
Not only have I added a new song to this storyline, but Ive pulled a song that I had though was unrelated into the wanting/knowing au.
HUGE thanks to HACKD for doing the video for this (as well as all the art for the original collection of songs).

-/|-|/- LYRICS -|/-/|-
Spent a lifetime trying to forgive,
For the choices she’s made, for the state that I’m in,
But a lifetime goes slowly when it has no end,
But I can see now that’s wrong, from the side of her bed.
She smiles softly, and I smile back,
But thinking of you, it starts to crack.
And with a tear, that I hope is misread,
I take my leave from the side of her bed.
It’s time to lower the sun.
I’ll sit here alone, in the moonlit grass,
Counting the stars until enough time has passed,
Half a century gone, and another to go,
Until we meet again at last
I used to think, that with time I’d forget,
But each passing year has been the hardest yet,
My friends were all there to lessen the sting,
But when I talk to them now, they don’t say anything,
Still I open the gate to visit them now,
Brush pass the stone, and lay on the ground,
I try to remember them before they grew old,
But off in the distance, I hear a bell toll,
The time of my reign has begun
New faces come, and new faces go,
It’s all a blur, it’s all a blur,
One by one, my garden grows,
And all that I want, is the way that we were.
The way that we were
The way that we were")
