If in my mind I insist when I die

Our adventures - daydreams only
We can wake up anytime

Searching For Light
03:39
|

Verse 1
Down in the morning after
Regret the night before
You don't recall her name
What were you looking for?
Following faded footsteps
Roll in the waves of time
I'm standing on the shore
What am I looking for?
Chorus
Searching for light
Try as I might
I never find
Verse 2
Only the lonely people
Find time to stand apart
They understand my mind
Know what is in my heart
All in the way we see it
Some say it all makes sense
I'm sitting on the fence
What am I looking for?
Repeat Chorus
Breakdown
Verse 3
Driving a road to Gravesend
Queues on M25
Back to where I am from
But does this feel like home?

What was I looking for

Special Gift

Verse 1
Down in the gutter
Running like rats
Fight for survival
Vie for the scraps
Nobody is sure
Which way to turn
Nobody understands
Yet to be learned

Up on the sidewalk
Shopping for thrills
Spending money
Oiling the wheels
Nobody is sure
What satisfies
Nobody understands
Truth from the lies

All this not knowing
Maybe meant to be
Like a special gift
Like a U.S.P

Helping hand if you require
Sharing only where desired

Selling Our Self Short
02:17
|
|||
Verse 1
And if I tell a lie
And no one finds me out
How much do I get away with
If I've become a liar?
Verse 2
And if I use some one
And no one pulls me up
How much do I get away with
If I've become a player?
Chorus
Sometimes I think what a shadow of what we could be we've become. What a ghost of who I am I settle for. And we'd all manifest so much more if we stop selling our self short
Verse 3
And if I step on toes
But no one sees through me
How much do I get away with
If I've become a user?
Repeat Chorus
Verse 4
And if I blame some one
Proclaim my innocence
How much do I get away with
If give up my power?
