miles away :)



4 tracks
*ghostwriter
*so i guess this means i'm out of the bookclub
*rain eyes
*nowhere else


1) ghostwriter
- What did you expect, it’s always been this way
Looking for the chance to finally feel complete
Years fly by, you only live the past
Disowned, by myself, don’t ask why
I’m losing battles that I’ve already won
I’m fighting demons that are already dead

Because you left
Left that space inside my head
Empty space without a trace
Feelings all but lost inside
Emotion hard to fight, emotion now is hard to find
The full void, an empty well
Cobwebs in a jaded hell

These are the things that I don’t want you to hear
The hidden traits that I fucking fear
There’s certain things I keep inside
The dark side of my mind
There’s certain things I cannot find
The dark side of my mind
These are the things that I don’t want you to see

Say goodbye to all of those thoughts
Say goodbye to everything
Say goodbye to a mind locked in the past and all I’ve kept inside
Breaking and taking this home I’ve been making
Waking and faking these breaths I’ve been taking

Life takes a hold, time takes its toll
Life takes a hold, takes control

2) so i guess this means i'm out of the bookclub
- Breaking backs just to get ahead
Taking strides, try to feel alive
What we crave, something more than imagery
What remains, superficial lies
Still the masses wander blind
In a shallow world, pushed aside
Controlled by fear, unjustified
Read between the lines, a lack of substance in our lives
Courage washed out with the tide, it’s irreversible
Don’t settle for less, we settle for less, we settle again

3) rain eyes
- Reflect against a mirror of yesterday
Laughter we shared, a moment of clarity
The best ones you know, the first ones to go
So think back, look deep within, don’t let the burden suck you in
I know there are times we question reasoning
The best ones you know, the first ones to go

And now we’re grown up, we forgot all we had to say
Like sand running through our hands, eroding days away

Against a window of yesterday
Drama we shared, wouldn’t change a thing
The best ones you know, the first ones to go
In the end tragedy closes in
Stealing young lives before they even begin
And taking old lives that need to be read
The best ones you know, the first ones to go
We won’t forget times that were shared, the memories remain
We won’t forget times were shared, the knowledge engrained
So flick through old photographs, remember the lives that have come to pass
Holding back the year that come so fast

As the tears roll down your face
The pain of seeing your love laid waste
This is not in vain, we will not forget

Now we’re grown up, we forgot all we had to say
Like sand through our hands, eroding days away
We won’t forget times that were shared, the memory embraced

4) nowhere else
- Get in the van, let’s begin
Driving over Europe, thirty shows thirty days
Ten hours spent laying in the loft
Blackmailed in Spain by shady cops

The road is long
The floors are hard
The van’s a mess
There’s nowhere else I’d rather be

Darken the cabin, turn on a movie
We lose our minds, A.V.P.
Arrive at the show somewhere new
Foosball, bubble water, punk rock stew

The road is long
The floors are hard
The van’s a mess
There’s nowhere else we’d rather be

*<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 for memory embraced :)
