Reality Check

I'd like to say what's on my mind
And then I'll try to keep it down
I'd write it down but I know
You would figure it out
We are all keepers in our mothers' eyes
But out there you're just another drink in a bar
Another drink in a bar
And when our bodies fill up with that cracking sense
Cracking sense of loss
We are even less
We know we should be running
But somehow our legs won't play along
Cause out there you're just another crack in the wall
Another crack in the wall
Out there you're just another spark
In a lonely souls' eye
Kid you've been running for too long, acting so strong
You're probably missing your home, but those days are now gone
No there is no goal, only a messy old road
You take a step at a time, pretending there was no crime
In selling your past, believing it wouldn't last
Now get up and fight, for who you think is right
But before, you need a reality check

Fighting Lions

I'll be fighting lions in a ring
Long after you're gone
And any other place would do,
Cause I'll know just where to find you
Locked up above in my head
And I promise to stay calm
When these days become a drag
And I promise to stand tall
But if there's any other way
Just please give me a call
And when you finally leave town
Nothing will be left, but the endless time
To think of all the reasons somewhere left behind
You're on your way home
But please don't get me wrong
I know, it's been a lot of fights so far
But there's still a lot to fight for
And in the end, if you decide to
Storm the front, not pulling back, not holding on
You're getting a big chance and you're getting alive out of this
But in the end, if you decide to
Take a rest, call a cab, grab a bag and not look back
Just let her know, she'll understand

Hardwired

I was standing at the bar and I was thinking I could use a drink
It was winter, it was cold and I was hoping I could see her again
My mind was twisted, it was dark, I could've sworn that I was seeing things
She stood right in front of me with a smile as wide as you can think
And she said, i know you're feeling lonely, but I could make it disappear
Just come with me and together we could make you feel
We could make you feel alright again
Now, I'm out of answers, out of tricks
Out of walls and out of bricks
Honey, this heart's on fire, but I'm so tired
And if, on the count of three, you could still be loving me
Honey, this heart's a liar
And I'm selling if you're the buyer
Cause, I am hardwired for you
Blue-eyed shadow let me be
Oh can't you see?
This old love it cannot be
Oh can't you see?
I am, I am
I am hardwired for you

The Wreck I am
05:06

I will never see you again
And you won't ever know
How lately I've been so off
The doors collapse and I try to think
About what it exactly I wanted to say
Then turn around and make a step
You walk away, as it everything was fake
Don't miss your flight,
It started there, it will probably end like that
Cause, you don't have a home
It's all a mess, just an escape plan
No more, no less
And if the plan works out, you've done well
If it fails, just ring the bell
I'll take you in
She will never have me
She can't replace you,
She will never see me,
As the wreck I am
As the wreck I am
She will never have me,
I'll be around, but empty
I'll be around, but empty
She will never have me

Cave

I've spent my money, I've got nothing to give
I'm a simple dreamer with no ace up my sleeve
I'm a wreck, no survivors, not much left to achieve
And if this is how you see me
Then you might as well leave
I drink my troubles away, I've got my friends to help me forget
And you may call them whatever you'd like them to be
But this is where I'll place my bets
Life may not be a cake, but somehow I manage to set
My priorities, my ways, if you can't keep up, just take a rest
And if this is how you want me
Then you might as well leave
Cause I've got a simple master plan
All i wanna be is a better man

You will Shine
04:12

In every street, every town
People get together, they gather around
Trying to find out about
The plot, it's twisted, but the question is simple
Who I am, who I am, who am I?
And me, myself, oh I don't mind
If I die tonight, all forgotten and lost
If I die, if I die
Just give me a moment, just spare me some time
It's gonna take a while, gonna take a while this time
So, if you wanna reach the top shelf, that one really high
Your road's gonna take a bit longer than a single mile
And you won't be able to do it by yourself, child
So, have a good look, make a good pick
A single person just might wanna do the trick
The song ends here, but the story lives on
Remember, it's not about the tune, not about the chords
It's about, though, how you plan to play along
So, give it a smile, hold your head up high
Every time, and you will shine
You will shine
