Long Way From Here

Everything is broken, for all the world to see,
No-one seems that bothered, or is that just me?
The pressures building and we all feel the strain,
Someone, somewhere’s sippin’ on the profits of our pain,
And the dawn seems a long way from here.
Lies to cover lies, with your shifty bloodshot eyes,
And all the while you’re shufflin’ round the truth,
The hypocrisy is leading me to fear we’re all the same,
The fallacy of democracy is a wicked worn out game,
And the dawn seems a long way from here,
Yes the dawn seems a long way from here.
Drifting onwards, aimlessly, guided blindly through this uncharted sea,
Waiting for the other foot to fall, stand together, oh wont you heed the call,
Drop them worthless souls whereupon they stand,
Will you be the hero to reclaim our promised land
And the dawn seems a long way from here.
Deflecting ever accuse, thats slander, libellous you say,
But prove me wrong and I’ll eat my f**kin’ hat,
Its been so long since you spoke the truth, your hubris only harms our youth
I for one, no I cant go for that
The dawn seems a long way from here,
Yes the dawn seems a long way from here.
Drifting onwards, aimlessly, guided blindly through this uncharted sea,
Waiting for the other foot to fall, stand together, oh wont you heed the call,
Drop them worthless souls whereupon they stand, will you be the hero to reclaim our promised land
Driving onwards, now we’ll see, guided strongly through this here raging sea,
We wont wait for the other foot fall, We’ll stand together, oh we will heed the call,
We will drop them whereupon they stand, we will be the heroes to reclaim our promised land,
Reclaim our promised land,
And the dawn don’t seem so long from here,
Now the dawn don’t seem so long from here,
Oh the dawn don’t seem so long from here.

Life Closes In

I'll walk with you through fields of mud and snow,
Crazy eyed in the hazy morning afterglow,
Bonded stronger than the moon and tide,
Sometimes rough but always worth the ride
When life closes in, but you will never see the likes of us around these parts again.
I'll give you time to mend your soul,
Go digging with you inside the deepest darkest holes,
These words may tumble, tumble off my tongue,
But I promise, promise you that I won't run, run, run
Oh when life closes in, but you will never see the likes of us around these parts again
Oh cause life closes in and you will never see the likes of us around these parts again
I've been every god damned place,
and I've seen every fucked up face,
they all look a lot like here,
the accents change, the patterns clear,
They'll all work and drink and die,
Don't roll the dice, don't ask me why.
Whats the point if they don't care?
But maybe they got lost out there
and life closed in, but you will never see the likes of them around these parts again
oh cause life closes in and you will never see the likes of us around these parts again
oh cause life closes in and you will never see the likes of us around these parts again
you will never see the likes of us around these parts again
you will never see the likes of us around these parts again.

Gutter Regrets

This is a night
For lovers and drunks
Stars are twinkling
A soft breeze sings
They can't feel a thing
When you were young,
You had it all,
You figured it out,
At the first time of asking,
So what brings you back here?
The gift of life,
Is lost on you.
Bitter and sweet,
The sky and sea,
Your ignorance blinds me.
When you were young,
You had it all,
You figured it out,
At the first time of asking,
So what brings you back here?
Do you obsess, on all your gutter regrets?
Do you obsess, on all your gutter regrets?
When you were young,
You had it all,
You figured it out,
At the first time of asking,
So what brings you back here?
Yes what brings you back here?
What brings you back here?
