Never Know Why

Verse 1
They say a friendship that ends,
It never was one
‘cause how could someone that/who was close
Turn into a fading ghost?
Maybe I am naive,
But how is this done?
When you don’t know what happened here.
It’s been a year
Pre
You know that I
Would go on and try
To fix whatever is broken,
Would you just tell me what it is?
Chorus
D’you know this silence makes me wonder
All over again
Why I can’t find the answer to who I really am?
It will never be enough to reach out, I’ve tried.
‚Cause my hand stays cold
& I will never know, I will never know why.
Verse 2
Whenever I wrote I felt like a burden.
I asked you how you are, but could never reach that far.
I guess at some point didn’t want to bother.
But I am way too afraid to let important things fade.
Verse 3
They say a friendship that ends,
It never was one
I don’t know what happened here.
It’s been a year

These Words

Verse 1
I don’t know everything but
I‘m aware of a lot.
I reckon there‘re so many times I’ve thought
I‘m someone I’m not.
Talk about things I’ve said but
Keep in mind that they’re gone.
I reckon there’re so many times I’ve lost
My train of thought.
Pre-Chorus
Your purpose of existence
is to rob me from mine.
Getting weaker over time.
Does it make a difference
that I can’t draw a line?
Refrain
These words they die as I write them down.
All that emerges risks getting hurt.
I’m sure I’d lie if I turned around
I can’t return this, it’s all I’m worth.
Verse 2
Start a life being scared can’t
be the right way to go.
I believe God can‘t agree if I
would take it slow.
Bridge
If you should ask me
Bare in mind that I
have been unable to speak my mind
cause courage is hard to find.
If you should ask me
bare in mind that I‘m
a work in progress
that tries to hide, to hide.

Gaslight

Verse 1
I guess how I felt didn’t matter
As long as your point of view came through.
You said what I feel can’t be real
And what do I know?
My confidence kept crumbling
Integrity seemed lost.
You made me distrust my instincts
And idea of good & bad.
Chorus
What do I know bout my feelings?
How do I know what I want?
I’m way too good at believing
that it’s always all my fault.
You were this close to breaking me
I almost believed every word.
But gaslight isn’t real,
It isn’t real
It isn’t real light.
Verse 2
You made it clear, that what matters
is your reputation, cause that won’t look good.
You made me the bad guy cause now someone
will have to fill in.
You said that you can’t help me,
if explaining it won’t do.
It felt more like excuses, reasons
why it’s me not you.
Bridge
I know there are always two sides to a story, to this story
At some point I just stopped telling mine.
You know I was overpowered
by the words coming at me from front, left & right.
So all I felt as I left was relief.

Take Me Home

Verse 1
I feel the tide is rising,
I feel it rising, I feel it rising over me.
I feel the sun is setting,
I feel it setting, I feel it setting over me.
Pre-Chorus
Oh, I know, I am strong to fight.
Oh, I know, though the air feels tight.
Oh, I know, I will win the fight.
Oh I know, wrong will turn to right.
Chorus
Take Me Home, take me home
To the source of the voice that calls my heart a home.
Take me home, take me home,
‘cause I long for a place to rest my heart & soul.
Verse 2
I feel the walls are moving,
I feel them moving, I feel them moving, closing in.
I feel the rain is falling,
I feel it falling, I feel it falling down again.
