Dead End Town

Train's bound North to a dead-end town,
Rain follows close, like tears flowing down.
People never seem to say "stick around"
Lets get away while there's a route out,
To a land you can live in, sans the doubt,
Hard times up here'll slip away,
Or so we hope.
No-one cares about us up here.
Lets escape to somewhere, lets disappear.
Its dead up here, I've heard them say.
Lets get away
The shops are boarded up one by one,
As the main street is overrun,
By chipboard walls and windows,
Once again.
But life is fine for those in the city -
"The time is over for apology"
They've no idea, down there.
No-one cares about us up here.
Lets escape to somewhere, lets disappear.
Its dead up here, I've heard them say.
Lets get away
(Guitar instrumental)
Lets get away while theres a route out,
To a land you can live without the doubt,
Hard times up here'll slip away, or so we hope.
But life is fine for those in the city,
"The time is over, for apology,"
They've no idea, down there.
No-one cares about us up here.
Lets escape to somewhere, lets disappear.
Its dead up here, I've heard them say.
Lets get away

I said I'd never leave you,
I guessed I never would,
But lately I've been thinking,
That maybe I should,
'Cause I know that there's no point,
In trying to patch it up.
Suppose a little time could really heal wounds,
But this is much worse, its a deadly monsoon
Of rage, and lies, and hate,
And I've gotta move.
But I could never again,
Be apart,
And though it'll drive me insane,
I will start
With every passing day, another change of heart,
But the dream at night's the same, it says that I must part,
And I don't think that I should leave you, in the dark.
Believe me when I say, it's not a passing phase,
Its festered, and festered, til' the winds have blown away,
The veil of words unspoken, that now I must say.
But I could never again,
Be apart,
And though it'll drive me insane,
I will start,
To see the sun past the rain...
(Instrumental)
But I could never again,
Be apart,
And though it'll drive me insane,
I will start,
To see the sun past the rain,
Past the sorrows and pain,
Once again.
(Instrumental)
But I could never again,
Be apart,
And though it'll drive me insane,
I will start,
To see the sun past the rain,
Past the sorrows, past the pain,
Once again.
Once again.

Storyteller

In the end,
Of your final chapter,
The good guy wins again,
Escapes from his captor.
Shining through,
Tear-stained laughter,
The watery eyes of,
The storyteller.
Reminiscing on a life you led long ago...
You were stuck in your prison,
But you got away.
Still I can't help,
Feeling this way
You would never have wanted,
To see a man like this.
But I can't help,
Feeling this way
Memories,
Of you make a film strip,
And each new scene,
Brings a feeling I can't grip.
Echoes ring out in the church hall,
From the widow.
As she tries to stay afloat.
By reminiscing on a life you led long ago.
You were stuck in your prison,
But you got away.
Still I can't help,
Feeling this way
You would never have wanted,
To see a man like this.
But I can't help,
Feeling this way
And I will stay strong,
I won't break down.
Though the road ahead is long.
It feels like...
Miles and miles.
Another day,
Another sunrise.
I drag myself from bed.
And then right back again.
Out the door,
A world of cloud and rain.
And when the night comes here,
I'll feel the same again.
Reminiscing on a life you led long ago...
You were stuck in your prison,
But you got away.
Still I can't help,
Feeling this way
You would never have wanted,
To see a man like this.
But I can't help,
Feeling this way
And I will stay strong,
I won't break down.
Though the road ahead is long.
It feels like...
Miles and miles.

Suffer for the Poison

Its been eight months since I wrote this song,
And nothing much has changed.
You're still in that dusty room
The sofa's still stained.
The cans still pile up like forever before,
Aren't you feeling restrained?
Never left the house, you daren't try to -
You feel to drained
And oh,
You suffer for the poison.
And oh,
You tried so hard this time,
But you were made to surrender
Seems so long, since you got stuck in this mess,
What will you do?
Stay in and lie down in front of the box,
With a bottle of booze.
It makes it easier, or so you say.
Or so you choose.
You're growing bitter, more every day.
And growing more blue
And oh,
You suffer for the poison.
And oh,
You tried so hard this time,
But you were made to surrender
