I hadn't thought of you that often I hadn't thought of what I'd say I hadn't thought of you that often It's been a little while I know I guess five years don't go so slow & I'll admit I've handled it badly I was young & had to grow I hadn't thought of you that often I hadn't thought of what I'd say I hadn't thought of you that often It's a different time & I'm in… A different place It's not that I don't care for you no more In fact I give you all my wish It's not that I don't care for you no more I just don't care who you've been replacing me with I hadn't thought of you that often I hadn't thought of what I'd say I hadn't thought of you that often It's a different time & I'm in… A different place

Come november I'll be bruised & false blames not a calling cue Down your hallway, too disguised Wave Goodbye A chest of all your kind intentions Sliding down the wooden boards empty quilts when I've awoken Shattered glass is a metaphor, its a metaphor You say you want your freedom, but you still want your control Just say you want your freedom & I will fight for that March I'll be escaping grey & puzzles missing pieces gone astray Like a dollar to a gamblin' boy Shattered glass is a metaphor, its a metaphor You say you want your freedom, but you still want your control Just say you want your freedom & I will fight for that

Set Sail 03:21
There's more to life than stockpiling boats to float and rocks to flaunt There's more to life than golden dreams all thats glitters ain't always gold Second guess or we lose man I meant no troubled news Jump the wharf into the breeze & take a dive into the make believe Lets set sail I'm not that boy who fails I don't believe you don't believe in fairytales Jokes aside, I'm yet to realise all the noise you make, is too disguise Your confused Im confused too if you wonder if you have me, you do Let's set sail I'm not that boy who fails I don't believe you don't believe in Fairy tales can make you question is fear truly all so hard just remember every ending does always have a start Lets set sail I'm not that boy who fails I don't believe you don't believe in fairytales

Upon the fallen leaves a bird dropped down Said Ive got no more to live for now A little bird fallen a little bird lies A little bird dies And you know those stories they sing will break your heart Say you want a song that'll make you laugh Well here's a song that will make you cry A little bird dies You say you think Im losing my mind Well I lost that long ago & every time you tell a lie A little bird dies A little bird dies There won't be no shameful back foot crawl You could have come clean before the call You can't be losing faith from fright A little bird died Revenge might be your mighty word Lessons told ain't lessons learned Teaching children how to fight Did a little bird die? You say Im losing my mind Well I lost that long ago You say Im losing my mind & little bird dies

Your a pretty little stone and I will never know all you will ever know On mothers finger you glow and you don't even know what it means to watch you grow Theres only thoughts to describe and its not even like anyone else should ever know I used to read to know more words but some words don't exist & after all you've learned i hope you know If I saw you fall we'd fall together Your never all alone although, you get upset from time to time We've both out grown the chauffeur and I feel I'm getting closer to you, now your gone Would I have to write a letter to say that... If I saw you fall we'd fall together

He said Im only 10 years old I did never mean to hurt no one and the lawyers whispered in his ear be careful what you say you've done and the mother whispered in his ear If my boy had made it even to three he'd be twice what you are worth as her tears sooner swallowed her words But Ill take you back to that haunted railway track to waltz with his ghost, down in Walton So you feel her pain for her sons tortured name and the murder won't be forgotten The judges words were weakly written two 10 year old boys to be left not living dead in the clasp of custodies hands till they were deemed to be of man a punishment pointlessly given But Ill take you back to that haunted railway track to waltz with his ghost, down in walton So you feel her pain for her sons tortured name and the murder won't be forgotten

I've been inviting all my friends to meet these voices in my head its funny looking back all the things they would have said they'd send me straight to bed but I was eighteen then One year from now where would I be would you have grown new skin and I still be me would you walk the cobblestone faster than fire turn your eyes blind if we burnt those thieving liars 'cause the smoke could burn much brighter As the wind hurls the rooftops over the trees you sit there smirking watching them scream but how you lie there laughing while others do bleed I'd introduce you politely but their all to blind to see I've been inviting all my friends to meet these voices in my head its funny looking back all the things they would have said they'd send me straight to bed but I was eighteen then But the eagle do feast & the eagle do fly not caught in that coop of bloody wire I've been inviting all my friends to meet these voices in my head its funny looking back on the things they would have said they'd send me straight to bed but I was eighteen then

There were yellow sands and silver shells woven silk & rusted bells orchards spread over the plains and even though I knew her name I found myself in a wild garden ivy tied to hold me calmer genie eyes green like stems and flesh carved like rich rare stone gems She falsely cared, Not that I knew the garden grows as truth to do bloom a breath of spring a voice like autumn silence now the insects calling… One step away but I stepped the wrong way One step away but I stepped the wrong way Corrupt my hands, my feet, my lips bury by bones in Indian pits I'd followed the stones i thought you'd leave your heels exhaust was all I breathed How I let you run barefoot from me If i'd seen the prints before the breeze had swept them from my closing eye I'd gaze at you & not the sky… One step away but I stepped the wrong way One step away but I stepped the wrong way

When I die I hope you won't be mourning & speaking through tears of my name I hope & trust that you'll remember all we had down memory lane When I die I start to wonder will I be wise and unfazed by fear If so, ill go with grace to the ground and no there will be no tears When I die Go leave a letter in my grave that tells me all you never told me & ill write back one day When I die Please go collecting all the lies that I have told & tie to them to stones that are sinking too waters dark & cold When I die Don't you remember all the lines I've crossed inside your mind & don't forgot the silence that followed every time When I die Go leave a letter in my grave that tells me all you never told me & ill write back one day When I die Don't show my children The grave they dug to keep me all alone & tell them not to stand above me cause Im not there forever I am at home. When I die Go leave a letter in my grave that tells me all you never told me & ill write back one day
