How Are We Living?

I'll still be feeling low
How are we living? [Blue]
He'll still be slipping through
We all come to it
How are we living? [Blue]
I'll still be slipping through
When it comes to it
Break my patience with deliberation
Love that's like no other a contradiction
But now I know
Such is this life
Enclosed but free
Restricting me
But now I know
Such is this life
Fallen debris
Scattered at my feet
How are we living?
Who we are
I need to find balance inside my heart
Who we are
I need to find balance - I need to fly
Who we are
I need to find balance inside my heart
Who we are
I need to find balance - I'm on standby
Break my patience with deliberation [feeling lonely]
Love that's like no other a contradiction
Who we are...

Cruel To Be Kind

Cruel to be kind
Kindness is cruel
It was our duty as the able bodies
It was our duty as the able minded
You need an exit and we supply it
It was our duty as the able bodies
To pick up the peaces and keep you smiling
Holding you close as you willingly slipped
Not in the moment, not equipped
Holding you close as you willingly slipped
I lost a friend - I lost a friend
Today to life - Forever
Today to life - I lost you
I felt you take your final breaths you slipped away
I held on as your heart shut down
I lost my friend to life they took them away
I'll hold on the best I can
Today to life - Forever [through and through]
Today to life - I lost you [through and through]

Some Nights

Our lives are just so intense but maybe that's the brilliance?
So much of this doesn't make sense, I question the spirit and amens.
Our lives are just so intense but maybe that's the brilliance?
Some of this doesn't make much sense, I question the spirit and amens
I wouldn't be here without you gifting life to me
I wouldn't be me without you here
Had I been there all alone
I wouldn't be the man you know
I was never reckless enough
I always wondered how this drama ends
Our lives are just so intense but maybe that's the brilliance?
Some of this doesn't make much sense, I question the spirit and amens
Thankfully there was enough distraction along the way
I was able to change my course thankfully
I wouldn't be me without you and that's ok
I always knew I didn't belong so I'd drift away
Too close to see - too far away to bid adieu
We tried so hard but then we withdrew
Emotional danger with no defence
It made this all just too intense
I was never reckless enough
I always wondered how this drama ends
Our lives are just so intense but maybe that's the brilliance?
Some of this doesn't make much sense, I question the spirit and amens

Forest Fire
07:50

It was dark but we still could see the flames
He was bleeding and we couldn't make it stop
There was changing but he still could see my name even through the dense smoke
The fire burned on... on and on and on
I felt it - the heat was just so hot
And it raged on and we couldn't move a thing
Moments slipped by as they usually do
The fire burned on... on and on and on
Behind the fire, behind the veil of smoke
Trees burn to ash and life turns to smoke
Footprints covered in dust
The fires spread they rage on 'til nothing's left
Taking life with no hindsight
Everything gone alight
Behind the fire there is so much to see
I can settle for less but that's not up to me
I'm not the one who's struggling on and on
I can't be there it's not that I don't care

I'll Still Be Here

Hold me close, retain our warmth
Hold me close, rock back and forth
Secured in place by loving embrace
I try to pause but the time ticks by
by the way I'll still be here
Let's make it clear I'll still be here
As our lives drift near I'll still be her
Hold me close when people die
Hold me near when I live in fear
I love this home, our bond is our cement
It holds these walls but the cracks still show
By the way
Let's make it clear I'll still be here
As our lives drift near I'll still be her
These are the days you wish that you could crack
Patching the days you always want back
These are the days you never get back
Your life is off track.
Let's make it clear
