Tears for my shadow

Is the pressure always worth the treasure
I'll wait for the lessons I've learnt
Pain, Pain and pleasure
we'll pay, for the mistakes that we've made
I'm done running from my name
Is the lateness I crave, gonna break me someday
but to no greatness I'll pray
Late, too late sunrise
too late closed eyes
I wait for those hours
you won't catch me shedding tears for my shadow
Is the weight that we push
destined to raise?
and take us from our ways
Time, time in my pocket
right there where I left it
when adulthood came
And is the only ghost here
too lonely to scare
like it did to me then?
Fine, it's fine if I lock it
it's mine don't forget it
please remind me someday
You won't catch me shedding tears for my shadow
If I keep waiting will you hold out your hand?
Is the pressure always worth the treasure
I'll wait for the lessons I've learnt
Pain, Pain and pleasure
we'll pay, for the mistakes that we've made
I'm done running from my name

Throw away

I'll keep moving, if you promise to keep pushing
I wasn't even looking with a question, when you appeared with an answer
and it's with its weight in gold and it's good if you can get it
help me get it
It's worth the wait, I'm getting old, hold me and forget it
you won't regret it
Bet everything on red, repeat everything you said, fill the holes in my head with your knowledge
Throw away the fake
Take everything you make
Just this when it's late
I need to read it
Throw away misery
when you let me in
Say no more while I lay in the garden
think of me and I'll think of thee
destined by design
no cut brings luck but experience it bleeds
no more reading lies every morning
and
now it's time to walk way
down a new path that I
know is mine, I let it blow away
didn't even have to ask
and it's all gone quiet
caught on fire
see the flames rising
kinda mesmerising and
seek advice
too weak, too tired
burn my vice to make it through the night
fold the soul over
when it's over
never go for indecision
Break the silence
with your torment
won't you try to make me listen
Borrow an emotion when the erosion gets a-going,
down the road it's stopped in motion
there's a notion we can focus on
soak the note yo wrote in petrol
burn the words but save the rhetoric
sounds exact, sounds pathetic
won't come to us, have to get it
A brand new health I swear I will monitor
a new kind of wealth I hope it follows ya
I flew the flag, I'm sorry if it bothers ya
true to my word, so absurd
I heard it worries ya?
So I travel straight back home and i write a song about my woes
it grows my nose Pinocchio
far too slow
I wish I'd know that
Throw away misery
when you let me in
Say no more while I lay in the garden
think of me and I'll think of thee
destined by design
no cut brings luck but experience it bleeds
no more reading lies every morning

Opaque

Stuck between a rock and a hard place
I know my fate ain't chosen by you
Never enough, but it's Ok
it's opaque
I see through
Inside there's a riot and the fire will long blaze
past our days, only we know the truth
When you think it's all love it turns out to be hate
you bring the fire and I'll bring the fuel
talking is overrated
let the music say words like I can't commit
Don't tell me you waited all the time for this
it sounds so absurd
they say if the shoe fits
rage won't race through me
keep thinking I know me
I'll drown in anxiety
'til I find a way out
out of mind
out of sight
out of time
out of fight
out at night
out for crimes
candles bright
and I go
Stuck between a rock and a hard place
I know my fate ain't chosen by you
Never enough, but it's Ok
it's opaque
I see through
