The Prize

I keep my eyes on the prize
Don’t look on the sides
Just keep on keeping on
Of course I need to be alone
I work day in and day out
It’s no secret it’s hard to get by
I’m so tired and I don’t know why
It’s not like I stayed up all night
Everyone you cared about
Everyone you hold tight
They’re not answering their phones
This time you’re on your own
If you’d turn around
You’d see you stopped having fun a while ago
I mean it won’t change my mind, hell no
Not until I’m in the ground
I’d love a few beers with you
Pick the time, just tell me
But you never pick up the phone
Everyone you cared about
Everyone you hold tight
They’re not answering their phones
This time you’re all alone
Every one you cared about
Every one you held tight
They’re not answering their phones
They’re not, you’re all alone

Alright

Alright
In the dark
Alright
Everything is fine
Nothing left to lose
On the bathroom floor
Alright
Whatever brings me back
Are you alive ?
If so, let’s run and hide
No doubt, you shouldn’t have signed
And without
Pain it’s so hard
Alright
Lost in the night
Alright
Everything is fine
Are you alive ?
If so, let’s run and hide
No doubt, you shouldn’t have signed
And without
Pain it’s so hard
I must have fight
Into this insane dream
My guard was down
Alright now, it’s time
Babe it’s alright
Who’s that now ?
Is it I ?
Not sure why
Please look at the sign
We’ve been around
We’ve been around
And lost track of time
This time
This time

I Couldn't Cry

I pull myself out of the dark
I start to stand to be alive
There’s no one around
I couldn’t cry though I tried
It’s still early don’t waste your time
I thought inside and out
There’s no hope
I wanna see you one last time
I’m not fun when you’re not around
Is it too late to say goodbye ?
Should I stop you ?
Again...
I couldn’t cry
It’s still early don’t waste your time
I couldn’t cry though I tried
I’m not fun when you’re not around
I thought about it inside and out
There’s nothing to be found
I didn’t cry, it’s not the first time
Are we going through this again, coz I’m not sure it makes sense
Was it worth our while, I guess we’ve run out of time
We tried, we tried, and without a sound, we ran out of time
Out of time, out of time, out of time, out of time...

Worry

You say I find ways to fail when all is fine
So you still don’t get it after all this time
I guess I can’t blame you, you’re not the only one
Wait, you were, you were not like everyone
Don’t you worry,
You’ll do great without me
From couches to floors I do wake up early
I’m always the first one up, I guess I worry
But this time, it’s not the same you’re not here with me
It’s just a new start, it’s only the fourth one
Don’t know where I’m going and it’s fine
Sometime soon I will leave again
And we’ll cry, no need to explain
I do worry,
I don’t know where you’ll be
From couches to floors I do wake up early
I’m always the first one up, I guess I worry
But this time, it’s not the same you’re not with me
Of course I worry, I’ve no idea where you are
After all these years, we should be able to sleep at night
No one is to blame,
And I can’t recall a single fight
From couches to floors I do wake up early
I’m always the first one up, I guess I worry
But this time, it’s not the same you’re not with me

The Pines

There was a time when I could walk around town
I don’t why but it changed, don’t ask, it’s fine
There was a time when you could dream of pines
It was quiet and neat, sleep away, run away, we’ll be infinite
We woke up, now we’re up, and we are chasing ghosts with an empty bottle
Be careful, watch your steps, I don’t mind, I don’t mind if you miss this battle
I look away, and you’re there, you left and forgot to say you’ll be back some day
Great to see you, where have you been, I won’t know, you won’t say, I’m worried you’ll leave again and I’ll stay
I can’t force you stay
So I’ll leave before you come home
Forgive me
