I've been looking out for something
To replace a sense of nothing
And to fix my broken smile
Here's the last train outta here for a while
So, I get straight in
The people here are rushing
And the attitude is crushing
So I pick another pile
Let the past escape me for a while
Cause I'm wearing thin
Don't rein me in
Ooo, it's a long way back now
Ooo, don't change your track now
Ooo, it's a long way back now
Ooo, don't change your track now
You say that I've been running
From my issues. Don't be shunning
I just needed a fresh start
And a resurrection of the heart
To clarify within
It's been a long time coming.
I can hear the engine humming
And it's giving me a smile.
It's the last train outta here for a while
So don't rein me in
Don't rein me in
Ooo, it's a long way back now
Ooo, don't change your track now
Ooo, it's a long way back now
Ooo, don't change your track now

Here to retake, you're on the pier
Edge of the lake, alone
Ago, the languor; it was hard to hone
Now, your here
Tremble and shake, you found your fear
Stuck in the danger zone
Forgo the antlers, 'cause your on your own
Now, my dear
Finding your way
It's not easy alone; destiny unbeknown
Time to allay! It's not written in stone.
Revel the undertone
You'll find your home
Into the lake, you throw your gear
"It's all a mistake", you groan
Let go the anger, 'for it's overflown
How you tear
Here to forsake what you adhere
Honour the way you've flown
I know the answer isn't always shown
Loud and clear
Finding your way
It's not easy alone; destiny unbeknown
Time to allay! It's not written in stone
Revel the undertone
You'll find your home

Neverland

Another early morning
The sun begins adorning
As I stumble out of bed
And I'm glad to feel it overhead
The nights are getting colder
And I'm feeling mighty older
Since I left it all behind
But, at least I'm not so colour-blind
I'm feeling mighty older
But it's good to realign
I tried to lift a boulder
And I withered to a smoulder
All my needs were out of sight
What a farce me tryna get it right!
I didn't engineer it
But I had to persevere it
Like a part of something grand
Climb the ropes that lead to neverland
I had to persevere it
And it's good to know I can
It's good to know I can
It's good to know I can
It's good to know I can
It's good to know I can

Down by the blue
Can't find a cue
Lost in the hue
Thinking of you
Maybe it's not that bad?
Don't sing a song too sad
Maybe it's not that bad?
Don't sing a song too sad
All that I rue
Sand in my shoe
Hard to undo
My time with you
Maybe it's not that bad?
Don't sing a song too sad
Maybe it's not that bad?
Don't sing a song too sad

Undertow

I was trying to belong
Then, I found it hard to see
I could be a tagalong
Thereupon
Hither came a lonesome swan
We would shoot the shit together
And play our favourite song
Before too long
There's so much about you, A-Z
But there's one thing I hope I've not misread
Tell me, can you feel it in the undertow?
I've been working up to this since long ago
But now I can't hold back because you burn so bright
Please don't go estranging if you don't requite
I just need you to know, for what it's worth
She became an Amazon
Our comradery was shrouded
She joined the pantheon
Hereupon
Don't forget what is bygone
All this periwinkle patience
Oh, what I hope is yon
Has got me wan
There's so much about you, A-Z
But there's one thing I hope I've not misread
Tell me, can you feel it in the undertow?
I've been working up to this since long ago
But now I can't hold back because you burn so bright
Please don't go estranging if you don't requite
I just need you to know, for what it's worth
I just need to say
I don't mind either way
But there's no point concealing
Tell me, can you feel it in the undertow?
I've been working up to this since long ago
But now I can't hold back because you burn so bright
Please don't go estranging if you don't requite
I just need you to know, for what it's worth

I stare at the ceiling
Allying the dread
My mind is overwrought by what was said
I guess I was reeling
And trying to redd
It's times like these I wish I could re-tread
Eyes wide open
It's now I shed
What a chance to learn!
Plight bespoken
It's in good stead
Let the boiler burn
Yeah
And, hang on to the bow
I'm caught in a feeling
Of trouble in tread
But there's a place of worship in my head
No body's stealing
Your heart, sleepy-head!
Be careful of the nonsense that you spread
Eyes wide open
It's now I shed
What a chance to learn!
Plight bespoken
It's in good stead
Let the boiler burn
Yeah
And, hang on to the bow
You're a figurehead
A figurehead
You're a figurehead
A figurehead

Just the other day
She wandered through the fray
And on the other side
She fills me with such pride
I think about
All the things I've said and done
When only half attending life
And I wish a would have
Tried a little harder to
Keep in mind
The battles that were won
It's in our DNA
To throw it all away
And beat our chest. We vie
As though we'll never die
I think about
All the things I've said and done
When only half attending life
And I wish a would have
Tried a little harder to
Keep in mind
We're orbiting the sun

High on the hills above the town
There's a quiet apple tree
It tempered me
When I was working up a frown
Thinking 'bout the world I see
So painfully
How can I strive to so beget
A love you won't so soon forget?
Such inhumanity
In perpetuity
Let's take some time to clear out debt
Alone in ill and barren ground
This defiant apple tree
It came to me
When all my hope was looking down
What a noble cause to be
So patiently
How can I strive to so beget
A love you won't so soon forget?
Such inhumanity
In perpetuity
Let's take some time to clear out debt
I look to the west
This time of earliness leads a shaken morrow
Have I seen it all before?
I'm only a guest
My how this loneliness is a strange emotion
It resonates the roots in me
