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
2.
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 03:20
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
4.
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
5.
Cave 04:32
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
6.
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
